While I love Grant Morrison, his work tends to be rather overwhelming at times; here was a perfectly accessible series (in comic book terms at least) magnificently written by Snyder, and beautifully drawn by Jock and Francavilla. Their art styles might be quite different, but since they got to draw completely different stories (Jock focuses on the Dick Grayson Batman and Francavilla on James Gordon) it works like a great collaboration which is helped by...

Should be in the top Five., Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Batman: The Black Mirror (Hardcover) Scott Snyder is an amazing writer and his grasp of the Batman lore and mythos is pretty cool. I am a Batman fan. He is without question my favorite superhero. I especially like to read Batman when he is written well and the mythos of the character are seen as assets to the narrative as opposed to a liability. Given the long history of the character and his supporting cast, there are only a handful of writers who have been able to develop the core of who the character is. Snyder does no compromise that in his work. The Batman in Black Mirror is his adopted son and protege Richard 'Dick' Grayson who was the first Robin the Boy Wonder and later Nightwing. Nightwing: Year One (Batman) Grayson replaced the original Batman Bruce Wayne when he "died"...

This collection of issues of Detective Comics by Scott Snyder will be mentioned alongside other great stories of the caped crusader such as Year One, Hush and The Long Halloween. This fact is even more amazing when you realize Batman is not even Bruce Wayne but rather Dick Grayson, the first Boy Wonder (don't worry, that's not a spoiler). Snyder weaves not only a great tale about the Dark Knight but maybe the greatest story about Lt. Jim Gordon ever written (which i will not even begin to spoil for you). Snyder is able to all of this while turning the city of Gotham itself into its own character, serving as the antagonist to these two brave heroes who must overcome there own personal misfortunes all while protecting the city they swore to do so. I simply cannot overstate how much I loved this run and how sad I was to see Snyder taken off Detective Comics in DC's recent relaunch. If you tend to only pick up trade paperbacks... Read more |
