However, this comic does make it clear that the Batman is missing and presumed dead so… Well, figuring out the order of events is proving to be kind of a headache so I suggest that you just read each comic on its own merits as a stand-alone one-shot. The moon has not been pushed to eclipse the sun as it was at the end of Forever Evil #1, citizens aren’t forming gangs and fighting over scraps of food like they were in Ventriloquist #1, and Penguin is not yet the mayor of Gotham as he was in today’s Scarecrow #1. It doesn’t try and tie itself into the larger Forever Evil epic at all, in fact Gotham feels even more normal (or as normal as Gotham can be) in this issue than it did in last week’s Riddler #1. “Bullies” by Frank Tieri and Christian Duce is a pretty satisfying Penguin story for those who loved Gregg Hurwitz’s portrayal of the character back in Penguin: Pain & Prejudice. ![]()
