Overall,Batman Eternal#15 takes a big risk by throwing a sudden change in direction from crime story to supernatural thriller, but the execution of this idea just doesn't fit the overall theme or feel of the book, which leaves regular readers feeling a bit cheated. As this series has typically been strong since it first debuted, there's no doubt it will rebound in the weeks ahead and this issue will be all but forgotten. That being said, I still highly recommend the series and suggest that if you haven't been reading it, check it out!

Overall, the art is stellar and is attractive enough to make the book funto look at, but the story is a tad bit uninteresting for anyone other than a die-hard Hulk fan. Of course, this only being the first issue, things could drastically improve over the weeks and months ahead, so it's worth checking out the next few issues before drawing a final conclusion about the series as a whole.

This series is a good read for die-hard Hulk fans, who believe the Jade Giant can do no wrong, so if that's you, definitely check the book out. Those that are big into Marvel, but not really that into Hulk might find the book a little pointless, and the absence of plot or purpose a bit annoying, so if you belong to that crowd, you could probably skip this issue.

Overall, the book was a decent, entertaining read, even if it was extremely thin on plot and character development. While it's unclear what direction this book is headed in, and despite a weak cliffhanger, it's still worth picking up if you're a Wolverine fan.

Overall, the issue was a very solid read, typical of the material rolling out from the team working on this book. This series proves that a comic or even a television show, like maybe one coming up on Fox this Fall, can produce high quality stories that fans love without Batman being the focus. If you're not reading this series, jump on it now!

Overall, the book was very well done and an enjoyable read. I continually look forward to reading Batman Eternaleach week, and this issue is only keeping the fire stoked. If you haven't been reading this, buy the back issues and get caught up, especially if you love crime stories sprinkled with a dash of Batman.

Overall, Southern Bastards#3was an amazing issue. It's easy as the story unfolds to get totally sucked into the world of Craw County, Alabama. The storytelling and art go hand-in-hand like peanut butter and chocolate, leaving the reader's taste buds satisfied, yet craving more. If you haven't been reading this series, you absolutely need to pick it up, especially if you're a big fan of stories likeWalking Tall.
