Customer Reviews: Currently 3/5 Stars. by: Pat Shand (Freeport, NY USA) on Friday, 13-June-2008 DC was definitely aiming to please Brian K. Vaughans huge (and growing) fanbase when they put out this hardcover collection of Vaughans old runs on Batman and his two issues on Wonder Woman. As Vaughans introduction, which is a great read in itself, tells us, each of these stories are connected because they deal with identity. The theme is strong in the earlier stories in the volume and... well, Ill tell you a bit about each story. Batman: Close Before Striking- The Batman/Matches Malone vs. the Ventriloquist story spans three issues and is very friendly to newcomers like myself. Like any Brian K. Vaughan story, there are major twists at the end of and during each issue. This miniseries reads as good as anything hes done in recent years, and takes Batman to a very dark psychological place. The closing issue was a bit heavy handed with the identity crisis stuff and lost the subtlety of the first two issues, but it didnt take away from the overall arc of the story, which was a good one. Batman: Mimsy Were the Borogoves- Only Vaughan would write a Batman vs. Jabberwock comic. And only Vaughan could make it good. The story is faced paced, very psychological, and delves into what makes the Mad Hatter tick, and how the Hatter thinks he could be understood... only thing is, that involves turning his doctor into a Jabberwock. It wasnt campy at all, and Brian handles the comic with grace that it seems hes always had. (I hadnt read the next tale yet) Wonder Woman: A Piece of You- No good at all. As youre reading this, you wont care what happens to Wonder Woman, if she beats Clayface, or if she stays looking like Donna for the rest of her life. The dialogue is the clunkiest Brian has ever wrote, the plot itself is silly, and Vaughan deals with the identity theme in a way here that shows that he HASNT always had that grace. Its worth noting that this was the earliest of all of these comics, so he was still growing as a writer. But how can one defend ending a book on the line Diana, if theres one thing YOUVE taughe me, its that its not WHAT youre made of... its how you USE it. What is this, an after school special? Major, major points taken away. Batman: Skullduggery- I wont say very much about this story, because its short and it relies on a reveal about four pages into it... but its great. It introduces a new Batman villian that never did but should have caught on. Overall, its a book well worth having. The Wonder Woman stories take away from the overall rating in a large way, and shouldnt have been included here on the first place. The spine says Batman: False Faces. The title is Batman: False Faces. Having a Batman villain in the Wonder Woman story isnt enough reason to include this in a Batman book. Instead of the Wonder Woman story, more time should have been spent on making sure the pages of the book dont have the thickness of tracing paper, which they do. 6/10 by: Pat Shand on Friday, 13-June-2008 Currently 3/5 Stars. by: Andrew Shaffer (Davenport, Iowa) on Monday, 9-June-2008 While this Brian K. Vaughan collection is marketed as a Batman book, it actually contains three Batman stories and one two-part Wonder Woman story. While the two characters are shown together on the cover, they never actually team up in any of the collected stories (Wonder Woman does face off against a Batman villain, Clayface). While Vaughan fans will snap this book of his early super-hero stories up, Batman fans will be left feeling like victims of false marketing. by: Andrew Shaffer on Monday, 9-June-2008 Currently 3/5 Stars. by: G. YEO (Singapore) on Sunday, 9-March-2008 Ah, this book is labelled as a Batman book. It features the origins of Matches Malone - Batmans underworld alter ego - in a well executed tale to the Batman Canon - but (WARNING) it also features 2 issues from a Wonder Woman comic with Clayface without Batman (the only relevance being that Clayface was an old Batman villain.) What gives?? Brian K. Vaughn is a good writer, but sticking Wonder Woman in this compilation was a serious if misleading editorial move - since the cover would make it seem that were about to witness a team-up between the 2 characters. Boo to DCs misintentions to make a fast buck. False faces indeed! by: G. YEO on Sunday, 9-March-2008
