Batmans arsenal of weapons is turned against Gotham City!
Another great installment from Higgins and Fabok. Thumbs up coming from this guy. Read Full Review
This is a super fast read that makes me happy that Batman Eternal is a weekly book. While beautifully illustrated and well scripted, I'd be more hard on it if I had to wait a month to get to the next issue as opposed to just a week, since the story doesn't progress that much. While the content is somewhat sparse and spread out, it is nonetheless, engaging. Filled with action and several wonderful character moments. If for nothing else, buy it for the art. Jason Fabok kills it! Read Full Review
Another solid entry in this epic tale. Kyle Higgins handled the scripting duties while my man Mr. Jason Fabok nails the art (there's a wonderful shot of Batman on page 2 that will make anyone drool). I'm digging this direction of the story and would be satisfied if we stuck with just this story line from here on out, for I believe this will be one hell of an ending. Read Full Review
On the artwork side of this issue is Jason Fabok as the artist and Brad Anderson on colors. Fabok's portrayal of Batman is classic, he's big, he's bruising, he has some stubble and could possibly use a shower. Anderson comes in and compliments Fabok's artwork in a great way (both are quite detailed). Read Full Review
Batman: Eternal #33 certainly raises the stakes, as though the issue mainly felt like a set-up issue, the character development was enticingly immersive. Highly recommended. Read Full Review
Batman Eternal continues to please and excite. This issue is an easy jump on point for new readers, the tight story and smaller cast allow a new reader to get involved and excited about the direction without feeling lost. This is certainly a difficult thing to do in a weekly series in its 33rd installment. Read Full Review
Handling art duties once again is Jason Fabok, his detailed lines and excellent choreography again on fine display. Obviously the book's weekly pace makes it impossible to lock down one specific artist, but Fabok needs to be in the rotation as often as possible. His work lends an added gravity to the proceedings, each punch and scowl loaded with a real and visceral weight. If you passed on this weekly in the beginning, now is a heck of a time to start.

At least this issue has Fabok. His art is amazing and really saves what is otherwise a very boring affair. Read Full Review
This issue sets up so much up, but not all of it is good. Hush is busy doing something that rarely happens...besting Batman. He also has Bruce Wayne on the ropes and is about to hit him where it hurts. Julia comes out of the Cave and shows she can hold her own, but sometimes holding your own isn't enough. One of those times may be the last page of this issue. Higgins and Fabok move the book forward enough to have me interested in next week's issue. Read Full Review
Sadly, there wasn't much going on in this issue. It basically deals with one plot point and that's really it, making it one of the slower and uneventful issues of the series to date. Don't get me wrong, there's still plenty of good things to like: there's a good deal of character development and characterization, leading to a lot of interesting moments for the cast. Plus, the dialogue and pacing are solid and Fabok's artwork is amazing like you would expect (the issue had a great fight scene this time around). However, there's just not much to write home about this time around. Hopefully things pick up next time. Read Full Review
I love when the Eternal braintrust opts to let the same writer/artist duo do back-to-back issues. It helps some of the pacing problems that a weekly series can run into. Read Full Review
"Batman Eternal" #33 is a pleasant read, and honestly pleasant is a good bar to reach for a weekly series. Even with there being a bit of a stall this week, it's overall a good comic and the one weekly series from DC that continues to hold my attention with each new installment. At this point, I think it's earned most of its readership planning on returning for the series' second year. Read Full Review
I think the writers are just stalling for time at this point. While this issue has the focus that I love so much, it also doesn't accomplish a whole heck of a lot. This might be the lightest issue of Batman Eternal yet. Read Full Review
While this may not be the most action packed issue of Batman: Eternal to date, and while this issue only focuses on one plot point, this could be one of the best issues of the series thus far. We get to see some actual action from Julia Pennyworth, with her and Batman going around Gotham destroying weapons caches. We also see a brief confrontation between Jason Bard and Hush, showing us who's really in charge of things in Gotham right now. Kyle Higgins delivers another fantastic script, with great dialogue and action from beginning to end. Jason Fabok once again stuns on artwork, able to deliver fantastic looking action scenes, as well as having very detailed work throughout. This issue is highly recommended.
I really enjoyed this issue. Things are seriously heating up in the world of Batman Eternal. Another great cover as well.
Really happy that, at least for the moment, Ray Fawkes is gone and we're getting more of Kyle Higgins. The art is great, and things are happening at a really great pace.
