Superheroes for Hire reviewed Batman Annual #4 Mar 14, 2020
Absolute perfection for a Batman story, especially an annual. Art mostly by Jorge Fornes and Dave Stewart (a few just as excellent pages by Mike Norton and Stewart) is clearly the main attraction here. But this is Tom King's writing at its best also. There's a gimmick (again, this is an annual), but it has a narrative purpose, is fully fleshed out, and is highly satisfying. We get no plodding dial more

Fight like a girl indeed!
MINISERIES FINALE
This explosive miniseries climax is a high-octane magical battle of good versus evil, as the remaining Magic Order wizards make a last stand against Madame Albany and the forces of darkness. Family bonds are tested, blood is spilled, and black magic threatens life as we know it.

Love this series!

Beautiful art. Coipel kills it and Millar keeps the tension high.
Cordelia and Regan bargain with Madame Albany to preserve what's left of The Magic Order, while she sets out to slaughter their brother Gabriel. Meanwhile The Horologium, a monster let loose from the fourth dimension, is shredding time and destroying human lives.

Magic meets the mob in THE MAGIC ORDER, as five families of magicians-sworn to protect our world for generations-must battle an enemy who's picking them off one by one. By day, they live among us as our neighbors, friends, and co-work...

So much fun. While I do get that this is definitely not for everyone (I, for one, do not really enjoy reading about Batman fighting the Batman Who Laughs for the 18th time this year, but I'm respecting everyone's opinion). This was a nice throwback to the episodic Batman stories from Golden/Silver age, with Alfred delivering the narrative. The artwork really suited this story as well.

Batman Annual #4 is a collection of short stories - told by Alfred - that perfectly captures the everyday life of Batman. There is no dialogue between characters, only Alfred explaining what we see on paper. And what we see on paper is beautiful art by Jorge Fornes and Mike Norton that makes this issue even better.

What a wonderful amuse-bouche!
The art is spectacular! The story might have some hiccups, with horses on rooftops and Gotham missile defense systems. But I appreciate the writers whimsy and playfulness with the material and Fornes just takes the script and runs with it. Each page is a masterpiece!
Nothing half baked here! Seeing lots of reviews giving very low ratings. I tho more
