100 Days of Batman, Day 57

Ground Zero by Jordan B. Gorfinkel and Greg Rucka with art done by Greg Land is a flashback to the very beginning of the No Man's Land story. So why did Huntress assume the mantel of Batgirl? Where was Bruce Wayne during the first few months of No Man's Land when Gotham needed him most? In this one shot issue Gorfinkel and Rucka answer those questions.

I really enjoyed this book. Mostly because I find the character of Huntress to be very intriguing. Now while I was interested in why Huntress decided to pick up the mantel of the Bat it was not a question that required an answer. It still made for a fun little tale that is well WORTH YOUR TIME. The Batman portion of the book serves even less of a purpose to the overall story plot as he was apparently just wallowing in self pity over the fact he was not able to convince the U.S. Congress to help Gotham rather than declare it a "No Man's Land" and abandon both city and its remaining people. Again the book is an enjoyable look into events that took place prior to the main story but ultimately unnecessary.
