Batman Streets Of Gotham #1

Wow, this was spectacularly good.

I really don't know what I was expecting, as Dini is an astounding talent, but there didn't seem to be a real reason for this book. As it stands this title still seems to have a tenuous concept at best, but it really delivered a good story regardless.

 I love how seamlessly it moved from Harley to Gordon to Lynns even to Elliot. Dini is doing a wonderful job of keeping Tommy Elliot from becoming a one hit villain.

I liked the Nguyen art, which is saying a lot because I remember back during his first Authority run, I hated his stuff.

The back up with Kate was great too. It seemed much more meaty than the Beetle one in Booster. It was the same set up status quo action story, but it felt like there was more to it.

This issue was something I was willing to give a try but wasn't overly excited about. Now it'll probably be consistently one of those books I bug the retailer about if it's out yet.
