Batman Beyond: Industrial Revolution by Dustin Nguyen, Adam Beechen, Darwyn Cooke
5.0
Blight Returns!
So, I read this a little bit out of order (I read 10,000 Clowns first; oops), but it was still a great book. I'm a little disappointed that there's no resolution to the Grayson plotline and none for the foreseeable future, but I was overjoyed with the Blight story. I was always disappointed that the TV show left it so open-ended but then never had Blight come back for revenge; talk about a waste of a great villain! But here he comes with a sense of entitlement worthy of a toddler or a 1%er and the radioactive powers to make that mentality more dangerous than it otherwise would be. I also liked the little origin short for Inque; we never do get an origin for her in the show and it's good to see it expanded upon here.
