How'd this happen?
That's a shame. It really is. This issue started great. And I mean GREAT. It dealt with the Long Halloween (which I hated.)
Harvey and Gordon are assembling a team of honorable cops (including Bullock, who's always awesome) to take down Maroni. However, things go south when Maroni's attorney (who has a history with Den) manages to get the charges dropped by bringing up that the evidence was found outside the law. The good guys at GCPD have to try again. This time without Batman's help.
Things get even worse when other clients of Maroni's attorney start to get brutally murdered. And I mean brutal. All signs point to Dent.
But after this point, the comic went to crap. We start seeing flashbacks that make no sense in the context of the story, and Two-Face's transformation is incredibly underdeveloped and felt tacked on. The writer must have intended to stretch this story farther than two issues, but he must have been forced to include Two Face at the end. Whatever the case, it's a crying shame it happened this way.
The beginning parts of this issue are great. I mean it. But the way the issue ended, it'd feel like a crime giving this a high score.
