It's a shame there aren't many comics like this but we can still get bombarded with multiple flavors of Justice League and The Avengers every month. Brubaker and Rucka weave a realistic tale about what it would be like operating a police department in a world full of super heroes.Įven though I'd read the entire run before, Renee's tale jabbed me right in the feelings quite a few times. The artwork, particularly Michael Lark's, perfectly suits the tale, painting Gotham in grimy, dark, subdued colors. It's basically The Wire set in Gotham City. The GCPD tackle super villains, corruption, and a bunch of dead Robins with good old-fashioned police work. It's also the tale of Crispus Allen, Marcus Driver, and others. The book tells the tale of the downward spiral of Renee Montoya, outted as a lesbian and disowned by her family, seeking out violence for relief. Freeze, The Joker, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Doctor Alchemy, and others, all the while trying not to involve a certain Dark Knight Detective. In this massive tome, the cops of the Gotham City Major Crimes Unit have their hands full with Mr. The cops of Gotham City have it rough, what with the spectre of Batman looming over them. This was my second time reading the entire run. I read and reviewed Gotham Central in individual collections. Gotham Central tells the story of the detectives of the Gotham City Major Crimes Unit.
