review 1: There's gotta be a book five, right? There is no way Gotham Central can just end the way that "Corrigan" ended. Nope. Not allowed.The last installment of Gotham Central was riveting to say the least. Great story lines, the addition of other superheroes (i.e. Captain Marvel, Teen Titans) was a fun touch! I'm glad we got to see Poison Ivy in this book, I had been wondering when she would show up.The artwork in this one is fantastic. So detailed. In one frame an M.E. is talking about a skull fracture and you can actually see the indentation; truly magnificent illustrations. Gotham Central is definitely worth re-reading multiple times.
review 2: The thing with crime procedurals and crime genre in most fiction is that you can play on the murder mystery storyline or
... morehave the hard hunt on someone you know is guilty. This volume does both, having the Fuzz in Gotham investigate the killings of kids dressed as Robin and a corrupt cop within the force in two separate story arcs. It's very good writing, and while all this is going on Brubaker and Rucka never lose focus on their characters. There is the inclusion of SOME tights, but it's superfluous to what's going on. Sometimes when you get to the last couple of arcs, they're not as good because it feels like the creators have used up all their good stuff in the first few arcs, but that's not the case with Gotham Central. Each book is as good as the last and they make each case different to keep it interesting for readers. I'd been hearing for a while how good this series is and I really wish I read it a lot sooner. less

Rucka and Brubaker's version of 'Homicide: Life on the Street' is pitch perfect. No doubt about it.
