I feel the same. It’s fun to read, but I wouldn’t call it top-tier.

Great art by Jorge Jimenez. This issue works as a solid introduction to the new creative team on Batman. That said, I’m not a big fan of standalone stories in every issue of the main Batman title. I feel like that format works better for other franchises, like the Fantastic Four.
Maybe it’s just Batman fatigue, but I think I’ll stick to reading this run in TPB or HC format… though I mig

This is the second issue I’ve picked up. It offers a really interesting perspective on Batman’s character development.
He’s becoming more isolated, colder and more distant from his friends. I really like how they’re starting to notice his absence, especially with him missing his weekly visits.
I’m not sure how to feel about this Martha Wayne, though. Anyway, the art is top-ti

Absolute Batman #18
After the explosive reveal ending last issue, and Batman continues to fight Poison Ivy's mutated monsters and winds up uncovering an even more gruesome horror that has embedded itself in the city's very foundations. All while the Joker's machinations start to coalesce in a partnership with a new ally.
I don’t quite get the appeal.
But it’s not bad.
Absolute Batman #17
Dr. Pamela Isley has been unleashed from the Ark-M facility with an unending hate and burning fire for revenge on Gotham City, and those who put her in the belly of the beast. When Batman hunts her down, he must survive a labyrinth of leveled horrors, one more gruesome after the next, as he tries to save the city from a monster it created.
This is the first issue of Absolute Batman I’ve picked up. The series feels really entertaining, especially with its fresh take on classic villains.
The art is top-tier, no complaints there, and the whole chainsaw Batman thing is way more fun than it probably should be. I also really like the character design for the original Poison Ivy . Eric Canete feels like the perfect fit for this

A fun and entertaining introduction to this new crossover. The crossover between the fantastic four and the planet of apes feels very natural, as both franchises are pillars of modern sciencie fiction. The art is good and the fantastic apes have potential.
My only problem is that this miniseries is 4 issues long and and there are only three issues left. The next issue needs to move the
