Quick Review: Batman/Superman #12

What makes Batman/Superman work is Jeph Loeb's complete and utter grasp of characterization. He doesn't just write Batman and Superman perfectly, but he even brings out the best in this issue's guest stars Wonder Woman, Big Barda, and even the villanous Darkseid. In fact, it's Loeb's keen grasp of character that allows us to more easily accept his rather far fetched plot (Batman on Apokalips?). As for the plot, the action's good and there's a decent cliffhanger at the end. Definately curious about next issue.

Michael Turner's artwork is one of the purtiest in the industry. It's also one of the emptiest. His artwork lacks emotion, heart, motion, and any semblance of life. It's like being on Mars. The inking is great, capturing the multitude of clean, well assembled lines that make up Turner's art, and the coloring is easily among the best of any DC comic.
