The enigmatic Doctor Phosphorous is back! Alex Sartorius was believed to be dead, but rumors of his death have been greatly exaggerated. Now more powerful than ever, Doctor Phosphorous seeks to enact revenge on crime boss Rupert Thorne!
All in all, for a fill-in issue, this is a really enjoyable story using an old member of Batman's rogues gallery. In fact, I have to say I enjoyed this issue more so than all of Dini's run. It is simple, yes, but it is a refreshing story that utilizes all sides of Batman, has some great interaction, and a wonderful ending. If nothing else, this is a good example of what a "one and done" story should be. DC, please put McGraw on Detective Comics more often! Read Full Review
Detective Comics #825 is an enjoyable read. The writing is slightly above average and the art is fantastic. For a one-shot issue sporting a fill-in writer and fill-in artists, this issue was much better than I would have ever imagined. Read Full Review
