The Batman Strikes! (#5)

Great super-action superhero comic. Batman takes on street crime as two bosses decide to take each other out. Both Rupert Thorne and Scarface may want to own the streets, but they do both agree on one thing, Batman has to be taken out. Lots of fun and action in this story as Scarface tries to take out Batman once and for all. Great pure comic action.

The Batman Strikes! (#7)

Mr. Freeze is one of my favourite Batman villains and this just didn't work for me. Freeze is re-imagined so much that he looks like a completely different character, hardly recognizable! Not impressed.
