5.0

Unsurprisingly, another fantastic read from King. A What If? type story, in which The Riddler suddenly changes. Dispensing with the clues and sort-of dumbing down of his modus operandi, he walks up to a complete stranger and kills them with a gun, point blank, and waits for the authorities to arrest him. But while incarcerated he begins wreaking havoc and Batman has to delve into The Riddlers past to try and figure out what’s going on. It’s dark, it’s gritty, it’s interesting, and it’s the most compelling the villain has ever been. Also the artwork is phenomenal.
