Demarcoa's Profile

The opening flashback where Bruce has a nightmare that his mom was shot was really well done overall. There are a lot of really strong scenes throughout this comic, like Batman tossing a gang into the water but making sure they all get life jackets. Overall though this arc is a very Snyder script. Lots of cool ideas, lots of cool moments, maybe not the best ending, nor does it necessarily come together into the best thing in the world. Still, it is absolutely a fun new take on Batman. Loved the creepy epilogue, at least.more

Wow, love the art in this issue. It's a little heavy on narration and Snyder sure loves his own writing but Black Mask gets a great moment taking down Batman.

The change in artist works well as we take a step back and look at this Batman's early days. It feels like more of what I wanted last issue, which is great. This issue did something a lot of other Batman stories seem to miss, and it really shows us how much Bruce's father meant to him. Young Bruce building a bridge with his father's guidance was great. That it had to be bat-themed was a little silly (this series never manages to avoid doing something that feels out of tone with the rest of the story each issue), but I still like what Snyder was going for overall.more

This series is undoubtedly one of the best comic series of 2024. The writing and art are both exceptional, and this latest issue maintains that high standard. I'm eagerly anticipating the next installment.

The art is fantastic.

The reinventing of Batman is both very compelling internally and externally. Snyder is taking HUGE swings, and they are super interesting.

I like the idea of Alfred being this paramilitary guy with no prior association with Batman - that's unique and interesting - but so far a lot of the writing around his part in this story has been quite silly and is hard to take seriously, as is this Batmobile. The Batmobile feels like it would have been expensive for even Billionaire Bruce Wayne so why is it here? It just feels like the whole p oint of this Batman is that he has less to work with and so far he seems to still have a lot of resources set up already, and we're only just getting started.

So far everything else has been working well for me, though. Art has been great from the start, and Snyder is building the foundations for a strong new take on Batman. Martha has been really well done so far and has a great scene with Bruce this issue. "I'm going to kiss you now so I don't slap you," stuck with me. Batman making a deal with Black Mask was good, too. I'm curious where the rest of the story arc goes and I like how everything does kind of tie back into The Zoo. Good title for the arc, it has layers.more

It is genuinely shocking how well this series is living up to its own hype so far. Some of Alfred's dialogue is a little silly, I found it hard to take the "Batman AF" line seriously, but this issue certainly has that Batman swagger down. This series is proof that the "go woke, go broke" crowd are talking out of their ass, too, I like Barbara in this and don't care what race she is. Martha bein g alive is super-interesting, too. Bad-ass action and I also really enjoyed Bruce's card game with his childhood friends - this world's Two-Face, Penguin, and Killer Croc. Very engaging series so far.more

While it starts a little slow and stilted, this was a phenomenal introduction to a new Batman. Loved the art style, too. Very engaging overall.

Absolutely brilliant. For those disenfranchised with the Chip Zdarsky run, look no further. An intelligent and brutal Batman. I cannot wait to read more.

This comic is kind of infamous. While the art isn't terrible it is pretty heavy on the cringe and Mr. X kind of sucks.

Art remains among the coolest I've ever seen in a Wolverine comic, right up there with Sam Kieth. A pretty suitably epic ending to a story this big in scope and scale.

This is very creative, to the extent it feels almost entirely its own little world separate from the rest of Marvel. I really like it for its uniqueness and creativity though. It reminds me of a lot of other comics and manga in a good way.

This art is so awesome. This series is really cool right out of the gate. I love a comic you can really take in like this. It goes by quick but I am enchanted.

I liked the story at first. Logan battles the Lizard, which is innately fun in and of itself to see him battling a Spider-Man story, then Logan helps a restaurant he damaged prepare some food. It's very silly, obviously, but in an endearing way. It gets extremely weird from there but hey, I had fun in the first half, at least, and it looked really cool.

The weakest issue in an already pretty weak miniseries. The action in this one was pretty awful and the pacing was awful. I don't get why the kung fu guys took forever to show up an help Logan this issue. They might as well have not been in this story. The ending with Logan becoming the Black Tiger was interesting but felt empty and inconsequential without real follow-up out there.

generic and dumb, I'm disappointed

I don't love this jokey writing style. It's hard to take seriously and makes the whole thing kind of feel pointless. Love the art still and Aaron as writing at least lets the good art breathe and take up focus in this comic.

Pretty fun but very slow moving and not a lot actually happens in this issue.

This was okay. For being part of a larger X-Men crossover event, this is pretty small and just focused on Logan's history with San Fanscisco's Chinatown. Art is great, at least.

Not an overly substantial read. Logan gets lit on fire and that's memorable, I guess.
