Another issue "King" sized, meaning it took 5 pages of story and made it into 22.
Art was fun though, a nice throwback to Year One.

Continuing the trend of King rolling out a bunch of issues that I'm disappointed in - each with some really cool stuff but the usual execution issues, decompression, so on. But then punctuating those with a really solid issue that I really like. I really liked this one. I like the low-key Question cameo and I like Bruce, even lost in issues that are just bad dreams, actually using a smidge of detective logic, because if this is all in his head it sure seems like the last line of the issue is him clicking that "Catwoman lied" in her note - perhaps even putting the pieces together logically that it might mean her decision was manipulated.
I'm not sure if that sheds light back on the other Knightmares - like if I go back I might see what other dots in the conspiracy he's connecting with each ... episode.
Anyway, beyond liking this one and generally finding all the Catwoman-centric issues to be King's strongest, the big bit I liked about #66 is the artwork. Man that's gorgeous.
Retro315 no more. Anonymity is so 2005.

some world's greatest detective.
I’m actually really enjoying this arc, and have been enjoying King’s run. I totally understand why people don’t like it though.
Also, loved the art in this one!!
