Reading this "first" issue, I saw Jurgens's experience with the character. The tension between these two Supermen is great: pre-52 Superman still believes Lex is evil and the second one doesn't trust his opponent. Patrick Zircher illustrates the confrontation of the heroes very skillfully. The cliffhanger is not surprising but still very exiting for the next issues, which I'm looking forward to.

Like in the previous issue, Jurgens shows how much he understands these characters. The characterization is great, especially for Lex. This issue contains more action than reflexion, which is logical because of the presence of Doomsday. It's only the beginning of the story arc and I fear the rest of it will only be fights.

This issue disappointed me a bit, because I was really waiting for it. This arc was amazing and very well written. But finally, not much happens and no important questions is answered. The teasing from the mysterious "watcher" becomes too much heavy. The resolution is too classic and simple. Overall, Dan Jurgens is still showing all his expertise on Superman and references his early work on the character. The art is good but I prefer the last two artists on the title. I will read the next two parts story about Clark Kent and then I will maybe drop the series.

Who is Clark Kent? It's the biggest question of the series. I was waiting for the answer and I didn't get it. Without giving any spoiler, the revelation is rather disappointing. Nevertheless, once the question is (somewhat) answered, we get a satisfying conclusion.

This arc seems rather classic, but I enjoy it, because there isn't the boring and endless teasing about Mr. Oz or the other Clark Kent. Tyler Kirkham's art is really neat. Also, I find it's a good idea to use John as a background character. His addition is quite nice.

This arc doesn't stop getting better! Dan Jurgens' great experience on Superman can be found as much in the story as in the characterizations of the protagonists. Also, the team-up between Superman and Lex Luthor works very well, specially at the end of the issue. This arc is a really nice surprise. It's original and interesting. There's only one issue left and I'm eager to know what will happen with Lex!

For me, they're too much.

I'm more interested in Superwoman's disability than second Clark Kent's mystery, because this second one still doesn't move forward. I'm really waiting for answers in the next issue, because it's becoming really lengthy. Moreover, I'm eager to know what will become of Superwoman. Unusually, the art is quite weak in this issue. Many facial expressions are odd and some pages are a bit overloaded.

After being disappointed by the first part, I didn't expect much from this one, but this issue is way better. Dan Jurgens and the artists manage to craft a quite creepy comic. The end is terrifying and also very intriguing. Second Clark Kent keeps becoming more mysterious, and I'm loving that! However, Superwoman's problem isn't really resolved. I know that it will be in her own series but, for me, her part is useless in this issue. Everything is finally moving forward and I'm very excited for "Superman Reborn"!

Fortunately, this issue doesn't waste pages by recapping the events Superman Reborn, it shows the new situation of the protagonist from the first scene. Also, the return of Clark Kent at the Daily Planet is quite enjoyable. It's a nice issue. Overall, I'm excited by the return of the main villains in the next arc and we're finally getting closer to the answers of the big mysteries! Ian Churchill's art is neat and I'm glad that he's one of the artists of the series.

This issue is way better than I expected! The new origin of Superman is successful, coherent and comprehensible. We get to revisit the most important parts of his history and it's really well-done. It's also interesting to notice how Dan Jurgens re-writes some stories that he wrote himself. There are many enjoyable references, like the destruction of Coast City with Green Lantern. I'd preferred though to get the whole history in one single issue. This short Superman Reborn Aftermath arc is pretty nice and I'm enthusiast for the return of the Revenge Squad! Carlo Barberi's art is nice but not as neat as Ian Churchil's in last issue. However, it's a shame that they put his name instead of Carlo's in the cover.

The story moves slowly but it's really enjoyable, it's maybe the most promising arc of the series. The Revenge Squad's members are great characters and, for me, the team is a perfect threat for the title. This series is genial because, even if it's an "action comic", it's very-well written and Dan Jurgens knows absolutely Superman's universe. Patrick Zircher's art was a bit weak last time but it became great again!

A slow but enjoyable first chapter of an arc which seems interesting. The reason of her anger is too simple in my opinion though.

Dec 7, 2016

For me, this arc is a failure, because it isn't a real "Enemy of the state" story. The problem isn't that Tom Taylor writes a different story, the problem is that Laura isn't really an enemy. The story is more based on her origin story, and it's quite clumsy. But the biggest disappointment is the art. David Lopez, that drew the beginning of the series, was much better. It's the first time that I want to drop a series in the middle of an arc.

