review 1: "Tell me you did not just shoot Batman?!"That was probably the best line of the whole series, a series that I enjoyed immensely, but that ended with a bit of a whimper. Yeah, I know, some of the plots get resolved in other comics, but for someone who doesn't read any of the DCU c...

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 ...

review 1: La aparición de un letal francotirador (y la amenaza latente tras él) pone en jaque a un cuerpo policíaco que debe operar al límite de sus posibilidades, desnudando su cara falible en un ambiente entregado al pánico y la frustración. Sin duda, la entrega más sólida que Brubaker y...

review 1: The second in a series of four books chronicling the exploits of the GCPD, this was just as good as the initial book. Try as they might, the Gotham City Police Department cannot handle to types of super-villains without the help of Batman. They do a great job trying in this volum...

review 1: "I want to ask you not to use the signal...to let us handle this one by ourselves."It seems like every time there's a problem in Gotham City, Batman's got to swoop in and save the day. But what about the cops? They spend all their time chasing after criminals, only to admit defea...

review 1: Tramo final para los cuentos policiales de Gotham, donde se reafirma su intención de validar un título con guiones sólidos que no dependan excesivamente del popular Hombre Murciélago. Sea con la aparente muerte de cierto enmascarado o en las violentas consecuencias de la corrupci...

review 1: I'd have been monumentally pissed off if I was buying this series rather than borrowing it from the library. The previous volume I read was number four (you can just about get away with reading them out of sequence) and it contained *every single one* of the stories presented in ...

review 1: A noir Marvels? A superhero NYPD Blue? A Batman book without Batman? GCPD takes a concept so brilliantly simple that you'll kick yourself for not thinking of it first and spins a delightfully rich series of whodunnits and vignettes on the human condition.If that sounds pretentiou...

review 1: Sometimes better, sometimes worse than first trade. Joker story is very, very good. Probably the best so far. "Life is Full of Disappointments" was great though dragged at points. The art is incredible and iconic. Not enough Renee but a good amount of exposure for Dag, Procjnow a...

review 1: A bit inspired by the current show "Gotham" (which I really like so far) I re-read this collection that's connected in theme and setting and, no doubt, inspired the current show. Whereas "Gotham" is centered on the rise of a deteriorated city that would need a Batman "Gotham Cent...

review 1: I can't believe I put off reading this simply because I don't dig Batman that much. It's not about Batman at all. Or Catwoman. Mostly (for me) it's about Renee Montoya, a cop with a bad attitude and anger management issues who also happens to be queer. The queer elements play a p...
