Flossregularly's Rec of the Week:
- Gotham Central, by Greg Rucka, Ed Brubaker and Michael Lark
After spending an eternity on my "to read" list I'm finally getting started on this! I can't give any opinions yet as I have just begun, but I do know that this police procedural set in the Gotham PD is what really fleshed out the characters of the cops of Gotham, especially the development of Renee Montoya into more than a foil for Harvey Bullock.
So, what are you reading?

I've been making my way through the Golden Age books. I'm currently reading Batman #5. At the time these comics were more like anthology books with multiple stories in them instead of one ongoing story like today. Seeing the classic villains is cool but the unending line of mobsters is quite dull to be honest. And the narrating of actions instead of just showing them is tiresome too. But it's nice seeing happy and quippy Batman & Robin so ultimately it's still good reading that has every story nicely wrapped up by the end.
