Arkham City: The Order of the World #3 is a fascinating journey. The art style makes it unlike most comics, existing in a world of its own. Its an experience, a trip through a city full of beautifully twisted and tragic figures. Read Full Review
The illustrations in this piece give off an eerie vibe that perfectly suits the tone of the story. There is an intensity to the panels that is both eye-catching and emotionally engaging. I found myself completed transported into the world of the tale. Read Full Review
This series has a very deliberate pace, with certain characters being teased issues ago and only rearing their faces now. That's because this is more of a mood piece than anything else, showing how the madness of Arkham slowly infects and corrupts Gotham. It's part of the main line, but to a degree it feels more like an experimental Black Label book"well-suited for this creative team. Read Full Review
Arkham City: The Order of the World #3 has a plethora of cool concepts and ideas, but the story is getting weighed down by volumes of subtext and double meaning in every scene. While the backstory on Gotham's origin and what it means for Ten Eyed Man's ritual is fascinating, the pacing and constant injection of symbolism, double-meanings, and red herrings drag the energy down.

I really enjoyed this one. This series does get better as it continues. I'm thinking I may have to pick this one up in trade eventually. That's if it can nail its ending, of course.
This series is gradually getting better and better, the art style really suits the narrative
I want to like this, but I can't. It's not bad or anything, but I cringed every time Ten-Eyed Man spoke here. And Watters dialogue for Azrael resumes to "blashemer", "dephiler" and other stupid stuff, it's so boring. Also, Jocasta Joy is dumb af. Maybe next issue will be better, this one wasn't.
