Action packed, and good art. Theplot explodes pretty much here. I'm not sure how it's goanna continue, but it should be interesting!
This was epic.As Ulysses unleashes his final assault controlling the Colony and whatever he had planned with hacking into their systems and using Brother Eye and OMAC and the way he gets Tim into it..its the Gotham Knights vs these things for one final mission. Who will win? Who will lose?Its a great volume and marks an end to one of the best runs in comics and I loved it for the most part. Good stuff. I like the ending even though they dismantled but they gave characters some great ending and n...
Batman Detective Comics by James Tynion is solid. There’s a lot of good stuff in here. Tim and Batwoman are great. It also has one of my favorite Batman moments in the last issue concerning his death.Continuing from last volume Batwoman is on trial for killing Clay Face. So the main Bat Family has a sit down to discuss.Orphan is still dealing with the loss of Clay Face, Batwoman is contemplating a new position and Batwing and Jean Paul Valley we just kinda there.The paneling is great ideally but...
A great ending to a great run. The story builds off previous volumes as the Gotham Knights must band together one more time to stop their future from happening. Ulysses Armstrong has gotten his hands on future Tim Drake's technology and activates Brother Eye There's a lot of great character moments here. I also look forward to the new directions Tynion sends the cast off on. The art is full of the regular rotation of outstanding artists, Javier Fernandez, Alvaro Martinez, Eddy Barrows.
Basic Plot: The aftermath of future Tim Drake's trip to the present culminates in the activation of Brother Eye and some major revelations and changes for the bat family.The culmination of this arc was very satisfying and tied together several previous arcs very nicely. Future Detective Comics books are going to look very different as a result of these events. I have really enjoyed this overall run of the book. The art in this volume was really taken up a notch in my estimation. High quality, wi...
[Read as single issues]All good things must come to an end, and James Tynion IV’s Detective Comics run is no different. But before he goes, he’s going to tear down everything he’s built as the Gotham Knights face one final battle together, as Ulysses Armstrong goes rogue and targets Tim Drake for extermination. And to make matters worse, Armstrong has help in the form of Brother Eye – and where he goes, OMACs are sure to follow!After Fall Of The Batmen, you’d think there wouldn’t be any lower fo...
I like this volume more than I think I would! Nice job Mr. Tynion IV! But it is the last book he wrote for the Detective Comics series!?Premise: Batwoman's action from the previous volume cracked open a large gap among the Gotham Knights, whilst Tim Drake tried his hardest to avoid the grim future he had seen for himself and his friends, but would their efforts be enough to save everyone?I honestly am not a huge fan of this 'saving the future' thingy although I like the 'A Lonely Place of Living...
This was a goodbye to James Tynion (as far as I know) for Detective comics. Does it wrap up well? This, once more, deals with multiple character storylines. You have Tim dealing with his worrying-self, you have Bruce dealing with the fallout of Bat-woman, and you have Cass trying to find herself and understand what she's doing. This is the end of the Batmen (and women) but they won't go out with a whimper as the future comes to strike them! Good: I really like character moments here. The highlig...
This book has seven issues. The first issue is the Trial of Batwoman and it deals with the aftermath of the last story and what the Batfamily is going to do about Batwoman's killing in the last volume. The idea of the trial that Batman wants to hear from his "family," the people he trusts is a great idea and each brings an interesting perspective that I can totally believe, although its Batgirl who really has the most important insight. (As an aside, it's a shame that Batgirl's not being written...
Not nearly enough Batman for a Batman title.
[ Review of volumes 1-7 ]It deserves to be shouted from rooftops: James Tynion IV's run on Detective Comics is AMAZING.The whole storyline is wonderfully compelling (with more than a few outstanding issues), the art is steadily great, and I really enjoy how the characters are written, analysed, explored, paired with one another and pitted against each other.More than being just a superhero/sci-fi title, Detective Comics is a study in relationships and the effort they take, and I love it to piece...
I have really enjoyed the Tynion run on this series.
You can find my review on my blog by clicking here.With this story arc, writer James Tynion IV says goodbye to the series that he has been leading from the beginning of the Rebirth era of DC Comics. Parallelly to writer Tom King’s canonical Batman series, James Tynion IV completed some great stories for fans to indulge, focusing mostly on building a team of heroes and in bringing the series to focus on multiple characters and their dynamic together. With countless mysteries at the center of each...
This started out very strong. I've read some mixed reception on Twitter over Kate's storyline. I'll admit, I'd only read one other book starring her before I read this one. In accordance with Tynion's view of Kate, I think her actions in vol. 6 made sense. Kate has always been willing to make the hard choices if she thinks there's no other viable alternative. This book did a pretty good job of going over how Kate dealt with her guilt. She's sorry for the pain she caused Cass but she doesn't regr...
Spoiler/Stephanie: "You wanted to hurt me by showing me what another version of myself pulled off? Are you kidding me? Everything I've gone through in the last year... But to know that somewhere out there... I was good enough to be Robin? To be Batgirl? The only thing you just told me is that no matter what timeline I'm in, I'm freaking amazing." - Stephanie Brown, spitting truthsWhy is it that all of the best Rebirth comics are the ones that I didn't buy? I ordered the first volume of this seri...
Well, ok. This is the definition of a "mixed bag." I want to give it four stars for the character moments, I want to give it two stars for the abandonment of logic and unsatisfying resolution. For as much as I've enjoyed Tynion's run and its fast but patient storytelling, this volume seemed to hurry to the end and left me feeling a little robbed of a conclusion befitting of the previous six volumes. I hope Tynion returns to Detective Comics one day, because I don't want this to be the way he goe...
This series lost its way which is quite evident in the seventh installment. MY GRADE: C.
Tim Drake has always been my favorite Robin. Where Dick seems like an idea of a sidekick more than a person, and Jason Todd is more of a reflection of the 80's and 90's (dark and extreme!), Tim has always seemed the most real to me. He's just a super smart dude that wants to try and be good and do his best. And lately, as James Tynion explores the "Knights" team of this book, he has kind of taken on more of a leadership role. Which is why it was striking to see him, almost as a villain in this b...
I just didnt find the ending all that amazing. It was buidling very well and then it just didnt hit any highs. Was still enjoyable.
Wow that was good. World: The art is solid, it’s dark and gritty which this series has been from the get go, there are instances where I found the facial expressions to be a bit wooden but overall this art fits the tone of the book. This is the end of the Tynion IV run and it makes sense that much like all authors nowadays that all the pieces that they created since their run all come back to play out in the finale. All the pieces from the Belfry to Future Tim to Brother Eye and Ulysses Armstron...
