GCPD: The Blue Wall

No one said protecting a city like Gotham would be easy.

Still relatively early in her tenure as GCPD commissioner, Renee Montoya sets out to rebuild her department and restore public faith in the historically troubled PD during some of the worst conditions it’s ever seen.

But Renee can’t do it alone—in order for her plan to work, everyone from the topmost officials all the way down to the most fresh-faced new officers must contend with the harsh realities of being a symbol of law and order in a city of super-powered saviors and superhuman lawlessness.

From the stellar team of Academy Award-winning writer John Ridley and artist Stefano Raffaele. This collection is a thought-provoking and riveting story of everyday people trying to do good in the midst of a flawed system. GCPD: The Blue Wall collects the entire six-issue miniseries.
