See how the fates of Batman and Dylan Dog intertwined in the past through their lethal nemeses: The Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime of Gotham City, and Professor Xabaras, a mad genius with a taste for bringing the dead back to life!

Joker is in London to seal a hellish pact with Dylan Dog’s nemesis, the Mephistophelian Xabaras! The doorbell of Craven Road No. 7 screams, and beyond the doorway Bruce Wayne appears. For the Nightmare Investigator, an incredible adventure begins side by side with the Dark Knight. They’ll have to forge an uneasy alliance, putting aside their differences in order to successfully confront and defeat an evil that comes from the past…

The second issue of the bombastic team-up between DC’s Dark Knight and Sergio Bonelli’s Nightmare Investigator is here! Batman hunts through London to find any trace of the kidnapped Catwoman, and all of his clues are turning up smiles…while Dylan Dog must enlist the help of John Constantine to track down a serial killer…a serial killer he already put in the ground years before. Life is hell in more ways than one in this gargantuan issue that will bring you straight to hell (but will it take you back?).

The art was the main selling point for me, I loved the atmosphere was just fantastic. The story itself was a little simplistic and reminded me of the crossovers from the 90's but it was fun none the less.
