Batman-News - Joshua McDonald
Aug 14, 2020Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch continue to slowly unfold their narrative as Batman discovers who Scorn is, and that Scorn has turned his assault on him. We continue to get great conversations between Batman and Gordon, and Bruce and Alfred, and a rise in tension due to the new stakes. I know this book isn't for everyone, but if you're one of those fans who feel that writing is more than just solid stories and the art should be more than just cool pictures, then this is the book for you.

The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally
Aug 11, 2020Bryan Hitch has a lot of work to do in this issue and the art meets the challenge. There are a lot of explosions throughout this issue and Batman gets thrown around a lot. Hitch does a great job of bringing that to life with moments that make the reader almost feel the pain Batman is experiencing. Read Full Review

I'm definifely enjoying this series, but I tell ya...these issues are ending really strangely. It almost feels like some issues are missing a page or two at the end, and we just hop out of the story abruptly. Some curious choices on Ellis' part, but the writing is still good. I just wish he had chosen a different artist to work with...Hitch's art is just so basic and uninteresting most of the time.

This one was less overtly yikes, but the spectre of yikes remains.

I think I kinda enjoyed this issue. I was engaged. That "oh god" panel was funny. I think I know why the art isn't really connecting the way it should be. Maybe it was different in earlier issues, but there's no sound effects? Nothing to help the image come to life. It's all just modeled puppetry. The coloring is flat, too, and that doesn't help. Warren Ellis is relying on the art too much for the art team to handle, and that's genuinely the biggest problem with this comic.

This series jumped the shark 5 issues ago. Save your money, go buy Archie and Jughead or something anything but this drivel.
