This was a poorly paced issue. It was slow moving, predictable, and boring. The art isnt Acunas best either. Storm was hard to look at. I will give this series this, it reads better in trade.

The Symbiote, which is what I should just call it since it is obvious it doesnt have the body of NJadaka in it anymore. We saw last issue the Symbiote possessing an unsuspecting security guard in the capital city. Now it seems to have walked all the way to Chanagamires house.

I understand that lovers of the early 90's run of Ghost Rider may find more value in this one-shot, and maybe if I didn't have so many unanswered questions floating around in my head from last series I would have been more open to some more questions and characters. But honestly I can find no value in brining back the Ghost Rider known as Vengeance when Cosmic Ghost Rider seems way cooler, but is pretty much the same character.

The writing was basic, flat, and cliche'. I'm a fan of Brisson but this was an issue about Lilith and I feel like I got a Wikipedia entry that was hollow and shallow.

In the last issue you had Wolverine slaughtering many men, blood everywhere. You had him going against Wendigo and that was a brutal fight, (with blood everywhere), Hydra agents (with blood everywhere), would be assassins (with blood everywhere). It wasn't just blood they used to highlight the red. They put it in foreground, background, the surround sound everywhere. Plus the stories in last issue felt fresh. These stories felt like the same old recycled material that have plagued Mutant lead titles for awhile before Dawn of X.

There are some intriguing story elements here that can be built upon, hopefully Soule takes advantage of them.

This is another issue that felt just a little forced at the beginning, but once you turn into the slide just a little bit it can be quite enjoyable. It really comes down to the cliffhanger. Lately Soule has really been delivering interesting cliffhangers again. I wouldn't mind a long story line with this status quo continually being the underlining plot going forward.

Charles Soule continues his systematic destruction of the characters I enjoyed at the beginning of his run on Daredevil. One can only hope this is the precursor to his leaving the title for good.

There have been way too many leaps in logic for my taste in this arc. Also, too many moments where you just have to fill in the blanks yourself. I love Garney's art, but frankly, he is not using a style impressive enough to help the nonsense being written in this title.

Some life has been injected into this book! I want to sing it to the heavens. Whether it was Soule having fewer comics to write (which I think that was temporary) or it was Mike Henderson coming on the book I don't know but this book has gotten good again. It has energy and intrigue again. It has me saying buy this comic again.

I really like this issue. There is beautiful art work with a lot of action going on every page. I'm still not a fan of Arno's clunky gear armor but that is what it is. The Story moves by at a generous clip and even though it seems like this is beginning of another end for Tony Stark I look forward to see what comes next and I have not been able to say that about this comic in awhile.

Pete Wood's art is pretty good but I think the story itself hurts the issue. Most of the time there is a lot of stuff going on in the background but the subject matter keeps it homogeneous. When we get a little breathing room in the VR world with the white background, your eyes get a bit of respite but there is so much dialogue that it makes your eyes hurt in a whole other way.

JUST ONE MORE ISSUE LEFT THANK YOU JESUS! Because Dan Slott seems like he just wanted to come on to this series to redesign characters, like putting lipstick on a pig. Some a little, some a lot, some unnoticeably, but he is not giving us a good story. Both of the volumes of Iron Man he has written have been the equivalent of a snake eating its own tail. Next thing we know the armor its self is going to have its own crisis of identity and begin sounding like a high football player at a frat party asking himself out loud in a faux philosophical tone, "Whoa Man! Am I even real"I mean man"I know I'm here but am I really real? You know what I mean Man." The art is nice except whenever we see anything that resembles an Iron Man.

I am a little torn on this issue. It read well, dialogue had no issues. It was pretty basic though. One could almost say you could probably skip this issue and you wouldnt miss much. Tony is worried about Nat. Walter is a good dude, his grandfather wasnt. And Nate wants to balance somethings she did in the past. The cliffhanger has me scratching my head. Was this Natasha? The art wasnt anything to get excited about. There was a couple panels that looked great, and Mooney can draw a beautiful female. But I couldnt help to feel like this could have been tightened up a little. On all levels: cover, interior art, inks and colors.

