Whether it's multi-issue story arcs or single issue character pieces, Detective Comics doesn't put a single foot wrong. I can only describe this run as consistently superb. Roll on issue #958. Read Full Review

Having been a Spoiler fan for some time, I immediately grabbed this issue when I saw she was the focus of the story. Im glad I did because its one of the most fleshed out and best takes on Stephanie Brown I have read. The whole thing makes me long for a Spoiler solo series, which I think could work if shes written like she is here. Read on for 11 reasons to spoil yourself and pick up Detective Comics #957!

Despite my problems with Stephanie's plan, and concerns about her potential ally, I'm glad to see her get back into the comic (even if I would prefer it to be as a member of the team). Worth a look. Read Full Review

I love Stephanie Brown and was excited to see her in this issue, but overall it was pretty boring.  I did love the art and the cliffhanger was interesting, but I can't recommend this issue to anyone except those desperate to some Spoiler action. Read Full Review

For a filler issue like this one is, Detective Comics #957 still manages tells an interesting, yet somewhat redundant story about Spoiler's new perspective on crime fighting. Read Full Review

While it was cool to get a little bit of exposition on Spoiler, I can't help but feel that I've seen all of this before in Detective Comics. Yes, we know that Stephanie Brown isn't a fan of Batman and she wants to take him on. But that really isn't enough to hold my attention for an entire issue. The coolest part was a new character showing up at the end of the issue. So hopefully that will provide a little bit of a new angle on this story for future issues. But for this issue, not much really happened. Read Full Review

I have mixed feelings about this issue. On one hand, I like where this storyline might be headed, and on the other hand, I don't like how Stephanie Brown is being handled. Even so, seeing Spoiler take on a villain on her own, was fun to read. Read Full Review

Thankfully, these issues don't drag this comic down completely. If one can work past the erratic inks, there is a great story at the heart of Detective Comics #957.This issue is a must-read for all those who have missed Stephanie Brown, be it as The Spoiler, Robin or Batgirl. Read Full Review

I'm sad to say this story is rather unfriendly to new readers. While it's clear that Spoiler recently had a less than amicable split from her former teammates and Batman, that's about all I can put together. I get that it's a set up issue, but that doesn't give a free pass to the writing team. Hopefully things improve from here, otherwise it's not a story I'll recommend to anyone. Read Full Review

Detective #957 fails to add anything substantial to the Spoiler saga that has been brewing since Tim Drake's departure. Steph remains more annoying than sympathetic, and neither the reemergence of Wrath nor a surprise guest add much value to what is largely a boring-but-readable issue. Carnero, Mena, and some additional inkers are the real heroes this week, employing simple-but-effective layouts and a relatively flat color finish that perfectly fits Carnero's style. You could do worse than picking this one up, but be prepared to lean heavily on the art for your enjoyment. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #957 puts an interesting twist on how vigilantes should approach heroism in Gotham City, but Stephanie’s characterization makes it hard to fully enjoy the issue. This spotlight story misses an opportunity to fully convey Stephanie’s motivations, which hurts the issue’s character moments. Read Full Review

I'm being generous. It was a good Spoiler comic and interesting trope villain for the sake of trope. But there was no Batman and so it was no Detective Comic to be rated comparatively to other issues.

Nothing more than a filler issue although a pretty good filler issue. We see Spoiler as she goes through her ideals and her new form of fighting crime since the events of the Victim Syndicate. I think this could be an extremely interesting character development for her in the inevitable fight with the bat family. Glad to see the art back on track from the last two issues that really left something to be desired. I'm looking forward to see where Tynion will take Spoiler!

I did not find this issue appealing at all. The characters were unrelatable and Spoiler's reasons for stopping Batman were clouded by the fact that what she was doing was very Batman like. I hope the next arc will not be too convoluted with Spoiler's plans and plots.

Meh. Spoiler solo story isn't very interesting, with her monologue growing quite tedious for me as the issue went on. I get it, you hate heroes. So act as a hero in disguise, because that makes sense. The art was also rather mediocre. So, yeah.
