Issue Number: 2024 Annual
Title: The Most Dangerous Road Trip
Writer(s): Joshua Williamson

Bruce and Damian go on a road trip for some camping and bonding time, and of course end up having to fight off a group of hunters set on killing them to win a pot set by the villainess Roulette.

I thought the story was fun. Maybe not the deepest of content or message, but there were moments I enjoyed, specifically a few that really showed how alike Bruce and Damian are.



Porter’s lineart has a very scribble-y quality to it, like he was working with a ball-point pen, which I thought worked well with Beredo’s moody, earth toned colors. The characters had very subtle expressions, if they had expressions at all, and most of the tone of a scene was imparted instead by the panel layouts and the spoken dialogue.