I have been enjoying the main event book and the Doctor Strange tie-ins. There seems to be to many characters in this story and not everyone has something worth while to do. I believe Kudranski's art was stronger last issue but still over all enjoyable. The other tie-in issues have not been that enjoyable nor do they add to the over all story in my opinion. Having said that, after the cliffhanger at the end of this issue I am very curious what Damnation: Johnny Blaze Ghost Rider has in store for us.

I was so excited for this little crossover mini-event at the beginning and at the end, I wish I didn't waste my time. The balance that a team a book needs to have was just not here. It really seemed like the team didn't even matter, and the tie-ins were awful. The art was okay when hell was reigning in Las Vegas but after in the hurray point of the book, it felt uninspired. I left this event only enjoying the Doctor Strange book.

The art and colors are quality, the best part of this title, in my opinion. The story has, as of yet, not justified the purpose for this title. I really like all the characters in this title and I find the cliffhanger intriguing enough to read issue two, but I cant at this point encourage anyone to buy this comic. It just feels to much like padding to extend my he Iron Man 2020 story out farther than it should be.

This is a fast moving issue. You get many Characters thrown at you from the nineties. I didn't know many of them but it did not inhibit my enjoyment of the book. Will Sliney is a very capable artist, but his art falls a little short when it comes to conveying movement. It is still gorgeous to look at work though. 

Peter David continues his 90's web weaving in Las Vegas by elevating the danger levels, by adding a known psychopath!!...well...sometimes you have to burn a city to the ground before you can rebuild it. This issue moved a long swiftly and nostalgically sending me down another whimsical wikipedia whirlpool that sucked away hours of my life, and that is not counting the hours more I will spend reading the material in question on The App. 

I think Jim Zub is playing it a little safe here. Maybe a little too safe. These heroes are already battle tested and he seems to dumb them down a little too much in my opinion. I can understand he wants to do that to allow for growth and suspense. The art is gorgeous it reminds me of watching the Ultimate Spider-man cartoon. Cho seems a little de-aged and written slightly out of character a little too much of a corny hipster in my opinion. Once Jim gets these characters voices down a little more I think this will be a great comic.

This issues is not as great as its predecessors in my opinion, but it is still an excellent addition to the overall story. The story scope and imagination utilized, in this series, is always top notch. If you want to get Lost in Space and like it, DANGER! Will Robinson you have found the title that will do it for you.

The pencils and colors are just lovely. It really evokes emotion in great places like the melancholy scene with Carol all alone on the ship and the end with Carol's smiling sacrifice. This issue reads really well also. Leaving the art to do the talking when it needs to make this a really good one-shot, but I just don't feel this story does enough original storytelling to justify purchasing or recommending this book to a friend. It's just a basic end of the world story, insert tropes here, mention some cool survivors here, heroes sacrifice The End send to print. The Art truly saves this book from going below a 7.

This is made for Machine Man fanatics! Only problem is I don't know any. I'm not a hater either. One of my first comics was Iron Man Annual #11 a Machine Man appearance and I read it till the cover fell off and then bought it again. I like the guy he even has my first name. I just think the over all 2020 concept is being a little forcefully spoon feed to us as an insider deep dive and no one is handing out any cliff notes.

I really like this series, but I think the Sue and Johnny Storm bits of these last two issues out shined Black Cat and her team a bit. I'm left wanting Jed Mackay writing a Fantastic Four book (not completely a bad thing). I had a lot of fun reading this issue and really appreciated the abundance of onomatopeia from Delgado, but I really think the art was a little hurried here. Faces were not as well defined as previously. Just the line work over all didn't seem as tight as previous issues.

Going into this comic I felt Waid had an up hill battle right off the bat. He is following probably some of the best Doctor Strange stories written in ten years with Aaron, Hopeless, and Cates. Plus it feels a bit similar to all of them because yet again Strange is de-powered. This time he has no powers at all and he is stuck on a strange planet and that is the only thing keeping my interest. The art was was good but not as energetic as we once had and same can be said of the story. Sadly this issue had me pretty bored and depressed.

Whew, I literally expelled air when Kanna was introduced to this story and then I inhaled smiled and continued smiling till the end. The art is just fantastic by Jesus Saiz. Mark Waid had me as depressed as possible. I almost couldn't take it anymore and then we changed direction completely. The colors came back to the story the energy came back and I'm glad I stayed with it. 

