It's taking its sweet time getting there, but I'm confident that as long as they give this book enough room to grow then it'll be amazing. If the plan was for just 12 issues or something like that, then this is too slow. The art was beautiful of course, the flashback for Mei (Storm) is sad but believable and well executed. I can't say I'm thrilled that the next mutant revealed is Nico, she's no more

I say this as someone who isn't a big fanboy of Doom. I think he's a great villain but not "the greatest" like many think. I'm sure this is influenced by the fact I don't like FF and I grew up much more of an X-Men fan. With that said, this is an AMAZING one-shot. Well told, if simplistic, story. The art was incredible. I've never heard of this Sanford Greene person, but they need more work more

Mostly predictable in the general way it ended, but it was fantastically executed. The art style isn't my typical preference but it was just so clean and well done (and contrasting with the subject material) so I really enjoyed it. The series reminded me a little of Berenstain Bears meets Dexter, a mix so odd but pulled off so well here. Very cool series with a perfect ending.

Really interesting book, loved the Nightcrawler-Mystique-Destiny drama. A little confusing but not overly so if you're paying attention. Overall Rise/Fall hasn't been quite as good as HOX/POX but it's still been good, and this book has been one of the highlights.

I enjoyed the Sabretooth parts, the concept of therapy by reliving some of his deeds through the perspective of his victims was interesting. The rest was ok. I don't care for the art at all, but it doesn't detract from the story to me. Honestly, the whole event has been a slight let down. I expected it to be a bit more. Not that it's been bad, just not quite as grand or epic as I was hoping b more

While I enjoy the general idea of the story, the writing is AWFUL. The dialog and vibe in the writing makes me want to drop the book even though I usually enjoy Deadpool stories, even the bad ones. The art is ok, but nowhere near good enough to make up for the putrid writing.

I liked two of the three stories, so rounding up that's a 7. The Hawkeye story was lame and boring to me, the JJJ and son story was the best and very enjoyable (the scene where JJJ blames Spidey for his son getting turned, and then shifts the blame on Spidey to another reason when John is ok was classic), and the Dagger story was very good too. Cloak and Dagger are characters I've always liked a more

Noir-ish crime stories like this aren't exactly my bag, but something about this made me want to give it a shot. Even the art isn't the type I usually appreciate, but it worked for this book and I enjoyed the story. Has a slight "Sin City" meets Guy Ritchie vibe, and those are two things I can definitely appreciate.

Gorgeous art, gripping story. Well defined characterization of Pigeon as someone who was never afforded an identity because they were temporary. The rage of the villagers was expected and executed well. Pigeon's initial giving up, then deciding "no, f this and f you guys" was a thoroughly enjoyable development. Can't wait for the next issue.

I'm enjoying the story for the most part, I like all the characters, but jfc this book is so ugly. The art is SO bad it really detracts from the experience. I've read that some others like the art, I've read other reviews that specifically say the art is the main strong point of the book right now. I don't get it. To each their own, but it's just messy and looks like a bad attempt at old 3-D. more

If the Birds of Prey have one mission, it's protect Barbara Gordon at all costs, and that mission is...not going great. Dinah and her team search for Barbara in this strange new world that seems specifically designed to trip them up. Many mysteries lurk in the dark of this world, and some of them don't even want to kill you...probably.

I thought the story was good, but the art kinda killed it for me. I only picked up this issue because of the Blood Hunt tie in, so it was cool to see the immediate followup to BH1 and it was an interesting story in its own right, but the art was just out of place and out of tone. It wasn't ugly or anything, it was competent. I just think it belongs in a book like Strange Academy or Power Pack o more

Enjoyed the story and the art was incredible. I don't remember anything about Lee Price or the character revealed at the end, but I don't really care. The meat of the story was Venom's relationship with Dylan and everything happening around that. And the art was some of the best Venom art I've seen in a long time. Reminded me of Erik Larsen mixed with Ed McGuinness. Just fantastic.
