    Batwing #30 is another great issue.  Luke Fox may be going down a darker, more violent path, but Palmiotti and Gray also throw in humor and heartbreak.  Pansica's art is action packed andsome of the best in the New 52.  Highly Recommended. Read Full Review

    Big things are in store for Batwing and he might just find himself in over his head. He's playing on Menace's turf and quite frankly he might not be in the proper mindset to make it out of this inevitable encounter. This storyline has proved to show so much of what Luke is capable of when facing the possibility of being pushed to that point of no return for a hero. What comes next is something I anticipate and hopefully it does not disappoint considering everything Luke has been put through. Read Full Review

    IGN - Melissa Grey Apr 2, 2014

    Pansica's pencils are again wonderfully detailed and his talent for explosive action is well-utilized in Batwing #30, particularly in the showstopper fight scene between Luke and an army of Egyptian-themed underground thugs. Julio Ferreira's inks and Paul Mounts' colors don't shy away from darkness -- a wise aesthetic choice given the subject material. It's fascinating to compare this Batwing to the version we saw several issues ago -- this is character development done right. Read Full Review

    I feel the same way about this individual issue as I do the arc, it does some interesting things with Luke's character and how it relates to his "mentor" in Batman, but the setting is just uninteresting and forgettable. I'm used to having fun with this series, but these past few issues have sort of lost that spark. I'm right down the middle with this one, not great, not bad, it just's okay. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Andrew Asberry Apr 3, 2014

    Great artwork and plenty of action, but I can only enjoy it if I imagine it existing separately from the rest of the Batman line. A subterranean city? Giant anglerfish monsters? It's wild and over the top fun, but it's also too weird for something that's actually part of the mainstream continuity. Read Full Review
