this is a fantastically entertaining book!! when in context with its sister book (or would this one be the sister book?) streets of gotham, we get a rich ensemble story with all of gotham’s wonderful wackos and
wackettes. March’s art, while not my favorite, is improving with each issue. he has a very expressive style well suited for the often humorous moments in this book. this issue was missing a lot of the cheesecake that this book has been criticized for so frequently. this book fits nicely in the middle of all the bat-books; not quite as flawless as what Morrison is doing these days, but slightly more entertaining than Winnick’s mediocre offering.
