Detective Comics #9 Preview/Discussion SPOILERS

[osoito]

The Two-Face story doesn't quite make sense yet, but the artwork in 9 on the back-up that tried to convey dark and moody just made it even more confusing because of the coloring (or lack of clearer colors). I had no idea of who some of the characters were and if there were suppose to actually be different people or just Generic Thug #1, Generic Thug #2, Generic Thug #3, . . .

It is a waste of paper, just an excuse to charge an extra dollar.

I'm hating the two-face backups. Maybe it's the writing, or my lack of interest but when I'm done reading them I'm left wondering whats going on. The regular story was fine, aside from the issue of Batman appearing. Wasn't he trapped in Wayne Manor? Hopefully Batman #9 addresses the issue.

This is how I felt about this issue too. Daniel's art was good though.

I waited to read this until I could read Batman first, so I could read the stories in correct sequence. For a stand-alone story, and as an owls tie-in, I thought it did pretty good on both accounts. This is certainly a new and different Black Mask, but that's really nothing new for the DCnU.

Daniel didnt draw this issue

He drew the lead story, which I'm assuming is what he was referring to.

And the co-feature back-up story was . . . almost forgetable.

Great issue, much better than Batman #9 this month! I enjoyed the action as well as seeing characters such as Clayface in the New 52's universe, he looked great as did some of the other cool villains shown, overall I really enjoyed issue #9 and it still remains my favorite Batman title on store shelves today. I'm kind of getting tired of the Owls, but I'm sure this storyline will be wrapped up soon with bigger and better things on the horizon. :)

Not "almost forgettable", forgettable. I've been having a hard time remembering anything about it other than Two-Face being involved, for a bit I actually forgot this series is having back-ups!

I've just about decided to drop this. I haven't enjoyed it since the Dollmaker issues, I REALLY enjoyed those. I've only been holding out with this series as I love the Joker too much and know there will probably be a development in the storyline the moment I stop buying it. But I need to cut down on spending and this series was already near the bottom of my list, but now it's more expensive and has a waste of space at the back that I couldn't care less about. Hmm

I actually thought the lead story was good this time though. But it didn't need Batman to actually be involved.

And to think that back in the Dollmaker arc this was actually one of my favourite comics on the stands.
