The DC event that almost wasn't is still a pretty good book with the biggest showdown on the horizon. A pissed off Superman, a blood thirsty Wonder Woman, and a baby faced Bruce all barreling towards the end of this book. Read Full Review

This feels just like a Frank Miller graphic novel. It is slightly reminiscent of 300 which isn't a bad thing, considering that that was one of Frank Miller's best. Read Full Review

The Master Race #8 is a great read if you've been following the series as a whole. The relationships between allies and friends are explored, and we actually see that the members of the Justice League are more than just members " they are actual friends who'd die for each other. Read Full Review

An excellent issue as an all out war takes place, but you'll be left scratching your head as far as where it wraps up. Read Full Review

The Dark Knight III has plenty of spectacle and visual excitement to offer in its penultimate chapter. Andy Kubert directly channels Frank Miller's work on 300 as he chronicles the ultimate battle between Amazons and Kryptonians. But the story feels more spartan than ever in this issue, which calls into question whether a an extra ninth chapter was truly necessary. Read Full Review

While it'snot without its flaws this story continues to be a worthy addition to DarkKnight lore for this Batman fan.  If you'vestuck around for this long in the series, through the delays, you're treated toan epic battle issue, light on Batman, but heavily featuring Wonder Woman andthe Amazons in all their glory.  Read Full Review

As with the Dark Knight books of the past, Miller tends to make things political. However, on this issue, it is pure action, with the payoff of the buildup from the last issue. Yet even with that, it feels like it falls flat. Sure the Amazonians and Kryptonians are duking it out, yet it feels as if it gets us nowhere. Read Full Review

If you've been reading this far, there's no question. Buy this issue. It's fun, some great action, and our Dark Knight has a Benjamin Button moment. If you're new to the story? Wait for the trade. Read Full Review

Recommended to anyone with the patience for both Azzarello's penchant for violence and Miller's particular brand of psychosis. Read Full Review

If this series has been stretched to add an extra issue, it shows, because it feels like the story has been padded and there's a lot of filler here where it's just pages of the Amazons rearing for battle and not getting there. Read Full Review

Although the penultimate chapter of Dark Knight III: The Master Race isn't bad by any means, it reads like an excerpt taken from a larger piece of work. Read Full Review

I won't give up hope for this book. The bones of something good are here. I want the team to come together and deliver a solid conclusion. Read Full Review

This series wasn't good, still isn't good, and it won't ever be good. I'm certain the last issue will do nothing to change that. If, for some reason, you like all the nothing that's been done so far, or if you're reading for the morbid curiosity of it (like me) I guess picks this up. Otherwise, you can, and should, steer clear of this one. I can't wait to see the conclusion that won't actually be a conclusion and only lead into more of Miller's mad ramblings. Read Full Review

Try as I might, I just don't care about this book. It has long since lost any narrative momentum, made worse by endless delays and constant filler. The few bright spots are overshadowed by narrative cheats and endless, confusing fights, and the backups are a continuing case of diminishing returns. When this series was announced it seemed unnecessary, though it's debut was promising. Sadly, each passing month just proves how pointless an endeavor it is. It goes beyond bad; it's forgettable.

This was a fast read and may seem like filler, but I enjoyed it and I'' enjoying series. Despite it being a 'filler' issue people seem to forget a major thing happened in this book (spoiler warning) with the dark knight returns batman no longer being old due to lazarus pit and is probably set up now for future dark knight series. Miller said he's planning another one. I thought the art was great. I hope the last issue is a fitting end for the series.

No, this isn't a good comic, but it is amusing in a peculiar kind of way. We continue in this issue with a lot of Kubert's imitation Dark Knight Miller art, and it's okay, I guess...? The mini-comic is a showcase on how rough actual Frank Miller art has become, but, it, er, features the return of Bruno, a.k.a. Nazi-tits? I can't say don't buy this because I laid down $5.99 for every issue so far and will do so again for the finale. So, there you go...

Great Wonder Woman action sets, but the art has never grabbed me. A few iconic-looking images don't fully compensate for some of the scrappier panels.

This series over-promised and under-delivered. It's based on one of the most iconic comics in history but you feel like it's just a hollow sequel that just can't reach those lofty measures. The talent associated with this book is top notch even if Miller is taking a back seat to Azzarello this time. For what it is, the series has taken to long to finish. It'll be 18 months by the time this chapter is finished and so far it's been a strange ride. Essentially the master race is a bunch of Kryptonian zealots and I'm still struggling to understand what their endgame is? They are after a baby with Amazon and Kryptonian blood, Jonathan and wants his sister Lara at their side. Actually, that's the only interesting part about this issue, that Lara leaves with Quar's followers. Overall, if it weren't for the mini-comics, I'd be hard pressed to recommend this comic. more

Unfortunately this series has been a big let down and this issue does nothing in regards to helping it.

You know the drill by now.
