While their live action films are of varying levels of quality and entertainment value, I have nothing but good to say about DC COMICS and their animated movie division. For the past ten years or more they have consistently turned out great stories with fantastic animation and stellar voice actoring. It is only appropriate that Gotham By Gaslight gets it's due.
This was the first time that I discovered the genius that is Mike Mignola. I had never seen art like his ever before in a comic book. Instead of showing you everything, Mignola works in shadows and only shows you ENOUGH to get the point. He draws the whole page but then adds black to remove everything that doesn't need to be there. It's mesmerizing to experience as a reader. To some it looks easy but his style hasn't been replicated since. The success of this book allowed Mignola to put out HELLBOY and the world is a much better place for that.

Really looking forward to this one. I like how it is it’s own style instead of that generic quasi anime the last dozen have been. Plus Mignola, c’mon.
true dat, brother.
