This is such a fun issue! You get to see Harley kicking serious ass. This is a funny, campy, action-packed issue for Harley's Birthday!

Fun issue, keeps you on your toes. I love seeing old Arkham villains in this series. The mix of art styles is cool since we see The Suicide Squad style. Its done tastefully. Sort of disturbing at certain points, so that REALLY brings the stakes up.

While this is an extremely kick-ass comic, you'll see a lot of themes of friendship. It's pretty deep, deeper than a lot of stuff I've read. It is very full of action and mystery and keeps you on your toes. It has also made me emotional, which is kind of hard for a comic to do. I would highly recommend this series if you haven't started it and hope this catches you up!

It was great seeing a team up between the Outlaws and Nightwing! He definitely came in clutch even though he was sort of apprehensive of working with the team. The stakes werent super high against a villain like KGBeast, but it was still an entertaining read. I generally prefer Dexter Soys art style, Tyler Kirkham is identical so its still pretty awesome. I really loved this issue, but in the back of my head, I was just thinking Hows Bizarro? Whats going to happen with Bizarro? from the last issue, since this technically isnt #14.

This has a strong, strong plot. A lot is at stake here, Laura has to struggle not only with survival, but keeping her family members safe from harm as well. The Orphans of X being introduced in this comic has just made it all the more interesting. This comicbook series as a whole has so many strong points when it comes to storylines and art.

This is definitely one of the more intense arcs in the amazing series. More is revealed about The Orphans and this took a dark turn. It can definitely get worse for Laura while they're around. The art by Cabal is very vibrant and great as always.

The use of so many bright colors works amazingly! All over a great issue. Never a dull moment with this comic in general, it's really solid. It's the half way point for this comicbook, and they plot continues to thicken and even though it's more light-hearted and funny, it continues to kick ass!

cover is always promising when their is a big bad on it, he doesn't have a huge part in this issue though, he was more of a filler. Facial features are awesome, because Penguin and Red Hood have a face off, even though it's a little anti-climatic. It is funny and Penguin snarkiness is caught well. Dexter Soy probably my favorite comic book artist, so he always get a 10. He doesn't waste a single panel and there's always great detail in each. Gandini always puts great color too, the two together are great.

This was a great issue! All the artists collabing totally worked. This storyline has built up a lot of drama and suspense. We wonder what the future of The Outlaws is. I really cannot wait for the next issue.

Wow! This was an awesome issue with lots of action and good dialogue. Red Hood and Batwoman have a lot in common and make an unlikely yet great teamup. They have their share of blood on their hands but make awesome heroes. The art and color by Woods and Lokus are done really well. Hope to see these two artists and two heroes working together again!

I couldn't explain how happy I was that Rogue and Gambit got their own mini series before, but I was even more excited when a new one entailed them getting married! Like Thompson said, with a couple this hot and powerful, it is hard to get bored! I feel like this series has way more potential since they have more X-Men involved and they're starting off the fight in space! Bazaldua does great with the art and the cover by D'Armata is beautiful! I really can't wait to see what's in store!

View Issue       View Full Review

Wow! That was intense, Red Hood actually murdered The Penguin. This is a big move for Rebirth, will we be seeing this villain again? This is going to create a ton of conflict between Batman and Red Hood, which may result in Batman trying to arrest him. This is going to be as painful as when Jason came back from the grave. As always, the art is great and detailed, Soy and Borges made a good combination.

We didn't get to see much of Artemis and Bizarro, but that's okay, we haven't gotten to see a lot of Jason, and we get to read about a huge part of his past. I think it is pretty deep, something maybe a lot of fans of this novel can maybe relate to. Red Hood has been a fan favorite because of how badass and ruthless he is, but we can kind of see why now. Art was good, but Jason didn't look like Jason.

View Issue       View Full Review

This likely won't be the last we've seen of Jason's allies. Even though Bunker is no longer on his side, he could be a friend or foe in the future. What does Wingman's Bat tattoo mean? Could he be Jason's father Willis? I have so many theories! This was a really solid issue and ending to Prince of Gotham. I can't wait to see what happens next. Art and colors were awesome!

