Much like many of King's books, we're left with one issue to go and I still have no idea where most of this is goingbut I'm fascinated. Read Full Review

As a whole, this issue is a good entry in the series. I felt the pacing, plot, and art all made for an enjoyable read and Im still invested in knowing what will happen next. Read Full Review

Jason Shawn Alexanders art is perfect for this dark, gritty and gothic story. The visual style reminds me of some of the best of Frank Miller in tone and visual appeal. Read Full Review

This chapter of the Gotham Nocturne felt like a significant course correction. There's a purpose and plan in motion beyond Batman stumbling and fumbling around. If Ram V can keep the arc at this quality, it could still turn around to be a mostly successful run. Read Full Review

Reading like a sequel arc to his wonderful Catwoman run, Ram V brings up the intensity and character focus in this story, and Dan Watters and both art teams match that skill beautifully. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #1077is an atmospheric story that drags its feet delivering anything but atmosphere. The art and writing do a wonderful job immersing you in the desperate city of Gotham on the brink of collapse, but the story is content to cover largely the same ground as the previous issue. What plot we do get raises questions about the details of how and why everything is supposed to work. Watters' backup provides a refreshing tale of family and the struggles that come with letting yourself be close to the ones you love. Read Full Review

Jason Shawn Alexander's grittier art style is a good fit for this particular arc although there's a tonal dissonance between the gothic and strange horror of the previous arc and the more grounded "heist" theme of the current arc. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #1077 felt a bit different once again, which was a good thing. I really do have high hopes for this book moving forwards, as there have been some moments that really were awesome. I hope that as we build towards what seems to be an end of sorts that things keep moving in the right direction. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #1077 takes another big step toward cleaning up this series's act by toning down the bloated language and focusing on a clear, directed plot. Setting up a heist to save Batman is an intriguing idea worth following, and the art is mostly good. Read Full Review

This issue proves how DC needs to treat Catwoman better. Selina Kyle is an incredible, complex and indispensable character to the Batman myth. The dynamics, connection and importance they both have for each other is spectacular. (And I'm not just talking about a romantic relationship, but the respect and admiration built over the years.) Well, this was without a doubt the best edition in a long time, not only because of the brilliance of the new characters, but the pacing seemed less slower than in previous editions.
