I took it as the "replaced†friends returning. So the Hand grabbed them, shoved them in hell, and assumed their forms/lives on earth. Matt just released these people. At least, that's how it made sense to me.

REUNITING THE ACCLAIMED TEAM OF MARK WAID AND CHRIS SAMNEE! While Bruce Wayne adjusts to the realities of adopting orphan Dick Grayson, a mysterious new crime boss called the General has come to Gotham to claim the city by disrupting and destroying its other mobs.

Pure joy. That's what this book is. Comic book magic brought by two masters of the craft. Samnee's trademark dynamic flair of pop energy and Waid's dialogue and understanding of these characters and the genre at a fundamental level make this story already one of the most enjoyable Batman comics I have read in a long time. They are the real Dynamic Duo here. As it's been the case in World's Fines more

this was really solid issue right now. I wish Carol Ferris was written as more experienced but so far the story is engaging.

Art 10, Story 0.
I have sadly watched this arc go further and further off the rails, and into pseudo-Christian nonsense, and now it's descended into complete incomprehensibility. Not to mention that several dead and buried friends of Matt suddenly reappear on Earth, bodies intact, just taking a marked path back to the land of the living. And Matt single-handedly, even without a corporeal bod

DAREDEVIL IN HELL! Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto are on the last leg of their tour de force through Matt Murdock's life...and afterlife.
Rated T+
C02 is correct. You need to do a second read through TC. Everything that's happening has been explained. Theres a portal to the underwold that matt entered into and thats what he sends them through
This feels like the culmination not just of Zdarsky's run, but of every Daredevil story ever told. As always, Checchetto makes the action feel epic-there's no other word for it-and it's all backed up by an emotional gut punch. I'm sad that this creative team only has one more issue, but at the same time I'm glad that they were able to end their story so perfectly.
I'm still a little per

I hope The Wild was behind or manipulating Goldy because I also haven't liked that aspect of this second half.

How becoming of you, Dick Grayson. Literally.
Nightwing #105 is a unique issue that puts the reader in the mind of Dick Grayson as he takes on a new case in Blüdhaven. You are literally in the mind of Dick Grayson - the entire issue is from his POV! Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo have done it again with a profoundly different approach to how we experience comics (the entirety of Nightwin

That's what was missing! We should have had a running flow of Dick's thoughts if we're him for the issue. We barely had any thought boxes, which honestly has been a complaint of mine for a while on this series, but stands out a lot in a first person perspective.
Green Lantern #2
Hal Jordan's homecoming is off to a rocky start! Carol Ferris is this close to firing him from the job he's only just begged his way into, his power ring isn't exactly working right, and off in the shadows, Sinestro, the architect of Hal's current crisis, is waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Plus, the hard-hitting John Stewart: War Journal ...
this was a downright bad problem. Sorry, I don't want to be a hater, but there's a big problem here, jeremy addams writes Hal as a really stupid guy. this problem is basically Hal doing awkward things to win back a person who already has a partner and another life. I didn't like his behavior at all, except for the first scene, and it's basically the base of the number

I took him getting a job more as he's stuck on Earth after quitting to GLC and needs money, not that he's specifically trying to maintain a secret identity.
Could be, so fair enough. But I still maintain that the whole going back to Ferris Air is just silly. I think Jusonemore gets it right. But I could be wrong. And let's face it, Hal know a lot of people like Bruce Wayne, who can get him gainful employment without Hal being creepy around ex-girlfriend.
I'm tired of Hal being a 40 years old child

Yeah, I feel like Hal did show growth across Johns' run and Venditti's HJGLC. We saw Hal deal with seeing Carol in serious relationships (she was even married when he came back to life), then they move into a close friendship, then back to a romantic couple (well after her divorce). Hal has gained maturity. He's situated to be able to have a more stable hero life - we've got lots of GLs. I hope the run gives him and Carol development toward The End. The immaturity cycle is what feels forced.
Yeah, totally. What I like about Hal is that he seems like an inmature character, and sometimes he is, but he always ends Up behaving like a Hero and an adult Who knows how yo deal with the weight he has. Here we simply see that inmaturity multiplied, and nothing more. Its still soon so i hope It gets better.

Green Arrow #2
Green Arrow is alive...but where the hell is he?! That's what Roy Harper and Black Canary want to know, and their search takes them into the bowels of Belle Reve. But they'd better hurry-the stranded Oliver Queen and another lost member of the Green Arrow family are both being hunted by a brand-new villain called...Troublemaker.
This isnt so much a knock against this issue, but more of what this run has become. As many have previous mentioned, it is all empty calories. Is Nightwing great? Yes. Is he a good guy? Yes. Does this book have any tension? No. The entire plot of "would nightwing send a little innocent girl to hell for some powers" is so dumb considering how he has for like 20 issues, constantly told us how great more

Yeah, I thought this issue was going to have Dick pretend to want the powers to trick Neron or something. The lack of stakes, urgency, real temptation, etc. really hurt this issue. I think the imp issue even had more weight and dynamic fighting than this one.

Nightwing #102
Nightwing is a great leader, not just because Batman trained him, or because of how Alfred raised him, or even because he has a heart of gold-it's because of his friends, and now that the Titans are in Blüdhaven with him, they can leap into the light together...which is perfect timing for the demon of darkness Neron to do something about it.
