Book Reviews of Batman: Year One
Book Review: Wanted to read it again right after I finished it
Summary: 5 Stars
Text book definition of a perfect Batman comic. The art really complements the feel Frank Miller creates with his writing. Draws you in right from the start and doesnt let you go. It is as much a Jim Gordon story as it is a Bruce Wayne/Batman story but that is in no way a bad thing. Both stories intermix and become an incredible reading experience. The only negative comment is that it is only 4 comics and leaves you wanting more. But it is very well crafted and wanting more is no problem because I plan on reading it over and over again. An amazing read especially for the low Amazon.com price.Summary: 5 Stars
Book Review: a classic
Summary: 5 Stars
When you think of the greatest comic book writers out there, you invariably end up with Frank Miller (usually the first or second you mention). And Batman is the greatest comic book character. And nobody does Batman like Frank Miller does. Book Review: incredible
Summary: 5 Stars
this is the best comic book i have ever read. it is far more than just a super hero story, but an in-depth crime drama. this book reminds me more of the movie Serpico or other crooked cop stories. james gordon in this is in my top 5 characters of any story, comic, book, or movie. just great.Book Review: Batman: Year One
Summary: 5 Stars
Even though Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" is the more widely-acclaimed classic, "Batman: Year One" is my preferred favorite. I consider Miller's TDKR a major classic and enjoy it, and I feel the same way about "Year One:" It's a classic.
"Year One" is my favorite origin story next to "Batman Begins." The tone is perfect, the writing is strong and memorable, and Mr. Mazzucchelli's artwork is fantastic and atmospheric.
One of my favorite aspects of this epic is the dynamic of the relationships between Batman and then-Lieutenant Jim Gordon, and Batman and the entire G.C.P.D. Batman/Gordon learning to trust each other, and Batman/G.C.P.D. trying to stay one step ahead of each other. It's the stuff of legends.
This is Batman, ladies and gentlemen. Who he is, and how he came to be.
Highest possible recommendation.

I have to say that this is amazing. Frank Miller does an awesome job of portraying batman/bruce's fears and faults within the first year and the artwork really pops. not to flashy or colourful, but not dull and neutral either. A most enjoyable read
