The final battle for the soul of Gotham City begins. With Corrigan and Drake presumed dead, the Ikkondrid returns from Slaughter Swamp to finish what it started. If theres no one left to protect the city, will its past sins lead to its doom?
It also gave me questions for the next issue. What happened to Tarr, what is his power? Do we see an angel or is this God in the closing splash. I cannot wait for the next issue and I am sad that it is being cancelled. Read Full Review
While itd be easy for me to hang my head and feel despondent about the upcoming final issue of this series, Im adopting a glass half full approach here. This is a series that is undoubtedly going to stand the test of time and be looked back on in years to come as one of the truly tragic comic book cancellations. Its better to burn out than to fade away, as they say, and if thats the case, then Ferreyra and Fawkes are poised to unleash an absolutesupernova of a final issue that's going to make a lot of people feel pretty damn stupid for missing out on this one.

Gotham by Midnight is my favorite title right now (and will be for at least one more month–then I'll cry in my beer). I have all faith Fawkes and Ferreyra can end it well, even under the pressure. And yeah, I'm still hoping for the possibility of an 11th-inning save on this storyline, this world, and these amazing characters. It could happen in a freshly launched Spectre book. C'mon DC, be cool. Read Full Review
Though lighter in a sense when it comes to what's actually accomplished here, Gotham by Midnight has another strong installment. The dead coming back with unresolved issues is a familiar enough concept and one that we've seen in comics (and DC Comics) many times over the years. Its execution here is solid and it's given some proper weight with the narrative while also showing the struggle the police have in trying to deal with it all. The storyline is bringing everything to a head and I have hopes that it'll put us in a very good place afterward where this crew might be able to function again some day in some way. Right now, though, Fawkes and Ferreyra have crafted a strong second arc within this series and I have hopes that an omnibus collection someday might get a lot more people to realize what they missed out. Solid installment that has me excited to see how it's all going to conclude. Read Full Review
More than anything, this series has a great amount of control over itself. Gotham by Midnight knows what it's doing, and continues to forge ahead with great command of its characters and causality of their actions. The cartoonish dynamism of the artwork encapsulates the terror in the city streets (and deistic Godzilla battles) without going overboard, and the narration touches on deep poetic notions without becoming a masterbatory slugfest of over-enunciated truisms. It takes ownership of its content and context in impressively bombastic ways. Gotham by Midnight consciously exceeds all expectations, and therevelation ofthat knowledge is paramount. Read Full Review
