Dark Moon Rising: Batman and the Mad Monk

Story and Art: Matt Wagner

Colors: Dave Stewart
Letters: Rob Leigh

Year One, November
I found the second volume of Dark Moon Rising less successful than the first; despite Wagner's visual flourish, things felt muddled, and not in a good way-- the book often seemed like it was lurching from subplot to subplot. And though I like the idea of seeing Batman's first confrontation with the "supernatural," I don't think Wagner exploited it as much as he might have.
