Gotham City: Year One #4

In "Chapter Four" of Gotham City: Year One, the weight of tragedy presses hard on Slam as he’s framed for Helen Wayne’s death by both the police and Richard Wayne, enduring brutal consequences. After exacting his own justice, he’s unsettled by an unexpected visit from Constance Wayne—her presence hinting at deeper secrets beneath Gotham’s surface. Written by Tom King and brought to life by Phil Hester’s striking interior art, with Eric Gapstur’s inks, Jordie Bellaire’s colors, and Clayton Cowles’ lettering, this 2023 issue delivers a tense, character-driven chapter in a city still finding its footing. The cover, by Phil Hester and Eric Gapstur, captures the moment’s haunting stillness.
