Riddle me this: where’s another Zero Year volume?

The art style is still nice with a lot of pink elements, cool panel layout and some scary episodes. Also smoke and rain look amazing.

Riddler proves to be even smarter with every appearance and the riddles get progressively more difficult. Also Gordon's character is very detailed and provides a new point of view from inside the police.

Still very confused about the scenes with a crossbow, though. And some flashbacks are a bit strange.

Sadly there’s no next volume, at least this one is really large compared to most other volumes.
