An unexpected villain has made an appearance in Gotham, trailing chaos, destruction, and horror in their wake. Now, as chaos tears a bloody gash through the sinister order of the Orghams' Gotham, Batman is the city's only hope for salvation. But is the city too far gone for even the Dark Knight to save it?
It's a dramatic plot reminiscent of how fascist governments often keep power but Batman and Gordon are getting closer to the truth. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #1086 builds towards a war with vigilante heroes preparing for a battle with the Orghams and their army. Read Full Review
Another issue in V's run that's more buildup than anything else, Detective Comics #1086 still manages to bring together the story's larger ideas and flesh out its narrative themes. Aside from a brief detour devoted to the Joker and his plan to cause mayhem, the writing and artwork both maintain a consistent, haunting atmosphere that keeps you invested as to where this conclusion might lead.

Another solid issue although the build-up seems to be inching along pretty slowly this close to the finale of this grandiose arc. Read Full Review
Detective Comics #1086 has a great cover, a great moment in the main story, and a great backup tale. Add all that up and you have a really decent read! Next issue, let's aim for a solid good read. Read Full Review
Nocturne's third act, Crescendo, has been inconsistent. This chapter was rough, and it just keeps aimlessly dragging along as it presumably builds to its long overdue conclusion. Read Full Review
The confusing, nebulous, and frustrating Orgham plot continues to be all three of those things, and while Ram V and Alex Paknadel do excellent work with the characterization of the established characters, the overall effect is still one of vague obscurity. Read Full Review
Finally a decent issue after over a year of meandering. Ram V is clearly a capable writer and seems best served for limited series where he's forced to stay focused rather than attempt to wax poetic for years at the fans expense.
