Lightning In a Bottle, Part Two: Origins.

The artwork is, again, fantastic. Lashley owns my soul right now for getting everyone so damned right-looking. I really adore the way Bart looks in every single panel, no matter what age or uniform, he looks like the Bart we're starting to get to know.

This series is going to rock. I can feel it.

And now, for the spoilery parts of this squeefest )

Just, holy crap. I have to make note of this.

The last storyline was all about Mr. Freeze and his wife's actions just before her death; turns out Thomas Wayne was her doctor near the end. Huh.

This one's totally different. The art is amazing. Some scans here. They're crappy, but the best I could come up with on the spot. Some people don't like the art, but I do. It's just so damn expressive, even for characters who don't smile at all the entire time. It's also very atmospheric in a way fitting to the tone of the story.

But like... it's comics Bruce Wayne falling in love. Not like infatuation with Catwoman love, but real, soul-warming gives-more-meaning-to-life love. I was almost shocked.

He's brooding and reflective. And enchanted. I can't wait to see how the story plays out, despite being dark; her sister, about to be married, has been kidnapped, and Batman is on the case with a vengeance.
