A clever, enjoyable wrap up.

Nothing interesting to report here, Batman the Dawnbreaker, while cool looking, is very two dimensional and uninspired.

We finally get an issue that delivers on action well, something the series has been falling flat with quite a lot. I enjoy Storm's evolving understanding of her power and responsibility, portraying her god-like position as a privilege rather than a curse is a compelling new attitude.

Another Solid issue from Coates and he is getting into the groove of comics. My greatest joy of Coates bringing T'Challa and Storm back together is that it is a black writer helping a white company understand an audience. One thing we have not seen much of at Marvel over the years are strong black power couples. Ewing brought Blue Marvel and Spectrum together and Coates brought Storm and T'Challa back together and it is a welcome sight from Black comic readers. I also love Coates commitment to flushing out Wakanda, and this is especially true after the cancellation of World of Wakanda. Coates and Sprouse excel at creating a vivid backdrop of Wakanda. This is the most complex and layered Wakanda has been in years. We are setting up a real space for Wakanda and its sounding neighbors are becoming more vivid. The issue with most comic book universes is that the world is too narrow, and Marvel's number of heroes based in NY and the east coast is living proof of that. Give Coates more time and he can create an Africa and roster of characters for years to come. Storm is the real star of this issue, and like many of the issues in Coates run he is establishing a real Black Panther family of characters that have potential in the Marvel Universe. My only problem with Coates as a writer is that his books are not that accessible for other readers to jump in on. He has a manner of character speak that is not normal and his comic is dense, but I applaud him for creating a comic more for the adults seeking more complex story than the one note teen comedy that can often be in a Marvel comic. The other major knock is that Coates is writing political and fantasy adults story with Super heroes and not really writing a Super hero comic. If you are looking for a Black Panther who basically an African 50s Captain America this is not the comic for you, but if you want something deeper I would suggest getting the trade and getting an ear for this kind of writing. more

We're witnessing Wakanda's first attempts to convert to a constitutional monarchy, which is interesting. Nice job developing Thunderball into a relatable character out of the blue.

A great new, self-contained Batman story seemingly out of nowhere. Far more promising than any of the other Batman book out right now. One question: why is Batman locked up in his costume at the beginning? Lol.

Aldridge captures Cassie and Vlad's voices perfectly. The artwork is very sold aside from Cassie's abdominals looking anorexic, great layouts and use of shadow and colour.

Professor Pyg's goons are too funny, I can't tell if it intended as tongue-in-cheek or not, but I like it. Pyg sure speaks a lot of gibberish though. The artwork is good, it's a shame I'm not more familiar with the Shadow's mythos.

Another great issue, Aaron provides just the right balance of action and heart.

The wraparound cover is very beautiful. I love it. And that's all. Ok Ribic art is great. But I'm not fond of it. I prefer Del Mundo ^^ The story is really dumb. Once more marvel who didn't know how use a to powerful character turn it as a killer. Dumb idea ... I don't like the new Ghost rider so I hopped he will be killed ^^ The story with the avengers is a little more interesting, but hard to understand. I'm not found of the return of the one with claws. I like more the part about the first family. There is to much story who disturbs the story Aaron try to tell (Deadpool, Steve bowering Rogers, odinson ...) For something that talk about legacy that a shame not seen any New Warriors, New Mutant, Generation X, New X-Men academy, Avengers Academy or Young Avengers members (Not even a Champions). And the wraparound is lying to his teas about what I read in the interior. Thanks marvel to remembering me to not have any hope you can make a great story again ! more

The artwork convinced me to pick this up, but with a below average main plot that is repeatedly interrupted by unrelated trivial bullshit, and a six dollar price tag, I'm recommending readers avoid this issue like the plague. Don't reward price grabs like these with your hard earned dollars.

Finally injecting some emotion into this event. The baddie introduced at the end looks freakin' awesome despite being an obvious rip off of Judge Death.

A touching piece of character development tucked between story beats.

Well now, that's some creative problem solving.

The New Gods are entering the Green Lantern mythos again, I'm hoping this arc is better than the last one to include the New Gods was.

Kite Man! Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah, Kite Man! It's a good issue, although I feel like King has lost the point of the Riddler, he's not a strong-arm thug who occasionally rattles off riddles, he's a schemer that incorporates his schemes into riddles, and that character defining aspect of him has been lost in this arc.

While I do enjoy the banter, Bendis is getting a little overzealous with it, time to dial it back a notch. I could have used a little more clarity with Diamondback's escape. The art is great, however I do feel like the panels portraying Daredevil's senses could do a lot more interesting things.

Things are escalating big time. The plot is basically taking the path I figured it would go down, but I'm enjoying the ride. As for Doc Spektor, I'm not following it in the other books, but it seems decent.

It looked good when I flipped through this in my LCBS, but when I sat down to read it I didn't find anything of substance. I get why this dark universe Batman wants the speed force, but his transition to crossing over into the Rebirth universe is glossed over and sloppy, thus making his nefarious motivations feel one step too far out of character. This setup also shares a very strong resemblance to that of the New Avengers run that led up to Secret Wars. I can't imagine you'll miss out on anything in the main Dark Nights story by skipping this, so feel free to. more

Spurrier does a good job of giving each species a distinctive dialect and I have to read through the dialogue slowly to make sure I'm interpreting it properly. Halfway through the comic, a dark part of the Lore is revealed and the plot continues to get more intriguing from there.

The action has started and boy are there casualties. The wrong characters die in my opinion though, they killed off my favourite one and the most annoying one is still around. Come on Humphries, throw me a bone here.

The artwork is great, especially the colours, but the plot is a boring training issue that attempts to inspire the characters but we've been getting so much of this sort of thing lately in Green Lanterns, so it rings hollow.

A unique and appropriate use of the comic book medium, this issue could almost be read as a one-shot.

Uhk, as a twin myself, I find stereotypical twin characters (in this case, Skyburst and Stormclash) completing each other's sentences to be incredibly offensive. I like the guards in the opening pages having their little 15 minutes of fame before all hell breaks loose. The rest of the issue is just an exercise of getting from point A to point B, it's nothing special. The backup story is a little disturbing. more

This arc has been a series of hits and misses, but this is one of the hits. Tom King has a knack for writing Kite Man and has made him more interesting to read than Batman in this arc. This issue does end rather abruptly though, I thought I had missed a page or something.

This issue felt a bit scattered, at one point it felt like Aphra and Krrsantan teleported to another part of the base because the transition didn't work. I also feel like Aphra could have taken another, less risky and less unyielding path in how she deals with BT-1 and 0-0-0, not to spoil anything, but Aphra's character wouldn't risk her life needlessly.

Balls to the wall action in this issue, what's not to like?
