zrael is the next team member to be highlighted, and his story arc kicks off with an exciting reveal. After the last issue I was a little worried about what was coming up in the series, but my worries have been put to rest. Read Full Review

Yeah, baby! James Tynion IV's Detective Comics #958 is exactly the sort of story that Batman fans have been waiting for. It's magic, really. Read Full Review

ConclusionDetective Comics keeps delivering great entertainment issue after issue. Consistently brilliant scripts, impressive new artists delivering equally impressive visuals and yet another “We should have seen that coming” denouement. Issue #958 receives another well deserved: Read Full Review

The "Revenge Squad" arc has had its ups and downs, but the combination of Jurgens and Herbert has already demonstrated the ability to elevate this story to a much higher level. And I can't wait to see their next issue. Read Full Review

The story picks up quickly as Azrael's old friend appears leaving a bloody trail. Every team member has his or her voice and you can feel that it is a team. Most team books sometimes fall out of place because members are forgotten in the background; not in Detective Comics. Since he has joined the team, Basil (Clay Face) has shown his worth and in this issue you catch a different side of him. He might be one of Batman's greatest choices. With Azrael's past brought to light and now knowing he is obsolete, the upcoming issues are a must read. Can the team get past this new treat or will The Order prevail? Bruce's friend was a great reveal. Read Full Review

Detective Comics kicks off another intriguing story with all the best story beats that this series is known for. Read Full Review

'Intelligence' begins with a return to aesthetic form and a renewed emphasis on Family. Read Full Review

Zatanna and Nomoz burst onto the teams lives to make sure that they wont stay boring as Ascalon attacks. Read Full Review

The real fun here is not from an Azrael-centric storyline but the payoff for Bruce Wayne's B-story with returns Zatanna to the DCU in glorious fashion. Here's hoping she plans on sticking around for quite awhile. Worth a look. Read Full Review

James Tynion starts off his Intelligence story and while it features Azrael, the issue is all about the cliffhanger.  Before that, it was a boring issue with really good art.  I am looking forward to what comes next, I just hope it gets a bit more exciting. Read Full Review

Future installments may elevate this arc-starter, but Detective Comics #958 isn't compelling enough"or tight enough"to get me too excited just yet. It looks great, thanks to Martinez, Fernandez, and Anderson, and it has some bright character moments, but if you've dropped the title, you may want to wait for a stronger incentive for jumping back on. If, however, money is no object, it's worth picking up for a decent read and a delicious Gotham. Read Full Review

Naturally,for a bat-book, there is a lot of black. Paul Fernandez no doubt has a delicatebalancing act to achieve, but he very capably aided and abetted by BradAndersons colors. Read Full Review

While the reveal at the end of this book was very cool, it was not enough to make up for the confusing storytelling. People who know Azreal's back story will probably enjoy this a little more. But I feel like it was not explained well enough for me to understand in this issue. Overall, it was a pretty confusing read with one "wow" moment at the end to try and save the day. Read Full Review

This issue is a promising start to this new Azrael-focused arc, but Tynion's persistent dialogue and pacing problems arise again here. The art team of Martinez and Anderson shines here though, and I'm looking forward to what they do with the story. Read Full Review

The ending delivers promise for next issue, but other than that, nothing much about this issue really grabbed me. I'm not much of an Azrael fan, so maybe that plays a part, but, there you go.

Honestly this was kind of a boring issue. While not bad it just sets the groundwork for the next arc focusing on Azrael but it does so in a little bit of long winded fashion. I feel like we could of been told what is going on in this issue in only a few pages and got a little bit more into the actual conflict this issue. The art is pretty good this issue and no complaints there. I feel this issue is mainly filler and hope the arc picks up next issue.

Ooh, Batman's giving off a gummy grimace on the cover. Should be a good one. And it was good... compared to the last issue.
