Batman: Detective Comics, Volume 4: The Wrath by Joshua Williamson, John Layman, James Tynion IV

I have loved Layman's run on Detective Comics! His storytelling jumps back and forth between past and present, which is usually difficult for me to follow, but I found this time Layman made it quite easy to follow. Jason Fabok's artwork is also BRILLIANT. Layman has so far dived into a couple of new villains for the New 52, each of them with great depth and story. In this volume, the issues were all leading up to a new villain named "The Wrath". It was cool to see him operate in the shadows at the beginning, and then fully reveal himself toward the end. Overall, a great story, and I found a great storyteller and artist that I will follow in the future.

Good premise, half-baked execution. Good artwork and back-up story. Not bowled over, sadly. (This is more like 2.5*)

Layman continues to lead batman out of the darkness and into the light. Aditionally his gift for planting the seeds for the next story while finishing the last is Clairmontian in the best of ways.

Mostly focused on the Man-Bat, and various other lesser known villains. An okay read. This could have been much better.

Decent stories. Man-bat interspersed with Wrath. Man-bat has always been a bit of joke to me, but this one was actually pretty good. I do wish Wrath had a bigger part in it. It seemed like he didn't get much time in this one.
Art was obviously talented, but not my style. I like a slight bit of abstract/imperfection in my comics.
