New 52 – Detective Comics #9 review

There are two comics taking part in the “Night of the Owls” event this week, but “Detective Comics” is the runt. An overpriced runt. Before taking my review to heart, however, let’s make sure we agree on some things:... Continue »

New 52 – Detective Comics #8 review

I’ve found “Detective Comics” to be pretty terrible since the 2nd issue. The last arc was a definite low point in which nothing made any sense or had any real impact, and Penguin (who was shown on 3 covers... Continue »

New 52 – Detective Comics #7 review

2 pages. The Penguin vs. Batman showdown advertised on every cover of this series for the past 3 issues lasted 2 pages. This is a book that wants to be priced a dollar higher next month. No. No, I... Continue »

New 52 – Detective Comics #6 review

What the heck did I just read? This is one of the most convoluted issues of any Batman title so far in the New 52 and has the 2nd worst line uttered by a character. The very worst line... Continue »

New 52 – Detective Comics #3 review

Sigh. Detective Comics #3 is that book where you have to stop, dig up the previous issue and flip around to remind yourself what the heck everybody’s talking about. Does the name Wesley Mathis ring any bells for you?... Continue »

New 52 – Detective Comics #2 review

What makes Batman and Joker’s relationship so great is that they represent the perfect antithesis of one another. One kills, the other doesn’t. One dresses as a monster but is a hero, the other permanently looks like a clown... Continue »

New 52 – Detective Comics #1 review

It was hard for me to decide whether or not to give this book a 7 or an 8. It’s easily Tony Daniel’s best written Batman book, but it also feels like he’s channeling Frank Miller too much. Also,... Continue »
