    Blah Story and long co-feature

     

    The Good

    If you really liked the Jeremiah Arkham story from Arkham Reborn story line then you will most likely this story.

    The Bad

    This is the second part of this story line so if you haven’ picked up the last one don’t even bother getting this one you will be very lost. If you didn’t read the Arkham Reborn miniseries then don’t bother either, much of this plot is tied back to the mini’s story line.

    Some characters (namely Batman and Gordon) feel very out character in this issue.

    Overall

    Even though the story has various twists and turns, the overall feel is very bland. The art isn’t bad but it doesn’t reach out and grab you.  Just very blah.

    3.5/5

We get to see a guest appearance of a character in direct continuity with another bat-tittle.   Jester, I love it XD   The Good   The cover, love it, there is not much to it to the story but there is something in the cover I loved.We get to see some kind of "origin" to Jeremiah's Black Mask identity and some pieces of the puzzle are placed...
