Batman Lovecraft? Yes all around! And the art is superb. Really captures the feel of the mythos and noir vibe. A must for Batman and Lovecraft fans. ( )

Astonishing meld of Lovecraft Mythos & Batmythos that works far better than it ought ( )

Batman meets 1920s Noir meets Hellboy meets Lovecraft.

Mignola only did the cover art, and it is appealing and all, but Nixey does the actual comic in a less abstract facsimile of Mignola's style that I kinda like better. Is that blasphemy? Probably.

Pacing was solid, story was atmospheric. It did feel a bit cramped - there's a LOT of Lovecraft and Batman characters/tropes in very little space. Some of them felt like they served the plot well enough, like the Lizard, but others, like Poison Ivy seemed more included just to include them. While I loved the cosmic horror take on their characters, perhaps they would have been better as concept art at the end instead?

Batman doesn't feel like Batman here. His personality, motivations, dialogue are just off enough that it isn't creepy or anything, just difficult to connect with or conceptualize as Batman.

Overall I loved the art, the flavor, the atmosphere. It feels like there's real enthusiasm from the creators and its infectious. But enough is off that I can't give 5 stars. ( )

When Grant Morrison wrote Arkham Asylum to blow Bat-minds in 1989, he infused Gotham City with actual occultism, but in terms of the Yog-Sothothery suggested by "Arkham," he didn't make any significant impositions. He certainly didn't go half as far as Mike Mignola and Richard Pace's Doom that Came to Gotham. The latter is part of the DC "Elseworlds" imprint, and it reminded me of Neil Gaiman's Marvel 1602 with the full transposition of a multi-superhero character matrix into another setting and time. For Doom that is the Lovecraftian 1920s. Originally a three-issue limited series, the breaks between issues have vanished in the trade edition that collects them into a single graphic novel.

Besides Batman, Alfred, and Bruce Wayne's wards (none of whom have Robin or Nightwing identities or powers), key characters include Oliver Queen (not quite Green Arrow), Barbara Gordon (not Batgirl, but certainly some sort of Oracle), Jason Blood (every bit the Demon), Harvey Dent (who doesn't start as Two-Face), Talia al Ghul, and Ras al Ghul (this world's version of Abdul Alhazred). Alternate, Cthulhvized versions of such Bat-villains as Mister Freeze and Poison Ivy are also clever and outre.

Nixey & Janke's internal art is suited to the mood of the story, but it pales against Mignola's covers. To fully enjoy this book requires appreciation of both the Lovecraft source material and the Batman franchise as it has evolved into the 21st century. Once those are granted, it is a fast, broody, macabre, and worthwhile read.

A clever mash-up of the Batman universe with the Cthulhu Mythos, as only writer Mike Mignola could tell it. Set in a weird & twisted victorian / steampunk version of Gotham, with glimpses into Arctic expeditions a la "The Mountains of Madness" and the iblis-haunted deserts of "The Nameless City" An ancient menace, author of an evil tome, means to summon a tentacled "Lurker at the Threshold" into our world to work ultimate destruction. This is the Lovecraftian Batman adventure you never knew you wanted. ( )
