I'm a bit concerned that this story will run out of pages before we get to see Absolute Batman. We'll be spending at least some of next issue in the same timeline. Does Batman need to die to move on like "The Return of Bruce Wayne?" or just win? The plot has many holes as to why a fight is needed anyway. Surely DG would listen to BW first, despite the last page trauma.

I love Green Lantern, mostly Hal, Kyle and Guy. I read Far Sector (all of it) and it was just... okay. Now we have Absolute Green Lantern and I haven't been a fan. I was going to drop it last issue but it was a light week. What an improvement this was, no action, fair enough but a nice little story away from all that enlightenment crap. Good enough to have me buy next issue at least.

This was not a fun book. The art was both too cartoony in some scenes and too dark and confusing in others. The characters did not sound they they should and the story did nothing to hook me in to the reading the next issue.

It's an improvement on the past 2 issues definitely, but continues to portray Batman and his allies as dumb and not the world's greatest detectives. I hope the Jason reveal is true, I could maybe get behind this explanation in terms or his character devolving, otherwise he's just another dummy for no reason. I'm also unsure why Damien would ally himself with the villain he has due to Damien's just It's an improvement on the past 2 issues definitely, but continues to portray Batman and his allies as dumb and not the world's greatest detectives.

I really enjoyed the character work in the issue. Making me feel sorry for a lapsed demon whose world and human family have fallen apart, is no mean feat, yet I genuinely do. His efforts to try and get back to them have been for naught, and now he will never be able to truly do so. His righteous yet misplaced anger will surely be his end. I'm also intrigued about the final 'haunting' page and I really enjoyed the character work in the issue.

James Robinson remade Earth 2 in 2012. Here Alan Scott was a young gay man, a 'new' character and I had no issue with making him gay, and enjoyed that series very much.

11 years later and the original Alan Scott is now gay, throwing away the love for his wife who he went to hell for, his children(dont know where they are to be honest), his heroism and selflessness.

It's just like the looney left have always said, men CAN give birth! Fuuuuuuuu...

Is it really time to have yet another redefining of what Batman is? With the Failsafe story and now this, it looks like it. Until the next time. This is the second dull storyline in a row and with the yawn fest that is Detective Comics, I'm sorely in need of a Batman story I don't have to stop and count how many pages I have left to read before I can get to something more exciting.

I'm not a huge fan of Ram V, I just find his writing boring. Bought this issue though, as I was intrigued by the concept. At least in the past I've managed to finish reading an issue he had written, but not this time. I managed about half before realising I just don't care. Flat and dull writing, but at least the art was nice.

Why do I prefer the way Jon is written here to the way he's written in his own book? Same writer. Probably because his appearance here is more story driven than Mr. Taylor stopping every few panels to remind us this is not Clark. I hope this continues into Jons part 2

'A mysterious newcomer' who is outed in the first issues first few pages. For some reason I couldn't get hold of this issue without paying over the odds. Maybe thats what has swayed me but I was underwhelmed and expected so much. There was action, but not enough, and the impetus for the characters change probably means its short term. Of course Danny Rand will gain his power back eventually, b 'A mysterious newcomer' who is outed in the first issues first few pages.

Compared to the last series, this is terrible. The writing is boring and there is something not quite right about how Bryan Hitch draws Venoms face and especially his mouth. The new villain has the personality of a raisin. I've given it 5 issues in the hope of some improvement somewhere, but that's enough.

This was just a fun book, nothing too heavy, No identity politics (how did that slip by DC?), crazy characters, appearances by Gothams more well known characters and an ending that will definitely have me coming back to see what happens next.

Poor writing and static art. The whole issue was just dull and boring. I stopped about 3/4 of the way through to see how many pages I had to read to finish the issue. So many great characters that could have been used and the focus was on 'teen lantern' and a meeting ripped from Star Wars' Galactic Senate. How exciting.
