As I said with Action, I was really surprised to see that one of DC's oldest titles was also one of its best this week. I really want to read the next issue - - and now - - because this is one of those rare comics that puts me back in touch with how I enjoyed comics as a kid. Kudos to Hine and McDaniel, and the entire crew for making such a fun ride. To all of you Read Full Review
This is one of those stories where I have absolutely no idea if the Batman I'm reading is supposed to be Bruce or Dick. Accessibility be damned, the two are different enough that that should never have to be a problem. The issue also suffers from Scott McDaniel's art. I've never been a fan of his loose, angular pencils, and nothing in this issue manages to change my opinion. Scenes that should generate drama fall flat thanks to a lack of detail and lackluster presentation. I'm very excited for what's to come with Detective, but it's clear I'm going to have to suffer through a few months of boredom to get there. Read Full Review
In the end, if you like McDaniel's pencils then "Detective Comics" might have hit the jackpot for you. But at least for now, Hine's story just isn't holding up its end of the bargain. Maybe with more time the remaining installments will be stronger. As a story that feels designed more to just stall until the arrival of Scott Snyder in November, though, I suspect Hine's "Batman: Imposters" will be largely forgotten before long. Read Full Review
