Cates really get his characters. Excited by absolute carnage. If you don't, read venom

Cates is back and it's about time he does because this was a great issue that sets up the next arc pretty well.

Damn, I want more! That was great!

Dang.

That was a great payoff for Aaron's Thor-saga. Epilogue will be a interesting one.

That was amazing.

A great setup for this new villain. Or old. I'm so interested to know, who is he/she?

Art is great too, Beck's writing is on point.

Maybe the only downside is that we don't know who that person is?

A bit rushed ending, but still pretty good.

Also, I'm so glad that BRB is still in Guardians. He is a good add to it.

This was a pretty okay tie-in. Not great, but not bad.

Back to the Absolute Carnage, please.

Damn.

Just damn.

Is it good?

Is a question that is hard to answer these days considering King's Batman issues. Some are bad, some good, some meh, and some are hard to explain. This is one of those issues.

First, yes art good, you know the drill.

Style and presentation? Well, it is just Bruce and Bane fighting with Thomas narrating Bane's plan and how King's whole Batman run has been just all big plan. All connected. And it kinda makes sense and kinda doesn't.

And that is the reason if you hate or love this. I am a big Bane-fan and I like him being in the front of King's plan, as Snyder has done Joker enough and never really focused on the other villains that much (yes he did some, but you get my point). No, I'm not comparing his run to King's. So the question. Does all being connected make sense? Well. Kinda.

But, does it feel like it? Eh. Personally, I would've liked this to be Bane's revenge for Batman for taking his happiness away. But now that King is "I am Suicide/Bane" were all just misdirection, f it feels forced. Some of you might say that it doesn't and I can see your point. And I also understand if you think this is just garbage. I don't, but that isn't far-fetched.

Overall, yes 7/10. It is not bad, kinda makes sense and I'm interested to see what happens next. If you have hated King's run since issue 50, this won't change your mind. more

Wow, just wow.

Can't wait what will come next. This comic is truly a masterpiece.

Strange and Otto work as a surprisingly good team-up. Very good issue.

Well, that was it. Surprisingly good ending, and wasn't what I expected.

Spencer did write a Kraven storyl arc like no other and even if it wasn't as good as I thought it would be, it was good enough.

Damn. It is amazing. The art, the style, the writing, the mood this book gives, the horror.

Simply amazing.

Well, eh. It's odd. And a hard to review. Non-linear narrative is a new thing now for King and it works and doesn't at the same time. I feel like King doesn't get Bat-family so well, would explain why he doesn't have them so often in his books, except Nightwing.

But why non-linear narrative works: we get new revelations at the same time and we get to great artists at work.

Why it doesn't work: one could think the other one is a dream. Or they both are. King is known to be very vague about this things, it wouldn't surprise me if one of those was a dream. After the disaster that was Knightmares, where you couldn't figure out were they dreams or not, in about half of them.

Also, when Bruce talks how he is gonna break Bane? It doesn't feel like it is Bruce talking. It feels like Miller is writing those lines and that is not good. I kinda get it, Bruce is so broken as he was in Millerverse that he would say these things, but on the other hand, just no.

I don't hate this like I did Knightmares. It is not terrible, it is something that you like, hate or are just confused about it. Art is great, writing very on-off.

And the last thing that I don't like, Thomas and Bane. ´They don't appear much and I'm afraid that we will see them more in issues 95-100. And all this is just build-up. It's not a bad idea, but 20-40 issues of build-up is too much, because it won't live up to the hype in this case and I know it. more

Damn, that was a nice twist. And a good comic. I like it very much.

And Knull -reference? I see what you are doing Cates...

Simply amazing. Taylor really has his ways in these smaller stories.

One would think this would be just CW's Flash done again. But it's not. It has it's own spin it and something new to explore.

Definitely interested where this goes.

This is more like a Mysterio comic, then Symbiote Spide-Man. And I'm okay with it. It is just that good.

A very good issue. Writing and the artwork is on point.

Arkham Knight's identity is a clever one and makes his/her's motivation so much cleraer now.

Very good mini-series. The Batman Who Laughs is a great villain for Bruce and this series shows us more evil version of Bruce, which I like.

I wasn't a f an of the art in the beginning, but I'm grown to like it.

That was pretty good. Not enough focus on Vulture, but I do like the art and how great Kraven is manipulating everyone in this event.

And that Vermin stuff was also interesting.

With good writing, artwork and nice new arc for Miles, it's hard not to recommend this.
