After... another... extended moving break, NML Crossing is back! Today we're going to be discussing the penultimate chapter of "No Law and a New Order" by Bob Gale and Alex Maleev. We're also going to be talking about the proceeding chapter, since I neglected to share my thoughts on that last time out!
In this issue, the GCPD adapts to the new normal of No Man's Land... by crossing a few lines into ruthlessness! Also, our titular hero finally returns and makes his presence known!

It's taken us over two months... and many, many, many hours to get here... but, today we finally enter NO MAN'S LAND!
Welcome to the "new normal" where apples are worth more than diamonds, crudely-sharpened spears are more valuable than firearms, and the GCPD is nothing more than a roving street gang. The Penguin rules the roost, and Batman hasn't been seen in over three months... or, has he? We're laying the first few bricks in our massive year-spanning crossovent... and it's gonna be a good time (for us anyway, notsomuch the poor Gothamites).
