    I'm not sure yet if this is going to equal or even rival the two masterpieces that came before it, but this is off to a promising start and it'll be interesting to see how the art shifts throughout and how the continuity between issues builds. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Christian Gonzalez Oct 31, 2024

    Issue #2 of The Last Halloween was another solid read. It might not have reached the highs of issue #1, but I'm still intrigued to find out what happens next. Klaus Janson was the MVP, and Jeph Loeb is crafting a mystery that leaves me wanting more and that's still worth of The Long Halloween's legacy. Onto issue #3 and happy Halloween to all the ghouls out there. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Kevin Rossi Oct 30, 2024

    Batman: The Long Halloween - The Last Halloween #2 is another solid entry in the series. Klaus Janson and Dave Stewart are great additions and capture a certain era of Batman comics. The series is still getting going so not much has happened, and so far things have been predictable. Its been twenty years since readers have returned to this story, and that gap is felt. However, it works as a great way to honor Tim Sale while contributing to an iconic saga. Read Full Review

    Loeb perfection. I'm just ecstatic we're getting this at all. That it's so we'll written is a bonus!

    Another satisfactory issue. Not as thrilling as most of Loeb's other Batman works, but I expect a boost in momentum in time. After all we're just 2 issues in. Plus I really doubt he was as prepared for this as he was the rest. I have a feeling it was rushed as part of DC's desperation to save itself and win back the old fans they've taken for granted for so long.
    Still Loeb proves he still has the talent for making an interesting batman mystery. And they've picked some pretty good art talent to fill in for the late Tim Sale. I'd recommend this book to any Long Halloween fan for sure.

    I'm surprised Loeb still has it in him to do great comics. Not really a knock at the guy, it's just he's been gone soooooo long. Great work on story and art.

    Good book. It's not the cleanest or most efficient storytelling, but it's still a great story. The art was pretty good and the writing was great. I feel like I'd enjoy it much more in trade format when it's done, but I'll keep reading it monthly then probably reread it as a finished product in about eight months heh.
