Fills in Dead Parents square on the DC Comic Book Bingo card (then again, what DC character wouldn't fill in this square, lol). Color me unimpressed with Frank Miller and his interpretation of Batman. This was a DC comic for non-DC readers; there was no real humor or brightness to act as a counter...
Batman has always been one of my favorite DC characters. Batman: Year One is the perfect book to read about the beginning of Batman's saga. The story and artwork is amazing. A great read for all Batman fans.
I'm quite conflicted about this: there's a lot going on, and yet it still seemed rather slow in parts. There's a lot of dual ideas at play here, like modern day life versus a traditional life, American mythology versus Native American mythology, good versus evil, the real you versus the mask you w...
While it was kinda nice to see a bit of Batman's first year as a crime-fighting superhero/vigilante, it inspired absolutely zero interest on my part. I have practically no investment in any of the characters, as they are written in this. Also, I think comics are simply not my medium. Sorry, Eris.

I first became acquainted with The Question by watching Justice League Unlimited, and I knew I wanted to experience more of him. I enjoyed the first graphic novel The Question, Vol. 1: Zen and Violence, and this one was good too, but not as good. I think the tone didn't work for me. In a word, sleaz...
Fun. This book was just a lot of fun. It felt very fast-paced, especially as compared to today's write for the trade mentality. Rarely did a story go more than one issue in a row. And as with the first volume, the really great part here was how well Power Man and Iron Fist work together as partners ...
