Full marks for fast paced, decompression-hiding action but even the best action doesnt fully cover the fact that the big "national level" threat here wasnt all that threatening. A rather tame ending to a promising start. Read Full Review

This is a very generic Batman story. Heavy on action, light on pretty much everything else. There are some sections where I really enjoyed the dialogue and some that I can't stand what's being written. That might honestly just be how I feel about Andy Diggle though. He's a real 50/50 guy for me. Also not big on the art. Like at all. At first I was thinking it was a little rough, the faces look awful but when Portacio has Batman in frame it's amazing. Well the further the book went on and the more Batman was used in heavy action scenes it all fell apart. I wanted to like it but by the end of it and knowing the turnaround Lex Luthor has in his career after trying to subjugate the world with an army of robots (granted the "one who did it" was a robot that looked like him) is so unbelievable that the world would ever let him be redeemed. more
