Batman Incorporated #9 (2013)

Cover:

There’s nothing to say.  It speaks for itself.

Plot:

Damian is dead and… life goes on as it jumps all over the place.

Our Hero:

I’m sorry man, but I’m tapped out of emotion.  Can’t feel anything anymore for Damian.

Our Villains:

If only they were interesting…

Our Side Characters:

Oh yeah, the Knight died a while back.  I forgot how pointless that was.

Action:

Well of course he knows how to operate a tank.  Who doesn’t know that?

Dialogue:

Indeed he chose to be Robin, but trying to kill Tim.  Good times.

Art:

ARGH!!!  The art shifting!  IT BURNS!

Most Memorable Moment:

Jack Skellington’s face is rather popular among yellow spandex wearing girl groups I see.

Final Page:

I’m imagining he's shouting no in the voice of Darth Vader.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

Tons and tons of crap is happening and there appears to be no hope in sight. How will all of this end?

What We Do Take From This Comic:

This comic has the attention span of 5 year old girl after eating truck full of sugar.  FOCUS dammit!!

Yay or Nay?

NAY!!

Batman Incorporated #8 (2013)

Cover:

It’s just like the R.I.P. only far scratchier in its art.

Plot:

Batman is stuck in a James Bond trap, Nightwing and pals are being attacked by brainwashed kids, and Damian tries to stop the craziness going on.  Bad things  to follow…

Our Heroes:

That looked like it hurt.

Our Villain:

The Terminator, only with more talking.

Our Side Characters:

Hold to that MacGuffin little lady!  Don’t want to lose it.

Action:

Who doesn’t like a kid getting brutally slaughtered in their comics?  Stay classy Morrison!

Dialogue:

Damn, the only way to make what was coming even more painfully obvious and clichéd was if Damian said, “I only have two more days until retirement.”

Art:

I’m sorry; give me a moment to try to figure out this layout before I react to the kid getting impaled.

Most Memorable Moment:

Oh hey, he just got impaled.

Final Page:

My god are his eyes creeping me out.

What We Should Take from This Comic:

Well the war between Batman and Talia has hit harder than ever, killing their son.  This event will be always be remembered, overshadowing that other death a while ago.  What was his name again?

What We Do Take From This Comic:

Let’s start the clock, how long will it take for Damian be un-dead?

Yay or Nay?

I can’t decide.  It’s either a mmmmmeeeeeehhhhh or a simple nay.  You guys decide!
