I just got done reading the issue and I most say it was fantastic. Peterson did a great job with the story of making it more a "This is Bruce Wayne finishing his Business issues before the end of B:GA" instead of some action-packed jibber jabber (Given, a book isn't good without action, this one had a good amount).
Once again Levins did a superb job with the artwork, it was nice and dark, I especially loved the fade-away affect on Page 18. Really nicely done. The end gives us a look as to something big is coming and it was cool like that.
Overall, 5 Stars!

Hmm, kinda small, but oh well. Anyway yes Peterson left us in great suspense at issue's end.

I was surprised at how good this issue actually was, especially given Peterson's track record on the series. I was glad to see an issue focusing on Bruce Wayne for a change. The story was actually interesting and had some great points to it. Ii fonly Peterson produced more stories like these.

Eh. Another average issue from Peterson, IMO. I liked the concept - Batman's nightlife discovers some wrong-doings occuring in Bruce's day life. But, for some reason, this one just didn't click for me. It definitely had it moments though - Batman's visit to the pool hall and subsequent disappearance into the shadows, and the somewhat sombre ending were definite highlights. Levin's art was spot on again, and I'm going to hate seeing him go. I'm giving it ***.

I enjoyed the issue, I did. Although I felt it was resolved a bit easily. The guy's fired so everything will be forgotten and everyone is happy again. That part didn't work with me. The story, and the concept, was good, though. I especially liked the art. Tim Levins is doing some great stuff here, and is throwing in some wild angles. A pleasing issue, better than alot of the recent efforts from this book.

I thought this was a very good issue. I am sure gonna miss em though. I have always loved reading them. You know, when I think of the comix ending, I remember the song "The Spy Who Loved Me."

It sat Ok with me. Peterson's best issue in a while. Was good to see Bruce as the main focus for a change, a well planned out penultimate issue. Hopefully next month's issue will complete an excellent swan song for Gotham Adventures.

I was glad to see an episode that focused a bit more on Bruce Wayne than Batman. It was something that Peterson rarely touched upon, and it was nice to see it focused upon a bit more. No doubt next month's final issue will be very Batman-heavy, so it was nice to get one last peek.

I'm the odd man out I guess. This story just didn't do anything for me. It's like the "Joe" story. I don't know, maybe I need to read it again. Hopefully Peterson's final tale will be a bit more intresting...