The story is very cinematic in nature. Your eyes move through the story effortlessly. The tension has been raised every issue and the dialogue rings true to the characters involved. The art is nothing to write home about but it adds all it needs to add to the story.

It's a competent story with quality art but honestly it would have been better if it came out before Empyer#1. It would not have made it more exciting or entertaining but it might have had a chance to generate some emotion from just its placement in the overall event. I applaud the effort but frown at the outcome.

This was the most enjoyable, needed, and the best-written issue of Empyre thus far for me. I feel a connection to the villains now and a deeper connection between Mantis and Quoi. The art served the story very well with detailed backgrounds and great panel to panel progression. The sad personal stories Mantis told her son I found heartwarming and heartbreaking. Especially the flashback scene to Quoi's childhood. I for one will be keeping my eye out for any comics written by Alex Paknadel he has some kind of Je ne sais Quoi about him I like.

Coates has defiantly improved on his storytelling. I read the first three issues of his run on this title and it was not poorly written by any standards but the message that Coates was trying to convey was just slightly muddled and meandering. Having read this last arc I look forward to going back and giving the rest of this story a closer look.  I really have enjoyed Leonard Kirk's art it reminds me of 90's Green Arrow Art with its heavy shadowing and inking but with a much crisper coloring job over the top of it. I am really hyped to read Black Panther in Space next.

It doesnt work because Star has already infected the whole city with the kree virus and is now feeding off of everyone. (insert maniac laughter here) Also as Carol lays crippled on the ground Star whispers her secret identity or at least enough clues for Carol to whisper it…

The story is slowly filling in the mystery of Vox and his machinations but with the almost guaranteed fight scenes in each issue it really keeps the adrenaline up. Garbett and Bonvillain are a match made in heaven they hit the perfect balance of comic/realism. I have to say though if it wasn't for this semi- down moment in the beginning where the characters just got to talk to each other for a minute I would have tired of the whole hit'em hard and fast approach Carol has to take with the Avengers.

It is kind of what I was afraid of, this issue felt very much like the last three but a little less. There was very little joking. There was very little new information given. The art and colors continue to be stellar. The action sequences are still very well realized and thought out, but this was just a down issue. There isn't enough going on in this story to make every issue interesting. I am still really liking this arc and can't wait to see how it wraps up.

I truly loved this quick one and done issue. Just some friends playing some games until a NEW Villain pops in to give them something to escape from, and possibly seeding his reappearance in future issues to come. I also think Francesco Manna's art will fit in beautifully with the artists that came before. This left me smiling with warmth in my heart and sometimes that's all you need to get through the next Event.

I liked this issue for the most part. The Art is visually interesting to look at the whole way through and beautifully drawn. The story flows nicely and doesn't get to bogged down in this Empyre B.S. It defiantly doesn't feel like a dramatic change from what we were getting before so that is awesome. This is the first issue that had an Empyre tag on it that I liked and it had a very interesting cliffhanger that I need to see play out.

I really enjoy the fact that we get to revisit this future timeline, because it gives Captain Marvel a world completely without any continuity hangups to get in the way. It's like an in continuity WHAT IF" comic, or reverse Old Man Logan giving many opportunities for new characters and challenges.

This was an OK issue. Carol and her team did too many stupid things just to progress the plot in my opinion. I thought the Flashback art by Ortega looked better than Garbett's for some reason and I love Garbett's art normally. He just doesn't seem to be hitting on all cylinders for me on this arc, not like he was on the Last Avenger arc. It might be because everything feels like we are just walking around in an apocalyptic hell. This issues story was just too predictable it was frustrating. I was yelling at the page like some cheesy 80's horror movie, “NO DON”T GO IN THERE WHAT ARE YOU DOING!”

This issue ended really strong. It helped me ignore the fill in the blanks monologuing that came from Enchantress and Ove. I felt a lot of that was unnecessary because I thought Kelley Thompson and Lee Garbett conveyed or implied that enough last issue. I really hope we can spend more time in this timeline it is really getting my imagination going. I am also really excited about next issue because of the fireworks that are about to be on display will really make Garbett's art shine.

