This was an incredible finish to a great series, I would recommend this series to anyone!

Why isn't everybody talking about this issue? This just confirms my opinion that comic readers are uncultured dips, not you guys though! Get out and buy this issue if you haven't already! I dinged the cover a half point because I don't give out 10/10s but this is about as close as I'll ever get!

A rock solid issue by a great creative team. You won't regret picking this up.

If you didn't buy this book I'm sorry, you failed at NCBD 1/9/19. Fix your deficiency immediately or be ridiculed for all time by your more well read, better looking friends. But all you will receive from me is pity for the disservice you've done yourself.

This issue is unlike anything I have ever seen from this series, as I said above, but it isn't without it's share of crime and criminals as the title would suggest. Making for a very interesting dynamic is the relationship between the narrator, a young failed comic artist, and his former idol,

I adored the reveal of the source of Hal's great trauma, it was brilliant and I won't reveal it. I also loved this panel, which basically describes my life:

A wonderful ride through the darker side of this dark universe. Drugs aren't fear and loathing prose or romance, they're a demon biding it's time to take away everything you care about.

This is the best book on the shelves currently.

I recently said this is the best ongoing on the stands right now and I will say it again. This is the best ongoing on the stands right now.

Buy this book, buy all the trades, hardcovers, whatever. God willing one day there may be an ombibus and I'll surely buy that too! This series is gold.

Criminal is an amazing series and should be read by all. Maybe not small children. By most. Criminal is an amazing series and should be read by most.

If you skip this book you will do yourself a disservice.

The art by Andrea Sorrentino is nuts, I will say it's hard to tell what's going on at times but that's the point haha. I loved the spread of the multiverse laid out to see, so super interesting. Again I can't say much more because I don't want to spoil anything. This issue really has to be seen firsthand.

Go ahead and call this John Jack's pick of the week, no small feat as this week is chock full of killer reads! I would recommend this book as an ideal Christmas present for just about anyone, but it's too late for that isn't it? Man, I can't get over how much I liked this book! I'm gonna go read it again!

My favorite holiday book this (and every) year, pick this up if you see it. Also trades paperbacks are available for the previous specials, if you missed them.

Honestly if you're iffy on this event for whatever reason I would recommend this issue as a trial I know 8 bucks is a bit steep but it's a nice long issue i think i got my moneys worth.

A seriously excellent start to what promises to be an interesting series, pick this issue up!

It's not too late to pick up this whole series it's so amazingly good!

It's not a classic take on the character by any stretch but Werewolf By Night #1 (Taboo, Earl, Eaton) is off to a solid start with an interesting new story.

All in all I highly recommend this book to anyone who's even remotely interested in Juggernaut, or good comics, this was a fun book.

A solid read, and for a dollar, where's the risk? Give it a shot.

A really fun book that can be enjoyed with no prior knowledge of the team or the universe.

Really fun issue, worth your time to be sure if you like alternate universe stories, or Nazi punchin!

A slower issue in an interesting series. I'm certain the plot threads dropped here will pay off soon.

The art by Eddy Barrows and Eber Ferriera is nothing short of amazing. Really great. Everyone should be reading this phenomenal book.

A really fun entry in a good series, no high society here, just Nazi punching fun!

This issue has made this series (in my opinion) the best series at DC right now, hands down.

A really great mystery series that is surely going to be worth following.

A really fun issue with some sadly typical issues in comics.

I couldn't recommend this series more, it's novel, interesting and often surprising. This finale is such a strong ending to the series, and it goes to show that even bad people can have a happy ending.

I love this series, its been building up so well, I can't wait for the next issue. The demon is back!

My god, it's good to have Kill or be Killed back after a 6-week break! I am so glad it's back! If you aren't reading this series you seriously need to get on it! Love it!

Resolved several plot points raised in the last few issues, and even had a bit of action! Phenomenalissue for what will likely be the last part of volume 4! Pick up this issue if you haven't already!

