I haven't written a review yet, but I thought this issue was very good. Particularly, how Batman was portrayed. I'd like to know some of the specifics of your problems with the writing.
Tom king should do everyone a favor and stop writing comics!
Wedding bells are finally ringing for Batman and Catwoman! As our story concludes, the lovers prepare to take the next steps in their lives together by trading everlasting vows. The Bat/Cat wedding is here, and knowing Bruce and Selina, it'll be anything but conventional. You won't want to miss this final chapter of Tom King's Batman epic!
That was it? Call Seinfeld, we finally got a comic about nothing. It took a year and a half to complete. And damned if I can say what it was about. Maybe I am too stupid, but Catwoman kills the Joker in the future? So what?
Andrea raised a kid the Joker stole? What was that even about? The art was nice, but King relied on all his tricks - using public domain writing to carry his load, d more

This writer really does not understand The Flash, both personality nor powers.
Superman is still being missing for "reasons" just seems like a lazy cop-out.
Cyborg dies from having his cybernetic body cut in half? This writer really didn't do any research before writing these characters.

Batman and the Justice League are working desperately to save innocent lives after the arrival of a mysterious alien ship that has destabilized the entire planet. After all attempts to communicate with the unknown invaders fail, they're left with no alternative but to fight! But can even the combined might of the Justice League and all the world's ...
I wish there was an option to give it a Zero because this is absolute shit. Tom King doesn't know how to write Batman or Catwoman, DC seriously needs to stop giving him Batman book. the timelines and characters are complete shit in this. He literally has no regards for anyone of the bat family. I said before for him bat family is just Bat, Cat and Helena and you can see here he doesn't even bring more

If I’m being honest, the score of 1 isn’t deserved for this issue, but it reflects my feelings on the entire series. Such a pointless and worthless series. I kept going even after I could see it was not good because I had gotten that far, but wow. When King is on, it’s good. When he seems like he is too proud of himself, it is this.

tom king is the most overrated comic book writer of all time. I read this series just so I can actually have hte credentials to critique it, and wow. Usually I say critics are right, but I dont know how critics can give this a positive review.
All the flashbacks to the past and flashforwards to the future dont matter at all, it all felt like a waste of time. This 12 issue series should more

UHG!!! Who let's this idiot write Batman???
Such painfully pretentious melodramatic garbage!!
Art-wise- Flat, underdeveloped, rushed. But why bother wasting time fine-tuning art for a story this bad.
This is NOT Batman or Catwoman! I absolute hate the dialogue that King writes for these two. I'm not even sure who these imposters are, but i don't like them.

PRIEST IS BACK!
The goat himself is once again setting the record straight for DC's villains; enough with the anti-hero bullshit, they are the bad guys! Sandoval's art is awesome, but I'm sure you already knew that before picking this up.
I think that the most divisive part of this issue is the new OC Malik Adam, who of course comes off as a snarky loudmouth (but remember lad more
There is no forgiveness for Black Adam.
This is the reality Teth-Adam, immortal man of indomitable will, must face when he discovers he has been infected with an incurable plague destroying his immortality. Haunted by the specter of centuries of dark deeds, Black Adam transfers his powers to a worthy successor who will redeem Adam's legacy and...
Only 4 issues in, I cannot recommend this book enough.
Hopefully it stays running this strong throughout.
As Robin and Supergirl race to retrieve the secrets of the Devil Nezha from ancient China, Batman and Superman get more than they bargained for in the present! To save humanity from the fires of the demon, the World's Finest must go toe-to-toe with the protector of Sector 2814...Hal Jordan.
A vast improvement over the previous issue.
Dan Mora's art continues to be magnificent.
Great Scott! It's a twisted time-travel tale of titanic tenure! In an attempt to get to the bottom of the mystery of the demon, Robin the Boy Wonder and the Supergirl of Krypton venture back in time to China circa 1600 B.C.-running headfirst into the ancient superheroes known as the House of Ji! Meanwhile, Superman and Batman are losing a race agai...
There was so much wrong with this story, I don't even know where to begin!
This story is very pedestrian. There is nothing especially enjoyable about it, that warrants yet another Batman book on the market. The art looks rushed. The characters of Batman and villains feel off. Gary Whitta did little to no research before slopping out this story. This version of Penguin is especially tras more

The healthy approach to a comic book would be to have your expectations for it completely neutral, and your mind open. Obviously we're incapable of that, since we're only humans - driven by our prejudices, preferences and emotions. I was skeptical about this entire event, and I still am, but I'm willing to give it a fair chance instead of preemprively calling it a gimmicky publicy stunt. Even if imore

Can the legacy heroes ste...
It seems that Ed Brisson has done a bit more research to the Club of Heroes/Batman Incorporated characters than Joshua Williamson had. But Batman putting Ghost Maker in charge of Batman Inc just feels wrong. It's extremely contrived, and heavy-handed writing. I'm not sure who at DC felt this was a good idea? but it just doesn't work.
John Timms art is great. Some great action drawn.

