6-7 Keep the reader wanting more:

9-10 Re-readability:
wouldn't reread more

This issue was kind of a drag to get though. I didn't really find any of the characters relatable or interesting. This is just a mediocre revenge story.

"I WANT YOU ALL TO THINK OF THIS PLACE LIKE A CARNIVAL FUNHOUSE TONIGHT... EXCEPT THE ONLY MONSTER IN HERE WITH YOU... IS ME"

Wow, this issue has it all. Badass batman, one of the most touching moments in a comic book I read in a while, gorgeous art and an interesting story.

Pick this one up. I can't recommend it enough.

Once again, the Tomasi/Mahnke dream-team hits it out of the park! After only two issues, it's safe to say that Bats is finally in good hands again.

The art and writing continue being solid.

Leslie succumbs to the Joker venom, and Alfred is stabbed by a man in a Zorro outfit. Fun callback to Year One with the chair and the bell.

Also enjoyed the reference to Damian's medical skills, as he apparently performed surgery on Bruce during the "Court of Owls" storyline.

The mastermind behind this plot seems to be going after Bruce's former mentors, and his next target (according to the solicits) is none other than Henri Ducard. If you remember back in Tomasi's Batman & Robin run from the New 52, Henri's son, Morgan, fought the dyanmic duo; ultimately being executed by Damian.

We also know that Tomasi will be writing a story in Detective #1000 about the "Arkham Knight" from the video game series; possibly some connections there.

The book ends with Batman going to Arkham in search of answers (though it's unlikely he will get any).

Main problem with this book is its shorter length, which makes it feel like there's less plot progression. more

Issue started out good but went slightly downhill in a confusing way. The art was amazing! Cliffhanger definitely has me excited for new issue, shit is about to go down.

Comic Book Review Scale (0-10)

0 -1 Story must keep me engaged:
The story picks up right after the previous issue and then more death and then the ending cliffhanger made me say oh shit!

1-2 Must be able to Understand the Story:
I'd recommend having the last issue read but the first page kind of recaps the previous issue

2-3 Visuals/Artwork must make sense and be consistent:
artwork made sense and was the consistent only part that wasn't was when **spoiler** Alfred answered the door and was stabbed by "Zorro"
in the first panel the full mage you clearly see "Zorro" with a big brimmed circular hat and the next page last panel you see him walking away
with no hat on just what looks like a full head mask, I could be wrong but this was the only thing that stood out to me.

3-4 Visuals/Artwork must be able to tell the story:
Very nice artwork and images alone could tell the story but towards the end, the wording is needed to help explain what possibly
is going to happen next

4-5 Visuals/Artwork must be pleasing:
The artwork is very pleasing love the last page could have been a variant cover

5-6 Cover Artwork:
the main cover was nice and relevant think the variant was nice too the main cover was for the first half of the book and the varient
ties in the ending and next issue

6-7 Keep the reader wanting more:
definitely kept me wanting more and I want more give me the next issue already pretty good countdown issue to #1000

7-8 Catches me off guard (story/art):
multiple times I was caught off guard as I'm sure Bruce was a cough off guard too

8-9 Makes me want to talk about it ( to people outside the comic community):
don't think I'll be talking about this to anyone outside of my LCS

9-10 Re-readability:
enjoyed the issue but I'm going to seal and probably won't ever read again more

Comic Book Review Scale (0-10)

0 -1 Story must keep me engaged:
From the first page to the last page I was kept engaged and wanted more, one part gave me chills.

1-2 Must be able to Understand the Story
A very fluid story you can just pick up without reading previous issues and understand what's going on.

2-3 Visuals/Artwork must make sense and be consistent
artwork was consistent and made sense

3-4 Visuals/Art work must be able to tell the story
The art in the panels told the story and the words mostly filled in the blanks

4-5 Visuals/Artwork must be pleasing
The artwork was very pleasing and detailed

5-6 Cover Artwork
Regular cover is nice the variant cover is amazing with Bruce as an 8-year-old boy standing over his parent's bodies with the batman reflection in their blood

6-7 Keep the reader wanting more
I wanted the next copy very bad as the story is pretty good and leading up to the 1000th Detective comics issue

7-8 Catches me off guard (story/art)
The story abruptly changed course from a quick phone call and ended with someone dying didn't see that coming at all from the cover and first few pages

8-9 Makes me want to talk about it ( to people outside the comic community)
The story is good but nothing amazing that I would talk about it with people unless I'm at my LCS

9-10 Re-readability
Looking the comic over after reading don't think after I seal it in the bag id ever reopen it for a re-read more
