No Tom King; no Superman; the addition of two more cliffhangers; and a story that continues in a different comic. Despite some highlights, as a whole, Batman: The Brave and the Bold #4 is a frustrating mess.

I found two of the four stores entertaining, but it was the two smallest. With the subtraction of the on going Tom King story and the nonsensical construction of the comic, I found it a frustrating read.

If you have been on the edge about entering the world of Impact Winter, this is your opportunity. The comic itself is put together very well and you can tell a lot of time and care was taken on it, for me it just misses what it intends to do in almost every way.

Penguin #0 sets up a very interesting situation for Oswald Cobblepot to return to once the main series starts, which saves a comic that steers very far from being a Penguin-based story.

This was not my preferred art style, and the story becomes a touch confusing at times. Overall, this is still a good comic, the ones before it were just very good.

I believe G. Willow Wilson is trending upwards with her storytelling. Diving headfirst back into Gotham, I'm curious to see what Ivy really wants.

The story by G. Willow Wilson was able to place the artists in some very fun positions in Knight Terrors: Poison Ivy #1. Neighbor Batman alone is a sure reason to pick this up, and I am excited to see what fun they are able to have in part 2.

Better than average but these X-Men related series have a tendency to start strong and fall off. As long as they continue to keep the spirit of Magneto like in this issue, they should ok.

I am a really big fan of Marcio Tanaka, and I really enjoyed the art throughout. I think his style lends very well to the Poison Ivy aesthetic and the trippy style. The flowers on both faces are gorgeous as well. Jessica Fong may have him beat this time around though, her cover is one of the best that I have seen recently, and that includes all the amazing Knight Terror art we have been getting. There are also a slew of variant covers as well, all top notch!

Knight Terrors does a great job of setting up Insomnia. I'm excited to see where the Nightmare Stone actually is and what he is going to do with it.

I really like this group together. If I'm going to be lost it better be with Typhoid Mary, her and Dust are a riot together. Another solid Fall of X title.

I am looking forward to next month's issue more then I looked forward to this one. If Tom King continues to build on this version of The Joker, and they continue to end the issues by giving us high-end styles of storytelling, I don't think there will be any problems.

Very rarely do I go into a comic having an idea of what I would like and it over delivers. I didn't think Madelyne Pryor was the right choice to head the Dark X-Men, but after the first seven pages, I was happily wrong.

Knight Terrors #2 adds another entertaining issue to the collection. Boston Brand Batman continues to be the hero we all deserve when the rest of the world falls asleep. Keep them coming.

This comic is so much fun. G. Willow Wilson hits Ivy's nightmare scenario perfectly, and the art team of Ihhan, Morales, Prianto, and Ostemane-Elhaou just seem to be having the best time bringing it all to life.

Joshua Williamson continues to gain momentum with another entertaining installment of the Knight Terrors saga. Next month can't come quick enough.
