Detective Comics #41

Francis Manapul's cover for this August 2015 issue sets a striking tone, layering a detailed Gotham County map beneath a bold orange palette as an armored police officer spreads his arms wide, flanked by a young woman in an ICE vest and a wary blonde civilian — while a masked, mechanical figure looms to the left and a massive Batman silhouette dominates the skyline above. The "To Serve and Protect" motif blazed across the cover suggests law enforcement and vigilantism are about to intersect in complicated ways. With Buccellato, Manapul, and Blanco all on board, "Reunion, Part 1 of 4" looks like a tightly crafted crime story with real stakes for Gotham's streets.
