Legends of the Dark Knight #25

The "Flyer" arc reaches its midpoint with Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #25, featuring a cover by Gil Kane that's as striking as anything from 1991's Bat-titles. Batman is shown cradling an unconscious figure atop a massive, grotesque disembodied head — glowing green eyes, jagged teeth, draped in heavy chains — a haunting image that sets a genuinely unsettling tone. With Howard Chaykin and Gil Kane collaborating on the story and Kane handling the art, this three-part mystery promises the kind of atmospheric, noir-tinged storytelling that made Legends of the Dark Knight stand apart from the rest of the line.
