Batman uses both his wits and brute force to deal with new and old enemies alike. Will Two-Face find his coin? Does the Riddler finally get the skeleton key to his locked memories? Is there a new power hierarchy about to reign in Gotham City? Find out in the stunning conclusion of the 3-part "Pieces."
On the art side, Steve Scott does a great job. I like his strong lines and his ability to convey motion. I say that a lot, the ability to convey motion, and not just to say it. What makes comics work is the ability to bring 3D realism into a two dimensional medium. So many artists can’t do that so I always applaud those who can. Scott’s art, as good as it is, just isn’t Tony Daniel, which is strongly missed. Want to know how much of difference there is? Tony Daniel did the cover for Batman #712. Compare it to the inside work and tell me who you’d rather see pencil an issue. This isn’t a bad issue, just a rather clunky end to a story that seemed to give Two-Face some new life.
