“The Randori Stone Part One”

In "The Randori Stone Part One," a wrongfully imprisoned man gains terrifying abilities from a mysterious artifact and erupts from prison with a vengeance, targeting those who betrayed him. Written by Paul Bolles and illustrated by Mike Lilly, with inks by Sean Parsons and Dan Davis, colors by Jason Wright, and letters by Clem Robins, this gripping tale sees Batman forced to confront a man pushed beyond the edge—powered by the stone, driven by rage, and hunting justice in the only way he knows how. The cover, a stark and intense portrait by Tim Sale, captures the weight of fury and desperation.
