this is a great horror Batman book. Stevan Subic's art on this is a lot more interesting than his Riddler year one. The pacing and dialogue here does work for me.

I'm considering reading this. I'm curious, why the low rating? Does it mess with too much established lore or something?

fthissite - Nov 20, 2024

I could handle it messing with the lore as it's so convoluted after so many terrible re-starts, but it's the writing. It's just bad. The art in this issue is pretty terrible as well.
