It is without a doubt in anyone’s mind that one of the most highly anticipated issues of the entire year is the final issue to Grant Morrison’s grand Batman epic, “Batman Incorporated” #13 with Chris Burnham. Bringing together over a half-decade’s worth of storytelling to a final and assumedly bombastic finale, its the kind of issue that could potentially make or break an entire run as threads come to a close and an emotional impact is desired by the audience.
But, it’s Morrison and Burnham, who have been on fire for 12 issues so far. I doubt anything would change now.
Today, DC has provided an earlier and special preview of the finale, featuring what one might assume are light-spoilers. The title of the post gives you nothing new, but if you like to go into this sort of thing with your mind completely uninhibited of expectations, now is the time to look away.
If you’re too excited to even think of looking away, take a look below for some line-art by Burnham from the final issue, showing three separate and connected sequences:
