DC BLACK LABEL

With two issues to go, smart money says Murphy can't top himself as the work he exhibited here is exceptional. Wise money, on the other hand, says never doubt the talents of Sean Murphy. Read Full Review
I would love to have been a fly on the wall when AndWorld received the script and art for this book, because I yelled out a multitude of expletives when I read the issue. They not only had to read it, but then transfer those shocking, powerful words to the page! Another job brilliantly well done. Read Full Review
White Knight should be on your shelf! It's a must read to get you into this series that Sean Murphy is painting for his readers. This issue shakes it down to the core a bit. Again, no purposeful spoilers here, but the last few pages make you gasp for breath! Read Full Review
I look forward to the next issue to find out more. The whole history of Edmund Wayne and everything that involves is really interesting and fun to read. Read Full Review
Murphy brings the same beauty and brilliance to the art which has a poetic symmetry that complements the story. The angles Murphy uses to enhance the drama as well as the contrasting grays and reds throughout add an awesome tone to each page. Read Full Review
Of course, this is assuming what the Joker says is true. And it might be hard for Batman to disprove what his old rival said, given the way Batman: Curse of the White Knight #6 ended " unless Jason Blood lends a helping hand. Read Full Review
Murphy's been show-running this comic nearly solo from the start, and it's evolving into one of the most promising Batman alternate universes in years. Read Full Review
Again and again, I find myself struggling to find one thing I don't like about this arc. Between each plot twist and reveal I'm constantly at the edge of my seat wanting to know what happened next. Not a moment in this series leaves me in a bore and I need more. Read Full Review
"Batman: Curse of the White Knight #6" is Sean Murphy firing on all cylinders and drops more than one bombshell on readers. Read Full Review
This is a good sixth issue with so many reveals and plot twists you may need to lay down after reading it. The Elseworlds method of storytelling continues to show how exciting and surprising superheroes can be without the limitations of canon. Read Full Review
Batman: Curse of the White Knight #6 reveals that thing Jack told Harley to keep from Bruce, and boy is it a doozy. It's the sort of thing you couldn't get away with in-continuity, but that makes for an effective shock here. The action is intense, the emotions strong and believable, and the visual storytelling is on-point. If you decided to pass on this series, you're missing what will hopefully be a much stronger finish than what we saw in the first White Knight. Right that wrong, catch up, and join us as we race to the conclusion over these next two months. Read Full Review
While mileage may vary on the reveals of this issue, the art work and character beats are well worth the price of admission here. Read Full Review
An imperfect but ambitious work. Read Full Review
Overall, Batman: Curse of the White Knight is a little bit more of a mixed bag this month. As a whole it comes out more on the positive side of things than the negative however, it leaves one wondering what is really left to explore for another two issues at points. Sean Murphy's art is still incredible each and every issue which almost makes the series worth it to me personally right there. I just can't shake the feeling this sequel is missing a bit of the magic that made the first iteration so gripping. Read Full Review
Stellar art continues to buoy Curse of the White Knight, even though some very questionable narrative decisions. Read Full Review
Best issue yet by far. I knew a plot twist was becoming but Sean Murphy has blown away my expectations. And don’t get my started on the last 2 pages...
Prelude:
I'm just realising how many Batman issues are coming out this week. Anyway, I've been loving Curse of the White Knight so let's see how Murphy goes with this issue.
The Good:
Like always I love the historic aspect.
Love Azrael but that's a given for this series.
Murphy delivers some amazing art.
I love the twist and turns in this issue.
It's just really entertaining.
The Bad:
Nothing.
Conclusion:
As has been par for the course so far, Murphy knocks it out of the park again. I love every single aspect of this book and can't wait for the next issue as we reach the end of Curse.
Ride or die with Harley!
Murphy continues his masterpiece. It always blows my mind up to see the series exceeding my wildest imaginations without becoming borderline fan-fiction, which often happens to products really trying to satisfy the fans. What also terrifies me, is how much I care about every character in White Knight. As I write this review, I feel in my hands I'm one step from shaking, that's how intense this comic made me feel. Just think - when Tom King killed Alfred of, I felt literally nothing, that's how disconnected I was with his run. Here, when Harley and Jack... I mean Joker, were in danger, I was invested, scared for both of them, hoping they're fine. How did Sean Murphy manage to make me fall in deep love with all the characters in merely 15 issmore
" This part of Arkham has spécial meaning for me-- it's where i first met Harleen Quinzel. A virtuous young Woman who would turn this place around. If you could cure the Joker, you could cure anyone. And that's why i made you into Harley Quinn--i took their greatest hope... And turned you into their biggest embarrassment--an inmate. You didn't beat me. Napier did. You couldn't have done it alone. That's why you keep aligning yourself with powerful men... Me, Napier, and now Batman... Because you're weak. And now your children can see for themselves how hopless their mother really is. "
- JOKER
This was another heavy hitting issue in a very enjoyable series. The shocking reveal that Bruce isn’t really a Wayne and the Joker getting shot were definitely surprises. The storytelling has been near flawless. One criticism however in this issue. Maybe I missed something but how does Batman not know who Jason Blood is?
Kick ass ending
THE GOOD:
-Pretty good issue. Nothing spectacular.
-Great art, as usual.
-This comic is always pretty cinematic. It feels like a blockbuster movie put in a comic, and it comes with all the pros and cons that entails.
-The twist here was pretty good. Nothing original, but I like it.
-The end was well done.
THE BAD:
-Unfortunately Jason Blood's appearance was limited only to a shit-ton of exposition and not much else.
-The Wayne lore has lost all interest for me.
Honestly, pretty much everything besides the ending has left me cold. I don't like Harley and Bruce as a pairing. That reads like bad fanfiction to me. I don't like the Wayne lore. It just bores me. Azrael is kind of a drag. I want to like this comic but I find it mediocre.
I’m back to not liking this one so much. I could not possibly care any less about this history of the Waynes. I think the Joker-Jack Napier thing is lame.
