DETECTIVE COMICS #934
Published June 8, 2016 by DC Comics. Written by James Tynion IV and illustrated by Eddy
Barrows/Eber Ferreira.
Detective Comics #934 is the first Detective Comics issue to
return to the numbering convention used before the New 52 campaign. This is
part of the DC Universe’s “Rebirth” campaign. Someone is watching Gotham’s
vigilantes. Someone with advanced technology beyond what is available on Earth.
Batman, with the help of Batwoman must recruit those being
watched by this unknown being and prepared them for what is coming.
I’m pretty neutral on the whole numbering issue. Whether
they re-boot a series, go back to an old numbering or go to an alpha numeric
encrypted code you have to enter in a website to get the number makes no
difference to me. Detective Comics is the only DC title I read so my thoughts
and views come from that perspective.
After reading Detective #934 I’m excited about this new
story arc. My curiosity is intrigued. The opening pages with Azrael do a nice
job setting the stage for what is coming. The whole issue pretty much
introduces this new team Batman and Batwoman must put together to confront
whatever, or whoever, is scheming against Gotham vigilantes. It’s not till the
end we see it’s some sort of advanced army of a bat-kind.
I think beginning in this issue we may see some depth coming
to the character Clayface. The couple of pages introducing him in this issue
were interesting.
