Batman Vol. 8: Cold Days by Tom King
5.0
'Batman, Volume : Cold Days' by Tom King with art by Lee Weeks, Tony S. Daniel, Matt Wagner and Mark Buckingham shows that Tom King is such a good writer for the current Batman book.
In the first story, 'Cold Days', Mr. Freeze is on trial for the murder of three women. Batman found the evidence and got a confession out of him. All but one of the jurors believe he is guilty. That juror is Bruce Wayne. His opinion is that after recent events, Batman may have gone too far.
In the second story, 'Beast of Burden', KGBeast targets someone close to Batman and we see to what lengths Batman will go to get his vengeance.
Both stories are good for their own reasons, but Cold Days was the one I loved. It asks a lot of interesting questions about those who protect us and our willingness to believe them. It's about a broken Batman who just wants to do the right thing.
The art varies, but I didn't mind any of it. The Matt Wagner art for the in-between story of Nightwing and Batman is the best. If Dick Grayson were written more like he is in these stories, I'd like him a lot more.