Awesome issue! Thought it'd be just a filler, but it's a storyline we could get a lot out of. The cover is super memorable and greatly illustrated. Along with the art and different outfits. Can't wait to see what this all brings!

View Issue       View Full Review

A really great issue! I loved Segoiva did really great in the art, he captures Jason's ideal look. I feel like the past issues, even though the art was awesome, Jason looked NOTHING like himself, yes of course he got a buzz cut but his facial features were totally different. Color popped as well! This opens up potentially more drama with Batman which in the future I hope resolves, but for now it's really interesting to see.

A lot is happening in this arc as a whole. It is super violent and kick-ass. Keeps you on your toes and lots of things from the last issue make sense. Cabal did great in this issue, the art is great.

Incredible adaptation from the movie! Funny twist from the T.V. show since theyd have a slightly different timeline. TV and books always differ though. If you dig horror comics or are just a hardcore fan of this series, Id highly suggest picking it up!

Dig the art and color by Vargas, Lofti, and Farrell. Wise choice on adding more staff for this issue. Im really hooked on what happens next.

Great issue! First I love that Thompson and Bazaldua pay homage to Rogue's old outfits and her comic history. That's something we see a lot throughout the comic. Second, I think Gambit finding a baby as his item to steal making it interesting and shows a different side to a classic villain.I'm really excited to see how this arc wraps up!

This was an awesome issue and a great way to tie everything together. Art was awesome and color meshed everything together well. I look forward to see what these next few issues bring, and how him and Batman will end up clashing again.

Awesome issue! Great for an annual. I'm so happy to finally know the whereabouts of Bizarro and Artemis. I have missed them a lot. Bizarro got to do a lot without his super intelligence! I think the post-apocalyptic vibe made it super interesting and was super creative. Art was awesome and I loved their new look!

Art is amazing, it's dark and gritty and a different style than usual. X looked way different. This is a comic that has issues that ALWAYS deliver. It has a lot of different aspects you don't expect. Charles Soule has done it again! I'm so sad this comic book is only 12 issues long. There's so much more they could expand upon and I love this team, they are made up of some of my favorite X-Men!

I think Rogue and Gambit were the perfect superhero couple to be selected for Mojo-verse's show. They bring the fun and spice to any story. Any other super couple wouldn't make it nearly as interesting. I also think Gambit and Spiral working together could put an interesting spin on things! This issue was well put together and a good read. The art and color were great like always, and there's always great detail. I love how bright it is. I highly recommend and see this comic getting better and better!

This issue is a good read because it does a great job with flashbacks and retouching important events. I would love to see the Doom War in the X-23 storyline. Clift hangers always keep me on my toes and we definitely have a big one. What could Gabby have done? The art by Rosanas is solid and detailed.

View Issue       View Full Review

This was jam packed full of a lot of action, romance, and suspence. I've been loving how this comic pays homage to the past. Whether it be Rogue and Gambit's history and complications, to silly outfits. Plus they art gets all the different versions right and it's wonderful all around! This plot is as far-fetched as it is good. Yes, it's almost like that random fluffy fanfic to get two soulmates together on a romantic retreat, and having a villain feed off them. Of course it would be Rogue and Gambit. They have faced weirder things on other missions! The cover is a great subtle giveaway for what happens in the issue!

Soule is constantly keeping you at the edge of your seat with this series. X-Men comics are easily lovable, but if you liked the FX series Legion, this issue is for you. The psychological elements make it extra interesting along with the real world drama.

It was a gritty, action packed issue! I love fight scenes, but Im also kind of a gore-buff, so I loved seeing people being slaughtered for a fight they picked!

Suspenseful to the end. Title gives away a lot, and I think that is part of Conner and Palmiottis plan with leaving.

This has been a lot of action for such a short series! It's great. Art has not disappointing. This was a fun read but didn't blow me away. I feel like we will have a lot of drama and sacrifice next issue.

Loved it! We haven't gotten to see the two in their element at home, only at a resort and in space! It is far from a normal day off though, they are confronted by something most newlyweds don't want to be confronted by Ex's and in-laws! But that makes it all the more interesting! We had awesome guests as artists and colorists and still brought the liveliness to the comic. I'm excited for the rest of the story line!

