Gotham Central #29

Gotham Central #29 brings Greg Rucka's gritty police procedural into unexpected territory with "Keystone Kops Part Two," hinting at a collision between Gotham's finest and the world of speedsters. Michael Lark's cover is a striking study in bold red and silhouette — a hulking, shadowy figure looms large in the foreground, backlit by the unmistakable Flash lightning-bolt emblem glowing in a stark white circle behind it. It's a genuinely unsettling image that captures the series' knack for making the superhero world feel genuinely threatening to the ordinary people who have to police it.
