Yup, it’s another one of those “art’s good, writing stinks” (ie. 90% of most comics) reviews!
Detective Comics, Volume 9: Deface the Face looks exactly how I want a Batman comic to look. In a word: awesome. Dramatic, dark, exciting, polished - I totally enjoyed this book from a visual standpoint and cowls off to Stephen Segovia and Carmine Di Giandomenico for that.
James Robinson though - pee-yew! What a rubbish story. Some crap about Kobra contaminating the Gotham water supply to turn everyone into followers of Kobra. Who the fuck are Kobra?! Maybe they’ve been introduced in earlier books - I haven’t kept up with the series as James Tynion IV is a terrible writer I can’t stand. I guess the League of Shadows was busy?
Two-Face “shockingly” helps out Batman even though blah blah predictable crap and status quo is reinstated by the end. A couple Fire Flies are thrown in the mix too.
It’s nice to look at but the convoluted and forgettable story makes Deface the Face a total waste of time.
