"I'M THE WORLD GREATEST DETECTIVE. I'LL FIND OUT WHO HIRED YOU. AND I WILL BREAK THEM TOO. YOU CAN GET YOUR OWN DAMN HELP"
Pretty great conclusion. Art by Tony Daniel was fantastic as usual and I liked how the fairytale connected to the story at the end. It makes me excited for what's coming next.
This is how I think the fairytale connected to the story:

Steve C reviewed Nightwing #50 Oct 21, 2018
My love of Nightwing is complicated... I like to read about Nightwing, but I don’t really know who the character is, as he seems to have a constantly changing (and sparingly used) supporting cast, less than compelling villains, and a rotating-door of a love life, so I’ve always felt it’s been hard for me to really grasp who he is on his own... I’m looking forward to seeing how Ben Percy wr more

Steve C reviewed Quantum Age: From the World of Black Hammer #3 Oct 11, 2018
Solid issue. I like the world building and the bit of backstory of the Quantum League.
Our heroes origins are revealed as team leader Archive V takes us from his technological birth to the breakup of the League, and a Black Hammer favorite makes a shocking return!
o Ties directly into the Eisner-Award winning Black Hammer comic books series and is written by main writer Jeff Lemire.

bucswin611 reviewed Heroes In Crisis #1 Sep 26, 2018
A bold book with a bold topic gets a bold score. An unprecedented attempt to represent the logical consequences of our heroes' adventures. And this is the best Clay Mann has been - with Morey's colors actually being my favorite part of the issue. This is one I'll reread over and over again.

There was nothing bold about any of this. It’s literally just another murder mystery with poor writing and characterization with a bunch of deaths for shock value.

If there's one thing popular fiction has taught us by now, it's: never make a deal with the devil! And yet Mister Miracle is still listening when Darkseid approaches him with just such a devilish proposition-if Scott sends his newborn son to Apokolips, there will be peace on New Genesis. Since when has Darkseid been famous for his honesty?! It'll b...
Steve C reviewed Batman #55 Sep 20, 2018
Not the best story of the run, but it’s still better than 90% of what’s being published. Daniel’s art is great.

The KGBeast lives! The Russian super-assassin is back-but under whose orders? Does he have a specific mission, or is this simply some leftover Cold War mayhem? Nyet, comrade-it has to do with Bruce Wayne's recent court case involving Mr. Freeze. Something is rotten in Gotham, and you can still smell it, even if it's on ice!

DC BLACK LABEL, the highly anticipated new imprint from DC Comics, starts here!
The Joker is dead.
There is no doubt about that. But whether Batman finally snapped his scrawny neck or some other sinister force in Gotham City did the deed is still a mystery.

Steve C reviewed Detective Comics #988 Sep 18, 2018
Overall, a good story. It lost points for misuse of “you’re” instead of “your” on page 29. Gordon to Batman: “I’m sure you’re (sic) presence is needed elsewhere.”
It should read either: “you’re needed elsewhere” or “your presence is needed elsewhere.”

Kicking off an arc guest-written by James Robinson (writer of the Batman classics "Blades" and "Face the Face") with art by rising star Stephen Segovia!

Steve C reviewed Mister Miracle #10 Aug 2, 2018
Incredibly emotional and honest issue. This is the best comic book being published, possibly ever.
Darkseid has put an offer on the table- something that can end the war between New Genesis and Apokolips once and for all. The stakes are high, but peace is important. Mister Miracle finds himself caught having to make a decision that won't just change the new life he's been building, but potentially the entirety of the universe.
