    Dirty Business

    Lex Luthor has big plans for Gotham City, so he launches a rebuilding plan, calling on to every gothamite to work for Lexcorp and help him in his "humanitarian mission" and this new glimpse of hope is surely appealing and it´s sure to be a concrete thing, since Lex has DC in his pocket, but not if Bruce Wayne and Batman have some to say about a foreigner trying to get into their town - Rucka did a terrific job in this aproach of a business man trying to explore Gotham´s situation by promising to rebuild their city, even if by that he must break the law and usurp all the property that legally still belongs to Bruce Wayne - the best thing about this issue is the fact that though Batman paid a little visit to Lex, the ace in the hole is in Wayne´s sleeve, it was very interesting seeing him talking to Fox about his real state condition in Gotham - there´s a side story in this issue involving Huntress, Robin and Petit, that proved to be interesting too - intriguing as it is, the main reason for me buying this issue (the artist is Sergio Cariello) was responsible for the best and the worst, since it´s a little irregular, the art didn´t show estability, being great at most of the times and other some strange faces - overall this was an excellent issue, great dialogues and plot by Rucka and a very good art from Cariello, though he could have done better.
