George liked this:Well this is unfortunate … I was ready to drop Batman from my pull-list … and then issue #5 comes along and is really good. This was a fun, fast paced comic that was nonstop action and speed. It’s a simple “bad guys are after us” chase … but was so well done! As much as I was losing interest in this series this issue pulled me right back in. If issue 6 keeps up this quality - I might b more

George reviewed DC K.O.: Knightfight #3 Jan 9, 2026
And next issue we get “for the Batman who has everything”, the retelling of Alan Moore’s classic Superman story. And I’m ok with that. I enjoyed that I was surprised with the Damian approach. I thought it would be the Morrison Damian 666 Batman.

All-star creators Joshua Williamson and Dan Mora deliver the next pulse-pounding chapter of Batman’s journey during DC K.O., giving us the Dark Knight’s greatest challenge yet. Jason Todd is Batman. Tim Drake is Batman. And to complete his mission, Bruce Wayne will have to fight both of them. The former Robins aren’t giving up without a fight...

Best issue yet. Superman has all the time in the world, and he spends it with kindness, and with love for those who cannot defend themselves.
Aaron truly understands Superman and what makes him tick. I hope he stays on the title for a looong time. Ferreyra’s art was fantastic, particularly his colors.

This is not good.
Very little story in this issue.
Artist is not at his best.
Characters are acting out of character.
Some of Scott’s dialogue is extremely out of character. Even for a Scott that is from ten years in the future.

Either I just had a stroke or nothing in this book makes any sense. Cyclops shouldn’t even be capable of wielding Magik’s sword, and this is just the most obvious oversight when it comes to X-Men history and consistent characterization. I won’t even mention the bad storytelling decisions and anticlimactic scene transitions, since those are just the bare minimum of bullshit I have come to exp more

A 1 is a really low rating. But we are far from quality, Krakoa and anything I might want out of an X-men book. Daniel is a very inconsistent artist. Some of his Batman work is great. Some of it very rushed. Unfortunately this looks rushed. Time to sit this out until the next restart. Maybe get Hickman or Carey to write them out of this mess and into a new status quo
I'm aware that a 1 is the lowest possible rating. I usually rate a comic that low when it's not only bad, but when I feel that the creators didn't do their homework or delivered an absolute mess, which I feel is the case here. I also don't see a reason to go soft on the books, since there are already many reviewers that give bad books good ratings. Not everything can be a ten, there also need to be fours and ones for the good stuff to stand out.
I enjoyed this. Jimenez is on fire and I like the story focus on Bruce Wayne. And I like the fun cliffhanger.

George reviewed Absolute Superman #14 Jan 5, 2026
I would rate this higher but felt like the sequential story telling, specifically on page 9, didn’t make any sense. The peacemaker in the robotic war suit grabs Superman in battle with Ras. When Ras is about to hit him with the sword. Ras isn’t even in the next panel when he’s grabbed. It looks weird and is confusing.

In general I like how tom Taylor writes Batman, and I’m not even a Tom Taylor fan. I like that there is a new villain, and like the back story linked to an early appearance of Batman. Because the past is never done with you. I like the use of Bruce Wayne as part of the investigation and the use of Superman and Lois. I think the story does a good job of creating stakes, even though we know he wont die like the people on the boat in the first issue of the arc. And yes the art is awesome.
Okay, that’s interesting. I think I like Tom Taylor’s Batman too, there’s nothing that doesn’t feel like Batman. The other aspects you pointed out - the villain, Bruce Wayne investigating and Lois Lane - are the ones that don’t feel that intriguing to me. It’s all very European spy movie, a genre I’m not very fond of. But if it works for you, awesome. It’s just normal that not every story is for everyone.

I really enjoyed this comic. I loved Chip’s ability to write the Fantastic Four. He gave Sue so much emotion, after almost losing her daughter, of course she’d be overprotective. I like how he connected the Red Hulk’s comic to the rest of the 616. I would have loved to have seen Deathlok or Machone Man fro his title. This was a terrific way to take Marvel forward.

Excellent artwork by Janin along with a nice balance by Taylor of plotting, character work, and action that all moves the story forward at a fast clip. The mystery posed at the very end, along with appearances by Damian, Selina, Dick and Babs, all tip this over into “perfect issue” territory as the clock counts down to the finale!
