"The Black Mirror" which kicks off the volume has a good plot, but really knocks it out of the park on its characterization of Dick slowly becoming Bruce [7]. The story about James Jr. that runs across "Skeleton Cases" and "Lost Boys" is an excellent view of Gordon's family and its most scary member, though the ordering seems a little wonky in this reprint [9]. "Hungry City" is another fine and very thoughtful mystery, though the continuation of the James Jr. story formssome of its best points [7]. The three-parter about James Jr. that ends things is really quite good, and nicely conclusive for the volume as a whole [8].
