I really enjoyed the exploration into Bruce and Zatannas friendship and history. This continues to be one of my favorite Rebirth books, and Im always eager to see what this team will have to face next. Read Full Review

We are going to have some epic runs once all of our current comics that are being released have laid the foundation for this huge event that is coming. Detective Comics #960 does it's part 100%. Pick this up! Read Full Review

As a fan of the Batfamily and great character work, do not miss this issue. Highly recommended. Read Full Review

This issue may be a bit more setup heavy than the last, but that doesn't stop it from being just as good!  Zatanna is awesome and issue tie into what's going on in the larger DCU was icing on the cake.  If you aren't reading Detective Comics, now is a great time to jump onboard! Read Full Review

I kinda wanted the arc to have a better sense of progression by the end of this issue. Tynion has had a bad habit lately of letting good stories linger too long. Hopefully, Intelligence starts showing signs of nearing the finish line next issue to allow it the proper impact without overstaying its welcome. Read Full Review

The other half of the story continues the Azrael thread in which a new agent of St. Dumas attacks Batman's friends and Azrael's encounter with Ascalon swiftly destroys all the work the young man has done to get out from under the influence of the Order of St. Dumas. Worth a look. Read Full Review

Even building a story around Azrael can't slow down this team's momentum. The fantastic portrayal of Zatanna doesn't hurt, either. Read Full Review

DETECTIVE COMICS #960 is a dip in James Tynion IV's otherwise consistently great run on this comic. The art is ever beautiful and enthralling, but the story fails to capture the reader. The highlight of this issue continues to be the great reintroduction of Zatanna, but otherwise, I hope DETECTIVE COMICS will get its groove back. Read Full Review

This is a very dialogue heavy issue in which not much really happens action wise that moves the story forward. And while not every issue needs to be some action blockbuster blowout, even the arguments/debates that take place are left hanging in the air. So really, everything feels very unresolved. Now maybe that means we will get a double whammy next time, but for now, I feel like I'm just kind of going along with the story. Nothing here is anything at all that I would even remotely refer to as bad, I'm just not all that engaged at the moment. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #960 was a good issue. I had no problems with it but it didnt quite hook me as much as I wanted to. The mysteries that are brought up here are intriguing, however, and the art is still so good. Read Full Review

In Conclusion:A solid, if a bit disconnected, middle issue of an arc chock full of fascinating questions. Read Full Review

Solid writing and art are brought down slightly by a seemingly endless supply of nigh impenetrable story, foreshadowing and exposition. Read Full Review

A lot of information is passed on and the plot thickens, though it's more of a table setting issue than an exciting read. Read Full Review

Overall, the issue falls short of the standards that it set for itself in the last year. Hopefully the conclusion of this arc will bring it back around. Read Full Review

This issue takes a step backwards from its previous ones. With such a build up from the last two issues this one kind of slows everything down. More questions are asked as Batman gets one step closer to finding the truth. The team takes a hit as they are nowhere to be found. Kate and Lucas are the only ones shown, as a team book it would have been nice to at least have shown the rest of them being called. Jean-Paul battling his demons is a nice touch, but with him still the main focus this issue for some reason did not do him justice. Hopefully James Tynion picks up the pace again as we all want to know and see what is going on with Azrael and Ascalon. Read Full Review

Imenjoying the story, but Id enjoy it more if it were weighed down by needlessbaggage. But I suppose thats what titles such as Batman, or All-Star Batman arefor. I am reminded this is the 25th anniversary of Batman: The Animated Series. Perhaps Ishould dig out my DVDs and enjoy a few episodes. Read Full Review

I think it's safe to say that James Tynion's Tec run has been a bit inconsistent. There have been a mixture of amazing action packed stories, and ones that feel like their just plodding along to nowhere. This issue feels like the latter, but there are enough Zatanna scenes to keep you entertained. Read Full Review

Yeah, just average. Nice on reunion. Not so much the Gnosis Sphere retcon. Low on excitement. Batwing and Batwoman tactical retreat isn't really exciting.

Over all a pretty weak issue IMO. This issue has all the intertwined arcs taking a bit of a breather and slow down. I'm still not really liking the multiple story lines as it's a bit confusing to try and remember everything that is going on. Also with the split arcs it takes away the great team dynamic that this book excels at! Wish they would if just stuck with the entire team facing the Azrael situation. The art is fantastic as always! Really hope this book gets back to the team stories soon!
