Batman is still beating up pedos and thinks that taking out one sleezy pedo ring overseas fixes everything. Mediocre artwork with an okay story. Glad its over with.
I purchased the Ace Double this appears in at a used book store for the Barrington novel, but was also happy to give this Barrett (an author previously unknown to me) novel a try. I would say that I enjoyed the first three-quarters of this book more than I expected, in that, despite a gratuitous early cross-species lesbian narrowly averted rape scene, the setting and its aliens were intriguing and even at times inspired, and that it offered an underlying mystery that left me curious. Unfortunately the ending was truly awful. I would recommend this only to those who are looking for an affirmation that, when the going gets tough, even the toughest of women collapse into a quivering pile of neediness desperate for a manly man to take care of their problems.… (mais)

In this story Batman seems so shocked about all things leading to child abuse. How is he shocked about this? It seems far fetched that a vigilante would be ignorant when it comes to child abuse. I will be reading volume 2 since I have it. The artwork isn't the greatest.
