Batman: Year 100 & Other Tales Deluxe Edition

I had not known about this series until recently. When I learned it had won two Eisner Awards and after reading so any positive reviews, I thought I'd check it out. I was stunningly disappointed. The art looks sloppy, ugly, rushed and is, at times, confusing. The story is simplistic. The antagonists are two-dimensional. Many questions raised go unexplained. I envy all of those who love this book. Clearly, whatever its is that appeals to its fans it went over my head.

This is not just a great Batman comicbook story, but one of my favorite comics ever. And that, not so much of what this means to the medium in the way that Watchmen,Dark Knigh Returns,Asteryos Polyp,etc.did and still do. But in a way that... this is a greatly executed comic book story that praises the medium much more than most give it credit to. Paul Pope is a master storyteller, not the same way that Alan Moore or Frank Miller was/is. He is his own artist in a different way. He "lives" comics in his own distinct style as truly an artform that demands respect on its own special way. He tells a dystopian story not that far away in the future, and drops us right in the middle "of things" and every time that you read this story you get something more... and the second, third time new areas of story unfolds in you mind, hints and pieces that are always there but were not meant for you to consciously get them the first time... but (more) felt. Do not get me wrong, the greatness of this story in part lies to its "appearing" simplicity and you are welcome to read it only once and enjoy it. But if you like it enough and read it again you really enjoy it even more. Greatly designed and executed, at least to my undestanding. I can of course undestand that it is a matter of taste Paul Popes "style" of art, some may not like it, perfectly understandable, but it really is a pity not to praise his incredible storytelling technique and efficiency. One of the few comic (and not only) books that every time I read it I truly enjoy it... in a slightly different way. And what do you expect me to say about "Broken Nose"... or... How cool is that Pope? A true artist.Invest in this book... unless you do not like the art style, everything here is top-notch. Wish for an absolute editon...

Looks great. Got different cover than shown.

This is posssibly the most underrated Batman comic ever. Perfect in every fashion, this is a must read and must own for any Batman fan.

The Batman 100 story which dominates this time is excellent. While I don't care for popes artwork, his storytelling is superb. Well worth reading.

I loved it

Paul Pope's art and storytelling are amazing. This is one of my all-time favorites. Highly recommended!

PP is the man!

I’ve Been Reading And enjoying The Character Batman For 32+ Years Now and have many Great Story’s of his in graphic novel Hard Backs.We have had many takes and incarnations of the Dark Knight From Millers Year One,Jeff Loeb Long Halloween,And most recently Dick Grayson stepping in For Bruce in the Black Mirror by Scott Snyder All of which define the character for me.One Story Which I feel always tends to go under the radar in terms of uniqueness and Being regarded as a classic story is Paul Popes Batman:Year 💯.Set 100 years in the future we open the story to a Monstrous Looking Figure That resembles Batman Being Chased by a pack of Demon Looking Hounds.We Find out that Batman or Whoever This Hell Bat thing is has Been Blamed for a murder they may or may not have committed .That’s all that I will say about the Story so not to spoil anything.Paul Pope Not only does the Story but Also the entirety of the artwork through this whole Deluxe Edition With some of my favourite Panels out of any graphic novel super hero or not.Nightmarish and Frightening at Times the art gives this story A hyper stylised Horror Feel along with the dark toned dialog fits perfectly from beginning to End.A Monster or a Man ?Ill let you decide.In Conclusion after the main story you get three more mini Story’s Called Berlin Batman,Teenage Sidekick and Broken Nose Written/Drawn from Mr Pope plus Art galley and concept Artwork.I personally Love this Dark Knight story that can be taken as Legend or Myth .Along with the Dirty Grey Smoke Fumes,Black Metal Motorcycles, Ice Hockey Wearing Goons,Pitch Black Shadows and neon Lights Splashed with Bright Blood red dripping Colours Creeping down the page.

Good story, relentlessly ugly pictures.

Great book, fast shipping, everything's perfect.

Este es el comic pasta dura que te llega, por aquel que tenga la idea de que llegará el que se anuncia. En mi caso no tuve inconveniente y me gustó mucho el producto. He notado que su precio fluctúa a lo largo del día, de los 700 a los 460, cuestión que me intriga por si alguien me pudiera explicar.
