Issue #2'd featured the Ten-Eyed Man being guided by his own map, and Azrael following divine leads.
Issue #3 had Dr. Joy, formerly of Arkham, following the Ten-Eyed Man's lead again.
Azrael, meanwhile, was following her as a lead.

Dr. Joy was in Slaughter Swamp with the Ten-Eyed Man and Solomon Grundy, listening to the former tell a story as the two of them followed the latter's path.
The story intertwined Grundy with " the beginning " of Gotham, cast him as observer and eventual victim of a city founded and feeding on madness.
It " returned him to the earth ", put him alongside a " holy man " who'd lived as one of the city's founders and died as one of its madmen.

(The Ten-Eyed Man is working under the assumption that A-Day, that act of the Joker's that let him and many other Arkhamites out into Gotham, also loosed the ghost of Amadeus Arkham.)

She dug.

She pressed the Ten-Eyed Man.

(That's " Worse on a Friday " - Grundy's speech here is derived from his nomenclative inspiration.)
Azrael did the " betrayer! " part of his spiel as he cut Grundy's head off with his flaming sword.

(Detective Stone's the policeman whom Dr. Joy's been helping with the containment of the loosed Arkhamites - he ended up in the hospital after he crossed paths with Azrael in #2.
He does not know that she's been listening to - harboring - the Ten-Eyed Man.)

(Pagecount's 7 of 22 - issue #4 came out today.
As that preview line indicates, it features Doctor Phosphorous - who is not the flaming green figure up there.
Writing's Dan Watters, art's DaNi, colors're Dave Stewart, and letters're Aditya Bidikar.)
