Quickfire Combo-Reviews: "Detective Comics" #938 / "Superman" #4 / "The Punisher" #4

"Detective Comics" #938: We see more and more classic Batman themes and moves in "Detective Comics" recently, and it is all the better for it. The dynamic between Batman and his team has also notably improved, making this a solid read throughout. 

7/10

"Superman" #4: The series seems to have finally found its rhythm and footing, while Jon's significance to it grows with every issue.

7/10

"The Punisher" #4: It's a pure joy how pissed off and angry everyone here just is. Not as violent as you might have hoped for, but still really, really good.

8/10

Quickfire Combo-Reviews: "Civil War II" #2 / "Nightwing" #1 / "Action Comics" #937

"Civil War II" #2: The series is now in full swing, as the battle lines are drawn with no way back for either side. Tony Stark is conceived particularly well here, as both emotion and the urge to control his environment rage inside him.

8/10

"Nightwing" #1: It picks up where it left off in the "New 52", but still manages to give newcomers a thorough introduction to the character and what defines him. Funny with a compelling story.

8/10

"Detective Comics" #937: The mystery of "The Colony" unravels here, as Tynion IV builds up what could be a great showdown in the following issues. It also features some really interesting facts about Batman's utility belt. 

8/10

Review: "Detective Comics" #936

Just when I had almost given up Detective Comics, writer James Tynion IV finally remembers that he's actually one of the best Batman writers in recent time (go ahead and read the Batman/TMNT crossover). 

In this issue, he finally taps a bit deeper into some of the main characters' minds and motivations, while streamlining its main story transforms the comic into a highly entertaining, surprising and gripping affair. Alvaro Martinez' art and Brad Anderson's colors make for an impressively dark and menacing Gotham, thus completing the comic's positive overall impression.

8/10
