I'm reading this for the art, which is surprising considering this is a Hickman gig. But honestly, the tone is all over the place, and the main character has yet to show an interesting side. The motivation for the Sisterhood of Mankind makes no sense, and the main plot JUST caught up to the main storyline with two issues to go.

Did I mention the art? Crazy good.

I felt the first two issues were surprisingly slow considering their subject matter, but this final issue of the 3-issue miniseries sure didn't slow down one bit. Lots happened, probably enough to fit in 4 or 5 issues, and it was all exciting and crazy.

Looking forward to "Hell & Gone"!

If you'd told me 25 issues ago that Daredevil would end up in jail with his mask on, I would have probably rolled my eyes. Except this is really good stuff! The mask thing is a bit silly, but that's okay. This issue avoided jail clichés and instead gave us a great character turn and an exciting new direction for the issues to follow. Zdarsky remains, as always, at the top of his game.

As excited as I am to return to Tom King's Batman, the time jumps were too jarring and made a pretty straightforward tale confusing. I'm also a bit annoyed that we're spending time in the future, because, as lovely as that future was in the Annual, we all know it will never survive the whims of future writers. As such, it feels like a bit of a waste of time.

Love how Taylor keeps throwing complications into the DCeased universe. This was a pretty kickass read, and I'm looking forward to next month's conclusion.

The whole reason I read this digital series is because of Taylor's exceptional handle on character relationships. In this regard, this issue was a fantastic ending to the series. Really enjoyed Luthor's plan coming together. This whole series was a fun read.

Holy hell, this is brilliant, potent stuff. When I read the concept for this series I thought it was cute that they would explore urban legends, but this is so... raw and contemporary. Really, really good stuff.

The art is amazing, too, and a perfect complement for the writing. Perhaps Tynion's best stuff ever.

This is probably my favorite issue of the run. And it's such an incredible shame that this is the end. If DC had any sense, they'd bring it back, even if the sales aren't what they'd like. Sometimes a story is worth publishing even if it's not a major seller. It'd look good to have one of the most critically acclaimed and universally praised series on shelves.

I love Delano's and Ennis's Hellblazer runs. This one was better. It's possible the comics market isn't big enough to support this sort of book anymore, which is a shame, because I wrapped up this story looking at the final black page and cursing that this was it. The story ends at a point that someone else can pick up from in the future, but it will be a real shame if Spurrier/Campbell aren't involved in the next chapter. Regardless, I'd expect several of the elements from this story to impact Constantine stories in the future. more

It perplexes me as to how even with endless possibilities and potential for stories brought upon with the medium of the Dark Multiverse, DC can't seem to hire anyone with a single shred of imagination!

These are the stories in this book:

-"Scary Stories to tell in the Dark Multiverse" = More Snyder Robin King projection.

-"Feeding the Beast" = DC gave Patton Oswald a Zsasz story; but who gives a shit because I fell asleep reading it.

-"The Super-Threats!" = Just another zombie story, but this time it has the Super Pets.

-"Hard Traveled" = Waste of pages #1; Hal and Oliver have a disagreement. Nothing story.

-"The Fear Index" = Waste of pages #2; John Henry Irons and a kid talk about fear. Nothing story.

This whole book is packed with the most uninspired shit I've ever seen. Grant Morrison could take a dump and it would be more interesting than this anthology. Burning money here DC, Jesus Christ. more

What a perfect conclusion to a near-perfect run. I keep thinking back to Constantine's earlier runs, and I'm not sure even Delano's 1988-1991 had this level of character grit and bold urban mustiness. Not only that, but the art is absolutely stunning throughout.

Here's hoping the creative team will get to tackle John again in the very near future, especially given the amazing ground they've left for a follow-up. more

I don't know how to feel about this series yet, but I figure this is because it's very much a single work broken into twelve issues. It's definitely a slow burn, and that's not a bad thing at all. I guess I'll just trust in King and hang around until the actual plot starts to coalesce.

Is it me or was this kinda... anticlimactic? After all the hype and issues building up to the duels we get:

- a super-short battle where Betsy loses for some unknown reason
- a wedding (Excalibur)
- arm wrestling
- a drink off
- another short fight battle between Wolverine vs Summoner (and his momma).

The banquet was fun, but I expected the tournament to be crazy. Mutants and Arakkii's lives are at stake and yet it's just silly and lighthearted.

This is one of those times where comic writers should take notes cause tournament arcs in manga are superior. more

Art is really great here.
But the writing is all over the place

I usually love Tini's writing but the only good thing here is the art.

Wait, this is a joke right? RIGHT? The mutant series were not stopped for this... RIGHT?

Excuse me?

So much for a fight and it lats 2 pages. LOL

After all the buildup for the tournament, this was astonishingly lame. So it turns out all those great swords are pointless because this is just some weird tournament with made-up rules where you can score a point by marrying someone. Heh.

The next contests in Wolverine aren't any better. This has severely deflated my interest in the X of Swords event.
