New 52 – Detective Comics #20 review

A fine epilogue and back-up story saved what was otherwise a disappointing climax to an 8 issue arc. After all that buildup I really felt like this story stumbled toward the finish line. Issue #20 opens with Ogilvy’s…

Detective Comics, Vol. 2: Scare Tactics review

Have you ever met someone that was incredibly attractive and seemed to embody everything you’re looking for in a person, but as soon as they opened their mouth to speak you lost all interest? That’s Detective Comics, Vol.2:…

New 52 – Detective Comics #19 review

You probably saw the $7.99 price tag and thought “I better check on the reviews first.” Well, it’s good. It’s a fun read and absolutely worth buying if you’ve been keeping up with Laymnan and Fabok’s run from…

New 52 – Detective Comics #18 review

Change is good. The first week of the month has been one of my favorite weeks for comics but one of my least favorite for Batman comics, however I think all of that is about to change. Anytime new…

Finally an issue of Detective Comics that I thoroughly enjoyed! I even thought this comic could’ve been longer. The backup by James Tynion IV and Henrik Jonsson could most definitely have been stretched into its own full length…
