Detective Comics #1026

In "Monsters of Men," Batman plunges into Gotham’s poisoned underbelly during the chaos of the Joker War, tracking a series of disappearances that lead him deep into the sewers. There, he uncovers a shocking sight: Killer Croc commanding a group of mutated individuals, their bodies altered by toxic waste the Joker deliberately unleashed. Written by Peter J. Tomasi and illustrated with gritty precision by Kenneth Rocafort—whose dynamic interior art and striking cover bring the nightmare to life—this issue blends urban dread with the grotesque, setting a chilling tone in a city already teetering on the edge.
