My monthly making-with-the-Gotham-Central-*lurve*

[kellinator]

Hey estimatdprophet, you said to give you a heads-up when the new Gotham Central story arc started up, and here it is. Well, actually I phone-posted it last night, but no one was bored enough to transcribe it, so here you go. And boy howdy is it starting with a bang (literally and figuratively) -- shades of not one but two of the all-time great Homicide storylines.

Two words: clean shoot.

Crispus Allen and Renee Montoya are what Pembleton and Bayliss would have been if Frank weren't a dick and Tim weren't a wuss. *warm fuzzies for the partner love*

Or possibly what Beau and Kay would have been if Beau weren't a total fuckup.

Okay, for my own idle curiosity, how many of you have I gotten hooked on Homicide and/or Gotham Central? Inquiring minds want to know.

EDIT: If you don't know what the hell I'm talking about, check this entry:

Mmm, if I still read comics, I'd've checked out Gotham Central on your recommendation by now. But, alas, I do not.

Homicide I tried a few times when it was on, but never got into it (didn't even like the L&O crossovers). Don't know why -- I didn't think it was BAD, it just never "clicked" with me.

I DID try The Jury because of you (but, of course, it got cancelled very quickly).

Perhaps I can lend you my copy of the first graphic novel sometime.

That'd be cool. :)
