Victor & Nora: A Gotham Love Storyis lovely. Mr. Freeze has long been a tragic story and in the capable hands of Ms. Myracle, the tragedy drives home. If some reluctant teen needs something to read, hand him or her this book. If someone who has never read a comic before, but who is a sucker for a tragic love story, this one is for that person. The art is beautiful and the story telling is spot on. Nice work once again DC. Read Full Review

Overall, Victor and Nora: A Gotham Love Story lives up to its title. It's an effective, tragic, and romantic tale that manages to give Victor a lot of new layers and let Nora have her own narrative before her tragic end. It also deftly deals with some thorny issues like depression and suicide without coming across like an after-school special. I think this one could easily find its market among fans of other YA novels that deal with heavy topics. Read Full Review
Victor and Nora: A Gotham Love Story is frequently a pretty good comic. That makes its failings all the more frustrating. Mr. Freeze fans will dig it. For other folks, I'd suggest reading up on his history beforehand. Read Full Review
This is a touching story that has heart and a message, however, I do have a problem with the use of sex and sexuality especially when the characters are all minors. Overall, I liked it but the sex scene does take away from the heart of the story. Read Full Review
The art was decent enough, but the story dragged on and on without end, by page 50 I had checked out of this book. It was a long and boring book that turns the characters of Victor Fries and Nora out of an adult relationship and adds teenage awkwardness and melodrama. I'm not sure who this book is intended to appeal to really.
