This book is shaping up in to something special. Frank Tieri is doing a great job with the scripts. And I've been a big fan of J Calafiore's for a long time. His artistic talent really seems to shine here. Scarecrow is trying to put together his own little gang. After what happened at the Iceberg. But Scarface, his partner in crime, doesn't fully believe the story he's being told. " . . 2 people mad it outta that raid. An' yer right. Chances are somebody turned rat to do it . . . so how do we know that rat ain't you?" But Scarface is still interested in whats going on over at the Iceberg. Even if Crane is lying, he's still brought up a interesting scenario. And at the same time, Penguin is trying to strike a deal with Tobias. They both want to be the king of the Gotham Underground, but, they're both going about it in different ways. However, when he gets there he finds out the Penguin has put together his own little band of b-list baddies. Also, the Bat-family is having their own problems. Batman has gone undercover in Blackgate to try to find out some information into what's going on with all the disappearances. He was hoping, as Matches, to be taken with the rest of 'em. But, he was only arrested. So now he's trying to get info from the inside. But someone has sicked Zsasz after him. Somebody who wants him dead. Nightwing has also gone undercover in the Gotham Mob to try to figure out what has happened to Batman. And Robin, who's trying to hold the whole thing together, has gone to Oracle. But while there, they are attacked by someone. Someone who is either really fast, or invisible. Several blows are struck before Robin can take 'em out. But when he does he finds Spoiler laying on the ground. In usual Batman fashion, this was a fantastic story and book. My only regret is that it's only 9 issues long. But, you have to enjoy what you can . . while you can. Right?
