iFanbase, I need your help!

I've started a graphic novel book club in my home city, and I need some help coming up with discussion questions for this month's pick. While we've had some luck just discussing books we've done in the past, I think that some discussion questions would really help out at any lulls in the conversation. I'm used to publishers of a lot of prose (and some OGNs) creating discussion guides and book club pamphlets, DC and Marvel don't do anything like that for most of their books.

So, this month's pick is the first paperback volume of Gotham Central, collecting issues #1-5. Any suggestions of questions or topics to talk about? The group is a mix of comic readers and folks new to comics, if that helps to get the questions flowing.

Thanks!

How come nobody bought this book, when it is so damn awesome?

OK, maybe that doesn't really help your book club discussion, but it IS a question i would like answered.

I think the best questions to explore in your club would be the questions the book itself asked: How does a police force have to adapt their day to day operations in a world where super-villains exist, and how does The Batman change the way they do their job?
