This book was surprisingly enjoyable. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect from this story because the idea of the Dark Knight Detective forming his own team sounded a bit disconnected from the usual Batman characterization. Luckily though, the drama unfolded as each team member's character dynamics started to propel the story and plot forward. Unlike other superhero team books this one was firmly grounded in reality because the recruits were not super powered themselves but ordinary people with ... Read More

Judging from this title, DC is working hard to ruin the Batman character.
'Snow' is a very tired account of Batman vs. Mr. Freeze, with Seth Fisher artwork just a tad too similar to that of Geof Darrow (there is much to be said for originality...)
Batman seems unsure of himself in this book. He slouches a lot and, the artwork seems to indicate, suffering from from bad posture issues. He's also depicted artistically as being somewhat undeveloped and out of shape. I found this ... Read More

This story contains a good version of the origin of Mr.Freeze and an interesting attempt by Batman to put together a civilian team of helpers for his war on crime.

I read the original five issues of LOTDK and it was completely different from the Batman stories. Seth Fisher, who tragically comitted suicide after SNOW was published, did a wonderful job of capturing the Batman from a brand new point of view, and I love how both of the Caped Crusader's costume elements was blended(The Batman's classic 1982 blue-and-gray costume added with the "Year One" utility belt). The best part of the graphic novel was Victor Fries' delusional conversations with his late wife. ... Read More

I kind of looked at this one and thought 'this artwork is kind of childish and goofy; this is probably just a one trick pony based on unusual artwork'. Not so, this had a really good story, and the art really grew on me towards the end. With some of the batman graphic novels it gets so dark and noir-y that you can't even tell what's happening, its just swirls of red and black. Not this one...if you can't tell what's going on here, get a new hobby. So yea, kind of refreshing. Also, I liked the idea ... Read More
