Summary: One of Best Batman Stories
Comment: I'm not one that enjoys multi-title crossover story arcs, but this one demanded the attention. This was the best story arc for the Batman universe I had run across in over a year. The writer did an excellent job portraying the sheer gravity of how close Batman was to Commish Gordon and even better job keeping the story cohesive over the various Batman titles. This is truly a great classic drama of GCPD relation with Batman (and his family) worthy of a read.
Rating: 4
Summary: Predictable,, but poignant.
Comment: Officer Down collects a cross-over tale spanning the full line of Batman books in 2001, each penned by their respective creative teams. While crossovers of this sort often flop -- in part because of poor direction of the teams -- Officer Down works well to form a cohesive storyline.
Despite the different voices of the writers, the story maintains an even pace and flow. The art is good for most of the book, but again, there are disparities. Part two, drawn by Jacob and Arnold Pander, is ugly; the rest works well although no two artists seem able to reach a consensus about Harvey Bullock's appearance.
It's worth noting that this storyline marked a few significant changes in the makeup of the Batverse. It's also a good stand-alone story for any interested in checking in on the characters without fear of getting caught up in an ongoing plot.
Rating: 4
Summary: Probably not for the casual Bat-fan
Comment: In general this is not a very exciting story. There is not a great deal of action and most of the story is given over to character examination. This is diffently not a book for the casual Batman reader, although anyone who feels they have a basic knowledge of the the Batverse will probably enjoy seeing the character developments. While this book is not a great story by itself, it does deal with a major change in Gotham, one that includes the loss of a major character, and something that is still effecting the comic line today.
