Interesting storyline by Azzarello and Risso, the 100 Bullets duo. It is a very noir take of Batman --- the way he interacts with dames in this book reminded me of Sin City. Amazing artwork by Risso as usual.

Broken city has AMAZING narration and imagery, as well as gorgeous art. On that scale, it is at the very top of Batman works. Honestly, if you're not familiar with Batman stuff, this could even be a nice introduction to it. Not too long and not too complicated, not involving the entire gallery of Batman villains to confuse you (which so many people seem to think is a necessity to have in "beginners" Batman stories). The last 2 issues specifically I think were amazing, hitting close to home with narrative work that genuinely impressed me.
However, it's just. The same basic Batman story again. I feel like for the past 3 collections I've just been reading and rereading the same story. I AM BORED. Please just let Batman do anything else than have the same character evolution and inner dialogue every single time.

Es una buena historia del Batman detective. Tiene sus temas y propuestas interesantes, pero, por momentos, no conozco al personaje.

Not trying to be overly harsh but I just did not like this Batman book. The mix of characters felt messy. The dialogue and speech was down right dumb at times. The art was okay but I didn’t love it. The underlying mystery was alright I guess but it didn’t make up for the rest of the book.

Very much a return to the detective nature of Batman.

Gritty. Exactly what I expected from an Azzarello and Risso team-up.
