    This was a strong finale to the arc and continues to build upon previous B-stories and character focuses from previous issues. A fun end that sets up a promising next arc. Read Full Review

    This was a welcome reprieve for an arc that for too long seemed like it overstayed its welcome. With the boost of the Intermizzo, maybe Gotham Nocturne can get back on track for a memorable conclusion? Read Full Review

    This issue was a great entry that brings in other characters in Batmans quest to stop the Orgham family. I hope the plot gets back to the battle in Gotham soon though as readers are likely ready to see how the overall story shakes out. Read Full Review

    Detective Comics #1079 brings the "Let's Hang Batman" mini-arc to a close with clever twists, moody art, and an ending with potential. That said, everything surrounding the Orghams is a convoluted mess, and Catwoman's clever twist wasn't thought through. Read Full Review
