Normally I stay
away from Batman comics. They tend to be a little too depressing for me. Batman
isn’t my favorite comic hero either. This series was really interesting though
and I really liked the arcs we followed through the four volumes I read. The over
arching story is a little slow to start but each volume grew in my opinion.
Specifically the
third and fourth volumes, I am Bane and
The War of Jokes and Riddles were well developed. Like I mentioned I
don’t enjoy the really depressing Batman comics so I liked how these comics
walked the line between tortured and soul-sucking. That might sound like a bad
thing but I really liked where this story fell on that spectrum. Batman himself
is tortured, but the story is exciting and interesting.
The art style
wasn’t anything to write home about, but it wasn’t bad. I enjoyed these volumes
overall (Especially volume four. That one stood out.) and I’ll continue to
follow this series as it goes forward.
