Aug 02, 2022Marquez delivers some beautifully detailed art on every page. I love the different locations and character moments. Especially how the art makes you feel like part of the moment. Read Full Review

Comic Watch - Tyson Yurai
Aug 02, 2022Batman: Killing Time might be one of those few books that I collect in single issue and trade form. Tom King, David Marquez, Alejandro Sanchez and Clayton Cowles may have created a modern masterpiece that you can recommend as someones first Batman story and I can only hope that this team comes back for more!

Aug 02, 2022Ultimately, it's a very strange story but a far more satisfying one than the recently concluded Batman/Catwoman. Read Full Review

Aug 03, 2022While not perfect, the story remains a fascinating and engaging piece of Bat-lore and certainly is one of the best Batman stories of the year pound for pound. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Aug 02, 2022It's an exciting time to be a Batman fan as this story offers some resolution and satisfaction. For a story that toys with time, it's exciting to know regardless of the characters, the creators did something different with the comics art form and made you think a rare thing in Batman comics.

Batman-News - Matina Newsom
Aug 03, 2022As a final issue to this series, King does a great job wrapping up the story here. What was essentially the heist and mad dash after an ancient artifact comes to an end here with the story behind it all laid bare. He does this using Clock King's own POV and narration to wrap up final story threads, and check in on each major character we met along the way. His, and even Batman's motivations are revealed, and the story comes to a satisfying conclusion. This is a miniseries worth reading and re-reading just to catch everything you missed the first time around. Read Full Review

But Why Tho? - William Tucker
Aug 02, 2022Batman: Killing Time #6 does not leave with the same majesty as it started with, but it tried really hard to. What is certain is the glorious art by both Marquez and Sanchez has made this comic a visual masterpiece. And for the majority of the comic the plot is well-crafted and poetic in its narration. The characters are interesting, but their conclusion does not always fit the power they had in earlier chapters of the series. All of these roads were meant to land in the same destination, but many of them hit a dead end. Read Full Review

Dark Knight News - Eric Lee
Aug 06, 2022Overall, the whole mini-series was a fun crime chase story arc. There were twists, mysteries, and plenty of action. It feels like more than just a typical action comic, without being too ponderous. Batman: Killing Time #6 provides characters and scenes that are fun and enjoyable, so much so that they almost overshadow the series' flaws. Read Full Review

Lyles Movie Files - Jeffrey Lyles
Aug 02, 2022Maybe its not a shock that Kings latest mini-series couldnt stick the landing. This has been a common theme of the majority of his recent work. Hes got plenty of ideas, but continually fails to put it all together even if hes got all the time in the world. Read Full Review

Weird Science - Gabe Hernandez
Aug 02, 2022Batman: Killing Time #6 completes the run with a finale that's all exposition and clarifies what we've already suspected. This series was nothing more than Clock King doing something because he had nothing better to do. The art is gorgeous, but the reading experience was intentionally, unnecessarily tedious, and the big revelations fell flat. Read Full Review

Great end to a fantastic mini. Not as strong as it started but filled to the brim with great art and great writing. The villain of this arc doesn't get a lot of good stories so its good to add one to the list.

Tom King may be overrated, but I got to admit. This series was pretty good re-reading it. I do appreciate it now that I binged it. The new character is still annoying. This is the only good Batman series by Tom King

I guess it was a satisfactory ending. It's a good thing comics aren't aimed at kids anymore because all that back and forth would totally confuse even the smartest of them. My favorite part was Riddler shooting Pottymouth Espinoza. My least favorite part was she had to survive. Thanks for letting us down Riddler. I'll have to deduct a whole point for that. I sure hope King has enough sense NEVER to bring that character back. King has done a good job with this mini making up for most of the bad work he's done over the last 4+ years. Though I think he should take a little time before trying to make another. I also feel this is a good enough place to end this mystery and King should not bother with 20+ issues of follow up stories.

Amazing writing, but confusing "Inception" ending. Still, this is King's best Batman work without a doubt.

I'm not sure this really stuck the landing. The eye, the thing everyone was after, was sold to a pawn shop. We still have no idea, and why the government wanted it. And the agent living from a gunshot wound to the head - it's hard to believe. Plus this is a very different take on Catwoman. Not sure I like it. The artwork is beautiful, however, I just wish the ending was better.

I owe Tom King an apology for some of my earlier comments on earlier issues...Clock King being the narrator makes a lot of sense. Ultimately, the mcguffin for this series is pretty underwhelming and this last issue was pretty anticlimactic
