The Brave and the Bold: Batman and Wonder Woman by Liam Sharp
2.0
I love me a team up. I didn’t love this team up but on paper I was very excited for another Brave and the Bold book. But this, if it continues, is not going to have a rotating team but a continued story by Liam Sharp. Because at the end of this it says book one.
I want to get it out of the way now that the art is stunning and looks very good. Even if every man has the same five o’clock shadow and ripping six pack. The art and visuals are the best part of this comic. My main problem is for even for all the good art there isn’t much story here to utilize that art.
Wonder Woman is called upon by an Irish myth figure to help solve a mystery. So she goes and gets Batman. Who was also investigating something that this realm was the source of. And he’s grappling with magic, which gets left on the floor it seems.
Then they take a backseat so two brothers can fight over a realm. One of them evil and serving something and the other good and pure and just trying to save his people.
The comic is also dialogue heavy. Lots and lots of it and it hampers it. Because it tries to explain so much.
Wouldn’t recommend just go read some old Brave and the Bold or start a new fantasy series. This tries to have both but doesn’t have the writing for it.
2 stars.
