03/10/2003: scattered stories...
Aargh. Okay, so I'm trying to ease into the Batverse, and I get back issues of Nightwing and Gotham Knights and then I come across things like these, in the March 2001 issues of the Batverse there's this story "Officer Down!", and you know how the parts are scattered? Some research showed that:
Batman #587 is Part 1
Batgirl #12 is Part 2
Robin #86 is Part 3
Birds of Prey #27 is Part 4
Catwoman #90 is Part 5 (that is the second Catwoman series not the current one)
Nightwing #53 is Part 6
Detective Comics #754 is Part 7
Gotham Knights #13 is Part 8
And all those issues are more expensive than the non-crossover stories of that time, usually costing about twice as much (when they're available at all) as the issues before and after them, obviously because so many more people had to buy them just to follow a plot in their series. I mean wtf?! It took me half an hour of research just to find out in which issues I might find the other parts, and it doesn't seem like there's a paperback either. Now I'm wondering, is the story worth it, or should I just skip the respective Nightwing and Gotham Knights issues and move on?
