Cover art is sensational but has nothing to do with the stories inside. I did like a few of them more than the others. Enjoyed the concept overall.

The stories and art were good, but many of them just fell into OK territory. I think its due to having only one writer when multiple authors could've strengthen the plots of many, especially the final two lackluster stories.

-Superman: 4 Sinceramente bastante interesante, cuanto menos. Al menos el concepto de Kal El poder haber descontroladose de niño y convertirse en un monstruo peligroso. Miedo lo que es miedo, no me causó; pero me gustó el dibujo y que se sintiera como una película.
-Wonder W0oman: 3 La idea es atrayente, pero en si la historia no se sostiene, ¿para que mata a sus amigas? Lo del padre(astro?) lo entiendo, pero no tiene nada destacable o terrorífico.
-Harley Quinn: 4 El dibujo es horroroso, pero la historia si que es buena. No da miedo, pero a la altura del personaje.
-Batman: 4.25 Dibujo pasable, historia buena, quizás un toque de previsible.
-Justica League: 2.5 Meh.
-Arrow: 3 Dibujo muy fifties, pero la historia un poco meh.
-Two Faces: 2.5 Meh
-Shazam: 1 Dibujo feo, personaje desconocido y muermo de historia.
Algunas historias mejores que otras, pero nada que llame demasiado la atención.

I'm not a noob when it comes to comics. I read my fair share of my favorites: Batman and X-Men when I was in grade school and high school. But then there is a decade or more when I didn't read comics at all. About 5 years ago or so, I started reading graphic novels. Which then came around full circle back to comics.
So here we are with the first comic I have purchased in a long time. And to be honest, I bought it because it's horror and because Nick Cutter has a story in it AND that story happens to be Batman.
Nick Cutter doing Batman and Joker? Uhhhhhhh.....*take my money*
This does not disappoint.
I loved all the artwork and all the stories. As with any comic there are always a few "huh?" moments. I mean, I hope that happens to other people too?
Like, I think with so many cooks in the kitchen on these stories a few things get lost in translation. This anthology has the plot writer, the horror authors doing the scripts, the illustrators and the colorist.
So, a lot of hands in each one and a few times, I read certain panels a few times and I was perplexed but overall, this is an amazing, worthwhile collection and I'm proud to have it on my horror shelves.