The arc began with a bold new direction and a really original story but this issue is weaker than last part. For me, Laura's characterization is sometimes rather failed. Also, the plot is weak and too simple: a new character arrives and arranges everything. However, I quite enjoy how Tom Taylor uses plenty of famous characters. Last issue made me regain faith in the series but I still don't know if I'll continue to read it: the next few issues will be decisive.

I didn't expect much of the issue, so I wasn't disappointed. The plot isn't very original, but the idea of the team-up is quite fun. Also, the beginning is rather confused but, after a few pages, the reading becomes more fluid. But, for me, a big problem of this series is that they are always reminding us that Laura isn't Logan. It's becoming too repetitive. The art is neat with great colors.

Aquaman Vol. 1: The Drowning

Apr 30, 2017

Aquaman is a midly interesting character and that's for me the biggest problem on his comics. While some authors, like Geoff Johns, managed skillfully to make him bad-ass and complex, other authors, like Dan Abnett, can't write extraordinary stories. The problem here isn't the author, it's the restricted capacity of the protagonist.
The idea of Aquaman as "an enemy of the state" is interesting but too déjà-vu. Another thing that bothers me is the return of Black Manta because, with Ocean Master, they're the only villains of the protagonist and I feel like the modern authors don't create new villains. Also, Black Manta's characterization is too close to the Joker (he says that he has a unique relationship with Aquaman but they'll never kill each other because they live for revenge). However, the subplot of N.E.M.O. (the organization is really called like this) is getting intriguing and I'm curious to know what part they'll occupy in the story. The last issue of the volume is better than the others. It proposes a great confrontation between the king of Atlantis and Superman and it shows the many differences between them.
For me, this is one of the series that suffered most from the bi-mensual publication. They promised Brad Walker as the artist of the series but he only draws two issues over 6. His art is great and fits very-well with the character and I'd like that he draws more issues. Scot Eaton, who draws the Rebirth one-shot, is correct without being exceptional but Phillipe Briones' art is really ugly. It isn't bad but the faces are hideous and the bodies are incorrect.

Aquaman: Rebirth #1

I enjoyed the new "political" approach to Aquaman, who worries about peace between the land and Atlantis. This Rebirth title shows us the style of the series and not really the beginning of the story, and I think that all these Rebirth one-shot should be like that.

For the moment, I'm rather disappointed by this crossover, because it isn't what I expected. There are just a few monster men and Batman isn't doing anything, except driving his moto. Also, last issue's cliff-hanger has quickly been solved. There are some great moments, like Batman in a Clayface armor. At least Riley Rossmo's art fits perfectly, brings a creepy atmosphere and the looks of the monster men are very original. The cross-over would be so much better if he was drawing all the issues.

I really didn't expect much of this story, mainly because I never appreciated Batman's romantic relationship with Catwoman, but this was before Tom King. I enjoyed how he brings his unique storytelling to this fascinating love story and shows a different aspect of Batman, his human side. As always, Tom King uses forgotten Batman villains as much as possible and, obviously, Kite Man is back. It's the first time I read a comic drawn by Mitch Gerads and I loved it very much, particularly how he illustrates the motions of the characters with white lines. This issue is a real success and I hope that the second part of the story will be too!

Some people criticize this series because of Batman's characterization, Catwoman's portrayal and Tom King's storytelling. I think they are wrong. This series is something unique. No author has ever done something like that on this character. I've never thought that Batman could be written like this, being in love with Catwoman and doing everything he can to save her. But one of Tom King's greatest talents is his storytelling: elegant and innovative every issue. Also, as always in his comics, there's much humor and very fun moments. I specially enjoyed when Gordon's talking to himself in the mirror. Moreover, Stephanie Hans' covers capture perfectly the atmosphere of the comic. Now, thanks to Tom King, I became a fan of Batman's romantic relationship with Catwoman!

Captain America Vol. 1: Castaway in Dimension Z Book 1

Dec 24, 2016

I have never read a comic like this before! I had never read a Captain America series before because I felt like all his stories were the same and I'm not interested in that kind of book. But this series offers another kind of comic, it's sci-fi, my favorite genre of fiction. The story is original and well-built. But, for me, the best part of the series is Rick Remender's writing: his characterization of Captain America is brilliant and his narration through his thoughts is perfect. The cliff-hanger is so terrible that I wanted to buy the second volume at the moment that I finished reading the first one. Regarding the art, I'm not a big fan of Romita Jr's in general. Here, he seems rather inspired and delivers a unique atmosphere to the title. All the backgrounds of Dimension Z are detailed. Also, the art wouldn't be so great without Dean White's sparkling colors.

