On Acid Mode

It came out over 2016-2017, several years after that'd finished - part of what Dynamite Entertainment was doing with Battlestar Galactica then.

It's a comic of something that wasn't originally a comic where the script and art aren't " This should've just been a photoplay. "

It's very neatly spliced into its source series - issue #1 opens on the " Blackbird ", the stealth Viper built in the season 2 episode Flight of the Phoenix.

Colonial Fleet-wide news echoed the note on which that'd ended - the Blackbird's construction as a reminder that " We can accomplish miracles. "

( That pricked Gaius Baltar. )

The Voice is the Ventriloquist's Scarface - the Tower is Bledin Towers, a Gotham City apartment building.

Scarface's voice is guidance - he's a symbol under which some of " Bleedin' " Towers' residents've rallied, against the City's demolition plans. They've killed one Gotham cop and taken another hostage - Jim Gordon and others're outside while Batman's made his way in.

Issue #5 had Batman finding that the Ventriloquist wasn't from where Scarface was emanating - he was in the Tower, but his tongue was cut.

Someone else was speaking the gangster's words - not the Towers resident who was apparently his second, but that man's abused wife. She'd ended #5 killing her husband because Scarface told her to - and then turning to the hostage cop, who'd been restrained witness to the act.

#6 opened on Scarface's others rushing in: " What the hell happened here?! "

( She told them. )
