This is a good build up to the event, Dark Days: Metal, that is going to be happening in the next few months. This was a little confusing in areas but I understand that, with it being a prequel to the event, that they can't give too much away about what is going to happen in the event. Also I didn't like the art in some places in the comic.
I've started to like DC comics a lot more in the past months and one of the writers I like is Scott Snyder so I hope the event will be amazing.

Pros:

* James Tynion and Scott Snyder's brain child ergo strong story .
* set up to what appears to be an intriguing mystery .
* Batman heavy ,so Batman fans will be excited.
*

Spoiler

possible return of the Outsiders

* Links of the story with all the previous Tynion and Snyder work make for a cool easter egg
* The LAST PAGE !!

Cons:

* The art .
* Little action almost none .

Verdict:

* Buy it ! Absolutely

adventurous challenging dark mysterious tense fast-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? It's complicated
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Okay so this has me seriously confused and seriously excited, this has immediately introduced so many factors, and I bet Scott and Gregg were planning this from the beginning of the New 52, the only downside for me is John Romita Jr's art, like it isn't bad, but it isn't good, if he was the only artist, I could ignore it but his art besides Jim Lee's make its badness stand out more. Other than that I really loved this and can't wait to see how it all ties in.

Decent setup mystery for the DC comic event. Looking forward to Metal.
