“City of Crime, Part 9: The Experiment”

Detective Comics #811 brings a genuinely unsettling cover from David Lapham — a monstrous, gaping maw filled with jagged teeth and a coiling green tentacle consumes the entire image, with Batman's white-eyed cowl barely visible beneath the horror engulfing him. It's a striking visual that sets a dark, creepy tone for "City of Crime, Part 9: The Experiment," the ongoing arc from writer David Lapham with interior art by Ramón Bachs and Nathan Massengill. If you've been following this run's descent into Gotham's darkest corners, this November 2005 issue looks like a fittingly grim next chapter.
