Gotham City: Year One (2022-) #1 Kindle & comiXology

4.7 out of 5 stars 113 ratings

There once was a shining city on the water, a home for families, hope, and prosperity. It was Gotham and it was glorious. The story of its fall from grace, the legend that would birth the Bat, has remained untold for 80 years. That’s about to change. Superstar creators Tom King and Phil Hester team up for the first time to tell the definitive origin of Gotham City: how it became the cesspool of violence and corruption it is today, and how it harbored and then unleashed the sin that led to the rise of the Dark Knight. Two generations before Batman, private investigator Slam Bradley gets tangled in the “kidnapping of the century” as the infant Wayne heir disappears in the night…and so begins a brutal, hard-boiled, epic tale of a man living on the edge and a city about to burn.

    Phil Hester’s art sings. Absolutely gorgeous work by a master artist. Bellaire’s colors bring the the 60’s to life. It’s a great era as a back drop for King’s tale of a pre-Batman Gotham City. Exciting mystery so far.

    Can’t wait for issue #2.

    For a Tom Kimg book this one plays different. Not too wordy with panels and panels. It flows nicely. Yes it is pulpy and noir but this suits a Gotham City tale. The art is Mignola-esque and its lovely.
