There's simply no reason for this comic to exist, offering no new information for readers that wasn't already gleamed in the main story arc and providing clunky, stilted dialogue in the process.

This issue's a miss and you shouldn't feel bad skipping it unless you're looking to complete the crossover.

Writer Nick Spencer takes a breather post "Hunted", and before jumping head first into "Absolute Carnage," with a fantastic one and done story that focuses on the Peter/Mary Jane relationship.

It's not an easy feat to accomplish but both Spencer and Ottley deliver one of the best chapters of the crossover to date.

Nick Spencer continues the next chapter of Amazing Spidey's crossover with Absolute Carnage and manages to knock it out of the park once again.

Spencer brings the goods when it comes to the writing and Gleason hammers home his initial outing with Spidey.

As he has done in the past several issues, Spencer's strength comes from his ability to juggle numerous characters, and plotlines, from Spidey's past and integrate them into a well oiled machine.

Another home run issue that raises the stakes for your favorite wall crawler and opens the door for another visit to the 2099 universe.

While Spencer's script is still strong as ever, ingeniously making use of Spidey's continuity in creating an interesting moment between brother and sister, the presentation is so distracting that the art almost takes you out of the experience entirely.

It's a real shame that the artwork here is such a hindrance as there's a great story to be found.

The last page stunner is one heck of a shocker on its own and the whole package makes for a fantastic way for Spider-Man to ring in 2020.

Another great installment of the recent arc of Amazing Spider-Man.

Another solid issue for Team Spidey.

There's a lot to love in Archie Comics these past few years, but Archie: 1955 fails to capitalize on it.

There have been many alternate versions of the Riverdale gang, but this latest attempt from Waid and Augustyn feels like the most stale.

I keep hoping that this series will pick up steam but it simply hasn't and with each passing issue, I fear it just won't.

Afterlife With Archie took the bones of Riverdale and made something new, but here, we get a story that's simply repetitive and hasn't managed to justify its existence.

Ultimately, it was simply a story that didn't need to exist and didn't give us any new slants on the age old trope of a young rock star in the making who is in way over his head.

The king of Atlantis is the most interesting part of the story, and though there are one too many folks to keep track of, the first issue does its job well enough.

Even if you don't know much about the Agents of Atlas, this is worth a read.

With great character work and a blinding amount of twists and turns, Atlantis Attack remains one of the surprise hits of 2020 so far!

If you're looking for a stand alone Batman story that combines one of the greatest dynamic duo's in comics' history, give The Batman's Grave a read. We're certainly looking forward to reading the twelve issue series all in one go.

While not managing to hold the momentum of the first issue, it's still worth a look (though maybe you should wait for the collection).

While the layout to this issue may seem a tad formulaic, it does give both creators a chance to stretch their legs and create a solid Batman story that has nearly everything a Bat Fan could ask for.

One of the strongest characteristics of this series is Warren Ellis' confidence in artist Bryan Hitch, creating silent fight scenes that play on the latter's strengths.

Hitch's art work is still great and a joy to experience but this latest installment suffers from a tad too much decompression.

The story lives up to the installments of the past issues, but this one definitely could have been kept in the oven a tad longer.

While mileage may vary on the reveals of this issue, the art work and character beats are well worth the price of admission here.

Black Terror doesn't break the wheel, but it does bend it in favor of a new take on an old hero.

The combined creative effort of Seeley and Braithwaite works wonders for bringing you into the world of Bloodshot, and more importantly, seeing where he's moving toward in the future!

Cable #1 doesn't break the wheel, but it shows us a side of the X-Men that has otherwise gone untold in this new era.

Coates is putting together a worthwhile arc here, it just needs a bit more of a shot in the arm.

While the issue promises on some neat storylines in the future, you can't help but think it had even more potential.

It's a bit all over the place and diminishes the character driven story here that dives into the mystery behind the Dryad.

A perfect Captain America story for this day and age.

A worthy first outing for those looking to have their costumed hero and villain fare presented with a dark and realistic edge.

This second issue doesn't quite live up to the first, but in the art department, it continues to be stellar.

While I'm crossing my fingers for more surprises, Dead Eyes does what it sets out to do with some of the best creators in the business today.

The premise of this story is essentially "what if Adam West's Batman and Frank Miller's Batman switched places" and while this issue does an adequate job of taking us into those two worlds, it misses out on the humor of the original series.

Still, if you enjoyed The Wrong Earth and were looking for another way to revisit these characters, this is just that and worth your time.

