Jan 01, 1970Batman Beyond: Neo-Year #1begins a new era in Terry McGinnis' life as he fights to save a city that's attempting to kill him at every turn. This is the Batman Beyond story I've been waiting for, and I can't wait to see what the creators throw at Terry next. Read Full Review

Apr 04, 2022I'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.

Feb 08, 2022That 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.

Apr 06, 2022Batman 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

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Apr 05, 2022Batman 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

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.

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

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.
