Gotham Central, Vol. 2: Half a Life by Jason Pearson, William Rosado, Steve Mitchell, Cam Smith, Greg Rucka, Michael Lark
5.0
Oh gods this book. It had me crying by the end. Greg Rucka, how are you so excellent.
So, you want a book that passes the Bechdel Test, that has people of colour in it talking to each other about things that aren't white people, that has queer women of colour dealing with life and family and coming out and calling queer white women on their privilege in that regard -- AND ALSO want a Batman story? HERE YOU GO. BOOM.
I didn't even know this was possible. Augh, it's just so excellent and so heartbreaking and so good and Rucka makes it look so effortless. Bloody hell.
