4. The Brave and the Mold
Batman # 23 (2017)
Look, I didn’t pick this one entirely for the pun title but if I had, I could defend it very easily.
But no. This is actually a one shot from the current Tom King Batman run, specifically collaborating with Mitch Gerads on this issue. The issue is a mystery, a Batman/Swamp-Thing team-up, and a story about morality and where we all draw our various lines. King’s Batman writing is excellent and Gerads’ art is supremely elegant and well crafted.
There’s a gorgeous double page spread that is just beautiful in every way a comic book can be. It’s divided up into chapters in a really neat way and to be honest, as much as I love King’s Batman as-is, I really wish he’d do more one shots. We’ve gotten a lot of two and three part stories lately which I very much love, but his one shots are unparalleled.
Also, this comic has Kite-Man in it, how dare anyone not appreciate that?
