“Batman, Do Not Solve My Murder”

In "Batman, Do Not Solve My Murder," Batman confronts a baffling case: a tech genius found dead in a locked room, his final act a chilling message scrawled in blood urging Batman not to solve the crime. Written by Al Ewing and illustrated by Stefano Raffaele, John McCrea, and Fico Ossio, with inks by the artists themselves and colors by Lee Loughridge, Tríona Farrell, and Ulises Arreola, the story unfolds with tense precision. Mikel Janín's striking cover captures the mystery’s eerie tone.
