Yeah, Gotham (Man) definitely went through some stuff in this story. I always remember the page where he tries to talk down a guy trying to commit suicide, because of how hard he tries but how badly he’s doing it, like he’s hyping himself up more than actually trying to help. It’s like a dark inverse of the famous page from All-Star Superman where Superman talks a woman down from jumping.
Yeah, Gotham Girl also has a rough time ahead. If you want to see more of her, you should look at the next two parts of this “trilogy” that starts King’s run, “I Am Suicide” and “I Am Bane.” We’ve covered these two parts on this book club in the past, so if you continue to read these, please let us know your thoughts!
