Well that's it for me, guess I'm dropping this title. Scott Synder is moving like a bulldozer, rewriting Batman like a horror show. And yes, there is supposed to be some reinvention with the absolute titles but to me he goes way too far...and nowhere interesting. I was curious about what he would make of Batman's rogue gallery and now that I've seen their treatment without any ounce of finesse, thanks but no thanks. It's a shame because I was quite into Nick Dragotta's art. The worst Batman story along with Hush#2 nowadays, by a long mile...

What a good idea to waste some talented artists for a quick cash grab !!!! Did I say talents ? Maybe that's pushing it in the case of Frank Miller whom I would call aa formerly talented artist. His Batman vs Wolverine might be the worst thing I've read in a while. Good parts ? Well I guess the Krypto vs Jeff was cute, Adam Kubert did a good job on Green Arrow vs DD and The Rocket Racoon/ GL story was fun, thanks to Al Ewing. But really nothing to recommend wholeheartedly.

Here we go with Snyder's favorite immortal uber-Joker again... with an end twist that could be interesting, but I really don't think this series can become exciting anymore.

It was really an average run at best. The visuals were good, but every human is flawed, and Chip Zdarsky is too, case in point with this lukerwarm final issue that had me rolling my eyes at several moments.

A disappointing issue. Nothing really happens and it feels like a rip-off from Marvel selling us two first issues instead of one. The final "reveal" is not a surprise to anyone, the art is good overall but sometimes a bit cartoony. Of course, Aaron is used to build things for the long run, but with this one he's really testing our patience.

A mixed bag. The parts by Aaron and Leonardo Romero were excellent, introducing new intriguing players that will probably show up in the coming "Doctor Strange" issues. The rest, without being bad, felt a bit dull.

Not a bad issue but I'm seriously considering stopping buying the series at this point. Fiona Staples' art is still something to behold but Vaughan's writing seems to me a bit lazy and repetitive.

Well it's not bad int itself but a retrospective view of Superman's life is not what I was hoping for. Guess I'll have to wait for the next issue to really get into the story...

A fun start to the series, although it feels a bit light and introductory. It's a good thing the next issue comes out only in two weeks.

I would have liked to love this one more. The art was good all through and Jason Aaron's script is competent, though nowhere near the level of what he's doing on Thor. Truth be told, this comic lacks a bit of focus and sometimes feels like a series of previews, without the coherence of what made DC Rebirth#1 a great reading.

An intriguing reinvention of the Green Lantern series and some of its core characters. Even if some elements have been spoiled by previews, it feels promising !

This is more like it ! After a disappointing second issue (or was that issue 1 part 2?) there was much more content to enjoy in this one. The meddling of the everpresent Loki is fully justified with an insightful exchange between him and one of the Avengers. Entertaining with good character writing and a few surprises along the way. Can't wait for the return of the prehistoric Avengers!

And that's how it's done ! While Marvel's issue of the crossover was a big fail, DC's offering is much better. In the main story, we get the long-awaited reteaming of the creators of Klaus. Though it's not on par with their previous work, Morrison goes adequately bonkers with the story and Dan Mora's art is brimming with details. I'm not sure I got everything but it kept me immmersed and interested. But the high points of this issue are clearly for me the second and the third stories. Hayden Sherman gives his best illustrating a meeting between Constantine and Doctor Strange plotted by 3 big guns, Snyder, Tynion IV and Williamson. The result is intelligent and true to the 2 characters. And Tom Taylor offers a heartwarming tale with 2 heroes he's well-acquainted with, Nightwing and Laura Kinney, with exquiste artwork by Bruno Redondo. Who cares that the 2 other shorter stories are just meh, this is an easy win for DC Comics !!!

A solid first issue with a cliffhanger that leaves you wanting more.

Jason Aaron may have left, but Gene Luen Yang offers us a good jumping-on point with the Turtles working together at last and a worthwhile adversary. I'm definitely in, can't wait for the next issue !

I get that people can be shocked by the weird final twist of the issue. As for me I'm just hooked by this series as I was by "Captain America : Sam Wilson". Both feel to me like a fresh take on the Captain universe mythology so as long as Spencer is at the helm of both of them count me in!

Zdarsky's writing is solid as usual, but it's Carlos Magno that gets a chance to shine in some impressive splash pages for this fitting finale.
