3.0
I'd say this 16 issues behemoth was a 2.5 out of 5 star book .
Featuring the aftermath of the earth quake that has left Gotham at the brink of extinction and Batman feeling helpless , as this enemy is not something he can punch or deduct into submission . This book compiles the various stories that take place during and immediately after the earthquake . Displaying the grit and the carnal nature of human beings in their efforts to survive . And of course shown are the efforts put in by Bruce Wayne and Batman in restoring the city.
This books format works both for and against it , as the format gives us one shots that can be compiled and admired for the various stories told in them , however most story feel generic or don't touch any emotional strings ergo making it a dull book at many times .
As I said , this was an average read . I had not read this classic during it's release and now that I have , I must admit , this is not a "must-read" and one can easily skip it to jump into the no-man's land story line
