Detective Comics joins the fall Batline event while making sure to keep threading some of its own plotlines, and continuing to bring Gotham to colorful dangerous gorgeous life. Despite how big the event is and how much action there is within the issue it maintains a smaller tight character-focused energy all the way through. Read Full Review

I'm not that excited about the return of plot elements relating to Vile, who always felt like a bizarre sci-fi supernatural plot tumor that didn't fit into the title. He was visually creepy but never really fit into Gotham's aesthetic. Still, Tamaki's handling of the characters in this book remains strong as always. Read Full Review

This issue is really good! The writing has a bit of a false start with dialogue that doesn't add much to the overall story, but the wonderfully drawn, action-packed adventure that follows is just great. Even though I dislike and definitely don't recommend the main "Fear State" storyline, I do recommend this tie-in. Don't worry if you haven't been reading Tynion's Batman; this can be enjoyed on its own as well! Read Full Review

Detective Comics entry into Fear State lacks a strong connection to the overall crossover, but Tamakis intriguing setup and Moras art makes it a worthwhile enough read as the event plays out. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #1043 was a welcome change for a book that's a tie-in to a crossover event, in the main sense that it didn't feel like it disposed of the story/style it had before. This issue's wonderfully written, beautifully drawn, and is a must-read for Bat-fans everywhere! Read Full Review

Detective Comics continues to be a strong title, but its rating this week suffers due to the backup story. Despite some pretty decent art, there is still little interest in the upcoming title. Now that the prelude is done, I am hopeful for a return to form. Read Full Review

A bit of a let down from previous issues. Read Full Review

Dan Mora torna a revista muito melhor do que ela é.
Gostei do que Rosenberg escreveu aqui, mas não me convenceu a comprar Task Force Z.

Just when I had written this series off, we get a kickass issue like this one. Love that Dan Mora art as always especially on that sweet two page splash.

not a fan of Mariko Tamaki, but htis is the best issue she's written. Which is great, FINALLY

Dan Mora's art is just excellent, and finally Tamaki wrote a good issue, but that ending with Vile is a bunch of bs, the issue would be so much better without it

Batman having to save Nakano from a bunch of crazed assassins was a good plot, but why do we have to deal with more of those Vile parasites. I've had enough Dr. Who stuff for a while.
I'd rather see Batman take on this Nero and his group of nutcases in part 2, but I guess it's more of the parasites again. Let's let the next issue be the last one with them.
Sadly it looks like Detective is on shaky ground now. It sounds like Batman's leaving Gotham so I am NOT Batman can take over. If this series starts spotlighting him and more of this Future Stare crap I'm out of here.
The backup story was a bit dull. I can also say I won't be getting Taskforce Z. All it looks like is Suicide squad with Zombies.

I expected to see something more substantial from Rosenberg, but it was a simple and unattractive writing, instead I could suspect that Tamaki was done the task, not bad, not for fanfare but decent, DC art is excellent, something that I can not say regarding the BC of RH

Tamaki's writing improved remarkably, that was good and it was about time that Mora was the only who can raised this comic.
With respect to Hood's I'm undecided, the art is not good, the writing is mediocre.

I really liked the first story mostly because Dan Mora draws a kick-ass Batman but Tamaki was doing pretty good too... up until that freaking last page where she drew Hue Vile back in when no one wanted that. Still, it was a decent story, something we didn't have for a long time in Tec. The second story I'm not fully buying. I like the direction the story goes in but in order to make Jason go at it alone Rosenberg burned a lot of bridges that could have been avoided. I see no reason why Bruce "couldn't protect him from this" and the line about him having no friends couldn't have been more further from the truth at this moment for Jason. I don't think he's been so sociable within the superhero community ever since he was on the Titans as a child. So while I am interested in the Task Force Z story, the road there was not a very good one. more

I thought the main & backup stories were both pretty mediocre. Jason is going to lead a team of freaking zombies now? I'll probably skip that one.

I don't like the mayor so it brings me joy when bad things happen to him.

This is a shoddy issue that's mostly reiterating everything we already know, while there's an action scene. And the action is not done well. The art is well-rendered, but the cohesiveness of it is sometimes nonexistent. Very frustrating to read at times. The backup is just kind of boring, unfortunately.

This time the main story was good, but I was completely disappointed with Red Hood.

La historia principal fue a lo politico, pero increíblemente no me aburrió el desarrollo, un milagro por que esto venía cuesta abajo de una forma monumental, no hay queja en el arte de Dan le da fluidez a la historia.

En cuanto a la historia que realmente adquirí este numero...nah, le falta mucho al escritor para desempeñar un buen papel en la realización tanto de la historia como de los personajes, esta estancando al personaje entre la los tres Jokers (excelente elseworld con excepción de Jay/Barb) y Titans, por favor Jason ya paso esa brecha, si quiere que los fans de Hood compren su serie tiene que esforzarse, bien lo dijeron en una critica de Urban Legends, Matthew R no es lo suficientemente bueno.

I double dare Tamaki to write a great Batman story that doesn’t just rely on Dan Mora’s beautiful art to get my money. Triple dog dare. Granted this is a tie in but holy shit we are like 12ish issues into this run and it is already spinning it’s wheels.

This book was lifted a bit thanks to Dan's art, as always flawless. The story focused on Nakano itself did not turn out so bad but there are still many inconsistencies, leap, unfinished topics and quick results, if I had not read Tamaki's work I would say that it leads to some point, but it does not, it always dilutes things and leaves them halfway.

On the other hand, Matt's writing doesn't quite convince me, he doesn't know how to shape any character, he moves them according to his personal idea, everything feels the same from Grifter, I didn't like the art of backup either, it feels so static. In short, it was not to burn the number, but it is not something in which I would invest.

This book is no longer enjoyable. s**t story and worse art work. 1/10
