    A perfect ending

    This is ridiculous.

    That’s how I started my review of last issue, saying how great this run has been. Well, here we are with the last issue of the run by Scott Snyder, Jock and Francesco Francavilla...and it is brilliant. This issue is almost a double-sized issue, so you get almost a full comics worth of art from Jock and Francesco each, in the same book. Before this, the two artists had different stories they were drawing, in the same book, but this issue finally brought everything together, in one of the most gorgeous issues I have ever seen.

      If you were to tell me exactly one year ago, that Detective Comics would end their first volume by this month, I'd be upset at this. But now, looking back at it, this is not a forced ending. Instead, this final issue, fantastically made by Scott Snyder, Jock, Francesco Francavilla, and David Baron, is a vocal and visual tribute that reinforces an unwritten tradition in Detective Comics; to make great stories worthy of the name Detective Comics. The following review will demonstrate why this conc...
