Upon initially reading it I was super psyched- but upon rereading it I realised that there isn't enough in this for all of the hype it received. Perhaps the hype was the problem? If this issue came out like any other issue, I would have been blown away but this has been a long time coming now, so it didn't fully satisfy me. Either way, I'm still incredibly excited for what comes next!

I enjoyed the journey but at the end I'm left feeling disappointed.

Overall, its a good issue that is definitely worth checking out!

Overall, I found this issue to be just alright. While I didn't get as riled up about the Wonder Woman problems as some fans did, I can still see where they're coming from. I did enjoy the new concepts though and I am very intrigued by the cliff hanger!

Overall, as I mentioned, the mystery is fun and its not a bad start to this six-part cross-over.

There's a lot going on but the reader is being kept in the dark for now! So hopefully the plan will live up to the quality that this comic deserves.

I can't wait to see what comes next and for once, that goes for both stories in the comic!

All round it was a perfect issue.

Even if you're not currently reading Batman you should pick up this issue! It's a lot of fun, there's some classic Batman detective work, Swampthing is great and the art is magnificent.

I believe that if you enjoyed the short Rooftops arc from earlier in this run (like I did) then you will definitely enjoy this issue. If not, then you are unlikely to appreciate it. There is no action, so don't go in expecting Batman to be busting heads- we will inevitably return to that next issue though!

I find this whole noir story arc to be very cinematic and although we've just begun it, I think it could be ripe for adaption.

Although it strayed from the main ongoing story, it didn't feel like a step down. I'm really hoping to see more of Kite-man in the future.

I could have read it, enjoyed it and then with most X-men titles, forgotten about it but that final page makes me want to return for more.

This event truly is one to watch. We've been given little hints and snippets of what's to come in the series- and it looks incredibly exciting!

I highly recommend picking up Detective Comics, it's just as worthy of attention and praise as the main Batman title!

The series is moving at a nice swift pace, and continues to be brutally savage.I truly hope that Daniel Warren Johnson can keep this up!

The art alone is enough reason to buy this book. However, so is the story! So how lucky are we that we get such high quality of both in one book?

I think it is a great issue that shows a peek at Batman and the Flash's relationship with each other and why it works so well. Hint: It's because they both like science! It is also sprinkled with easter eggs for cunning DC fans, so keep a watchful eye and appreciate that Howard Porter art!

I'm very intrigued to see what happens next and I also feel that six issues is perfect for a story like this. However, if it continues at this quality maybe there will be demand for a sequel series, returning to this world.

If you're a Spider-fan, then this is definitely another one for your pull list, especially after that epic cliff-hanger!

I've added the series to my pull as well so I can't wait to see what happens next! I would also recommend this to anyone who hasn't read very much Guardians of the Galaxy before. It is very accessible for new readers.
