| Batman/Deathblow:
After the Fire |
| This
comic, the first in a three-issue Prestige-format
mini-series, features one of comic's hottest
writers, Brian Azzarello, and two stellar
artists, Lee Bermejo on pencils, and Tim
Bradstreet on inks, all working together
to create the perfectly dark, surreal look
and feel for this tale of an assassination
gone terribly wrong. A decade ago, Deathblow,
an old Wildstorm afterthought that Azzarello
brings a surprising depth to, embarked upon
a task with murderous intent, but for unknown
reasons, doesn't finish his work. Turns
out that during the job, Deathblow's life
was saved by an International Operations
agent; the agent just happened to be an
associate of Bruce Wayne, and when said
agent is mysteriously killed, someone's
in line for a beating. Enter the Dark Knight
detective. Batman must uncover the mystery
behind the ten-year-old botched black-ops
mission and bring his friends' killer to
justice, and to do so, it'd be nice if Bats
could talk to Michael Cray (codename Deathblow).
The problem with questioning Cray? He's
dead. This beginning chapter of this mini-series
reads quickly and intriguingly, and fans
of Azzarello will immediately recognize
his innate ability to grab the super-interested
psyche of the reader and give it the chokehold.
Artists Bermejo and Bradstreet are at their
foreboding best as well, and if there's
a grittier, seedier underbelly in the DC
universe than their dank Gotham City, then
it certainly hasn't been stylistically represented
any better than this. This is easily going
to be considered one of the best mini-series
of the year, so don't miss out on this first
issue. |

plus satires of the Batman movies, X-Men,
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and more!
And in our own words: a laugh a minute!
All of your favorite MAD stories presented

and a foreword from some weird old hanger-on
named Adam West. How could it be that this
masterpiece only sets you back ten clams?
