Batman, Volume 10: Epilogue by Scott Snyder

3.0

As other reviewers have pointed out, the volume consists of the ending to Snyder's and Capullo's fantastic run, but also consists of some leftovers from the post-Flashpoint and pre-Rebirth era. The actual conclusion for the Snyder/Capullo run is a fantastic, quiet issue that is appropriately optimistic, and serves as a very loving letter to the power of character; it's very sentimental, and emotionally resonant, with Snyder and Capullo delivering some of their best work. Unfortunately, their contribution is only one issue long and would have been more appropriately placed at the end of volume 9. Worse, the removal of their epilogue weakens both volume 9 and 10 as it robs Vol 9 of its real ending, and volume 10 otherwise feels like it's nothing but padding for the real ending of the run. It's almost deceitful to have only Snyder and Capilli credited on the cover when there's a host of other writers and artists contributing to the contents of the book.

Fortunately, the other stories are generally good, with the story from Future's End being the stand out. The other artists also contribute some fantastic work but anyone hoping for a Capullo-dominant book will be disappointed.
