Just for the first story. It was really cool and awesome. The premise of a more monster hunter type of Batman is executed very well imo. And the designs are also cool.

I still don't know how to feel about this direction for Damian personally. I know this series is mostly a set up for Lazarus planet stuff and the whole things he is doing right now is cause of demon Nehza but I don't know if I completely understand how is that a more interesting direction for his character in comparison to his direction in his recent series. Like if it's to establish him more in the magical side of DC wouldn't have been be better to put him on Shadowpact with characters like Tracy-13 and jakeem thunder and other younger magic users? more

Personally wasn't really a fan of the art. The faces really looked weird at some points. And the reveal with the villain, Taylor seems to be going for meta commentary again much like he did in his X-Men red book and personally it doesn't work for me for the same reason it didn't work there, Taylor is not really good at doing meta commentary.

Could've been stronger though Williamson isn't really known for his endings.

I wish something interesting came out of this crossovers instead of them just being there to fight Canon fodders and bystanders. I wish there was a bigger lesson learned by them being there Like one of the consistent things in this book is Grayson trying to help the homeless and Raven could've mentioned the fact how her mother used to be homeless and how that led her to be manipulated when she was only seeking some shelter and help. Maybe mention how greatful she's that there was someone to help her and even though not everyone is going to be manipulated by a Demon worshipping Cult but everyone could use some help at their lowest and how happy she is that someone is doing it for others. That's a lesson there damnit. but all of them so far have just been to say : oh Grayson is a great guy. And I think I can say that most people know That's the case. Why not put some twist on it? more

LOL This is the most hilarious issue I’ve ever read in years. So while in Superman’s tie-in he dreams that he could spend time with his son, John Stewart wants a world without anyone better than him, like the Trinity, and Hal Jordan. Thus he will be praised as the greatest hero the world’s ever seen, by his mother. What does the writer want to say? John Stewart is such a man of vanity? Or it’s just another case of crazy fanboyism, like Geoff Thorne? Anyway it suits him well. more

This issue fell very short of expectations because it discarded the story that was being built up until this moment.

Instead of an interesting clash between Superman, who was supposedly much more powerful and this dangerous from all the time he was in the sun and his son, we see the problem being solved without any kind of difficult and the narration still has the gall to try to pretend something exciting is happening.

This wouldn't be a problem if the rest of the series hadn't presented the zombie Superman as a formidable threat waiting to happen. You can't just ignore such an important plot point (that the readership is invested in, IT WAS EVEN THE CLIMAX OF THE FIRST SERIES!) because it destroys the trust in your story and lets me think you're playing with "anything goes" rules.

Beyond that, the choices for the zombies aren't very itneresting either. SUre "Zombie Gods" is the thing that sounds cool on paper, but in practice they don't behave much different from other superpowered zombies in this series, with the minus that our characters don't have a personal connection to any of them. more

Felt like a waste of time.

Still disappointed with Bendix as a villain and frankly imo the arc with him has dragged long enough. Not a fan of the art either. I think thks book's art was a lot better when the old artist was on it.

I kinda liked this issue but I think that it felt rushed at some points like the stuff with brainiac and the reveal felt like it should've the end of issue 2 or 3. And the stuff with the inflected superman i wish it had more importance to it. The previous series hint at him having a bigger role and being a more important part of the story as a threat not something that's resolved this fast and felt like the whole building up to it was for nothing for the most part. The art still isn't of my liking. Personally I'd put the artist of the task force z book on this considering they seem to capture gore Better at least imo. more

Sampere's art is killer, let me get this out of the way.

This is not a crisis. Call it literally anything else. Nothing has happened, or at least everything that has happened up until this point should have been dealt with by the halfway point of issue 2. We are almost halfway through this event, and we apparently haven't even reached the real crisis yet. Let's all be honest here; it's not bad, it's just boring as hell.
I came up with some better names for this event than Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths:

-Justice League : Dark Invasion
-Justice League : Final Darkness
-Justice League : Darkness War
-Justice League : Darkness Rises
-Justice League : The Darkness Returns
-Justice League : The Darkness Strikes Again
-Justice League 5G : American Gothic II : Electric Boogaloo
-Dark Crisis or: How Josh Learned To Stop Worrying & Rip-Off Morrison/Moore/Johns
-Crisis : The Cure For Insomnia
-Crisis : Watching Paint Dry
-Good Guy v Bad Guy : Dawn of Justice, Legacy, Hope, Truth, Family, (and whatever other theme Williamson is trying to prop up to make this look important)
-Karma Crisis on Infinite Subreddits (because this is clearly written for them) more

I don't know why but i still can't get invested in this. In terms of scale and consequences it feels more like the week's crossover than a full-blown crisis. And i personally don't care about pariah and the dark Army. And in all honesty i think that's what this crisis lacks, a good villain. In comparison to other crisis events like Infinite crisis or final crisis the villain of this one pales in comparison. Also the characters act weird. They act like they haven't faced any other crisis before. Especially the titans. They should be a lot tougher than This. more

I dont know what to think. It's better than the last issue, but it still has so many random and bad things. All the justice league stuff, man, it's half of the issue, and Williamson just tell things that doesn't matter. If he wants to take John, Yara and the new batman together, what's the point of three issues of a new justice league that's going to leave in a blink of an eye? Also, when that scene end, Williamson has to explain every little thing to us like we were dumb, and it's frustrating. It's not really bad, but there are things that feels wrong, and it's not worth for an event with this importance in DC. I'm dissapointed. more

I hate to be that Guy but for a book that's only one issue till ending this one achieved so little in terms of story and the plot points it introduced previously. Also I can't shake the fact that as decent as this run has been I prefer the Gleason's run more. That run was clearly a redemption arc and establishing secondary and supporting cast for Damian and did it much better imo. Also it was a better structured character redemption considering it acknowledged Damian's deeds and moved the character past them though this one just ignores most of them. But that's just my opinion. more

L

It's fun and has been consistently good. Though a problem I have with is that the last two issues seems to be slower than the others which kinda damages the pacing but still fun.

Please don't make me miss Bendis's run

Honestly it's good to see this book have another story than blockbuster throwing Canon fodders at dick and this book having some actual story progression and stakes. The problem for me is that those stakes are tied to a character that barley has any character build up after her introduction and her being in

The end was good, but it seems like if you tore out 15 pages of the book, you wouldn’t miss anything.

Why won't this thing end?

I think people are too angry about John's characterization. Though wasn't a fan of the art and the couple of dialogues here and there.

How could someone miss the characters so much. Literally all three characters are completely wrong. This isn't even injustice or something like that (an else world) this is supposed to be what would have happened instead of Bendis ageing him outside world. This is absolute character assignation. DC stop giving Tom King to write these characters, he does NOT know how these characters work he just like to write some fan fiction version of characters with angst stories. He did the same with Batman and other related characters. more

In all honesty 10 pages for a dream and vision that we know is never going to come I a lot. And in all honesty I don't care for the main villain anymore. To me all of his goals and doings are for just for the sake of him being evil. And unfortunately he doesn't have the reasoning of lex luthor or his charm to make me care for him.
