The Brave and the Bold: Batman and Wonder Woman by Liam Sharp
2.0
Liam Sharp is a stunning artist, and I loved his work on Greg Rucka's Wonder Woman run. For art alone, this is a five-star book.
His writing, though, leaves a lot to be desired.
I love Wonder Woman and I love Irish mythology, so this book should have been right up my alley, but the script is weak and both heroes are wasted in a story that only superficially involves them. Diana and Bruce dance around the edges of the plot. They get no character arcs of their own and never really deliver on the book's promise of an exciting team-up. Instead, the pages are dominated by a stodgy, uninspired cast of mythical Irish beings who we're never given any particular reason to care about, and whose plight ultimately isn't that interesting.
The result is a beautiful-looking book that will bore your pants off.
