Robert Steltenpohl Comic Reviews

When I first began the issue, I felt that the art didnt fit what I was expecting. However, it grew on me quickly, and I feel that it fits perfectly for what the issue is trying to accomplish. I give kudos to Elena Casagrande, Michele Pasta, and company for grasping me with the art that helped tell a great set up story.

The first issue of Batman Eternal is a strong outing for Scott Snyder and gives us more of a reason to love the mans writing. Were introduced to quite a bit of characters and left with a cliffhanger that will definitely carry for a few issues. I was, personally, left with a few questions and I really cant wait to find out the relevance of this new guy, Jason Bard.

I appreciate this book. I wasn't blown away. It was a filler book that gave us a strong finish for the showdown next month. The art carried it and I don't mean that in a bad way. I'm interested to see what Higgins does with the end of Dick's reason for going to Chicago.
