Exploring more of the Damian death arc, the clayface story had a good hook, and the Superman story was average. Solid writing through this arc though.

Read issues 6-8, i feel like the plot is not as cohesive as the first few issues. I found the two bizarro issues slogs to read, but they did end in a cute way. I hope the plot with future supermen is heading somewhere, I did like how they honored our Superman, however if they’re inclusion is not building to something, I’m confused as to their inclusion in the story.

Read the first5 issues. I like how creative page layouts can be, and how the art and speech bubbles will change to communicate story details. Most issues have been quite engaging, and there is a nice amount of world building. The first 3 issues centering Superman on Louis, feel slightly more cohesive together than issues 4 with jimmy, and 5 with lex, but let’s see if they are building to something.

Just read resolve. It’s nice to see that Harper’s story is building to something. I wonder what happened to her mom. I liked how her journey with her brother’s want to see their dad, parceled with Bruce needing Harper’s signal to rest. Bruce shares that others are sometimes needed to get a better prospective. I appreciate that the filler issues like this are contributing to something bigger.

Read the death of the family story from start to finish. I was very interested the whole way, and it was good. It used the idea of joker knowing hero identities to set up nice intrigue, while exploring his relationship with Batman. Not great but solid intriguing read.

Just read the year zero “yesterday” and “tomorrow comics. They felt very world-buildery, however I am curious on how all the robins get to go through their arcs in just 6 years.

Just read Batman annual, and issue 11, I liked the second prospective of the issue 11 story connecting to Bruce’s announcement, and the fact Bruce keeps the rotting power grid alive. The connections in the annual were nice, to the mainline owl sorry, but I was a tad confused by the ending. I like how freeze was connected to the owls. Will be researching this issue more.

I just reread the ending of the court story, and I do like how Bruce’s lesson was how he needed to invest in Gotham to build it up, not just focus on Batman, as his initial Gotham renewal project was centered on building bases, not truly helping.

I found the cruelty of the adults in issue one to be quite distasteful, but the evolution of the plot thread made the other issues go down much easier. A fast paced adventure so far, with an easy solution to the central problem coming in halfway through this book. A quick fun and engaging read, but I wish the plot had more substance.

The owls story is mostly over beside the pennyworth 3 of 3. I feel confused over March’s character evolution, as well as if the talons actually planned on killing him. Why would they do that? Maybe he was just assuming? I appeared the ambiguous nature of his Wayne brotherhood status, but I fell like his defeat (having his eyes pressed in and falling victim to an explosion he caused) to be to easy of a conclusion

Just completed issue 7 I’m going back to read more context from the nightwing arc.
