The Batman books tend to be at their best when they're working with self-contained storylines that focus on a different aspect of the character. That's been especially true with the Rebirth era, where Batman was relaunched with grand, over-the-top superhero action and Detective Comics put the spotlight on the Batman Family operating as a team under Batwoman, and where Nightwing was specifically about distancing Dick Grayson from his mentor --- at least for a while. With that in mind, it was pretty easy to worry that "Night of the Monster Men," a six-part crossover that ran through all three books, would derail that focus. Instead, it shored everything up, tying those ideas together in a way that strengthened all of it, and managed to pull off one of the best revitalizations for a villain that I've seen in a long time.

As much self-proclaimed hipster-themed art as we see around these parts, it's sometimes easy to overlook when artists convey the team as simply hip. Artist Andy MacDonald delivers in this regard, with an art series that dons the X-Men in contemporary, costume-inspired fashions that don't overdo things and look unironically awesome...
