GWW has it exactly right.

A really good comic is looking to get out to the world here, but the scattered plot and underdeveloped cast are in the way. It's no accident that the moments with Jon and Damian work so much better since we know them so well.

It's about time Marvel let Seanan just have fun with a parallel earth instead of either sticking with the beats from the LaTour series or shoehorning Gwen into the regular Marvel universe.

Solid but very much setup, and something about Bruce and about Jackie seemed a bit off.

A really fun comic with some good art and great guest stars, but it's starting to suffer from the decompression that Vendetti fell into on GLC.

Loved how utterly dismissive Sky Tyrant is of The Batman Who Bores and his Dark Multiverse.

Another excellent issue with a great surprise at the end.

Decompression is taking its toll. I am not sure I remember what's been going on, in fact.

Despite some great art and good character work, things sputter a bit. And is that supposed to be Mister Bones at the end? Or someone else?

Some interesting things here, like the Red Cloud's origin and the chat between Supes and Chief Moore. But too many different things being tossed against the wall at once, some incredibly bad art by JRjr, and a potentially difficult subplot involving Superman playing politics tossed out like it's just another thing. Given how strong Action has been, this pretty good issue turns out to be a real downer. more

A pretty good story, though it hits the usual beats that a Tomasi Batstory hits. I like the cops being friendly with Bats (a side effect of six months of Bane running Gotham?) But as someone who doesn't read either Batman or Batman/Superman, I feel like I am walking in in the middle of things. I know Alfred is dead, and I know Jim Gordon has taken leave of his senses. But their absence still seems abrupt. And really, the best Gotham can do is Bullock? Where's Maggie Sawyer? more

There are a million million good ideas on the loose here, and the only thing stopping me from loving this series more is that most of the ideas have no room to breathe.

There is a ton of potential here, if only BMB could get out of his own way. He's too eager to do everything at once, and we aren't really getting to know anyone as a result. I sort of wish he had started with the origin of the Legion, even if I get that he didn't want to cover that ground again. And we don't need Damian so soon, even if the Super-Sons are just that cool.

A story about how all those people wearing Guy Fawkes masks at protests are really wearing V for Vendetta masked licensed by Warner Bros.

WOW! this was a Batman comic?
very dialogue heavy and uninteresting.

sorry DC, but your new status quo really sucks. Lucius Fox is a terrible replacement for Alfred. he has zero chemistry with Bruce. Alfred really was the heart of this series and it shows. he was the light that pulled Bruce Back from the Darkness, and added the much needed levity to have entertaining conversations with Bruce.
Lucius Fox was just very boring in this comic. and what the hell happened to his Plausible Deniability?

-this comic was Dull & Dreary.
-the dialogue was robotic.
-the art was 'MEH'.
-there was no real Action or Excitement.
-a chore to read.
-Detective Comics continues to spiral downward in quality.

Better the second time around. And gives me a modicum of hope on a rather hopeless day.

Another brilliant issue, with some really subtle bits. (At no point does the tech genius say that 9/11 led him to do his great project, but the timestamp makes it clear that Spurrier wants to mention it without being a bludgeon.) Only way it could have been better is for Evely to have done the art.

If only this were part of an ongoing series and not the use of 1/12th of the series to address something that happened in another comic.

And Perkins cannot draw babies.

Why isn't everyone talking about this?

Welcome back, Lorne.

The end of the fight within J'Onn's mind was a bit of a letdown, but I love the art and love the team of Jones and Meade. Can we keep her, and keep this longer than a year?

A lot to like here, but I am not sure we need Mrs. Freeze. Though I sort of love that Luthor cheated poor Victor. I assume a lot of his gifts are going to work out that way.

Almost missed this because of the stupid logo-free cover. I am really not digging the Year of the Villain stuff at all, and I think BMB would have preferred to skip it as well. The stuff with the Invisible Mafia and Leviathan is a lot more interesting, anyway.

But what kills the issue is the usual subpar work from JRJr, who hasn't drawn a comic I like since the 80s. Why did DC poach him from Marvel again? And BOOO for his inability to draw Leoni at her proper weight. more

Slightly underwhemling, in part because the fight is a bit of a bore, and in part because the minotaur who runs Roxxon talks we too much and seems a bit cartoony.

Excellent art and a general effort to turn back the clock to the original Denny O'Neil make this a delight to old school fans of Vic Sage, even if at times this threatens to teeter into nostalgia. Lemire's script stays focused, and he gives one of his better efforts for DC in the past few years.

Too fast a read and the art is a bit scratchy, but engaging and entertaining as usual.

A good but not stellar start, buoyed by some heady if familiar SF ideas and some amazing art. For a first effort, Jemisin does a good job, but I think she needs to step back from the narration a bit more.

Is anyone reading this? Are YOU reading this? Why aren't you reading this? This is an incredible comic, and this issue is the best so far. Spurrier and Evely hit a grand slam.

Stunning and chilling and gripping. War on humanity? Or really just war on capitalism? Is Amdeus right? Is Bruce's crusade doomed? We will see. But what a trip we are on.

Too many characters for a new comic, and not enough to distinguish them yet. But the art is great, there is some seriously weird world-building going on, and I came away happy. Definitely worth trying. Assuming you still like Bendis. Seems I still like Bendis.

The only things wrong with this comic are that we didn't learn how Vic Sage is alive, and that all the political intrigue involving a whistleblower has to compete with reality. Though I really do wish Lois Lane were on the impeachment trail. Otherwise, amazing art and great character stuff. A home run.
