Batman #7 by Steve Orlando, Tom King, Riley Rossmo, Ivan Plascencia, Yanick Paquette, Nathan Fairbairn
5.0
Absolutely fantastic!
Guest writer Steve Orlando's start to the monster men saga was entertaining,high stakes , action packed and over all simply too much fun specially considering how ridiculous the whole plot sounded
Batman in probably one of the most feasible and close to reality hero , The scenarios and characters of Batman are mostly possible in real life and yet countless times we have seen over the top , absurd ideas been brought into the Batman comics.so the announcement of Batman fighting Kaijus on streets of Gotham was associated with huge number of eye rolling from me and yet to my surprise the story was handled very Well
The story despite being so larger than life never felt absurd which speaks volume to Steve Orlando's skill as a author. Sure Tom King is also a co author but his run at Batman comics so far has been very disappointing and this felt very different to what we have seen from Kings work hence I am bound to give most of the credit to Orlando
The art also was very stunning ,Riley Rossmo does fantastic work as a guest illustrator and the art looks very close to the All star Batman art and very refreshing from the usual Batman art
The only drawback of the book would be for those who aren't updated on the Batman mythos ergo readers who are unaware of the events of Nightwing or Detective comics maybe left confused
Apart from that the Part 1 of Night of Monster Men , exceeded all my expectations and truly became the best issue of Batman title since the Rebirth era started , here's hoping it doesn't disappoint in future
