Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. 5: A Lonely Place of Living
by James Tynion IV
Now THIS is what I'm talking about Detective Comics finishes 2017 with the strongest volume since volume 1.
The first couple of issues mostly focus on Spoiler and her finding her place in this world now that she's walked away from the bat family. Once we get past that we focus on Tim Drake. You know our hero who has been gone 30+ issues? Well he's back and he's bringing someone with him. With a FUTURE Tim Drake following around the Tim we all know and love we begin to have a race of protecting the future and the present.
Good: Everything involving Tim Drake. It's obvious that James Tynion loves this character. His writing for this character is great. The back and forth between our Tim and future Tim is great. The outlook on life, and small sneak peeks into what COULD happen is both exciting and interesting. The Tim Drake of the future's plans are great and only could be stopped by one man was wonderful. The art also is once again solid and probably the best the series had to offer. The clayface stuff was also a huge plus and him and Cas being brother/sister relationship is perfect.
Bad: The Spoiler stuff just kind of feels meh. After a long build up in other issues this really did nothing for me and was glad it was over.
Overall this was wonderful. Easily the best Detective Comics volume for me. Now that this series is picking up steam again I can't wait for what's next. Awesome job James Tynion! Keep it up! A 4 out of 5.