Must Be Captain America Reborn!! I like this book It totally feels like this is where the next writer should take over even though it's not. I suggest buying it especially if you're curious what Captain America is really about. 

A Beautifully rendered brawl that will touch your ocular G spot in all the right places. DOOM is coming!

Final Thoughts: We are on two of six of this arc and my emotions and anticipation have been throttled around like a bowling pin in a washing machine already. I swear on the Church of Truth that this issue and the last issue are Guardian of the Galaxy books you will want to buy.

Welcome to the Thunder Dome Rapture style. This is a fast paced captivating read that has left my head swirling and it brought a movie slogan to my mind. It is everything youve dreamed of. It is nothing you expect. With art and colors that are just phenomenal but a villain with questionable motivations I can only give 

This is a fast-paced issue that at first glance was pretty good. I really have no problem with the art except Peter Quill's face. It always seemed a bit off. The story, on the other hand, has become obvious in nature. It is here solely to set up future storylines. Magus is thrown in as the Deus ex machina and is mainly trying to make a boring Thanos series relevant. Guardians the Galaxy is all about the team and we have hardly had any team or teamwork in this whole series. It feels like characters are not used as characters but for their powers only.

Gail has been weaving a pretty interesting story for Domino so far. She has been delving into her past which I know nothing about and I look forward to learning more. She has given her some colorful and interesting friends to play off of and a mystery surrounding them. She has also interwoven some pretty good action and humor. The art and coloring is just gorgeous. My only problem is how similar Domino's story is to X-23 but that still has time to change or go in a different direction.

I am super stoked for this series. I have been missing some Kuder in my life since he stopped being the full-time artist on Guardians of the Galaxy. His phenomenal, bombastic energetic art style is quintessential comic storytelling match it with Jason Keiths vibrant color palette and you can practically feel the heat off the page. Brisson's story with Caramagna's letters flow through this issue at a breakneck pace. This is how a #1 should be done! They even give you an overall breakdown of Hell in the Marvel universe at the end for better understanding. Plus a sample of the art you can expect from the other full-time artist of this series Juan Frigeri.

I have to admit I was worried when I saw all the extra artists names on this issue. But the whole team did a really good job at helping Kuder through this difficult time he is having without overwhelming his art style. This was a fast to read issue, the plot really didn't advance at all but the subterfuge has laced my brain with What If" and sometimes that is all this reader needs.

This issue provides a ton of enjoyment. It has a couple battles that don't overwhelm the issue allowing the good guys to fight but also allowing for conversation. The more concentrated focus on characters I am familiar with probably helped keep me into the story. Johnny Blaze getting power juiced up definitely ramps up the intensity. He is going to need it with all the Baddies that Hell has unleashed, the fury of a woman scorn.

In a series that has had a lot of moving gears to its story, this was a welcomed fight scene. This to me felt like an end to the first chapter of this series, and it left me interested in another. The art, as it is normally on this title, is simply superb. The Fires of Hell never looked so good.

This was a jam packed issue with a lot of spinning plates that kept me mesmerized. With an excellent up grade in Villain Iron Man has remained relevant in a universe covered in darkness, for the time being. Schitis art with Delgado colors amps up the urgency this story is delivering. 

I really like this team. Its a classic team dynamic a smart, stretchy, fiery, clobbering good time every ish Excelsior! Seriously though, eight completely enjoyable issues in a row. It has earned my vote of confidence. Give this team time to grow together and the fans will follow.

Rosenburg is excellent at witty, humorous dialogue, and at making sure that every team member is active in the story. The art team of Garron, Robson, Silva, with Cowls on letters continually give this motion picture quality art as well. This should go to the top of your to be read pile every time it is released.

I am saddened by the news of the cancelization of Secret Warriors. This has been a fun team book. Happily I will review this book till its conclusion. I am also glad to hear Rosenburg is getting another team book after this series, New Mutants. After all the enjoyment I got out of reading this team book, my resolution in buying that mini series is concrete. I hope you do the same.

