Batman: New Gotham Vol. 1 (Detective Comics (1937-2011))

In one word, the book is fantastic. This book takes place right after No Man's Land and tackles the issues facing the city as it returns to normalcy. This has a few different stories including Gordon's return to the force, and a great Ra's al Ghul story. The art was also fantastic. Very excited for book 2.

Very interesting art work.

Takes place immediately after the end of No Man's Land. Gotham has been rebuilt. Tensions are mounting between those who stayed during NML and those who left. There's also a power vacuum in the underworld of the city as people flock back to Gotham. You can see the origins of Gotham Central here. Whisper A'Daire and Sasha Bordeaux are also introduced who feature prominently in Batwoman and Checkmate respectively a few years later.The Good: Anything Greg Rucka does is going to be at least decent. But the stories here are kinda of rudimentary.The Bad: Batman is almost a supporting character in the book, working with the Major Crimes Unit on various cases.The Ugly: Each story is colored using only two colors. For instance the first story used only orange and grey, another red and green, etc. It was distracting and often garish colors. I found it very offputting.

The best of Batman! Amazing! I recomend!

I really enjoyed the No Man's Land Saga and this follow up to that event does a nice job showing how Gotham got back on it's feet. The art isn't for everyone but I didn't mind. The big hit to the rating though is the story about Gordon getting shot is not included in this nor the other New Gotham trade. It's referenced but never seen and the Officer Down trade has since gone out of print.
