Batman: The Night of the Owls

Who knew owls could be so dang creepy. Well, I guess a lot of people, but I never really thought of owls that way until this book.

Scott Snyder writes a great story. Bringing us into Bruce's past to pull the story tighter and making everything suspenseful and creepy. Revelations abound and no one is quite safe in their knowledge. He writes a slightly arrogant Batman, but then isn't that what he is. No one can do the job better than he can and he knows it. He needs no help from anyone, or at least that's what he tells himself. Yet without Alfred and the others he probably wouldn't still be alive. Speaking of Alfred, I really enjoyed the stuff with Jarvis and the letter he wrote to Alfred.

The art is clean and detailed. I'm not a huge fan of the shadowy panels that you see in a lot of comics. I want to see the details and be able to get more of the story from the art alone.

Monster Batman is the way too amazing. Thanks for that Mr. Capullo.
