Requiem For Damian., by Patrick Gleason, Marlo Alquiza, Mick Gray, Peter J. Tomasi, Mark Irwin, Cliff Richards, John Kalisz
5.0
This one was so emotional and good.
It starts off with the Requiem for Damian after his death in Batman Inc from the heretic hands and then we see Bruce reeling from that and that silent issue is hands down one of the best and then team up issues with different Robins and also showing five stages of grief like how he experiments with Frankenstein to resurrect his son or the one with Jason ad that anger-filled issue is so good and raw and emotional or the one with Barbara where she is trying to handle him but he lashes out at her and yeah some real emotional stuff and well the best being in the end with Dick and seeing Alfred and how he deals with it, this volume kinda grounds Batman and shows his humanity and what it feels like to lose a son.
Its very deep and emotional and some instances can feel like Bruce being an a-hole but its a father dealing with the loss of his world and Tomasi and Gleason excel at it and I love it, Tomasi knows how to go deep into these characters and give them that humanity which makes them so much more relatable and I love his writing for it! Plus the art by Gleason is some of the best ever and one of my top 5 Batman books for sure.
