This week's issue does right what the past few weeks have done wrong: stick to a story, steady build-up, and deliver… without losing the reader in the process. I put my faith back in the team behind this title when great issues like this one come out on Wednesdays. Read Full Review

This issue hit that sweet spot for me. Exactly the right blend of action to dialogue, along with much better pacing than the last few issues. The feeling of overcrowding I had been experiencing recently evaporated with the tighter storytelling on display here as well. This is one issue you should definitely pick up. Can't wait to see where this is headed, next issue is sure to be good! Read Full Review

"Batman Eternal #18" was an amazing issue because it went beyond a mundane storyline. Rather it provided some very interesting social commentary. Social and philosophical commentary is not uncommon in DC comics and when done well, can actually be really amazing (take the Joker's monologue in "The Killing Joke", or Lex Luthor's epiphany in "All-Star Superman"). So without giving too much away, I want to look at this rather unique issue. Read Full Review

Batman Eternal #18 is a very tight issue. Seeley provides a highly enjoyable and entertaining script, while Andy Clarke delivers very solid artwork. Here's to more thoroughly exciting and fun issues of Batman Eternal. Read Full Review

Really solid issue of Batman Eternal this week! The last few issues have been very light on Batman himself. It was nice to have him come back into focus and to have the record set straight on a few questions the audience may have had concerning him and Bard. One of the better reads from the series in a while. It leaves some good hooks in there, provides more clues and mysteries for the readers to puzzle out while we wait for next Wednesday.

Tim Seeley changes things up and gives fans the funniest issue of Batman: Eternal yet.  The overall story doesn't really move forward, but I had a blast anyway.  Recommended. Read Full Review

Batman Eternal #18 isn't the most dynamic issue in the series so far, but it is a solid comic. This weekly series has been phenomenal on the whole, and issue #18 drives the book forward nicely. Seeley's scripting is tight and entertaining and Clarke's art is of a consistently high quality. Some elements will be interesting to see going forward, and I'm glad I only have to wait a week to read #19. Read Full Review

This series successfully brings new elements to the forefront each week as some threads are left behind to explore new ones. It doesnt have an overwhelming amount of sub-plots going on, and is able to reintroduce you to character personalities and motives with each issue. This week were given a strong story coming from Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV that Tim Seeley is able to script out in a manner befitting to his artists talents. Scenes shoot back and forth from one another with fitting visuals as this story continues strong on its journey to one of Batmans biggest clashes yet. Read Full Review

Andy Clarke's pencils are always a welcome one, and this is especially true in Gotham City. His illustrations are full of a grit and texture that make the action wonderful to behold. His acting is also spot on with a wink of humor throughout. Read Full Review

Overall, the story is acceptable for a weekly DC published title, and one of the better issues in this series so far. Read Full Review

Batman Eternal continues to hum along at a relatively solid pace. I like some of the plots and I dislike others, but none of them rise to the level of truly enjoyable or especially deep. Read Full Review

One of the weaker issues in some time, but hopefully will be back on track next week. Read Full Review

Eternal keeps adding pieces to this puzzle but it feels like we're no closer to any sort of resolution. Read Full Review
