This title has consistently built since its first arc, and it's one of DC's most underrated books at the moment. Read Full Review

Batman and the Outsiders #14 presses the pedal to the gas, darting back and forth between two different storylines with ease. Now that the story is starting to pick up speed, I'm eager to see how the Outsiders deal with Ra's doomsday weapon and what Lady Shiva's ultimate endgame is. Hopefully, Soy and Gandini continue to stick around for the rest of the arc. Read Full Review

Dexter Soy delivers some beautiful visuals throughout this issue. Not only does his style perfectly match the tone and themes of Hill's story, but it also visually stunning in various moments including Jefferson using his powers as well as a subtle conversation between Shiva and Katana.

The Outsiders continue to inch ever so slowly toward their retaliation against Ra's Al Ghul. If you wanna see Black Lightning levitate or Duke teeter over to the dark side, you're gonna want to pick up this issue.  Read Full Review

Batman & the Outsiders #14 (thankfully) marks a more proactive turn for the heroes who up until this point have been reacting to Ra's plans. It also reveals to the Outsiders that Shiva is in communication with Batman and has been working, at least in part, with him for the last few issues. Read Full Review

Batman and his team have literally made the walls come tumbling down this month, so the Demon's wrath will be terrible indeed. I can't wait to see his response! Read Full Review

Batman and the Outsiders #14 (Hill, Soy, Gandini) is a pleasant surprise in a series that seems to have had a slow start. Hill has several power dynamics going with Batman, Lady Shiva, and Black Lighting that could be extremely interesting, which just might be the spark the series needs. Read Full Review

This is far from a perfect issue and overall falls short as far as plot progression is concerned. There are some strong moments though " even if they are low-key. If there's one thing I've learned though, it's to trust Bryan Hill and Dexter Soy. They clearly have a vision, and I haven't been disappointed yet. So, while I do wish for the pace to pick up a little, I know there's a purpose to everything we're getting now. Read Full Review

Batman and the Outsiders had definitely hit its stride in terms of story and while things do drag a little in terms of pacing in Batman and the Outsiders #14, the issue rightly focuses on a bit of character development"Black Lightning getting his upgraded powers in particular"in a way that starts to truly set things up for a coming battle with Ra's al Ghul.

This issue takes a huge step backward with scenes that make no sense based on previous issues, and little to no plot progression by the end.  Dexter Soy's art is good, but that's it.  I hope the next issue rebounds because this one was plain bad. Read Full Review

This was an okay issue but I just really have a hard time connecting with the characters or their dialogue. I didn’t love the pace.

This is another so-so issue of a so-so series. Bryan Hill can, on occasion, write some fantastic comics. I'm 100% genuine when I say that. Although, a big problem with his writing is his dialogue. It can be overwrought and clinical, especially when he's writing characters with a mystic sort of side to them. It really hurts this book. I mean, it's not Fallen Angels, but it's also not Angel. It's in the middle between a garbage fire and a decent time. It is, perhaps worst of all, mediocre. On top of that, some of the story decisions only make sense in the context that this guy writes for DC Universe's Titans. Some scenes here genuinely do not work and makes previous issues pointless. I don't understand what that's about. And all this is a shame because the art is honestly good. more
