Holiday kills sal the boss maroni.
And we get to see his face in the dark but i still think he is that vernon guy.
Batman is going all around searching for dent.
While dent is down at the sewers singing for solomon grundy.

2024 - Year of The Bat (366 Days of Batman)

Day 124: So…spoilers. I knew Alberto Falcone wasn’t dead. His “death” just didn’t fit with seeing Holiday commit the murder each time. Even when he shot at The Riddler, we saw it. But Harvey/Two-Face is still out there and we now know he’s been making the guns Holiday has used. At least one. I want you to know how he got it into the courtroom in his briefcase. Even as the DA, he would have been stopped at the metal detectors. One more to wrap this up!

[William Douglas]

Loeb does a sort of Agatha Christie thing here, where someone seems like an obvious choice, so he writes him off for you, and then finds a way to bring it back. It makes the revelation satisfying while making you feel that you weren't cheated. Good stuff.

Labor Day.

Who is that? I don't recognize him.

We learn that it was acid Maroni squeezed onto Dent in the courtroom. Dent freaked out at the hospital, stabbed someone, and left. Batman is convinced it is Dent who is Holiday. Gordon is not buying it.

Batman shows up in Dent's basement and talks to Gilda. There are metal shavings in the vise as to indicate Harvey had shaved off the serial number from the .22 used as Holiday.

Maroni is moved in jail out of fear that Dent will attack him. It ends with Maroni being shot. Is that Dent? It doesn't look like him.

The conclusion is ahead . . .

What a twist.! wow!! <3

"What... What ARE you?"

The very first page, close-up on Harvey's bandaged face, is insane. Gorgeous, beautiful, haunting; all in one.

Harvey knowing the nursey rhyme for Solomon Grundy was a nice touch.

Batman and Catwoman still at odds, I mean, when are they not?

Gordon goes to take Maroni to try to end up luring Holiday... and Maroni is killed. And there we have it... the killer.

Holiday is...

এই ধরণের কাহিনি খুবই কমন। পাঠককে বোকা বানানোর জন্য মেইন ভিলেনকে ভিলেনের হাতে মেরেই গল্প থেকে বের করে দেয়া যাতে কাহিনিটাকে দুমড়ে মুচড়ে আরো রহস্যময় করে তোল যায়।
মিশন ইম্পসিবল ওয়ানের কাহিনিটাও অনেকটা এমনই। যাহোক, যাকে হলিডে ভেবেছিলাম সেই যে হলিডে তা প্রমাণিত হল।
আমার মতে এ রহস্যটা সকলেই ধরে ফেলবে।

At first I hated the artwork style of this series...but somewhere along the line I did a complete 180 and now I love it so much. This series as a whole has been just amazing. So much better than much of what is put out today. 4.5/5

[Alessandro Parisi]

Batman, dopo il ritrovamento di una calibro 22, è convinto che Harvey Dent, che fu sfregiato con l’acido da Maroni durante il processo, è Holiday.

Maroni, che sopravvisse a 3 colpi di pistola, viene trasferito ma durante il passaggio da un carcere ad un altro viene colpito a sorpresa

[Pato Myers]

A quick, enjoyable, and nostalgic read.

[Aldo Haegemans]

Is that the Son?

[OinkFish Pigs]

[Mikey Baker]

Harvey Dent may have been holiday.

[finn]

Harvey being a Gemini, the sign known to be two-faced is so funny to me. also THAT HOE???

[Gavin]

Holiday has been on the loose for a year now. The net is tightening with suspects being named.

Who is Holiday?

It appears Jim Gordon may have just found out.

Holy cliffhanger Batman!

[Vibhav]

Revelations start landing, the manhunt feels urgent, and the noir atmosphere is on point. Really solid build toward the end.

[Arianna]

Lo ammetto, non me lo aspettavo! Mi sembrava fosse il figlio del Romano, ma non ne ero troppo sicura, solo il capitolo dolo ha sciolto ogni minimo dubbio!

[Chantal]

I thought it was him!!!! But then he "died"

[Solim]

The reveal at the end!

[Mylah]