Captain America Vol. 2: Castaway in Dimension Z Book 2

Jan 31, 2017

I'm really not a fan of John Romita Jr. While I was positively surprised in the first volume, the art here is totally different, and it's ugly. The problem is that the style changes every issue because there are many different inkers and colorists, so it's very inconsistent. Sometimes it's fine and sometimes it's too detailed and unreadable. I have no idea why. Maybe Romita hadn't enough time to draw. The art is a huge letdown in this volume.
Fortunately, Rick Remender is a real master! As always, the characterization of the protagonist is perfect and the narration is interesting and innovative. The story is full of surprises and of twists. There is no boring moment. For me, what he's doing with Captain America is unique. I loved this long story arc, but it would have been way better with another artist. The ending is incredible and I'm tremendously excited for the next volumes!

Captain America Vol. 3: Loose Nuke

Apr 11, 2017

Rick Remender continues to develop Captain America as no one! Here, what I really enjoyed is the political message. It's relevant and very interesting, and even more true in our days. There is no real story arc though: there are just teasings for the next volumes, and that's the main problem for me. Nuke is a perfect antagonist for Cap's ideas but his part in the plot is too short. The next villain that the story is teasing, the Iron Nail, isn't appealing at all. Hopefully, Captain America's characterization is still excellent and I want to know where the story is going.
The new artist, Carlos Pacheco, is correct but some faces are odd. I preferred the other artist, Nic Klein, who draws only an issue. I hope that the series will quickly get a great and regular artist because it could get even better!

Civil War II #7

Nov 27, 2016

I don't rate this series because, even if I can't stand it, I don't want to look like a hater and my opinions only affect me. I won't talk about the main story but about something really important that Marvel did in this issue.
For me, the very existence of this event is unjustified and I never enjoyed Bendis' works. I thought that killing Hulk was the worst thing that could ever happen in Marvel, but it wasn't. This time, they've gone too far. Marvel had another terrible idea: to use Old Man Logan as if it were canon. All the charm of Mark Millar's masterpiece is that it takes place in a whole different universe that we discover throughout the story and, there, the author can do anything he wants to. This comic wasn't created to be canon. This is, in my opinion, one of Marvel's best comics. But, now, the events that happen in Earth-616 also happened in Old Man Logan's universe, and that changes everything. If Logan knows about this civil war, then it also happened in an alternate reality that was invented before, and the events of the Old Man Logan comic will happen in Earth-616.
In general, I believe that Marvel is heading into a terrible direction and this is the straw on the camel's back. They're killing the first heroes, starting over and replacing them by younger versions. It's the entire opposite of DC's Rebirth. The remaining Marvel series I read are those which aren't influenced by important events, like Moon Knight and Squirrel Girl. This is why I love those two characters, why they are special: they are far from the civil wars.

Mar 29, 2017

When I read the first issue of Future Quest, I noticed that Space Ghost was very close to Green Lantern. I thought that a cross-over would really please me. Well, here we are!
This issue is remarkably original. The interactions between those two space-policemen is definitely the best part of the issue and both characterizations are successful. The art is also incredible and peculiar. It fits well with the tone and the environments of story. Now, the only thing I could ask for is a Space Ghost solo series!

I was really waiting for this issue because Martian Manhunter is one of my favorite super-heroes and I've always been a fan of Marvin. Finally, this one-shot is totally empty and the story is practically nonexistent. There are some rather reflections about J'onn's role though, but it could have been even more interesting. This issue is just a fun and simple cross-over between two famous martians, with a neat art.

I didn't expect much for this issue but I enormously enjoyed it. This cross-over seemed at the beginning improbable but it's finally well-done and meaningful. It's a parody of the Silver Age's comic-books' tone, and it's really fun. Bugs Bunny's writing is excellent, with his typical but effective humor. The art is a perfect mix between the 60s super-hero stories and the Looney Tunes' style. However, the back-up is pointless in my opinion, because it's the same story but with less fun jokes.

