Julius Malone Comic Reviews

A touching work that deftly captures the myriad facets of love, from euphoria and bliss to frustration to, by issue's end, its inevitable evanescence. Batman Annual #2 is a heart-rending opus from King and Weeks that deserves its place in the upper echelon of Batman works.
