Batman #45 sets up Gordon against Mr. Bloom finally. Gordon has acquitted himself well as Batman so far and Mr. Bloom is able to kill with the touch of one finger. Gordon hasa tough test ahead of him. Snyder and team continue to push Batman into new territory. Reading a little between the lines it's easy to see Bruce and Gordon teaming up in issue #46. Don't turn your back on this one yet.

Pat McHale continues to make good strides with Over The Garden Wall. This issue will be satisfying to casual and overt fans of the series. The next two issues should provide even more chances for great interactions between the main characters. As always, hopefully more mystery is right around the corner.
