I'm sticking with uplifting Superman stories. (Not that all Superman stories are uplifting.) Personal taste.Parental care is way exhausting. Gained insight into what my parents went through when I was a baby. Not fun, but what ya gonna do? (Read comics, obviously.)

God, the usual King tics...
The whole "fix" theme gets repeated so many times that it makes the whole narration pretty unnatural and obnoxious. Even if we try to ignore that, the rest of the dialogue can also sound pretty awkward at times.
Consistent work from Finch though.Last edited by Rakzo; 08-03-2016 at 05:18 AM.

Not keen on this. THAT moment in All-Star Superman is so powerful.

I don't think we've ever seen a Batman story quite like this one and I like it. King keeps giving us Batman moments, this one being him popping up right behind Sam Lane after his speech. Really interesting way to get the SS, the Wall, Sam Lane and Hugo Strange all involved in Gotham. Finch continues his great work. I can't wait to see what happens next which is always a good sign

Man the story of the Gotham siblings is turning out to be pretty heart breaking. Poor kids. Looks like Gotham will either be dead or incarcerated at the end of this, but I hope things start looking up for his sister.
The Wall was such a hardass. I loved it.

Nothing's changed. It's still good, but not amazing. I won't make a final judgement till the arc is wrapped up though.
But Duke in this issue is 90s Tim Drake. No distinction, at all. Swap the characters and every line still fits.
