Reddit reviews Batman: No Man's Land

A good way to get a feel for fight scenes is to read novels that have them. Honestly when you're talking about any writing mechanic, it can be best to experience the mechanic seamlessly as a reader then reconstruct it after the fact. This will help your fight scenes feel more baked into the narrative and less x+y.

I could recommend Robert Ludlum's Jason Bourne series. The Bourne Identity has pretty visceral prose in fights that never pause or lose a sense of momentum.

Another dependable suggestion would be superhero novels. There aren't many truly great ones but fight scene examples are virtually a guarantee. Two legitimately excellent superhero novels are
SpiderMan The Secret of the Sinister Six

And the novelization of the Batman epic Batman No Mans Land

There's novelizations of some comics that had already been published from the 90s/2000s like Knightfall or No Man's Land, but I have no idea how they compare to just reading the actual comics they're based on. There's also The Sandman: The Dream Hunters which was originally a prose novella later adapted as a comic, that's the only one I know off the top of my head to have gone in that direction of adaptations.

I have this one but I barely started it http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Mans-Land-Greg-Rucka/dp/0671774557/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1346682939&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=batman+no+man%27s+land Give it a look!

so after going on amazon i found a few that i would like to know if you read and enjoyed? 1: 2: 3: 4: really anyone who has read these can say if they liked them.

There are a few. I read this one a few years back after I found it at a used book stand and picked it up for a few dollars. It was pretty good not amazing but I enjoyed the read. If you search on Amazon you can find a few others. http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Ultimate-Andrew-H-Vachss/dp/0446603368/

Or this one: http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Knightfall-Dennis-ONeil/dp/0553572601/

One more: http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Mans-Land-Greg-Rucka/dp/0671774557/

Greg Rucka did a novel adaptation of No Man's Land that is quite good.

Or it's a homage to the No Man's Land novelization.

Found No Man's Land (possibly the only one, since he also wrote the comic story)

You can buy this book for only 7.98 on Amazon

Do yourself a favor and read the novelization of No Man's Land by Greg Rucka. [Here] (http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Mans-Land-Greg-Rucka/dp/0671774557/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1410936281&sr=1-1&keywords=batman+no+mans+land+novel)

I've read the novel but not the comic so im not sure if they are close.
Going to end up reading the comics anyway though.
