In "City of Crime, Part 6: A City, Not My Own," Alfred is summoned to duty by his country's secret service, pulling him into a shadow war that tests his loyalty and skill. With the city gripped by a rising tide of disappearances and a relentless wave of faceless enforcers hunting Batman, the stakes have never felt more personal. Written by Scott Beatty and illustrated by Jeff Parker, with a cover by David Lapham, this issue deepens the mystery with quiet tension and escalating dread.
