Book Review: Good artwork - substandard plot
Summary: 4 Stars
This story takes up where "the Long Halloween" finished. TLH was one of my all time favourites and so I was very excited about this book. I have to say that I was a bit dissapointed. This book is a sequal in the very worst "hollywood" sense of the word. They have taken the seemingly complete story of TLH and streched it out to another book. It's basically more of the same, which is no bad thing, but just a little dissapointing. I wish they'd tried to come up with sometihng new.That said the book has many good points - the artwork is, of course, perfect. The entire book looks ... classy, with loads of nice touches (like the chapter headers etc...). The story line was not all bad either. The re-hashing of the Robin origin is dealt with very smoothly, if a bit briefly, but the scenes comparing Dick Grayson to a young Bruce Wayne are genius.
To sum up: this book is simply not as good as TLH but is still a quality title which fans will lap up. Not a must have, but certainly a good buy.
