This series has been a real treat that any fan of the Dark Knight should enjoy.
The Batman's Grave gives us three terrific creators doing excellent work in service of this classic character.
Warren Ellis crafts a story that's stocked with twists and turns, great character beats and more than a few smiles along the way.
Almost every issue manages the difficult feat of standing along while at the same time building on a much bigger story.
Here we find Batman summoned to Arkham Asylum by Commissioner Gordon for mysterious purposes, and it's almost worth it for Batman's discussion with the Warden at Arkham.
The art is by Bryan Hitch with some inks by Kevin Nowlan, and it's tremendous, loaded with action and atmosphere.
I'm really enjoying this series - it's the best book from DC this year! (Well, so far.)
Grade: A
