I had the chance to meet Mike Barron at a convention and get an autographed copy of The Brute: Chasing Shadows. He is a really nice and talented guy, I deeply enjoyed the dark and brooding story (chapter 2 is my favorite, followed closely by chapter 4) and the art made me feel like I was part of Bruce's madness. Very good read, definitely don't skip this one if you're a fan of dark action comics.
