![]() ![]() ![]() Let's look, for the first time, as a whole, at Grant Morrison's run on Batman, and talk about the Hole in Things. So let's look back on the past seven years of headshots, time travel, evil gods, lapdancing pigs, father-son bonding, heartbreak, good art, bad art and, above all, mystery. I've been following this run since it started, and there's a solid argument to be made that this particular run, this particular story, has been the bedrock of my entire comics journalism career. It's a heartfully written, beautifully drawn true creative collaboration between three of the best talents in comics, and can probably be best described as a frustrated and slightly resigned labor of love. It closes not just one loop, but a number of loops, between the present and various points in the past - the beginning of this volume, the beginning of Morrison's run and, indeed, to the very beginning of the character, way back in Detective Comics #27 in 1939. It brings everything to a definitive close that leads to both the character's new era in the New 52 and to the core of the Batman myth itself. This week, Batman Incorporated #13, by Grant Morrison, Chris Burnham and Nathan Fairbairn, wraps up Morrison's seven-year tenure on the character. ![]()
