Gotham Central #4

This 2015 Urban Comics French edition collects the fourth volume of Gotham Central, one of the most thoughtfully grounded runs in Batman's world. The cover sets the mood perfectly — a brooding, shadowy Batman looms in the foreground, rendered in a moody palette of deep blues and blacks that feels more noir thriller than superhero spectacle. With Ed Brubaker, Greg Rucka, Judd Winick, and a talented roster of artists credited, this tome promises the same street-level tension and human drama that makes the series so compelling.
