Simpy Styled but Remarkably Effective,
By
This review is from: Batman: War Games, Act Two - Tides (Paperback)
The War Games crossover suffers from problems carried over from most large stories: way too many characters thrown in to one expansive tale just for the sake of having them there. But ignoring this, War Games actually stands as a very strong Batman story in many ways more interesting and imaginative than the extremely entertaining but somewhat hollow "Hush" storyline by the great Jeph Loeb. In this volume the premise kicks into a higher gear with the storyline's main nemesis, Black Mask, who has proven in his Red Skull inspired revamp to be a truly sick, great villain in Batman's rogues gallery. The volume's most captivating and disturbing scenes involve the deliciously evil madman torturing the misguided Stephanie Brown with power tools. But it never steeps into all too common and often ridiculous splash panels page after page in a desperate attempt to try and evoke some emotion. The story carries itself as dramatic utilizing simple technique. It comes with a high reccomendation.

This review is from: Batman: War Games, Act Two - Tides (Paperback)
Great novel, definitely would reccomend this book which is the second in the trilogy. The conclusion to this novel is terrific and the introduction of the villian in it is amazing. Check out this book and the other two in the war games trilogy along with the prelude. Together they form one of the best Batman storylines i've read to date.
