Now the Search was really good... 
And essential to the overarching story which makes me wonder why the Crusade was entirely collected before while DC never bothered to reprint the Search..? 

Shondra Kinsolving's backstory kind of comes out of nowhere just like Bruce's appearent love for her. But reading about a crippled Batman trying to track down kidnapped people who he cares for is infinately more interesting than the story of what was going on in Gotham with Azrael in the Crusade. 

I do feel like the finale to this and what happens to Shondra was really well handled and compelling.

The story is well edited, no diversions like some of the other volumes in the series. However, there is far too much filler and not even interesting filler either. The first arc is essentially pointless. The second arc is poorly written. By the third arc, I was just skipping pages even though it was the crux of the entire book. Such a shame, this has the kernel of a very good Batman/Bruce Wayne story.
