Overview:
Writer: Frank Miller
Artist: David Mazzucchelli
Publisher: DC Comics
After writing one of the best comic book stories and (arguably) the best Batman book ever, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Frank Miller turned the tables and write Batman: Year One. Year One is practically the opposite of The Dark Knight Returns. While in TDKR, Bruce Wayne has retired the mantle of Batman and is in his final days, Batman: Year One takes us all the way back to the beginning in Frank Miller’s retelling of the Batman origin. How does it stack up to other Batman books? And does it live up to Frank Miller’s legendary legacy?
