Batman / Wildcat #3

The third and final round of this 1997 DC miniseries delivers a cover that wastes no time setting the stakes — Batman and Wildcat are locked in a fierce, all-out brawl amid rubble and chaos, while two enormous, snarling figures loom in the background like forces of nature barely contained. Art Thibert and Danny Miki give both combatants a raw, kinetic energy that makes the confrontation feel genuinely hard-hitting. With Chuck Dixon and Beau Smith scripting and Sergio Cariello on interior art, "The Long Count" brings this bout between two of DC's finest hand-to-hand fighters to its conclusion.
