What happens at the end of Fourth Wing?
Rebecca Yarros published Fourth Wing on 2 May 2023 — 512 pages, book one of a planned five, and the reason a generation of readers now knows what a signet is. The last 60 pages abandon the war college entirely.

Why is Alfred fat in Batman: Caped Crusader? He's not the only one redrawn — look closely at Catwoman and Batman too
