The Rundown: The Foxes deal with the aftermath of the Joker Wars. Jace discovers a family secret.
Three members of the Fox family discuss Jace’s recent injury and conflict arises. Later, Jace and Vol discuss a previous mission. Further research into their findings reveals something shocking. Meanwhile, Lucas Fox meets with someone that may change the future of Gotham City.
The Story:
The finale of this 12 part series ends in a manner that leaves you wanting more of the Fox family saga. There are some interesting twists that I would enjoy seeing fleshed out more. The mantle of Batman is an interesting one to be sure. And while I will definitely miss this weekly run, the conclusion felt more like: “Until next time.”
The Art:
Minimalist drawings and intense character expressions are combined with a cool toned palate in this issue. The combination is attractive and compliments the overall tone of the episode. The artwork is really engaging and drew me further into the story.
