Solicitation and Preview

Review
I've said before tha Tomasi really hits it on the head when it came to the relationship between Damian and Bruce. But I've left something very important out of that equation - Gleason's art. Tomasi takes a step back from writing to give us an issue where the story is entirely conveyed through the pictures that Gleason puts together.

Nothing shows more about what that relationship meant than this entire issue. And that is something that all the creators on this book put together to show the readers.

Out of any of the Requiem issues that have come forward, this was the one to watch. Forget the main Batman book. Forget what will come in Batman Incorporated #9. This was the funeral of Damian Wayne.

Grades
Words: 10/10
Pictures: 10/10
General Feeling After Reading: Sad.
Buy Next Issue: Yes.
