Comic Review: Batman Incorporated (2012), Volume 1: Demon Star

Batman Incorporated (2012), Volume 1: Demon Star

Batman Incorporated is written Grant Morrison (Batman, New X-men, JLA) with artwork by Chris Burham (The Armory War).

Demon Star begins after the end original Batman Incorporated (2010) series. Batman and Robin, Damian, must lead a fight against Talia Al Ghul who attempting to take over Gotham City with an army of Leviathan agents. To add to the escalating problem, Talia has placed a bounty on her son, Damian.

Unlike the original Batman Incorporated series that was set prior to the new 52 relaunch,  this new series does not focus on the group of “Batmen” Bruce has assembled but more on Batman and Robin. The Batman Incorporated team is more of  a side characters in this series.  Fans of Damian as Robin will definitely like this series as he is the main focal point of this series. This first story arc is excellent and definitely gets you hooked from the start and craving for more!

One other book you probably might want to read to bridge the gap between the first series and the second series is Batman Leviathan Strikes – One Shot.

This first volume of Batman Incorporated is available in both Softcover and Hardcover

Comic Review: Batman And Son

Batman And Son

A great series of Batman stories in their own right. They are made even better by what this sets up for the future of the Batman universe. This DC title is written by Grant Morrison (Animal Man, Action Comics) and illustrated by Andy Kubert (Doc Savage, Trinity).

Batman has been so busy fighting crime that he has been ignoring his public duties as Bruce Wayne. Bruce gets away from Gotham by attending a London Pop Art museum but it’s not long before something goes wrong. The gala is suddenly attacked by a swarm of man-bat soldiers and pretty soon, Batman is knocked unconscious. When he wakes up, Talia has quite the surprise for her former lover.

There are so many good things going on for this Batman collection. The 3 incarnations of Batman, the introduction of the son of Batman and a standalone Joker story. This single issue is considered one of the top ten Joker stories of all time. You will be blown away by the artwork. It’s truly amazing!  There are tons of reasons to get this comic, so pick one and enjoy.
