Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham by Troy Nixey, Dennis Janke, Mike Mignola, Richard Pace, Bill Oakley, Dave Stewart

2.0

Mignola takes on Gotham! It's set in old-timey times! There are pirate-y looking ships! This should have been a slam-dunk for me, but...idk, maybe it was the art (not bad by any means, and great at atmospheric stuff and the creepy-crawlies, but the faces felt a little knock-off Paul Pope to me, and there's always a slight awkwardness of Mignolaverse artists kind of copying his style to fit into the general "look"). Maybe I was just in a bad mood when I read this? But I was kind of super bored by the last...80% of this book. And when people are being taken over by plants/lizards/weird fire monsters (spoilers I guess but this happens on like every other page, so), that should probably not be the case.

Edited to add: just noticed Mignola is only a co-writer on this, and I wonder if maybe he sort of sketched out an outline for the story and Pace filled in the dialogue/specific story beats?
