About this Collection

This volume collects the acclaimed storyline 'Half a Life' from the Gotham Central series, focusing on Detective Renee Montoya as she faces a personal crisis when her secret life is exposed, forcing her to navigate corruption and danger within the GCPD. Written by Greg Rucka with art by Michael Lark, the story delves into Montoya's struggle for justice and identity in a city overshadowed by Batman's presence.

In "Two Down," Detective Montoya finds herself at the center of a storm when a suspect she arrested sues her after being freed on a technicality—only to die under mysterious circumstances soon after. As Internal Affairs begins to investigate, a shocking photo of Montoya and her lover appears on the precinct bulletin board, turning colleagues against her. Written by Greg Rucka and illustrated with sharp precision by Michael Lark, with colors by Matt Hollingsworth and letters by Willie Schubert, this issue deepens the tension in Gotham’s already strained police force. The cover by Michael Lark captures the unease with a stark, intimate portrait of Montoya, her expression caught between defiance and dread.
