Batman - Gotham After Midnight #2 - DC


I like this book so far. But, being issue #2 of 12 . . . it's a little early for us to have any kind of picture of what's going on here. All we really know so far is that there's a new villain in town . . supposedly. We don't really know if it may be an villain with a new style. It's possible. Anyways, whoever this is seems to be drugging Batman's usual nemesis' so they're acting erratically. They seem to be sticking to what they know best, but the also seem to have different MO's for obtaining their goals. So far we really have no idea who the new culprit may be. We've met someone called the Axe-man, but . . I don't think he's the real antagonist here. It's nice to see that the Batman has a friendly face on the inside of GCPD now. He's been talking a lot to a Detective Carson. There's plenty of action though, so far. And the artwork by Kelley Jones is incredible. I don't know why no one thought of teaming up Steve Niles with Kelley Jones before. They're perfect for each other. The artwork and story meld together as if they were one. I'm sure this is going to be a fantastic series, but, we need a couple of more issues to get the pulse of the story. Everything else about it, though . . is perfect.
