I read this because I read Gaslight and Master of the Future and wanted to keep it going, this is a ROMP in every sense of the word because it goes bang bang bang and then it’s done. I was feeling 5 stars for a good portion of the book and then it was basically just over, so 4 stars feels more appropriate.
I jumped in with only Gaslight Gotham context, no countdown context, but I enjoyed the story enough. The team of Monitor Bob, Donna Troy, Jason Todd, and Kyle Rayner are in Gotham Gaslight searching for Ray Palmer (I PRAY DC Infinite gets the other books in the series because this is the only one they have)
It’s great to see modern Jason run around with Gaslight Batman, and another character or two that shows up, with a BEAUTIFUL Gaslight suit design
