    Dark Knight News - James Attias

    I love love love when characters from comic books, who have been created many many years ago, and have somewhat become silly or a parody, get a modern update and a level up. Over the fence at Marvel recently they have done it with Doug Ramsey in Age of Revelation. And James Gunn's Suicide Squad did it with Polka Dot man. I love when they do that. Shows that these characters that we have all read since we were kids, and seen in cartoons have unlimited potential! Can't praise it enough. Now I think if you read this issue you will know exactly who i'm talking about, but due to the legal spoiler implications. I can't talk about it until next issue haha. So read this one asap so you understand all of the references! Last Clue He Gid It! Read Full Review

    The saga of The Quiet Man heads into uncharted water with this latest issue. Kennedy-Johnson's writing baits the readers in before a huge surprise throws everything up in the air. Raffaele and Maiolo one in on the heavy circumstances surrounding Gotham's newest problem. There's never a let-down of drama and action within these pages. Read Full Review

    The improved art (from last month), fun story telling, and elements of a mystery make this issue an intriguing ride, in spite of the boring antagonist. Read Full Review

    This arc is far and away the best thing PKJ has ever written and the end reveal was fantastic. Penguin, Two-Face, and Ventriloquist are three of my favorite villains so this story is just checking off all the boxes for me. Great call to have a subtle character like the quiet man hunting them down as I don't think the story would be as effective with some verbose character hunting them down. Only minor gripe with the issue is the street kids are starting to be a bit much and though the art is great, Damien looks off character. Really hoping PJK sticks the landing on this are it'll be a trade worth collecting.

    I heard that either the title was ending or PHilip Kennedy Johnson was leaving it. Let me know which is true. This was a very exciting issue, though it still bothers me that Bruce won't give any money to homeless kids any money to get them off the street. Johnson is using the classic villains in interesting ways. My Review Channel - https://youtu.be/zk0uW_9bYKw
