Publisher Description
In this special edition containing the first three issues of Batman Vol 1: The Court of Owls, writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo begin a new era of The Dark Knight! After a series of brutal murders rocks Gotham City, Batman begins to realize that perhaps these crimes go far deeper than appearances suggest. As the Caped Crusader begins to unravel this deadly mystery, he discovers a conspiracy going back to his youth and beyond to the origins of the city he's sworn to protect. Could the Court of Owls, once thought to be nothing more than an urban legend, be behind the crime and corruption? Or is Bruce Wayne losing his grip on sanity and falling prey to the pressures of his war on crime?
Customer Reviews
Great
Great book but was a little to short
Great story, disappointing format
A great story and art, but so much of the potential found in iBooks is missing. For example, it's nice that reading on an iPad allows zooming in on the art. But the main reason for doing so is that the dialog is so tiny that it's illegible!
Why doesn't DC format the iBook so that portrait reading shows only one page instead of a two-page spread?
Why not offer some animation for the pages that show the inked artwork before it is colored. In other words, show the whole creative process?
Must Read
Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo did a great job with these series. Going to the Batman's Detective roots, as well as Gotham. Once you read this, it's hard to stop reading the rest of the series. Consider yourself warned!
4-stars because occasionally the artist will change for 3-4 pages and it's very jarring.
