“Soft Targets, Part One of Four”

"Soft Targets, Part One of Four" kicks off a tense, grounded thriller in Gotham Central #12, where a sniper's deadly strike during a city meeting kills the Mayor, plunging the police into chaos. With Superintendent Purnell and an investigating officer also felled in a second ambush, the M.C.U. is pushed to the edge—forcing them to call on Batman by turning on the Bat-Signal. Written by Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka, with striking artwork by Michael Lark on both interior and cover, this issue sets a relentless pace with the Joker still at large and Gotham’s institutions unraveling.
