Contagion

Batman

Ryan LaFerney

Contagion is the name of a story arc that ran through the various Batman comic book series. It concerns the outbreak of a lethal disease in Gotham City, and Batman's attempts to combat it. The events of this story led into Batman: Legacy and Batman: Cataclysm, which itself leads into Batman: No Man's Land.

Bane has spent a lifetime on the South American island of Santa Prisca. The time he spent as the toughest inmate in their worst prison led him to develop berserker strength, savage intellect and unparalleled megalomania. In Gotham City, Batman begins to feel he has lost his edge as he is forced to deal, in rapid succession, with the returning villain Black Mask and his gang, a crazed killer called Metalhead and a sharpshooter assassin hired by an imprisoned mobster to murder Commissioner Gordon. Part of a massive 25th anniversary recut of the entire BATMAN- KNIGHTFALL saga, this graphic novel collects BATMAN- VENGEANCE OF BANE #1, BATMAN #484-491 and DETECTIVE COMICS #654-658.

Prelude to Knightfall

Cat H

3.75-4 stars. I have been looking to re-enter comic books, graphic novels and manga so this is just the first of many hopefully! I loved this collection and how the issues were presented in groupings. I found it very accessible, especially if you are just starting out in the Batman world. I want to just devour the rest of the Knightfall saga . The only reason it isn’t a full 4 stars is because it followed a couple villains I didn’t care for, but I mean that’s how the comics were issued at the time for stretching . Just a small bug though and nothing that can’t be overlooked.
