I read a ton of comics… ask my wife, she'll tell you. Of all the books out right now, Detective Comics is my hands down favorite. The method of having a revolving art team, that changes with each story-arc is a winning one. It keeps the look, and the quality of the book consistent and very high."Intelligence," Part Five is a perfect conclusion to an excellent story. Questions have been answered and one adventure has come to an end… but Ra's Al Ghul is still out there, and there's Anarky in the air. I'm ready for more. Read Full Review

Tynion IV killed it in this storyline. The dialogue and character interactions felt real and palpable. The story was smooth, no holes, and was very well thought out. There was never a moment of boredom or that feeling of "what the heck is going on?" Very, very well done. The artwork in this issue was amazing. Read Full Review

Bruce finally learns a secret that the audience has known for some time now, and it changes everything from here on out. It's also likely setup for November's DOOMSDAY CLOCK, which I'm of two minds about. On one hand, I feel that WATCHMEN was and should have remained a contained, completed story. On the other, it is hitting every single “THIS LOOKS SO FREAKING COOL” button in my little nerd brain, and I'm excited for the Bat-clan to speed towards this event. Read Full Review

An exciting end to action packed story arc. Though the ending feels somewhat abrupt, emotionally it was very satisfying. The Detective Comics creative team has really turned out an excellent story arc worthy of Azrael. Read Full Review

Ready to purify the City of Gotham, Ascalon and his devoted artificial servants go in search of Nomoz to bring a new order. Only one to stand in their way now is Azrael and his new suit. Read Full Review

What a fabulous finale! Tynion manages to craft a story that doesn't adhere to preconceived notions. Instead, he throws convention to the wind, delivering some truly unexpected moments that will have you wondering what will happen till the very last page. Read Full Review

This book has been one of the most consistent reads for a cape book in recent memory. It doesn't exist within a vague continuity that tries to silo itself from the larger meta narratives but lean into and wonder how would its cast react. Read Full Review

This is a very good comic, not yet quintessential but still highly recommended. As ever, open a beer, make a cuppa, turn off the TV and enjoy. Trust me, it's a good ‘un. Read Full Review

The latest Detective Comics story ends with a couple big bangs, bringing the story to a satisfying and exciting close. Read Full Review

This isn't the best issue of the arc, but it tells its story well and the art was incredible. I was very pleased with the way it ended, which was a bit more unconventional than I expected, and I hope Tynion continues his slow winning streak. Read Full Review

The issue also gives us more flashbacks to younger versions of Zatanna and Bruce as well as give Batman one answer he wasn't expecting. Tim Drake is alive, and it's about damn time for the search for him to begin. Sadly, that likely means Zatanna will be exiting stage right, but it sure was fun to have her around. Worth a look.

Alvaro Martinez comes on strong in the final part of the "Intelligence" story arc, and it's a performance that really elevates a finale that would have been lackluster under another artist. Read Full Review

A good last issue though don't expect to understand the deeper meaning. Read Full Review

We got more insight on Jean Paul Valley's family and that his father is alive and aligned with Ra's al Ghul. That has possibilities. Although underwhelmed with how Intelligence wrapped, I'm pumped for the repercussions of the new revelations and how Tynion will develop them going forward. Read Full Review

Azraels fight against his demons, inside and out, leads to stunning revelations which continue to lay the groundwork for the teams future adventures. Read Full Review

This was a good, though rushed,  ending to the Intelligence story arc.  Almost everything is tied up and one big dangling thread is set back into motion.  I loved Alvaro Martinez's art and am still on the Detective Comics trolley. Read Full Review

Butthe art team of Martinez and Fernandez performed magnificently, renderingelements both technological and magical with equal skill. But most artists willtell you, designing such requires more imagination than skill. What is morechallenging to any artist is drawing the human form and all the mundane thingsit shares the world with: cars, buildings, animals, etc. But Im confident theycan do that too.

We are eventually making our way to Tim Drake, with a strong ending to my favorite Detective arc so far.

Good ending and Batman gets some answers.
