Probably closer to 3.5 stars for an exciting, universe-wide event slightly marred by uneven stories. It is a very long collection, bringing together thirteen stories spanning one very long night. (And one from the past, because we need to get Jonah Hex in here somehow.) The big three, Batman, Nightw...
I really wish I could rate this higher. But sadly, outside of the fact that Guy Gardner is written almost perfectly, there are just some real holes in the story that led to it being really entertaining to me instead of really awesome. Red Lantern Guy Gardner is always going to be a bright spot for m...
Possibly what stood out to me most about this collection is what a huge step backwards the character of Damian has taken. He'd made a lot of progress when Dick was Batman, and now he's back right where he started. I can, however, buy this, sort of. He thought his father was dead, and now he's not, a...
I liked this a lot, seems like it will reside in a somewhat darker realm... Hope the rest continue the rise of how good these got. This is a close non 5-star, but hey whatever it's Batman and I loved it regardless.
Review originally posted here.Why I Read It: My quest to read at least the first volume of every New 52 title (whether I actually do that or not is a different story..) Also: I love me some Batman. Spoiler-free review ahead.The tally for the New 52 Batman titles is now 2-1 for me. The Court of Owls ...
Sad to say for anyone reading this post this will not be a rant. And I will not resort to smashing anything and then smashing it again out of loathing for this conclusion. The conclusion was highly satisfactory and much better than the second 'bridging' volume.If you end up reading the Brightest D...
I recently came to the conclusion (oddly enough while reading Genre) that I read very much within genres. That is to say that when I read a book something in me subconsciously classes it into a type of book. That is not to say that I don't accept the shifting nature of such genres it is simply that ...
I have quite mixed feelings about how Brightest Day resolved itself. On the one hand, the end result the resurrection of Swamp Thing was fantastic and well worth the wait. The characters who had been starring in the series all along ended up being pawns to bring about that specific result, some of t...
Blackest Night was fantastic. One of the best crossover events to come out of DC. And Brightest Day is every bit as good, both as a crossover event and as a follow up to Blackest Night. Make no mistake, this is essentially a direct sequel, and going into this without having read Blackest Night is a ...
