"NIGHT OF THE MONSTER MEN" part five! The hunt for Hugo Strange rages onward as the
Manipulator rises and uses the citizens of Gotham City to shield itself from the Bat-Family. All while the monstrous version of Nightwing looms over Gotham City.
This installment of “Night of the Monster Men” was very great, thanks to Orlando and Seeley's witty scripting and Antonio's solid art. If thestoryline's conclusion is as exciting as this issue, itlooks like “Night of the Monster Men” will end on a high note. Read Full Review
All in all, it is an investment to follow the whole Monster Men storyline, but it has been worthwhile to see something a bit new that involved all the heroes around Gotham. Read Full Review
While this crossover has been solid thus far, it may have finally hit the road towards greatness. Read Full Review
All in all, this story arc has avoided the problems that often plague the crossover Batman tales, of having too many tie in issues, so the story just keeps moving sideways, instead of forwards. Each issue of this series so far has directly advanced the plot, which is clearly approaching a resolution. Read Full Review
If you've been invested in the arc so far, the payoff on the home stretch has been a lot of fun. This issue's cliffhanger is a great teaser dating back to the classic Strange/Batman rivalry. Read Full Review
“Night of the Monster Men” has been a strong Bat-Family crossover. Keeping it to one month of titles double shipping is a more concise method for doing crossovers. The weekly frequency has to be one of the positive lessons learned from the successful weekly Batman series from the past couple of years. If you are enjoying the crossover, you can't miss Nightwing #6, and if not, in just two weeks we are back on track with Nightwing and Raptor in Nightwing #7! Read Full Review
Nightwing #6 isn't quite the same silly fun as the rest of the Night of the Monster Mento this point. Roge Antonio and Chris Sotomayor provide the same kind of cartoonish visuals, but the script by Steve Orlando and Tim Seeley takes a much more serious turn. Now, it isn't overwhelming in its darkness, especially considering we are talking about a Halloween-themed Batman story of the modern era. Still, there are revelations obviously designed to carry well beyond this specific story. Read Full Review
The previous issue of Nightwing did quite a bit more with the subject matter at hand, and felt far less like a deep breath before the final parts of Monster Men. Read Full Review
It's more of the same of what we've already gotten from the Night of the Monster Men story here and actually, I found myself feeling even more lost with things just happening "because" and me wondering what the hell the Wayne Watchtowers even do. I enjoyed the art enough here, but overall I'm getting tired of this story. Read Full Review
Getting better. There's enough to like here to recommend it, from the snappy dialogue to the great visuals, and the fact that it gets genuinely good in the second half makes it all the better. There are still plenty of problems with the story as a whole, and I doubt we'll be thinking about it much in six months or so, but a solid use of one of the oldest rogues in the books may go a long way toward redeeming the crossover. “Night of the Monster Men” is silly, but thanks to Nightwing it's starting to get fun.

While Nightwing makes for a more tense issue of the series as the walls seem to close in on the Bat-family, the attempt to up the stakes falls flat due to it just being a larger monster Read Full Review
Nightwing #6 is a three star issue in a two star event. Read Full Review
Even with consistently good art, uneven pacing and a lack of focus has made Night of Monster Men a mediocre story. Read Full Review
I think we are about to get Mechs in this story and that will either be amazing, or just out of place. Batman vs Hugo Strange is a very anticipated fight that this issue sets up, with giant monster being a close second. I think Night of the Monster Men is doing it's purpose to unify the Batman family and while I agree a ton of crossovers is bad, one is not.
Its probably just slightly better than the other Monster Men issue that came out this week. Nightwing does get the chance to step out front which Batman didn't get to do with his story this week. We get some big reveals and the story heads towards the finale that comes next week in Detective comics. The art is probably the best art of this crossover.
This Night of the Monster Men event has brought the Batman family into the realm of generic super hero and there is simply nothing to get excited about. I just can't make myself care what happens in this story, let Gotham sink for all I care.
this series so far has only just been ok at best. . . . . . . putting it mixed with this cross-over has done noting but hurt it as a whole.
