Consider this another vote for interspersed commentary. I prefer the more natural flow to a 'wall o' text' at the end.

I'm pretty sure you're the one who encouraged me to buy 'Batman: Featuring Two-Face and the Riddler,' and thanks again for that. It's got some pretty neat stories in it, including this one.

One of the things I like about this story, and there's a lot to like, is the fact that despite the seemingly plausible story and characterization there's still a touch of the fantastic to it. Harvey's particular illness doesn't have to manifest in a way that is immediately recognizable as something to be found in the DSM for it to be compelling, and for Harvey to seem like a genuine human character. It's as seemingly simple as 'everyone has an internal monster, let's see what that means for Harvey,' but with a good mixture of all the subtly and nuance a talented writer can bring, AND all the fantastic visuals and extremes in storytelling you can expect from the medium. It's a serious story that doesn't forget it's a comic, and uses that to its advantage.

Which is one of the reasons I like the 'we.'