I thought the banter between ex-foe Spiral and Rogue and Gambit was funny and played out well. I feel like it all came together well and wrapped up at the perfect time. This whole arc was enjoyable and had enough drama to keep you gripped.

Rogue and Gambit are such an icon couple and seeing their love and strong connection is an amazing thing. Thompson 100% did this comic justice and I couldn't imagine anyone else doing it as great. I'm so thankful for this!

I was disappointed not see Soy as the artist last issue, because I adore his style so much! I was very happy to see him back doing this issue. I love the BatFam as a whole, so seeing them clash with Jason. I think everyone has at some point. I cant wait to see them working with Her.

All in all, it was a really great issue. Art was good but Jason doesn't look like Jason. It was a great tie in to what's going on with the rest of the universe. It was really heartfelt, give my dude Jason a break! I hope things get easier for him.

Art was awesome by Failla, and it totally works for an All-New Wolverine issue. This was a perfect comic to bring Deadpool in and we'll see if he is able to help them against their next adversary!

The art by Rosanas is solid along with the color by Woodard. Lopez's cover art was good at capturing Laura's ferocity. Taylor always brings in awesome characters and uses them to their full potential and never wastes them. I love easter eggs they have in the comic, since they are in the future.

This has been such a solid comic with a great storyline! I'm not looking forward to it ending. There's definitely a cliffhanger at the end of each issue, but not an annoying one either. I hope to see this team soon. Again, it's not officially over, it's just how I feel.

View Issue       View Full Review

This was very enjoyable and a fun way to up where we left off. Art was awesome but Jason looks like a completely different person is all. This Red Hood vs. Appleton is like the fight scene in Kingsmen in the church! A modern day classic! I think a lot of people will be excited with the guest character and Red Hood can kick a lot of ass with them.

I would be disappointed if that was the last we saw of Essence because otherwise what would the point of all that be, but Lobdell doesn't waste characters. Overall it's a solid issue. Artwork is great and it does a good job keeping the audience on what really happens next.

Summary: This is a great issue especially with Valentine's Day coming up. It is a good mix of action and drama, with a little bit of homage to the past. The art by Perez is very detailed on character features and in backgrounds and everything else and D'Armata's mix of color makes it pop. Very fun read!

View Issue       View Full Review

We see Gabby trying really hard and hoping that this clone who's not a clone can turn out to be good and be a member of their little family. And she kicks ass trying to protect her family! Anyways, this issue turned out a lot better than I expected. I'm happy! I feel like there's a lot that can grow with it. The art was good, especially with the color scheme.

View Issue       View Full Review

Art was different, but really pretty to look at. Different than standard comic book art. No harsh lines, almost like watercolor. It has bright colors with no harshness, but had a good amount of contrast in all the different panels. It suits the issue well and had a lot of detail still.

View Issue       View Full Review

I've always really liked Phil Noto as at artist. I feel like his style is a good match for this series. This is a great way to start the new Act II arc because it opens so many doors. A young Charles Xavier back from the dead can cause a lot of dilemmas, even though it seems like a good thing.

View Issue       View Full Review

Art is awesome but Borge's style overshadowed Soy's and his normally comes out super amazing. Cover is awesome as well, but the Penguin storyline is overplayed since he's only been in miniscule parts of the issues lately. Before, the whole Life of Bizarro storyline was overplayed because it seemed like the same issue over and over, but now we have more insight and they need to fight to resolve it.

So I feel like we got a bunch of different pieces that will come together soon enough. It was a bit of a slow start but picked up and went together pretty well. Woods' art and Lokus' color came together well and I feel like their style is perfect for Red Hood comics.

The art is awesome! Great detail, bold, and bright! Everything I love in an X-Men comic. I actually prefer the variants to the cover. I was so excited to pick this up because Rogue and Gambit have been one of my favorite comicbook couples, probably ever. This brings great homage to the past, the good ol' days. Not only do I love the interaction between them, but between all the other characters introduced as well.

Love this cover! It captures the issue well since they do have to see from each other's point of view. Anka ALWAYS does an excellent job with foreshadowing what will be in the issue with the cover art. Perez and D'Armata use of bright colors with detailed art works perfectly. Thompson does a good job touching flashbacks and their mixed feelings about each other.

