Batman (2016) #53 Aug 15, 2018

One of the best spidey issues in recent years. My only problem was the dull story arch surroumding it.

I am extremely satisfied with the direction the story is taking us. I also appreciate that both sides have a genuiney debatable opinion, something rarely seen in comics now (Civil War2).

Nightwing: New Order does more with character motive in one issue than secret empire does in nine issues.

Another fun addition to an entertaining series.

The art continues to be inconsistent, and more plot points that may never get resolved are created in this poorly paced issue.

What mainly killed the comic for me was the flashback in which Riri asks her teacher to discriminate against her so that she can play the victim. It makes Riri an even less likable character.

Like most Bendis comics, this felt like a chore to read with bloated, unnecessary dialogue. This has become Bendis's signature style. While they make this comic as a jumping on point, despite being the finale of an arch, you should avoid this book and wait until Slott's run starts. Hopefully, Dan Slott can bring something promising to the table, which Iron Man has lacked for years.

A lazy and predictable ending mixed with cheesy pretentious narration makes this arguably the weakest issue of the event.
