Imbuing me with a new sense of optimism for Tomasis run, Im curious to see what comes next for our stranded hero and the villains at play.

While there are moments that display a deep understanding of our titular character, The Brave and the Old suffers from poor pacing and a bizarre focus on ancillary characters.

Dubbed The Rising Sun, Tec #1011 manages to stick the landing, providing an enjoyable battle with heartwarming character moments.

My hope for this run has been thawed from its cryogenic chamber, emerging revitalized and energetic. This is an excellent beginning to a long-teased arc.

Tomasi and Mahnke continue our Mr. Freeze story, and with it, they continue to defrost my trepidation. Indeed, this is another solid entry that is worth checking out.

Snyder and Tynion do an excellent job with this prelude to their epic climax, catching up lapsed readers while balancing epic stakes with fulfilling character moments. I cannot wait to see where we go from here.
