I hated the first volume on Libby, which I read because I got this volume in a random pull of a bunch of comics from the library. I knew I shouldn't pick this up, but I am a ratgrrrl with zero impulse control, so I thought I would give it a go. It couldn't be any worse...

Maybe it's worse, or maybe after finishing the first volume and reflecting on how much I didn't enjoy it, I had no more scales on my eyes and goodwill in my heart, but I am now happy (read: sad) to now confirm that show more these comics absolutely suck.

I hate being negative and generally make a point of avoiding being disparaging or insulting, but these comics are such purile frash that rhwh are insulting to read, so they started it. I wish there was a word for what cringe is attempting to convey, but fails as we are all incredibly cringe and life if better when we accept that. We are also all trash and I absolutely enjoy some trash, as a treat, but this is not good trash or even the good kind of bad trash. It's just such massive edgelord dudebro energy that I am flabbergasted Image publish it and genuinely can't imagine anyone not on the fedora forum on fucking fourchan finding this the least bit amusing.

The art is still rather pretty, but the fucking stupid shit the artist is made to draw...

The writing continues to sound like a joke writer fired by Andrew Dice Clay and the Grand Theft Auto 'comedy and parody' writers team for their work being too obvious, obnoxious, and lowest common denominator.

This comic continues to be an insult to the concept of cyberpunk and I hate it very much. show less

Holy wow! I could NOT put this book down. I had to force myself to be a responsible adult for a bit, but once I picked it back up again, I did not stop reading until I finished. This was such an incredible imagining of the Batman/Joker relationship and all the little ways their tango has affected the people closest to them and the city around them. I loved how I was kept at the edge of my seat, constantly guessing if Jack/Joker was really reformed, and if Batman had really gone off the deep show more end. I loved seeing my favorite vigilante hero as an anti-hero and how people were finally holding him responsible for it. And I loved every gut punch the hidden truths brought the characters, especially Batman. An absolute MUST read for fans of Batman and his darker side! show less

A slam-bang, two-fisted, balls-to-the-wall action comic — The Fast and the Furious with all the cars and tanks but now with added time travel! (Actually, I haven't seen the last one. Is F&F doing time travel now?)

The energy almost won me over, but the fast and loose play with time travel logic and the jackass personalities of the leads simultaneously pushed me away.

The sequel is just sitting right there on Hoopla though, so I’m probably going to read it.
