The final issue of the acclaimed revival of Batman Black & White is here, and readers won’t want to miss this deep dive into the new horrors of Gotham and ordinary citizens inspired by Batman.
• Iconic Batman scribe Scott Snyder reunites with his All-Star Batman collaborator John Romita Jr. to tell the story of a man who has been documenting Batman’s history in Gotham for a very long time-and now, he has something to say about the Dark Knight’s legacy.
• Eisner Award nominee and the artist behind Batman: Universe and Future State: The Next Batman, Nick Derington writes and draws an epic tale introducing us to two ga more
This format worked so well for Batman . I have been advocating for Wonder Woman to receive similar treatment in a Gold and Red version, or perhaps Green Lantern with a Green and White. So many heroes and so many stories! This series has been wonderful. Get all six issues as you will not be disappointed. Read Full Review
Batman Black & White #6 closes this anthology series beautifully. Offering what may be five of the best stories to come from this series in one issue, I couldn't have asked for a better way to end on. Emotions ran high this month, but it was worth every minute. I hope to see many more stories from these creators in the future; as they've all added something special to the mythos of Batman. Read Full Review
All in all, a near flawless issue and a phenomenal series destined to be a classic. Read Full Review
Batman: Black and White has been a consistent joy to read in recent months, and this finale definitely sticks the landing. Read Full Review
So while Batman: Black and White #6 may stumble a little compared to its predecessors, it nevertheless delivers some solid stories that are well worth reading. Read Full Review
The final issue of Batman: Black and White doesn't pack the same punch as some earlier issues, but it still delivers some solid stories. And while it doesn't hit any homeruns " aside from Nick Derrington's incredible "Opening Moves" " it also doesn't ever dip into the depths of being terrible. Read Full Review
Less effective are Batman rushing to save a child from a war between a pair of chess-inspired groups in “Opening Movies” and Batman and Clayface working together, sort of, to investigate the disappearance of young women in “Like Monsters of the Damp.” Read Full Review
Some of these were good and some of them weren’t but my god the gimmick grows more annoying with every colour theme anthology I read.
None of these stories are amazing, but the two best are the ones by John Arcudi and Scott Snyder.
As soon as I read the name of the writer of the first story I knew what it would be about and the message of the book. Brandon Thomas is a race-baiter if I've ever seen one, there's not a single story of his that doesn't revolve around race. 1 for the story, the guy gets a job for one reason only and he didn't do anything so far to show he deserves it. 8.5 for the second, I really enjoyed it even though the art was unintelligible at some point. 5 for the third, 4.5 for the fourth, 5 for the last one. Again, artists don't usually make for good writers.
The only good thing I can say is Thank God this waste of money anthology is over. 25 years ago the original mini-series became an instant classic that had fans clamoring for more. Today we got your usual anthology comic. 30 stories, over 20 not even worth the time we wasted reading them. There is one very major difference between the original Black and White series and this one. The original was made to tell good stories by real writers. This one was written mostly by talentless hacks so DC could make more money.
If you haven't seen this yet don't bother. Save your money, like I wish I had. Because as of this I am permanently off Anthology Batman books.
