Batman Incorporated, Volume 1: Demon Star by Frazer Irving, Andres Guinaldo, Grant Morrison, Chris Burnham
4.0
Wow, I have to say this volume pulled out the stops right when they were needed. I thought everything was getting a little dull, with the exception of the great use of Talia Al Ghul here, and then you see that the stakes are even higher. Then, of course, we ended on a cliffhanger. Way to go Talia!
Batman has started up an international league of heroes. We meet a few of them here. I have encountered Knight and Squire before but the rest are new to me and that didn't mar my enjoyment of this volume. The story in the beginning does get a little bit rough to follow, I think I missed the significance of Matches Malone, but that doesn't kill the story. The main plot, even though this Leviathan organization just feels like a copy of Hydra from the Marvel universe, is engaging and rife with personal issues - as is par for the course with the Bat family but especially so considering Robin is Damien Wayne at this point.
I really need volume two at this point. Come on now, write faster.
