Batman: Gotham by Gaslight by Brian Augustyn
3.0
I grew up hearing much about this book. I’m a big fan of Mignola’s art too. The story was an interesting take on a 19th century Batman. Nicely self contained and surprisingly upbeat considering it begins with Bruce and Jack the Ripper arriving in Gotham at the same time.
It would have been interesting to see more popular characters redesigned but Mignola is reserved here. Focusing more on Batman and on Bruce Wayne. The character art and gothic tone is definitely on display in a good way. Just feels like there was potential to do more here had the run continued beyond two issues. Worth reading though for fans of the Bat.