I like this art style by Cabal more than what Ive seen in other issues. It has more detail and captures action scenes well.

Funny, quirky, everything I expect from a Harley Quinn comic. Rarely disappoints. I do enjoy the artwork, although I favor John Timms. Same with the cover, I prefer Amanda Conner and Alexs Sinclairs cover art, but Carlini and Thompson are great too!

This gives insight to the fact that even when Harley was with the Joker, she was not truly evil. She did everything for him out of love and hopes for what they could have in the future.

Art is great, but I still love Dexter Soy's more. The art style plus colors AND details make everything pop and adds to a better story.

They learned more about themselves, more about each other, and taught other mutants to appreciate their powers. That it is part of who they are. Rogue and Gambit saved the day in many ways. And their relationship. It's been a case of "met the right person at the wrong time," but their timing will never be perfect, their lives will never be perfect, it is better to just live in the moment with the person you've always been in love with. This is an adorable way to end the series, but I think it is also awesome that we don't actually know what happened to Lavish, she could make a good villain later on with the rest of the mutant. Kelly Thompson carried this series very well and kept you coming back for more. The art and color was beautiful and never sloppy. Sad to see it end!

All-New Wolverine has been one of the more solid comic books in Marvel's lineup and always delivers. I knew DC fanboys who loved this book. With Logan returning as Wolverine, Laura is stepping back to X-23, in her own self-titled comic. Hopefully it will be as good as the way Tom Taylor writes and we continue to have solid, detailed artwork like we have had here. Ending with the storyline Old Woman Laura was a good move.

I am absolutely in love with Dexter Soy's art as always. This issue was fun, just anticlimactic in my opinion and they had a lot to work with. Suicide Squad comics are awesome and I just feel like they under-utilized them.

From chatty henchmen to a spying Bizarro, the issue has plenty of twists and turns. Jason is forced to see his actions in a new light, and Artemis and Bizarro have a long awaited discussion.

I love John Timms art so much. Chad Hardins was a good fit too since it's almost similar. Sometimes art changes are my pet peeve. But that is just me. I've been talking about Conner and Palmiotti leaving a lot, and for people who do not know the news, well you'll certainly get a lot of answers in here. The quality was good here but I think the overall quality of the comicbook deteriorated when it hit Rebirth, I know a lot of people who dropped this title. Maybe they will come back after a while and have new better material.

Laura is sticking to her new peaceful ways of no killing. She tries to keep the peace between her and The Orphans despite everything that has gone down. Laura is wise, but perhaps a bit foolish.

Great issue! I feel like this built up a lot of action we're going to get soon. I would love to see Jason leading vigilantes in Gotham only for it to blow up in his face again! The art and color went together great. I'm looking forward to seeing Artemis and Bizarro again!

Charles Xavier, better known now as X, has made his triumphant return. However, is this a mistake? The X-Men don't trust this new version of him. X is determined to talk to Proteus without causing more bloodshed. He wants to solve this the peaceful way, but Proteus holds a nasty grudge. Can they save the day peacefully?

This issue has a good spin on Valentine's Day but still has the feel of a Red Hood The Outlaws comic. I'm majorly stuck on Dexter Soy's art so anything aside from him like can't live up to him but Takara's art was fine. The mix of color Schwager and Serrano worked well with it and tied everything nice together. They used brights, bolds, and darks.I look forward to see what Artemis's and Jason's "deal" leads to and what they wanna do about Bizarro. I also would like to see what they could become romantically.

Love the art, and it is a funny story. Its a great opening to the rest of the arc, just nothing really crazy happened. Thats how it is for most beginnings though. One thing is for sure, Id definitely vote for Harley!

Art is awesome! I love the shading and darker colors by Miranda and Skipper. The cover looks cute like an average Harley issue, but the art makes it look like Suicide Squad which is cool because she's great in that.

#SquadGoals? As a title? A little silly, but okay. I expected more interactions between these antiheroes (emphasis on anti). I have a ton of faith to see what this opens up to however. Art by Soy is killer as always.

For a first time read, this is a cool, gritty adaptation to this series. I could see myself getting into the show just from reading these comics.

