The story feels like it was fed into some sort of A.I. The art is sloppy and swings between looking unfinished and looking extremely amateur. Future State: Gotham #15 suffers from many of the same issues that previous installments have, though somehow they all seem distilled here. COLOR SCRIPT STUDIO GHIBLI SERIESRating: 1.5 out of 5 FUTURE STATE: GOTHAM #15įuture State: Gotham continues to disappoint, which is really sad considering that the creative team is certainly capable of better work – and there are even moments within this very series that prove that. But if you're tired of the glorification of "just wars," instead of acknowledging that war is nothing but a repressive tool that churns through innocent lives and sullies the morals of anyone it touches, you're probably not going to like watching Jon Kent grow up to join the war effort. If you like King's commentary on wartime framed through superheroes, then this comic will definitely be your speed. Ultimately, your enjoyment of Dark Crisis: World Without a Justice League – Superman #1 will be dependent on your feelings of past Tom King comics. Rating: 3.5 out of 5 DARK CRISIS: WORLDS WITHOUT A JUSTICE LEAGUE – SUPERMAN #1 The classic detective feel of "On His Worst Nights" is a nice way to cap the issue, and while I wouldn't say any of these are must-reads, any Batman fan will find something to enjoy. Even considering the past though, Mera seems a bit over the top, and Batman also seems a bit off in "Statecraft," though the Batman vs. Most of these take place in the past, so at times the characterization of certain characters seems off compared to who they are now. Melnikov and Hanna's stylized combination is a perfect fit for DC's Speedster, while Acuna and Guimaraes brilliantly bring the depths of the sea to life. The sheer variety is one of the issue's biggest draws, though "Cold Shoulders" by Ryan Cady, Gleb Melnikov, Scott Hanna, Luis Guerrero, and Troy Peteri and "The Sea Beyond" by Joey Esposito, Serg Acuna, Alex Guimaraes, and Pat Brosseau were my favorites of the four. Rating: 4 out of 5 BATMAN: URBAN LEGENDS #17īatman: Urban Legends #17 takes a break from the longer narratives of the past several issues and uses three of its four stories to instead spin fun one-shot team-ups. A very fun and solid issue of the series that wraps up a few more plot threads from the initial frantic debut of the series. Nightwing provides some extra muscle for the Batgirls' current operation, all the while delightfully not taking the lead or pushing focus away from his beau and her friends. I am a sucker for Batgirl/Nightwing stories, and I suspect that a lot of other folks will enjoy this Nightwing story.
