Batman, Volume 6: Graveyard Shift by Scott Snyder

jbmorgan86's review

3.0

This is a random collection of leftover stories. It really doesn't work as a whole. The stories are very uneven. Most of them feature Batman/Bruce coping with Jason Todd's death. Clayface, Catwoman, and Superman all show up. Highlights: the Clayface story line. Low point: a villain called "Spoiler" that knows the future.

Wow this is really amazing! I love how it ties so many stories together, such as the continuation and end of the flashback to Zero Year, to the lose of Damian, and then into Batman Eternal! The new Robin is FANTASTIC! Or is it Robins? Or just new sidekicks??? I'm not sure what Bluebird and her twin are categorized as.

I think this seats at a solid 4.5 or 4.75 out of five stars. Quite good.

A few stand alone stories from the Scott Snyder run. Some tie in into stories I already read like zero year. Others were depending on knowledge of events that I'm not aware of for their emotional payoff.

I have to admit that while some of the stories in here were mildly interesting, I was very underwhelmed with the majority of content in here. Snyders run despite a strong opening is not living up to its reputation.

Arguably a misstep, however, this volume collects a variety of issues that serve as filler between present events in the storyline and aspects from Zero Year. Nevertheless, plenty of fun and joy to read this entertaining volume!
