Bruce Wayne: The Road Home: Outsiders #1

Part of DC's 2010 "Bruce Wayne: The Road Home" crossover event, this one-shot drops into the world of the Outsiders with writer Mike W. Barr and artist Javier Saltares at the helm. Shane Davis's cover puts two battle-ready figures front and center — a red-masked young man crackling with energy at his fingertips and a dark-haired woman raising a gleaming sword, both looking combat-worn against a shadowy, shard-filled background. It's a striking image that promises the Outsiders are in for a rough ride as Bruce Wayne's long road back intersects with their world.
