Che dire ad Ellis piaccioni i lay-outs di Hitch, non trovo altre ragioni... :lolle:

Questo numero l'ho trovato più interessante però. :ahsisi:

There's a lunatic on the loose and a dead body inside a supposedly impregnable home. Members of the justice system are being murdered, and nobody knows what's happening. Does the Batman have the single clue that's the key to the whole nightmare?

Ellis è di poche parole qui..strano! :asd:

Sembra davvero che stia tirando avanti fino al #12, sarebbero bastati 6 numeri a mio parere, per questa storia.
Le scene d'azione di Hitch sono sempre belle ma vorrei ottenere molte più info leggendo i singoli numeri..

Ok anche questo numero mi ha detto QUALCOSA, maaaa solo dalla seconda metà.

Vediamo cosa farà con i prossimi 6 numeri, ma onestamente mi aspettavo di più dal writer...

The Batman's Grave #6
Written by Warren Ellis
Art by Bryan Hitch, Kevin Nowlan and Alex Sinclair
Lettering by Richard Starkings
Published by DC
Review by Justin Partridge
'Rama Rating: 8 out of 10

Warren Ellis, Bryan Hitch, Kevin Nowlan, and Alex Sinclair's drolly entertaining murder mystery continues in The Batman's Grave #6. The midway point of this maxi-series finds Batman and Jim Gordon caught in the middle of a jailbreak in Arkham Asylum.

While Ellis' script, especially the ongoing procedural elements, will surely shine brighter in a collected edition, The Batman's Grave #6 is a stunning display of this creative team's handle on action. Recalling the visceral tone of Ellis' Moon Knight, Hitch's larger-than-life artwork barrels Batman and Gordon through a brutally entertaining series of set pieces. The issue settles back into a theatrical murder mystery in the final pages as another complication in the case is introduced, but overall, The Batman's Grave #6 is a solid middle installment for the series.

"I like that you think you'll live long enough to retire," says Batman, as he and his stalwart ally Jim Gordon face down a horde of Arkham escapees. Serving as a wryly funny statement of intent from Warren Ellis, the writer then kicks into full-on action mode, aiming the two characters toward escape and the next clue in the case. Fans of old-school Ellis will find a lot to love here as the two banter and batter bad guys in three steadily heightening set pieces.

Bryan Hitch, Kevin Nowlan, and Alex Sinclair also fully show up during these opening sequences, deftly blocking out Ellis' script for the maximum amount of visual effectiveness. The best example of this is the second major sequence, wherein Batman and Gordon face a burly, looming escapee that is so big he gets his own font (in a nice extra detail from letterer Richard Starkings). Keeping with Batman's "no killing" rule, Gordon attempts to subdue the hulking brute with a shot to the leg, cleanly detailed by Hitch and Sinclair with nary any sound effects in sight. Of course, it barely registers to the rampaging inmate, but allows Batman enough time to recover and deliver a brutal leg toss and kick to the head. It's all cleanly executed by the art team for the highest visual impact, giving the action a real grace and tactility.

The back half of the issue, admittedly, is less exciting, even as Ellis delivers more darkly hilarious characterization for Batman, Alfred, and Gordon. After realizing another of Arkham's "unique" residents have been released by the still-unseen enemies behind the main plot, Batman starts in doing background on the man, whose pathology includes frightening his victims to death and then eating their hearts. As he works, Alfred is allowed another grimly funny monologue, which directly leads into the next lead in the case. As Ellis develops the clues, he delves deeper into the Batman/Gordon dynamic and fleshes out his unsettling take on how Batman investigates murders — referring to himself as both victim and perpetrator as he works the details of the crime. Mileage may vary with the more investigative elements of this issue, which do read a bit dry after the roller-coaster of an opener, but at the very least Ellis is keeping a consistently fun tone for his cast.

It's just a shame that Bryan Hitch and Alex Sinclair aren't given much else to do following the battle royale in Arkham. Their artwork is still nicely staged, which is a real boon to Ellis' clue-heavy closing scenes, but none of these pages have anything close to the pop of the opening. Instead, they foster a new mood of dread as Batman investigates the new crime scene, complete with a new victim. As Ellis speaks aloud the clues through Batman, Hitch and Sinclair work hard to make them clear in the visual landscape of the set, blocking Batman in such a way that he is usually indicating what needs to be seen and when. It's not the most exciting of ways to be sent into the next issue, but it is functional.

So we are left with a new suspect, new victim, and new layer to the mystery as The Batman's Grave reaches its midpoint. But even with the new elements, Warren Ellis, Byran Hitch, and Alex Sinclair have found a fun, consistent tonality and visual language for this series, one that looks steady enough to carry them through the remaining six issues. Though we still don't know who is actually digging The Batman's Grave just yet, #6 confidently shows we will have visceral fun continuing to try and find out.

Per fortuna un numero con un buon mix di azione e investigazione.
Trovo però il pg di Gordon un po'..lamentone.. :mmm:
Batman e Alfred (specialmente quest'ultimo) sono caratterizzati bene.

Bisognerebbe però stringere un po' i tempi Ellis..

The Batman knows his enemy. He knows what his enemy wants. What he doesn't know is why. Can the Dark Knight get inside the deranged mind of a man waging war on Gotham City's justice system?
