Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 3 (Batman Omnibus, 3)

This Omnibus collects everything of the Absolute edition, both content, bonus material, and remastered art. Plus it also collects the ‘Batman The Return #1’ special issue illustrated by David Finch, which bridged the gap in-between Morrison’s Batman & Robin series and Batman incorporated. If you haven’t already, you’re definitely going to want to pick up Batman by Grant Morrison volumes 1 & 2. Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 1 Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 2 I try my best to not go into heavy spoiler territory in my reviews, as I know there are folks new to this run. I will say that since Grant Morrison’s Batman run began, he has built up events that have come full circle in this final volume. Batman is investigating a Global Terrorist organization called Leviathan. They have been showing up just about everywhere, and infesting everything. Batman enlists the help of the Batmen of All Nations, and starts recruiting his own Army of Batmen around the world to combat Leviathan. If you’ve read Batman Incorporated in single issue form and collected trade as I have, you will have seen that towards the New52 portion of the run that there are pages that used fill-in artists. It was a bit jarring to be enjoying Chris Burnham’s unique style, then suddenly be reading pages illustrated by other artists. We were treated to Chris Burnham going back to draw all the pages, that he previously was unable to for the Absolute Edition. Thankfully this book includes all the redrawn Burham pages that were done for the Absolute. Chris Burham also redrew into the flashback scenes that referenced the 70’s Batman stories. When Batman Inc was published during the New 52, events from classic 70s Batman comics were made to show Batman wearing his New52 costume. Now they are redrawn with Batman as intended with the 70s Blue Cape and Cowl, and classic Yellow Oval as intended. Many fans were unsure if this Omnibus would also include Batman Inc issue #11 written by Chris Burham, as well as the Batman Incorporated Special written by guest writers. Rest assured they both are included within this book. This Omnibus has been printed in a beautiful Deluxe size. The binding, stitching and page quality all look solid and secure. The page color actually looks more vibrant than previous releases. The paper is a nice semi-gloss stock. Nice and easy on the eyes. Grant Morrison’s Batman run is my all-time favorite Batman story ever. This spanning saga has so many layers. It gets better with every re-read. I discover some hidden detail that I’d not noticed before. Revelations within this book actually change the way certain events from earlier portions of Morrison's Batman run are perceived. All I can say is, if you’re willing to invest the time in Grant Morrison’s Batman run, there’s a good chance that you’ll fall in love with it just as I have. You will find that you want to return and begin again, and enjoy many re-reads.

I was DELIGHTED when this came in the mail! Finally a shipper who shipped this right! The book came wrapped in bubble wrap, shrink wrap AND in a box! I have bought soooo many omnibuses over the years and they often come banged up and I have to send them back. However, this one is perfect! The price was excellent, quality top notch and shipping the best I ever received! Especially if you’re a collector, you want them in great condition!

These Omnibus is thick, good for collecting and wait for it to be on sale to grab it. Must add to Batman collection as Morrison story is good and so is the art in these.

A very fantastic book!!

A must if you gave the first 2 vol

Great book !! But not as good as first 2 omnibus!! I think grant was running out of ideas, artwork wasn’t as good as other books,

good

No problem with the item.

Epic conclusion to the Morrison saga. DC nearly scuppered this with the new 52 launch, but he got it home and the story stuck the landing. Excellent art throughout in particular by Chris Burnham. Still the best Batman run of this century.

The final chapter of Grant Morrison's epic, multi-year saga, Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 3, is a fittingly grandiose and emotional conclusion. It may be the most challenging volume of the three, but it is also the most rewarding, bringing together years of intricate plotting and character development into a stunning climax. The War for Batman’s Soul This omnibus primarily collects the Batman, Incorporated series, a concept that is vintage Morrison in its ambition and scope. With Bruce Wayne returned and back in the cowl, he makes a bold move: he reveals that he is the public benefactor of Batman and announces the creation of "Batman, Incorporated," a global network of Batmen and Batwomen designed to fight crime on a worldwide scale. This new direction is a logical extension of Morrison's central thesis—that Batman is an idea, not just a man—but it also sets the stage for the final, devastating conflict. The primary antagonist of this volume is Leviathan, a shadowy organization led by a figure from Batman's past. The war between Batman Inc. and Leviathan is a sprawling, high-stakes spy thriller that takes the Bat-family to exotic locales and pits them against a truly sinister new threat. This is where Morrison's encyclopedic knowledge of DC's history truly shines, as he pulls on threads from forgotten corners of the Bat-mythos and weaves them into a dense and satisfying tapestry. The Tragic Heart of the Story While the global-scale war is the plot's engine, the emotional core of this volume is the relationship between Bruce and his son, Damian. Morrison's journey with Damian Wayne is a masterclass in character redemption. The arrogant, violent child from Volume 1 has grown into a genuine hero, a worthy Robin to his father's Batman. This transformation makes the inevitable, gut-wrenching tragedy of this volume all the more impactful. The final act of this run is a powerful and heart-wrenching meditation on parenthood, sacrifice, and legacy, and it will leave you with a profound sense of catharsis. Art and Consistency As with the previous volumes, the art is a highlight, featuring work from artists like Chris Burnham and Yanick Paquette, who bring a distinct and often frenetic energy to the pages. The art style perfectly captures the high-octane, globe-trotting nature of the story. While the shifts in art style can take a moment to adjust to, they consistently serve the narrative, from the detailed action to the quiet, emotional moments. Final Verdict: A Magnificent Ending Batman by Grant Morrison Omnibus Vol. 3 is not just a conclusion to a series; it is the culmination of a decade-long vision. It's a run that asks big questions about who Batman is and what he represents, and it answers them in a way that is both intellectually stimulating and emotionally resonant. For those who have followed the journey from the beginning, this volume offers a magnificent and deeply moving finale. It solidifies Morrison’s place as one of the most important and influential Batman writers of all time. While the density of the narrative and its deep-cut references may not be for everyone, for the dedicated reader, this is a masterpiece of modern superhero comics. It is a run that changed the character forever, and this final volume is the beautiful, painful, and glorious end to that change.

En USA la etapa de Grant Morrison se recoge en 3 tomos omnibus, los dos primeros están recogidos en España en el mega tomo Batman RIP de ECC. Sin embargo la parte referente a este tercer omnibus con el cierre de Morrison no está agregada y es un poco lío encontrarla, para mí mucho mejor comprar este tercer ómnibus y leer el final de la etapa de Morrison donde se concluye Batman Incorporated, Leviathan, Damian Wayne, etc. Grandes historias a mi parecer, interesante el enfoque multi Batman, brutal el desarrollo del mundo de los Robin (no haré spoilers). Para mi, necesario para cerrar la etapa RIP. Llegó en perfectas condiciones para guardar en la biblioteca con las esquinas intactas.

Comprem sem medo. Volumes 2 e 3 vieram importados e chegaram totalmente conservados e bem embalados. Uma das runs mais únicas do Batman. Loucura que a Panini ainda não trouxe estas edições pro Brasil.

Todo bien, llegó en tiempo y forma, en perfecto estado.
