Batman / Shadow #4

Batman and the Shadow stand back-to-back at the center of a churning melee, surrounded by a rogue's gallery of armed and dangerous adversaries — figures brandishing guns, blades, and torches close in from every angle in a vivid clash of magenta and shadow. Riley Rossmo's kinetic cover art captures the two dark avengers as a unified force against overwhelming odds, with the Dark Knight's cape sweeping upward like a storm while the Shadow's crimson scarf cuts through the chaos below. Written by Scott Snyder and Steve Orlando with colors by Ivan Plascencia, this fourth installment of the six-part crossover keeps the tension wound tight.
