I realize this came out a couple of weeks ago, but I didn’t enjoy the previous Joker’s Asylum run, and had read reviews of the current run that were less than favorable.

I’m very sorry I didn’t pick this up immediately.  Peter Calloway crafts one of the best Riddler as a villain stories I can remember.  The basic premise is that, blinded by love, The Riddler is used by another of Batman’s rogues, and that villain sets him up to be catpured.  EVERY panel in this comic features a clue to the crime, but the ending is only obvious if you’re paying close attention.  And Andres Guinaldo gets just as much credit for making the visual clues work.

Major props to a creative team I’m unfamiliar with putting out one of the better Batman comics in recent memory.
