Gates of Gotham is an adept and intriguing mystery, and Higgins and McCarthy have done a fine job of capturing the tone and presentation of what a comic book mystery should be. The actual history of Gotham has been mentioned in comics before, surely, but Snyder, Higgins and McCarthy seem to have concocted a potent lesson into how the city came to be where it is, as well as connecting it further into the mythos of the Wayne family. It promises to be an absorbing read. Read Full Review
Meh. This comic wasn't bad, as it set up a pretty interesting mystery, but it also didn't wow me. It seems that the three families from the beginning, the Waynes, the Elliots and the Cobblepots may have wronged somebody back in the day, and their offspring is looking for revenge in the present day. I could be wrong, but that's what I got out of this one so far. Anyway, while I wasn't blown away here, my interest was piqued enough to make me want to read the rest of the mini-series, so hey, that's good, right? Read Full Review
