TOO CLOSE TO HOME! Keep your friends close and your enemies closer. Batman has never particularly abided by that adage--at least, he didn't think he did. But now, as his latest case veers closer and closer into deeply personal territory for Bruce Wayne, he fears that he may have been unwittingly keeping an enemy very, very close. Tom Taylor and Mikel Janín's smash-hit run continues in this can't-miss issue!
