Did anyone else read this? I like Batman, but I usually don't pick up his stuff. I'd read a review that said it was one of the best issues of Batman in the last decade so I decided to try it. I thought it was awesome, personally. I was wondering what everyone else thought and if they thought it was actually one of the best single Batman issues in the last 10 years.

I loved it. Really genius.

Just finished it. Awsome piece of work.

Real good

Amazing issue. The best Batman story in years.

Certainly a very good issue.

A very good issue indeed. I'm now a Z/B Shipper...

Its a stand alone comic? Like if I got it I wouldnt need an arc to understand what the heck is going on?

You can read it alone, though it's the first part of a two parter.

I haven't been keeping up with this series, but i heard this issue was good and figured i'd check it out. It read fine.

Very good issue.

I loved the issue. I wouldn't go as far as to say it's one of the best issues in years but it's really entertaining

Very good issue indeed. Well played by the Joker

May i ask for a quick summary before i go and buy it on monday.

Bat's goes after a magician and ends up in a tight spot with an old "friend"

i dont get why Dc continues to give joker so much gosh darn credit.. he's just batshit insane, he's no criminal mastermind. and why doesnt he age? plus i always thought that zatanna was a younger woman than bruce, i didnt inderstand in the flashback they were the same age, so doies that mean that she is in her mid to late 30s like he is? *scratches chin in wonderment*

Actually Joker is in fact a genius.

He doesn't age because it's a comicbook
Hell Batman should be . . . like 68 right now if you go by real time.

I just thought it was ok. Shrug.

Maybe he's got a great health plan and naturally produces tons of endorphins. srug

One of the best Batman comics in years.

I loved all the scenes with Zatanna. Definitely an underrated character who needs to have some kind of predominant position in a monthly series.

Agreed, I'd trade Zatanna for the monkey in shadowpact.

What trade her for the monkey, are you crazy? Why not have both in the comic????????
