albertico66's review against another edition

The first volume (I Am Gotham) just doesn't feel like a Batman book... more like a Batman-adjacent book... I also find David Finch's work to be a little bland. So glad to see Mikel Janin and Mitch Gerads took over the second volume (I Am Suicide). The plot of the second volume is also more enjoyable --- looking forward to further development of the Batman/Catwoman relationship.

I, unfortunately, was not a fan. I can see the potential, however, I can see the world in which these stories, I Am Gotham, Night of the Monster Men (won’t be talking about here, as I have a separate review of it for the full story), I Am Suicide, and Rooftops were really exciting, where I can’t wait to turn the next page, THAT feeling, but we don’t live in that world. Instead, the first 15 issues are a moshposh of a lot of ideas, and they’re all annoying.

I Am Gotham seemed a bit aimless and having two tie ins to a larger storyline not collected here are definitely not highlights, but I Am Suicide is good enough to save the book.

Can barely remember it. Was trying to get back into comics through the Comixology app. Had tried during the new 52 reboot (which I found terribly confusing, the series' were set in different time periods). I think the key (for us elders) is to pick one title, read the series, possibly reading a few others if your favourite character gets caught in a crossover, but trying to keep up with all the series at once, especially after the fact, made for an uncomfortable reading experience.
(Note: I'm a writer, so I suffer when I offer fewer than five stars. But these aren't ratings of quality, they're a subjective account of how much I liked the book: 5* = an unalloyed pleasure from start to finish, 4* = enjoyed it, 3* = readable but not thrilling, 2* = disappointing, and 1* = hated it.)
