DC Comics Universe and Detective Comics #1026 Spoilers and Review follows.
A Joker War Tie-In With…
…A New Super Team Debut?!
The book opens with Batman the midst of the Joker War…
…hunting Killer Croc!
He has a new team with him, a Monstertown it seems, impacted by…
…the chemical the Joker’s henchmen…
…unleashed into the sewers that transformed other criminals, like Croc, who…
…wanted nothing to do with the Joker War.
Killer Croc doesn’t believe Batman when he says the chemicals are killing his new team.
A battle ensues and Batman wins.
In Arkham Asylum, the new team will get the help they need as…
…Killer Croc seems to be not wholly evil anymore.
The Pulse:
This didn’t feel like a Joker War tie-in in substance beyond taking place in a Gotham City ravaged by the Joker. It did feel like a Joker War tie-in spiritually with a whole host of new characters debuting. Ok story and amazing art. 7 out of 10.
