YEAR ONE: BATMAN/RA'S AL GHUL #1
Paul Gulacy is no stranger to the bat-universe, he’s done some strong work on Catwoman lately, and he continues doing it here. Along with Palmiotti and some really innovative colors from Laurie Kronenberg, he creates two distinctive styles – one more-or-less standard superhero style for the contemporary scenes and a great, stylized vision for the flashback scenes set in the far east a long time ago.

YEAR ONE: BATMAN/RAS AL GHUL #1
[The art team] captures the gruesome effects of violence, fire and the unimaginable pain that serves as the premise without getting too graphic. But what I really appreciated is how they convey the exotic and intimate, natural qualities of a private garden centuries in the past. The line-art approaches and the intensity of the coloring shifts to instill a mythic, historical look to the flashbacks.
