    The Penguin #11 was yet another spectacular comic but, sadly, has the unfortunate pride of being the penultimate issue of this fantastic series. That's right folks, the next chapter will be the final one, so hold on to your hats because something tells me it's going to be a wild ride! Read Full Review

    One issue left, and King still has a lot to resolve, but this is easily going down as the defining story for this underrated Batman villain. I've never seen a book that so perfectly captures the gritty, corrupt nature of Gotham. Read Full Review

    Penguins downfall was never a certainty. A likelihood, perhaps, by virtue of a villain generally not being allowed to win. But King never telegraphed his eventual defeat. As a result, the abrupt turn of events proves unexpected and the speed with which the consequences unfold is shocking. The Penguin #11 is a thrilling penultimate issue that makes you impatient for the finale. Read Full Review

    As a penultimate issue, The Penguin #11 ramps things up at the cost of build-up. Every character reaps what they've sown, and Batman proves that if he is a symbol of anything, it is one of consequence. Read Full Review

    Batman-News - Jack Whyte Jun 25, 2024

    This is a series that's stumbling across the finish line a little. Whatever cool or intriguing ideas that were being set up in the first half are fizzling out. This is an issue which sees the final moments of a suffocated candle, just seconds before there's naught but ash and smoke. Sorry about that last line. It's just not a great comic. Read Full Review
