No Man's Land for the easy reader

This kids version of No Man's Land was an extremely well laid out book. It described how Gotham City became a No Man's Land in an easy to read format. I liked this book for two main reasons. First, it was short and sweet. It didn't waste time on meaningless details that children wouldn't care about anyway. Second, this book was consistent with the comic books. I am a regular BATMAN reader and I found that this book was well adapted for young readers.

Batman is always the link between Comics and Reality

What can a normal Human being do when the earth rumbles, What can a normal human being do when all the buildings fall and when children, women and men scream without anyone being able to hear them. Batman and his fellow protectors of gotham explore the tragic experience of being victims of an earthquake with no posibilities, beyond the ones their own skills can give them, also being victims of the pressure of a society full of sick and mentally divergent criminals. That will take advantage of any opportunity that luck,time or nature will give to them. An earthquake is one of them. ! Now, it's time to get Gotham city back! No man's land pictures how a group of Heroes try to return and reclaim the ruins of a city that once was their home. with all odds against and a community ruled by crime, madness and despair. this mission is almost impossible for a Normal Human Being, the thing is: Is Batman a Normal human Being.The cool thing about Batman is that people can relate, I'ts like when there was an earthquake in Colombia and one in Turkey, I showed my father (who works in Disasters Prevention and aid, all over the world) the series of cataclysm, aftershock and No Man's Land and he could totally recall some events. Of course without the poetry, the action and the fiction that every writer and penciller of these comics put into the story
