If I could rate this a negative score I would. The mad hatter crapping himself , the awful dialogue throughout the book. It’s Tom King at his worst. A nothing book that doesn’t move the story forward except into the toilet.

Tom King gives into all his worst impulses. Jumping around to story parts he feels like telling with no justification, tearing down other characters to prop up his own, and of course complete mischaracterizations of the actual title character. This book is rotten.

Jonathan Hickman wants to write anything other than a book featuring Spider-Man. The title character has been barely in the book for much of the series and when he is featured… it’s not doing any heroics. Spider-Man has not thrown a single punch since issue #18 in a single panel. Let that sync in. If Hickman wants to world build , write D&D guides or a story with dinners and side quests etc he should do that and not waste my $ with a Non Spider-Man book. Give me the title character in a book with stakes.

This book has great art. I was really excited for this match up. I liked the idea of Superman always wanting to be the good guy.round 1 pretty cool. Round 2 begins the downfall as the issue becomes an absolutely jumbled mess. Superman himself can’t explain it nor can the writer. It just happens and we move on. Awful ending And ruined the story for me. Huge let down.

This comic reads like it’s missing pages while having pages added in from another story. Bruce gets a date and it goes nowhere with zero payoff. A new villain is introduced that I’m into. The idea that this guy has gained control of gothams criminal world and Batman knew nothing is ridiculous. Like the court of owls this rehash keeps happening to Batman and undermines him. Just tell a single story. It would have served the book better. The overall story felt positive and interesting and the art is absolutely amazing.

Kelly Thompson continues to offer up a tremendous series full of twists and turns. Kelly’s run on Birds of Prey was criminally bad. But this is like a different person all together. It’s damn good. Bravo.

awesome art. great story. fun read. really showcasing that Superman is in good hands with these 2 creators.

a near perfect issue. bravo.
