I don't know how i never noticed the parallels this issue has with the 1st one, or how many clues it leaves for the rest of the series, this is something truly impressive, Jeph Loeb is a very inconsistent writer but when he does his best, he swings really high. I love how Tim Sale can portray Batman in so many ways with his style, we see Batman as a mysterious figure where we only see his eyes and silhouette, we see Batman fully, we see only his eyes, his cape, there is so much dynamism and emotion in his art. Take page 13 to 14 for example, after Mickey implies that Harvey might have Killed Johnny Viti we only see Batman in 3 panels and in all of the panels we only see his silhouette and his eyes. In the 1st panel he doesn't even speak, more

This is stacked with so many amazing depictions of Gotham and its people that a lot of the more subtle imagery flies beneath the surface and I'm so glad to be reading it again with a different lens.

Writing is sharp, and the story is engaging. I've never been a fan of Tim Sale's art, but I think it's grown on me to the point where I can finally really appreciate it. Also, I loved the moment where Batman went back to bring Thanksgiving dinner to Solomon Grundy.
