detective-comics-872

I’ve been doing a very good job of weaning myself off of single issue comics. I mean, come on. . .it’s just getting to be ridiculous.

But after reading so much about what’s been happening in the Dick Grayson/Batman-in-Gotham arc of the current fractaled (and impossible to follow) Batman Incorporated nonsense, I had to check this out.

It’s a straight-up “who’s pulling the strings” bad guy tale, that incorporates some of the classic rogues gallery. More importantly it has Grayson admitting that the evil sewer that is Gotham is just getting worse, and the drawings by Jock are truly creepy and expressive. These are art panels you can stare at for a while and not feel like a dope.

So while I’ll be ignoring everything else happening in Batman-dom for a while, I’ll be keeping my eyes on this.
