DC Comics Detective Comics #947 By Avi Weinryb January 2, 2017 - 01:29 Publisher(s): DC Comics Writer(s): James Tynion IV Penciller(s): Alvaro Martinez Inker(s): Raul Fernandez Colourist(s): Brad Anderson Letterer(s): Marilyn Patrizio Cover Artist(s): Jay Fabok & Brad Anderson; Variant by Rafael Albuquerque In the final entry in the “Victim Syndicate” story arc, a confrontation with the baddies take a dramatic turn when Stephanie Brown / Spoiler betrays her fellow Bat crew members, preventing them from taking down the folks who have been causing trouble these past several issues. It’s a stunning reversal for the stalwart member of the Bat family. Her demands are great and the stakes are greater. What will happen next? This issue brings a hit-or-miss storyline to a strong conclusion. The pacing does not let up and the dialogue is engaging. Spoiler’s unexpected actions create a lot of anxiety for the Bat-team and this conflict will fuel much of what is to follow. A transformative script helps further complicate life in Gotham and this is always a good thing. Unlike previous entries in the story arc, this issue contains consistent artwork throughout, all by the same team. This offers a level of cohesiveness that was sorely missing. Most likenesses are crisp and action poses are generally quite proficient. The pages flow nicely, and characters like Spoiler are especially dynamic. It’s a pleasant read. © Copyright 2002-2020 by Toon Doctor Inc. - All rights Reserved. All other texts, images, characters and trademarks are copyright their respective owners.
