Detective Comics #35

From the creators of the main story — Benjamin Percy, John Paul Leon, and Dave Stewart — comes this unsettling chapter-opener from the New 52 era, released in December 2014. The cover, rendered by John Paul Leon, pulls you down the aisle of what appears to be a commercial aircraft, where slumped, sickly passengers fill the seats while a lone Batman stands watch in the background, his silhouette a rare point of calm amid the grim tableau. "Terminal, Part One" sets a haunting, grounded tone that makes this issue feel more like a thriller than a superhero adventure.
