Batman Incorporated #9 (2012)

Was that a re-designed Batman of Japan talking up Lord Death Man? Welcome back BoJ! Morrison delivers a deliciously meaty issue this month, complimented by kinetic and expressive work from Burnham. These two are truly in a class of their own right now. The Batman Inc. train steams forward into vengeance territory, as the cavalry forms for a counter-attack. Leviathan is a formidable foe and I cannot wait to see where this climax is heading. The concluding pieces of dialogue in this comic are devastating, as is the interweaving of a most desolate funeral.
