Unlike some people, I have no problem with crossovers per se. With the right talent, a work of epic length, scope, and quality can be produced and released in a relatively short period of time, which would not have been possible with the use of just one creative team. On the surface, the melding of a large group of writers and artists sounds like a recipe for failure, hence the saying "Too many cooks..." Certainly there are inherent problems that need to be overcome, but when this is accomplished, ... Read More

I'll preface this by saying that I haven't been reading much Batman other than the newest series by Frank Miller and Jim Lee (which, regardless of what comic sales say, has been an utter disappointment). After hearing such buzz about Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker's work on Batman, I thought I would go ahead and try some of it out. Unfortunately, this outing was a major disappointment. Maybe I should have started with the No Man's Land story-arc, but after this, I doubt that I'm going to even try that ... Read More

I read this story years ago and its impact hasn't diminished one bit since the night I first experienced it. One of the highest in a large field of outstanding Batman and Batman-related arcs DC has published over the years, "Batman: Officer Down" is a razor-tight and simmering-with-suspense arc that brought about lasting changes into the Gotham corner of the DC Universe. If you're a regular DC reader, you probably long since know which changes were and which weren't wrought by this event, but if ... Read More

There's a boat-load of writers and artists on this! Too many cooks in the kitchen usually turn out garbage when it comes to comics, but not this time. This is a solid story thoughout. The standout writers on this project are Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker. The artwork is all fine, but the stylistic shifts can be pretty jarring. It seems like the artists were more concerned with keeping things consistent in their own titles (this is a blending of several ongoing "Bat-family" titles) and not too concerned ... Read More

I'm not one that enjoys multi-title crossover story arcs, but this one demanded the attention. This was the best story arc for the Batman universe I had run across in over a year. The writer did an excellent job portraying the sheer gravity of how close Batman was to Commish Gordon and even better job keeping the story cohesive over the various Batman titles. This is truly a great classic drama of GCPD relation with Batman (and his family) worthy of a read.
