‘Detective Comics' gothic horror epic kicks into a new gear as the overall plots begin to collide and a deadly darkness exerts its will upon the already suffering Gotham City in ‘Detective Comics' #1067. Finding avenues not traveled is tough to do with Batman and his heavily used rogues, but this creative team, both in the main and backup stories, has struck gold to create something powerful and unique. Truly a Batman and Gotham story for the ages, surely destined to be a classic. Read Full Review

I know there's a common complaint among comic readers that there are too many current Batman stories. But reading this issue, I can see why this is the case. There are so many ways to tell an exciting story with the Caped Crusader that limiting those storytelling opportunities would be a shame. I love unique, original takes on a popular character, and this issue has piqued my interest in seeing where the story goes from here and the future fate of the soul of Gotham City. Read Full Review
Another solid issue of Detective Comics that frames Batman's familiarity with Gotham as a weakness instead of a strength. Read Full Review
This is another good entry in Ram V's Detective Comics run. While the slow and steady nature of the series can feel a little too slow at times, I do appreciate the work put in to really flesh out Gotham, Batman, the Orghams, and the various other aspects coming in to play. It's also nice to see characters like Mr. Freeze showing up and existing in Gotham, rather than always having a firm plan for destruction or mayhem. And the backup is still as strong and impactful on the main story as it's proven to be so far, wrapping up Two-Faces's three part story here. Overall, this is a solid, fun read. Read Full Review
Ram V and Ivan Reis heat up Gotham Nocturne with a cold appearance of Mr. Freeze, weaving continuity into their own dark symphony quite enjoyably. Spurrier and Sherman's backup ably sets up what's to come with Two-Face as well. Read Full Review
Detective Comics #1067 makes some much-needed progress on the plot with an Orgham-sponsored takeover of the Narrows. The art is fantastic, and the plot looks like it's taking on shape and form, but the needlessly heavy dialog and narration drag the story to a crawl. Read Full Review
Wow! This is absolutely brilliant in every conceivable way!! The writing is phenomenal with artwork that is stunningly beautiful and perfectly conveys the tone of the story. Ram v is already one of my favorite all-time writers as it seems everything his name is on seems brilliant to me similar to the way I feel about Johnathan hickman. The same can be said about ivan reiss and when you put the two of them together you have detective comics issue that is pretty much perfect in my book. The backup story also delivers in a major way! Both writing and the artwork are stellar! I love every panel of this issue! What a beautiful time to be a comic book reader!!!!
This continues to be the stronger of the two main Batman titles for me. As Ram V peels back the layers on the Orgham family, I find myself more and more enthralled with these new villains. The various masks used by the family members felt like a fantastic idea plucked right out of the Morrison era.
A slow burn, sure, but fascinating as ever.
This isn't bad, but I really don't find the new villains interesting at all.
Well, here we are, 6 issues and one annual into this already long enough saga and nothing has been resolved and the Orgham family is getting less and lesser interesting than any prolonged villains since Bendis' Invisible Mafia. The worst part is we're not even really started on anything either. The last 6 issues have just seemed a prelude to a much longer and tiring ordeal to come.
Unless you're a fan of serialized prolonged stories that will probably not end until the writer leaves the book, this probably isn't for you either. Save yourself an additional $5 a month, as I'm likely to start doing soon.
I'll grant there are some interesting things here it's just not enough for me and is taking way too long to keep my interest.
Continues to be a boring, slog of a read
