Review

The world is still reeling from the disaster that took out the Justice League but drama waits for no man and the world continues to turn, evil forces seize the opportunity to take a stranglehold on the world causing shear chaos, but there are those who have the will to fight back.

One of the forces invading Titan Towers is a rage fuelled Deathstroke leading his army to take down the Titans once and for all, with the Towers up in flames and the end seemingly on the horizon who has the power to fight back? Only Nightwing normally has the power to lead the fight, but can this battered hero come out on top? He needs back up and desperately.

Joshua Williamson has a talent for writing stories that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout, each panel draws you deeper in and makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck leaving you breathless at the end, Dark Crisis is definitely an event that has the potential to reshape the DC world forever and I am definitely here for the ride.

The illustrations by Daniel Sampere are of the usual epic standard giving the reader a true feeling of the emotion and raw feeling of the written words, the darken tones and deep colourings really bring home the intense nature of this title.

Verdict

Another incredible addition to one of the biggest events in comics this year, hold on to your seats this is going to be a bumpy ride that will blow your mind.
