Batman: Urban Legends Vol. 1 by Matthew Rosenberg, Chip Zdarsky

4.0

Quite a few of the reviews for this one discuss how it doesn't really seem to be connected to anything, but I'm weirdly okay with that. Both stories in this were interesting enough to hold attention, while also providing a pretty high amount of character development in a short period of time, on top of being genuinely just fun. I'm a sucker for anything with Red Hood in it lately, and this felt like it fits enough with what I've seen from the rest of the canon along with not necessarily rehashing every old plotline along with it. The story with the Grifter was also really cool, it's not someone I normally pick up so I wasn't sure what to expect, and was pleasantly surprised. I think my only complaint with this is the stories had no real connection to one another, unlike what the back of the book implies, but it isn't necessarily a problem in the grand scheme of things. Both are awesome, and I'm interested to see where the rest of this run goes.
