BONUS REVIEW by Luke Simkins
 Russell and the Allred’s are back with a fantastic follow-up to Superman Space Age. Similar to the previous series, Batman Dark Age re-tells Batman’s origin as if he started out in the 60s. As always, the Allred’s art is fantastic and perfectly encapsulates the pop-art feel of the era. Russell gives us a fresh take on the Dark Knight’s origin, making Bruce a delinquent who did not witness his parents’ death and instead stayed home from the fateful screening of The Mask of Zorro. Without an early sense of justice, a young Bruce Wayne rebels and uses his connections to bail himself out of trouble as his company is taken over by mysterious and malevolent forces. A great set-up, I’m very excited to see how this story further twists and turns into its own Batman mythos. I give it 9 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
