Dan Watters's clever writing and Hayden Sherman's dynamic, inventive art strike a great balance between serious moments and humor. It's easily one of the best comics you can pick up right now. Seriously, if you're not reading this, you're missing out! Read Full Review

Dec 24, 2025The nature of the building and how Scarface is using it definitely hits as sweet spot for me, particularly with Sherman's eye for design in trying to create the right feeling within it. It's oppressive and dangerous just physically, never mind the psychological side as well. I'm also really digging this leaner and younger Batman since it's just the first few years in the role, as the way we get to look at him is a rare time of feeling like it captures his age well. The costume continues to look great, and the way Sheman illustrates him going through problem-solving moments is strong. Just a strong creative approach overall here that is making for some thoroughly engaging stories. With plenty of action, but also a lot of good detective and character work. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Jack Whyte
Apr 09, 2025This is a comic that knows what it wants to be and does that very well. Is that thing totally in line with what we all thought this book was going to be from the outset? Slightly! Is that a reason to skip this chapter? Not a chance! Read Full Review

What a solid book. The art by Sherman is great. The story is ok, but it's just so elevated visually.

I have been really loving this series. Glad I decided to use some kindle points to buy the first few issues. So worth it, both in story and art. I must say that I really enjoyed the first arc a bit more. The two issues of this arc have been decent, but the shock twist at the end of this issue I saw coming a mile away in previous issue #4 (PAGE #17 PANEL-3). It's still a decent issue, but the obviousness of the gag that lead me to predicting the "SHOCK REVEAL" before it happened definitely left me cold. Still love this series, and really looking forward to reading the next issue.
