Dark Knights of Steel #5 is another winner, a book filled with great dialogue and heart-wrenching moments. I'm loving this medieval universe and the new versions of our favorite heroes. I have a major suspicion that there are imposters in this universe trying to hurt the name of the Els and, in addition, There's a very suspicious kryptonite moment. Tom Taylor, please continue to pull on our heartstrings. Read Full Review

There's a lot to like here with what's going on even though a good chunk of it doesn't get the room to breathe that it really deserves. The Harley and Ivy material is what works best in this regard and it delivers another look at their relationship through an interesting and different prism, especially with the artwork. I really like the material with the Kents as it progresses and just spending time seeing Diana trying to talk with Zala about what happened, which definitely will be interesting to see how it unfolds. Kal's turn is no surprise, to be honest, as he fits in with the generational aspect so well even as good as his parents were in raising him. This continues to be a really enjoyable series that has me eagerly looking forward to new installments. Read Full Review

Dark Knights of Steel #5 got the series back on track, and by the end of the issue, I'm not sure how things will go next.  However, I do know I'll be here for it!  The art is fantastic and this continues to be one of my favorite books right now. Read Full Review

Tom Taylor and Yasmine Putri do not hold back delivering big surprises in Dark Knights of Steel #5. While the biggest surprise of this issue may upset certain fans the consequences coming out of what happened have me invested in how the characters of the Dark Knights of Steel Universe will react. Read Full Review

With the big choices this creative team is making, this could turn out to be a very satisfying and unique story. But as it stands, the series feels like it's trying to do too many things. Is it dedicated to upending expectations or to paying homage to DC canon? In trying to do both, it's beginning to lose its footing and intrigue. Read Full Review

Turns, turns and twists!

I LOVED this issue, Tom Taylor is really writing a fun and engaging DC of thrones story.
The subversion of character motivations is beautifully handled here. So many fun little twisties. My personal favorite being what is done with the ladies on the cover. I am not the most devote enthusiast of the DC brand, and i am a big sucker for genre bending.

With that said, this series has been right up my alley. This so far, has been the highlight issue. Until the next one comes out I guess. Somehow this story keeps getting better with each release.

Whew, lots of heated opinions on this one!

I'm not the biggest fan of Tom Taylor's AUs, but I think this series is managing to dodge some of the trappings of his earlier work. Everyone's talking about that one twist towards the end, but the more interesting development is the one that has been teased but yet to be shown. The seeds planted suggest that there's more going on than meets the eye.

Really solid return back to the main story and with Yasmine Putri back on the interior art. Love the twists and turns, love the unique iterations of the characters. Just all-in-all a really good book.

After two weak issues, things get interesting again.

Really enjoy this series. This might be up there with Tom Taylor's first DCeased run.

It has been a while since this came out and I just wasn't reading at the time so some of my hype for the series has waned. That being said, this is a solid issue but it kind of flew by. Not much substantial really happens until the final 5-6 pages. The classic Harley and Ivy partnership is shown and while I love it's existence I would prefer it be fleshed out instead of shoehorned in which with the pacing of this story overall, feels like we will only see it once more. That relationship deserves more than that and I can say the same for Zala and Diana. Their relationship is getting more center stage attention but again this book runs at a break neck pace. The only time is slows down is to show whatever Bruce or Kal are doing and the focus is primarily on them. That story is fine, it's compelling but not wholly original. The ending has a fun but simple twist. My biggest complaint for this and likely going forward is that not enough characters and relationships that are established are going to get their due attention to service the Bruce/Kal story. more

Another fascist Kryptonian? lame.

That cover art though, so good.

This is pretty good. The character work is fun, and the twist is... neat?

An ok book. The twist isn’t as mind blowing as reported. The world building is still great but the whole middle with Ivy and Harley was just kinda stupid. It’s some really bad dialogue.

he better be a shape shifter or something

Batman ganha tudo pra si, novamente.

If I were to think about investing in this series, it would be exclusively for the art, since the story is completely predictable full of clichés, when it is not boring. I remember someone made a comment that this would happen, Bruce and Clark would do a medieval SvsB.

Lol I love how all of a sudden there were so many copies of this on the shelf. Actions speak louder than words and these actions say DC fans are over Tom Taylor.
