Somebody Else's Nimrod

Batman: Prodigal

This is a distinctly old-school book, and not in a particularly appealing way. The dialogue can be downright laughable--there's nothing that says "old-fashioned comics" like a teenage boy shrilly analyzing his partner's emotions with! constant! exclamation points! The plot isn't incredibly well-put-together; there's no true plot arc, and the most complicated story ends in a puzzling manner. The art ranges from the silly to the embarrassing.

However, the ending is pure, sweet Bruce & Dick heroin, straight to the vein. If you want to know these characters, you really do need to read this book, for that reason alone.
