COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Not Just Gothtopia submitted by valjean on August 24, 2018, 10:26pm Detective Comics during this era is pretty good for self-contained Batman stories that don't particularly tie into other DC Comics or even other Batman titles, which can be good for just some light Batman reading. The Gothtopia story is a 3-part story about an alternate universe Gotham that is pretty cool to see highlighted. The rest of the book has other stories in it, too. Of note, is a special set of anniversary vignettes featuring Batman throughout the years, from the past into possible futures. You may not want to read every issue contained here, but it's worth a flip through to see what catches your eye.
