Life of Billy DixonLife of Billy Dixon is a compelling narrative of the "wild, free life" on the Great Plains frontier. Ride with Billy Dixon to a high point on the plains and look out over a nearly solid mass of buffalo that stretches in every direction as far as the eye can see.

Life of Billy Dixon is a compelling narrative of the "wild, free life" on the Great Plains frontier. Ride with Billy Dixon to a high point on the plains and look out over a nearly solid mass of buffalo that stretches in every direction as far as the eye can see. Stand with Billy Dixon at Adobe Walls, in the unsettled Texas Panhandle, as hundreds of Comanche, Kiowa, and Cheyenne warriors on horseback charge out of the pre-dawn darkness toward a few dozen buffalo hunters. Crouch down in desperation with Billy Dixon at the Buffalo Wallow Fight as he and a few wounded and dying men lie in a shallow depression on the plains surrounded by howling Indians. In the Life of Billy Dixon the Great Plains frontier is seen through the knowing eyes of a participant who lived that frontier experience and who fortunately left an accurate and engaging record for those who followed.Binding Type: Paperback

Where it all starts
If you buy this you are about to start reading the greatest Batman run since... let's just say this is the greatest run on Batman. I may be over hyping this, the story arcs collected here are good on their own, but until you read the next volume and return to this one, your not getting the whole story. So it's hard to say how great this story is, and how great it gets. I would only get this if you plan on buying the other 7 Morriosn Batman books that follow this. Black Glove, RIP, Batman Reborn, Batman vs Robin, Time and the Batman, Return of Bruce Wayne, and Batman Must Die!. In that order.
You'll have fun reading this run.

Visionary
If you're familiar with the work of Grant Morrison than you'll know this book was never intended to be read as a stand alone work. This is just the first few stories in a long run that culminate in Batman Inc. So, keep that in mind if you plan to jump on here. It's all or nothing.
I'm always amazed with Morrison's ability to craft smart, universe encapsulating, severely polarizing stories in almost every one of his runs. His meticulous plotting, spot on characterization, and willingness to take chances are just three of the plethora of reasons to buy this book.
If you like to be rewarded for paying attention and are looking for something more from your comics than "monster-of-the-week" this is for you.

I don't know, something's missing
I like the idea of Bruce Wayne being a dad - and with Ra's Al Ghul's daughter too. But is it just me or does it seem like there are gaps in the story; maybe there are other books in the story arc not in this graphic novel? When I got to the end of the book I was scratching my head saying "Is that it?"
If you like Batman I suggest going to Forbidden Planet or your local comic shop and asking one of the people there to give you all the books around the arc so it makes sense.

A new Wayne
This book introduces Damian Wayne as the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul. Bruce does not allow Damian to be Robin in this story as Tim Drake still is. Plus Bruce does not like Damian's attitude toward Alfred and Tim. This story does help to show just how talented (and violent) the future Robin is though.
