Batman #621 Direct Edition

Writer Brian Azzarello and artist Eduardo Risso continue their acclaimed, gritty "Broken City" run in this issue. Batman navigates the dark underbelly of Gotham, hunting for Killer Croc in a beautifully noir-inflected detective story. Risso's sharp, shadow-heavy pencils perfectly capture the grim atmosphere of Azzarello's hard-boiled script. This is a crucial chapter in one of the twenty-first century's most stylized Dark Knight arcs.
