Black Mask: Year of the Villain #1
In "Looks Can Kill," Black Mask finds himself cornered after a botched armored car heist, but when Lex Luthor offers a way out—along with the terrifying ability to steal any face—his path to vengeance takes a shocking turn. As Batwoman and Renee Montoya race to uncover the truth behind a corporate takeover orchestrated by a man who’s no longer who he claims to be, the line between identity and deception blurs. Written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Cully Hamner, with colors by Dave Stewart and letters by Wes Abbott, the cover by Mitch Gerads captures the chilling transformation in bold, striking detail.