A really great book if you're looking for a good time, it isn't Watchmen or Citizen Kane but it isn't trying to be. This is a comic that feels like a comic should. Maybe not quite kid appropriate but still something I would have read and enjoyed as a kid. I'm not sure how old Daniel Warren Johnson is but I wager he grew up watching Voltron, Transformers and Power Rangers much like I did.

This series might not be for everyone, but it's a whole lot of fun. I really like it

Displaying a flair for storytelling (ha pun) that isn't often present in the big 2, this book has become one of my favorites almost overnight (I picked up issue 1 of season 2 last week at the LCS and ran back the next day for volume 1 I liked it so much) and I've been recommending it all over town! Seriously, pick up a copy today!

Great issue I'm glad Solar Flare it's a solid series, can't wait for next issue season 2 ended on a huge cliffhanger!

A great and interesting issue, definitely worth your time. If you have a vague idea what happens (and you likely do) you could skip this issue without suffering terribly. But I personally thought it was a lot of fun and a stellar entry for the era.

Seriously cool self contained issue that is well worth picking up.

I'm really liking this series in general but I hope the art improves.

Really interesting issue I'm definitely gonna reread at some point especially once more of the plot unfolds.

A great piece of a great series this is the Daredevil we deserve.

This is a fantastic issue. I don't give 10/10s but this issue made me consider it.

This is one of the best books out there if you aren't getting it shame on you

If the rest of the event is this good you're gonna want to follow it.

I thought it did a really good job of balancing action, a moderate amount of necessary exposition and about 4 pages of setup for the various spinoffs, tie ins and such. An argument could be made that this is an issue long fight that just served to launch more things to buy, which isn't incorrect, but I'm so very happy with the book I just read it's hard to care.

I will also say the timeline of this event feels really off with events happening out of sync, with characters being in two places seemingly at once (Punisher being the worst offender). This kind of stuff takes me way out of the event and makes me ask why I'm buying all these tie in books if they don't matter?

A fun facet of the series if you're enjoying this event, if you aren't why are you reading this?

A fun issue that sets up the finale nicely I can't wait for #6!

A great end to a solid event, I will likely be recommending this to Thor fans for years as an example of how a large Thor event can work.

What a cool issue, I hope to see more of this creative team on Detective in the future, it'll be disappointing if it's just this one issue, interested to see what the future brings for this title. You know what else I miss? B side stories, someone needs to bring those back! One shots and B stories, remnants of a bygone era"

Solid first entry in the arc, the rating might raise or lower depending on how plot details pan out. I would consider this issue a good jumping on point, as the large-scale paradigm shift from the Gotham Knights stories to whatever the new run is building towards means a day one reader knows almost as much as anyone else at this point.

This is a great series on all fronts, I would recommend it to anyone, easily one of the top 5 rebirth series. Hope you enjoyed and thanks for reading!

Whenever anyone asks where to start with rebirth I almost always say Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps, this issue is a continuation of that excellence, nearly perfect in my opinion.

I seriously can't wait for next issue, if nothing else than to see if I'm right! Man, I love this book, this is a fantastic arc it's gonna be a big one I have a feeling.

Man, I can't wait for next issue, this arc rules. Fans of the series shouldn't miss it! Get on this if you aren't already. Man, I'm gonna miss Venditti.

Darn near a perfect finale to a fantastic arc, much better than a clean victory it takes the time to lend a little gravitas and intrigue at the end.

Might be a bad issue to jump on for a new reader, as 99% of this issue hinges on prior knowledge of characters involved, but if you're a fan of Green Lantern and aren't reading this book, you're wrong. READ IT!!

I could rate it higher but I need to be able to rate the next ones higher somehow, as I have a feeling this arc is only going to get better! My one disclaimer is that this issue isn't very new reader friendly, but we're in the home stretch of the series, which ends with #50, so that's to be expected, this is the endgame!

