The "cops of Gotham City" story has been pursued by various creative teams over the years, but none more ably than by Actual Crime Writer Ed Brubaker. Here, he lays out a simple, straightforward remit for Gotham Central stories going forward - a broad cast of characters and hints of traits among them that can bring them into the spotlight in future stories. The plot's pretty thin - but that's a trait of comic books.  Brubaker's the best of the best and this is his introduction to one of his best productions.
