  Another very strong issue. I generally love how Gotham is portrayed like a living being and this issue was not an exception. As Batman said "they expect the city to support and protect them and not the other way around" and I really like that theme too. As you can see also the hero are really understanding of the choice, that some people make and this and the previous issues make it even more understandable by showing you, how bad actually the situation is. Still there are people who actually support the city or at least what's left of it, such as the doctors here and they both were really awesome. The nurse's romance with Bullock was really cure and while her conviction was really inspiring, admirable and a good reason for Bullock to fall for her and the male's doctor was not so sure, showing us a lot more realistic struggle. Ultimately his little arc was also on point with the themes too. Also I wanna note how awesome Montoya is. The end of the issue is again kinda sad and again giving that impression that Gotham maybe is really doomed, but also kinda rushed I would say. I guess that it can relate to the theme that Gotham is being punished from above(an interesting theme), but I'm not sure about that or the more plausible theme is that the city itself is against them, judging by Gordon's words. but again and i'm not sure it would make total sense. Don't get me wrong I think that the bridge falling should have happened at some point, just it could have been more powerful IMO. more
