Outsiders #3

DC Comics

Written by Jackson Lanzing and Collin Kelly

Art by Robert Carey

Colors by Valentina Taddeo

Letters by Tom Napolitano

The Rundown: Batwoman and Batwing find a multiversal door that takes them into the reality of a familiar face.

Drummer finds a series of mysterious numbers and decides to hand them over to Luke. When the team discovers that the numbers lead to a mystery door in the multiverse, Luke and Kate decide to enter and discover they are in the middle of a very dangerous place.

The pair emerge in the middle of a recreation of the mansion and quickly discover they are in the middle of a mental conclave of Batmen who do not take kindly to outsiders. To make matters worse, another dark Bat decides to use the meeting as a means of murdering every Batman he can find.

The Story: Lanzing and Kelly deliver another interesting and entertaining story. As much as investigating the mind of Batman has become cliché recently, this journey had some interesting moments and having an antagonist with a connection to the Bat Family being the villain of the issue is interesting as well. Although the character they chose gives me pause because he continues to be utilized badly.

The Art: Carey delivers some dark, disturbing and brilliant art throughout the issue. I really enjoyed the imagery and the character designs.
