I'll admit, I was not looking forward to reading this issue. I just don't really think Ra's Al Ghul is interesting, at least not usually. But this is great. It turns out when you don't make Ra's a one note old man who can't get over his grandson's lineage, he can actually be kind of cool. I think what helped is that we get Ra's Al Ghul's perspective. We see why he's so motivated, instead of that being taken for granted. I know this issue will probably get a lot of hate because climate denialism is a popular pastime among the stupid, and this issue really isn't subtle about where it falls on that issue. As always, they should be ignored. The art is great, as well. It's Ivan Reis, so that's no surprise.

Overall, I'd call the One Bad Day line a success. Some issues weren't so good, but I feel like others will go down as must-reads for their respective characters. Once you get past the sort of cynical, corporate fueled nature of trying to sell out on the back of a single, very over-played story, you can see that there's plenty to offer in most of the issues. more

This was absolutely phenomenal! I was blown away by this book as both the writing and artwork were brilliant! This is storytelling at it's finest with art that matches the tone perfectly. I'm a huge batman and ra's al ghul fan and was really looking forward to this issue and it was better than I ever could have guessed. Absolute brilliance!

This is probably my favorite Ra's story ever. Really great stuff.

Phenomenal artwork (some of the best I've seen in a Batman issue for quite some time) & a great Ra's story made this a very enjoyable read. My favorite of the 8 issues in the One Bad Day miniseries. Definitely pick it up and ignore the negative reviews just because it has some stuff about climate change in it.
