Detective Comics #24

Unbridled Wrath!" declares the tagline, and Jason Fabok's cover delivers exactly that — Batman and a heavily armored, glowing-eyed adversary locked in a fierce, gun-blazing clash amid smoldering rubble while an aerial armada fills the burning sky above Gotham. The scale of destruction on display makes it clear writer John Layman is pushing Batman into a genuinely threatening situation in "State of Shock." New 52 readers following this run will find plenty to look forward to in this 2013 installment.