Tons of payoff for longtime readers of Green Lantern this issue, with a bunch of plot threads and callbacks present, not very new reader friendly but very rewarding for a fan. Amazing arc!

Phenomenal end to a great series, these next two issues are going to be great I already know it, I can't wait to see what happens next!

Also, did you guys catch the connecting variants for this one and the one before? Cooool!

Sorry to see this series end, but nothing good lasts forever, the story continues in Dan Jurgens' Green Lanterns run (beginning with issue #50 out last month) and Hal will be appearing in Grant Morrison and Liam Sharpe's Green Lantern series beginning this November. Coool. I'm gonna miss Venditti, fingers crossed he gets my numerous tweets about a Guy Gardner/ Arkillo Team up mini, because I still want that.

In my opinion, there's no such thing as a perfect issue but Ragman number 3 is about as close as you can get for me, this series is, in my opinion, a can't miss for new fans of the character or old fans looking for a new read.

If anything this issue should be read before the series, it contains a load of backstory I've been missing, this series just became more interesting, can't wait for #5!

A fun series that I highly recommend you read in trade if you haven't picked it up yet, delays aside damn good series.

I would recommend this miniseries as a whole via trade or if you've been collecting, but this particular issue is really the weak point of the series.

The art by Paulo Villanelli and Federico Blee is truly great especially considering the varied character designs from Simonson's Malekith all the way up to the Todd Mcfarlane designed Angela every character looks amazing and I loved the glimpse into the land of the dead, excellent.

A really decent issue in an underrated series, enough so that I now want Bunn on Thor, c'mon universe make it happen!

I consider this issue to be well worth the cover price for all new material from classic creative teams.

Hopefully this arc goes somewhere good but you could skip this issue with minimal repercussions. Even the god reveal will be (hopefully) done better next issue.

If this is the series we're getting I'm so sold! If it dips back to the drudgery of the previous 2 I might not stay.

This arc has evolved into a can't miss story worthy of far more praise than it's getting. Read it.

A strange end to an interesting arc, definitely worth your time.

Honestly a fantastic issue if you are new to the character and a really good one if you aren't, if not for the visuals alone.

A decent issue, I really hope it isn't some bait and switch false memory nonsense and we get some answers regarding Mera soon.

A really good issue, one of the best I read in recent memory. Just great.

I will definitely be reading this series going forward, it feels like a decent jumping on point for readers unfamiliar with concepts, as it may turn you onto some new facets of GL lore.

I consider this book a must read for fans of sci fi, Green Lantern or crime dramas, just incredible. So much fun.

An interesting albeit off the rails issue, definitely worth your time.

An interesting issue that helps tie together the overarching narrative working within the previous relatively standalone issues.

I did want to note the lettering by Comic Watch letterer of the year Tom Orzechowski, I adore when alternate fonts are used for emphasis which is employed several times here, as are the ubiquitous bell tones. Also worth noting Tom hand letters, so all of those BOMG effects are hand drawn. Phenomenal.

I am a little sad to say the prolific Steve Wands' letter work is perfectly serviceable, but a couple steps down from industry legend Tom Orzechowski, who is taking a couple issues off presumably to work on Spawn #200, a series he helped launch.

A very skippable issue that ends up going nowhere by the end, great visuals though. I'm sure this series will turn around but I did not like this issue it steps too far from the police procedural in space we were promised.

Honestly a good story to read as a one off if you aren't following the series it stands alone really well. Although it is also kind of insane, it's a good time.

Really good issue that I will revisit frequently and a decent jumping on point for fans of multiversity.

A fantastic jumping on point for new readers, the new Justice League series is top notch across the board, setting up events that could effect the DC universe as a whole, or serve to show how the new leagues are formed, either way, I'm really excited for what the future brings!

I do enjoy it when the start of a new series seems to serve a purpose, rather than just being a gimmick for a quick buck. This arc so far feels like a good jumping on point for a new reader, but different and interesting enough to keep a seasoned veteran interested. Great book.

