Batman Vol. 6: Bride or Burglar by Tom King
4.0
As the wedding between Batman and Catwoman comes closer, it continues to become evident that two high-profile and extraordinary people will not be able to marry without navigating a bit of difficulty--from inter-dimensional battles to world-shaking threats much closer to home.
While not a perfect volume, King continues to deliver exciting and deeply personal stories as he delves into the lives of Bruce, Selina, and those around them. And, honestly, amidst the action and adventure, some of the strongest moments in this series have been the quietest ones--moments of hurting people trying to overcome their pain and find a little bit of hope and connection in a world that doesn't often go their way. The writing is strong, the art is excellent, and this series continues to be a pleasure to read.
