Tristan Grey has mutated into a terrifying new version of Man-Bat, and it’s up to Batman and Maps to save him! But, when it turns out that Tristan is not the only person who has been infected by the Man-Bat serum, it will be Batman and Maps versus an army of leather-winged monsters! Also, Lois Lane falls deeper down the conspiracy rabbit hole, and Artemis continues her hunt! And lastly, Batman finds himself in a folk horror nightmare courtesy of Zac Thompson and Ashley Wood in a new Batman Black & White tale that has to be seen to be believed.

Okay. This issue had a lot going for it. I'm always happy to see Maps and Gotham Academy show back up and any issue in which I get *both* Bat Lash and Sgt. Rock is a damn good day. None of the stories in here are anything spectacular but none of them are bad either. All-in-all a very good effort.
