Batman #634 is a stand-alone issue that serves as an epilogue to War Games. Writer Andersen Gabrych (at least I think he is the writer, the cover and the title page disagree about the creators on this issue) has written a reflective tale in which Batman and friends take a little time to ponder about recent events. People have died. Both Batman and Nightwing are carrying responsibility for those deaths. This book takes a look at how both men handle that responsibility.
In this issue, Batman also has to learn how to live with a new status quo. He has become an outlaw in Gotham City, with the police ordered to shoot him on sight. It isn't much of a spoiler to say that Bats isn't about to let that slow him down, but it does present some new challenges for the Dark Knight, and gives him another reason to take a hard look at his part in the War Games.
If you read War Games you absolutely shouldn't miss this issue. If you didn't follow War Games this issue stands just fine on its own and gives you a glimpse into what makes Batman BE Batman. (Of course, it would be even better if Bats drank enough bourbon to go on a Tony Stark style bender, but you can't have everything.) So check out Batman #634, it is guaranteed this week at Four Color Fantasies! (Bourbon not included.)
