'Tec

  1. (fandom slang) Detective Comics (an American comic book series)
    • 2006, Mark Voger, The Dark Age: Grim, Great & Gimmicky Post-Modern Comics:
      Of course, the Batman’s debut in Tec #27 is tame by comparison
    • 2014 August 1, Chris Sims, “Ask Chris #205: The Worst Story From The Best Writer”, in ComicsAlliance[1]:
      Batman was, of course, meant to fill the role of its traditional contrast with Detective -- if 'Tec is about crime stories, then Batman is a full-on superhero adventure
    • 2018 February 28, Brandon Mulholand, “Detective Comics #975 review”, in Batman News[2]:
      Couple all that with the fact that Alvaro Martinez is on art duty for this story (he’s been my favorite Tec artist since Rebirth started) and I think what you have here is a tale worth reading.
