What about Batman Dark Patterns?!?
I guess no one is reading this anymore! Or no one is reviewing it! It’s an okay issue in a story that I am enjoying.
I still don’t buy Wally west as reed Richards. Which is how this reads for me.
With Eclipso taking on a new, evolved form as a fire elemental, and theRogues’ blitzkrieg across the moon claiming more and more of the Flash’scopies, Wally West has to split himself even further—but there is dissensionamongst the Temp Flashes!
A great and fun comic.
They say that before you begin a journey of revenge, you should dig two graves, but Annalise and her robot are going to need a lot more than that. Way more. Even more than you’re thinking. Also in this issue: a guy gets his head punched off!
Well executed. But unoriginal. And a step down from the prior issue.
I may misunderstand what “assorted crisis events” is about.
Will see if I continue reading this.

It's a heatwave in Middleton, as tempers and temperatures run hot allover the city! In the white-hot heat, normally minor conflicts betweenneighbors turn deadly at the drop of a hat! Can John Jones and the Mar-tian cool things down before Middleton erupts into chaos?
The best non Absolute Batman comic by miles.
The General’s search for Batman and Robin’s true identities comes to Wayne Man-or’s doorsteps! Can the dynamic duo find a way to repel the General’s forces andstill keep their identities secret?!
George, you nailed it beautifully. To me, it's investigatory nature feels more front and centre than most other modern Batman comics. You make a good point, due to its brevity with three issues - we got more frequent mysteries, resulting in more detective elements. The art is beautiful. It adds a grit that really fleshes out its mystery vibe.
I like the art. It shows a lot of potential. From a story perspective this is one of the lesser issues in the run so far.
The competition between the Ultrons kicks into high gear as the West Coast Avengers finally take on the Church of Ultron! And as they battle Ultron's loyal followers, another threat looms - what's Flag-Smasher been up to in prison?
Rated T+
I don’t know. This just isn’t working for me. I kind of find it boring.
New Genesis has fallen, and the New Gods have found themselves without a home.Their fates have sent them to Earth, a planet with its own inhabitants, protectors,and immortals. Will these Gods without a world be welcomed to Earth as refugeesor rejected as invaders?
Pretty good. The third or fourth best Bat book right now.
Batman and the Penguin have found themselves unlikely allies on a mission thathas taken them out of Gotham and into an entirely unexpected new location! Buteven with their powers combined, will they be able to unravel the sinister schemesof a (literally) bloodthirsty immortality cult?
THE BEST NEW (NOT QUITE A) SUPERHERO SERIES IN THE UNIVERSE CONTINUES! Battle Beast has entered the Blood Games. This is bad news...but not for him.
The General’s search for Batman and Robin’s true identities comes to Wayne Man-or’s doorsteps! Can the dynamic duo find a way to repel the General’s forces andstill keep their identities secret?!
Writing in this one is top notch. Very well paced issue, probably best so far in that regard.
Art is pretty good, bringing down rating a little.
Wally’s on the run and looking for any safe space to hide out. He findshimself in Central City and meets a kindly man who offers him a place tocrash at the youth mission. But is anyone truly safe when the fastest kidalive comes to their city?
Summer starts with a bang with GIANT-SIZE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1!

This was really odd. It is more like an Amazing Spider-Man team-up than Giant-Size ASM. I thought the cover was supposed to be related to cover itself, but it is more related to whole package.
Art in all three stories was great. But that is almost all good I have to say about it.
Smith's story is so average and boring that it's hard to give it any credit.
Ewing was more

i reviewed this issue earlier today and reading your review, I believe we might have had a mind meld
It's still one of the stupidest ideas ever.
Even Kamala's fans are upset.

A fun and competent but sadly forgettable book.

Rock solid old school Batman.

With credit given to absolute Batman and all other Batman titles, this is what I want from a Batman book. I would buy this forever.

One of the best issues of the run. If not the best.
As Wally continues to split himself into more temps to try to keep the battles raging on the moon under control, Eclipso reveals his new allies—the Rogues!
Good issue.

Bear witness to a cosmos-spanning epic that examines the very nature oflife, death, and everything in between in this special issue that reunites the all-starteam of Ram V and Filipe...
It felt a little short. Like it just ended. Which means it will read better in trade. So difficult to recommend picking up a $6 book that felt this incomplete. But I like the creators and trust them to deliver.

The only weak Absolute series. I suppose it was unrealistic to expect such continued quality.
I'm very new to Green Lantern.
I'm currently reading Geoff John's GL run, which is absolutely magical. I'm also watching the Bruce Timm CGI animated series, which is like a mix between Star Trek and Star Wars Clone Wars.
None of the spirit of any of that is in this comi more
Hal Jordan has been overcome by his curse and has turned his sights on Jo!Can the new Lantern figure out how to hold her ground, or will her light be extinguished for good?
Cheers George, appreciate the details. Al Ewing's Hulk run was monumental. I've read a lot of his works and I'm seldom disappointed. The problem here is the premise. Even good dialogue wouldn't save it. It's a mystery story but I find myself uninterested in uncovering it. I've made a personal commitment to read all Absolute series. I'm going to stick with it but it's going to take something special to save it. If indeed, it can be saved.
I want to stick with it but there are a lot of good books on the stands. This is by far the worst absolute book, at the bottom of the stack for me, and I need to cut a few books.
Love this run.
The next big arc of this red-hot series begins here, as Superman findshimself caught between the opposing forces of the nefarious Lazarus Corpand the mysterious Omega Men. But Kal-El just wants to be left alone in theonly place on this planet where he’s ever felt safe. A place called Smallville.
I think you are right - no critical reviews and your one user review is a shame for a character that should be a must read each month
It’s too bad because there are some great ideas in this storyline. Wally splitting himself to fight a battle is a good idea. But there are some real problems with it as well.
