Robin Rises: Alpha #1

Against a smoldering crimson sky, a hooded white-cloaked figure dominates Andy Kubert's cover — eyes blazing with fiery energy, twin katanas crossed at the shoulders, and a Batman symbol held at the chest — an image that crackles with menace and purpose. This New 52 one-shot from writer Peter J. Tomasi and artist Andy Kubert (inked by Jonathan Glapion and Andy Kubert, colored by Brad Anderson) carries the "Robin Rises" banner with genuine weight. Whether you're deep into the New 52 era or revisiting it, Alpha makes a bold visual promise that's hard to look away from.
