Batman: Night of the Monster Men Review

Finished reading Batman: Night of the Monster Men, crossing over with the Batman, Nightwing and Detective Comics series as writer Steve Orlando takes the lead, along with current Batman writers Tom King, Tim Seeley and James Tynion IV cowriting  as Batman and his team of heroes are joined by Nightwing to help evacuate Gotham form a hurricane and something much more monstrous. The book opens with Batman, Nightwing, Batwoman evacuating Gotham due to an approaching hurricane with Spoiler and Orphan at a local park on higher ground than the city to keep people safe from any flooding while Clayface has split into multiple police officers to help with the evacuation. Only for an evacuated Gotham to find itself under attack by gigantic monsters leading the heroes to leap into action to protect their home city. Overall this was a great book as brings together the heroes currently in Gotham to help it's citizens while fighting giant monsters. There is a surprising amount of character development with how the characters are dealing with the recent events that recently transpired within the Batman related series. With one of the book's strengths being the fact that it doesn't dwell on previous events for too long, allowing for anyone wanting to read a book featuring Batman fighting giant monsters to easily jump into. The art throughout the book is amazing as the monsters designs feel like they have been ripped out of a supernatural horror story with a mix of classic giant movies in the blend as well. The additional use of the weather with an on coming hurricane allows for some great art with how there's a secondary threat to the heroes and citizens of Gotham. 8/10.
