Weekly Comic Review: The Ultimates 3, #5

[JohnnyGo]

And this is why it absolutely baffles me that people think stuff like BATMAN: THE LONG HALLOWEEN is so excellent. This is the same Jeph Loeb, and he gives the Batman world the same treatment as he does with Marvel, rich with plot holes galore, sub-Hollywood cliche dialogue, one-dimensional characters, style over substance, all resulting in a deeply superficial work.

My theory as to why Loeb's gotten away with it for so long is that he's always worked with brilliant artists. Glad to see some people are finally seeing him for the hack that he is. Namely, the guy who wrote the Howie Long epic, FIRESTORM.
