Detective Comics #1075

We're about to embark on an epic journey through time, and Ram V has done an amazing job of getting us invested in what's to come. Read Full Review

Francavilla delivers some stunning art throughout the issue. The imagery brilliantly enhances and captures the dark and desperate tone of the story. Read Full Review

Francavilla's art is much more grounded than the past surreal takes in past issues, but I think it's a good match with the standalone story that Ram V tells with this issue. Read Full Review

If you e been following the series this issue still contributes to the larger narrative but a core of the experience makes the issue feel like a one shot. Read Full Review

just an incredible short story that explores Bruce's emotional trauma in a poetic and visually beautiful way. Read Full Review

Ram V and Franco Francavilla's moody, deliberate storytelling brings this two-parter to an end. While the Orghams finally have captured Batman, it still feels like their motivations and ultimate plan are far more hazy than engaging. Read Full Review

The book is also hurting now as it's so far removed from the events playing out in the rest of the Batman titles with the Batman/Catwoman Gotham War arc. Whether that's a bad thing is up for debate. It's just weird for such a major storyline occurring after Gotham Nocturne started and at this rate will end before this is over. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #1075 is a regrettable miss in an already struggling title. The highlight of Ram V's script is an interesting development concerning one of the GCPD detectives who owes his life to Batman. The low point is everything else, particularly Francavilla's rushed, sloppy art. Read Full Review

Detective Comics #1075 has turned a usually happy-go-lucky Bat-fan into a grumpy complaining nerd the opposite of what comics are supposed to do. I really hope that DC changes direction fast. Read Full Review

What are these critics smoking? This run has been phenomenal and this issue sets the stage in an entirely unexpected way. Making the cop the point of view character, and how it turns out for him is a shocking twist. The backup issue is beautifully made. This series takes its time but if you look closely at what's going on theres something magical here.

Thought this story has gone on for far too long, I'm doing my best to give each issue it's fair chance and thought this was a pretty good issue. The art was lacking but at least it appears Ram V now has a sense of direction for the story and hopefully gets to a satisfactory conclusion.
