BATMAN #445-447 MARCH - MAY 1990 BY MARV WOLFMAN, JIM APARO, MIKE DECARLO, ADRIENNE ROY, JOHN COSTANZA, BRIAN BOLLAND AND ANTHONY TOLLIN

An apprentice of the KGBeast declared his intentions of assassinating ten people that were essential for Glasnot.... with the only purpose of making the soviet union great again.

SCORE: 7

It’s... a story that happened.

I don’t know... I don’t have nostalgia for “ten nights of the beast”, so this follow-up story doesn’t really feel that interesting to me. I also think that, the first time I read this, I didn’t have “ten nights of the beast” on my hands... and I would have to say that... you can read it without reading the original. Everything is explained.

It’s not a bad story, but sometimes Wolfman fills up all the panels with words, and that makes certain action scenes go slower than they should. The non-action scenes, however, are much stronger.

We have the return of Vicky Vale, who was in limbo for a couple of years at this point. She doesn’t do much here, but Wolfman was clearly trying to set up a supporting cast.

Like this Rebecca Curley, who I don’t remember ever appearing again. By the way, I like how this page was inked. Aparo is usually not that great at drawing teenagers, but you wouldn’t be able to tell by looking at this page. And I am under the impression that it was DeCarlo who smoothed Tim’s face.

In the past I said that Aparo’s art was feeling a little dated compared to other books that were being published at the time. But here, at least in the first two chapters, Batman looks a bit darker. And I feel like the art team might have felt inspired by the 1989 movie, which was probably very fresh in their mind when this story was created.

But then Batman went back to being more blue and grey.

So, what about the story and the NKVDemon? There is not much to say... it’s basically “ten nights of the beast” but in Russia. And Batman fails to save everyone but the president.

At the time, the KGBeast was... probably dead. It wasn’t very clear what his fate was, but Batman basically left him to die... fun times.
