Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 1

Product Information

Anyhow the art is hit and miss, this omnibus has two other big stories interfering with the main storyline one of which has two tales about the ressurection of the grandfather of his son Damian. But this is Damien trained by the league and his insane mother, so he's vicious, a asshole, and beats the living shit out of Tim and even offends alfred. It should actually be in the post at the moment, but I don’t plan to review it until my Batman-ithon in July next year. Being raised in a tube and conditioned to be a near-perfect human has advantages and disadvantages, as we learn all too well with this character.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. There are also three epilogues showing the futures of Batman Beyond and Morrison’s own Batman One Million from his JLA storyline.Instead, the wonderful Scott Kolins fills in, but in a weird style that looks quite at odds with what came before.

Obviously Morrison wants to spin his own crazy yarn and doesn't bother with Bat's famous rogues, but rather creates a few new ones himself. The Haunting of Wayne Manor” is up next; the title refers to a similarly named story from back in the era of comics where they designed a shocking cover first and then wrote a story to go with it. It includes Batman and Son, The Black Glove and Batman RIP, as well as two Morrison-written issues of The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul (with the rest of the story arc tied together by Chris Burnham-penned and drawn recaps) and two issues that tie into Final Crisis (again, with only recaps of the event itself to get you more or less up to speed).It's a phenomenal concept that is done so well and really makes you think about what you read and engages you in the story. This title also includes two new story pages written and drawn by Chris Burnham that recap events from "The Resurrection of Ra's al Ghul. It's a gender-bending Mother of All Balls, as the queens are faced with a design challenge to turn a room full of menswear into runway-ready eleganza.
