Book Reviews of Batman and Son
Book Review: It starts out brilliantly...
Summary: 3 Stars
The story is pretty solid and has some genuine classic moments, but it's often ruined by Grant Morrison's style of writing. Ideas have never been his problem, but too often i find myself struggling to fathom out what is going on. It starts out brilliantly, until about half way through, you start to feel that Morrison's going to pull a fast one and go off on one of his (un)usual tangents. The ending is confusing and relates and resolves nothing.
I can relate to Morrison's more conceptual work and i think when he puts his mind to it, he can be one of the best straight up comic writers about. However, too often (for me) he veers off from the latter, almost as if he's embarrassed to be writing a comic, and things start to get a bit bizzare.
This is a case in point, readers who are used to his style will probaly find this very rewarding, those unaquainted will quite possibly find this difficult to read as it progresses. Oh, the artworks magnificent, and quite often saves it.
