Batman / Superman: Authority Special #1
In "Empire of Shadows," Batman teams with Superman and the Authority to confront a terrifying threat from a parallel world—Shadow Earth—where Ra's Al Ghul's descendants have forged an unbreakable empire. With the fate of Earth Zero hanging in the balance, this high-stakes mission unfolds across a dark, meticulously rendered alternate reality, drawn with bold precision by Trevor Hairsine and Ben Templesmith, and colored with haunting depth by Rain Beredo and Ben Templesmith. The cover, by Rodolfo Migliari, captures the chilling scale of the invasion before it begins.
