As the Dark Knight pursues a kidnapper through the subway
tunnels of Gotham City, its residents are living their everyday lives above
ground. The main scene is at Grand Central Station. There, a young donut maker
obsesses over her best customer, an ex-con struggles to go straight, an elderly
couple struggle with some bad news, and a pair of friends with commitment
issues struggle to stay friends.
This is perhaps the best Batman story I’ve ever read. And it’s
only chapter one. And the Caped Crusader only appears in perhaps twenty panels max!
It’s rare when a comic tries to do something meaningful and artistic without
being too commercial or going the independent route. Kudos to the writing and
artistic staff at DC for this opening act.
Worth Consuming.
Rating 10 out of 10 stars.
