    This is it – the finale so twisted, so shocking we can't even begin to give away details here! Be there for the extra-sized conclusion of the acclaimed run by Scott Snyder, Jock and Francesco Francavilla. DETECTIVE COMICS #881 is the issue everyone will be talking about. Believe it.

    The Perfect End to Snyder's Run 0

    Detective Comics #881 - The Face in the Glass by djotaku on August 10, 2011

    I've been anticipating this issue for 2 weeks and it does NOT disappoint!  Jock's art is PERFECT for this issue and the writing is great!  The monologue given by the villain is one of the best comic villain monologues I've ever read.  You get the perfect blend of intent, past, and craziness.  If this villain sticks around, he may end up giving Joker a run for his money for how creepy things can get.    The last few pages are not only a great ending to Scott's run, but a great ending to the serie...

    Dick and Jim race to take James down before he can do anything more drastic than he already has.   The Good 40 pages of JOCK and Francavilla?! Hells yes!!!! There's really nothing left to say about how amazing these guys are so I won't drag on here. These two guys were meant to draw Batman just as much as Snyder's meant to write him. Snyder scripts this issue and breaks up art duties to play to each of their immense individual strengths. Francavilla draws some of the most frightening and soul ch...
