I enjoy the series for the most part, though I haven't read all issues. The nice thing about it is they're self-contained stories that don't rely on you following for months and months. As has been mentioned, because the creative teams change every issue or couple issues, you get a nice variety, and it's nice to see creators get to write/draw the Bat that wouldn't otherwise be doing so.

I'd recommend grabbing a few of them if you see any creators whose work you already like and go from there. I particularly enjoyed the very first issue with art by Jeff Lemire and the story by Damon Lindelof.

This looks promising. I might have to start reading this now. As if I didn't have enough comics to read...

Anyone any thoughts on this series?

Well it's hard to really say anything about it other than it's nice to follow since you always get one completely different kind of story after the other. Every couple of issues has a new creative team, so some are bad, and some are very good.
