BONUS REVIEW by Jimmy PS Hayes


OK, Judd Winick, you’re back in my good graces….for now. Bringing along Ed Benes sure didn’t hurt either. I was really caught off guard at how much I liked this issue and how the smoothly the transition from old to new has gone-so far. A new, yet familiar, Batcave is established and life starts rolling on. All in all, a really solid comic that get’s you pretty interested in just where the Bat-Universe is going.

I give it 8 out of 10 Grahams
