Review! Batman and Robin #18 (DC)

COVER: Patrick Gleason. Great cover!

STORY: Peter J. Tomasi. This is a tricky one. Tomasi wrote the book, but the book has no dialogue. So
               we give him credit for the plot and the panel descriptions? Sure.

ART: Patrick Gleason. It is books like this that make comic books such a great medium. A silent issue,
          told only in pictures, and told incredibly. You can see the heartbreak and anger in Bruce, Alfred, and
          even the bat-dog Titus. True storytelling.

FINAL FILE: BUY,READ (or look at), BAG IT!...as much as I liked this issue I hope that this
                        death (if it sticks) has true repercussions for Bruce and his bat-universe. Like
                        "no more Robins" for one, or any kid vigilantes of any kind.

Great, moody, cover
