by James Pascoe, Jim Balent, Chuck Dixon, Roger Robinson, Drew Geraci, Marlo Alquiza, N. Steven Harris, Bill Sienkiewicz, Devin Grayson, Dale Eaglesham, Karl Story, Sean Parsons, Pablo Raimondi, Sergio Cariello, Greg Land, Jordan Gorfinkel, Scott McDaniel, Rick Burchett, Rob Hunter, Mark Pennington, John Ostrander, Greg Rucka, Jaime Mendoza, Denny O'Neil, Damion Scott, John Floyd, Sal Buscema, Jimmy Broxton
It's such a difference once Greg Rucka comes back it's crazy.
So the last volume felt like weird side stories all put together despite being the correct order of reading. This is a lot better as Greg Rucka writes the majority of these stories. Batman decides enough is enough and goes to Jim to try to work things out. This is easily the best arc of the entire No Man's Land because it has heart. But before Batman can do that Two Face decides to kidnap Jim and put him on trial. Leaving a very tense court room issue.
We also get a few fun issues of Catwoman that surprisingly don't completely suck. On top of that I even enjoyed the Robin and Nightwing issues here, both help move the story forward. The Lex stuff was decent but basically a way out for the No Man Land storyline to continue.
The best moments come in the last few issues where the Joker strikes. Joker as always is a insane piece of shit and what he does is disgusting and you probably seen it on plenty of list of "Top worst things the Joker has done" but it's the aftermath that really shines. It shows how strong and important Jim is to the batfamily while also showing Bruce is vulnerable at times for a friend.
Overall, this event was WAY too long but it finished very strong. Up and down, but if it finishes it strong, I can be happy. A 4 out of 5.
