“Elixir Part One”

In "Elixir Part One," Batman teams up with retired detective Harvey Bullock to unravel the mystery of the enigmatic Elixir agency—one that reaches back to the early days of Bullock’s career in Gotham PD. Written by Tom Taylor and illustrated by Lee Garbett, with colors by Lee Loughridge and letters by Wes Abbott, the issue blends noir tension with a personal stake, all framed by Mikel Janín’s striking cover.
