    Since I have apparently decided to get into physical comics, I figured this would be as good a place as any to start my foray into Batman. It's been an enjoyable read so far. In my minimal dealings with Batman comics in the past, it was "newer" stories I checked out so it's good to check out an older style of Batman.

    @Pape Badiane, could we change this to a Comic Book One-Shot instead of a Book Series? :)

      Editing … It's a limited series and it came out as a single TPB volume after the thirteen issues, that's why it's a one-shot as a book.

      Editing … The No Man's Land storyline, which took place over the course of a year (just like 'Long Halloween') also got rereleased in trade paperback form and the individual, original issues of the comics these stories first appeared in also no longer get produced. That doesn't necessarily make it a one-shot.

      Editing … It's easier for the website to categorize them as one-shot books (instead of creating two pages, one for the book and one for the series) and it can be read without background stories, as long as it can be read on it's own it should be a comic book one-shot in my opinion.

      Editing … "It's easier to do things the wrong way, so let's spread misinformation, shall we?."; By your definition every single trade paperback ever could be considered a one-shot.

      Editing … No, when it's a book series on its own there are at least two volumes incorporated, and you can't read the second volume without reading the first before, at the risk of missing some steps. #Batman: The Long Halloween stands on it's own because you can read it as a side-story, it was produced as such (starting from Batman: The Long Halloween #1 to #13 and not Batman Vol. 1 #340 to I don't know, #353 for exemple). As long as it isn't included in a Book Series consisting of two volumes minimum, it should be a one-shot book. But I could be wrong anyway, tell me if it absolutely doesn't make sense.

      Editing … Based on what Sha is saying, I don't think we misinforming people. Aren't we just omitting series instead of creating 2 pages for the same piece of content?

      Editing … The long Halloween is a typical "who dunit" murder mystery which has Bruce occupied for exactly 12 months trying to solve one single case. You see, there's a murderer loose in Gotham, killing his victims on every single holiday and Batman has to find out who that guy is or why he's committing these homicides. The story takes place very early on in batman's vigilante career, almost right after "year one". My third favorite Batman story of all time.
