Ra’s al Ghul has come for Gotham! When Bruce’s former mentor becomes his greatest enemy, he is forced to recruit some of the unlikeliest allies out there… the Rogues Gallery! Will their team-up be enough to save this city on the brink of destruction?
In some ways, this Batman is familiar, but in others he's almost a completely different character one raised in a different environment, and given a different trial of fire. This is going to be a masterpiece alongside its sister book. Read Full Review
Batman: Dark Age #5continues to fire on all cylinders as Russell and Allred tell of Bruce and Ra's have their final confrontation for the soul of Gotham, while revealing that larger problems are on the horizon are more on the multiversal level. Read Full Review
Batman: The Dark Age has gone from strength to strength with each issue, to the point where I didn't even mind when the Pariah subplot crept back into the story. Its only real flaw is that the story did not pace itself well in its previous issues, but I am unwilling to blame this issue for it. Delivering some shocking deaths, shocking team-ups, shocking backstory changes, and, of course, a shocking cliffhanger, this series continues to be a pleasant shock to the system. Read Full Review
Masterfully builds on the momentum of the series, bringing the story to a fever pitch as Bruce Wayne faces his most desperate hour. Mark Russell and Michael Allred's retelling of the Batman mythos continues to impress with its rich narrative and stunning artwork. Read Full Review
Robin is cracking me up.
Really enjoying this. My only complaint is Allred's art. I've never been a fan. His faces and figures are alright, the scenery is solid. But he draws people like bad action figure poses, action figures without enough points of articulation. It detracts from the reading experience for me. But nevertheless, it's a really good book. Enjoying the story.
