Gotham Central: DC Compact Comics Edition

Before the Bat-Signal lights up the sky, Gotham's detectives are already on the job. Gotham Central delivers a gripping police drama in the shadow of the Dark Knight, in which the officers of the GCPD face down super-villains, corruption, and the chaos of a city on the brink. It's Law & Order meets Batman – without a savior in a cape.
