“Rite of Passage Part One: Shadow on the Sun”

In "Rite of Passage Part One: Shadow on the Sun," Chuck Dixon and Tom Lyle deliver a tense, character-driven story as Robin faces his greatest challenge yet—defending Gotham alone while the Joker exploits a hidden vulnerability in the city's phone system. With the Batman away and the Joker's schemes unfolding in the shadows, Robin must rely on his wits and training to stop a digital threat that could bring the entire city to its knees. Travis Charest and Scott Hanna’s cover captures the moment of rising tension, perfectly framing the stakes of this pivotal chapter.
