Great Read!!

The story line is captivating and the fact that all of the characters you know and love are brought togther in such new and unique juxtapositions makes this worth recognition.

Gotham in ruins

This is the second volume of the No Man's Land story, where Gotham lies in ruins, cut off from the outside world, battled over by gangs (including the police), and Batman and his team fight for the good of Gotham. It's a gripping storyline.

great return

A great volume 2. But I must say that in some of the "chapters" I guess you would call them some of the art work is very cartoony-ish, I guess you could say. But then some of the art is very dark and gothic. The way most of us like it. The plot is very interesting and keeps you reading. I am still waiting for volume 3 and am hoping it is as good.

Batman in No Man's Land

For those who don't know, the No Man's Land titles are the adventures of Batman and his sidekicks in a Gotham City so devastated by an earthquake that it has been declared a federal disaster area. Among other things, this storyline introduced the new Batgirl and Harley Quinn into comic book continuity. This particular volume has Batman newly returned to the city and fighting several of his deadliest foes, including the Penguin, Black Mask, and Two Face. One of the most interesting stories is one in which Detective Montoya of the GCPD (now reduced to the level of a street gang) takes a day off and visits her family, only to find Two Face helping rebuild the community. In a story defying probability, his coin keeps landing good side up, causing Two Face to be ruled by the good side of his personality. There's some other good stuff in here as well, but there's definitely better Batman material available.

Batman at his Best

What exactly does it take to be a hero? Batman proves to you that it is not just bashing head and beating the bad guys. With Gotham City devastated by an earthquake and cut off from the United States, Batman must keep order in a city without and order. Many gangs occupy Gothom vying for supremacy. Even the G.C.P.D. has to fight block by block to keep it's territory. Batman also finds that he has a new ally to assist him in Gotham a new Batgirl. Great reading for one and all.
