Holiday kills four men this time, and someone targeted maroni's men as well.
Poison ivy shows up she has bruce enthralled.
Who is holiday is a big question still looming over this series.

The cast gets bigger

[Robert · Rating 3 out of 5]

The telling of the saga in this series is a bt jolting. It doesn't run smoothly from one issue to the next.

Here we are at Valentine's Day. Harvey and Jim show up at Wayne Manor to question Bruce. Bruce is not there as he has a date. A date with Selina. While I love this story line, the art for Selina does not flatter her.

Anyhow, before we get to the date, Batman shows up at the cemetery where Falcone is paying his respects to his dead son, whom he killed on NYE. I guess Falcone is Holiday. Catwoman arrives and "saves" Batman.

At the event, a rose is given to Selina. It pricks her finger.

Once back at Wayne Manor, Bruce is called to the courtyard. There he meets Poison Ivy (our first glimpse at her). The art makes it as though he is going to have sex with her. Y'see, a little disjointed.

2024 - Year of The Bat (366 Days of Batman)

Day 117: 4.5⭐️ Great, moody art but Selina, when she’s Selina, looks…off. Kind of hooker-ish for lack of a better description. Like someone Tony Soprano would have gone for. Which kind of goes with the mobster theme. I have no idea who Holiday is but Ivy coming in, that’s going to amp up the story, I think.

Just when Selena and Bruce are having a nice time as a couple, Poison Ivy joins the story. Now Bruce is under Mind control, Batman is MIA and Holiday starts a war between the Maroni and the Falcones… Every issue reminds me of why this story is peak Batman, I’m hooked on every single panel to see where it goes next

"You know you can't resist ME. No man can."

Listen... If it's Valentine's Day, and you got Batman and Catwoman in the same issue, I better see them kiss. And I damn don't! What a load of crap. Lemme see these two kiss any and every time.

Issue's good. Not enough Bat and Cat for my liking. Poison Ivy does show up so that lessens the blow, but still...

this was peak. the plot moved forward, jim gordon and harvey dent had stuff to do, there was a lot of alfred, and we got catwoman AND poison ivy (who, by the way, is such an incredible character i can’t wait to see what goes on with her).

[Gavin · Rating 4 out of 5]

The cast of characters is getting bigger with another 'villain' added to the rosta.

Holiday is still killing with abandon. I've no idea who the serial killer is as yet. I'm sure the hand holding the gun was feminine but that could be artistic license.

Story and art are both still excellent

[Pato Myers · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick, enjoyable, and nostalgic read.

[Frasier Sarmiento]

Great 5th entry to this mysterious adventure that follows not only batmans heroic acts but also a good bit of questioning

[Andres Farias Riquelme · Rating 5 out of 5]

The story goes on while I'm feeling that already ended.
We now understand more about Batman's and his best friend Gordon's motivations.
I'm starting to love this history.

[Dennis Brock · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still great 4/5

High 7.7

[Sanny · Rating 5 out of 5]

hmm
Bueno alguien me puede explicar por qué Batman y Catwoman si tienen menos química que yokese 😭

[Alessandro Parisi]

Falcone va a trovare il figlio al cimitero ma incontra Batman. Holiday colpisce ancora nel ristorante di Maroni. Il capo distrettuale Harvey va a trovare Bruce Wayne.

[James B · Rating 5 out of 5]

I'm loving reading this series for the first time. I have no idea if holiday is a new villai or one of the OGs

[michie · Rating 4 out of 5]

poison ivy the woman you are.

[Mikey Baker · Rating 5 out of 5]

A Valentines dilemma. Harvey and Jim stop by Wayne Manor and Alfred subtly reminds them to take care of their partners. Questions about Wayne and any connections to Falcone or Maroni.

[finn · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay, I'm so nervous about how this is gonna end.Poison Ivy looks so fucking cool, I'm still not liking how Bruce looks 😭

also my favorite cover art so far

[Vibhav · Rating 3 out of 5]

Less procedural, more emotional tension underneath.

[Solim · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good continuous mystery in each volume. Who is the killer?

[Mylah · Rating 3 out of 5]
