Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated with sharp precision by Michael Lark, the issue establishes a grounded, police-procedural edge to Gotham’s chaos, with the city’s flames and secrets burning bright. The cover by Michael Lark and Steffino Guadiano captures the tension in a single, stark image of the city in turmoil.
