I must read this run.
Absolutely superb. Deniz is becoming quite the talent.
Series Premiere. Time is having a crisis. Mingling in the red-light district, you can find actual cavemen, medieval knights, and cyborg soldiers on leave from World War IV. Victorian debutantes amble their way into cell phone stores, confused and bewildered (what is a data plan?). On their way to work, bleary-eyed commuters get trapped in ti...

Beginning to end, this inaugural storyline was pure perfection in terms of both writing and artwork, akin to Scott Snyder’s excellent Court of Owls storyline in BATMAN 14 years ago. I can’t wait to see where the next storyline takes us!
A COSMIC THREAT ENCROACHES ON GATEWAY CITY! Wonder Woman has thrown everything she can think of at The Tetracide, and still it pushes forward, devouring Gateway City. With everything on the line, Diana has one big idea left, but in her current state, she has nowhere near the power she needs to pull it off...
If Jonathan Hickman wrote an issue of Star Trek, it would be this one. A brilliant, complicated masterpiece.
Sisko is stuck outside space-time on Bajor. He does not know if his crew and his family are alive or if his universe even exists beyond this plane.

The perfect run continues.

But with Bruce off on his own, Dick is left stuck at Wayne Manor. What's a boy wonder to do when no one's watching...?
Instantly sold on the premise.
Mini-Series Premiere. Slade Slaymaker is a kid from Alabama suddenly lost in a vicious world beyond his imagining, a world of marauding ant armies, spellcasting spider witches, and beetle-riding barbarians.

This latest chapter sizzles in the buildup to the finale. Batman dishes out amazing brutality and subsequently gets a brutal, violent beat down in return, all while the terrifying Black Mask ups the stakes for control of the city. This story hasn’t missed a beat since it started and is a pure adrenaline rush!
WILL THE PARTY END HERE FOR ABSOLUTE BATMAN? With his friends lives at stake, will a broken, beaten, and ultimately defeated Bruce Wayne finally compromise and give up both himself and his morals to Black Mask? Or does he have something even BIGGER than himself to help? And what does this have to do with Mayor James Gordon and his relationship with...
Every issues of this book has been Batman AF! This Batman is on a mission, and good to see. It's violent, and story driven. I prefer the art of Dragotta over issue 4. No spoilers, because you need to go to your local comic store and purchase all 5 of the issues. I'm very much looking forward to where this is going to go next!
I'll be covering several reviews on my podcast Lunchbrea more

This Batman run is the best we've had since Scott was writing the main series.
Longterm, I'd love this Batman to visit the mainline Batman.
Their difference in method and morality would make for an interesting quandary to explore.
How do we take out the bad guys? With intellect or force? They are both Batman. Which Batman philosophy saves most lives?

This really shows the voice they created for the character, and it pairs well with the visuals to elevate them.

I need this to be an ongoing series. There's so few ongoing series that are interesting right now. Ultimate Universe aside, which is awesome, main 616 is at an all-time boring level of writing right now, but then little gems like this cone out and remind me it could still be awesome again.
