Richardinho's Profile

I think this is a good issue to reach some conclusions about this new series. unfortunately, I do feel that something is missing. this issue is quite fragmented, being made up of a lot of different episodes that don't really seem connected. there's nothing really driving the narrative and things just seem to happen. the Riddler suddenly appears with no explanation as to what he's doing or why he's I think this is a good issue to reach some conclusions about this new series. unfortunately, I do feel that something is missing. this issue is quite fragmented, being made up of a lot of different episodes that don't really seem connected. there's nothing really driving the narrative and things just seem to happen. the Riddler suddenly appears with no explanation as to what he's doing or why he's more

it's a nice looking book. the drawings are charming, whilst the bold colors create a lot of atmosphere. the story is goes off at a relaxed pace, maybe too relaxed, and really not a lot happens, to be honest. this feels more like an interlude of sorts than a fully realised story arc.

the story is a bit ridiculous and lacking in drama - a fact even commented on by one of the characters. it all just feels a bit inconsequential. the elegant and unpretentious drawings by Caitlin Yarsky are a bright spot, however

I like Sophie Campbell's artwork, but I've got mixed feelings about the story. the joke on the cover about "boring small talk" is closer to the mark than perhaps was intended: there is a lot of dialogue that seems unnecessary and not very interesting. the story fizzled out a bit at the end with some unwelcome fan service about Supergirl choosing a new costume. still, I'm engaged enough to have fol I like Sophie Campbell's artwork, but I've got mixed feelings about the story. the joke on the cover about "boring small talk" is closer to the mark than perhaps was intended: there is a lot of dialogue that seems unnecessary and not very interesting. the story fizzled out a bit at the end with some unwelcome fan service about Supergirl choosing a new costume. still, I'm engaged enough to have fol more

as much as Chip Zdarsky run on Batman was somewhat underwhelming at times, I was still disappointed when I found out it was going to end to make way for what I expected to be nothing more than a cash grab, devoid of artistic inspiration. sadly, this has turned out to be the case. Lee's work is still impressive, but he's clearly just going through the motions at this point. his work has acquired wh as much as Chip Zdarsky run on Batman was somewhat underwhelming at times, I was still disappointed when I found out it was going to end to make way for what I expected to be nothing more than a cash grab, devoid of artistic inspiration. sadly, this has turned out to be the case.

great action story with some smart satirical swipes

on the one hand, there were a lot of ideas in here that I liked, but at the same time I found it very hard to work out what was going on and which characters were on each side. there's also something obnoxious about quoting Will Smith

generic, but well crafted, comic book. I picked this up without expecting much, but was pleasantly surprised. enough action, drama, and plot-twists to keep the casual reader engaged. I'm always on the look out for comics that just provide non-complicated entertainment and this issue delivers. I'll be looking out for the rest of the series, hoping they can keep it up

I was enjoying the first two episodes of Dying City, but in this issue it's taken a turn that I really don't care for. the artwork is an obvious pastiche of the style David Mazzucchelli assumed in Batman Year 1. This is bad enough for me: imagine if in the 1980s, they'd had someone working in the style of Dick Sprang in the mainstream Batman comics. it would have been unthinkable, and absurd, yet I was enjoying the first two episodes of Dying City, but in this issue it's taken a turn that I really don't care for. the artwork is an obvious pastiche of the style David Mazzucchelli assumed in Batman Year 1.

the story is really shaping up well. it has the feel of a Silver-age story with Superman somehow finding himself on Krypton and meeting his birth parents. the artwork is really nice and clean and perfectly suits the story. real Superman fans shouldn't want to miss this!

this issue builds well on the previous one. it's good to see Batman actually doing some detective work again. there's a lot of different threads and is fascinating to see how they are gradually been woven together. I'm looking forward to seeing what the outcome is. I have to say that the ending was a bit confusing. I still don't understand what was going on

jumping on board in the middle of this arc, I'm somewhat pleasantly confused about what's going on. set in the 19th century with characters from the 18th century, and George Washington is apparently the villain. the story pulls you along grippingly enough, so I don't have any real complaint apart from the Queen Mary being portrayed as the SS Majestic, which is sure to annoy ocean liner buffs like jumping on board in the middle of this arc, I'm somewhat pleasantly confused about what's going on. set in the 19th century with characters from the 18th century, and George Washington is apparently the villain. the story pulls you along grippingly enough, so I don't have any real complaint apart from the Queen Mary being portrayed as the SS Majestic, which is sure to annoy ocean liner buffs like more

I really wanted to like this, but it's unreadable twaddle. Constantine is barely in it, and it's impossible to tell what's going on. It's a shame because it does have some potentially interesting ideas in it, but the writer seems to be trying to emulate Finnegan's Wake

This is an interesting start, but there's not a huge amount that happens in the story. There's an attack on Gateway city, but most of the book is origin exposition. the drawings are brilliant, however. the design for Diane is fantastic and there are some great visuals, particularly early on. the colors are a bit muddy, particularly on the cover

exploring the Phantom Zone seems like a novel idea to me, so really excited about how that's going to turn out. it feels like it has a lot of potential to spawn a ton of stories in the coming years. the artwork is really nice and clean and tells the story nicely. I liked the back up feature, but the theme of exploration seemed a bit too similar to the main story.

some great storylines introduced in this issue. I'm really excited to see where they will lead. the fake-out on the first two pages was very artfully done, and the story is gripping from there on in. Chip Zdarsky has taken his fair share of criticism from some quarters, and it looks like his run is going to be terminated early by the imminent return of Loeb and Lee, but if he continues like this, some great storylines introduced in this issue.

the atmosphere is great, the drawings are great, the story is intriguing but it's super hard to follow. there seems to be two parallel narratives going on and it's difficult to tell them apart.