Garney is doing the work of his life here in the art department while Duggan nails the feelings of the characters and the supernatural shenanigans.

If you're in search of a superhero comic that doesn't necessarily break the wheel, Williamson's run on The Flash may be worth your time.

If you're into some standard superhero fare, The Flash has you covered.

This issue is definitely elevated by the inclusion of Scott Kolins artwork, the penciller during arguably one of the most popular runs of the scarlet speedster with Geoff Johns' original adventures of Wally West.

The Rogues are still written in character here, albeit with a vastly different appearance thanks to Lex's "gift", but it could have been weaved into the story a bit stronger when all was said and done.

In the long history of superhero comics, it can sometimes be hard to find truly original story ideas, but the latest issue manages to do just that (for the Flash anyway).

This issue feels like something of an exposition dump to catch Allen up to speed and while the interesting new side effect of what happens when a speedster access a now defunct Speed Force is intriguing, the issue tends to run out of gas throughout.

It's a solid issue if hamstrung a little due to its crossover tie-in.

While this story line has had its ups and downs, it continues to be your standard super hero fare that does a good job of throwing interesting new challenges the Flash's way.

A serviceable ending to a crossover arc that probably would have been better left to the side.

While there are definitely some holes in the story, it's a fun romp that does a good job at diving into these rivals.

Definitely worth your time.

A definite must buy for any fan of the Flash.

Williamson and Duce provide another serviceable story here, but it certainly doesn't live up to the origin issue of Paradox, though it has quite the stinger.

Each issue has given Flash fans a banger of a final page and #752 remains no different. Great superhero fare!

While the last page twist certainly promises big developments down the road, it isn't enough to shoulder what's lacking for the second issue overall.

The best issue of the series yet and if they can keep up this tempo, IDW may have a hit on their hands.

While the new focus is fairly interesting, it isn't nearly as entertaining as what came before it.

While the premise of the series has been hit or miss so far, this latest installment puts fantastic use to the idea of this new environment, creating the best issue of the series to date.

Steve Orlando puts a bow on his supernatural team book that brings together the "monsters" of Gotham City with a solid final entry.

The issue itself doesn't push the boundaries in a way that say Grant Morrison or Scott Snyder's run had, but it's some worthwhile superhero fare, junk food if you will.

Justice League should be big, flashy, and loud, and this story leaves us with a whimper.

Even the return of Doug Mahnke on pencils couldn't save this storyline from ending with a whimper.

The first issue acts as a serviceable entry point into this new world of the "Inked" but it stumbles in offering anything new and noteworthy to bring readers back to the fold for the next chapter.

This new 2099 was a hodgepodge of some neat ideas which unfortunately falls flat in the finale. A head scratcher more than anything.

If you're a die-hard fan of 2099, there's enough here to whet your whistle.

It's a feel good story that is simply begging for something more, but maybe the former is what we could use right now.

If you're going to take a superhero out of his comfort zone and give him a brand new status quo, you'd better have the "story beat chops" to back it up. Unfortunately, Nightwing's latest issue is a mess from top to bottom in that regard.

The story attempts to give us a better understanding of Bldhaven at the same time, but fails with an event that makes its citizens look completely ridiculous.

Simply put, if nothing else, this recent annual does give us some aspects of Dick's life never before seen that prove interesting, but the sum of its parts falls short.

No Longer Human is a masterpiece, assembled by a creator at the top of their game. Ito's stunning visuals work amazingly in tandem with the story created by Osamu Dazai. While works like Uzumaki and Tomie are getting adaptations of their own, we can only cross our fingers that this tale is one day adapted into a Hollywood picture, though it may be too unsettling for a general audience.

While they attempt to do something new with the strange relationship between Andi and her symbiote, it feels like we're treading old ground.

The story is still finding its "sea legs" but needs a strong shot in the arm to set itself apart.

This series has a ways to go before it should hit anyone's weekly piles.

Scream's world just isn't compelling and it needs an emotional core to reel fans in.

And so the first story arc of Scream ends with a whimper.

If you're looking for a stylish jaunt into the world of Spider-Man Noir, this issue is worth your time despite its flaws.

One of the best first issues of the year and definitely worth your time and money.

This latest installment doesn't quite knock it out of the park, but manages to hit a solid "triple" when all is said and done.

A wonderful premise hamstrung by some weaker elements.

There are definitely a few changes that could have been made to make it a horror legend, but unfortunately, it falls short. Still worth a read for sure but just a tad beneath what could have been.

If you've ever wanted to read a comic that blends Man-Thing with the movie Annihilation, this is the one for you.
