Batman Annual #1 is one of those comics that sells itself on the strength of its ensemble cast. Where else can you buy a comic that features such an an impressive lineup of classic Batman creators and current favorites? None of the stories within are necessarily career-defining work, but the overall package offers a fun look at how the Batman family celebrate the holidays.
This issue opens with a new story from current Batman writer Tom King and rotating artist David Finch. The story essentially serves as a new origin story for Ace the Bat-hound, tracing the poor pup's journey from rejected Joker experiment to valued member of the Wayne household. Basically, if you've enjoyed Grant Morrison and Pete Tomasi's work with the Bat-pet menagerie, you'll be right at home here. King's script makes for a lighthearted alternative to his darker work on the main series, and one that's suitably heartwarming. It's not a story that caters especially well to Finch's storytelling strengths, but Finch is still able to convey the warm emotion of King's script.
