Well Gotham city is under siege by the League of Shadows and has a nuke set to go off as Team Bat takes on the Lady Shiva. The core of the fight is between Cassandra and Lady Shiva.
A lo of the bat family have roles here but Tynion really does the readers a favour focusing on Cassandra, flushing out her character. She is a bit of an enigma like many characters gracing the bat family but she has true charm and charisma. Her dialogue with Shiva as they fight is some strong writing in my opinion.
Not only do Tynion's words really make me enjoy Detective currently but the art oh my golly holy beauty batman. Its not just the pencils however much I feel they complement the story, but the inks and colours the whole team really paints the issue in brilliant splashes of what I think comics should be. An exciting gorgeous visual medium of storytelling and hopefully this creative team sticks around for a while.
