AIPT - David Brooke
Oct 14, 2026Batman: Bad Seeds - Streets of Gotham #1 is a wonderfully human anthology that reminds us Gotham's greatest heroes don't always wear capes. Across six stories, an impressive lineup of creators explores how ordinary citizens respond when their city falls into chaos. The artwork is consistently strong, with each artist bringing a distinct personality to their corner of Gotham. It has plenty of heart, alongside unsettling horror and sharp social commentary. It's an excellent companion to the larger event, making Gotham feel like a living, breathing community worth saving. Read Full Review

While the Dark Knight is at work, its’ citizens find courage in community with a fantastic compliment special to “Bad Seeds”. Each story differs in look and take but hovers around finding inner strength during crisis. It serves to prove not all heroes wear capes or in this case, cowls. Read Full Review

Oct 16, 2026Batman: Bad Seeds - Streets of Gotham #1 is an enjoyable enough read, but most of its stories are unlikely to leave much of a lasting impression. Most of the writing and art is good quality (with the exception of “The Stand” which feels incredibly out of place). Ultimately, though, the issue’s primary audience is probably Bad Seeds completionists. Read Full Review

Most of the stories were fine enough but this wasn't necessary.
