Mar 12, 2024This is a severely underrated comic book run to which more people should pay attention. The characters shine a new light on some of the bat-family while getting fresh and new ideas. The art, along with the writing, blend, delivering a mysteriously exciting adventure. Read Full Review

Mar 12, 2024Overall, this issue was okay. Outside of the mildly distracting backgrounds that look like posterized jpegs, the artwork is fine too. I especially found the lighting and ink to be a highlight, even if it is seemingly uses it as a crutch to hide how empty the book is. Moreover, the dialogue doesn't always come off natural. On a positive note, I really like how much this series uses the lore to tell these standalone stories. Although, Lanzing and Kelly are leaving a lot of story on the table. None of the past few stories have gone anywhere. The new passive Outsiders attend a party they didn't like for information they could get anywhere else. Hopefully things pick up because the group feel extremely depressing and disinterested in each scenario. Read Full Review
