"A LONELY PLACE OF LIVING" part two! Tim Drake has been locked in Mr. Oz's fortress-but now he's free and roaming the prison while his captor faces off against the Man of Steel. But is he the only prisoner who's been freed?!

Detective Comics #966 continues to deliver the same high quality that we have come to expect. Writing that excites, and pulls at the emotions. Art that pleases the eyes and tugs at the heartstrings (Page 21 is KILLER!) I need to invest in a new thesaurus, because I'm quickly exhausting my supply of superlatives. Read Full Review
I've been anxious to see Red Robin return to the main universe. This storyline has delivered big time with an unpredictable turn of events and terrific artwork. I cant wait to see what happens next. Read Full Review
A really impressive, immersive read that shows a great understanding of the characters, especially the role of Tim Drake in the Bat-Family and DC Universe. Read Full Review
Detective Comics has sort of been in the shadow of other bat related books, but this arc has been fantastic. James Tynion IV has put together two good and interesting issues to kick this arc off. You couldn't have asked for a better job on art duties than the team that was on display here. Detective comics is a breath of fresh air. Read Full Review
This is by far the best Tim Drake story in recent history. Every moment keeps your eyes glued to the page as it shows off it's stunning art and amazing story. Although it drags in some places by stretching out the details of the origin of the future Tim Drake, it's still very much an exciting and must-read issue for every fan of Tim Drake. Read Full Review
This is a rare tie-in issue that feels like it's far more important than the main book. Read Full Review
Lonely Place of Living is living up to the moniker, and it does seem like it is going to be one of the most important stories of Rebirth line, next to Oz Effect and the upcoming Doomsday Clock. So far, the book has been very entertaining with just enough enough action, but it is the character work Tynion and Barrows work that makes Detective Comics stand out from the rest of the field. It is a quintessential return of Tim Drake. Pick this up as it comes highly recommended. Read Full Review
All-in-all this book was great. The story flowed well, the colors were dark and set an appropriate tone for the events at hand. I really wanted to see more action with Doomsday but perhaps thatll come later. The artwork was once again phenomenal and super detailed. I especially loved the pages with Doomsday. This depiction of him is really quite enormous and scary. I totally dig it. This issue is going to set the stage for not only future Detective Comics issues but it will add to the mold of other stories as well. So its important. Pick it up in your pull for the week. I highly recommend it. Read Full Review
For every answer that James Tynion provided in Detective Comics #966 he gave us two more questions to be answered. The interaction between the present and future Tim Drake made for a compelling chapter in the character's life as his true future is still up in the air. Ending the issue with the future Tim Drake turning his attention to a major Batman Family member provided an intriguing hook ending that will keep fans guessing as to what will happen next.

I can't believe that Detective Comics is literally one of the best Batman comics in the lineup right now. Read Full Review
The Batman books are about to get pretty crazy and Tim Drake is at the center, so this was a fun issue watching Tynion set up the mind-boggling story twists that are about to happen. Read Full Review
Detective Comics has been a consistently entertaining title since its renumbering, but only time will tell if it can continue to sustain itself through this new "lonely place of living." Read Full Review
Tim Drake is back in business, but there are two of them in Gotham with a few days to kill. This issue has some major moments setting up a mystery with Conner Kent and Batwoman in some big trouble. This is one of the better issues of Detective Comics. Read Full Review
Our long-awaited return of Tim Drake brings one too many Tims home to Gotham. Read Full Review
Dense as all get out, this issue succeeds thanks to its intents more than its execution. I like what Tynion is trying to do, and considering Tim is my favorite Robin, of course I'm glad to see him back in action. Still, this issue verges on information overload at points, aided mostly by the fact that I'm not familiar with the story it's referencing. The story and art both suffer from the same problem: the broad strokes are interesting, it's just the details that aren't engaging. I appreciate what the story is accomplishing, I just wish it was handled with a tad more finesse. Read Full Review
Detective Comics #966 continues the second that #965 ended, it is packed with action, suspense, and signs of doom for the future. Unfortunately, it feels bland in it's delivery and unoriginal. Read Full Review
This is a very disappointing issue and a hard left turn to what we were promised. We don't learn anything new about the prison nor its inhabitants, and Tynion is instead using this issue to set up his next arc in the series. It's a confusingly obnoxious choice, and it resulted in a mess of an issue. Read Full Review
Another great issue. Detective continues to be the best Batman title out there right now.
Once more one of the best reading of my pill. Tynion IV is on fire on Detective comics, he love dick, know well the bat univers & show us how well but without showing-off.
The art is nice too, I have some trouble with Dick/Red Robin face sometime, but that's nothing.
Tynion IV use well Doomsday & the 2 Tim intelligence. I like also of how the Batman Tim speak of his future & his past.
As a Dr who follower, I like using the term Fixed point. And I love the face of Red Robin genuinely with no clue of who is this Connor the Batman Tim Speak off.
I really like that for many reason. One I find troubling that Batman Tim put a batman costume and not a Batman Beyond one.
Two the Tim who become Batman Beyond one (And disappe more
I wasn't impressed by the Utopia/Dystopia story, but this one truly is compelling. Tim Drake is a beloved character who disapeared and they are making him come back with a BANG! The future Drake is a perfect mirror image to Tim for him to reflect on and the way they told his story was a delight to read. Making an origin story so concise and clear is an art for sure. With some much Batman stuff on the shelves lately, putting the spotlight on different characters is a welcome break (with Metal #3 having almost zero Batman too). With D.C, Metal, White Knight and King's unbelievable Batman run, it feels good being a Batman fan these days.
cool to see a Connor Kent tease
