 Batman in Barcelona Dragons Knight $6.00 Quantity
Written by Mark Waid
Art by Diego Olmos
Cover by Jim Lee
When a string of bizarre murders hits Spain's beautiful coastal city of Barcelona, The Dark Knight makes solving this crime his top priority. Full of international intrigue, high adventure and even higher stakes, BATMAN IN BARCELONA: DRAGON'S KNIGHT showcases The Caped Crusader in a different type of Gotham - but one no less dangerous! Fan-favorite writer Mark Waid (KINGDOM COME) delivers an exciting, non-stop one-shot full of surprises while Spanish art sensation Diego Olmos (SUPERNATURAL: RISING SON) beautifully illustrates his home city. Featuring a gorgeous cover by best-selling artist Jim Lee (BATMAN, SUPERMAN)! Date Available: 05/28/2009 BONUS REVIEW by Stephen Banas  Now THIS is a Batman comic! Don’t get me wrong I love Morrison’s stuff and all the gritty Frank Miller tales, but give me Paul Dini or anyone else writing Batman as the savvy detective he really is. Mark Waid does a fine job of weaving a tale that mixes action, intrigue and danger with an actual historical legend. As flowing as the story was though, Deigo Olmos’ artwork absolutely dripped off the pages. His style reminds me a little of Matt Wagner, but with a touch more detail. It’s bold without being obnoxious and just does a fantastic job of telling a story, which is great because there are plenty of silent pages that you’ll smile the whole way through. All in all I recommend this a thousand times over and then some. I give it 10 out of 10 Grahams Written by Mark Waid
