Batman: The Return of Bruce Wayne #6

The concluding chapter of Grant Morrison's six-part miniseries arrives with a cover by Andy Kubert that puts Batman front and center — cape flaring dramatically, grappling line in hand, surging forward through a city backdrop lit by fires and muzzle flashes from weapons aimed directly at him. It's a visceral image of the Dark Knight at full throttle, completely in his element against overwhelming odds. With interior art from Lee Garbett and Pere Pérez, this December 2010 finale is a satisfying capstone to one of DC's most ambitious Batman stories of the era.