Amazing art saves this otherwise average read, I think Snyder needs to find his team book legs he's trying too hard to set up 14 stories at once, I much prefer the route Tynion went in Detective Comics recently, making each arc a vignette highlighting a different team member. Not to say Snyder isn't possibly building to that but I feel like this opening arc is starting to unravel a bit.

A fine issue that was a bit lacking in weight when it should have had some. Hopefully this miniseries picks up.

Awesome series that is really rewarding for longtime readers, possibly not super new reader friendly.

Although I'm enjoying the series this issue didn't seem up to par story or artwise, hoping it picks up again.

This series is way better than it should be, if you like Spidey give this a shot you'll probably like it too.

Superior Spidey is quickly becoming a book I look forward to every month.

How is it we have 6 ongoing Spidey titles right now and seemingly the lower profile they are the better they are?

A good issue in a great series, I can't wait for this team up I never dreamed of.

This series is one of my favorites on the shelf right now.

Really fun issue despite Gwenpool being in it, joking kinda.

If you like this series, the war of the realms or even the west coast avengers check this out you might like it.

A great entry in an amazing series. You need to be reading this series it's top notch.

A really fun issue, I'm definitely going to look a little deeper into this series.

A fun issue that is by no means required reading in the War of the Realms (in fact it takes pains not to overlap with the main series), but still recommended if you like seeing Iron Man a bit out of his wheelhouse.

A solid step up from the last series, I'll gladly spend my money on it provided quality keeps up. An interesting first arc. Can't wait to see Symbiote god!

Might warrant a higher rating depending on how the rest of the story pans out, but I was much more impressed with the Miles vs. Venom fight than the big villain reveal. Hopefully, the villain evolves somewhere beyond menacing dialogue while casually crushing police helicopters, a step down from screaming how humans are all worms on the ruins of Avengers Mansion. Which is to say he could be Kang, the Challenger, Thanos, Loki or anyone else. Of course, on the other hand, all of those villains are iconic, and I could be reading things wrong. As a friend of mine is fond of saying, your mileage may vary.

Very gratifying single issue but felt like it had very minor short-term effects despite some very big long-term effects including a Symbiote origin retcon and at long last an origin for All-Black the Necrosword. The issue itself makes a great one shot but I feel it's a weak link as part of an arc.

A decent facet of a larger story that has little merit of its own besides the art but just exists as a cog within the wheel. If it's on your pull you've already got it but if you don't I wouldn't consider it essential reading.

A can't miss the conclusion to Donny Cates first Venom arc can't wait for the aftermath!

Interesting start to the second arc, which I'm not completely sold on, we'll see how we feel once Eddie gets to San Fransisco.

A really interesting direction to take this book, obviously the symbiote will be back someday but for now this book has a really unique tone, almost like a monster movie or even something out there like Insomnia. Check it out.

Strange that this arc isn't a Venom arc, it's an Eddie Brock arc, yet it's one of the best Venom arcs I can remember reading. I really hope it pays off.

I'm impressed that this series is selling as well as it is, usually stuff this well written goes over people's heads and gets dropped. #betterthanwatchmen? You decide.

The arc ends as quickly as it started with no small amount of intrigue. This Venomless Venom arc will make a great TPB.

A good arc if you're a fan of classic Venom, but you might want to skip it if you're following the current Venom series for more than surface level fun.

One tie in book down and a half dozen to go, this event is almost over and I'm coming out the other side.

The art by guest artist Juan Gedeon (filling in while Ryan Stegman OBLITERATES THE ABSOLUTE HELL out of some pencils on Absolute Carnage, the preview images are incredible, see below) is great, with Eddie and Dylan looking right on model with the rest of the series and a bit of nuance added in these less extreme situations. Sin Eater looks rad as well as the way cool (artistically) 90s as all get out Venom cutaways. So great.

A great miniseries for fans of Batman in the 90s, or new fans curious what a good Batman book looks like. I can't wait for next issue and couldn't recommend it more!

