I Am Batman #2
In "Empire State of Mind Part 1," Jace finds himself drawn into a high-stakes investigation after a billionaire philanthropist's brutal murder shakes Gotham’s elite—initially reluctant, he’s pulled in by the victim’s troubling legacy. As the city’s leadership questions the new Bat task force, Jace must navigate shifting alliances and hidden motives in a case that tests his resolve. Written by John Ridley and illustrated by Christian Duce, with colors by Rex Lokus and letters by ALW's Troy Peteri, the issue’s bold, atmospheric art is matched by Olivier Coipel’s striking cover.
