Future State: Gotham #1 Review: A Future State Retread With Striking Features
✖
DC's "Future State" event gave readers an intriguing look at a possible future for the DC universe and its heroes and, with the event over and things shifting ahead in "Infinite Frontier," stories that show how the narrative reached the bleak reality of "Future State" are starting to carve that path. It feels, then, a bit unexpected to have a series simply remain in that future reality but that is exactly what
Future State: Gotham #1 does—taking one of the better general storylines from the event series and giving it a bit more room to grow. While more of Joshua Williamson's take on Jason Todd is certainly welcome, the comic has a strange specificity that limits its appeal and may leave most mainstream readers wondering why DC is dipping back into "Future State" already.
