Batman: The Dark Knight, Volume 4: Clay
by Gregg Hurwitz
Not as good as volume 2-3 but a nice close up.
So we have Clayface for this volume. Don't get me wrong, I always found him kind of a scary villain. I mean his powerset is pretty insane. But on top of that I just came from detective comics run in rebirth, which made Clayface good, so was a bit jarring the character change but Gregg does a great job of making him a villain with a sound pity story. The 2nd half of this book, or later half, is mostly just one shot adventures for the Batman.
Good: I really enjoyed Clayface story and take. Showed how scary he could be and how pitiful is reasoning is for becoming a villain. I thought that showing him being semi-smart was a nice change, and I liked the first few pages SO much I thought it might be the best story ever for Clayface. Oh, and I liked the art throughout.
Bad: The clayface story came to a end a little to quick for my liking. Also, the side stories or one/two shots at the end were just okay. I don't think they were even written by Gregg.
Overall, a decent conclusion to a otherwise great run (still gotta read volume 1) But Gregg really gave some love to Batman's villains and they are indeed scary. A 3 out of 5.
