I'm not a noob when it comes to comics. I read my fair share of my favorites: Batman and X-Men when I was in grade school and high school. But then there is a decade or more when I didn't read comics at all. About 5 years ago or so, I started reading graphic novels. Which then came around full circle back to comics.
So here we are with the first comic I have purchased in a long time. And to be honest, I bought it because it's horror and because Nick Cutter has a story in it AND that story happens to be Batman.
Nick Cutter doing Batman and Joker? Uhhhhhhh.....*take my money*
This does not disappoint.
I loved all the artwork and all the stories. As with any comic there are always a few "huh?" moments. I mean, I hope that happens to other people too?
Like, I think with so many cooks in the kitchen on these stories a few things get lost in translation. This anthology has the plot writer, the horror authors doing the scripts, the illustrators and the colorist.
So, a lot of hands in each one and a few times, I read certain panels a few times and I was perplexed but overall, this is an amazing, worthwhile collection and I'm proud to have it on my horror shelves.
