Neal Adam's Batman Odyssey

[Naked Shia]

Batman Odyssey is the kind of work which is so lame it becomes fun. What a horrible writer Adams is! Which is a shame, because his art is still really good to me.

I finished reading the hardcover last night. Let me say, first, that I don't regret one bit having bought this book. As a Batman and Neal Adams fan, this was a quite a treat. Neal Adams still has "it"! Story-wise, I very much understand the critics, as it can be a bit muddled. I personally enjoyed the fantastical elements, being a big fan of the stuff of Edgar Rice Burroughs. It reminded me of how Ralph Bakshi's Spider-Man cartoons put the character in these kinda' outrageous adventures in outer space, in another dimension, or on the bottom of the earth(looking foreward to reading Space-Punisher). Wacky stuff, but somehow fun!

It's not a book that I'm likely to "read" again, like I did The Long Halloween or TDKR, but it is a visual lush that I can joyfully look through again and again!

I too have the hardcover. IT's definitely a book I wanted to have in my collection, because the art is gorgeous, and the story makes it.... something unique.
