I've not read No Man's Land and I'd like to know what you Bataficianados thought of it before I take the plunge.
I know it's been around for awhile but, PLEASE -- NO SPOILERS!
Just tell me your general thoughts. Thanks!

Unfortunately, I've only ever gotten around to buying vol. 1, but from what I've read I'd give it 4 stars, it's excellent, and I'm sure the whole thing is that way.  |

It's one of the biggest Batman arcs in his long history! I know, it's just that I haven't been a monthly buyer in ages. I pretty much stick to TPBs now and I want to make sure it's worth it before I take the plunge. Keep those opinions coming! |

its a gd series but the story does drag on at times and the ending is incredibly rushed. gd book though. Too True. Its a HUGE story and a pretty important event to the Bat-Universe. It should definatly be read atleast once. Ive read my set atleast 3 times through. That doesnt sound like alot but seeing thats it 5 volumes (6 if you count Cataclysm), it is. Personally Id give it 3 stars as its not the most exciting book Ive ever read but its still a big part of the current Bat-history. |

Funnily enough my favourite is not the Comic but the novelised version by Greg Rucka.It's outstanding and creates a very detailed and expansive story.Well worth checking out if you get the chance.

I never read the No Man's Land comic version but I did read Greg Rucka's novel and I loved it! It's a great story and one of the turning points for Gotham City and all that live there! I would definately check it out!

Yeah,I agree with everyone else on the boards-the actual comics are not that great but the novel by Greg Rucka is quite good.If you're interested in the story,his novelization is the best way to go

I have both the novelization and TPBs. This is a great arch, it changed many things in Batman lore. Great story!!! |

I pretty much stick to TPBs now and I want to make sure it's worth it before I take the plunge. Keep those opinions coming! Same with me...The cost can be insane if you want to buy multiple books, so, I just stick with TPB's...That, and buy anything Batman-related that's 1/2-off from the "whatever" bin at a comic shop near my grandma's house... |

I've read the novel, and, until the price drops on the other TPB's, there's no real reason for me to validate in my mind purchasing a series of books that I've basically already read... |

I just finished volume 1. I liked how they put in the Scarecrow in the role of Satan. He played off well against Father Christian. The Joker would have done a good job but in the edn I think he would have ended up killing everyone in the shelter with his laughing gas. I also liked how since Batman had been away for a while he now has to start from the beginning in establishing himself. I'm sure he will have no problem.
And the Penguin with his Casablanca-like hideout. Everything has its price. I hope his role is reccuring in this arc.
I start volume 2 today.

Just a warning...the trades only have SOME of the issues...not all of them. You actually have to collect for that...and it is A LOT of issues (I am like 20-30 away). There are over 150 I believe, and like 30 are in the trades, so....

No-Man's Land is top-notch. I havn't read all the issues cause the entire arc is the size of my collection. But i read the novel by Greg Rucka one of my fav writers. Since he wrote some of No-Man's Land it makes sense. But the thing about the TPBs that sucks
