A different perspective: this is written like a Batman or X-men comic from the 80s: numerous subplots moving forward each and every issue, sometimes with only a page or two dedicated to one sub plot each issue. Less written for the trade and more of a slow burn. I actually think this may read worse in a trade....

There's a new sheriff in town. By that I mean a new top mobster who has taken over, much to the surprise of the other crime lords and Batman, who learns about by threatening a scared punk, way to stay on top of things Bruce.
Also, Fraction writes a diatribe about the death of the daily newspaper industry. I have news for him, daily newspapers started dying after WW2. Most big cities wer

Classic Claremont, cockrum, Byrne, smith, romita jr, silvestri, Leonardi X-men. Pretty much all of that up to Jim Lee.

It sticks the landing. Definitely Taylor’s best arc so far. And Janin is Janin. One of the best modern Batman artists.

Very glad to say that I liked this even more than the first issue. Honestly, a great read here. This time around, we get to know two human protagonists, in Cara and Rabbit, as they encounter Poke. Camp did a great job quickly establishing the dynamic between the mother and daughter, while also giving a good amount of emotional weight for them. Additionally, Morian, once again, gives us some really more

This issue is a step up compared to the first issue. It really gets you attached to the characters and pulls you in the story.

Sometimes issue 2's can feel rushed or drawn out but on this occasion, the turn of pace was sublime. Pacing , art , panels......each page pulled you into her heart. This for me was an easy perfect 10........outstanding