Following the events of the Abyss story arc, Batman has now tasked Ghost-Maker to finance and lead Batman Inc.! First order of business for the new management? Clean up a huge mess Luthor created in Chechnya...but is this new group ready to face fearsome new threat the Gray Wolf? And prepare yourself for the evolution of Clownhunter!
Here is the problem with the Batman, Inc. storyline: Ghost-Maker is a killer. Batman Issue #109, page 10 (June 2021)- quoting from Ghost-Maker himself: "I was eight years old when a psychologist put a name to what make me different. I am a Psychopath. I do not feel empathy or fear."
So you can't train crime fighters (as per the Batman, Inc. characters) not to kill and then have managed more

This book is tough to review, it gets a lot right about Batman but so much wrong at the same time it is impossible to rate this above a 4.5, Batman being ok with people looting his city, is the dumbest take on Batman literally in 80 years of the character.

@Batmanaholic - 4.5 is extremely generous. This comic is utter trash. Though even trash had value at one point in time. So this comic is even worse than trash.
There is no reason for this comic to exist.
Sorry I wasted my time.
The DC event of 2022 continues! As Thomas Wayne investigates the continuing mystery of the Clockwork Killer, another mystery erupts when a strange inmate within Arkham claims that Bruce Wayne is the only Batman that should exist.

DC is too reliant on nepotism and who was relevant 20 years ago. They lack an eye for talent.
Yeah. It's no wonder they are in financial turmoil. I guess they saw all of Marvel's failures, and said 'hold my beer!'. LOL
Remember Greta Van Fleet? Talented kids, for sure, but it's not the band itself I'd like to compare this comic to, but rather remind us all of one quote regarding their debut album, which was labeled "boomer fetishism". Whether it was an accurate criticism, or just a journalist hackery, I'll leave for personal interpretation, but either way it got stuck in my mind, and came back when I was readingmore

Williamson is such a mediocre writer. This was a real nothing burger.
Absolutely no interest in reading the next issue.

Nothing matters to Batman, whose world is already dead, but if he can track down the Clockwork Killer, Thomas can save his son's wo...
they massively disrespected Aquaman, as they always do. it's bad enough they ran his solo series into cancellation yet again.

The answer awaits you in the start of a brand-new Detective Comics story arc from writer Mariko Tamaki, guest co-writer Nadia Shammas, and legendary artist Ivan Reis!

Thank you. ... The sad thing is DC pays their writers a lot more than they do the artists. And lately, the art is just about the only thing of any value in their comics. Depending on the artist, of course.
A few months ago I reviewed Radically Rearranged Ronin Ragdolls, a one-shot clearly inspired by Mirage Studios and the original incarnation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Drawing Blood #1 was initially released as a companion to the RRRR one-shot. It does something I've never seen in my 20+ years of reading comics. It builds a fictional setting within another fictional setting.

TMNT #108 brings the "Slithery" arc to a close. Questions are raised and answered and we get further insight into what the hell is going on with Baxter Stockman.
There isn't any urgency to the plot or its advancement. The art continues to improve as the arc goes on but it's still not great or enough to slow my growing apathy with the current direction of the series. I've reviewed every more
Shipping bi-weekly, the Summer of TMNT starts now! The Turtles are trapped by a fearsome new mutant foe with seemingly no way of escape. Their friends make a last-ditch attempt to save the Turtles, but will secrets in City Hall spell salvation or doom?
i totally feel your frustrations with this series. i used to really love it, but became completely disappointed with it. it's hard to enjoy a comic when the title characters are barely the focus. also now seeing how none of the climaxes of issue 50 and 75 carried any real consequence, it's made all the feet-dragging to get to those character deaths annoying. none of it carries any real importance. it just feels like a LOT of wasted time.

Review ✍
Tom King’s Knightmares is a very weird story arc. It doesn’t start with a bang, doesn’t have any shocking reveals and there isn’t much of a climax. The arc just ends like sex in a loveless marriage.
As this issue progresses we get more more

I’m not a fan of current year politics in my entertainment. It’s not because I’m conservative or closed-minded. The problem tends to boil down to writer's virtue signaling to a hot button issue that they aren’t equipped to discuss with the complexity, nuance, and maturity needed to sway an audience one way or another.
I do lean conservative so take this review with a grain of sa more

There is a multitude of evidence, from the GPS location of everyone in that building, and where most of them came from (Trump's rally), to the messages sent by Republican members of congress who helped plan it. You really should appreciate that second half on misinformation, because you have a front row seat to it. I've read Nick Spencer's Cap run, and I find it funny that you say this is too on the nose, but that run wasn't.
That run literally had these cyborg cops called Americops that openly beat people to death in the streets without any provocation. This is like what you said about Jim Rhodes. Your point doesn't actually work if the person you're saying it to is aware of the context. My point about the number of bat-titles wasn't that it's good there are so many, but that it makes the whining about a black Batman even more absurd when you can't get away from Bruce Wayne if you tried.
