Batwoman #24

Batwoman #24 is a visually arresting entry in DC's New 52 lineup, with a cover by J. H. Williams III that splits its composition into stark quadrants of red and grey. On one side, Batman grapples with a red-haired figure amid a desaturated struggle; on the other, Batwoman stands fierce and fully rendered in vivid crimson, weapons at the ready — while silhouettes of both heroes loom against a fiery backdrop above. It's a striking visual argument about two Dark Knights on a collision course, and with Williams, Blackman, and McCarthy all on board, "This Blood Is Thick: Plots" promises exactly the kind of moody, high-stakes storytelling this series does so well.
