Honestly I am going to be in the minority, but I really enjoyed it. I understand there are many valid concerns and criticism but I liked this run so far. Good art from Jorge Jimenez (he's carrying this more than James Tynion IV), Batman can be resourceful, the story is engaging, Bruce Wayne realizing he's taking Batman too seriously and Bat family are slowly realizing the Zurr En Arrh robot isnt w more

I actually enjoyed the continuity built that happened in this issue! I think it's inventive and creative how Zdarsky is trying to tie it all together across the different eras. I'm really interesting where this is going next.

This is certainly an unpopular opinion, but I think what Zdarsky has done with Zur and Failsafe has been really clever. It draws on the comic’s long history and the character’s paranoia and the conflicting images of Batman as a one-man army and role as patriarch of the Bat-family. This issue is tense, ramping up towards a conflict I’m excited to see how Zdarsky handles.

This issue was fantastic and feel that my patience with this run is now being rewarded with some very compelling ideas and connections. I could feel my adrenaline pumping as the story progressed and was at the edge of my seat the whole read.

Additionally, Jimenez's art is brilliant and elevates the issue to another level. Jimenez is not only my favorite current artist in comics but wil more

This issue was a total mixed bag for me. Sophie excels in emotional moments throughout the issue but this whole story arc has become so convoluted and disjointed that the issue felt so bloated with hand wavy solutions that it felt like a jumbled rush of a final issue.

Great issue that perfectly captured the essence of what this book was capable at when at it's best, a fun cheesy action story with the scoundrels in the Star Wars universe. The problem with the series was that it would get diluted with too many new characters constantly being thrown at you without you ever giving you a reason to get invested in these characters or it would drag on side stories wit more
