Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham

Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham #1-4

by Rafael Grampá

When you case your own shadow…it leads you into the abyss.

Batman knows intimately even the darkest and most irredeemable streets of Gotham City, but when an all-new rogues gallery of depraved villains emerges from its murky depths, he will come to find that he hardly knows himself. A serial killer is on the loose, and while the murder victims seem random at first, every clue draws Batman closer to the terrifying truth—that they are all connected, not just to each other…but to him. Batman will have to contend with the very nature of evil—including that which lurks inside in the darkest corners of his own heart—to face what’s coming for his city.

Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham brings Eisner Award-winning creator Rafael Grampá’s twisted vision of both the Dark Knight and Gotham City to life in this thrilling deluxe edition that will reach its icy black tendrils into the rotting heart of human nature and leave you gasping for breath—and for more!

4.5⭐️

I read each of the individual issues that have been released as the fourth and final chapter has not yet been released 8 months after the release of issue 3, and nearly 2 years after the start of the comic. It is gorgeously illustrated with a compelling story, and that is why I am giving it such a high rating despite its prolonged hiatus.

Art is pretty rad, albeit disturbing at times. But I did not like the story, despite it having some interesting concept. Last chapter will probably come out months from now, but I'm definitely not gonna care when it releases.

art style was sorta neat, but i didn't love the story. the cult thing was kinda interesting, but yeah idk, don't think it was my cuppa tea overall
