read that this was a good series. The individual comics are easy to locate on ebay 1-6, but the Trade paperback is alot of money and rare. Either way can any of you recommend if this is a good one or not? Worth the price of admission in other words.

I've got it, but I've yet to read it. I'll get back to you tomorrow (or later today, depending on your time zone)...

Are you familiar with the character Eitrigg? He appears in the comic so that might confuse ye. =p Otherwise it's fun read and alot of ideas/content were borrowed from the comic to this game. :)

Well, got around to reading Arkham Asylum - Living Hell. I gotta say, I came away with mixed feelings. The narrative flows nicely (with the exception of one little bit I didn't realise was a flashback at first) and the artwork is stylised just enough that it creates a slightly off-kilter feeling appropriate to any story set in an asylum. However it doesn't capture the oppressive nature of Arkham as well as the art in A Serious House on Serious Earth. Indeed the whole thing felt perhaps a little too light hearted for an Arkham story. Worth a read, but if you can pick up the individual issues cheaper than the trade paperback then that's the way I'd go...

Isn't that character the demon who is part of Bruce's friend who has ties to Merlin?

Living Hell is one of my fav underrated GNs.
I highly recommend it.

How about Batman Forensic science. It is a book about how Batman utilizes his detective skills to solve cases. It is more a book than a GN though.
