This was really good. Loved the art throughout, although I'm having to really try hard to convince my brain I'm not reading a previously unreleased prequel to Fraction and Aja's Hawkeye, cause the way Aja draws Danny is almost exactly like how he drew Clint, bandages and all. But yeah, I really enjoyed this. That female Iron Fist at the beginning was badass, I would love to see more of her. I'm in more

David Aja is an all-time great artist but doesn't do a lot of work.

Avanvolk - Nov 27, 2025

Which is a shame, he's mega talented. Does some banger covers too. His work here is a little grittier than in Hawkeye, but it suits the story and the character. Really good stuff.

Snyder is kind of a guy whose work when being extreme, or in this case Absolute, can be an absolute banger, or a shitshow.

Thankfully, this is absolute banger. What a comic and what a story.

This was actually fantastic. I don't know, maybe just having taken such a long break and jumping back a little blind made me forget how much I despised what was happening but this worked. There was weight here. Impact. For Peter, Strange, Cyra and Coulson. You could see it. That's what matters. Great job by Joe Kelly and amazing job by Cafu to make this emotional, and wonderful to look at.

Its hard not to appreciate this issue on a conceptual level at the very least.

It ends unresolved so we'll have to see the resolution, but as setup it is pretty solid. Having Spiderman face off against nihilism itself is an interesting premise, and the issue makes a case for it.

If done right this can be a really inspiring spidey moment. I hope they stick the landing.

Screaming Enigma - Nov 24, 2025 (edited)

Aside from this being a Bruce Wayne/Batman from a different universe (meaning any preconceived notions about the character from outside of Earth-Alpha would be automatically invalid), the mainline (Earth-0) Batman is most definitely "woke" (even though that term is been horrendously misused in recent years) and would strongly be against not just MAGA Republicans and Conservatives, but also what's been currently happening with I.C.E. in the United States.

I want to give this a higher score but the premise doesn't live up to the execution. The art is phenomenal, the story is interesting but not very gripping. I would have benefitted from either more pages or turn it into a mini series. It wasn't much of a gauntlet but Batman's interactions with Robin are really well done.

None of the stories here are particularly great. My favorite was No Spider Blues because I fully ship Deadpool and Peter. Something I noticed: In Rob Liefeld's story, there are barely any backgrounds. It's actually insane. We barely know at any point where any of the characters are in space. It will forever shock me that people like this guy's art.

It's every book he does art on. It's so far below the standard of quality that we should expect from the Big Two, and it's not a matter of style. He only gets work because of his name, and that's even perplexing in itself because his name wasn't good for long in the 90s.

This comic feels like everything one shouldn't be when making a story with set ending in mind.

And that is: it tells, it doesn't show.

I can always praise art here. I do love it. But the timeskip we got, was way too major. What is left is us being told multiple things without us actually seeing them. We are given implication that they happened and that's it.

Even better than its antecessor, "Dark Victory" ends the first part of Bruce Wayne journey as Batman, bringing closure to a lot of the characters first introduced in "Year One".

This time Batman is no longer alone in his quest for justice as a young, inexperienced Robin joins him and the dynamic duo is born!
