It´s all about land
Winter is coming (I´m addicted to Game of Thrones) and gotham is facing it´s biggest danger in the history and though Batman has secured a large part of the city (all of the north side of the island), there´re still lots of territory in the hands of villains such as the Penguin and Two-Face, who have cut a deal in order to trap Batman, but Gordon has other ideas of protecting his turf and also winning some ground too - this was an awesome story about land and power, marvelous penciled by Mike Deodato, very different from his today´s style, but using some of his fragmented panels, just a little, in this issue he´s got a more behaved and traditional aproach to the character and it was awesome seeing his Penguin and Two Face, really great work from the artist - also the plot from Rucka is very solid, showing a lot of threads, a lot of oportunities for all the parties involved, this was a very interesting issue, showing first the perils of the winter, then assembling the villains in a typical plan to destroy and remove Batman from their lives, and he can only count on Gordon to save him this time. Also, amazing cover by Brian Bolland, really great stuff! Highly Recommended!
