Detective Comics #840

"Detective Comics" #840 brings the true epilogue to "The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul" story arc. Titled "After the Resurrection" writer Paul Dini brings us a story that shows Batman's first post-resurrection meeting with Ra's Al Ghul in Gotham City. I didn't see the ending coming and was surprised at that Batman would go to such lengths to eliminate a threat. Dini lays out a decent script and keeps the pacing up through out the issue.

The new art team of Dustin Nguyen and Derek Fridolfs didn't really capture my attention. The art reminded me a little bit of "Gotham by Gaslight". The layouts were fine but the art really didn't jump off of the page.

This issue serves as a good epilogue to the let down of "The Resurrection of Ra's Al Ghul".
