Just in time for a new Penguin mini-series in a different medium, this one comes to a close. The Penguin #12 and this book as a whole is unabashedly Tom King's take on the character, from the non-linear time jumps, to how the characters speak.

: This is a satisfying conclusion to a mostly great Gotham crime epic. It's the best issue that we've had from this title in months. If you've been hoping that sticking out the middling issues will all be worth it, consider yourself rewarded. Read Full Review
