I got in through the annual and I'm loving it so far. It feels expansive and fresh. I'm looking forward to seeing how this run shapes up and I'm excited for the Vigil miniseries.
Also read Arkham City: The Order Of The World by Dan Watters, that finished right before Ram’s Detective Run started. They are friends and writing partners. Ram picks up where Dan left off in the Arkham book. A true descent into Madness, that Arkham boom was. And there is a lot of references and riffing off of Grant Morrison’s Arkham Asylum book from the 80s. Brits always elevate other Brits work lol
I was wondering if you were reading that. I don’t recall seeing it on your previous pick ups. Best solo Batman book out right now. Great that you caught up!
I’ve been picking these up in singles without reading any of them because I want to ensure as a customer it keeps going. Now this weekend I sat down and read them all in a row. And yeah, it’s so good! I’m excited that the next arc is going to be bi-weekly. Jason Shawn Alexander is doing the art for the new arc and it’s beautiful! Totally agree with you about the backups as well, they better maintain their order in collected editions because they’re absolutely essential to the main story!!!
I absolutely love the gothic art of this run. The story is a slow burn but it is very very good. Kind of reminds me of 90s era Batman with Kelley Jones art
I just started reading a ton last year, I read most of the stuff I wanted to and didn’t know about this run, I really like two face and Barbatos so I’ll give this a shot, sounds really interesting.
To me, Ram V's writing is perfect for Trades. Not so much for month to month. This Detective comics run is way to slow of a burner to get excited while waiting issue to issue. (That annual almost made me drop the title) but just like Priest, he wraps up great. Just like his carnage run.
@@comicsaredope Nailed it. It's very boring as a monthly read. I was a huge fan of Ram's independent work and was super stoked to see him come to DC. So far, I have largely been unimpressed. Poetic, but verbose with poor pacing. Love your channel. Would definitely like to watch more long reviews like this. Have good one.
Man, now I want a weekly Kicks food review, tell me about that acidity! Put me down for someone who would like more of these deep dives like these. I want to hear about the dope series I might be sleeping on!
Ivan Reis been my favorite artist on the run so far. Chip’s Batman book was all shock and awe, and carried by Jorge Jimenez. The jig was up for me on issue 3 when I realized the story didn’t have any real substance, just a bunch of flash and empty references to Grant Morrison stuff. End of arc 1 was hollow, and now this second arc of Batman proves all of that. No Jorge, the book has tanked. The plot is so uninteresting, and the execution is flat. I’m dropping Batman. Better to steadily rise than rocket up, blow your load early, and crater back down to earth (like Batman in issue 5 of Chip’s run 😂). MESSAGE! 🤌🏾✉️
Ivan is also my favorite on this run, but I'm sure anyone could've guessed that. I feel like Chip's Batman is playing out like a summer blockbuster film in the Will Smith era. Some land better than others critically, but who really cares how good the story is? Is it fun? Does the star player feel like a star player? Was the popcorn good? Most importantly, did being in a cool theater keep you out of the scorching heat for a second? Bet. Mission accomplished. Jorge is back with issue 135 next month and I can't wait to grab the popcorn again.
@@comicsaredope I care lol. Shock and awe gets old. You gotta come down to earth sometime. Have some dynamics. Keeping the volume at 11 the whole time is grating and wears out it’s welcome. I personally go to movies for movies, not snacks. I go to feed off the film. In this case, I had to elevate my diet in respect to my health. Fast food comics stay to a minimum with me. I require more nourishment. And if the cook is doing their job, I’ll get a meal with health portions if everything I’m looking for, not just a bowl of sugary cereal every meal 🍽️. But hey, none of us need to justify our delights. Enjoy chip. I’ve been enjoying Jorge with a better writer over on Nemesis: Reloaded, where he has no restrictions and is letting his wings fully expand 😎

💯
All the cover A’s are artistic beauty. I stopped picking it up last January, I love the art and the tone for story.

💯. This run is great. I’ve been a Ram V fan. The Arkham series w/10 eyed man, his Swamp thing was fantastic. I’m reading his Vigil is cool.
these are the exact type of videos I've been looking for!
Alright. I'm sold on it. I'll check it out. Cheers for the recommend.

I agree. I'm not sure I'd be this excited about the run if I had read it month to month.

I third this, I read the run monthly but I ended up dropping it for Batman as I had trouble remembering and following what was going on.
I love this run! Also love the style /theme of the covers and interior art!! True gothic tale!
Dad fit on point today Kicks 👨
This may be a collected edition to look out for 😁🦇

I’d like more
Of these
I haven't been picking this up and I'm trying to decide to wait for the trades or to buy all the back issues.
