I dunno. I thought this issue was great. The art is just fantastic...i love the stark black, white and grey hues contrasted with Simon's red shirt and the cop's blue eyes. This is how i picture Gotham. I agree though, that this book probably is not long for this world. It would take a major star to help it out...where is Bats when you need him? This title would work much better as a Vertigo title. For the life of me i dont know why they didnt go that route. If your gonna set it in the DCU proper and put it in Gotham, then you better have a Bat...otherwise, what's the point?

Pretty disapointed with this issue. I was loving it but this time... Just kind of left me cold. Im not sure I like where it is headed and I have a feeling it wont be on the pull list much longer.
