Batman: The Doom That Came To Gotham by Troy Nixey, Dennis Janke, Mike Mignola, Richard Pace, Bill Oakley, Dave Stewart
3.0
This book just felt messy to me. It features some of the classic Mignola imagery, with strange lizard me and Lovecraftian monsters.

Perhaps, this is due to my ignorance of some DC canon and characters, like Etrigan the Demon.
It did have fun little asides, like a polar expedition led by Oswald Cobblepot, and Harvey Dent being corrupted to become a portal for an elder god.
