Another week, another issue of Batman. Even though I haven’t read much of Grant Morrison’s run on Batman (and I’ve hated what I have read), I felt strangely compelled to choose Batman #682 as this week’s Book of Doom.

In the lead: Tarot and newcomer Charity O’Dare take a mindtrip through time. Turns out that Tarot is the one woman chosen in this generation to be connected to the Worldsoul, which is the living spirit of the Earth.
