Rated 5 starsA Morrison twist on a classic theme stays powerful until the threads unwind for the final act
It's not uncommon for some of the greatest "comic book" fiction to feature an amazing and surprising build up for the first 2/3rds of the story arc, and then to completely unravel down the stretch for the sake of wrapping up plots. We've seen this in the All Star Superman, 52, the various Crisis books, Dark Knight Strikes Back etc... This story explores themes of what Gothic really means (no it's not about "me too" piercings...

Rated 5 starsYikes!

Batman is still at the beginning of his crime fighting career, still coming into...

Rated 5 starsA Really Good Batman Story
This is a tradepaperback of issues that appeared in Legends of the Dark Knight. Someone is killing mobsters in particularly inventive and vicious ways. It turns out that all of them were involved in a killing many years ago and their victim is back to claim revenge. However, that revenge is just a digression of a plot that stretches back to an Austrian monastery at the time of the Black Death. Batman has to solve this mystery...
