    Clayton Henry's art really works well in this issue. The style is great and there are some awesome visual moments throughout including the fight in the warehouse as well as the depth and detail in the batcave. A great looking issue. Read Full Review

    With a great last act twist that doubles as a callback to Watchmen, it's a gripping and exciting issue that continues to show off how well this book switches genres at the drop of a hat. Read Full Review

    As I said, Henry's art is fantastic. I like the attention to detail (like creases on Batman's gloved hand in the above panel) and the horror. This does feel a bit like a Cronenberg film. So not a bad read. The art alone elevates. Read Full Review

    Batman/Superman #10 - Ultra-Humanite's gorilla body bites the dust. Or does it? We can't be going into the toy closet only to let the family pet destroy our antiques. Come on DC"let's keep all of our action figures in pristine condition! Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Jim Werner Jul 28, 2020

    Batman/Superman #10 is the definition of an ok issue.  Not a ton happens, and the pacing is off at times as we slowly get to the all-important cliffhanger.  I love seeing the Ultra-Humanite since he doesn't make a ton of appearances, and I will be back next issue even though I'm not very excited right now.  Clayton Henry's art was good enough, and Joshua Williamson didn't piss me off.  I guess that's something, right?

    Sequential Planet - Ethan Maddux Jul 30, 2020

    Batman Superman #10 succeeds in delivering a pure and focused superhero story. On the other hand, it doesn't ask you to think too much. At different times of the day this dichotomy strikes me in differing ways, but I at least never find it boring, and that isn't nothing. Add Clayton Henry's versatile art style into the mix and you're left with a book that doesn't aim to challenge, but still ends up feeling worthwhile.  Read Full Review

    It all makes for a fun if relatively light adventure featuring two of DC's biggest icons, and that's plenty to warrant some of your time. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Casper Rudolph Jul 28, 2020

    This book desperately needs more energy, and a little bit more originality wouldn't hurt either. The writing and the art get the job done, but it's all rather lackluster and formulaic. If the problem was strictly bad art or bad writing, then that would've been a bummer, but at least it's something that creators can improve on. When the problem is lazy writing, however, even when readers just perceive it as such, then that's just frustrating. Read Full Review
