![]() Rating: - Average StorytellingThis collection is taken from Batman #651-654 and Detective Comics #817-820. It take place one year later from the events in Infinite Crisis. It starts out with the some of the lesser supervillians being killed off by an unknown pursuant. The mystery surrounding the killings is heightened by the discovery of the murder weapon that once belonged to Two-Face. One year ago, Batman choose Harvey Dent to protect the city during his absence. Harvey was seemingly cured of his disfiguration and his split ...

The plot is supposed to be about the "inner demons" Harvey Dent battles after having been declared clinically sane and having his face restored. The schizophrenic Dent, who has been appointed by Batman to be the city's new guardian while he, Robin, and Nightwing are away, must choose between becoming a functional, good citizen again or devolving back into the arch-villain Two Face.

He is the perfect choice but the artwork fluctuates between good and bad with artists Andy Clark (good) and Don Kramer(not so much) taking turns with each of the six chapters. It has become tradition with batman where better writers are stradeled with below par artists to mediocre effect. There should have been more effort to try to have one artist do all the art chores ... Read More Rating: - I'd rather face a different bookI couldn't decide whether to give this two or three stars, but it gets three thanks to the art. Every page was consistently top-notch and well-executed, and the covers, especially the Two-Face ones, were absolutely stunning. The writing, however, left much to be desired. As a bit of a grammar Nazi, I have to mention that Robinson's punctuation errors were rampant. (Most notably, he doesn't seem to understand the relationship between a period and a question mark.) Still, that's a minor problem. ... Read More Batman: Face the Face Buy superhero comic book collectibles at the Superhero Mall! |
