[a:Devin Grayson|42126|Devin Grayson|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1397363109p2/42126.jpg] is one of my favorite Batman writers, and I was over the moon when I discovered Transference was being collected into a paperback. Her intelligent and nuanced focus on the characters and in particular the relationships that comprise the "Bat-family" is always such a refreshing break from America's Next Top Convoluted Villain Scheme (though I will say that the Scheme in Transference is... buck wild). Transference is a page-turning mystery in which every member of Bruce Wayne's inner circle gets a chance to shine, and we get an intimate look at what each of them means to him as we delve deep into the Dark Knight's psyche. The art is great, the dialogue is tight and engaging, and though Grayson, like any good mystery or suspense writer, is always one step ahead of the reader, she always makes sure you have more than enough to follow her by. I'd recommend this collected edition to anyone who likes a good Bat-yarn!

Quite fun, decent characterization and art (aside from The Shot of Nightwing- oof), and overall enjoyable. Nothing exceptional, but nothing overly wanting.
