Really liked the art and the story was good.
Really enjoyed the idea and concept of the story probably more then it was actually executed. I mean the artwork was great and again the idea of the penguin, coming back to Gotham to reclaim his kingdom. I like how they go back in time and show a little bit of where he came from. Would have liked more of that and also liked the opening but felt they never went back to it or even gave closure on some of it. Definitely enjoyed it. Enjoy chip zdarskys writing ALOT, and Tom king when he gets it right, he's one of my favorites. Think the job Collin Farrel did in the batman and the penguin played big into why we look at the penguin in a more gritty, gangster type of way. I like that but at the same time would it work without the recent resurgence of the penguin??
