Reviews

[James DeSantis · Rating 4 out of 5]

A dark, moody tale unfolds as a motorcycle-riding vigilante doles out their unique brand of justice, with Batman hot on their trail to prevent a deadly outcome. This issue delivers solid atmosphere, sharp dialogue, and a welcome Batman/Gordon team-up. A 3.5.

[drown_like_its_1999 · Rating 2 out of 5]

Batman senses a new criminal presence in Gotham as a string of murders occurs surrounding those close to a controversial congresswoman. He soon discovers the culprit as a gun toting motorcyclist with a grudge and the bat vows to bring this criminal to justice.

While this had some quality narrative prose and energetic art, the core plot is painfully simplistic and concludes in a rather anticlimactic ending. Yet another bat book that fades from memory the second you put it down.
