Batman vs. Bigby! A Wolf in Gotham #5

The penultimate chapter of Bill Willingham's mature-readers DC Black Label crossover delivers a cover by Yanick Paquette that's genuinely hard to look away from: Batman lunges forward atop a massive open book while a disheveled Bigby Wolf scrambles beneath him, and looming over both of them in the shadowy upper corner is an enormous, hat-wearing figure whose presence feels quietly ominous. The composition — two formidable figures trapped within the pages of a storybook while something far larger watches — captures the series' clever collision of noir Gotham and fairy-tale mythology in a single striking image.