A really fun intelligent take on a strangely under tackled genre that infuses a bit of humor in with the nightmares to make a incredibly satisfying book to read and a really entertaining story.

I love this series, although it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but whatever, more books for me!

Really solid start for Conan at Marvel. A great jumping on point for readers new and old! Highly recommended.

So far this series feels to be in the vein of previous Conan series with one off stories servicing an overarching narrative, you can pick this issue up having not read the prior and follow it just fine. Highly recommended.

I don't hate this issue but in my opinion much of the bad outweighs the good, with most of the interesting stuff happening off panel, a wholly unnecessarily long winded speech from a priest of Mitra for basically no reason, and the final resolution being possibly a literal act of a god.

The art by Gerardo Zaffino is stellar, just great. It was a little sketchy at points but looks great. The lion in particular looks so good, I love it. There are a couple splash pages that I would seriously consider poster worthy, and the panel with Conan flying through the air attacking the guys on the dock is totally getting snagged as a new cover photo.

An okay Conan story with great art, maybe a new reader would find it less offensive.

I'm sorry to say I don't like the cover much, I love Esad Ribic and artistically it's fine, I just don't like the look of the kids or the witch, they could be triplets and the kids look about 73 years old.

A decent issue that I'll likely revisit at some point, it isn't perfect but it's one of the better in the series.

An issue that matters in the grand scheme of things as much as any other in this series. Which is to say it doesn't. As a standalone this issue is pretty toothless but as an arc I feel it just serves the purpose I've predicted.

A fun issue for a less seasoned reader that might feel a little too familiar to those more familiar.

This issue is a decent anniversary issue that pays a lot of homage to stories past. For an oversize issue the price tag isn't bad and I'd call it worth your time.

(Long story on that last one haha) or on Twitter @johnbatusijack

All in all, I thought this issue was good fun, and the art was killer. Definitely decent fun and a good start for new fans, but also full of small details to keep longtime fans interested. Feels like a nice campy bronze age tale at times, although slightly modernized.

This mini continues to be one of my favorite things that have been done with Superman of late, I will be a fan for as long as this quality keeps up.

So far Brian Bendis has succeeded in creating a Superman miniseries that is fun for all varieties of Superman fans, despite some detractors I've heard overwhelmingly positive things, it even passed the crabby comic store person test, my buddy at Arcane Comics in Seattle who usually hates everything has even said it's pretty good, which is a test not many books pass.

A little bit of a step down from previous issues solely because it's a bit light on content (basically 3 things happen in the entire issue) but visuals and pitch-perfect character work more than make up for it, I'm really excited for the finale.

As a whole, the 3 stories left me fairly happy with this sharp directional change we've found ourselves amidst. But not without some reservations, I would like to know what happened to the Corps sooner rather than later.

The colors by Marte Gracia are very dynamic, especially when *redacted for spoiler throws his *redacted for spoiler to get *redacted for spoiler out of *redacted for spoiler, saving the team.

I'm really hoping this series picks up a bit, I really want to love it.

This series continues to entertain despite having some flow issues, worth your time.

I'm gonna keep buying this series in the hopes it tightens it's focus, but as of now it's a little tough to follow at times.

This is the series I've been waiting for, so great.

A really fun issue, but a bit light in some aspects.

Worth a read if you like Cosmic Marvel, but not vital to the main GOTG series if you're not.

A trio of dark tales set in the dead of winter, this issue is worth your time if you're a fan of the characters, but new readers might feel lost.

If you like Conan you'll like this blood soaked tale!

I like this arc so far, we'll see where we end up.

Unfortunately this is the weakest entry yet in a series that I desperately want to love.

A fine issue that moves the story forward adequately.

A good end to a slightly overextended but otherwise decent first Savage Sword of Conan v2 arc.

If you are a fan of classic Savage Sword give this one shot a try, I think you'll have fun.

A solid start to what promises to be a good arc.

A promising issue that feels a bit overly familiar I'm holding out hope we get some of that Thomas panache by the end!

