Showcase '94 #3
"Madmen Across the Water" delivers a stark, haunting look at the aftermath of Arkham’s collapse, as surviving inmates are relocated to Blackgate Prison under strained conditions. Alan Grant’s grounded narrative, rendered with moody precision by Tim Sale and Jimmy Palmiotti, explores the fragile minds left in the wake of chaos, while Bernie Mireault’s subtle colors and Ken Bruzenak’s tight lettering deepen the atmosphere. Mike Mignola’s cover captures the grim tension with his signature style, making this a standout entry in the Showcase '94 series.
