Marcio Takara continues to impress - with stunning fight sequences that are emotionally powerful as well as excessively visceral. There is a grit and beauty here that is simply sublime. And a double-page horizontal layout works wonders.
James Tynion IV has been setting the bar high and this issue may not be as strong as most but still allows Detective Comics to maintain its reputation as one of the better superhero comics on the shelves these days. And with the way this issue concludes, it’s clear the next round is going to be a doozy. Stay tuned to the same bat time, same bat channel.