I know I have some complaints but I really like this issue as a standalone and recommend it

This is a great comic, everyone should read it.

A pretty issue to look at that doesn't do much for me.

If you're wanting more War from your Avengers, or a little more story from the main series, this issue is fairly worth your time, despite being more or less unnecessary.

War of the Realms Strikeforce: The Land of Giants #1 is a great issue for fans of good issues.

A skippable issue that is still really good and fun if you're looking for a little moreWar of the Realms.

A solid start to what is certain to be a good arc from Superman legend Dan Jurgens. I'm really excited to see where this arc takes us, and really hope to see more Booster Gold!

This was a great week for books! 2018 is the year of the comic book! I cannot wait for the week after next! Zod is going to be in Action (in the future, or an alternate timeline, not sure) and Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps (which I am also reviewing this week *spoiler* it was amazing!) Seriously this arc might be my favorite since Dan Jurgens' triumphant return! Also, only 4 more issues until QUADRUPLE DIGITS!!!!!!

This arc is seriously can't miss, and ties into one of my favorite Rebirth series, so naturally this issue is an instant favorite. I can't get enough of Jurgens on Superman and his creation Booster Gold! He has such a firm grasp on the characters and it really shows in the story, even Skeets is fleshed out a bit at points. I can't wait for next issue.

Great finale to a great arc, knocked a couple points off for the aforementioned complaints, but definitely worth a read for a fan of Time's Finest duo! It will definitely make for an interesting trade with all the different artists, I'm sure it'll be fine.

All in all, I feel like this issue was acceptable, not great, but like I said, at the end of a long run an issue wrapping things up is pretty necessary so I won't rail on this one too hard, next stop 1000!!!!

Phenomenal milestone in the history of the Man of Steel, I'm touched that I was a part of it, and the more I think about it the happier I am, here's to Superman, I hope he goes another thousand issues, if I'm still alive in 2098 when it happens I'll probably review it then too. Joking. Anyway, a huge thanks to everyone who worked to make this article, and the hundreds of creators involved in the hero over the years.

Flawless art, pretty good developing story, I have a good feeling about Bendis' Reign over Superman, if the last round of issues is any indication I think Bendis will do just fine, excited for next issue.

Decent second entry in Bendis' Action Comics run, but I'm still not 100% sold on handing him the keys to the kingdom just yet. Time will tell how history views this run.

I might like some Superman in this Superman book. Maybe next time.

Worth reading if you're following Lois and Superman, but if you're following the arc and you skipped this issue you wouldn't miss out on anything you didn't already know.

Loved Venomized Spider-Man, he was cracking me up, a bunch happened this issue I didn't describe I highly recommend picking it up. The end was pretty great although wholly expected. Anyone who likes Spidey or Venom or any of their stories will likely enjoy this crossover.

A great story for fans new and old and a great point for fans turned away by the previous creative team to jump back into Marvel's greatest solo book. It feels like I never left.

I've now read this issue 4 times and highly enjoyed it all 4, I'd call it a win, this arc is a great jumping on point for any new readers, and a return to form for older readers jilted by the huge changes made during Dan Slott's run.

Really fun start to this new Spider-man series, glad to be reading it and looking forward to more, if nothing else than to figure out what the heck that b story from the first issue was about because that was insane! Eagerly awaiting next issue!

A pretty fun issue that provided some interesting plot points to be resolved later and a few really great panels. All in all it's kind of hard to say much about this issue though because it didn't make a huge impression on me. As a single issue, it doesn't seem overly vital, although I'm sure it will be a good facet of the larger story once more events unfold.

Not a bad issue, but a lot of lazy writing makes this issue pretty dang toothless, and in this day and age books are too expensive to buy if you're iffy about them.

Better than last arc, this arc so far hasn't blown my mind but I will continue buying it for now.

An interesting and fun direction, but whether or not it's a good story remains to be seen.

