This is a nice read. Spiderman and Batman working together makes this story interesting. I think the story could have been longer.

Although this graphic novel is short, fans of both DC or Marvel will enjoy it. Whether you like DC or Marvel, both or one over the other, this is a good choice for you. Spiderman and Batman team up to hear that Kingpin is taking his almost dead wife to Ra's Al Ghul for he heard that only Ghul can save her from death. But Batman knows there's more to it.

Batman and Spiderman team up to take on villains Kingpin and Ras Al Ghul. I believe that Dematteis does a superb job with all four characters. Spider-man is a wise-cracking but compassionate man who has an overwhelming sense of responsibility. Batman is a dark, menacing figure with no super-powers. Perhaps the only reason he teams up with Spiderman well is because he identifies with Spidey's strong sense of responsibility. Kingpin is a scheming, criminal mastermind, which lends itself to a good plot twist near the end of the story. Ras Al Ghul is a self-proclaimed visionary and savior who believes the path to salvation involves rebuilding the world after nearly wiping out its population.
The Demon plans once again to upset the balance of the earth. He approaches Wilson Fisk, believing that the Kingpin can finally help him realize his ideal. However, betrayal is very likely with these two. What will happen when they team up?
The story and dialogue are very well done. My only complaint is that I wish it was longer.
