The Justice Party tightens its grip on the Empire State, and the vigilantes and heroes are preparing to go on the offensive.

Overall, a great installment of MASKS. The plots moves with some veryinterestingdevelopment. Plus Zorro finally appears, which is a treat. These pulp heroes are quickly rising up to becoming all star comic characters, you should be reading this event. Read Full Review
Masks continues to impress. We get a lot of progression storywise with this issue, so it will be interesting to see how Roberson uses the last three issues to tie a bow on it. If you've not been reading this one, you're doing yourself a great disservice 4.5/5 Read Full Review
It's an interesting issue visually, as well, as we see The Black Bat taking to the streets using his newly found abilities, and we finally get the full-fledged team-up of Batman's antecedents in a lovely night-time fight sequence. Most of the rest of the issue is dedicated to skulking and fighty-fighty, with a fascinating moment wherein the Green Hornet reveals that The Shadow gave him tips on mind-clouding, while The Shadow references Doc Savage and even implies that he'd like to have the big man's assistance in their current mission. (They're infiltrating the Empire State Building, through the 86th floor...) All in all, it's a middle chapter, but a middle chapter that doesn't leave you wanting, even with no less than THREE cliffhangers, not counting the whereabouts of the almost-certainly-not-dead Richard "Spider" Wentworth.
