From the rising-star creative team of Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing (Kang the Conqueror) and Max Dunbar (Batman: Urban Legends, Robin), a new future for Batman Beyond has begun!

THE SCOOPIn Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #1, Bruce Wayne has died (following events that occurred in Batman Urban Legends #7) and its up to Terry McGinnis to carry on his legacy as the Batman of the future and figure out who is behind the chaos in Neo-Gotham. Read Full Review
I've always enjoyed a Bruce-less Batman. Whether it be Damien or Dick. I like that Batman the symbol, can be anyone. Having Terry take up the mantle in the far future on the pages of DC was great. The first issue of Neo Year is fresh and at times bold. It's one of the best looking Batman books of late and should be put on your pull list if you're looking for something extra with Batman. The year of Batman beyond is off to a great start. Read Full Review
This is an intriguing first issue, although I'm hoping some more classic Batman Beyond elements will work their way in soon. Read Full Review
This is as strong a start a new run can get. Read Full Review
'Batman Beyond: Neo-Year' boldly ushers in a new era for Terry McGinnis. There's a lot to enjoy in this high-flying noir series for fans old and new. Read Full Review
That I enjoyed Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #1 as much as I did was a pleasant surprise, and it's a strong enough first issue to retroactively make some earlier choices go down a little easier. What's bad for Terry McGinnis proves to be good for us, as his new status quo is one of the most compelling and interesting things to happen in a Batman Beyond title in a long while now.

Batman Beyond: Neo Year #1 is an interesting start and more than enough for me to come back to check out the next issue. It just doesn't feel quite as new reader friendly as I hoped leaving me feeling like I missed a lot. It's not so much a start as a continuation of… something. Still, it's an interesting continuation with a lot of potential. Read Full Review
The story is very grim and serious and not very new reader friendly, but it should keep Batman Beyond fans entertained. Read Full Review
Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #1 examines a future Gotham where Terry McGinnis is entirely on his own and a Gotham-Powers Enterprises run by criminals. The art is excellent, but the narration can be confusing, and the issue lacks any emotional weight. You'll get your money's worth if you want a standard Batman Beyond issue with familiar settings and action. If you want a Batman Beyond issue that puts in the effort to grab your attention, look elsewhere. Read Full Review
Return of teryy .....it's pretty awesome to see Batman Beyond Stories without Bruce stealing the center stage
Idk about anyone else but I freaking loved this issue. It was way better than I was expecting. Art was solid and Terry's inner voice feels great. I need to go back and read urban legends #7 apparently
Been waiting for this series for around 7 months ever since the Batman Urban legends story. Well worth the wait. Terry seems to be taking a more dark approach to Batman than he has in the past with his journal entries, but I think that’s the perfect direction for a more noir yet futuristic Batman. This could be the Blade Runner of Batman comics and I am very excited to see where this goes.
Art was great, writing was good, story was okay. Decent start, hopefully it gets more interesting.
A solid start.
Interesting start. Hoping to see it get better.
There was nothing per day wrong with this issue, but there was nothing over whelming right with it. It was kind of just there not enough to hate , but not enought to hate. It was mediocre .
I miss the last under rated run of Batman Beyond by Jurgens
Is this a good introduction to the character or should I first see the animated series and then read this. Maybe not the best place to ask this but I didn't know where else to do so.
