While it's still early in terms of DC's Rebirth, right now, it's hard to think of a series that's been as high-quality and as fun as Detective Comics. On paper, the idea of a super-team featuring Batman sidekicks sounds like a derivative premise, but Tynion and Martinez prove that any premise can be a great one, with the right execution. The next installment of Detective Comics can't come soon enough. Read Full Review

It is this thematic weight to the story that really makes Detective Comics #936 a spectacular read. In just a few issues, James Tynion IV and his pair of fantastic art teams have made this series a must-have, especially for fans of the "Bat-Family" concept. Alvaro Martinez's art is gorgeous and intense and will leave readers wanting more in the best of ways. And while some readers might want a little more Batman, James Tynion proves just how independent and striking second-tier characters like Batwoman and Tim Drake can be. Read Full Review

This is a seriously good comic. It's almost easy to overlook DC's flagships, particularly in the rush of Rebirth titles, but trust me: this is one to make your Wednesdays worth waiting for. Read Full Review

It's not too late to jump into the story rolling in Detective Comics, and the good news is you only have to wait two more weeks for the next installment. Just be ready to hit your stride right away so you can keep up. Read Full Review

This comic is so good, I feel like I should shake up a bottle of Champagne and spray it all over the place as I open it up. You know what I'm talking about. You've seen movies. But seriously though, I can't remember the last time I gave three consecutive issue of any title a score of 8.5 or higher in a row. Got curious after writing that statement and checked Comic Book Round Up. This is only the 4th time that's happened in 2 years. With stats like that backing it up, you know this has got to be good. Granted, this is only 3 issue in to a 7 parter, but this has been one hell of an opener. I believe in you Tynion. Don't let me down. Read Full Review

Facing betrayal and the loss of Batman, Batwoman and her team stick together in the face of overwhelming odds. Read Full Review

This book is a blast, it feels like a great movie blockbuster. It's thought of as an axiom that the quality of a series will drop when double-shipped but so far Tynion and the 'Tec team have kept a really high standard, taking full advantage of their amazing cast and clearly placing this book as one of the better things happening in superhero comics.

To be completely honest, I'm really excited that Detective Comics is double shipping. It's up there, for me, with books like Lazarus, Deadly Class, Saga, and Wonder Woman. Whenever an issue come out, I just get insanely giddy with excitement. I've said this in every review I've written about this book so far, and I'll say it again: it's so much fun to be spending time with these characters again. Read Full Review

Without a doubt, this issue elevates Detective Comics to the upper echelon of books currently published by DC, while also making it the clear cut leader of the pack when it comes to Batman titles. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #936 was an amazing continuation to “Rise of the Batmen,” with there being some surprising twists along the way. The creative team also gave us some powerful character interactions, reminding us why the Bat-Family is much better united than against one another. Read Full Review

James Tynion IV continues nailing this book and this issue is a great combination of story, art and character work.  I know I'm loving what we've been getting because we haven't had a whole lot of Batman and I haven't really noticed it and am fine with it now that I realize.  I really can't recommend this series enough. Read Full Review

Rise of the Batmen has been a compelling storyline. Part 3 kept the momentum rolling and somehow the two-week wait is going to feel even longer for the next chapter. Read Full Review

The comic is a nice build that sets up Batman as fallible, sets Kate/Batwoman apart, and has a hell of a twist at the end that I didn't see coming. It's exciting! It's fun! And it's really cool to me. I'm digging the comic and the fact it's kept up quality shipping twice a month is impressive. I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes, and hopefully, it can continue to keep me on my toes. Read Full Review

This was another great, character-based issues, pitting these ragtag team of fun people against an ever-growing, ever-twisting challenge. I look forward to where this could possibly go next! Read Full Review

The military twist an interesting one. I'll be interested to learn just what the Bat-soldiers true mission is and why it was necessary to remove Batman and his sidekicks from the equation. Worth a look. Read Full Review

This issue rocked, we have met the enemy, and they are strong! The coming issues of Detective are going to be awesome! Read Full Review

While the overarching threat in this storyline isn't terribly remarkable, it offers a worthy test for this fledgling team. And that team itself is what's allowing Detective Comics to stand apart from the rest of the Batman line right now. Read Full Review

James Tynion IV knows the true narrative worth of Kate Kane, and has placed her center stage in his ambitious and so-far-pretty-damn-great Detective run. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #936 was not as good as the two previous issues, but still enjoyable to read regardless. While its twist is interesting, there are also some problems to it as well, especially for longtime fans. The writing is fine and while boasting a different art team than the previous two, the fill-ins still do a fantastic job at bringing the book to life. Hopefully, the next issue gets things back on track and back to the previous level of quality. Read Full Review

The tantalising question of this issue is, who's pulling the strings of the Batmen? Could it be someone close to them? A nice little twist towards the end reveals the answer and delivers a juicy nugget of personal betrayal and disbelief. The story doesn't end here then, which is a limited success for this overall mediocre issue. Otherwise, I don't know if I'd have many other reasons to keep picking it up every month. If you're a fan of the series then you might really enjoy this issue, but for me it's a little more style over substance. Read Full Review

Detective Comics is setting the gold standard for Rebirth at the moment. Tynion, Martinez, and Fernandez are knocking this book out of the park. The story and characterization is on point, paired with beautiful artwork, you just can't go wrong reading this title.

My full on more accurate review is on my website:
"Detective Comics #936 continues to elevate the series to higher grounds. What started off as a fun Fast & Furious of comic books turns into a legit story with very good twists, stakes, and unpredictability."

A very dense read and I am happy that Martinez rocked the art, which after the amazing work Barrows has been doing, I was concerned about. Tynion has a great feel for the cast and is writing at the top of his game.

And to think I almost didn't pick up this book in Rebirth! Another outstanding issue. One of my concerns with team books is not getting to know the characters well - but so far, the characters have been the strength of this title. That's not to dismiss the story, which seems to be building into something really interesting. Looking forward to next issue!

This has been a great start to rebirth for Detective Comics, a series that has in the first three parts offered a convincing and enjoyable team-up with plenty of plot intrigue and likeable characters. The artwork remains strong overall, one of the best in the rebirth line-up without a doubt. Perhaps the story lacks the depth and complexity of some of the greatest Batman tales, but it more than makes up for it with other things... overall this is a strong series and I'd personally recommend adding it to your pull list if you hadn't already.

Fantastic twist, with Tynion writing Batwoman and Tim Drake the way the should be written. This seems to be one of the best comics of Rebirth and something everyone should try.

This is starting picking up.

James Tyion has done such a great job of setting up Batman's new allies that he managed to pull this issue off without using Batman at all. The motivations of the mysterious villain have been revealed, by way for a massive twist. Things are just about to get serious in Detective Comics 937.

A slightly-better-than-mediocre Bat book. There isn't much to this issue outside of a plot twist that was telegraphed well in advance, and makes very little logical sense. Clearly the weakest among the double-shipped Bat books, but not quite terrible. Best treated as a fanservice book.

pretty mediocre issue. . . . . . . hope it gets back on track. . . . . . . . James Tynion IV most of the time is serviceable, but he's hit of miss. . . . . . . this issue was sadly a miss.
