This comic book is not for everyone. If, like me, you were a fan of Batman: TAS and its direct sequel, Batman Beyond, you’re in for a treat! However, if you’re just curious about the Beyond universe and this is your first venture into it, then you might not like this at all and confusion will mark your face.

It is a direct continuation of the show and Adam Beechen’s previous volume run on Batman Beyond. Therefore, if you haven’t had the time to read Batman Beyond: Hush and Batman Beyond pre-new-52, you should definetely read those as the payoff is greater! The real treat here, is Norm Breyfogles art: it is gorgeous and dynamic, wayyyy better than the previous BB artist! He chooses to draw the faces and the characters closer to the animated show that aired a decade ago, sending a love-letter to fans like me! Batman is tested by a shadowy figure who sends legions of Jokerz against him. The reveal at the end of the issue, is shock value as well as classic as hell but it works and I’m eager to know where Beechen’s going to lead us next!

But this ain’t all, for the price of 3.99$, you get two full issues worth of goodies! Following Batman Beyond, there’s a full issue of Justice League Beyond! This time, it’s co-written and drawn by Nguyen and Fridolfs! And man, does it look like the TV show! Characters, colors, action panels, everything! This time, Batman really feels the weight of being on the League as something bad happens in Gotham and the League calls for him to join them on more urgent matter: Micron, a member of the league, might have gone rogue!

All in all, I can certainly say I had more than my 4$ worth of comic book with this double-sized issue sporting two excellent Beyond universe tales!

For fans, this is bliss!
