Matt Grazel Comic Reviews

Tyler Kirkham's art stands out in panels involving the aliens of the Pax Galactica and the battle scene between Superman and Straith. Kirkham's artwork sets up for what will follow next as Superman will join forces with the Pax Galactica against the Lexus.

Snyder and Capullo continue to form the beginning of their in-depth eleven issue story arc of the origin of one of the most greatest superheroes. This second nearly yearlong tale by the creative team will continue to present readers with a different but a faithful interpretation of Bruce Wayne and the challenges he will face just as Snyder and Capullo did in the eleven issue Court of Owls story arc.

A noticeable difference is the change in the art in the last few pages. Jae Lee draws the majority of the issue while Ben Oliver is the artist for the last few pages that are on Earth 2. Greg Pak succeeds in the first issue of Batman/Superman and leaves readers anticipating issue #2. The artwork, particularly Lee's, is excellent as his pencils contribute to the success of the first issue starring the two iconic superheroes.

Detective Comics #22 is another piece by Layman and Fabok that readers will enjoy. Detective Comics has been so consistent and reliable since Layman and Fabok took over that it is one of the top two Batman comic books. The issue is an example of what makes Batman an appealing character to read about in comics.
