It was good, but not great. Batman's choices were out of character and motivations were light. That aside, the build-up to the breaking of the Bat was well handled, though it is strange ultimately how poorly Bane comes off. He is good tactician, but mostly reacts after the Arkham breakout. He beats Batman when Bruce can barely stand, barely beats Azrael the first confrontation and is soundly defeated after that. A classic, definitive storyline, but that doesn't mean it is a great story. The best it gets, though.

Good stories and action, generally good dialog. Solid art throughout. I suppose it's not surprising that some of the individual issues were better than others. At their best they were some of the best Batman comics I've read. There are a few pages of extras in the back like character designs and variant covers, but there's less of this extra material than I've seen in other "omnibus" collections. It's a nice hardcover book with a flexible spine that lets the pages open fully so you can see all the art.

I still love this story as much as I did when it was originally coming out. I think the Knightfall Saga is the only big 90s comic event that still holds up today.
