Batman: The Dark Knight Detective #8

Jan 2024 · DC · 29.99 USD; 39.99 CAD
“Succession”

In "Succession," the Cluemaster resurfaces with a new modus operandi—no more clues at the scene—yet someone else is playing a dangerous game, planting breadcrumbs that draw Batman and Robin into a mystery deeper than the criminal’s latest heist. Written by Chuck Dixon and brought to life by Tom Lyle’s sharp art, Scott Hanna’s inks, Adrienne Roy’s colors, and John Costanza’s lettering, this 2024 DC tale unfolds with a tense, deliberate pace. The cover, a striking piece by Matt Wagner, captures the eerie precision of the game being played.
