durakken's Detective Comics #4 - The Main Event review

'tec #4

Art - The art is unsurprisingly good. It's 'Tec so that is obviously the standard usually.

Story - This is a pretty solid ending to a pretty boring arc...but it's pretty hard to mess up a largely action based issue... though some have succeeded. The only really stand out WTF were you thinking out of place thing in the issue is after the action scene and before the last scene... We get Bruce and some women chilling in the mountains. That didn't need to be there... and the fact that it is there says a lot about the writer and editor not understanding what is and isn't needed. It is the mark of some one not being good enough to see it and/or someone not ballsy enough to say it shouldn't be there.

Characterization - Nothing amazing but all the characters act as they should... again, not hard for a largely action based issue.

Recommendation - If you've gone through the last 3 issues buy this. But if you are looking for a jump on point...Wait for next month. Next month should be a new arc.

Tony Daniel is writing and draw the series DC was named after. He has been throwing out surprises. However, does he have an interesting story for this series?  THE GOOD: Tony Daniel's art is okay. I don't think it's the best but it's not the worst. I like the feeling of the book he adds to the book with his style. He also gives the book something because that he writes it and he can draw it the way he wanted it to look. I really like seeing Batman fighting all of the fake Jokers and I think the ...
