Author Website: Exaggeration and Blank Verse
Why this must be read:
One of my favorite DC Comics titles was Gotham Central, which was unfortunately cancelled. The view of Gotham's crazy villains and crazy vigilantes through the eyes of the police officers struggling to keep the city together was unflinchingly and thrillingly drawn, and the cases had the ring of verisimilitude filtered through Gotham.
This story is like another scene from that title, and the richly nuanced voice written for Renee Montoya made me love a character I was already deeply fond of all the more.
All that and a young Mr. Grayson, but not the one you might think.
Excerpt: This is so far out in left field, she ought to end this here and now and send him back to the street. Or come up with some charge so they can hold him. Either way, she needs to take control back, needs to break this rhythm and spell he seems to be weaving. Every instinct she has says so.
But she always was too damn curious for her own good, way down deeper than her job runs. So she swallows and shrugs. "You mean the Robins?"
