Sensei is down. Deadman is heading toward Nanda Parbat. Can Ra's al Ghul be far behind? Secrets will be revealed and horrors tested, and the reader can search for Ra's al Ghul on the cover. He is there. The plot thickens.

While next issue promises a big reveal, it's been a little rocky along the way. Battle issues tend to be a bit of a snoozer and this one suffers from that.

If you ever see Neal Adams credited as anything more than an artist, don't even hesitate, just run. Run very far.
