Dark Victory (Various)


In Dark Victory (the sequel to The Long Halloween), a strange new killer is on the loose.  The standard rogues gallery has been broken out of Arkham, the mob is recovering following their defeat in Halloween, and the newly-created Two-Face (formerly Harvey Dent) has escaped.  When someone starts killing cops on holidays, Gotham seems ready to fall apart at the seams.  Can Batman find this 'Holiday killer' before it's too late?  Or will going it alone prove too much to handle this time?

I enjoyed The Long Halloween, and Dark Victory is much in the same vein.  Same author/artist team, same general theme (a mystery woven over many issues), and same good storytelling.  Many rogues make an appearance, which is always fun, and we get introduced to the first Robin.  Overall, a good read.
