    There are some surprisingly emotional moments in this final issue, which hit all the harder when compared to the supernatural storytelling. I think this goes down as a new Batman classic. Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Adil Syed Feb 26, 2024

    The art and colors continue to be absolutely phenomenal and is the main draw for me with this book. I actually think this style and design would work amazingly well for an animated film. Ward understands the visual aspect of the comic book medium like few others right now. I hope to see him do more work at DC, and in Gotham specifically, in the future. Read Full Review