Questions get answers in this penultimate issue. Some of the transitions between scenes felt a little forced and confusing, but considering how much got packed into this issue its understandable. The art and the writing are still really spot on though. I think this run gives you a really good sample of all the characters involved. Making this a great trade in the future to give to comic lovers and skeptics a like.

I can't say it enough, I Love This Series. It is a crazy Kung Fu, beat up everyone you meet along the way, adventure every time.

This was an okay issue. Somethings just happen because they needed to happen making everything feel a little too convenient for my liking. The big epic fight I expected turned out to be more of a side note. I suspected Constrictor to be a lame character but seriously he just laid down and died with no fight at all. Yet, I am still intrigued and excited to find out more about K'un-Lun.

It's broken record time. Because, yet again I am screaming from the top of the hills how much I love this comic! Brisson, Perkins, Troy, and Lanham thank you for giving me a book I'm consistently excited for every time it comes out. Perkins when he draws a battle scene you literally feel exhausted as if you were in the battle yourself with the number of panels he is able to cram on a page. Brisson's fast-paced and high-intensity scripts are exactly what this comic buyer wants in his comics.

I'm a bit torn on this issue. I really enjoyed, and had fun reading this whole arc. But this ending was pretty predictable. The stakes didn't seem high enough as if the pacing was a little off. Maybe if Danny hadn't telegraphed so obviously he was getting the Dragon at the end of last issue. Or maybe if Danny had left at the beginning of this issue leaving Sparrow and Choshin battling to the death leaving Danny to swoop in at the last moment only affecting the fight against the soldiers. But to have Iron Fist battle Choshin again when Danny had already defeated him easily in the #1, and the dual blades Choshin used seemed completely useless except to tear fabric just seemed to fall short in my eyes.

Moon Girl and Devil Dinosaur is a really fun and light-hearted read. There is so much potential for character growth in this series I look forward to following her for years to come. I loved the idea of injecting the Fantastic Four into this book at the start. By the end though I am glad to see them go their own separate ways. I am just so happy to have Devil Dinosaur back. Beautiful colors and witty charismatic writing really sets this book out as a great comic for all ages. 

This is an excellent comic series that gives you the Peter Parker in school vibe of yesteryear but filtered through the eyes of a Pakistani American girl.  Nico Leon does Adrian Alphona levels of artwork in this book. Its fun teenage angst at its best. I loved this comic when I read it out of context having not read much of this series before. So much so that I went back and immediately started reading Ms. Marvel from the beginning. Then I enjoyed that so much I went and bought G. Willow Wilson's two published novels. The Butterfly Mosque and Alif the Unseen which I look forward to reading this summer on the beach.

This comic uses consistently gorgeous, cover quality, art mixed with a fast paced, action heavy, story to keep the reader excited to purchase it every month. If that isn't enough for you to buy this book. Next month promises to reveal the fall of the Avengers!

While the first issue was excellent in its execution of simple storytelling devices and bringing everyone on board, this issue excels by upping the stakes and layering plot twists with an exceptional craft. Where Jeff Lemire takes us next is anyone's guess but I'm fully on board for this ride.

This issue really hit the sweet spot for me this week. The whole team of creators did a great job. The art was colorful, energetic, violent, and gentle in all the right places. The story had great humor with a premise that is easy to understand and consume. Throw this on your pull list and enjoy the escapism.

This was yet another great issue. I liked last issue a little more though, because we got some really good action sequences with M.O.D.O.K. ripping though a bunch of A.I.M. guys, but with this issue most of the fighting happens off panel and with all the villains that make an appearance in this issue it left me a little disappointed. This issue even without the fight scenes was still fun, interesting, energetic, and colorful.

I am thoroughly enjoying this comic. It is a brutal gorefest dedicated to the loving memory of the past Punisher. All Hail the new Punisher War Machine. The art is gritty and energetic. The story is fast-paced and gripping.

Cory Smith your art WoW just wow this was Awesome. A Man-Thing spliced with a Groot to battle a Hulk spliced with a Wolverine. DO I NEED TO SAY MORE? 

The art in this series is simply impeccable. As if every panel is pulled film clips from the movie. The story every time is fast paced and action packed. It's like you are following around a more intimidating Doctor Doom as he bends this galaxy to his each and every whim.
