“The Rule of Thumb”

In "The Rule of Thumb," Tom King and Rafael de Latorre deliver a sharp, character-driven tale of The Penguin settling into a quiet life in Metropolis after stepping back from Gotham’s criminal underworld—only to find that his past isn’t done with him. With his children now running the family business, his peace is tested by forces that refuse to let him stay retired. The story unfolds with quiet tension and a touch of dark humor, rendered in bold, expressive art by de Latorre and Maiolo, with crisp lettering by Clayton Cowles and a striking cover by Scorpio Steele and Stefano Gaudiano.
