Description
Take a dive into Gotham’s murky depths with Detective Comics #878, the pulse-pounding conclusion to Scott Snyder and Jock’s “Hungry City” storyline. This issue brings Batman (Dick Grayson) face-to-face with the elusive and ruthless Tiger Shark, one of the most fearsome new villains introduced in Snyder’s modern era of Detective Comics.
When the investigation leads Batman onto the open sea, he finds himself trapped aboard a luxury yacht turned death trap — surrounded by corruption, deceit, and blood in the water. Jock’s haunting, minimalist cover art perfectly captures the noir-meets-horror tone that defines this run.
Snyder’s sharp detective writing and Jock’s striking, cinematic visuals make this issue a modern classic — an essential piece of the Black Mirror saga that helped redefine Batman storytelling for a new generation.
