Just another solid issue by Williamson, Izaakes and company. While i would prefer less decompressed stories, the creative team nonetheless provides positive momentum each issue. This issue, like most in this run, brings a smile at some point. Looking forward to the “showdown” next issue!

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 more

With the ability to read pretty much anything for free now why not read it if for no other reason than to showcase the faults with the writers DC are hiring for your favorite characters and hope enough people do the same so these companies will listen and get a better writer for said character. If you love a particular character or just hate a particular writer let em' know. If people who liked this stuff were the only ones reviewing it it would be considered stellar. Tis a review site afterall

I just...I.... wtf was this? I give it points for art and that's about it. I read this because it had Superman on the cover and hoped King would be better at writing Clark than he is Diana but that was not to be. I know what he was going for here and I really wish he had succeeded but this just feels hollow. It's like he's writing to impress his mother.

A huge swing and a miss! Why wouldn’t we see a flashback story that explains why Diana does not want Clark to interfere or just do a reprint that supports why Diana is refusing help (except King probably doesn’t have the receipts needed to support it).

I can give Tom king a lot of flak, I think a lot of his books rely on hitting you over the head with faux-gravitas, kind of like being a Neil Gaiman but without the depth or talent.
while feeling like he overstayed his welcome on Mister Miracle, was dealing with his own issues in Strange Adventures, and Human Target wasn’t as good as Milligan’s retool of him but still a decent read. - I w more

Since the 1970s? Creeper, Metamorpho and New Gods have been around a lot, comparatively speaking. New Gods most of all (even in Tom King's Mister Miracle), and Darkseid is in DC's most well known villains category. Metamorpho was in Outsiders and Justice League all the time in the 80s, 90s and even 00s, and the Terrifics in the 10s, among other places. Creeper has had numerous minis and a few other appearances.

Ulf - Sep 27, 2023

(cont'd) the change in characterization for many of the characters in Danger Street is the least of my complaints like I say. Artistic licence etc. etc. It's just that the writing of Danger Street #9 was pretentious, faux-intellectual, and just plain bad.

It's almost a crime that this comic isn't selling 200,000 copies each month. It's arguably DC's best current comic. I've been praising Dan Mora's art since BOOM's Once & Future and I'm delighted he's on this book. Waid appears to be having an absolute blast writing this series.
