Gotham
City Garage is under siege. The forces of Lex Luthor are hitting it constantly,
sending re-programmed civilians in a bid to assess the garage’s strengths and
weaknesses. Why? Because Luthor’s prized enforcer Batman is held captive inside
(It’s a Palpatine/Vader relationship), and Luthor needs him to keep a lid on
the Garden (Gotham City).
Those inside
know it’s only a matter of time before Luthor has enough intel to make an
all-out assault. But no sooner do they form a strategy of their own than a new
threat emerges – one with abilities they are ill-prepared to handle.
In other
reviews, I decried the use of benday dot patterns as an illustrative technique.
I don’t actively dislike them. It’s just that any tool has a time and a place
to be used, and here it is used effectively. It lends shading and adds texture,
with diminishing the art as a whole.
As the gang
in the garage seeks to add to their ranks, I am hopeful we will be able to see
other variants of long-time DC characters. A few have been mentioned, and
others alluded to vaguely. But no doubt there will be a few surprises along the
way. I look forward to that.
