“Half a Life Part Four”

In "Half a Life Part Four," Detective Montoya is taken hostage by Two-Face’s men during a prisoner transport, thrusting her into a dangerous game of chance. Meanwhile, Josie Mac begins her new role in the M.C.U., paired with Detective Allen, as she follows a trail of clues that point to Inspector Conway’s involvement in the scheme. Written by Greg Rucka and illustrated with sharp precision by Michael Lark—whose inks and colors heighten the tension—this issue deepens the mystery with a chilling sense of dread. The cover, also by Lark, captures the moment’s intensity with stark, deliberate lines.
