Just read this trade. It's well written and illustrated and it kept my attention despite how dense it was. I took it as an out of continuity Batman story with a very dark take and I think it mostly works if you go into it with that perspective. ...Except the ending. I remember thinking "this story will be one of the greats if the writer sticks the landing" but they didn't. The villain was murky and poorly defined. If they streamlined the plot threads a bit and gave some exposition explaining "the Body," I think it would have pulled it off. I think if this was an X-files episode (because this was a paranormal horror story once everything is revealed) Mulder would have given some dialog explaining what they were dealing with at the end.
Not sure if I'm the only one but this story was terribly hard to understand. I don't really get who the villain is? I suppose the message is the underlying corruption of Gotham or humanity as a whole? Appreciate the video 🙂

I thought this story was way too dark and gritty.
Uzzab I can’t disagree with you on the dark and gritty observation
