Batman has deployed one of his most powerful weapons in the hunt for the mysterious bomber plaguing Gotham City...but it's not the Batmobile, the Batwing, or even the batarangs. It's Bruce Wayne! As Bruce investigates the courtroom bombing that nearly left Deb Donovan's daughter a splatter on the wall, could there be...love in the air?

    But Why Tho? - William J. Jackson

    May 25, 2022

    There's too much to love about this issue, and I can't say enough about it. I'm a committed Gotham Girl fan now, thanks to Grace, and have been reunited in my old love for Gotham, Batman, and Bruce Wayne, thanks to Tamaki and Shammas. Good gosh, buy this. Buy several, pass them out, and spread the word. Read Full Review

    There's some nice twists and character beats that give The Seven a layered, crime-drama feel. It's the kind of story Tamaki probably should have been doing all along and this collaboration with Shammas is resulting in a compelling and engaging mystery. Read Full Review

    Reis delivers some fantastic art filled with great action, character and mood. The tone of the art perfectly captures the mood and tone of the plot. Read Full Review

    Bruce Wayne takes a bigger part in this ongoing Riddler mystery, as 'Detective Comics' lives up to its name with some good old-fashioned character developing detective stories. Such a fantastic series that has captured some of the best street-level energy with the Bat family that we've seen in quite a few years. Read Full Review

    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield

    Could Riddler be becoming some sort of twisted vigilante going after the ones the justice system let get away? It's an interesting turn for him, although he only appears briefly so it's hard to judge his motivation so far. Overall, it's a strong use of the character as he constantly keeps us guessing.

    Comic Watch - Anthony Trudeau

    May 25, 2022

    If Detective Comics #1059 established the Riddlers scheme of sowing chaos through improbable criminals, chapter #1060 follows Batmans investigation into his foils endgame. The issue is largely made up of rising action until a legitimately surprising conclusion. Where that development takes the story will determine the success of the wider arc, but for now readers will have to settle for a competently crafted Batman comic. Read Full Review

    Detective Comics is laying out a real mystery for Batman to solve, one that seems to be roping in both allies and enemies. Read Full Review

    Dark Knight News - James Attias

    May 24, 2022

    Detective Comics #1060 felt like a palate cleanser compared to previous issues, so it's not the comic you're going to tell your grandkids about… but it's still definitely one worth reading! Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Theodis Wright

    May 24, 2022

    As we come closer to the end of Mariko Tamaki's run on Detective Comics, I can't help but think that there was more to the story she wanted to tell. It's unfortunate we won't get it. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Matina Newsom

    May 25, 2022

    While this issue builds on the mystery started in the last, it generally feels lacking. I want more investment in the characters, more Riddler, and more of Batman and Bruce actually getting answers. Instead, much of that is told, and the story almost seems to fly by. Hopefully things will wrap up in a more satisfying way next month. Read Full Review

    Weird Science - Jim Werner

    May 24, 2022

    I am unsure how this story became a mess after only two issues, but here we are.  Detective Comics #1060 looks good, but that's the only positive.  July can't come quick enough! Read Full Review

    I have loved every minute of tamaki's detective run and the love continues with this issue. The story is compelling and a blast to read. I love the detective work and the way the charecters are written. The artwork is gorgeous throughout. The backup story is fun and interesting as well. I can't wait for the next issue. This is great!

    Detective Comics - 8.5/10, this was a significant improvement compared to the previous part, really enjoying the way riddlers used here Gotham Girl - 7.5/10

  • 8.0

    It's kind of nice to have a regular down to Earth Batman story again that doesn't have the characters going on and on about the impact the last big event had on them and that isn't 8 or even more parts long. Tamaki's run is nearing its end, and it wasn't so bad. It was better most of the time than the regular Batman series. It's nice to see for her last story she's not going for some big thing in the end like most writers do when their time as writer of a title is up. Reis is a good artist, and it's nice to see him on a Batman book, but his Riddler is absolutely hideous. What is the deal with that atrocious facial hair? As if the sideburns they damned him with in the New 52 onward wasn't bad enough. That and Talia's completely pointless ca more

    Entertaining enough. Pretty pedestrian but the art is really good. The ending is a little static but at least the mystery is interesting.
