Batman & Robin #6

This French Urban Comics edition — subtitled À la recherche de Robin — presents one of the most emotionally striking Batman covers of 2016: a close-up of the Dark Knight shrouded in shadow, his eyes burning a fierce, grief-stricken orange, while a small ornate coffin rests at the center of his chest symbol. The image, signed by Andy Kubert, communicates a raw and haunting sense of loss without a single word. Peter J. Tomasi, Patrick Gleason, and Andy Kubert collaborate on a volume that clearly puts Batman's bond with Robin — and the weight of absence — at its heart.
