Batman: No Man's Land, Vol. 5

A sufficient conclusion to an adequate story arc. The story could have been really good, but it just wasn't.
The flashback, although slightly helpful, arrived 4 volumes too late and was too short to provide any additional background.
The Luthor saga was a magnificent addition to the storyline, even though it was a little rushed at the end.
The Pettit arc was also well done, and I have new admiration for Huntress too.
The Joker's final scheme was a little out-of-the-blue at the end of the No Man's Land story, which definitely deserved more pages in the comic and more build-up. Instead it felt like "Oh no, the Joker's up to something random again; oh well..."
The last couple pages were poignant but also deserved more words to satisfyingly close out the No Man's Land story.
Series Review:
3/5 Stars
The No Man's Land storyline was a great idea with an interesting storyline and a unique way to look at the characters. Unfortunately, the execution was mediocre at best. The novelization of the storyline (listed below) was actually slightly (though, not much) better than the comics. It filled in some of the plot holes and made for a more unified story.
Novel Review:
Now that I have read the comics for Batman: No Man's Land, I have updated my review for the novel.
