The big release of this week is “Batman” No. 676, which kicks off the “Batman R.I.P.” arc. Which, according to most interviews, doesn’t actually kill off Batman, but does something status-quo changing. Written by Grant Morrison, with art by Tony Daniel. The preview in “DC Universe Zero” made me very interested in checking this one out.
Full list and commentary after the break.
