Stephanie Brown made it clear two weeks ago that she doesn’t think Batman’s war is making the world a better place, and this week, she did something about it in the pages of Detective Comics #947. I’m curious to know what the rest of you thought about the conclusion to “The Victim Syndicate.”
A number of other series wrapped up arcs, and DKIII #7 finally shipped after numerous delays. Titans was very sweet, and outside Gotham (and current continuity), the first book of Supergirl: Being Super was a clinic in organic dialogue and character-building. What were your highlights?
All-Star Batman #5

It’s when things slow down and we’re supposed to be invested in more intimate moments that things don’t work the way they should.

Batgirl #6

Hope Larson demonstrates that she can write a tight complex one-shot using lots of go-to comic tropes without completely rehashing tired scenarios.

Batman, Vol. 7: Endgame

The emotional weight of Bruce’s struggle provides a lot of momentum, but even that weight has trouble getting traction once you slow down and think about some of the details.

Batman Beyond #3

Compared to the momentum Jurgens and Chang had, it’s hard to look at the current arc as anything other than a work in progress.

Dark Knight III: The Master Race #7

It may not be necessary, this series may be a cash grab, but this issue is at least worth reading.

Detective Comics #947

Tynion is so amazingly gifted at simply letting these characters speak in their own voices that you’re practically begging for issues like this to come around so he can just do his thing.

Harley’s Little Black Book #5

Yes, lots of suspension of disbelief is required, but right now, as grim as 2016 seems to be going out, it’s nice to have something light and fluffy and fun to close out the year.

Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #2

With a few exceptions, the dialogue this week is an utter waste of letterer Rob Leigh’s time and talent.

Mother Panic #2

This issue slows the narrative down a little to focus a little more on character work, but also manages to create new mysteries and questions while answering a few as well.

Super Powers #2

Baltazar and Franco know how to write stories that are engaging for all ages, and this is no exception.

Teen Titans #3

So the plot has its weaknesses, and the artwork has trouble once the story gets more intimate, but it still largely works.

Titans #6

he character work, action, and plot finally feel natural and honest, while the set-up for future plots has my incredibly giddy!
