Reviews

[J.B. Mathias · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's like a new episode of Batman the Animated Series, which means it's great.

[Nikki in Niagara · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the last book printed in this series but obviously not the last comic to be issued as the book ends with a major doozy of a cliffhanger. Each of these books also end with a short story that ties into the main story and here we have Batman's backstory on the real Matches Malone. This was an excellent story. I really liked the focus on the crooks and crime, instead of super-powered villains. All 17 issues are still available as comics online and hopefully Capstone will continue the run for the library market.

Okay, that surprise ending got me. I'm all in.
