Batman: No Man's Land is a massive story arc that ran through the various Batman family comic book series that was published by DC Comics. The storyline centers on Gotham City after a massive earthquake, which resulted in the United States government officially evacuating Gotham, then abandoning, and isolating those who chose to remain in the city – A No Man's Land.Batman: No Man's Land, Vol. 2 collects: Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight #117–119, Batman: Shadow of the Bat #85–87, Batman #565,

What a thrilling ending to No Man's Land. The story is so utterly fantastic that I am surprised that Hollywood has not made a Bat-Man movie out of this. A must read for all the people who love the 'Dark Knight'.

Volume 2 picks up the action and has some much better stories thanks to Greg Rucka. Some questionable art at the beginning of the volume but overall very good.

The story now thickens - reviews are hard without giving the game away either for those who have not read cataclysm or no mans land one - just to say that the various factions heroes and villains are all playing out their agendas - where there are no longer rules or standards who says what is right or not - and maybe those who make the rules are not as upstanding as they should be. This is one of the underlying themes to these books - when all rules are abandoned who says which you can stick to

A fantastic volume with some fabulous moments

Note to self: don't buy Vol. 3 of a series before determining the craptacularity level of Vol. 2, as it may be exceedingly high. Like the guy in the Simpsons who traded his car for a Krusty Burger ribwich, I have the buyer's remorse.

If the first volume was mediocre throughout, this volume is outright crap in the beginning. Stories and, especially, artwork both suck ass hard. Thankfully, there are gems in here. Even better, they're standalone, though this also means they contribute little to the overall story and are skippable. They feature supporting characters who display very human traits. The second half of the volume is the important bit, the one that progresses the story in this violent urban wasteland.Batman needs to

The art got wonky at times, but still just a fascinating arc. Even with different writers, it's been fairly consistent. Hard to put down.

[REVIEW TO COME LATER UPON RE-READING.]

The second book is mostly about what happens in “No Man’s Land” told from the perspectives of the various characters. Azrael has a couple of adventures saving innocents from the gangs; Batman fights numerous foes working for the Penguin; Jim Gordon starts to lose it while fighting to maintain a strong police presence in this nightmarish world; and there are stories involving Montoya and Alfred.The stories weren’t bad but they weren’t stand-out either. It’s mostly about ordinary people struggling...

A bit more hit and miss in places, but there’s a fascinating story by 2000AD mainstays Ian Edginton and D’Israeli which again suggests that this was definitely part of the mix when Day of Chaos was being planned, especially the stories post that where Mega City is trying to piece the world back together in isolation

This is a collection from the No Man's Land story line in which Gotham City is hit by an earthquake and is declared off limits. This was an extension of the thinking that cities were centers of crime and corruption and it would just take a little push to send them into chaos. This thinking was big back in the nineties. Laypeople will see that the No Man's Land storyline was jammed into the Dark Knight Rises, but instead of an earthquake Bane has taken over Gotham and sealed it off. The nice thin...

While I enjoyed the second collection, it's kind of hard to top that Scarecrow story from Volume 1. However, what Volume 2 lacks in story, it makes up for in artwork.With Greg Rucka and Bob Gale sharing the majority of the writing task, the reigns of the artwork are given to several people throughout the novel's brisk 208 pages. In fact, some of the most interesting presentations of The Dark Knight's world are shown here through the pencils of illustrators like Chris Renaud and D'Israeli. Both g...

So this one follows the event following Batman's return and his takedown of Scarface , Bat's now trying to stamp his authority as he continues to conquer more regions of the Gotham .

Meanwhile Azarael continues his mission to take down Scratch It's another super dark book that excels in a dystopian-esque Gotham . T...

The premise of this series of graphics comic books is the product of genius. A massive earthquake struck Gotham City, so completely destroying it that the federal government declares it a wasteland and orders it evacuated and then sealed off from the rest of the world. Some people refuse to leave their homes, while others choose to stay within the consequential chaos. The destroyed city has been partitioned into territories held by various groups, some criminal and others with a more noble int

Once again, allow me to pimp my Batman ink drawing here!(Link: https://www.deviantart.com/darkchildr...)Finally, I managed to tear myself away from Batman online fanfics long enough to read comics...Okay, is the new 'Batgirl' actually Selina Kyle? I don't think it's likely but still...Anyway, I love the artwork, most of them are befittingly dark and gritty which fits the mood of the main story perfectly. In a tale about The Black Mask and his cult, the comic artist, Frank Teran and colorist Glor...

This volume features a more disparate group of stories than Batman: No Man's Land, Vol. 1. Some of the stories skip around in the chronology of the events of Cataclysm and No Man's Land. There's still lots to like though. Again, Batman is used best when he's not the main focus of the story. He's always there somewhere, even if it is only as a topic of discussion for the other characters. I'm particularly fond of the Renee Montoya and Two-Face story. The art does a great job of conveying Montoya'...

Gotham city has been destroyed by an earthquake and the villains are doing their very level best to finish the job. It's a well done book for any fans of graphic novels.

This was better than the first volume.They really need to stop drawing the healthy side of Two Face's face attractive.
