Summary: "Batman can't be wrong"
Comment: Very good sequel that doesn't top "The Long Halloween" (I mean, how could it?) but stands well on its own and has its own merits. The good: we find out what happened to Chief O'Hara, who disappeared years ago in Bat-continuity after the '60s show; we find out why Holiday and the crime families are not around at all anymore and why the "freaks" seem to run everything; we see more of why Batman took on a partner, which I still think is silly but understandable, and we get another good mystery, which few comic books can carry out. The bad: Robin doesn't have much face time (about five panels in full costume, plus the last cover); the story is rather repetitive in its use of holidays as murder times (though the use of August 2nd in this and TLH is a good giveaway of the killer: only someone in the family would think of the Roman's birthday as a holiday); the art doesn't seem quite so lovely as before; and the use of super-villains is gratuitous. Overall though, a worthy followup.
BEST part: the Gilda Dent picture puzzle: _uil_ _s si_.

Summary: Loeb & Sale have done it again!
Comment: If you have never read anything by Jeph Loeb & Tim Sale, you truly are missing out on the dynamic duo of comic book storytelling. I read Batman: The Long Halloweeen a few years ago and was totally blown away by the writing and artwork. It is, hands down, one of the best Batman stories of all-time and is right up there with Batman: Year One and The Dark Knight Returns in my book.
I read Dark Victory last week and it is just as much a page-turner as The Long Halloween. Few people can write Batman/Bruce Wayne, Jim Gordon, Catwoman/Selina Kyle and the wealth of supporting characters that make up the Batman universe like Jeph Loeb. The man has a gift. And Sale's artwork, while not for everyone, has grown on me over the years and is definately appropriate for Bats and company.
I would also highly recommed Daredevil: Yellow by Loeb and Sale. They bring the same high level of quality to The Man Without Fear that they've done with the Dark Knight Detective. I am anxiously awaiting the softcover release of Superman: For All Seasons, as well as the tpb version of Spider-Man: Blue, so that I can add to my Loeb/Sale library.

Summary: Awesome sequel to Batman:Long Halloween!!!
Comment: Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale are great collaborators and magnificent storytellers. Jeph has the ability to keep you guessing until the final chapter of this classic book. Tim will mesmerize you with his incomparable art. This is also one of the best (if not the best) depictions of Richard 'Dick' Grayson-Robin character. A great collection indeed!!!
