Poetic

+ Cleaver comic noir, eerie poetic mystery.

First founded in the 1920s following the death of his insane mother, Amadeus Arkham converted his late mother's house into a mental institution, knowing little that he had set in motion a chain of events of horrific consequence and bizarre circumstance. Years later, the asylum had become a living ...

Robin: Flying Solo (Robin)1 review
Chuck Dixon

DC Comics, 2000

Dixon's Writing Makes this Great

There was a period when nearly everything coming out of the Batcave was well-written, with amazing art, and solid continuity. This was largely due to the fact that Chuck Dixon was writing everything, making for a more cohesive Bat-Universe than when the books are written by committee. Of course, ...

Batman Saved

+ A Fascinating Saga

Believe the 5 star reviews, this is an incredible book. The artwork is some of the best. So many comics have expressionistic style drawings, this one is drawn the way, as Joe Queseda says in his introduction, that makes a comic a collectible. The story is very good; Azrael is an interesting ...
  
  











  



  
Batman: The Many Deaths of the Batman2 reviews

Byrne & Aparo - They Are Good!

The only other review for this book has it rated at two stars so I felt there was a bit of balance needed here. The Many Deaths of Batman was a three issue mini-series of Batman published in the late eighties. Written by John Byrne and drawn by Jim Aparo, clearly this is no average Batman story. ...

The Dark Virus RETURNS

+ Not as choppy as Contagion but still has its flaws

Ras Al Guhl plans to unless a deadly virus upon the world...and only Batman, Robin, Catwoman, and Nightwing can stop him! Awesome artwork and plot line.

A Decent End to a Great Series

+ Excellent Story

Part III, which details Bruce Wayne's comeback and his efforts to take the mantle of Batman back from a renegade John Paul Valley. Unfortunately, Part III picks up at issue Batman #506, which creates a sizable hole between parts II and III, especially since in the interim J.V.P. lets two men die, ...

Sorry, I have to nitpick...

+ A good storyline similar to "No Man's Land"

Well, first I have to start by saying that this is one of my favorite Batman storylines ever. I love the number of characters it brings together, including a few unexpected alliances. But maybe it's because I like it so much that I feel the need to do a little nitpicking. Okay, so here's this ...

By Far the Best Part of the Series

+ The Bat is Broken
+ Off to a good start

Like most triologies, the biggest character twists and best action sequences occur in Part II of Knightsend. The transition of John Paul Valley into the mantle of the Bat goes through a logical and compelling progression. Batman #500, the final volume in this book, was on of the first Batman comics ...

Chuck Dixon

DC Comics, 2000

Modern superheroes at their best!

+ Lot of transitions
+ Nice book

Nightwing is one of the best monthly books out there. This third volume collects some memorable stories, when Dixon and McDaniel were really hitting their stride. Dixon portrays Nightwing as the very definition of a hero, while McDaniel's artwork is both moody and frantic. While this wonderful ...

Batman: Birth of the Demon1 review
Dennis O'Neil

DC Comics, 1992

One of the greatest Batman stories of all.

Birth of the Demon is possibly the greatest Ra's Al Ghul story of all time, and certainly the best post-crisis tale featuring him. Batman has discovered a way to use Ley lines to find out where Ra's will have to dig his Lazarus Pits, which are responsible for his prolonged life. This leads to an ...

A Great Crime Story

People are making way too much out of this book's implication that Nightwing and Huntress "hook up." I bought this book because I like these characters, but was bracing myself for some tasteless love-tripe. The situation is barely in the book! Here it is: --------------------------------------- ...
