Grimlock ♥ Ultra Magnus

I love Tom King.  I love what he's doing with Batman and Catwoman - and yet this, the culmination of what he's been building up to them?  It felt anticlimactic to me, and I found myself having to force myself to get excited about this pairing.  

There was a lot that King did well: the parallel storylines as Bat and Cat tell each other how they remember first meeting, the tension at the end, the way that Batman pieces together what happened and how to find Selina.  

But I found myself less eager to finish than I usually am with King's work, so I'm knocking down one star.  I think what it was that bothered me as I read this became more and more clear with each page: they're so comfortable with each other that I miss the tension of their relationship that I've come to love.  

Here's hoping that I get more entranced with the next storyline and it bumps it right back up to a five star review again.   King is a brilliant writer and I'm willing to put up with a couple miss issues when he has so many hits.   And this wasn't even that much of a miss, to be honest.
