"RISE OF THE DEMON" part five! Just as Bruce Wayne had feared, the experimental new Bat-suit has altered Terry's mental state and turned him into a colder, deadlier Batman. Trapped in the lair of Ra's al Ghul and surrounded by the League of Assassins, the suit may be the only thing that allows Terry and Bruce to survive. But at what price?
Family drama is always messy; this isn't a simple situation that can anyone can punch their way through. This is a confrontation long overdue. There is also the issue of Terry's suit going full rouge and of course Damian's over-the-top plan. Batman Beyond #10 helps to set up things for a thrilling conclusion though I can't predict what that might be. As much as I enjoy a good fight seen I do love backstory, especially for characters I care about. This was a good read and while it helps to read at least the previous two, which makes a good starting point for new readers. Read Full Review
I appreciate Bernard Chang's artwork, perhaps in part because it reminds me Howard Chaykin. Chaykin has a distinctive style, which Chang seems to have taken and refined. I see this mostly in terms of layout than in actual rendering, though it does appear there's a bit of a swipe once in a while. Read Full Review
Jurgens continues to deliver a great read with "Rise of the Demon." Damian continues to be the most interesting aspect of this arc, and I really hope we get more interaction between Damian and Bruce in the near future. As for Terry and his suit" I could do without that. Read Full Review
"Rise Of The Demon," PartFive is a total roller-coaster ride of an issue. The tension rides through every page and leads to a conclusion that definitely has me on tenterhooks for the next instalment. Four weeks can't go by fast enough. Read Full Review
The title feels like a true continuation of the cartoon. I have to say that bringing Bruce back has revitalized the series. Read Full Review
Either Damian Wayne has become one of the strongest super villains in the DC Universe or Terry McGinnis has got a long way to go before he's worthy of the mantle of Batman. Read Full Review
This has been one of the strongest arcs of Batman Beyond and this dialogue-heavy issue makes it easy to see why, just as the art team makes it easy and pleasing to pour through the panels. Read Full Review
Fun, fast, exciting read each week. It's interesting to seethe paths of these well known characters, and having moments of yes, of coursethat happened. I also like thepsychological dance that Damien does to avoid admitting he was hurt by Bruce'sseemingly indifference towards him. A good breakfast read. Read Full Review
Great action, fantastic art, and a family drama between three Batmen made this a fun read. The only complaint is having to see one of your favorite characters become evil incarnate. Still, the build up of Terry McGinnis and Damian Wayne in these past few issues has been a joy to read. Read Full Review
Overall, it was okay. The story was slow, but the art was pleasing to look at. Read Full Review
I was having fun with this arc but it seems to be two issues too long. I guess the next issue is going to be the arc's final issue, but it needed a severe cut down for the sake of pacing. Bernard Chang's art continues to stun, but the story was severely lacking. Read Full Review
We delve into Damian Wayne's backstory in this issue and really, it's nothing you didn't already figure our from reading this arc so far. Yeah, there's nothing much to this issue at all and like so many installments to this series, it only seems that we're reading it for the cliffhangers because the majority of the issues just seem to be filler to pad out the arcs. The art's great, but that's about the only great thing here. Read Full Review
I'm enjoying this future version of Damian. But why did they do Goliath dirty like that? Also I would love to see Jon Kent with future Damian at some point. Super Sons Beyond
This version of Damian is fantastic, but the problem here is that we advance 5 seconds later into the plot. Next issue is the last of this arc and will probably be really rushed. Also, I don't care if the suit is messing with Terry, I'm now 100% on Damian's side. Really cool concept for a story, but the past issues have just been repetitive.
