So Capshaw can make brigadier general but can't seem to figure out how bad the optics of having the charges dropped would look....but Faith can, of course. Because she's stunning and brave right? I guess not too smart though as she doesn't even use a disguise when hunting down the magic user. Sigh. The geek comments were ok when it came to Dr. who but the comics pull list recommendations line was laaaaaame. Hope she didn't recommend her own book to G.A.T.E. or anyone else for that matter. The art is what you'd expect for a book like this and is nothing special. Overall a weak start to Valiant's big resurgence. more

I enjoy this series but it seems there are always little things that just seem lazy and we are expected to just ignore it. A perfect example is the beginning of this book. How did Matt not know it was a trap? He's smarter than that and could have determined how many heartbeats were surrounding him not to mention he knows Bullseye's more than anyone would. A small something written in to explain this, like a disruptor or mimic devise or IDK...SOMETHING. Editors are nothing anymore. Other than that this book continues to be decent but overpriced. more

Enthralling story with unsettling art make for one great comic book series and this issue really starts to build up the tension.

A slow march with a small side quest and a villain in hot pursuit. Steady pace with a decent story and good art. Ghost machine is worth buying the whole universe so far and between this and the energon universe I may be down to buying 2 or 3 big two books a month max. My money has to go to quality and what I enjoy and this title is one of those books.

Questions answered and holes filled...tee hee. A few new plot points are introduced but overall this really fills the gaps in all the regular series, like stuff fans have really been wanting to see. This is how you do pay offs for stories! Just masters of the craft here.

Quite the letdown. This book had such potential and the only thing I can say about each story is Meh. If your a turtles fan I'd suggest waiting to see if you can find this later in a $1 bin and if your not a turtle fan then don't even bother.

Just ok.

Why was this a black label book? There is nothing here to warrant the labeling. This is pretty much.....nothing. A look back at how Damian & Dick came to be with his dad with a little Clayface and Batgirl thrown in for fun??? Filler garbage with art that's beyond subpar for this property. Clayface looks good and a few other poses of certain characters but this art style just doesn't fit a bat family book. Maybe the art is why it's black label? IDK. I see it's got many good reviews and I'm in the minority so far but I just don't get it. It's also $6!!!! Terrible. more

This art has run it's course.

This doesn't really reinvent the wheel or anything but the art is a feast for the eyes.

If your a fantastic four fan then you can really forgive a lot in this book. It reminds me of many modern writers and their cutesy wootsey humor that just gets old after you've seen it time and time again but here it works a little bit. The reason I think it works is because it's not something out of left field like it usually is. Johnny and Ben are CONSTANTLY at each other trying to one up each other all while remaining best friends and blood brothers. It's been established. This isn't the best version of that and if your new to the FF you may say "WTF is this"? but it can work if your in the mood. more

Someone needs to pimp slap Carly. I love this series but the autobots needs to sack up a little. I mean this is war. Besides those little complaints, this issue was pretty good. The memories of Spikes dad through Optimus's eyes was touching and we get a new decepticon introduced. Overall a good, not great, issue.

"No fighting. Swearsies." This one piece of dialogue tells you everything you need to know about this book. Who the f*** is this for? Why do they keep shoveling this garbage out month after month? Sigh. The writing and art are abysmal, swearsies!

A choppy and scattered start for Man's Best, with sanctimonious and complacent dialogue coming from the humans, while the animals quarrel with each other, desperate for some characterization, and with very limited success. Then the animals go about destroying stuff they don't understand, making the dialogue at the beginning even more sour. I'm sure the plot will justify their actions but it fails to be entertaining. The artwork is OK but for a book that depends so much on cool machinery/mecha/tech designs it was lacking. The tech stuff looks uninspired and forgettable. The writing is unfortunately atrocious. I'll pass this one. more

In this issue, Jess pats herself on the back for being an excellent stealthy spy just before a big glowing zappy hulk apparently sneaks up on her. That's the high point of another round of endless samey thought narration about the past instead of things actually happening in the present and having no supporting cast, unifying theme, or anything really going on beyond Jess being bland and indeed not very good at spying. If all the ruminating on her past is meant to show how she's grown as a character, I hope we're going to address why she's suddenly so bad at everything. I am once again asking: why does Marvel hate Spider-Woman? more

