Gotham Adventures #34 - "Memorable Issues of 2001"?

[James Harvey]

Columnist for ww.comicbookresources.com put out his "Memorable Issues of 2001" list today and included was Batman: Gotham Adventures #34. Here's what he said about it:

Batman: Gotham Adventures #34: It’s tough to pick just one story from the run that Scott Peterson and Tim Levins have had on this book. I’m sure in a couple of days I’ll change my mind and want to go with another one. For now, I’ll stick with this issue, which features Maxie Zeus and enough stabs at Hollywood to keep Norman Bates happy. It’s a seriously warped story about the fine line that divides movies and reality.

Is it?? Were the list entitled "Poorest Isses of 2001", I think it would be much harder to pick to pick *just* one...

Actually that was one of the few (as in out of the past 35 issues Peterson and Levins massacred!) that I enjoyed. Mostly because Maxie returned and the whole thing took place on a movie set...and not some lame, coincidentally Greek builing that just happened to be around Gotham. The whole theme park/film shoot thing confused the heck out of me, but it wasn't as bad as the usual garbage we get served.

My other favorites were the Bane issue, cause it added a new (if uncharacteristic) twist to his development, the Clayface story (even if the whole thing with the kid made no sense whatsoever!), the surprise Catwoman story (cause the art on her was pretty good and Peterson at least tried to keep part of what Templeton had done to her relationship with Batman) and...

I think there's another one I enjoyed...but I can't recall. I also enjoyed the recent Arkham story, mainly because of the Joker pages (certainly not for the laughable conclusion!), but all in all, those are the only stories I'd consider part of the Gotham Adventures continuity. All the rest just fill up space in my comic's boxes!
