Batwing #15

Batwing is in serious trouble on the cover of this February 2013 New 52 installment, as the armored hero is shown pinned down and overwhelmed by a press of desperate, grasping hands — a visceral image that makes the tagline "Father Knows Bloodlust!" feel all the more unsettling. Marcus To's cover art wrings genuine tension from the chaos, with the glowing Batwing chest symbol providing the only cool light amid a sea of red. Writer Fabian Nicieza and artist Fabrizio Fiorentino bring the "Lost and Found" story to readers who enjoy their superhero adventures with a raw, street-level edge.
