The art is the best part. It's expressive and it's clean. I love the design work too except for the kids, who look too darn creepy for me. All in all, it's a book that doesn't make much in the way of choices story wise. But the art will make you stick with it. It may even make you skip reading the words, especially if bored.

If we can get a good story to match the artwork, it would be a top book for sure.

This is a vast improvement over previous issues. The art is still lacking a bit, but until Pelletier is off the book, it's just going to feel that way for me. But this again, is much stronger than previous issues. Let's see what happens from here.

The creative team ends the issue fairly well too. I wish they started off the series with these last few issues. While I'm not the biggest Pelletier fan, he does okay here. Both of the creators do. Maybe they will work together again. They finally found their footing in their collaboration, even if it's a little late.

It has to be said that I'm really hoping King didn't weave an incredible story these last 72 issues just to get us to a watered down version of Knightfall. There are a lot of nods to it and quite honestly, that's when the series is at its weakest. King can tell an original story well. I hope he continues to do that rather than redo an already used up story. Sure, it was great at the time. But his run has turned into its own thing and I hope it stays there.

The story is fun although it did move a little too quickly for me. The art however is awesome. If you put Rick Leonardi on a book as the artist, I'm in no matter what. He's quite excellent. The book is drawn amazingly and I'm happy he's on this comic. A fun book indeed.

None of this would work without that art by Kelley Jones. Jones gives his artwork feeling, emotion, and an expressiveness all of it's own. It's beautiful in its creativity and the colors really pop as well. This is a descent into madness and it takes that decent very seriously. And that's something to truly be commended. This is simply a comic book that is fantastic.

The ending is especially wonderful because Peterson and Jones take Batman out of the toy box and they shake him around. Then, they put him back having been through the wringer and give us that one hero image to end with. Yet, the effects of the story are real and it's represented in that image very well. It's really some powerful stuff. This story needs to be in my collection as a hardcover. It's really that good and I commend the creative team for taking a chance and really just going for it. It paid off in an imaginative and creative way.

There is a revelation later in the issue that shows Batman where he really is. And it's something we have never seen before. Yes, it is the weird future we have seen in the advertisements.

I commend Ahonen for using the comic form as therapy (as he has been reported to have done here) and made a charming book in the process.

The story is one of the weirdest I've seen in quite some time. I'm fine with that though. The creative team seems to have it all together though and it shows. This may be a quirky title but it really does involve the reader. I'm looking forward to reading some more of this book when the next chapters come out.

The art has amazing brushwork from Powell. It serves the story amazingly and it's incredibly how each page is a work of art, yet keeps the story moving. Powell kills it here with this book. He's a true artist, prolific as hell, and deserves his name up there with the greats. This is amongst his best work.

It's great. Tomasi really has been firing on all cylinders since he started writing this series and it's quite impressive. And I'm a huge Brad Walker fan. His art and storytelling at both tops. I have a feeling this storyline may end being a classic.

Detective Comics is back where it should always have been. What I mean by that is, it's as good if not better than than the main Batman title itself. Tomasi has brought the book back up to that level of quality. Now let's keep it there.

The ending is a little too quick and pat. There was a lot of buildup with not a lot of payoff. The art was nice but not as good as what we are used to on this title. It is still a decent comic right up to the end though. And while it feels like a filler story, it is still a nice enough time until the next issue.

I am enjoying this comic book very much. It is unlike anything else out there and that is a good thing. I am only sad that it is a limited series (but it doesn't have to be DC). I love both of these creators and I feel like this is a gift every time it comes out. Well done gentlemen.

The backup story for this is written and illustrated by Jeff Lemire. It features the Peacemaker and it is absolutely wonderful. It is basically a short story that has Peacemaker headed towards Dangerfield, Arizona. He encounters a little bit of trouble on his way. It completes the nice package of that this book is. This is another enjoyable issue of this title.

I have pretty much written off Tim Seeley at this point. This book is fun yet incredibly goofy. The best part again is Williams on the art duties. His work makes me smile right along with the story making me cringe.I took it in good fun. If you look at it like that, you may enjoy it a bit. I'll read the rest of the series of course. But my brain will be shut off for the remainder of my time here for sure.

