It’s clear Loeb hasn’t read a Batman title since the last time he was writing one. So he doesn’t know that this conflict between Bruce and Jason is pretty stale and is only regressing Jason more. The art was also pretty basic especially for Lee. But I don’t really blame him with Loeb not really giving him anything to work with. You can tell Loeb’s heart really isn’t in this and I’m b more

I mean, it doesn't really help when Hickman doesn't want to focus on Spider-Man at all. Peter can be in the issue, but if the focus is entirely on the supporting cast, that just leaves him and his family very lackluster. This doesn't mean Hickman is a bad writer, or this is a badly written story, quite the opposite. But this series does deserve criticism for handling the main character poorly. Sure, letting Hickman cook is good, but after 17 issues, I am left disappointed.

Damascus steel isn't rare or only forged in a single region of the world. In fact, it's fairly simple and really only adds a special pattern to the metal and can maintain a sharper edge longer. Come on Loeb... A simple Google search would tell you that.
He writes Jason like every awful Red Hood fan, (which is most of them) leaning into the normal equivocating, vaguely authoritarian justifying more

I really enjoyed this. It's only 20 pages in one single issue, but it's so tightly paced and well-executed that I want to see more from this. Honestly Absolute flash has been ny third favorite series coming out of the Absolute DC Universe line-up.

Ah, the 60s! Silver age comics are so absurd....i love it!
The first story here is so fun. It already sets the tone for who Spider-Man is at this point. Torn between heroism and survival, slandered by the media. The space mission might seem too “big” for a character we associate with street level, grounded adventures, but it works(it's the 60s lol). J. Jonah Jameson is instantly iconic, a more

This just continues to blow my mind. This is the best Lemire DC work since his Green Arrow run, which to me is utterly classic.

This merges Lemire's penchant for psychological horror beautifully with his flair for family drama. This could end up as his defining DC run.
