At the time, this was billed as the "last" Ra's al Ghul story. Maybe that really was the intention at the time, but he's shown up a time or two since. The art doesn't really do anything for me, so let's put that aside right away. It's written by Greg Rucka, whose work in the Batverse is usually good...
More like a 4.5. Some of the art bugged the hell outta me, which is part of the reason for the deduction. I think Cry for Blood was a much stronger story than this. But the history geek in me loved the backstory so much. Full review later.
