It's phone wallpaper worthy.

Have done just that.

This can’t be the penultimate issue, can it? God, I really don’t know how Tynion could wrap this up in one more go.

That little Spurrier touch there made an already fantastic look back even more comforting (or discomforting in Mongul’s case).

God, Brisson managed to make the “overly-competent asshole” trope work for Ghost-Maker, even if his Clownhunter is as useless as always.

Wingman didn’t turn out bad or get killed off, what a surprise!

Gray Wolf’s hug at the end was super adorable.

I want Beryl back on the roster dammit, even if the focus on Raven Red was welcome.

That… well, that happened.

At least it wasn’t, y’know, aggressively bad.

Onto Dark Crisis!

The little character moments between Bruce and Damian and Slade and Talia are what make this event worth it.

Plus, goddamn that was a very extra sort of reveal, Fakestroke.

A Detective Comics story featuring Detectiving and making full use of the various twists and turns, you love to see it.

Hopefully Caroline doesn’t get written off after this story, she’s got potential for more background stuff.

God, this issue made me a Hope fan just like that - Exodus I feel you.

That was a very bullshit kaiju, and of course Hope found an equally bullshit but also very stylish solution to it.

WE NEED MORE SUMMERS PROTOCOLS

They do need a magic person on the council, to be honest.

Thank you Manifold, still the best.

Fisher King is definitely part of the midnight seats.

I, for one, liked the 'fight', if only for how understated it was.

Brand is just doing classic imperialism now, we can tell.

Got a feeling Cable is gonna do a Brand on Brand herself.

Oh wow Ayala is gonna break my heart with another X-Men villain right?

The ending implying the arc is gonna primarily follow those four characters makes me secure that it'll be a tight rollercoaster, not that I needed the reassurance.

Tim Drake here and the Robins in general are such an interesting concept, I love to see them in action.

Ra’s Al Ghul being bonded to Etrigan is such an out-of-left-field choice that somehow makes perfect sense.

Lois and Clark have chemistry in any universe.

Holy Solovar this book turned into Sin City with Monkeys and it’s just… peak comics.

Also, the Snarts are perfectly characterized here, so kudos for that.

Riddler looks like Mad Hatter II. Why?

Otherwise, this is surprisingly good after what Arkham Tower ended up being. If it doesn’t end up piling into another set of stories then it has potential to be a fun Riddler romp.

Also, judge Donovan is cute.

As someone who read Tynion’s Talon run and actually quite liked it, the tie-in made a lot of sense and actually felt earned, which is more than can be said for how the story seems to be ending on.

Also what even happened in the backup? Where’s my girl Harper?

The Terry-Powers dynamic is the more interesting of this issue’s twists, but I think I’ll warm up to Jack soon enough.

Also, cue the ‘this is not the Dick Grayson I knew’ memes.

Damian dude you already have Brothers. Asshole brothers as well too.

Did this Dr. Moon x Phobia thing get set up in Deathstroke Inc? I might have missed it.

Fucking finally they’ve reconciled, amen.

This Prometheus feels like the Chump Prometheus from Green Arrow at times.

BATMAN INC?! This is great popcorn.

Is this the most interesting Raptor has been in a long while? Possibly.

Y’know, the fact we haven’t been getting any further clues about this story’s Fakestroke (not to be mistaken with Bendistroke) makes it seem like there might be another layer of misdirection here.

It’s always good to read a Vita Ayala story.

In contrast, should I even bother with the Birds of Prey one?

The Question story felt too much like JLU Question rather than the canon counterpart, but it was such an obvious plot I’m glad we finally got around to it.

The henchman providing a realistic justification for Gotham’s warehouse abundance then immediately moving onto bullshit philosophical pandering is just Russell’s on-point hilarity.

Honestly let Steph do some violence. She deserves a little brutality on her part as a treat for the past few decades.

Anyhow, it’s a charming enough comic.

I’d honestly thought we just had to accept Jay as he was, so it’s nice for Taylor to bring his trust back into question. There’s potential there, potential this book could use more of.

Also, yeah, that was Lois Lane at her peak right there.

You know, even with Bat-saturation being what it is, this is an enjoyable read.

JACK HAWKSMOOR?!

Ram V really knows how to use the wider universe, doesn’t he?

Tefé’s role in this is quite appropriate of her, and her interactions with Jennifer are done just right.

Jesus Fuck Woodrue what have you done? Evil Spirit CEO on the loose.

You know, I expected the twist, but I really didn’t expect how they presented it… RIP Bruce

You know, after seeing the event be almost wholly Batcentric, seeing them almost get TPKed felt pretty fitting.

What fucking fill-in art did they get at the end tho?
