 Batman One Bad Day Ras Al Ghul #1 cover a $7.99 Quantity
VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
(W) Tom Taylor (A/CA) Ivan Reis, Danny Miki WHY WON'T BATMAN SAVE THE WORLD?! For centuries Ra's al Ghul has wanted to save the Earth from the worst of humankind, and for centuries he has failed. Recently his greatest obstacle has been the Dark Knight Detective, Batman. Ra's offered Batman a chance to be a part of his new world order, but Batman refused. For years their cold war has raged, but Ra's will have no more. Ra's will remove Batman from the equation and save the world, re-creating it in his image and bringing the peace and prosperity all the good-hearted souls of this Earth deserve. Don't miss this epic tragedy from the all-star creative team of Tom Taylor (Nightwing, Superman: Son of Kal-El, DCeased) and Ivan Reis (Detective Comics, Blackest Night): the last of the One Bad Day specials, and one of the most epic to date.

BONUS REVIEW by Kevin Healy
 What did Lazarus say about death? "It's the pits." Tom Taylor comes close to making excellent bookends of the 'One Bad Day' set of issues. In the end, he falls short because of Lazarus Pits. The biggest moments in the otherwise fine Ra's Al Ghul story are undercut because Ra's lives in a world where death can be reversed. Dramatic underpinnings go out the door at that point. If this had secretly been Damion's 'One Bad Day', it could have been great. If Taylor had set this story AFTER his Riddler One Bad Day story, with a significant change in Bruce's philosophy, it could have been great. Instead? Lazarus pits. The best thing about it is the Ivan Reis artwork. He's been like an updated Neal Adams since he started on Superman, and if anyone's style was going to work best on the Al Ghuls, someone who can play in the Adams sandbox was the right choice. Clean, easy to follow action in every panel, combined with classic movement thru each page, making visual notes clear with every turn. Really grand stuff from Reis. But just Reis. I give it 6 out of 10 Grahams VERY FINE/NEAR MINT
