Product Description:
GOTHAM CITY: a dark, twisted re?ection of urban America. Overcrowded, overbuilt, and overshadowed by a continuous air of menace, this gothic nightmare is a breeding ground for the depraved, the indifferent, and the criminally insane. It's also the object of one man's obsession. Witness to the brutal murder of his parents, Bruce Wayne has dedicated his life to protecting this city, taking a form to inspire hope in the innocent...and fear in the guilty. He is the masked vigilante known as the Batman.
Now the battlefield has changed. Leveled by a massive earthquake that left thousands dead and millions more wounded, Gotham City has been transformed into a lawless wilderness -- a No Man's Land -- where the survivors are turning against one another, and where the city's protectors are torn by a crisis that may consume them all.

I was skeptical of a Novelization of a Batman story. I have not read the original Graphic Novel for No Man's Land, but saw the reviews of this and decided to give it a shot. Perhaps the best decision I've made this year.

With the modern love of all things batty this story from Gotham brings some of the finest characters of the cities elite together in the aftermath of a terrible tragedy. An earthquake has split the city, the world has abandoned it, and so to, has Gotham's pointy eared defender. Joining heroes, villains, and the citizens of Gotham Greg Rucka takes us on a wonderful story about the triumph of the human spirit, the strength of a city, and the power of who we place our trust in. A stunning read in both comic ... Read More

This review is unlike any other that I have written for a book, primarily because I was already familiar with the story due to having previously read the graphic novels that it is based on, and therefore may be most helpful to others like myself. Comparing the differences between the two formats and their separate and distinct methods of storytelling is worth noting, but may be essentially unfair or even invalid, since most projects should be judged strictly on their own merits anyways. However, with any ... Read More

I was a bit sceptical about how good a novelisation of an epic comic event could be, but I was pleasantly surprised. I bought this mostly out of curiosity to see how well batman went in a different medium, but I found it to be a very enjoyable book. By switching from comic to novel, there seems to be a bit more depth than what is usually found in most comics - and there are much deeper insights into the characters. To be fair, it's no great work of literature, but it's different and I'd easily rank it ... Read More
