Spoiler travels to Monster Town to join Anarchy who plans to free the people of Gotham and offer them a life that Batman cannot. Will Stephanie Brown betray Batman for the Anarchy? Elsewhere, Clayface is at pain to keep his sanity the longer he stays in clay form. Can he overcome his personal fears?

I enjoyed reading this issue which pits Spoiler’s morals against those of Anarchy and Batman’s. She questions Anarchy and seemingly Batman just to get close to the villain. We know, of course, that she is motivated by something else, like her quest for Tim Drake but writers James Tynion IV and Christopher Sebela leave just enough mystery for us to face the big revelation next issue.

Carmen Garnero is a great artist with solid anatomy and interesting backgrounds. The action portrayed is not always clear, but the comic remains entertaining throughout.

Rating: 8/10
