David Hyde from DC Comics posted a preview of Detective Comics #873 over at The Source that I felt compelled to pass along.  Scott Snyder’s tenure on Detective Comics has been some of the best Batman I’ve read since Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee’s run in the early 2000’s.

It’s incredibly well written and gorgeously rendered and if you haven’t picked up his run starting with #871, you’re really missing out.

From the article:

Just how ambitious are the plans for DETECTIVE COMICS in 2011? Scott Snyder’s been kind enough to pull back the curtain, just a little, on the mysteries that will unfold:

“In just the first few months of the new year, we’ll be introducing you to a host of characters we’re very excited about. Some, like Sonya Zucco, daughter of Tony Zucco, the man who killed Dick’s parents, will be brand new. Others, like vicious gangster and pirate Tiger Shark are re-imaginings of colorful old foes. You’ll even see our own twisted take on the clown prince of crime! And of course, you’ll see a lot more of a character I’m very, very thrilled to write, – Commissioner Jim Gordon’s son, James Jr., who, after years away from Gotham, has recently returned with his own mysterious agenda – and who, if Barbara is to be believed, might just be one of the scariest sociopaths ever to walk the Gotham streets…”

And now onto these gorgeous pages…
