Batman: The Dark Knight #1

graphiccasualfreak's Batman: The Dark Knight #1 - Knight Terrors review

Starts so slowly I all most nodded off.

The beginning of this issue was so agonizingly slow that I all most skipped pages. The art in this book is excellent, I all most took out my camera a couple of times to takes snaps to put up on my computer. Especially toward the last 25% when Bruce FINALLY pulls out the Batman costume. I really liked the end, and I REALLY hope the next issue picks up directly where this one left off. Because THAT will be a good issue. But this is a fine start, albeit a slow one. I did like the dialogue, which has been spotty in Batman books of late. So good job, Paul Jenkins, good job Alex Sinclair... Can't wait to see what wonders #2 brings and I think they will be wonders.
