The Beginning of the End - Batman Incorporated v2 #5 Annotations

Post date: Dec 19, 2012 9:28:45 PM

Featuring the long-awaited return of both Batman 666 and Doctor Hurt - and this could well be the last time that we see either - Batman Incorporate #5 really starts to bring some of the themes and plot points of Morrison's epic run towards a conclusion. And in the end it didn't really matter that #0 and #4 were published in the opposite order than originally intended; in fact it works out quite well.

The collected edition of Batman Incorporated v2 #1-12 and #0 was solicited this week, a sharp jolt to remind us all that there's only 7 issues left now before Morrison leaves Batman behind. Still hoping that DC will announce the book will continue with Chris Burnham as writer/artist after Grant leaves, but time seems to be rapidly running out. Would make an excellent Christmas present though wouldn't it?
