AOL's COMICS ALLIANCE blog reviews DETECTIVE COMICS #857
September 28, 2009
This is the best looking issue of the best looking book either of the big two is currently producing. And the story's pretty good on top of that. Detective 857 wraps up the first story arc of Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams III's Batwoman series in Detective Comics. I have to say, I'm not the sort of reader who usually notices pictures before the words in my comics. I tend to focus on the story first, and then the art's an afterthought. And Rucka's writing is certainly good in this one, as it's been in the last three. But the layout of each and every page is simply so beautifully done that I can't help but single out Williams' art as creating an experience unlike anything else I'm reading right now.
