“Batman Reborn” continues with the reteaming of Grant Morrison and Frank Quitely (ALL-STAR SUPERMAN, WE3, New X-Men)! In a blazing Gotham City police department, the new Batman and Robin face the bizarre, fighting freakshow that is the Circus of Strange and find that they don’t make as good a team as Batman had hoped! Meanwhile, the mysterious Sasha escapes from Professor Pyg and vows vengeance on the people who killed her father.

BONUS REVIEW by Stephen A. Banas II
What can I even say? This book is masterful, phenomenal, exceptional, fantastical! Beyond hyperbole! I love it! From the second you dive into the first page, Frank Quitely’s art puts you at ease and just makes everything feel...correct. I’m a Grant Morrison disciple but if anyone else were illustrating some of the concepts Morrison is tossing out here they would probably come across as goofy, yet somehow Quitely makes them feel exciting and colorful and dangerous as the story blazes forward. It’s a thing of beauty. I can’t help but swoon over everything from cover to end and being rather sad that the next installment is a month away. With a book of this quality, that may as well be an eternity.
