Of course everyone has their own opinions and tastes, but I'd like you to help me.
I've just read (for the first time) the Knightfall TPB. I've enjoyed it a lot. But I found it a little long, especially the parts with Jean Paul as Batman. Many of you no doubt consider Jean Paul totally key in the story, and he is, but I am simply not interested in him. I would have been happier with fewer issues and Jean-Paul's part reduced to half.
The thing is, now I am suppossed read Knightquest. But Bruce Wayne is still on a wheelchair, and out of the country with his own task. And I think the whole part centres on Jean-Paul. Is it true? Would you recommend me to read Knightquest anyway, or could I just skip it? Should I read only "The Search"? And if you think that it is essential to read Knightquest, do you know where I should insert the issues of The Search in chronological order?
