Gotham Central #1 kicks off with a chilling, grounded crime story as Detectives Driver and Fields chase a lead that lands them in a rundown motel—only to confront Mr. Freeze in a tense, deadly encounter. Written by Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka and illustrated with sharp, atmospheric precision by Michael Lark, the issue sets a gritty tone from the first page, with the shocking death of Detective Fields sending shockwaves through the precinct. The investigation that follows, led by Detectives Montoya and Allen, unfolds with the kind of procedural weight that defines this series. Cover by Michael Lark.
