Batman Incorporated, Volume 1: Demon Star by Frazer Irving, Andres Guinaldo, Grant Morrison, Chris Burnham
4.0
Batman: Incorporated vol 1 (New52) is really fun and well realized. It jumps all over the place but the basic idea is Batman came back from his time travel vacation to defeat John Hurt and become a bigger better Batman. He's franchising Batman as a symbol. Lot's of other stuff happened because it's very involved continuity wise and for some it's too much and I get it. Not for everyone. But every-time I come back to it, to Morrison's run as a whole I have a giant blast and it provides relief and excitement from these pages.
The meta commentary of Batman always coming back big and better is fun, makes it easier to read a second time, or in my case my fourth.
The art is by large mostly consistent this time which I always love because it doesn't make the action feel disjointed. The art is helmed by Chris Burnham and his style looks like a Manhatten projects and gives this semi cartoony pulp feel which works with where the story is being all hidden society as Talia takes on Batman.
Really this is a worthy part of Morrison's run, buckets of fun, and very clearly influenced by wacky silver age and bronze age comics.
4 stars.
