WhistleBlower's Profile

Powerful, tense, and full of action. Feels very much like Batman to the core, while still fresh at the same time. An issue that seems to have gone over quite a few people's heads.

lol people are butthurt over the "Truth, tolerance, and justice" line. There perpetually outraged strike again.

One of the best stories to come out of the Big 2 in years. It's smart, heavy, and doesn't hold the reader's hand, instead letting them project their own interpretations and ideals onto the characters.

Great way to humanize these villainous title characters. Lots of tension built up. The world feels even bigger now.

This was mediocre, but 10 because it pisses off the JK Rowling simp.

From the same writer of Prez, Flintstones turns its premise on its head and becomes a sharp satire on the failings of modern society. A must-read.

Deep, thoughtful, and introspective examination of DC's history. Racists are apparently mad that the writer is black. A shame.

Completely different from what you'd expect from a Marvel book. It starts off with a creepy suburban atmosphere where you know straight off the bat that something's wrong, and it pays off at the end. The most promising ANAD book so far.

A rather introspective and self-aware issue that questions the value of fleeting tranquility, before racing towards an exciting climax. While this story arc has had a few lulls, there's no doubt that Snyder has managed execute a strong and character-driven story arc out of a status quo that had some shaking their heads.

It's sad that Red Hood fanboys are still harassing and trying to cancel Chip Zdarsky over Urban Legends. I know some of them got banned from this site for unspeakable and perverted things.

Very smart, well-drawn issue that serves as both a character study and an examination of how the legal system works with Batman.

Smart narrative about morality and revenge that cohesively weaves itself through multiple timelines without missing a beat. If you want a story that holds your hand and treats you like an idiot, I'm sure there are other books out there.

A very grounded and personal story that takes its time to re-unite the old and the new, while also delivering a metanarrative that reminds readers why they loved superhero comics in the first place.

Excellent issue that brings in Jim Gordon's skills as a detective and experience as a father to light. A great little two-part filler arc that does exactly what it needs to do.

One of the best issues yet. Maps meets a Robin, and is enthralled with a story about the first. Some major plot development, too.

Fantastic character work and world building here. Looks to be one of the best books of Rebirth hands down.

Scott Lobdell fans are LIVID lmao Edit: decided to raise it half a point just to trigger them some more

LOL the guy with a hardon for pedo-bait writer Scott Lobdell is blocking everyone who has a reasonable opinion. Just as bad as the anti-vaxxer.

Wow, the pedophile with the alts is really offended over "Happy Holidays", huh? What a thin-skinned snowflake.

This is going to make people soooo mad.

Thoroughly entertaining, with a nice share of satire that sometimes hits a bit close to home.

Strong issue that fleshes out all of the different characters that will be involved in the Robin War. Some (like Tim and Jason) are better here than in their own series. Duke makes for a strong and relatable protagonist. It's a considerable step up from Batman and Robin Eternal.

LMAO the Biden Derangement Syndrome is real

Imagine if Spencer's ASM was even a fraction as good as this.

Possibly the best comic DC is putting out right now, now that Hellblazer is over.

LOL they straight up called out Deathstroke for being a pedophile. The Comicsgaters are gonna be maaaaad.

This series explores how different perceptions and opinions may form. Too bad idiots are review bombing it because they can't handle a different opinion.

The usual chuds are going to be outraged over this being "political", just like they did with Hellblazer. Glad Spurrier is telling them to fuck off.

Very strong issue that moves multiple plots forward. Gordon gets some very nice moments, and the other storylines begin to come together nicely. There's an interesting cliffhanger there as well.

It's a very emotionally heavy issue. The glimpses of future (or Elseworld) Batmans play nicely with the present-day story, and Snyder unexpectedly brings in a Chekov's gun to complete the arc for some meaningful closure.

Deals with the emotional impact from the previous issue, while setting up the greater plot. Lots of intrigue, and little nods to classic Batman stories.

Provides a great deal of backstory and character depth to the Gothams, while still moving the plot brusquely along with minimal handholding. Easily among the best Rebirth books.

Excellent self-reflective issue. People need to learn about how jury trials work.

lol the anti-vaxxer is triggered

Need more Batman comics from these excellent creative teams.

A good thematical setup for what should be another memorable Batman saga. Great use of visuals to convey the changing of the seasons. Duke should make a fine sidekick, as King has a great handle on his character, as seen in Robin War. Probably the best of the Rebirth issues.

A smart and realistic Batman book that actually explores the details of its world. It's what Batman Earth One would be if it were written by someone competent.

It's sad that this is ending so soon, but there are some really great plot developments in this issue, and it looks like it's heading towards proper closure.

Excellent writing debut for Cliff Chiang. Already better than all those shitty 2000s writers that people on this site slurp off.

I can't imagine the lengths of self-oppression one has to go through to be offended by the slightest hint of political themes.

LOL bootlickers are so mad

Fun political satire.

Smart issue full of intrigue and espionage.

Forget the god awful Deathstroke runs of the past. This is a deep and challenging book that examines the morally gray role of a self-serving mercenary in a world torn by political conflicts. This is DC's top anti-hero book by far.

Solid writing and characterization all around. Tomasi really knows how to make his characters come across as real people. A great Jim Gordon story.

Strong showings from Warren Ellis, Scott Snyder, Paul Dini, and James Tynion. Worst of the bunch is either Kevin Smith's or Geoff Johns's stories.

