A decent enough conclusion to No Man's Land that suffers from most of the story being resolved in the previous volume. While it's interesting to follow Lex Luthor's plotting after his entrance in volume four and witness the final push to return Gotham City back to normal, there wasn't a whole lot for me to get excited for in this final entry. After the threat of Two-Face and Gordon's dispute with Batman have been resolved, Joker's last minute appearance feels more tacked-on than a fitting end to this saga. This isn't to say I disliked this volume - there are a couple standout moments, especially revolving around Huntress and Bane - but since it's only here to bridge the gap between NML and the return to Batman's status quo, it's definitely the weakest of this storyline. Sadly, while I appreciate the attempt to leave permanent repercussions of NML, the final consequence our heroes suffer didn't feel earned to me (if you know, you know). Also, Greg Land's tracing is evident in issue zero, and it's really distracting. If you're reading NML you should still read volume five to complete the story, just don't expect a lot out of it.
