One of my Christmas purchases. I'm about half way through and, really, this is very very good. It's meticulously plotted and, although its large cast of characters means it sometimes feels like it's moving quite slowly, it's a very absorbing story.
Oh, and dramatic. It's very very dramatic. Right from the first issue, the stakes are high and they keep getting higher as the story unfolds. Obviously, Bats is the main character, but most of the Bat family get extended screen time and some of the team-ups are very cool.
And some of it's actually very funny. Tim Drake's reaction to the revelation that Alfred has a daughter is classic. But it's, as always, the grim, exciting stuff that keeps you reading. I'm about halfway through and enjoying it immensely. Recommended.
