shankieDarker than Death.
I just was gifted a scanner, and am playing. Can't you tell?
I had a few words to say about the first issue in this storyarc, which is apparently the one that will end Legends of the Dark Knight... so they're going out with a bang.
And such a bang.
The mood of the book is the most striking thing about this book, both in text and in the art. Which is gorgeous.
The way that relationships are developed in the story is also... quite something. While the sub-plot of his newfound romance with the socialite has come to a place of angst in the first few pages, she's still very much in the forefront of Bruce's mind. And Alfred is done... perfectly. Stoic, both leaving more unsaid than said.
Oh yeah, and shirtless Bruce.
But there's also girls, girls, girls. And done so that those boobs look real. Much too rare in this industry, I think.
This storyarc has been supremely satisfying on so many levels. And proves once again... yes, Bruce can be written as both a human being, and as a kickass Batman. Learn it DC, you've got all the good examples in the world. I'll miss Legends of the Dark Knight, but they're giving it a sendoff that almost makes it worth it.