This just didn't hit me like it obviously did for some others but I didn't hate it. I guess the idea of emotional support animals is kinda inane to me, so that took me out of it a bit, and the fact that she's so lovey dovey with them and there is such a hippie dippy feel to the characters but she shoves electrical gizmos into her "fur babies" brains and that's ok? IDK. Overall it's fine and I'll continue to read for the animal comradery and to find out what happened to everyone but I wish it had been better. more

Another IP that hasn't gotten any love in a while coming out as a comic and doing a damn decent job of entertaining me. The art is great and the story makes sense with a better plot and dialogue than I would have ever expected. Good stuff.

Solid effort here. Deadpools quips hit more often than not and the art is amazing. Not the best ever but a fun little bloody issue.

Not bad at all. A cool plan to darken the world that didn't make me roll my eyes, tons of action and some new villains make for a really decent event. Wanda was too much of a smart ass IMO and I would have loved to see Steve as the symbol transported away. I just can't see Sam or Bucky as Cap and probably never will. I didn't have much hope for this event as I think MacKay is spread too thin these days but I was happily surprised. more

I just don't know how one goes from Savage Avengers to......this. The art is good.

This kind of writing in superhero books doesn't usually work. Harley Quinn is one of those few characters where it can work but no one seems to be able to do it well enough to be entertaining instead of eye rolling, mind numbing, and sad. Erica Henderson ain't the one. Art or writing, take your pick.

How the hell is Power Girl top heavy when she's drawn to specifically de emphasize her tits? Please let slice of life die soon.

The cover is amazing but it's the best thing about this book. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad at all it's just kinda boring. I would love it if this mini was a segue into a New Warriors series but it's just old Power Man stories retold.

This finale is EPIC!!! If only other IP's were given this same care and attention. No slice of life bs here people, just magnificence on paper.

Does anyone know if that was supposed to be future slaughter's marauders member Mercer standing next to Destro or is that just wishful thinking?

Pretty decent stuff here. I prefer this to the new Zorro series because unlike that series this one isn't a new take on the character, it's just who Dick Tracy has always been. Too many times we get a resurgence of a property and the assigned writer feels they have to reinvent the wheel. Sometimes it works but just as often it simply falls flat. I think this was the best approach for such an old character; the old lore is practically new to most modern fans so why change what worked before. The setup engages the reader and has that Sunday funnies feel with the noir aspect worked in. The art is great for this type of book and I think the series benefits from it greatly. All in all this is a fun read and I look forward to the next issue. more

Ughh. The art change should have been up to the previous issues standards but here it's really just run of the mill. That being said I really enjoyed this book and it basically crawled at a snails pace but I think we needed this issue to really understand some of the new characters (and yes I consider all these familiar faces new because this is a totally different ball game). We are expected to be invested in the book and the people who populate it so we need some deep dives into their characters once in a while. This was as enjoyable as Tarintino dialogue to me. The next issue does need some more action so we don't get bored though. more

One of the few big two books I'm willing to pay $5 for. Aside from Ultimate Spider-Man, this is the best series Marvel is putting out and I'm afraid it won't get the recognition it deserves because everyone is buying shit like Amazing Spider-Man and X-Men instead.

I heard about this issue and HAD to read it and yeah, it's one of King's worst. Damn I miss Greg Rucka. Put simply this is cliche bullshit. The Sovereign is an old man who is incompetent apparently cause he's done NOTHING in this run. Is that what King wants to tell us all, that the patriarchy has no real power beyond what we give it? Dear Lord. Wonder Woman is a stereotypical housewife again. WTF? Same old shit and now it's powerful writing??? It's sad that the most bad ass woman in all of comics is reduced to this trope. Modern day pandering and out of character moments to fit the writers world views just shows that Tom King is nothing more than a hack. A+ art. more

Not much happens here but it's all building to something and for $2.99 I think this is a pretty damn good deal. I like detective stories and this one is just fine for some downtime reading.
