100 Days of Batman Day 17, Auogust 12th. 2016.

This night we continue on with Detective Comics #876 of the Batman: Black Mirror story.  In this issue we see the story switch back from Comissionor Gordon to Batman. A dead Killer Whale has somehow found its way into the lobby of one of Gothams banks. Gordon has the whales corpse brought to the lab at Wayne Enterprises for examination and also ask Dick Greyson to meet with his son. He needs the opinion of someone who is not emotionally involved.

The comic was a little slow but also creepy and good. It is certainly WORTH YOUR TIME. Don't go into it expecting anything super exciting and keep in mind it is very much an issue used to transition back to Batman. It's strongest point is  with the mystery it provides about the whale which keeps you interested enough to not feel bored. It also is leading into what I think will be a much more action oriented next issue,  as well as answering some questions I have based on how it ended. Is it as good as the previous issues in the arc? No. But it is still well worth your time to read.
