I was so into the al-Ghul’s family history that I’d have still enjoyed the comic without Batman! We see their story unfold over the course of the book but it’s told well so it never feels overly complicated or the flashbacks awkwardly placed. So this was unexpectedly awesome! Rucka introduces us to new character Nyssa and her conflicted and complex relationship with Ra’s clearly and compellingly. But Ra’s daughter, Nyssa, has other plans for her hated father and she’s going to use her half-sister Talia to help punish him… Ra’s is dying but makes a deal with Batman: give him a Pit and in return he’ll give him a way to speak to his dead mother and father again.

Now, one of the guys in the band was named Ransom Riggs, which is the name of an author, and I wonder if the author of this book knew this. All the guys definitely had their own personalities, and their own reasons why Lilith should pick them. All of the characters were definitely messed up, they all had very dark pasts, and so you could see why they were all the way they were. Then, well you have to be okay with menage stories, because Lilith will have all of the members of the band to choose from. First, you have to like rock star romances.