Green Arrow Vol. 1: Life & Death Of Oliver Queen

Jan 15, 2017

A brave new chapter in Green Arrow's history! This series' direction is very original, with interesting reflections about the character and a new status quo. Also, the return of the duo Green Arrow/Black Canary is really enjoyable. Moreover, Diggle's role is innovative and he doesn't resembles his TV counterpart. The first issues are quite slow but, after the third one, the plot gets way better paced and more intense.
The art is definitely the most positive aspects of the series! Otto Schimdt delivers an great work and his peculiar style fits perfectly with the atmosphere of the character. But, Juan Ferreyra is the real master here: his pages are gorgeous, the perspectives are outstanding and the colors are dark and neat! I'm excited to see how the story continues in the next volumes which I'm really looking forward to!

Green Lanterns #1

Jun 15, 2016

I had big expectations for this first issue but I was very disappointed. There are some useless dialogues, too much teasing for Atrocitus but nothing really happens. The concept of the team-up is interesting but the relationship between Simon and Jessica can be more developed. The art of Robson Rocha is quite enjoyable but not as epic and beautiful as Ethan Van Sciver's. The Rebirth one-shot promised a bunch of great things and I wonder whether if what lacks in this issue is Geoff Johns or if it's only a #1 and Sam Humphries couldn't do much more. Overall, the series continues respecting Green Lantern's universe and gives us an original threat, so I'm still looking forward to the continuation of the story. Green Lanterns #1 is good and original but I expect more for the next issues.

Green Lanterns #2

Jul 6, 2016

Before reading this issue, I was sadly disappointed by the series. In the first issue, the double narration was confused and useless, the idea of team-up wasn't developed enough and the story didn't really begin. Here, the narration is better. We see how the two rookies are totally different: Jessica is nervous while Simon is brave. The team-up is much better in the way that they don't know how to behave with each one. The story progresses and the cliffhanger is effective. Thanks to this issue, I regained faith in the series and in the author.

Green Lanterns #3

Aug 11, 2016

The series had great potential at the beginning but the story still doesn't move forward and there is the same repetitive narration all over again. Overall, I still want to know how the story, and this first arc, concludes. Also, the series lacks an artistic unity and the double-shipping is to blame. Here, the faces weren't very precise.

Green Lanterns #5

Aug 23, 2016

Even if the plot of the story arc is really original, the series keeps disappointing me. The alternating narrative (Simon's voice, then Jessica's voice, and repeat) becomes heavy, the characterization is déja-vu. In five issues, the story didn't move a lot. I will finish reading this arc because I want to know how the story ends, and then I will sadly drop the series.

Green Lanterns #6

Sep 15, 2016

After the last poor issues, the series gets way better, just not enough to keep my interest in it. The ending is satisfying, the two protagonists finally understand each other, but feels rushed. The upcoming arc, with the mysterious rogue guardian and his phantom ring, isn't appealing. But the real problem of the story is that the main characters really lack interest and charisma, at least not enough to get their own ongoing series in my opinion.

Green Lanterns #16

Feb 1, 2017

I dropped this series after the first arc but I decided to read this short arc, because it seemed quite fun and I love Blackest Night. Unfortunately, I was disappointed again by this series. But this time, the real problem is the interaction between the protagonists and Batman: it's heavy, annoying and still too repetitive (I thought that the mystery about Simon's gun had already been solved but apparently it wasn't). It's what I was looking forward to in this arc but it's ultimately clumsy. Also, the plot is too weak. Otherwise, I really enjoyed the return of one of my favorite ideas of Blackest Night, but how does Batman remember it if it doesn't exist anymore in the continuity? The art is fine but the series has had better artists.

Green Lanterns #17

Feb 16, 2017

It's a little better than last issue but it's still weak. Scarecrow's origin and plan are inconsistent. It really disappointed me because I love when he becomes a yellow lantern in Blackest Night but, here, I don't get the explanations. Besides, Simon's portrayal is much better than before. Now that he finally understands what it means to be a Green Lantern, I hope that he'll get stronger and become a great hero. Overall, this arc wasn't useless but it could have been way better.

Green Lanterns: Rebirth #1

Jun 8, 2016

This issue respects Green Lantern's myth perfectly. We see the first encounter between Jessica and Simon, how they consider teaming-up with someone they don't know. It shows that this series is something new and fresh. The art of Ethan Van Sciver is beautiful so I will miss him, even if the new artists seem great. It's the end of the era by Geoff Johns who redefined Hal Jordan and the beginning of a new exiting one with new characters and threats.

