Tom King is the hottest writer in the industry at the moment. Here's his take on Batman, one informed by the Silver Age. Recommended.

This came recommended, and I remember it being a sort of mashup of Bat-verse stuff and spy stuff. The storylines crossover incredibly well: it’s fun, slick, and it manages to have a sense of nostalgia despite the fact that it’s new. Dick Grayson is dead - or so the world believes. Since he’...

A very nice close to this series. It answers everything, keeps up the action, and it all ties together to a neat conclusion. I’d be interested in seeing what Batman did with all this information, but otherwise, everything was all wrapped up in a very satisfactory way. The relationship develop...

I'm sure that there will be repercussions: too much has been seeded not to spiral out into the wider world, both for Bruce Wayne and potentially for other DC heroes. Still, comics walk the fine line, wrapping up stories while hinting at what might come next. Even Vision - another King title - wr...

Let's just say I was like, 'wait, who's kissing Batman? Is that a euphemism for the violent heights of their battles?' Oh, wait, no, she's kissing Batman and that makes sense. Oops. I don't even care if King is laughing at me about this. Anyone who brings me Virginia Vision is allowed...

And again, I bemoan the constraints of crossovers: King was constrained, and wasn't allowed to tell his own stories. He does better when he's on his own, and both Vision and Batman make me think so: he's better off left alone to his own devices, able to manipulate the corner of the sandbox he's be...

Enjoyed this comic, I knew I always had a thing for Grayson, so I'm glad he has his own series.
