A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Realistic, gritty, and most importantly, a treat to read!"--Ain't It Cool News

"Compelling drama...a great example of the literary and artistic maturity of the graphic novel format."--School Library Journal

"Outstanding...a deft mash-up of the super-hero saga and police procedural."--Booklist

"This Greg Rucka/Ed Brubaker/Michael Lark monthly comic was short-lived but absolutely fantastic. Essentially Homicide: Life on the Street where the criminals are all costumed lunatics, Gotham Central focused on the nitty-gritty police work performed by its gigantic cast of detectives."--Entertainment Weekly

"Critically acclaimed Gotham Central was a distinctly grounded take on the Batman mythology filled with an ensemble cast who were particularly unlikely to show up in that month's issue of Justice League or Superman--imagine Hill Street Blues, but with the Joker showing up to cause mass terror every now and again."--Hollywood Reporter

"By making the Gotham City Police Department the central focus of the series, writers Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka created a comic book that read like a gritty crime fairy tale set in the most twisted city in the DC Universe."--Complex
