I fell like this and dark patterns are criminally underrated. DP in particular is my kind of Batman story. It fells like an excellent Batman run from the early 2000.

A good ending for an overall great run. Parts of the plot felt rushed but other than that, excellent writing and amazing art. samnee is a beast!

myconius reviewed Batman & Robin: Year One #12 Oct 29, 2025
Overall, this was a decent conclusion of the series. Some of the plot points throughout felt like a needless retread of Robin year one. But overall, I’m looking forward to getting this in collected hardcover.
The writing for this series has been decent. But it was the artwork that really made the series shine. This and Batman Dark Patterns have been the best series to come out from D more

I could not agree more! I'm waiting until Dark Patterns #12 releases, so I can put the full series in with my collection of Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight (1989) singles. It truly feels at home that series of "early carrer" Batman stories.
gusresm reviewed Imperial #4 Oct 29, 2025
The narrative is very confusing and the story is just overcomplicated nonsense. I really don’t understand the black bolt’s behavior (or black panther’s, for that matter). I usually love Hickman’s work, but imperial is marvel’s worst summer event in recent memory.

Continues to impress! Thompson is flawless here: the plot and characterization are on point. The art is astounding. People talk a lot about Mora (rightfully so) but Sherman is incredible as well. I love his work in dark patterns but WW Iis where he truly shines. The tease in the end is fantastic.

Man, Jorge is A BEAST! The art in the issue is just exquisite! The story was good, I think fraction handles the characterization well. The only downside? It fells short.

Agreed. This was one of the more entertaining reads from DC in a while. But there were certain plot points that lingered a bit long, while other parts felt they could have used a bit more breathing room. This ending felt like it needed to play catch-up a bit too quickly.
