Batman: Year One (2011) – Sam Liu, and Lauren Montgomery

Problems with my computer, and consequently my internet has put a bit of a stopper on me continuing my journeys with The A-Team, so in the interim, I thought I would move on to the next series I wanted to revisit, the fantastic Bruce Timm series based on the Batman DC Comics, Batman: The…
