    It's fantastic. The ending, the pirate story running through it, the characters, the dialog - everything about is classic stuff.

    Still, it doesn't beat "Dark night Returns" as the best Graphic Novel, but comes a very close 2nd.

    Frank Miller wrote Dark Night Returns as well as Batman:Year One (and Year Two I think).

    Anyone read The Long Holloween? A very cool Batman Mystery.

    Either of the comic shops in Dublin (Sub City and Forbidden Planet), and a good few of the bigger bookshops (Easons, Hodges and Figges, Waterstones) have it.

    Yeah I'd prefer it to DKR as well. Have to give em both a re-read though, both fantastic pieces in their own right. I remember finishing Watchmen for the first time. holy sh1t. what a story!

    Well the movie was utter crap so the book is probably good :rolleyes: I always go for the same type of books so this might be something that could break the routine.
