Batman / Superman #9

Clayton Henry joins up as the artist this issue. Henry has a clean and energetic style that merges the larger than life aspects of Supermans world and Batmans more grounded city life especially well. Alejandro Sanchezs colors are very strong as well. Read Full Review

This issue is not to be missed; packed with gorgeous illustrations and driven at a breakneck pace, Batman/Superman (2019-) #9 offers readers an exciting jumping-on point featuring one of Superman's oldest adversaries. Read Full Review

This is a very beautiful looking book. It is too short for sure, but I certainly enjoyed this. Read Full Review

Clayton Henry does a really good job with the art in this issue. The characters look good and the action is given some grand scope that works well with the story. Read Full Review

I liked this issue thanks to it feeling natural in Batman and Superman's worlds while not forcing the team-up. The book is also gorgeous to look at and is of the triple-A title tier in quality. Read Full Review

I think the strength of this title, why it succeeds where other DC team-up titles have failed, is that it knows how to perfectly fuse the two worlds of the lead characters and take them both off-balance in a way that creates compelling new story possibilities. It also feels like it has more of an impact on their worlds than any similar title " a definite win. Read Full Review

Joshua Williamson has me on board this book, finally with an intriguing story filled with cool villains, a bunch of nods to current continuity, and kick-ass art by Clayton Henry.  The story does barely get moving, but I'll be checking it out next month for sure. Read Full Review

This investigation leads one to be killed and the other to be captured by the Ultra-Humanite who is concocting a revenge scheme against Superman by utilizing an Atomic Army! Decent opening chapter even if it did result in the death of Atomic Skull. The art is slick. And, as I said, I like that this is simply an adventure the two title characters are having. It isn't (or doesn't seem to be) tied to ongoing longform plots in their titles. Read Full Review

Batman/Superman #8 " Ultra-Humanite. Can I write that again"Ultra-Humanite! DC goes to the vault and comes back with a treasure! Thanks Joshua Williamson for getting the comics back to some of its roots. I love a good visit back in time! Read Full Review

Give it a read. It's fun. Read Full Review

The issue sets up this adventure with everything it needs to fulfill its potential, and from here on out it should have no problem soaring. Read Full Review

I hope that this series will get better, but for the time being, I recommend that you spend your hard-earned dollars on a different book. Batman/Superman #9 is a very average comic at best. Read Full Review

Back to having pretty great artwork once more! Batman and Superman finding out who killed Atmoic Skull? A bonus!

Batman/Superman #9 is a solid issue as it presents a first look at a new villain, the Ultra-Humanite. Silly name perhaps. However, Sanchez's artwork does a fine job of bringing him to life, and the story sets up an interesting premise around atomic skull.

Is it wrong that I got super excited about the Ultra-Humanite being in this one?

I read this is sort of a fugue state last night, so maybe I'm just missing something. But almost nothing happened in this issue, right? I'm not just misremembering the issue. Actually, looking at the solicitation, that's just a synopsis of the issue. That solicitation spoils the whole thing. Eh, at least it's not Flash.
