Too many hoods in this book lol. I liked it and that's about all I'll say as it's now cancelled. Normally I'd rather something get cancelled based on poor sales or shitty writing but this dummy just doesn't know how to keep it's mouth shut. Yeah, if you wanna just throw awful insults around you deserve to be called an it.

Good ending. Mark Waid is a trash person but he really seems to get DC much better than he does Marvel. Too bad this event was lost in the shuffle but what do you expect when there are around ten events a year per company. Too many chances given on trash= no one cares anymore.

A pretty good epilogue that shows the relation between this universe's Kal-El and the Kents. I would have liked a little more between them, and maybe we'll end up getting that in future issues, but I still enjoyed it. Giandomenico does a nice job of filling in here, as well. I may not have enjoyed this as much as some other issues of the book thus far, but I'm still really looking forward to what's next. Also, in a bit of a spoiler, I don't know why I was as surprised as I was to see Ra's al Ghul at the end. more

A very well-written issue depicting what happened at the end of Krypton, which felt particularly relevant in the current landscape in the real world. I have to acknowledge Sandoval, as well, as he's doing a fantastic job on the interiors, plus this cover especially.

I can't count the amount of times throughout all the iterations of media we've seen the fall of Krypton but this is one of the most heartbreaking.

Another really well-done issue here, in my opinion. Sandoval's art is great throughout, and Aaron provides some awesome character work as well. My main complaint about this is that I think it ended a little too soon. I just wish there was a tiny bit more here. However, this was still really good stuff and I continue to look forward to what's next.

This book is starting to remind me of Spencer run in the worst way. Aka art being really messy because we have multiple artists with conflicting styles needing to work together. It doesn't work and because of that, we got #875, one of the worst issues of ASM ever imo.

Like writing is fine. It's rushed but fine. So much stuff happens and because we have both Nauck and JRJR, two very different artists, it's hard to really immerse in this comic. And because of that, I am left with meh.

Sure it's readable. But as a conclusion to Resolute Spider-Man arc, it feels kinda hollow. more

This might be the most I have ever liked Clay Mann's art. And somehow I missed reading this issue until I hit #15. Don't know if that says anything because I never felt like I missed one or any key information. Still good.

A generational comic book spectical.

Jock always shines. I guess there is someone who can bring Snyder's script to life other than Dragotta. While not as grotesque and explosive as Dragotta's issues, this really leans into the macabre and horrifying. AS we slowly go through the lives of the Joker's ancestors(?) we're treated to increasingly terrifying depictions of the same individuals. His transformation is shocking to see and while I understand apprehension from readers whenever Snyder approaches the Joker, I'm more than ready to accept whatever insane thing he has kicked up here. We're in a new universe. The Laughing Man didn't work well in the New 52 because it seemingly erased decades of continuity. People don't want that even if it was never true, just what the Joker wanted you to believe. The same exact thing could be true here but since this is an all new world and all new form, I'm in for it. That reveal at the end was something else. Predictable maybe but shocking nonetheless. more

Jock's art hits a lot harder thanks to the coloring, and while I can kind of piece together the origin of Joker using corpses of orphans to become this Dark Souls demon, it still works even with Scott Snyder's exposition. But I feel that it's more digestible than his cosmic exposition because it's not using any complex scientific words

This was a much hyped issue and it delivers on the horror angle snd the reveal of this monstrous figure.

Snyder shows off his storytelling chops here, but keeps things simple. Hes playing on concepts that he's had for the Joker for some time, but he gives it a more modern, more timely take that reflects a lot of modern urban legends of corrupt, untouchable evil billionaires.

He takes the framework of Bruce Wayne that we know more traditionally as a billionaire with a strong sense of moral justice and empathy, and flips it up its head. Mixing it with a laughing clown, with the joke being all of those who incur his wrath in his lust for power.

This Joker is a guy who does seemingly good things all so he can use the world as his plaything. Its an introducing that manages to be intriguing, enticing, but also memorable. To a skeptic it may read as a second attempt at the Batman who Laughs. But the presentation here? Aided by the brilliant lineart of Jock, sells this as a fresh take on a very old villain, whilst sticking to Snyders tried and true strengths.

Jocks art is the perfect fit for this issue. I've heard critiques of his work saying that he is simply copying what worked from predecessors, but on a weaker level. I dont agree. I think he's some himself as a pretty great storyteller while crafting a visual trademark entirely his own. Simply no other books look like his do.

Excited to see where the series goes from here. more

Gabe, you suck.

This pushed the boundaries of what I would expect and even want from a Batman comic. He went to the edge, did a gainer off it and still managed to come out being a good guy. Dragotta is amazing. Disgusting even. I don't know how another artist could do this script justice. There is nothing like Absolute Batman.

Holy amazing comic Batman.

A lot of really good developments here, primarily building to Bruce's "final(?)" confrontation with Bane in the next issue. Really looking forward to seeing how that plays out, particularly with how crazy a lot of the rest of the book has been. Snyder & Dragotta have stepped it up with this arc so far and I hope not just that the next issue ends the arc strongly, but also that they can keep up this level of quality as the series continues past that. more

Can't praise this series enough.
