ComickerPerson reviewed Batman #53 Aug 15, 2018
Excellent self-reflective issue. People need to learn about how jury trials work.
/53_small.jpg)
"Cold Days" continues! The jury in the Mr. Freeze trial is hopelessly deadlocked because one man won't vote guilty-and that man is Bruce Wayne. Freeze's defense is that Batman used excessive force, making his arrest illegal, and Bruce is the one man who actually knows for sure what went down between Batman and his ice-cold nemesis. And if Bruce is ...
ComickerPerson reviewed Aquaman #39 Aug 15, 2018
Crossover's been okay. Decent enough, nothing special.

ComickerPerson reviewed Titans #24 Aug 8, 2018
Nice art, the villain has some potential. Still waiting for it to develop a good direction.
/24_small.jpg)

ComickerPerson reviewed Red Hood and the Outlaws #25 Aug 8, 2018
Bad dialogue, contrived plotting, unearned "emotional" moments. Standard Lobdell schlock.
/25_small.jpg)
Batman versus Red Hood for the right to fight in Gotham-grab your ringside seat for the battle 25 years in the making! Jason Todd broke a promise to his mentor, and must now confront an angry and betrayed Batman.

ComickerPerson reviewed Green Lanterns #52 Aug 1, 2018
Dull and boring. This has just become a generic Green Lantern Corps book thanks to Jurgens.

ComickerPerson reviewed Nightwing #47 Aug 1, 2018
Rushed storyline that is more of a setup than a full arc. Still better written than Percy's Green Arrow, though.
