Batman fans knew Grant Morrison was building towards something huge as he prepared to leave the Batman family. Rumors and speculation have been running wild. This week’s Batman Incorporated #8 includes a shocker that will haunt Bruce Wayne.
Batman Incorporated #1 Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham’s imagination scares the hell out of me. I think this issue could make me become a vegetarian. I had to get that out of my system first.
Bruce Wayne is under arrest at a funeral. Then we go back one month on a twisted bloody journey to see how Bruce got to this point. Along the way we meet Goatboy, Bat Cow, Mutants and horrific agents of Leviathan.
Morrison makes this issue move fast, feel packed with story, punch with wit and shocking moments. Burnham’s art is dynamic and innovative feeling. What Burnham delivers in facial expressions from Damian’s frustration to an amateur killer’s fear makes you feel, laugh and fear for them.
This is a MUST read. I may have to go to Morrisoncon just to bow to Morrison and Burnham for creating this book. Although I don’t think I could eat steak or burgers at all during that weekend. I’m afraid it would be Bat Cow.
Batman, Incorporated is back with a new number one! It’s part of the DC Comics The New 52: the Second Wave. Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham chronicle the Bat brand gone global. DC revealed this gorgeous variant by Frank Quitely, Morrison’s collaborator on New X-Men and Batman and Robin.
