In "The Doomsday Express!", Batman races against time to stop the Black Spider from detonating a bomb on an elevated train packed with passengers, including one drug dealer and countless innocents. Meanwhile, the Black Canary finds herself entangled with the Calculator, whose dangerous device links her sonic cry to a rising city-wide temperature. Written by Gerry Conway and illustrated by Ernie Chua with inks by Frank McLaughlin and letters by Ben Oda, the cover by Ernie Chua captures the tension of a city on the edge.
