Comic Book Series Review - Batman: Arkham Unhinged

Arkham Unhinged is a comic book series which (unlike last week's comic) allows there to be some character development for the majority of the characters in the game as well as various stories that took place before, during and after the events of Arkham City. This includes character development for Catwoman, Two-Face, Black Mask (who made a cameo at the beginning of the game), Joker, Penguin, the Abramovici Twins, Robin, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc (who also makes a cameo in AC), The Mad Hatter, Vicki Vale, Deadshot, Azrael (the red assassin looking guy who gives Batman a message about his future in AC), The League of Assassins (including Ra's Al Ghul and Talia), Nightwing and many more. It shows how the villains are affected with Batman's mere presence in Arkham City, how both Robin and Nightwing dealt with the Tyger forces (apparently something that Strange clearly overlooked) when they invade Wayne Manor as well as also wrapping up a few things that needed closure from the game including the outcome of the Identity Thief and a few others.

As a whole series, this makes the Arkham City experience more complete. It gave fans what they wanted, the artwork looks great and I hope we get more of this sort of comic book series when AO comes out. 9/10
