Batman, Volume 4: Zero Year - Secret City by Marguerite Bennett, Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV
4.0
Coming off a fantastic set of stories (especially death in the family), I was worried about the direction they would go. Going with another retelling of the origin/early days was the right choice
+the two part opener are so different and wild is a great setup
+origins are always fun
++Alfred&Bruce disagreement
+empty question mark
++this story knows when to rely on heavy dialogue and then when to let the panels talk
-become a bat is a wee bit cheesy for me
+the speech
+nice ending to wrap up the current arc and looking to dive deep in the next
-/+super big style change for the last mini stories in the last issue. Seems a bit out of place and I’m not sure readers needed the extra explanation for what Bruce was doing, but maybe that’s just me
