Batman #8 Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo are still very much on fire as the Court of Owls attacks a weakened Bruce Wayne in Wayne Manor and the Batcave. The art is cinematic in scope, the tone pitch black with tinges of psychosis, as the scale of the Court's war on Gotham is revealed. Snyder writes the best internal monologue for Bruce since Miller and the most human Alfred for good measure. This is an intense, nigh horrific book, with Capullo and Jonathan Glapion's art beautifully balancing the fine line between superhero square jaw action and Vertigo-esque adult drama. The fluidity of Bruce's attack on the Talons as he races through the Manor is just beautiful. The backup drawn by Rafael Albuquerque surprisingly follows on directly from the main story, and allows time for the characters to reflect on what's happening to them, particularly Alfred. It's a brilliantly executed and still intense compromise by Snyder (& co-writer James Tynion IV). If you're not reading this book you ought to be. It's far and away the best comic book currently being published.
