IT'S A GORY GOTHAM HORROR STORY WITH GLOW-IN-THE-DARK COVERS! An ancient and supernatural force stalks the streets of Gotham City--a Lycan so powerful it'll defy Batman's most trusted resources: his brilliant mind and extensive gadgetry. But are Batman's physical strength and resilience alone enough to put the creature down for good? Or will this fight strip him down to his very bones? Even powerful magical allies like Zatanna caution that Bruce might not walk away from this one unscathed... Eisner-nominated writer Rodney Barnes (Killadelphia) and breakout artist Stevan Subic (The Riddler: Year One) tear into a horrific tale of pain and redem more
This first issue builds the tension expertly, before abruptly switching gears and ending with a grim twist that sets the stakes sky-high for the next issue. Read Full Review
Batman: Full Moon is an utterly macabre and darkly supernatural series, apparent immediately. From Subic's moody and disturbing art to Barnes' smart choices tying in Zatanna and Man-Bat, there's a level of complexity that sets this apart from a "Batman vs." story. Read Full Review
Batman: Full Moon #1 starts strong as the Dark Knight must uncover the cause of some brutal murders while trying to balance his relationship with Zatanna. It was nice to see most of the "Who, What, When, and Where" addressed in this opening issue hopefully leaving more page time for the story to fully develop. Read Full Review
It's a very solid start. There's some pacing issues cutting back and forth between our two main characters, and possibly too many people in the story, but these can all be fixed with relative ease. I enjoy the Talbot sections of the story much more than the Batman side, but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. I love me some werewolf. Subic's art isn't for everyone, and even though I love it, there are a few designs I might tweak. In the end though, an enjoyable book to both read and look at, and does what it sets out to do. It makes Batman feel outmatched. excited to see where it goes! Read Full Review
Absolutely loved this first issue
Subic art was made for this type of story and sets the mood perfectly. The story seems simple yet well executed and feels like is going to be a fantastic series.
Looking forward to the next issue, more blood and guts and some brilliant Batman Detective work. Bring it on
That was fun, love the dark ambience that pervades throughout. A case of the artwork elevating what is a simple story. Excited to read more.
The covers sick. Very interested in seeing where this one goes especially after that ending. I really like these dark and macabre stories with the Bat.
