The news on the airwaves of Gotham City is that Batman has killed Penguin, marking him as a fugitive from law enforcement. The criminals of the city see this as a chance to usurp his empire, starting with the Iceberg Lounge. Before all hell breaks loose, the Executor asks Catwoman to find all of the children Cobblepot had out of wedlock. Written by Chip Zdarsky with artwork from Belén Ortega, colors by Luis Guerrero, and letters from Clayton Cowles, The Penguin #0 collects the backup stories from Batman #125-127. As Penguin gets his own show at Max spinning out of The Batman universe, DC lays the groundwork for a Penguin solo comic book series.The Penguin #0 opens with Finbar Sullivan and the Yakuza fighting over the Iceberg Lounge as Catwoman tries to stop them. Just then, the Underbroker interrupts the scuffle to introduce the Executor, an android with vast knowledge of the law and the enforcer of Cobblepot’s will. In seven days, Executor will read its contents. But first, he requires Catwoman’s services. He pays her half a million dollars to track down ten of the Penguin’s children whom the maniacal mobster had with mistresses over the years. But Selina soon finds the task difficult to accomplish when she uncovers a sinister plot: each of her client’s targets turns up dead one after the other, and the clues point to one person.Despite being named after Oswald Cobblepot’s supervillain moniker, The Penguin #0 has less to do with the titular character than the aftermath he leaves behind. The central conflict revolves around the current power vacuum in Gotham as vultures circle to claim their pound of flesh. Incidentally, the focus is on Catwoman, who becomes embroiled in the affair after trying to get people out of harm’s way. The events play out from Selina’s perspective as she follows clues to the location of Cobblepot’s children. This is when the story takes a sudden turn toward murder mystery. The narration is well-paced, with a sprinkle of action and a solemn heart-to-heart at the end that reveals the true fate of Penguin and the actual intentions behind his last instructions.RELATED: REVIEW: DC’s Knight Terrors: Batman #2