This series is my biggest surprise of the Rebirth relaunch. Green Lantern (more specially Hal Jordan) is my favorite super-hero but I haven't read any good comic of the character since Geoff Johns's excellent run. The "New 52" series by Robert Venditti disappointed me and I was afraid that this series wouldn't change. Now, I recognize the Hal Jordan I love.

Oct 27, 2016

This first arc surprised me quite a lot and showed me once again why Hal is the my favorite super-hero. The whole battle is incredible and there are some impressive scenes, but Sinestro's voice sometimes sounds improper. The last pages of Hal and Sinestro's conflict are rather surprising and also exhibit the might of the protagonist. I'm looking forward to the next arc, which seems great, with the return of some classic characters. One of the most positive aspects of the entire series is the art: clear, detailed and colorful. This series is one of my favorite from the Rebirth relaunch.

Also, the artistic team delivers an incredible work, far better than the artwork from the end of the New 52 series.

The best issue of the arc! The fight between the green and yellow corps versus Larfleeze is incredible, one of the best moments of the whole series. Hal's characterization is excellent. In this series, I finally recognize my favorite hero and his universe because Robert Vendiiti comes back to the roots, reintroducing many lost characters. In the end, there are emotional reflections about the protagonist and his life after his father's death. Ethan Van Sciver's art is beautiful, even better than before. I'm really excited for the next arc!

It's the best issue of Green Lantern since New 52 series' masterful Green Lantern #20! Here, Robert Venditti develops the power of emotions in a unique way and shows us why the Green Lantern Corps, and its allies, are heroes. Also, I'm very intrigued by the teasings for the future of the title. I hope that the fans who left the series will come back, because this is one of my favorite series at the moment. As the new artist of the series, Ken Marion, he creates pretty good pages with a distinctive style. He's a great addition to this title's fantastic artistic team!

Hal Jordan And The Green Lantern Corps #15

Feb 23, 2017

This issue is quite heterogeneous: the main story of the Blue Lantern isn't so interesting in and really doesn't move forward while the backstory of the yellow lanterns is original, innovative and very enjoyable. Also, Guy Gardner's portrayal is successful once again. Ethan Van Sciver's art is still epic and incredible but the pages are sometimes overloaded.

8.0
Hal Jordan And The Green Lantern Corps #16

Mar 8, 2017

This arc is full of great ideas but it's, in my opinion, the weakest of the series because it lacks of a real plot and the issues are somewhat disconnected from each other. The quest for the blue lanterns and the team-up with the yellow lanterns don't really move forward. Otherwise, I love Venditti's characterization of Guy Gardner in this series! Also, the cliff-hanger is very surprising and unexpected but I hope that the "problem" won't be solved rapidly in the first pages of the next issue.

I never enjoyed Kyle as a White Lantern so I'm glad he's back to the roots. It's another example of how the series totally embraces the mythology of the characters. Also, the mystery of the ring and hope is interesting. But, still, this arc was too inconsistent in the quality of the writing and the issues were quite disconnected from each other. Overall, now that all the situation is set, I'm really excited for the next sci-fi/time travel arc!

Also, I really enjoy the duo Guy Gardner/Arkillo. Anyway, I'm glad that they first showed the cover with White Lantern Kyle Rayner to avoid spoilers and then replaced it with the Green Lantern suit.

I'm a big fan of time-travel stories so I'm quite enjoying this arc. The vision of the future is rather cheesy but definitely interesting.

A rather disappointing issue, because the final is extremely quick and the problem is too easily resolved. Also, Krona's gauntlet which has acquired a conscious is a weak villain.

Justice League of America (2017): Rebirth #1

Feb 9, 2017

I really didn't expect much from this series but I was very positively surprised! I was afraid by the composition of the team because it seemed quite heterogeneous to me. Ultimately, each member has its place and the main direction of the title is interesting. Overall, the narrative structure of the issue is rather classic but it's not a problem because it's a Rebirth one-shot. The teasings at the end of the issue aren't so appealing, except Atom's one, which is intriguing. The duo Ivan Reis/Joe Prado delivers an excellent work. In a nutshell, this issue made me want to read the series.

Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #1

Dec 22, 2016

An excellent introduction! In general, I'm not a fan of the Suicide Squad but, here, Joshua Williamson writes these characters skillfully. The confrontation, and then the team-up, between the two teams is incredible. Not much happened in the issue but it gave me faith in the author and in the event. I also enjoyed the third team with its chief, who is a villain I love. My only disappointment is that his identity has been revealed by the editor in the previews. Jason Fabok's art is, as usual, spectacular and detailed.

8.0
Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #2

Dec 30, 2016

I was a bit disappointed by this issue, specially because I loved the introduction. But I don't lose faith. The problem of the issue is that it isn't very entertaining. There are some very nice battles, like Flash and Boomerang, some fun ones, like Aquaman and Croc, and others that I didn't enjoyed at all, like Wonder Woman and Harley. Something I appreciate very much in this event is the characterization of the protagonists. Each member of the Suicide Squad and the Justice League has his or her own moment. But, for me, the real positive aspect of the series is that the members of the Squad don't look like their movie versions, as it could have been. There is also the plot with Maxwell Lord's third team that didn't move a lot forward, but I'm still eager to know what they're planning. Overall, the series is a quite enjoyable block-buster, but I feel there's something missing. Maybe it's Katana. Where is she? She's my favorite member of the Suicide Squad! Concerning the artist of the issue, Tony Daniel, he delivers, without any surprise, an excellent work. So far, the art is great and I hope that it will stay that way.

6.5
Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #3

Jan 7, 2017

The rhythm of the issue is too disjointed: there are fights which can be read fast and just after that, there are long and quite pointless presentations and explanations. Otherwise, the characterization of every character is superb. The cliff-hanger of last issue is revealed to be false and the one of this issue really didn't affect me. Even if I want to see both teams interact with Maxwell Lord's one, I'm afraid about the plot of next issues because they aren't just going to fight for 3 issues. At least Katana appeared, but just in three pages. Overall, I'm a great fan of the third team, with its strong and original members, and I hope that they'll come back one day after this event. Even if the series is still rather enjoyable, I would like things to finally begin. Concerning the artist of the issue, Jesus Merino, he delivers a classic and solid work, but I prefer the last artists.

7.5
Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #4

Jan 11, 2017

It's better than the last issue, because the story finally moves forward and the fight sequences are great. But, for me, the real problem of the series is Joshua Williamson's heavy and repetitive dialogues. Also, some moments sometimes lack of finesse, like the reference for [spoiler]. Since the beginning of the series, they have been teasing the third team all over again but, without giving any spoiler, it quickly left the fight in this issue. It's quite a shame because I loved it and I was getting excited! The event is still rather enjoyable: the characterizations are, as always, excellent, the plot is quite original and there is Katana. I hope that the two last issues won't disappoint me. Concerning the artist of the issue, Fernando Pasarin, he delivers a good work with some incredible splash pages.

7.5
Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #5

Jan 19, 2017

This issue is more enjoyable to read than last ones because the problem of the pace is almost fixed and the story moves forward a lot! Except for that, the plot is rather weak and there is some kind of laziness in the writing. There are still points I love in this issue: Lobo's introduction is done skillfully, the parallelism between the two battles of the two teams is brilliant and the cliff-hanger is interesting. Also, I appreciated that last issue's one wasn't fixed quickly. This issue intrigued me very much and I'm surprisingly eager to see how the event conclude. Concerning the artist of the issue, Robson Rocha, his art is great, better than the few last ones! However, I don't like the way he draws Harley Quinn that much.

8.0
Justice League vs. Suicide Squad #6

Jan 25, 2017

It is a solid conclusion. It isn't perfect but I enjoyed it more than I expected. The final confrontation with Eclipso is well done and isn't rushed as it could have been. But I don't get why Killer Frost is so important in the main story. The best surprise of the whole event is Lobo: his characterization and his entrance in the team are great. I was really afraid about his role but, ultimately, I loved him. Also, I'm interested by the members of Maxwell Lord's team, who I hope will all come back. The ending is surprising and teases something that seems new and original. What annoyed me most in this issue is that there's too much teasing for the future JLA series. Concerning the artist of the issue, Howard Porter, he's got an incredible and peculiar style. He's one of the most talented artists who worked on the series.
To conclude about this event, it was surprisingly good and I enjoyed it very much. It's the foundation for the future of Rebirth and it excited me for the upcoming JLA series. The art was, in general, neat but I would have preferred that all the issues were drawn by the same artist.

