Batman #12 led the stack, and Jorge Jimenez's art on Matt Fraction's script is the draw. Six of the world's deadliest killers have descended on Gotham, but the real hook is the arrival of Alfred's posthumous gift—a new ally the Bat-Family desperately needs as the Caped Crusader hunts a conspiracy that targets him. It's a setup that feels both immediate and historic. Below that, the Absolute Batman line kept its momentum with #23 and #21, where Snyder and Dragotta push the story to a climactic showdown and Scarecrow's terror reveals its final forms. Murder Drones also claimed the finale slot with #6, wrapping Uzi's fight against the Absolute Solver in Jo Mi-Gyeong's stunning art. This is a week where the big titles delivered exactly what they promised.
