A great conclusion to the court of owls saga. The semi introduction of owlman into the main universe was fun, and the mystery of who is Lincoln March is a fun to ponder. Overall masterful wrighting both story wise and monologues. The 3 extra stories are also great. The Wayne's and Harper's stories both contrasting how the rich should spend their money helping the city instead of the owl using it to keep them on top. The freeze story however has me in 2 minds changing his backstory cheapens his character but the dialogue is so masterful it just might make up for it. Overall an excellent start to this epic run.
