Thoughts:
I really enjoy the new comics by DC these days. I heard good things about Batman, Vol 1: I Am Gotham by Tom King and Scott Snyder so I decided to give it a shot.
Right off the bat (pun intended) I was a bit disappointed, the first issue was OK, the story was flat and the art was fine. I didn’t enjoy the new Calendar Man but I give major props for the art team for trying something new and interesting.
This books is a great way to get any fan into the Batman books without having to read a ton of material. The story starts off fresh and even manages, slyly I might add, to tell the Batman origin story we all heard a thousand times without breaking up the narrative.
A worthy feat indeed.
The art went from OK to good. I didn’t really like the first issue, but it gotten better and better as the story went along and managed to move the story along in a good pace.
I found the book, as a whole, to be clever with a good storyline. Tom King is a wonderful writer and I’m looking forward to reading more of his stories.
Synopsis:
There are two new heroes in Gotham, aptly named Gotham and Gotham Girl. Both of those new heroes have Superman-like power.
Only that the heroes want to save Gotham City from Batman.
