Knight Terrors: Punchline (2023) #1
Jul 21, 2023 |
This is a well-written and drawn horror comic. The last page delivers a great cliffhanger. We see the terror in Punchline as she realizes that despite the impossibility of this situation, it is very real for her. |

Knight Terrors: Robin (2023) #1
Jul 14, 2023 |
This is a very enjoyable part of the Knight Terrors story line and also is a great stand-alone story that does not require the reader to be fully immersed in the overall story as is often the case with these types of crossovers. |

Knight Terrors: Robin (2023) #2
Aug 9, 2023 |
This story with its writing and art is what makes this kind of theme so enjoyable. The art can be fanciful and it allows the artists to have fun in their creation of the world and its inhabitants. It also allows for rich introspection of the characters and what really makes them tick. |

Project Superpowers: Fractured States #1
Apr 9, 2022 |
This is a great opening chapter and at the same time it is a great jumping on point for readers that are not familiar with the Project Superpower universe. It creates suspense and mystery as the reader is trying to find out what is going on. |

Robin (2021) #12

This issue furthers the relationships of the al Ghul family, especially Talia and Damian. It provides a great mini contrast with the relationship of Ra's and his own mother. Things look positive for Damian and Talia, not so much for Ra's and Mother Soul. The storytelling is insightful and intelligent and the art is absolutely gorgeous. |

This is an interesting premise. Use classical characters, remove them from their time and update their looks and attitudes and see what happens. This story takes that a step further, place these updated characters and place them in a different environment and see what happens to them. |

I Am Batman (2021) #16
Dec 13, 2022 |
This is the opening issue of the new arc that appears to dive feet-first into the Fox family themselves. Jace may not reveal to the entire family that he is Batman, but that does not mean there will be changes in the status quo. The first change is that Jace is not the son of Tanya Fox. This issue is essential reading for fans of the Fox family. Lucius is more than the technical genius behind Bruce Wayne. He is a man with secrets, lies, and faults. |

This story helps us get deeper into the lives of the Fox family and at the same time allows for more character growth in the main protagonist. It appears that another masked hero is now in New York in Nobody. |

This story creates a new normal for the characters. Batman has a new partner and possibly a new mystery ally as well. Jace takes on a new identity by referring to his birth father and the woman who raised him from infancy by their first names. He gives the title of mother to his birth mother. |

The art is good and dynamic with the magic flying all over the place, but the writing is really not good. I hope for improvement next issue, but it may be the curse of the end of the story and suddenly realizing that things need to get wrapped up quickly. |

A good ending to this mini arc. The art and writing is solid however I would have liked to have seen more of how Zatanna has paid the price for her magic. The death and harm to her loved ones can be shown as a powerful price a price that Cliff seems to have had to pay as well. |

I look forward to continuing to read this series. It appears that DC is willing to maybe look into other types of stories and characters and that can only be a good thing for the publisher in the future. It is good for a large publisher to diversify its offerings. |

Overall, this story and the arc had many good points, but unfortunately, the ending does not excite like many stories. This is just a last boss battle that leads into the next event. It is a shame that the excellent writing and development throughout the arc are lost with this ending. It is not forgotten; just put it on the back burner. |

I am falling out of the story, and I am focusing more on the design of the characters. The design is not helping me stay in the story but is creating a sensation that I do not care about. I am growing more and more disappointed in the direction of this story, and I am so hoping for an improvement. |

With the change in the tone of the storyline becoming evident, I am becoming more of a fan of this art style. I feel it is going along with the fantastical shift of the story from a mystery to a more horror theme. I look forward to the continuation of this theme. I am beginning to want to see more of Tim and Bernard and the growth of their relationship. I am looking forward to the issue where Tim reveals to Bernard who he is. It is evident that Bernard wants to be there for his boyfriend, and I think he needs to see that Tim trusts him with this very important secret in his life. I want to learn more about Bernard, who is he, and how he identifies. |

This is a wonderful story that has the requisite action of a superhero comic book, but the focus is on one of the supporting characters. This story opens the book on Bernard Dowd, what he knows, feels, and thinks. It also is a positive depiction of gay relationship between two men. |

Overall this is a good issue, but I have a real problem with Batwoman's depiction here. She is a person and a fighter in her own right; she is not a plot device for showing the strength of Robin. He does not need it, and it is belittling to both characters to do it. |

Interesting concept but I feel the execution is just very weak here. There is so much good character opportunities missed in just putting together a heist story for a group of the most skilled female combatants in the DC universe. I do not want to read about them sneaking around, I want to see their skill in battle. |
