Review:
After the previous volume, I was really hyped for this one, as it was the last of Tynion’s lengthy and mostly solid run on Detective Comics.
While this started off with a bang, it fizzled out about a third of the way through and kind of went out with a whimper, focusing on a new plot thread that I didn’t find interesting, especially when the larger arc of Tynion’s complete run didn’t feel like it was properly resolved.
It’s not that this was a bad story, I just felt like I was left holding my dick in the cold wind on top of a mountain. I climbed all the way to the summit and there was nothing there to greet me. No party, no fanfare, just cold wind, thin air and no sense of real reward.
Honestly, there’s not much else to say, really.
I wanted certain plot threads closed and followed up on and everything just sort of splintered off into different directions with no clear path to follow.
Rating: 6/10
Pairs well with: other collections of James Tynion IV’s run on Detective Comics.