I guess we'll see if Tamaki can carry the series as well as Thompson did with All-New Wolverine, it had left a lot skeptical. Cabal continues to have strong and awesome art. I think it has great potential to be as awesome as ANW was and we can look forward to great villains.

Has all the gritty, funny, gory concepts from the movies. I did like this series as a whole and can't wait to see what the future has in store not only for this but the TV show as well. It was a good fun arc to see what antics Ash gets into. We are going to get KISS.. Yeah KISS and Army of Darkness together in a comic set to release in 2018. That should be very interesting and I'm praying Gene Simmons doesn't try to trademark all things Evil Dead related.

Would definitely like to see more action in the next story. This was the best comic in this storyline that took forever to build up. The art was good and very vibrant, Cabal and Fiorito definitely did a good collab of both their styles.

It's a cute way to wrap up the arc, but there was a lot of things in the last issue that I wanted to see. It has introduced a lot of potential conflicts and I was looking forward to see those in this issue, but I trust they will be resolved very soon.

I'm not too crazy about this arc, and unfortunately with Conner and Palmiotti leaving, their writing is getting weaker with trying to wrap the story up. I love this series so Ill be sad to see it end. Im open to new writers in the future. I am looking forward to seeing the results of this election though!

There was an interesting twist in the end. I think well get to see a lot more as the arc opens up and if this deal bites them in the ass. I liked how we got to see Bizarro open up a bit and witness his whole point of view of things.

Im in love with this series as a whole. Just a bit of a weaker issue but mostly because its an opener and first of its arc. I prefer the art of Dexter Soy, this one is good but hes been one of my favorite comic book artists so far.

We haven't really seen Andolfo in Harley Quinn that much or really recently, but she did an awesome job with everything and Harley's outfit. The way Alex Sinclair incorporates bright colors with her art works well. The ending of this issue got exciting since we get a lot more villains and familiar faces.

I really dig the art style overall, I'm glad Amanda Conner was the main artist for this. I sort of lost interest half way through, not super memorable to me as special

View Issue       View Full Review

Not one of the strongest of intros, but I'm sure the rest of the storyline will deliver. I'm itching to see what fate really had in store for Artemis and Bizarro. Jason feels like he failed his team and Batman certained added injury to insult. Art was decent, not the best I've seen for this comic but it had a gritty feel to it. Jason doesn't really look like Jason, and it's bizarre that his new weapon of choice is the very thing that killed him, but it did also turn him into THE Red Hood.

View Issue       View Full Review

This story isn't holding up to All-New Wolverine sad to say, I know it's a beginner but I'm not hooked yet and I felt like all the action took place the last 4 pages. I feel like we have a strong character like Laura and her awesome team up with Gabby and it just isn't reaching its full potential. Art saved it from being below average.

View Issue       View Full Review

Again, I feel like nothing exciting happens in the end. I literally read through this is 3 minutes. There's a lot of build up but little development to Tamaki's stories. I didn't even have a bias to go off of for Tamaki I don't think I've ever read anything she's written.

View Issue       View Full Review

I've been feeling like this story drags on and is just milking material it has because maybe they don't have anymore ideas? Art and cover art are good, the realness captures Gabby's emotion and struggle well, even though we don't see much of her side in all of this. The color palette used is really pretty in this issue too. I don't 100% know what happened. Again, these issues always fly by.

Wacky villains, unforeseen saviors, and more in the angry birds arc! We see villains like Mr. Freeze and The Condiment King, but where is Penguin?

I may be on some hater-ade, but I just expect a lot more from a favorite superhero. Cover makes it seem a lot cooler than it is, I feel like it would definitely be a memorable one, just with an basic story behind it. Art saves it, it has good detail with pretty background colors.

View Issue       View Full Review

Since Amanda Conner and Jimmy Palmiotti are leaving and new writers are taking over now, it does feel like just an easy way to have their way out. I'm sure writing a character as complex and popular as Harley can be overwhelming. The ending steers towards new beginnings which I liked but it could have been built up more. I like the art and it's cute, but it goes for eery to bright to eery and bright and it's like are we going for an issue where they are mourning the loss of a loved one or just another silly Harley Quinn comic?
