This trade paperback reprints a limited series from DC Comics centered around the Major Crimes Unit of the Gotham City Police Department. The emphasis is on the procedural aspects of the cases they work, even though some of those cases involve super-villains like Mr. Freeze and Batman even shows up briefly. Written by Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka, with art by Michael Lark, this is fast-moving, very entertaining stuff with a nice, gritty tone to it. Rucka has a reputation as a good hardboiled crime novelist, but I haven't gotten around to reading any of his books yet. I like his comics work, though, and this collection is no exception.

Sounds like I've got to pick this one up. I enjoyed Rucka's comic Whiteout, and his novel A Gentleman's Game - based on characters from his Queen & Country comic - is top-notch spy fiction.
