From the streets of Gotham to the far reaches of space, here's a look at the very best comic book covers of the week from across the industry!

Kingdom Come and Daredevil writer Mark Waid is ready to fight back against Comicsgate and one of the more visible faces of that hate group, as the writer turns to fans to help him win a lawsuit and mak a statement that the comic book industry won't back down against bullies and toxic behaviour.

The NERF Rival Apollo XV-700 is a solid piece of plastic fun, looks great on the mantle and you’ll have a heck of an advantage in competitive NERF battles once you learn to master it.

If you're a fan of Frank Miller’s Dark Knight series, then you’d probably like to have some memorabilia with which to honour the series. Merch that ain’t cheap, but trust me: It don’t shiv easy.

While a whole range of Overwatch-themed NERF guns are still on the way, the manufacturer of high velocity foam dart shooters is also looking at another franchise that has taken the world by storm. A franchise whose battle royale antics will soon extend from the digital world to the physical realm of a backyard: Fortnite.

The Joker makes his long-awaited return to Neo-Gotham, and no one is safe! Will he strike at Batman, Robin, Commissioner Barbara Gordon or the original Caped Crusader himself, Bruce Wayne? Decades after his last fight with the Dark Knight, the Clown Prince of Crime returns home to take his city back once and for all.

Welcome to the best comic book covers of the week, where we take a look at everything that’s absolutely fantastic about the world’s greatest form of instant advertising!

You look at Nightwing, and you don’t just see Batman’s protege. You see a hero who is better than the caped crusader, not in his physical abilities but in his healthy mental attitude and approach to life. Whereas Bruce Wayne’s alter-ego is fuelled by the pain and regret of his childhood, Dick Grayson has overcome that torment and established himself as a vigilante with a smile. Those days are over.
