Beautiful array of art, contributed by some of DC's finest. A pretentious ending that was barred down in controversy, but with some intrigue to characters like Bane, Psycho Pirate & Flashpoint Batman (!?). Impressive Jim Lee variant and fantastic splash pages by Frank Miller, Greg Capullo, Weeks, Fabok, Tim Sale, and a cute Tony s Daniel image. King's dichotomous prose is in full force and most of the writing is beautiful and compelling, revealing great moments throughout the issue. Staying optimistic for the next two years of King's run.
