I’m not really sure that this tale
qualifies as an Elseworld. It doesn’t carry the imprint, but it is a spin-off
of the “Legends of the Dark Knight” series that’s comprised of Elseworld-like
adventures. The only reason I read this book, much less added it to my
collection is that it was included on Wikipedia’s list of Elseworlds titles.
The art doesn’t work. It’s too raw
and childish. Although O’Neil’s art is a perfect fit in his work on “The League
of Extraordinary Gentlemen” series. But here, it’s much too jumbled.
Also, the storyline is a complete
mess. Now in all fairness, this problem may stem from the fact that I did not
know that this was a sequel to a story arc in the “Legends of the DK” series.
Yet, while I am inclined to collect that series in the future, I’m not in dire
need to read the prequels any time soon.
