A worthy companion to the BFTC crossover

While not really serving to substantially propel Tony Daniel's BFTC series in any direction, this stand alone one-shot revolving around Commissioner Gordon expounds upon the hopeless situation of Gotham's police department. McGraw does a great job of telling this story in the aftermath of Arkham's destruction, considering the constraining number of pages he's forced to pack it into, and the key element that shines through in this issue is the coming to terms with Batman's fate. And, though Mandrake's artwork may seem elementary in some frames, his Mr. Freeze is fantastic.
All in all, this is worth a read if you enjoy anything and everything having to do with Batman and Gotham City, but this one-shot doesn't contain much of the BFTC story in and of itself.
