This issue proves to be a must-read as evidenced by valuable story progression, and stellar images. Highlights include Gotham Girl's inner battle with fear from her run-in with Psycho Pirate, Spoiler's problem solving skills, and an attention grabbing ending to further advance the script. With 3 issues left, the feeling of uneasiness rises as the action and sense of crisis accelerate. Pick up Night of the Monster Men part 4 in Batman #8 coming mid-October. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #941 is a thrilling and unsettling issue that works. It advances the plot and ups the stake with energy and efficiency, without forgetting to do a little character work, and manages to be surprisingly gory and creepy, though not inappropriately so. While the idea of Batman vs giant monsters is kind of silly, it's a kind of silly that is familiar and acceptable to anyone who reads comics on a regular basis, and winds up working as a result.

For all its flaws, Monster Men really did get better with this issue, with an intriguing cliffhanger and outstanding art. Andy MacDonald is truly one of the best artists working for DC even if he doesn't have that many credits. MacDonald also drew Detective Comics #942 so I'll be looking forwards to reading that and hoping the whole crossover maintains this newfound level of quality. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #941 is a great issue.It's fun, exciting, and best of all, shows off the new Bat-Family. Not to mention Clayface being awesome and helping in what must be the most relatively mundane way possible. Read Full Review

Though this issue has some minor hiccups, they're not enough to deter me from seeing where this ride goes. I am anxious to see how this new and recently damaged “Team Batman” fend off the latest threat from Hugo Strange. Read Full Review

Nonetheless, there is a lot of action and a great ending with some shocking implications for the future of this story arc. It's an enjoyable read on its own, and it makes a great chapter in this crossover so far. The story is a bit more fantastic than Batman fans might be used to, but it's turning out to be a very fun rollercoaster ride. Read Full Review

A stronger inker is needed to enhance Andy MacDonalds artwork. At point, his ink coverage work. At others, it is too light and gives a Vertigo Comics feel to his work. Although dealing with monsters, the Vertigo look should not be what this series aims for. He can draw gory stuff, although not as well as Ryan Ottley or Howard Porter. Read Full Review

All in all, as crossovers go, it's still one for ‘tec fans that aren't invested in buying the other issues. It progresses the overall arc nicely with only a few niggles, and provides a fun, lively read. DC haven't dropped the ball yet with their flagship title, and it doesn't look like they're going to any time soon. Read Full Review

So far, this latest Batman crossover isn't particularly deep, but it is entertaining. Read Full Review

This was the best chapter so far of Night of the Monster Men thanks to Orlando focusing more on the characters and less the monster spectacle. The next installment is slated for two weeks. That was slightly disappointing as Rebirth's every week format worked well with a crossover. Read Full Review

Orlando has been able to find a nice balance between the major players involved in the arc thus far, and that dynamic improves in this issue now the expository dialogue is out of the way and we’re into the thick of things. However, this issue could be a warning that the thick of things isn’t that thick. The creative team deliver a solid issue with strong action and some interesting character development, but the third issue of purely fighting the Monster Men may leave you wishing that Batman #8 shakes things up dramatically come October.

If you want to see a super-powered person tear a Spider-Monster-Man in half, then you've come to the right place. While I am still adamant that this isn't the kind of story I'd like to see in the pages of a Batman comic, despite that, I still enjoyed it far more than the first two parts. Read Full Review

Though unlikely to be a crossover that really shakes the continuity of the Bat-Family up, Night of the Monster Men continues to respect the current storylines of its three titles with this issue of Detective Comics. Read Full Review

Steve Orlando ups the stakes in this Night of the Monster Men crossover issue, but the thing I liked the most was his concentration on our heroes.  A couple of the characters step it up big time here, but the book ends by showing us that things are going to get a lot worse before they get any better.  I can't say that I am excited for this story as a whole just yet, but this issue might be the start of me getting there.

Strong Issue

My favorite part so far of this crossover. Really liked the Gotham Girl and Nightwing scene, creepy good stuff.

This issue takes a while to get going. I'd say this third issue of the Night of the Monster Men crossover is the best so far when all is said and done. There is a little too much focus on Spoiler and Orphan in the cave with all the humans but once the monsters get a bit more attention with Gotham Girl and Nightwing this book really took off. We also get learn a bit more about what these monsters can do and how defeating them is a little harder than it looks.

I have been enjoying the Monster Men story overall, with some parts being better than others, but this issue was one of the better issues for me. Nightwing and Gotham Girl's ending sets up what might be a really exciting turn in the story, and Batman's stability after the death of Tim looks like it will impact the future of the Batman stories.

This is the best issue of this event so far, the action is more exciting and the plot seems to be going in some kind of direction, if the story continues to trend in this direction, it may be saved, otherwise it will be another generic story to come out from the Rebirth line.

Enjoying this story so far but damn did the art drop the ball this time, i feel like i should
have enjoyed this issue more and i really do feel it was the art that held it back for me.

Story barely moved along and the art is a drastic drop in quality.

This issue was an improvement on the 2nd issue, and has sured things up a fair bit. In general I am somewhat enjoying this story arc; but again it still lacks the kind of narrative depth and intrigue of a great Batman arc. The concept of Batman fighting monsters is potentially interesting; but the real lack of exposition concerning Hugo Strange has left the whole arc feeling somewhat flat and one-dimensional so far. The artwork is only okay here; obviously not as good as the artist and colours of the previous Detective Comics arc. Overall, you wonder why this crossover was really needed - the individual books were really fine as they were. Although, with all of that said, there were some good moments in the issue and it'd be hard to call any of it 'bad' per se. more

if you've only been reading 'Detective Comics' and neither of 'Batman' or 'Nightwing', you can safely skip this issue!!! . . . . . . things were going so well for this run up until NOW ! ! ! ! ! ! ! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . this may be the most comprehensible issue from the 'Night of the Monster Men' thus far?? . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . but it still suffers from the shortcomings of the first two issues of the cross-over. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . i really wish they would have just left this series out of this mess ! ! ! ! ! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
