Actually, Batman: Snow is fantastic!
I thought it would be a nice christmas read, but it turns out there's a suprising amount of love and sadness in this portrail of these characters.
The characters are probably the best part about this story. Batman seems young but not inexperienced as in Year One. Bruce's relationship with Alfred ia a particular highlight of this book. Victor Fries' arc is a hard hitting tragedy. Every minor character is unique in their own way. Even though loads of that also stems from the art.
At first it turned me off how cartoonish this artstyle was, it seemed more like a picture book for kids than a tragedy. But I really appreciate what the art does for the charme and feel of it all.
Great read and I hope DC reprints this soon so that more people can get access to this for a reasonable price.
