Batman: The Cult by Jim Starlin

5.0

This was such a shock. First off I gotta say, Jim Starlin's story telling in this book was out of this world. I didn't know this man could do something so dark and twisted as this. Combine that with Bernie Wrightson's artwork and you got yourself a real Batman horror story. The plot seems simple; Batman vs a cult. However we start with Batman being captured and tortured by the cult.Being broken down by the leader, Deacon Blackfire. The Dark Knight is broken and has to gather himself together as we see terrifying scenes from Gothams eruption. This to me has to be the most underrated Batman story and personally one of favs. It felt like Starlin was writing ahead of his time and Wrightson's artwork was such a beautiful horror to gaze at.
