I’m not even sure it’s dark. It kind of just… unmoving. I hsve no emotional reaction to this whatsoever.

Love the art.
On first read I found the story confusing.
My guess is I would rate this higher if reading in a trade.

This was a quick read. I wanted more from the script.
But the art elevates this. Farid Karami is great.

Punisher #7

DAMAGED GOODS! Frank Castle's one of the most dangerous tactical minds in the Marvel Universe, but for all his firepower, he remains just a man! IN THIS ISSUE, one of his failures drags itself kicking, screaming and bleeding to Frank's door to look him dead in the eyes!

The way Prime defeats Manchester Black was hilarious, they kind of ended this short for Zod event but Im hoping Prime's tease at the end of this comic means we will get a solo series of him next year, that #1 that he wants I want to.

I still think the concept of Superboy Prime is silly, but what Williamson and Mora are doing with it is pure comic book magic and full of love for the medium.

I get it must be a Batman written for a new generation, but it just doesn't do it for me. Reading this issue, I was just rolling my eyes. It may be dark and edgy, but I just hate this version of Bruce Wayne and am not rooting for him, simple as that. And Batman / bat man, really ? What a subtle writing there...

Absolute Batman #23
By: Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta
Released: August 12, 2026
In a climactic showdown, Batman is forced to battle an unyielding enemy in not just the Robins but in himself. More than one dead character signals a call for help…and a symbol of hopelessness as more friends become enemies.

Good point. This series is also a festival of plot holes and you keep wondering "Didier I miss something?" That's not what I call good writing...

This comic has an odd way of killing off characters that make me question whether I can even differentiate who they were in the first place.
Always entertaining tho, albeit too much and not enough at the same time.

The character death only means something if you’ve read the main DC Batman comic. Otherwise this would create no reaction whatsoever.

I think I might be out.
This is doing really well in the market. I just don’t get it. To each their own.
This just isn’t interesting to me.
And that’s ok. There are plenty of other Batman books.
I will take fraction and Taylor (and soon to be Camp) over this any day.

A step up from the prior issue.
I like Steve Pugh as as an artist but I’m not sure he’s the right fit for this book
And some of the panels just look very flat.
I think it needed someone like Kevin maguire.

End of Life #6
By: Kyle Starks, Steve Pugh
Released: July 15, 2026
Eddie is losing allies fast, and with the tiniest drop of goodwill from Leona all but dried up, he’s got no one to turn to. Has Eddie had it with Pluto, or is a chance with Sophie enough to keep him around? While he hurts his brain thinking it over, Richard Smiley has a plan—and it involves two of the most unsavory types Eddie Stallion has ever com...

End of Life #5
By: Kyle Starks, Steve Pugh
Released: June 17, 2026
Richard Smiley has kidnapped Trent and taken him back to the abandoned Wrongdog theme park…but have the people of Pluto softened Eddie enough to care? It’s a confrontation between two incredibly annoying guys, with a fallout that will leave Eddie at his lowest. Which is really saying something!

Smiley is pretty annoying and I think the sincerity at the end didn’t quite land. Couple really funny moments though, especially Eddie praying his Dad doesn’t kill him while he’s shooting up Smiley’s goons.

While the Earth parts are interesting, well-paced, and engaging, everything happening on Asgard is mind-numbingly boring.

Maybe too confusing to be a 10 though. I will reread the whole story when it’s complete.

Uncanny X-men …here comes the final rant. Gail hyped this issue up on her Facebook page. Here is Gail in her own words. “ Just saying, if you have been away from UNCANNY X-MEN for a bit, today is the day to jump back on board. It's a new arc, and some important new characters are involved, and I can't say more but this is a good jumping back-on point and this story REALLY goes bananas.Gambi

This was a bit slower and less bombastic compared to the other issues. I dont really havve strong feelings for the new butler, and it's confusing on whether Bruce Wayne is hallucinating Alfred. But Jorge Jiminez manga style comic book art really carries the issue, and I like how it's just a simple entertaining one-off Batman issue that doesn't take itself too seriously

A very creative storyline, with this probably being the best issue of the story so far.
Overall A very good series with some impressive art in this issue.
