Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta introduce a lot of new plot points and a massive Batmobile in this second issue. There are still so many things to like, and I'm excited to see where it goes.

There are a lot of characters that we know stuffed into these pages, but each one is turned about one or two degrees the other way. Scott Snyder sets up a lot on the table. Agent Alfred, Bruce being friends with what would be his rogues gallery in another universe, and more.

The Penguin #11 unleashes a firefight of fun with some fantastic-looking art. Penguin fans don't want to miss this one!

The Penguin #8 brings Oswald Cobblepot back to Gotham City, and it's a gorgeous, violent, and fun issue.

This flashback story is far more exciting and interesting than the main story. Hopefully the main story can cover, but for now, this interlude serves as an interesting origin for The Penguin.

In The Penguin #6, Tom King bends Penguin's origins to retell Oswald Cobblepot's rise to power. Though quite a good tale with great art, your mileage on this retcon may vary.

Now that Penguin has his goons and his firepower I assume that next issue, we will see the Force of July in action. I am enjoying this series more than I thought, and I am excited to see what is next.

It seems like Tom King is bringing the Penguin back to prominence as a threat to Gotham City, which he should always be.

I am a big fan of the Harley Quinn animated series, but the tone of this felt off. Some of it felt like fan fiction of the series and lacked the charm of the show. Some jokes felt like adult humor for the sake of it because they knew the show leans more toward an older audience. This felt like a quick book to capitalize on the success of the animated series.

This was a really fun issue with some good stories. Dennis McNicholas has created a very unique and different world with the characters, which is difficult to do considering Batman has been around for over eighty years.