As a new story arc begins for this excellent series, Jeff Lemire doesn't stop surprising me. For me, the fact that Marc directs a Marvel movie about himself is one of the greatest ideas so far. The story takes a unexpected turn, and more mysteries emerge. The idea of the different artists for each personality also really works perfectly because every art style combines masterfully with its bit of the story. Here, as the major artist of the issue, Willfredo Torres' style is very realistic and gives his scenes a special look. The cliff-hanger is very surprising but is too different to the tone of the rest of the issue.

An idea that really works in this arc is the multiple-artist system, they're all talented but Greg Smallwood is definitely the best.

After reading issue nine, I wanted to lower the rating of other issues, because it was really better than the others. Now, I want to lower issue nine's rating. This series is already perfect and it keeps getting better!
Jeff Lemire explores Marc's most interesting aspects: his multiple personalities and his origin. For me, the first pages of this issue are among the best I have ever read. I really enjoy how Jeff Lemire puts many references to the series' previous story arcs, like young Marc drawing a spaceman fighting werewolves, and to the eighties culture. Also, the author develops the relationship between Marc and Steven Grant masterfully. I hope that the writer will exploit the parallelism between Khonshu and the fact that Marc is jewish, it would be something no one has ever done before with the character. The ending is incredible when everything turns (literally) upside-down. Greg Smallwood comes back with his unique style, his insane backgrounds and his simplistic yet terribly expressive faces. This series is becoming one of my favorite comic-books ever!

Jeff Lemire is continuing his remarkable and memorable run of Moon Knight but it used to be better. I love the protagonist, the author and the artist but this arc is sometimes rather uninspired and predictable to me. Even if there are excellent ideas, like the team-up of the Marc's personalities, we (probably) already know where the arc is going. In the first two arcs, my jaw dropped every issue. Overall, the best part of the story is the flash-backs and how Jeff Lemire rewrites the origin and all the myth of the character. Now, I'm ready for the conclusion of probably my favorite series ever!

Moon Knight (2016) #14

Jun 1, 2017

The only word I could use to describe this issue is "beautiful". Marc’s last speech is emotive and the character is finally happy with his life. He’s considerably evolved in the series: it was his death and his rebirth. This conclusion is the culmination of everything the author has introduced from the beginning and it's enough for me.
This last arc is a bit less inspired. The flash-backs are definitely the most interesting part and they are always enjoyable, specially in this issue how they interact with the present. However, the main plot is rather deconstructed and I feel like it didn’t really move in the first parts. But finally, the ending is great and it didn't let me down.
Even if the writing is excellent, what makes the comic even better is Greg Smallwood’s art. He gives a unique aspect to the comic-book, with incredible visual ideas and well-expressed faces. He’s one of the few artists who could have drawn this. Also, his covers are truly the best I've ever seen. Jordie Bellaire’s colors are splendid and Cory Petit’s lettering is fantastic.
Before reading this series, I didn’t know Moon Knight. I picked-up the first issue because Jeff Lemire is one of my favorite authors. It immediately mesmerized me, because I had never read a story like this before. I just don’t have words to describe how I loved this series. It’s always innovative, with new ideas each issue. The cliff-hangers were among the most mind-blowing I’ve ever read. The author was constantly improving and, at some point, the series couldn’t be better. In 14 issues, he never disappointed me.
Now, Moon Knight is my favorite Marvel super-hero, Greg Smallwood is one of my favorite artists and this series is one of my favorite comic-books. Thank you Jeff, Greg and Jordie for this masterpiece: it changed my life as a reader.

Even if Jeff Lemire is one of my favorite writers, I was afraid to be disappointed by this new series, because Thanos is a very complex character. I loved it. Lemire's direction is definitely interesting. He reminds why Thanos is one of the most evil and fascinating comic book villains of all times. Mike Deodato surprised me, because I usually don't like his art. The colors are neat and the faces are expressive. The page layouts really provide this series a distinctive look.

I read this series as a trade but I still decided to buy and have this special issue.
Excellent, as always! Once again, the story is hilarious and Ryan North's notes beneath the pages are great. The issue is full of easter eggs, but my favorite of all is the "It's clobberin' time" clock! It's also very enjoyable to see Doreen through the ages, from her childhood to her 20th birthday. Will Murray's part is a nice addition, specially how he references the first apparition of the character. This issue is, for me, the best of this incredible series!
