“Life Is Full of Disappointments”

In "Life Is Full of Disappointments," the gritty streets of Gotham City confront another layer of tragedy as the funeral for Lt. Probson sets the tone for a new chapter under Lieutenant David Cornwell’s command. Sergeant Davies and Detective Crowe dive into the disturbing case of Stephanie Becker, a Washburn Pharmaceuticals employee found dead in a dumpster—her death linked to a second, similarly poisoned body, both tied to the same corporation. Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated by Greg Scott, with colors by Lee Loughridge and letters by Clem Robins, this issue blends police procedural tension with the ever-present shadows of Gotham’s underbelly, all framed by Michael Lark’s striking cover.
