Awesome issue. The ending was a bit confusing even for even me, who's read The Goon series start to finish about 4 or 5 times. Looking forward to see that explained.
Synopsis: The Goon's return to Lonely Street is off to a bumpy start. And it's about to get bumpier when he crosses paths with up and coming crime lord Vinnie Nosferatu.
**SPOILERS** I can understand that at first glance this issue doesn't seem to have a lot of substance, but Tom King as a writer is all about symbolism and metaphor. Though it may not be everyone's cup of tea, he likes to make you think. If you dig a little deeper, especially considering this is a nightmare happening in Bruce's mind, this issue actually says a lot. Batman starts on a rooftop and slmore

A 10 would mean this was the absolutely best comic that could have been produced. How could you possibly believe that? Or are you just trying to raise the score because you like King?
I blame people like you for Tom King still writing Batman. Stop rating things please and thank you :)
Impressive.
It’s impressive how King manages to write a story without dialogues (there are 2), the fact that there aren’t dialogues doesn’t mean that King has done a “lazy job”, all that movements of the characters and their facial expressions are in the script of the issue.This issue symbolize the fall of Bruce Wayne and damn Tom King tells it in a very good and powerful way. King more
