After an overlong and over-melancholy intro, we finally get into Nightwing's attempt to reclaim Blackgate Penitentiary for the Bat-Family! What could possibly go wrong... except just about everything? The Bada-Bin! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com...
It's finally time to meet the clown girl! Today we're going to take a look at Harley Quinn's first in-continuity appearance, and talk about how I went about procuring my very own copy of the book! The Bada-Bin! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com...
In what is quite possibly the worst chapter of No Man's Land to date, we get a generic... and odd-banter-filled... battle between Batman and Mister Freeze, in which - get this - our titular hero blows up the Gotham City Power Plant! It's an odd and awful little ditty... join me, won't you? The Bada-Bin! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com...
Back after an extended break for something a little bit different... attempting to answer the question as to why the Justice League didn't just pop into Gotham City and save the day. I say "attempting", because we really don't get much in the way of an actual answer... but, we get some fun action with some throwaway baddies from JLA: Year One all the same. The Bada-Bin! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com...

We also get more GCPD Wolfpac drama from our friends Petit and Foley... who might just have a third member (but who's side is she on?!) The Bada-Bin! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com...
After the Bat-Family reunion in LotDK, it's time to follow the Batman & Robin trail, as they head into Robinson Park to see what's going on with the fruit 'n veg biz.

NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com...
After all these months, it's finally time for our Headsocked Hero to go one-on-one with his arch-nemesis... Nicholas Scratch!

NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com...
In which Jean Paul Valley finally heads toward his epic confrontation with Nicholas Scratch... with a little (read: a lot) of help from the all-new all-different Batgirl!

Quite possibly one of the most vital and powerful single-issue stories of our journey thus far!

The summons has been made... the call to arms is in effect, and so -- we join a pair of Boys Wonder as they traverse the dank sewers in order to make their return to No Man's Land.

NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com...
Wrapping up The Mark of Cain with a sorta-kinda passing of the torch... and a Batman who's just about ready to call in the reserves! The Bada-Bin! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com...
Who's that girl? Today we get introduced to that family Cain... David and his young (unnamed as of yet) daughter. I'm sure we'll never see either of them ever again.

Batman might've banned Robin from re-entering No Man's Land... buuuuuut, he didn't say anything about Young Justice! LOOPHOLE! Today we're hangin' out with the Jr. JLA as they beat up a sub and salad, and Kon-El gets aroused a bunch. It's a bit of a sticky wicket... you'll almost think I'm making it up as I go!

Dancing our troubles away with JPV! Today's episode takes our headsocked hero into the Clocktower where he shares an odd, awkward, and almost disturbing flirtation with a... thirsty... Babs Gordon. Also, a bunch of people in alleys get their throats slashed by a Skull-Headed Lord of the Dance! It's an issue so weird, you'll probably think I'm making it up! The Bada-Bin! NML Crossing on Youtube https://gothamquake.com https://chrisisoninfiniteearths.com weirdcomicshistory@gmail.com...
In which a strange visitor arrives in Gotham City to try his hand at saving the place... only to find out that he might just be completely out of his element.

Following our recent dips into the one-n-dones, Azrael-land, and Anthologyville... we get a "return to form" in No Man's Land storytelling.

It took us awhile... but we're finally back in Azrael-land! Today, our man in the headsock stows away on Nick Scratch's WWII tugboat in order to enter No Man's Land. Along the way, he befriends an old lady who is searching for her runaway daughter... and, hoo boy, their reunion is one you don't want to miss!
