When I picked up the current run for Batman: Black and White two months ago, I first read the fourth and fifth issues because those were the only available copies I could buy at the time. I received the latter issue more warmly than the former, to be honest. Basically, B&W is a collection of flash fiction concerning Batman and these stories are drawn in pencil illustrations as the title suggests. I have always been intrigued with the concept of writing and drawing Batman in black and white like
Six styles on Batman: the kitsch pop-art, foolish and nonsense, almost psychedelic, to a 60's Batman ("Don't Know Where, Don't Know When" - written by Chip Kidd / illustrated by Michael Cho), the deforming (and engaged) sketches which fit like a rotten glove on a "Batman Zombie" (written and illustrated by Neal Adams), the funny and clean mangai on "Justice is Served" (written by Joe Quinones / illustrated by Maris Wicks), the psychological thriller "Driven" (written by John Arcudi / illustrated...
So, I think this was a great start.
I like the concept of having a variety of Batman stories collected together, especially since each was a little different. I have more issues to read through, so we'll see how the idea holds up.
Brilliant return of the critically acclaimed Batman: Black and White series gets off to a tremendous start. Maris Wicks' story stands out as she writes a great Harley and Ivy tale, though, for better or worse, Neal Adams' Batman: Zombie story steals the issue. Read the full review here!
I hope DC keeps making stuff like this, it's brilliant. 4.5 stars
These vignettes grant glimpses of the good, the bad, the absurd and the hokey-pokey of Gotham City. From Harley and Poison Ivy dispensing kick-ass justice while Batman stands by benignly (or helplessly) to the uber-weird Zombie Batman, each artist renders their vision of a glance into Batman's world and legacy.
A bunch of mini stories from different artists and writers. It's a nice collection of various stories that give different viewpoints of Batman and his enemies. It's not bad, it's not great, but it's still good enough to check out.
That Neal Adams story was great, I'd love for him to do a series of issues like that.
