Loved it. Best arc of the series, hands down. Love that we got a relatively happy ending for a change. Also, I've been missing Michael Lark's art, but I really really enjoyed the last couple guest artists. They both did a fantastic job.
Gotham Central #36
The conclusion to "Dead Robin!" The GCPD believe they've found the Robin killer, but things get even more complicated when someone else confesses to the crime. The detectives need to sort it all out--quick--before another boy loses his life, so they decide to call in the Dark Knight for help!
This arc has been absolutely exhilarating. Best of the series in my opinion, even better than the Joker one.
Gotham Central #35
Another dead body dressed as Robin has turned up, this time in Gotham Harbor. The GCPD's detectives find themselves with more questions than before, and very few answers. But just when things start looking up, another young boy goes missing! "Dead Robin" part 3.
This arc is so good.
Gotham Central #34
The cops have what appears to be Robin's dead body in the Gotham City Morgue. When Batman proves uncooperative (at best), the only people to turn to for answers may be the Teen Titans! "Dead Robin" part 2.
This is the coolest premise for a case the GCPD have to solve...I love this series man.
Gotham Central #33
"Dead Robin" part 1! Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker join together once more for the penultimate GOTHAM CENTRAL tale. All the detectives of the Major Crimes Unit become involved after a dead body turns up--a dead body dressed as Robin, the Boy Wonder!
Can we use this comment as a petition to change this website back to the way it was? This new design is beyond atrocious. The mobile version is especially difficult to navigate (and there's no search bar at the top). There also seems to be a problem with the average rating for series' where it's not calculating the actual average for all issues. For example, Gotham Central (which I'm currently rea more

Absolute Wonder Woman Annual #1
The experience of briefly becoming Medusa in order to save Gateway City changed Diana. It haunts her, and she has never stopped seeking an answer from the gods. Her pleas to Athena have gone unanswered...until now. If she wants justice, the mission is deadly and uncertain. Is it worth the risk just to set right one injustice? Breakout artist Mattia...
Wow, this was incredible. Having it narrated by one of the dirty cops was an awesome creative choice. The story was incredible, and the art was fantastic. Perfect.
Gotham Central #32
In a special standalone issue, two corrupt cops murder a witness to their schemes and blame the death on another. But no bad deed goes unpunished, as an unexpected agent of justice seeks revenge.

The Whisper War (2026)
Chapter 1. On planet Imprimata's capital city of Apperax, a murder's been committed and Axel Jindari has been selected to lead the investigation. No suspects. No forensics. No theories. Only Axel's intuition—and a nagging feeling of déjà vu—can guide him through the case...

Tokyo Tower is under siege as Yokai and young gods clash.
The action in this was unreal.
Wayward #12
No more hiding. The new gods of Japan are on the attack and Tokyo is caught in the middle.
JIM ZUB (SKULLKICKERS, Samurai Jack) and STEVE CUMMINGS (Deadshot) continue their acclaimed supernatural spectacle.
It wasn't bad, but I can't help but be slightly underwhelmed. I was hoping for a different outcome, so this resolution feels somewhat unsatisfying as a conclusion. We never really learned what Alchemy was hoping to accomplish with his experiment, Desmond somehow got away from Batman after they left the hospital, and it ends on a tragic note for multiple characters. I guess I was just hoping for a more
Gotham Central #31
The finale of "Keystone Kops!" The mutated Officer Andrew Kelly goes on a rampage under the influence of Dr. Alchemy! As Batman joins members of Gotham Central pursuing their own, Renee Montoya tries to bring the mad scientist responsible for it all back into custody.
This was so good. Doctor Alchemy is a cool villain.
Gotham Central #30
Allen and Montoya have traveled to Keystone City to save Officer Andrew Kelly, who's been transformed into a terrible monster. But their efforts may be for naught, as Kelly continues to evolve into something increasingly horrific--and unstoppable. "Keystone Kops" Part 3.
Gotham Central #29
After an accident involving a supervillain lab, Officer Andrew Kelly lays mutated inside the hospital. Crispus Allen and Renee Montoya must travel to Keystone City and team with its officers to find the villain who owns the lab: Dr. Alchemy! "Keystone Kops" Part 2.

As always, the writing and character work is just so solid. The art here was better than the last guest artist, but I still miss Michael Lark.
Gotham Central #28
Beginning the new story arc "Keystone Kops." When a group of children stumble onto the abandoned hideout of one of the DCU's most dangerous villains, Detectives Crispus Allen and Renee Montoya take on the case with a cop's life hanging in the balance!
Gotham Central #27
After a robbery gone wrong, Catwoman is the prime suspect in the murder of a televangelist. Josie Mac knows better, but how can she tell her partner the evidence points elsewhere? And if Catwoman didn't commit the crime, who did? "On the Freak Beat" Part 2.
Gotham Central #26
Josie Mac and Driver investigate the murder of a famous televangelist, and clues on the scene point to a certain fast-fingered feline. Josie must uncover the truth behind the murder while keeping her powers a secret in "On the Freak Beat" Part 1!
I'm honestly a little confused as to how some of the characters' powers work...like, Nikaido can control emotions, but also can emit a high-pitched noise and make things explode...? Ohara can manipulate man-made materials, but also sometimes stone? It doesn't always seem consistent and I wish it was better explained so we knew exactly how it worked. I don't love when characters have vague magical more

The second arc ends. The future revealed. Welcome to the next level. Cover A is part 5 of a five-part panorama by STEVE CUMMINGS and TAMRA BONVILLAIN. Buy all five issues of this story arc to fit them together into a massive WAYWARD illustration. Cover B is a variant by online fan favorite Hanzo Steinbach.
This was great again. Rori is getting a handle on using her powers, and while it does seem a little cheap with her just sorta figuring everything out by instinct alone, the way she uses them is really cool and mostly makes up for it. She was rather savage in this issue honestly, making Ohara's parents forget her like that...that was wild. I'm interested to see whether the Spider lady turns into a more

I really liked this one. I feel like we're one step closer to knowing what's going on. Some terrific art in this one too.
