"No Man’s Land" is an American comic book crossover storyline that ran for the whole of 1999 through the ''Batman'' comic book titles published by DC Comics. The story architecture for "No Man's Land" and the outline of all the Batman continuity titles for 1999 were written by cartoonist Jordan B. Gorfinkel. The lead-up story began with the "Cataclysm" story arc, which described a major earthquake hitting Gotham City. This was followed by the storylines "Aftershock" and then "Road to No Man's Land" which resulted in the U.S. government officially evacuating Gotham and then abandoning and isolating those who chose to remain in the city. "No Man’s Land" covered, in detail, a period in the lives of the residents of the city, explaining all events from the time of isolation, until its time of re-opening and the beginning of rebuilding. ==Publication history== The main storyline ran through the monthly Batman titles ''Detective Comics'', ''Batman'', ''Batman: Shadow of the Bat'', and ''Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight'' with other spin-offs serving as tie-ins. In all, "No Man's Land" encompassed 80 regular monthly issues, 4 specials, and the ''Batman: Harley Quinn'' graphic novel, which introduced Harley Quinn to the DC Universe. The storyline is divided into several arcs. A part of the story would continue from one Batman title and then to the next Batman title that would come the following week, much the same format used in the Superman comics for that time. Unlike the ''Superman'' comics, where a creative team is maintained for one monthly title, the same creative team is maintained for the duration of the story arc. The core storyline was originally collected as trade paperbacks in five volumes. However, because of the large number of issues that were devoted to "No Man's Land", only 40 of them made it into the original collections. DC has since released a new collection of "No Man's Land" that includes issues previously uncollected. A novelization of the story line was also written by Greg Rucka and released as hardcover in January 2000. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「No Man's Land (comics)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