Cool start to what promises to be an interesting series, I'll definitely be picking this up come March 14th, it'll be one to watch I'm sure. If the future covers are any indication this is going to go some crazy places!

Slightly less dynamic than last issue, but definitely due to a large set up for the final act of the miniseries, I can't wait for next issue, I'm so sad we're over halfway through.

Decent seasonal 80 pager, but summer's Beach Blanket Bad Guys special remains the one to beat. Worth your time if you find it, although for 10$ your mileage may vary.

A stellar entry in a really fun series, this issue and i suspect the next can practically be read alone. Really fun.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this series but I've been hurt before, so I'm playing the next couple by ear to see how I like the story.

Fun issue but as I said I want to see more cosmic stuff. Let's get the Earth stuff over with.

The art by Robert Gill continues to be a bit stylized, but it's growing on me. I really like the way he plots action scenes and several characters look gritty and excellent, I'm still not totally onboard with the way he draws Starlord but hardly anything to drop the book over.

A seriously fun series that doesn't try to be anything it isn't.

A fun series with one lingering problem that will surely plague it until it's resolved.

A big ending to this issue helps (hopefully) push the plot forward some, next issue will determine the strength of this arc compared to the first one, I am optimistic writer James Haick will pull through.

I'd call this issue worth your time and so far this series is a great jumping on point for Thor while still respecting what came before. I have a feeling Cates is gonna give us a Thor run to remember.

A decent issue... I wish was an excellent issue.

All in all, a decent annual with a handful of stories I may read again someday.

I had a good time reading this and you might also if you don't focus on the timeline too much.

I will read this again at some point it's a quick fun read.

Great start, if this is the direction this series is headed I will very much enjoy it. I've been waiting on trade paperbacks with Nightwing but man, I might step it up and buy single issues with this team, I knew I should have been buying singles! Anyway, you want this book, you'll like it.

I am loving this book lately, the previous creative team was great but this first arc from the new creative team is shaping up to be a memorable one. Fingers crossed this momentum keeps up, this is how you hook and build an audience. I have a great feeling about this run.

Man, I am loving this arc! The Judge is cool and it's more of a mystery than a superhero story, I don't think there's been a ton of action, but I've hardly noticed super fun arc. I think this arc will be remembered as a part of Robin and Nightwing canon for some time. See you next issue!

An awesome issue within a great arc, tons of fun and really beautiful to look at. Couldn't recommend this series more! The Judge might be one of the better new villains in recent memory, hope he sticks around!

Really fun one shot, that is right on the cusp of a standalone story, I think you can read and enjoy it on it's own but the Venom main series does a lot of the initial stage setting. Really fun, can't wait for the next one.

A fine issue if you're closely following events or looking for closure for Carnage USA, nothing real exciting for average folks.

A nice entry in the Web of Venom series, which is peripheral one shots centering on other characters in the story. I'd call this one fairly essential to the mainline story as it sets up a lot of stuff that will come up later I'm sure.

Some big time payoff in these Web of Venom one shots, I'm very excited for Absolute Carnage now!

So far these one shots feel like a far cry from the cash grab nature of most one shot tie ins, being full of backstory and substance. I couldn't recommend more.

I'm really enjoying this series, I'm sad its past halfway over. Definitely worth a read if you were at all a fan of Dixon's work in the 90's.

Not a terrible issue by any means, just not overly compelling on its own, as a larger part of the story I'm sure it'll work fine, just largely forgettable in the short term. That said the overall story is great and based heavily on lore I'm veeery familiar with if you couldn't tell.

A decent issue that, although it takes a step back, still manages to entertain.

A decent issue that is somewhat pivotal to the Asian continent's place in the War of the Realms.

Decent fun in it's own right this series seems to be stepping away from the war and becoming it's own thing.

Really enjoying this series, certainly more than the main Batman title. Worth your time.

Getting to the point where the novelty of this series is wearing off and mid mini slump is evident, if next issue isn't better I might not finish this 6 issue series.

