From Damian's rebellion to Batman's conversation with Bullock, this is one of the most pointedly political books out of DC I've read in some time, and it's all the better for Taylor's passion over this issue. Read Full Review

The fight against Asema takes a personal turn with its latest chapter. Taylors writing brings out the fatherly aspect of Batman as the case heats up. Janin and Abbott craft phenomenal images that not only elevate the story but Damian Waynes heroic side. This story keeps getting better and better. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #1094 further drives home how Tom Taylor and Mikel Janin's run is one of consistency. You can always expect the story continue to develop at a steady pace that moves every aspect forward. Read Full Review

I really enjoyed Detective Comics #1094. The Bat-tech is fun and exciting, the relationship between Batman and Robin is complex and warm, and the artwork continues to shine. Read Full Review

'Detective Comics' #1094 continues to unfold its mystery slowly, with Batman overseeing Robin as he goes undercover to a prison for youth. I can't talk about this comic without mentioning Mikel Janin's covers, this one in particular, has all the important players spread out under Batman's wings, beneath the shadow of the mysterious Asema and Scarlett. Their pink and red colors light up the sky, which makes for an intoxicating cover to look at. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #1094 is another strong issue from this team, one that steadily builds upon the rhythms of classic character relationships with fun story scenarios and a mystery that grows less and less predictable as it once seemed. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #1094 has a lot to say about the injustices of the juvenile prison system, and it's going to make sure you know that. This sometimes manifests through emotional, character-driven scenes, but too often becomes a series of soap box speeches delivered to the audience more than anyone else. There is still a decently interesting infiltration mission underneath it all if you can get past the heavy-handedness of the delivery. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #1094has the makings of a rock-solid detective story when Damian goes undercover to find a connection between the murdered teens. However, Tom Taylor's nasty habit of overdoing his stances on social ills, such as the prison system, weighs the plot down and takes you out of the story more than once.5.8/10 Read Full Review

This was probably my favorite chapter in the story so far. The writing is spot-on and the art is just perfect.

Someone wrote in their review that the story is too political for their taste, because it supposedly criticizes juvenile prisons. Well... maybe it's just a story.
When did we start interpreting any individual situation, person or institution in a story to be an allegory for a whole demographic, system or political situation? Maybe Gotham just has a really bad juvenile prison. We wouldn't have superheroes if we didn't have corruption and evil in their worlds.

For me this was perfect.

I really enjoyed this issue. As an Occupational Therapist student who is learning more about prison and recidivism, this hits close to reality. I like the politics in this story because it's written well by Tom Taylor. I also think this is Mikel Janin's best work so far. I hope this run ends strongly. I like Tom Taylor's vision for the World's greatest Detective, and for once I didn't mind Damian Wayne

A bit of a comedown from previous chapters but overall still a very enjoyable read that manages to move the story forward, even if the juvenile prison story is a bit of a detour from the main action with Asema. The best part is watching Batman save a teenager’s life in a race against the clock.

I've been liking Taylor's Detective run but this issue is a prime example of the decline from Taylor's greatness of the past. As someone who agrees with Taylor's politics on the prison-industrial complex and appreciates when fiction subtly teaches the reader about social/historical injustices, I find Taylor lacks the finesse to weave such themes within a story and lately prioritizes expressing his views above the story. This leads to characters dialogue feeling odd at times to just plain after school special preachy. Hopefully he gets his groove back focusing on story while still educating uninformed readers on issues within our society.

That said the issue was still good with excellent art. I really liked Damien taking on the guards and not being able to help him self from reacting. more
