Batman has found his method of taking down the different ranks of corruption and criminality in Gotham but has been caught in a firebombed building with civilians after a last ditch attempt from the GCPD to stop him.

Really excited to be re-reading this novel and continuing it with The man Who Laughs and Jeph Loeb’s run of Batman!

Narrating the city of Gotham through the perspective on the newly arrived Bruce Wayne and Lieutenant Gordon as he joins the ranks of Commissioner Loeb and Lieutenant Flass. He attempts to expose corruption in the GCPD through his unwavering moral compass to accept bribes and shady deals.

Issues 2-3 show the progress that Peter Parker is making to fit into the role of Spider-Man and each issue takes place 1 month after another. These issues also show how bullseye and other members of the Makers Council are pulling strings on Fisk so stop the emergence of super powered individuals.

Fantastic set up and world building in issue 1 to show how The Maker has stripped away the ranks of superheroes, and showing the impact that this has has on Peter Parker and his outlook on life, as if he is missing a part of his life that was never offered to him. This was changed from a future variant of Tony Stark who has offered him the chance to become spider-man after already starting a family with MJ.

Really loved the artwork by Justin Mason in the moonlight section of the first edition of the Marvel Zombies run, truly gruesome and loved the dual perspective from konshu.

Really witty writing and fun characterisation of Harley as her stand alone story, exemplifies her split personality, close friendships with other villains and her anti-hero nature of using violence to help the needs of others. Can’t wait to keep reading this series.

A terrifying introduction to the return of the joker that explores the themes of physiological torture to Batman and his closest allies, can wait to read the rest of this comic!
