We've seen a number of talented artists tackle this relaunched Batman series already, but none seem to match writer Tom King's storytelling approach quite as well as Mikel Janin. Between the opening Rebirth one-shot and now this first chapter of "I Am Suicide," Janin and King are building a wonderfully surreal and cerebral take on the Dark Knight.
With Janin back on board, the series immediately returns to the more mind-bending approach of the Rebirth issue. Janin immediately establishes a gripping, emotionally charged tone. Whether it's the flashbacks to Bane's hellish childhood or the haunting depiction of Arkham Asylum, Janin really knows how to make an immediate and lasting impact. Also continuing the trend of the Rebirth issue, Janin shows an increased emphasis on creative page design. The opening pages cleverly simulate the effect of water rushing into and out of Bane's cell. The Arkham sequences create the sensation of descending into a hellish labyrinth. One scene in particular offers a terrific throwback to an iconic Batman story from years past. Janin is really firing on all cylinders here.
