Batman: Bride of the Demon HC #1 (1990)

Batman: Bride of the Demon features numerous fights, daring escapes, devious disguises and a climactic showdown between Ra's and the Bat. Still, it doesn't feel as textured as the other two books in the trilogy, Son of the Demon and Birth of the Demon. Tom and Eva Grindberg's art is a welcome throwback to the '70s and shows some excellent command of storytelling, but it's the story itself that just isn't as captivating as Barr's previous Ra's work. Bride of the Demon is a necessary component of the Ra's trilogy and a book that Batman fans should read. However, don't expect to be blown away by this work. Still, compared to much of the excessively moody Batman tales of the past few years, Bride is a great read.
