Batman #608
Share:
The return of artist (and WildStorm Productions
founder) Jim Lee to regular comics, in collaboration with writer Jeph Loeb
(Batman: Dark Victory), is something to perk up the interest of just about any
modern Bat-fan… and with good reason. This celebrated duo kicks off their take
on the Dynamic Duo with this issue. It was the number one new comic for October,
it sold out almost immediately, and a second printing is on the
way.
Here’s a handful of reviews on the book so far:
This issue
shows off Lee’s formidable artistic skills, handling facial and pose expression
and variety of character designs with great detail. His imagination is vast when
it comes to portraying these DC icons and he spares no time for laziness. The
art is refreshing and original and it’s something we as comic book collectors
don’t see too often. The art transcends that of most books currently residing on
the shelves.

For a long time now,
Batman has been written more as a crime comic than a super-hero comic.
Enter Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee, who seem intent on taking Batman back to his
super-heroic roots, without losing the sophistication he has had over the past
couple of years.

Perhaps the biggest and
most highly anticipated DC Comics project debuts this month, with the incredible
Jeph Loeb and the ever amazing Jim Lee taking over the reins on Batman
for a year, and after reading this issue I find myself wishing it could last
forever. Few events live up to their hype. This one not only lives up to the
hype–it goes miles beyond it.
