Gotham Central ran for 22 collected entries and is one of the most acclaimed comics Greg Rucka has written. Co-created with Ed Brubaker, the series follows the detectives of the Gotham City Police Department Major Crimes Unit as they investigate cases that often involve Gotham’s supervillain population.
