This was so much fun to read! It was witty and unexpected and exciting. Yay BatCat! Makes me excited for next month. I like how well Chip incorporates prior continuity, and Hawthorne's art is growing on me compared to Gotham War. The back-up seems to highlight how dumb Waller's actions in Absolute Power are.

Ugh. The set-up for this arc - having Selina die at the end of every issue - is really hard to pull off well, since she can come easily come off as incompetent and rash. Howard did not pull it off. Then we get to this issue, where Selina doesn't die. Instead, she get foiled by the OBVIOUS bad guy whom she OBVIOUSLY should never have included in her plan in the 1st place. It's just so dumb, and ero Ugh. The set-up for this arc - having Selina die at the end of every issue - is really hard to pull off well, since she can come easily come off as incompetent and rash.

This issue was chugging along, with its usual problems - pacing too fast, narration doesn't match scenes, Selina knows too much, people believe / care too much about Selina for no reason, everyone has the same voice, the villains aren't credible - but mostly I thought it was ok. And then I got to the last scene. And Selina's plan is to ally with a cannibal??? Who literally eats people as his thin This issue was chugging along, with its usual problems - pacing too fast, narration doesn't match scenes, Selina knows too much, people believe / care too much about Selina for no reason, everyone has the same voice, the villains aren't credible - but mostly I thought it was ok.

oh my gosh I looooved this! So many good things - the flashbacks to Happy Harbor, the old and new conversations with Tim, Bruce coming to his senses. Huge shout-out who Jimenez who killed it once this issue. I particularly like the panels with Tim's flashbacks and how it could be any of the Robins, or even Bruce and his dad in the beginning.

This was a ROLLER-COASTER. I screamed in the beginning, in the middle, and in the end. And then again in the back-up! Great job everyone all around, and I'm literally on edge for the next issue. I can't emphasize enough how much the writing rocked. Every quote was like dialed to 11, and I LOVED the call-back to TDKR. Fingers crossed Ram lands this run (and Selina...) on their feet, inspired by the This was a ROLLER-COASTER. I screamed in the beginning, in the middle, and in the end. And then again in the back-up!

Sigh. Why is any of this happening? On the good stuff - I like that there was at least some explanation for the 1st half of the heist, and how Selina was able to pull it off. And the colors in space are pretty. But on the bad stuff - there is both too much and too little at the same time. I still don't understand why any of these heists are happening, there isn't any real character work being done Sigh. Why is any of this happening?

The art continues to be beautiful, but this is the first time in the run when this story gave me pause. I understand that this is Ivy's narration of her story, but man, does she white wash her past crimes and paint Batman as paranoid and delusional, which I really didn't love.

Honestly I am going to be in the minority, but I really enjoyed it. I understand there are many valid concerns and criticism but I liked this run so far. Good art from Jorge Jimenez (he's carrying this more than James Tynion IV), Batman can be resourceful, the story is engaging, Bruce Wayne realizing he's taking Batman too seriously and Bat family are slowly realizing the Zurr En Arrh robot isnt w Honestly I am going to be in the minority, but I really enjoyed it.

I actually enjoyed the continuity built that happened in this issue! I think it's inventive and creative how Zdarsky is trying to tie it all together across the different eras. I'm really interesting where this is going next.

I think that this issue is trying to do too much, especially considering that it's a mini. I was really along for the ride when it was just a story about Alan coming to terms with his sexuality and the doomed love story, and I thought that Vlad's character was and continues to be fantastic. But in this issue, I found the lore hard to follow/understand (maybe it's just because I don't know Green La I think that this issue is trying to do too much, especially considering that it's a mini.

Oh my gosh I love this! I really loved the monologue about not winning, but trying, and the Superman comparison. The story in Gotham is kicking-ass, and I'm happy to see Gordon again. That ending was a wham shot. The back-up continues to be horrifying in all the right ways, and the art continues to be breathtaking.

Tom King excels at these slice of life stories. I enjoyed them in his Batman run and I'm glad he's doing them in his Wonder Woman run too.

This was a lovely and fun read! I really liked: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy references, Earth Bucks puns, dad jokes, BatCat, and a really true rendition of mall experiences. I also appreciate how well crafted this short story is, with a lot of different call-backs, connections, and multi-layer themes. And I think that King did a great job of letting each character here shine on their own! I a This was a lovely and fun read!

Sigh, sigh. From a writing perspective, it's interesting how this run is doing more damage to Selina's character than her other infamous runs - at least prior writers were trying to tell a story about a character. This feels like just random ideas happening, but it really erodes who Selina is as a person in process. Why does she need money? Didn't she just teach a bunch of people to rob half of Sigh, sigh.

Holy crap, I love this!!! I was pretty caught off guard by the reveal here, and I almost now want to go back to Fear State to see how this jives with Pam and Bella's relationship there. I really liked how the artist did a great job of making Woodrue look totally coked out, and I adore Pam's characterization. She's so messy and interesting and sympathetic. This book rocks, and I'm super happy to re Holy crap, I love this!!!

I really liked this issue. I think that cool stuff is happening with two different themes - what it means to be a crime-fighter, with the Zur/Failsafe vs. Bruce conflict, and the order vs. chaos, the Batman v. Joker conflict. For the first one, I adore how Zur is pretending to be human to convert Bruce's family, and how human Bruce is drawn. For the second one, I loved Joker's speech about how he I really liked this issue.

Tini Howard's run can't end soon enough.

Awesome origin story start! I really love how nuanced the writing is, particularly given the difficult themes with which this story is grappling, and how beautiful the art is.
