As Neo-Gotham above falls under the unstoppable shadow of Donovan Lumos's City of Light, Batman faces down the monster that lives in Gotham's heart: the Garden!

Nov 30, 2023Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #5 does its job effectively. It doesnt have the same depth in character exploration (though the Lumos scene is quite revealing), but it does what it has to as a penultimate issue: set up an high stakes finale. Read Full Review

Nov 29, 2023Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic has evolved past being simply a Batman Beyond story and more a story of two halves of Gotham fighting for survival, and that's part of what's made the series so fascinating. Read Full Review

The Comicbook Dispatch - batfan1992
Dec 08, 2023Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #5 wasnt as captivating as other issues in this series and the plot is becoming difficult to follow. Characters seem to be coming out of nowhere with no real explanation for their return. The previous issues had a little bit more of a backstory. Its possible that more will be revealed in the final issue. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Jackson Luken
Nov 28, 2023Batman Beyond: Neo-Gothic #5is a bad comic. What once was a series that relied on spectacle over substance doesn't even have spectacle to rely on anymore. The plot beats are a mix of disposable afterthoughts and bewilderingly bad narrative decisions. Anyone who is a fan of the classic DC characters featured in this issue will walk away either disappointed or angry at their mishandling. The saving grace is knowing that the story is almost over.

Nov 29, 2023Batman Beyond Neo-Gothic #5 ends the issue with near-apocalyptic implications for this futuristic city. This is a truly dire state of affairs but handled by Dunbar's art and Beredo's swirling colors, with strange magical plants amidst neon buildings, it all looks wonderful. I truly don't know how this situation will be resolved but anything can happen and I'm truly excited to see the next chapter. Read Full Review
