Gotham Central: In the Line of Duty / Greg Rucka et al / 2004 / pp116

um, a comic book. a good comic book, put here for completeness' sake. it's the first 2 issues of a comic book focused on 2 shifts of gotham city's police department (so it is set in batman's universe but only includes batman tangentially, when he interacts with the gotham police department). it's so embarrassingly nerdy. but i love it. it does underscore why i do not buy individual issues: if i only had one issue of gotham central at a time i would pass out from the anxiety of wanting to know what happens next.
