I've approached these one shots with extreme caution. Not because I'm worried about spoilers for The Return, but because these events have a history of being kind of filler, often not up to the standard of the main titles. Still, I'm always a sucker for Jim Gordon, one of my favourite characters in comics and when I saw the preview art I thought I'd take the plunge.
The main story is very slight, and there's nothing too original about it. Jim is trapped in a building trying to protect Vicki Vale with the help of a rookie uniform, fighting against some rather bland costumed villains and corrupt police. However, as a spotlight on the character and courage of Gordon it's always effective. Vale is critical of the man and his department throughout her narration, until he proves her wrong through his actions. It's a simple tale, but works on that level at least.
Unfortunately it is somewhat bogged down by the twin narratives of Vale and Bruce/The Insider. Vale is almost impossible to ever sympathise with, so much so that there's often the nagging feeling that you wonder why the Commissioner is even bothering. Bruce's narration just comes across as kind of portentous, movie trailer prattle, especially at the end. Still, there's some really nice moments and it's true to the friendship of Bruce and Jim, and that art by Kudranski is nice and shadowy if a little too dark in places. Not a bad read in all, even if it can't escape the feeling of filler for the fireworks to come next month.
Art: 4 - Very Good
