Customer Reviews
an exemplary... work.
Comics were once a haven for my youthful fantasies of heroic deeds and super'power's. I'll always love and respect their ability to 'teleport' a reader to a crime ridden city, nearby galaxy or exotic continent all with the flip of a page.
I can't say enough great things about the DC writers & artists for tackling this very serious topic in an exemplary piece of work.
While the caped crusader is our mythology, his standard for justice, as decreed from his creators, echo in ALL our hearts and imaginations: a protector and upholder of justice for those who desperately need protection regardless of the pigment of their skin.
I wonder if that's how many 'would be' public servants start out. Wanting to truly 'protect & serve'. maybe, along the tattered path of unwritten codes of conduct & daily forgotten horror ...they lose their way. The line of criminality and civility get blurred.
I don't know.
But i do know that we should strive to love ourselves and each other as Mr. Wayne loves his fictional city and it's inhabitants; even a lost boy desperately trying to keep what remains of his family together.

Hits the spot!
Had to read it twice to understand who was narrating. Thought it was Bruce narrating at first.
