rashthedoctor's review against another edition
4.0
So I have read all the No-man's-land storyarc as single issues , that's a Whopping 80 issues and this is my review for the whole NML (no man's land) story arc .
Gotham was a dark place from the beginning but following an earthquake and a nefarious celebrity with a magical power of persuasion , Gotham is now declared a No-man's-land by the US govt . Meaning no one is allowed inside , no one is allowed outside of the city , the city is abandoned by US
What follows is criminals trying to conquer the NML and hence occupying sectors of the city , enter Batman who tries to restore order , but it's not the same as before , many don't believe in him , and many are willing to be under the rule of their criminal overlords for protection and resources like clean water and food .
The world created is fascinating with one medical camp with an overworked Dr Leslie Thompson and a Church with orphans the only regions in the whole city declared war free .
There's a lot of events involving almost all of rogue gallary of Batman , and at times it feels like a Modern day tale of warring kingdoms , and even the cops aren't spared they form their own faction that tries to conquer other areas.
Double crosses , bribery , hunger , it's all there . Admittedly one of the darkest books ever to come out , if you can swallow the dark , this comes out as a fantastic and entertaining book giving a peak into the psyche of people living in a world with law or order . And in between all that many Batman Adventure take place, One character's reputation takes a big hit - and a surprising character death .
I thoroughly enjoyed it , my only complains would be the art style and how in the end none of the heinous or criminal acts done by some characters are forgiven without any jury