Best issue of Detective Comics yet.

It's a good comic, which means that pedophile-supporter Ethan Van Sciver is blubbering into a webcam somewhere.

Mainly a setup issue, but there's a lot of spywork being done, and several plot threads being lined up against each other.

Another excellent issue that examines what it truly means to be Robin, and what Dick Grayson is willing to do to keep everyone safe. Each of the Robins is written very well, and gets time to show off who they truly are beyond a single dimension.

More interesting than the event itself, and the best "Justice League" issue of Rebirth.

Powerful issue that goes deep into what makes Hal Jordan tick, explores his drive and his flaws, and ultimately reconstructs him as a truly likeable hero in spite of everything.

Interesting twist that really solidifies that central message of this series so far: that Midnighter knows everything there is about fighting villains, but is weak and vulnerable as a human being.

Explosive finale with a few interesting developments. Still very character-rich.

What are the Twitter incels outraged over this time? Something about this being offensive to rich people?

Easily the better issue between the two Batbooks this week. Makes a clean transition between Grayson and Nightwing, while injecting the book full of heart, and keeping readers' interests.

LMAO the bootlicker is ass-blasted

It's a clever way to tie the Secret Six to the supernatural side of the DCU. There's a lot to look forward to here.

It's a shame that the Amazing Spider-Man will never be half as good as Zdarsky's Spider-Man. Spencer fans be mad

A fun and heartwarming goodbye issue. Excellent portrayal of Starfire all in all.

At its core, this book is slapstick comedy stuffed with visual gags and the occasional sci-fi action, but there's a surprising layer of maturity underneath. What seems like an obvious setup for a love triangle sidesteps the cliched drama, and all characters come out for the better. Differences between the characters' motivations are conveyed clearly without being too heavyhanded.

The bootlicker is going to be ass-blasted over this.

Feels like a proper Superman title.

A fulfilling comic with a ton of story packed into 20 pages, and plenty of surprises. Art is very clean, and despite having so many panels, the storytelling does its job very well.

Who are the idiots calling Ram V "green"? The man's been dishing out instant classics for years now.

Holy shit, are people ass-blasted at the slightest hint of any theme. This is what happens when you get all your political opinions from child-molesting Youtubers.

Consumerism hits bedrock. This is one of DC's best books, and is up there with Superwoman for book of the week.

"Wahhh I want muh Joker!"

Idiots who are bawling their eyes out over not getting enough Joker wank are pathetic. Edit: lol here comes my mentally deranged stalker who is obsessed with me.

It's an origin story that's been told before, but the setting, characterization, and execution are done so masterfully.

Decompressed as it may be, there's a lot of character and thematic depth being explored here and Rucka makes each panel worth it. There's more substance in each issue here than there is in many other "quick read" books, like Suicide Squad or Red Hood or Justice League.

Great character-driven issue that lets the readers get to know Barbara Ann.

Strongest start to a Batgirl book post-Flashpoint so far.

I wonder if that terminally online "professional" reviewer is going to get butthurt at everyone who disagrees with him again.

LMFAO the pedophile is butthurt at me again. I must be living in his head rent-free.

Great and incredibly creative use of AUs. I'm sure the usual outrage crowd is still ass-blasted over the "Truth, Tolerance, and Justice" line.

Really good character interactions all around, better than the first issue. Flashback sequence was really good, too.

lol Red Hood fans are SALTY AS HELL over at CBR. They want their Mary Sue back. edit: lol my stalker is back

What is the bootlicker butthurt over this time?

lol the guy who simps for Scott Lobdell and his pedobait is crying about people having different opinions. This is what being an anti-vaxxer does to you, kids.

Kevin Conroy's story alone is better than all the nostalgia pandering crap that DC publishes from over-the-hill writers that peaked a decade ago

Anti-vaxxers getting ass-blasted over this is the funniest thing yet, and actually improves the reading experience.

Good back-to-basics street level mystery.

Rushed, but ultimately a decent ending that ties previous threads together.

Strong start for an event, with a healthy amount of worldbuilding.

Better than the current Justice League, and Injustice, and all that crap.

Book of the week. Excellent character-driven issue that continues to explore Nightwing's psyche.

Overall, it's a strong finish, despite a few loose ends not being completely addressed. The character arcs for Duke, Damian, and Dick are done very well, with their contrasting viewpoints of what the Robin mantle mean to each character. It does feel a bit rushed at times, with not every plot point from previous issues being fully fleshed out, and the artwork is inconsistent due to all the different artists. Still, it's one of DC's better events, and certainly worth a read (tie-ins notwithstanding).

A very action-packed issue that shows Kori's more heroic side, and what she's capable of when the people close to her are in danger. "Beware the nice ones" indeed.

A fun, cute issue that finds time to amuse but also establish strong character work. There is a plot point that kind of comes out of nowhere, but the writers will presumably follow up on that.

A fun and vivid issue that successfully captures the heart of each of its characters. A real glimmer of hope for the Teen Titans franchise, and a major step-up from Percy's usual work.

Smart, engaging story. Not for those still butthurt over this not being a Joker-wank.

Shows a lot of promise and understanding of Superman. People can put their pitchforks down.

Less disjointed than the first issue. A pulpy fun mess is what it is.

A good intro with an explosive start.

Good stories from King, Snyder, and Orlando. Dini's story was a letdown.
