When devastating secrets are revealed at a Marine Corps base, Batman must decide who to trust from his past if hes going to solve the mystery.
While this didn't quite feel like the finale to a volume for a flagship book, it was a satisfying read nevertheless. I maintain my position that Tomasi wrote the best Gordon/Batman stories and I think this two-issue arc helps my case. Read Full Review
While this isn't the kind of story I'd like to see depicted in the pages of Detective Comic, it was nonetheless entertaining and beautiful to look at. Although I don't think anyone is going to be kicking themselves over passing this story up, those that did get it are still in for a wild (albeit unconventional) ride. But whatever…it's a giant robot vs a giant mummy. Go comics! Read Full Review
Closing Thoughts: A decent two-part story, but the last page of the comic was by far the most compelling. I just wish more of Tomasi's run on Detective had more moments like that. Read Full Review
Overall, A good read, Very cool to see more of Gordan's past and how he still supports soldiers as well as has their support! Read Full Review
Action fans should take a look at this issue as it has plenty of action drawn in incredible detail. This two parter story concludes nicely, though it lacks the emotional oomph it was going for. Read Full Review
DETECTIVE COMICS #52 brings this series to a close in truly lackluster fashion. The book had its ups and downs during the New 52, but it was generally a solid option if you wanted to read good Batman stories that took place away from Scott Snyder's winding narrative. Unfortunately, it ends on a down note, even though Fernando Pasarin brings his A game to the issue. The story and dialogue just aren't strong enough to make this an entertaining issue, and as a result, the New 52 DETECTIVE COMICS goes out with a whimper. Read Full Review
This issue (and the two part arc it finishes) has me excited for Rebirth. Not because it leads into the upcoming event one bit, but because once it starts, I can forget about this bunch of nonsense. I don't think Tomasi was given much to work with here and he passes that on to the reader. Everything about this screams filler and I am just sorry that I heeded the call. Read Full Review
Not a Batman or a Detctive Comics story just a piece of military propaganda. No disrespect to service people but this was drivel.
