It makes me a little sad that this series has been pretty low on the radar. It’s honestly the best Batman story we’ve gotten in recent years. I’m hoping it takes off once the collected edition gets released.

Another amazing issue. I love the small scale problem focusing on just smallville. Seeing a sliver of smallville life. Art as always is amazing, can't wait for the next issue.

This was an excellent conclusion to the series. The art was some of the best in all of the issues. There was one beautiful homage to a classic Neal Adams Batman that brought a smile to my face. It was the famous splash page from Batman #251. Sherman homages it in the sequence where it's being said- "Fire does set the lizard brain alight". Look at that Batman figure in comparison to the figure Nea more

Overall, this was a decent conclusion of the series. Some of the plot points throughout felt like a needless retread of Robin year one. But overall, I'm looking forward to getting this in collected hardcover.
The writing for this series has been decent. But it was the artwork that really made the series shine. This and Batman Dark Patterns have been the best series to come out from DC

I fell like this and dark patterns are criminally underrated. DP in particular is my kind of Batman story. It fells like an excellent Batman run from the early 2000.

I could not agree more! I'm waiting until Dark Patterns #12 releases, so I can put the full series in with my collection of Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight (1989) singles. It truly feels at home that series of "early carrer" Batman stories.

The story was heartwarming and cute. Marvel heroes making sure Peter Parker does not feel lonely during Christmas. But I thought it was just ok. I guess I recommend it to anyone who wants a nice holiday story.

Great Christmas collection of small DC stories. Each stories were good, and it gave that warmth feeling expected from a Xmas Edition comic. I recommend this to anyone for the Christmas season.

OOff this was so underwhelming. The art was great, but the story about Dagon was such a disappointment. He was being introduce as the next big bad villain, a god. But to be defeated that easily was very disappointing.
