Batman - No Man's Land #1

A brooding Batman stands his ground before a shattered chain-link fence bearing a battered "Gotham City" sign — a ruined, fog-draped skyline looming behind him — perfectly setting the tone for this 2014 Urban Comics French-language collection. With writing credits from Bob Gale, Devin Grayson, Greg Rucka, and Ian Edginton, No Man's Land Tome 1 brings together some serious storytelling firepower for one of Batman's most desperate chapters. If you've been looking for an entry point into Gotham at its most broken, this is a compelling place to start.
