The second issue of the bombastic team-up between DC's Dark Knight and Sergio Bonelli's Nightmare Investigator is here! Batman hunts through London to find any trace of the kidnapped Catwoman, and all of his clues are turning up smiles...while Dylan Dog must enlist the help of John Constantine to track down a serial killer...a serial killer he already put in the ground years before. Life is hell in more ways than one in this gargantuan issue that will bring you straight to hell (but will it take you back?).
Roberto Recchioni continues to spin an intriguing story making great use of Batman and Dylan Dog. The dialogue between the two protagonists is sharp and very much in line with what we know of their characters. The addition of the Demon Etrigan made way for some fun rhymes whereas John Constantine allowed the writer to create an interesting bit of conversation between Dog and Constantine about how things are versus the way they are now.

The first issue of this series was compelling enough, with an interesting look into a world of comics most Americans have never seen, but this one feels much more rooted in the world of the DCU and Vertigo in particulara world where Dylan Dog and the scumbags he fights feel right at home. At 60 pages of story per issue, this is a strange journey well worth taking. Read Full Review
Well… Batman/Dylan Dog #2 doesn't really have a conclusion as much as a cliffhanger. How does this intrepid due get out of Hell? I would imagine by meeting the Devil himself? Recchioni's done an excellent job with the writing in this one, I wasn't expecting the clever humor that I encountered and arguably wasn't really looking forward to reading and reviewing this issue. However…what a rebound! Perhaps with having to catch up American audiences who may not be familiar with Dylan Dog made it the main task for issue #1, but #2 is all go! Read Full Review
Batman/Dylan Dog #2 dives straight into the supernatural side of things, sidelining the street-level superheroics for now, which may cause readers' mileage to vary. But what stays consistent is the gorgeous art that delivers the story's punch from the streets of London to the depths of the underworld. And the witty dialogue running parallel with the dark themes really mesh together wonderfully. Read Full Review
This comic took me by surprise. It isn't necessarily a great Batman comic, but it is a wonderful Dylan Dog comic. If you are looking for a creative horror comic with some Gotham flavor, this series has been a lot of fun so far. Read Full Review
It's the exploration of Batman and Dylan Dog's combined worlds that drives the sophomore installment of Batman/Dylan Dog; given what's displayed here, readers will be left wishing this series was an ongoing feature. Read Full Review
I think this team-up really works. The beginning with them hunting for the elements for the cure to the Joker serum, and Dylan being a fish out of water, to him then being in his element when he works with Constantine. Etrigan is a great addition and I like that the writer didn't feel the need for Batman to be in the final mission. Constantine and Dylan together was great.
