  The biggest flaw with this issue is that it simply isnt necessary. If youve read Battle for the Cowl, you arent getting much new information here (except the introduction of a new stalker character), so this one is easy to skip, despite it being a strong effort from the creative team.

  There's not a great deal worth complaining about when it comes to Gotham Gazette - Batman Dead? #1. It's a mildly entertaining look at some of the smaller supporting characters in the Bat franchise. However, as a primer for Battle for the Cowl, Gotham Gazette kicks off this event with a whimper rather than a bang. As far as I'm concerned, the fun doesn't start until next week. Read Full Review

  If you've been enjoying all things Battle for the Cowl, then there's no reason for you not to pick up Gotham Gazette: Batman Alive. The book offers another look at the new Gotham landscape as well as a taste of what's to come for Batman's allies. Just don't go into it expecting a satisfying epilogue to Tony Daniel's three-part miniseries, or even much of a story, for that matter. Read Full Review
