5.0

This might be one of the best comic book I ever read. Original, unique, very deep. Lot of guest art in it too so it's make it special in the artwork perspective. But it's definitely the story, the writing that have got into me. Sometimes I read stuff that seem to make sense the exact day I've read them, because of something I didn't know the day before and I wouldn't have got it all if read previously, or because of a particular state of mind I'm. This comic book was one of those. I don't usually cry often, and even less while reading (I remember crying at the end of Shutter Island, and I think I cry while reading Les misérables, but that's it), but today I cry reading a Batman comic... maybe I just get soft aging... but it's have been hell of a day for me today and this one just got me emotional. All that to say that it's a more emotional comic, no action here, but a very beautiful homage to those two characters.

I let you with a quotes (I know I never do that, but there's a first for everything)... Bruce ask Alfred if he can be happy, and there what Alfred answer: «After all you've done. All you've endured, suffered. To go on another day... Don't you have to be?»

I just find this so beautifully written!!
