A review by iffer
Batman: Detective Comics, Vol. 8: On the Outside by Diana Egea, Phillipe Briones, Bryan Edward Hill, Miguel Mendonça

2.0

This was fine. I mean, it's hard to read a Detective Comics collection that I dislike, and it was nice to read about Black Lightning a little bit. This collection made me realize that I've been taking James Tynion's writing finesse for granted. The script in this installment felt clunky. Plus, the bad kids, intentionally or unintentionally were portrayed as bratty teenagers, which along with Bruce's heavy-fisted (pun intended) angst, ended up getting on my nerves. The art was also not up to snuff in comparison to the previous arcs.
