DippingBird reviewed Daphne Byrne #1 Jan 8, 2020
The art is a bit iffy in a couple of places, but overall there’s a fantastic dreary gothic atmosphere that embraces the grotesque ness of life and death. Loving this already.

The sudden death of her father has left her alone with her irresponsible, grief-stricken mother-who becomes easy prey for a group of occultists promising to contact her dead husband. While fighting to disentangle her mother from these charlatans, Daphne beg...

DippingBird reviewed Batman #86 Jan 8, 2020
There’s nothing bad, but there’s nothing that makes it good either. What should have been an exciting start to the first new run on the title since Rebirth started is just another mediocre Batman comic.

Batman has a new plan for Gotham City, but he's not the only one. Deathstroke has returned as well, under a mysterious new contract that could change everything.

DippingBird reviewed Batman: Creature of the Night #4 Dec 1, 2019
It may have been a long wait, but it was absolutely worth it. Batman: Creature Of The Night may not be about actual Batman, but it’s a tale all fans of the Dark Knight should read. Possibly my favourite Batman comic of the 21st century.
Bruce Wainwright is not the man he believed himself to be. He never was. But when you've unleashed horror on the world... what can you do about it? Is Bruce human after all? Or has he become more than a man? It's the unmissable finale of one of the best-reviewed miniseries of the year, sure to go down as a modern Batman classic!
