A NEW CASE KICKS OFF WITH A GRUESOME DISCOVERY! CASE 02: The Voice of the Tower, Part I There is a strange tower in Gotham City where the voices of the living and the dead echo. Its inhabitants are in a standoff with the police--with one officer dead and another held hostage inside, a riot seems all but guaranteed...unless Batman can navigate the building and save the missing police officer. But what the Caped Crusader discovers is that the people of the tower are following the direction of a single, strangely familiar voice that thrums throughout the building...and the voice wants blood.
Diving into the past of Batmans detective days can be a challenge. Watters, Sherman and the team put together a near perfect start for the latest case. Excellent writing builds the foundation for a mystery. The incredible visuals of Sherman evoke a throwback mod-esque feel that gives this tale a unique presence. Trust me, you dont want to miss this.

There are, of course, plenty of tracks left for the group to turn things around. Read Full Review
