I’m late to this series, but when your favorite writer of crime comics teams up with another of your favorite comic book creators and creates a hard-boiled noir police procedural set in Gotham City, you buy the doorstop of a book that collects every single issue and you revel in every single dark, gritty, and ultimately heartbreaking page. This tome helped me through a miserable 2-week-long cold and, by the time I was done with it, I wished there was a second volume.
