I never write reviews, but this run on Detective Comics is so horrendous that I felt compelled to write a few words.
Starting with the (somewhat) good, the artwork is decent. Dark and gritty, with some interesting layouts, it is well-suited to the subject matter. People can be divided on how good Tony Daniel's art is (his James Gordon is pretty bad), but, by and large, the guy can draw well.
Now to the bad. The writing is some of the worst you will find. I'm not expecting the literary prowess of Alan Moore, but generally the standard of writing is extremely poor, and there really is some cringe-worthy stuff ("Looks like someone was taking a bath.... a bloodbath." Really?) The plots however are far worse than the writing. There is no cohesion or direction to the plot and as a reader there is no incentive to care about what is going on. There doesn't seem to be a point to anything and many revelatory incidences are never resolved. Essentially, the book comprises random, nonsensical events barely linked together.
This edition collects issues 1-7. Issues 1-4 cover the Dollmaker arc, which is pretty terrible. Issues 5-7 cover the Penguin arc (if you can call it that), and is honestly one of the worst comic book arcs I have ever read. Beyond these issues, the series subsequently gets worse. The Two-Face back-up stories later on are laughably bad in both premise and writing (Two-Face supposedly has a legitimate chance at getting his DA job back, gets kidnapped by ninjas etc. I wish I was making this up).
In summary, this has decent art, but truly abysmal writing and plotting.