The ending does have a nice twist. However, as much as I enjoyed this, I still had the nagging feeling that this still wasn't the John Constantine that I remember. But that is okay. It is the closest that they have had to classic Constantine in quite awhile. And that is a step in the right direction as far as I'm concerned.

Bendis writes a very compressed comic. Not a lot happens for my money. It feels like you just about open the book and then you find yourself at the end. Now, it is pretty decent overall. But it feels more like a snack and not a full meal. The best part is Ryan Sook's artwork. He makes the snack feel much more filling than it really is.

They examine the Trident. The Legion then regroups and try to figure out the next step. Then Superman makes a decision. He decides that he needs some help. So he decides to go see the Damian Wayne Robin. And that is where the issue ends. I loved the ending to be honest. It is the best part of this.The art again is the really just awesome. The writing gets a little too cute and jokey for my tastes. It is a little boring to be honest, but again it does have a cute ending. Maybe it'll pick up but this could have been stronger than it is.

This book has been schizophrenic. There is no two ways about it. If they can settle on a creative team and make the book consistent, it'll return to where we were just a few months ago. But this isn't bad at all. I very much enjoyed it.

Chris Mooneyham is doing some amazing work on this title. He's one of the best artists that DC has in their arsenal. His storytelling is top notch and his figure drawing is exemplary. I look forward to more work for him. He takes the interesting script from Jurgens and really brings it home.

This is a nicely paced issue. The art is especially good by Ronan Cliquet. I hope he stays on awhile. While I wish that we can give Dick back to being himself, Jurgens and Cliquet make the most of what they were given. It makes for a really compelling story indeed.

By time we get back to the present, the issue is just about over. And it's a shame. There is so much more that this book can explore besides this. It just doesn't.

So, this story is simply amazing. I read this book twice, quite honestly. It drew me in and I couldn't put it down each time. The horror film setting is nicely researched and feels real. The characters are too. When you put that together with a strong story, you get one of the best books of the year. The creators make everything in this book the best it can be. It's a lovely and intelligent experience from start to end that entertains in a way that feels new. Bravo.

The best storyline in this issue is the story between Jason and Artemis. They had kissed in a previous issue and now the two of them follow up on it. This is especially well done as Lobdell and artist Paolo Pantalena really do a lot with just these characters walking and talking. It is impressive for sure.By the end of the issue, Jason and Artemis deal with their feelings. The last few pages are beautiful and maybe the best sequence this series has ever had.

What can I say about this creative team that I haven't said yet? Well, they are both geniuses. The story that they have created is great. And Pace is fast becoming one of my favorite artists. This is a great book that is good for those who love comics and for those who have never read one, but would like to see the best that the form has to offer.

It is an easy read and it is incredibly emotional. The artwork is perfect and works hand in hand with the script. I wouldn't mind reading a few more adventures with this world that Grace has developed here. It is a very strong and effective piece.

The writing here is spot on. I have never been that big of a Herbert fan but man, does he do a good job here. This is a pretty excellent one shot that tells a great little story and doesn't overstay it's welcome.

It's exciting. There are so many questions raised in the first issue. This six issue series starts off great and is fueled with great inspired writing. My only question is if Bendis can make the big picture satisfactory. The adventure started off great here. Let's see where it takes us. For now, it's a high level book that will be at the top of my reading pile.

Like I said before, the art is really good here. But I have lost interest in this. Maybe it will pick up but we deserve more than this, especially after close to a year of stories leading up to this. This is flat and it could have been very exciting instead.

Year of the Villain: Hell Arisen #3

At the end of the issue, Lex stages a big showdown at the Hall of Justice. It is super wacky and I wasn't very into it so it didn't have much impact for me. It felt flat to me, and I know the creators thought they were doing something exciting. Sadly, it didn't connect and land for me.

The story is well handled. The LGBT themes are done very well as arevthe themes of misplaced identity. The artwork is perfect as well and really makes the book a stand out. This is another triumph from the DC Ink line.

I'm looking forward to picking up this series and seeing how it develops. For right now, it's got an excellent beginning and It could turn out to be a sleeper.
