review:
'Batman Beyond Vol. 1: Escaping the Grave' by Dan Jurgens with art by Bernard Chang, Ryan Sook and Peter Woods, is an appropriate subtitle for the story told between the covers.
The story takes place in a Gotham City of the future. Terry McGinnis was thought to be dead, but he is back as Gotham's Batman. He got his suit and training from Bruce Wayne, who is now dead. The Joker is also dead, but that doesn't stop a large cult of criminals from adopting his persona and running riot in a part of town called Jokerz Town. The Jokerz are up to something big and when Terry finds out, he goes undercover as one of the Jokerz to stop it. Is he up to the job?
I know Batman Beyond from the animated series, and not as a title, but I really enjoyed this graphic novel. I like the future punk elements, like the Bane/Joker mashup character. The characters and story are good, and things seem to be set up for good plot lines to come.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