All in all fairly skippable but definitely has a couple fun moments.

A decent miniseries that is optional in terms of necessity to the event but still recommended for a fuller picture of the War of the Realms.

Fun issue of a great crossover, if we could get even the slightest bit of explanation why the city is there and whatnot, I will like it even more.

Bit heavy on setup, so the next couple of issues might be fun where this one wasn't.

A somewhat fun relatively standalone issue. I would have preferred something more substantial to the plot, if we're just gonna tread water until the upcoming event what is the point of buying the next several issues? As I said in earlier Amazing Spider-man issues a couple months back cramming a book full of great cameos and guest stars doesn't always improve the story. That said my personal enjoyment of the collection of characters in this issue did make it a pretty rewarding read somehow.

Only buy this issue if you're closely following a year and a half old half baked plot thread that will almost certainly be forgotten soon.

A solid issue, if this is the direction the series is going I'm back on board for now.

As I said last issue,this is the book I've wanted for months and I love it.

This arc has got me excited for this title, and 2 issues until War of the Realms! Woooo!

A tidy ending to a fun arc, that left me feeling like I could have used a bit more.

A decent issue that manages to move the main Avengers plot forward more than the last 3 have and still be a WOTR tie in.

A fun issue that kind of matters even if you didn't read the War of the Realms (so glad I'm almost done typing that forever) next issue GHOST RIDERS IN HELL (allegedly).

Jump on this issue if you want or read the vampire arc first it works either way this story should be decent enough.

A skippable entry unless for some bizarre reason you're a fan of stupid Airwave.

A decent start if you like sword and sorcery tales and (maybe?) strong females. A bit too early to tell on that second one.

Funny comic for a fan of either character and a fairly accessible and more or less PG version of Deadpool, somewhat violent but more or less appropriate for younger readers despite hilariously saying for mature audiences only on the front.

An interesting issue in the series, although not really a can't miss arc if you aren't particularly interested in the Inhumans in particular. I'm curious where all this is going and eagerly await the next issue for the conclusion.

An excellent sendoff to a decent series, definitely worth a read, I wish all the best to the team and look forward to their next project!

A neat little standalone issue that exists to team Red Hood with Batwoman and practically nothing else, I didn't hate it but unless you're invested in either character maybe skip this one.

A decent issue with a lot of setup for later stuff and a bit of wrap up of previous stuff. A lot of flow is lost in the middle ground but otherwise I thought the issue was pretty fun.

Weird issue that might matter later, hard to say now.

Really fun issue but can we get some definitive direction in this series please?

A really good time for longtime fans, possibly a bit confusing for new readers.

A decent issue in possibly my favorite arc in some time for Red Hood

Yet another issue that feels like a wrap up, and again I ask is it ending soon?

A gorgeous issue that doesn't give us much to sink our teeth into. I'm hoping next issue gets moving.

A fine issue in a fine series. This book is much better than I expected, which is still just fine not great.

I would consider this issue worth picking up, but it's hard to say if it gave me anything to make me want to keep reading the series besides that last page, is one page enough? With that many dinosaurs present I'd say yes.

Not a great example of this series, which I am otherwise a huge fan of. If it wasn't on my pull list I probably would've put this book back on the shelf.

I'm still loving this arc, I'd call the new creative team a resounding success, last review I said I couldn't decide if this arc was trying to get too meta introspective and now that we're a couple issues in I'll say Si Spurrier seems to be pulling it off. Here's to hoping the quality of this book continues to be as good as it has been, and doesn't devolve into something lesser like the previous arc.

Decent arc so far, but it feels like it's building to one of two super predictable outcomes, which takes away from its impact overall. I'll be following it through to the end, but I feel like I already know what happens. By the way, if you have the chance get the B covers by Andrea Sorrentino, they're killer and seem like they'll form a set once they're done, downright framable!

A decent issue of Champions but if you bought it as part of War of the Realms you might be disappointed.

As the series begins to head towards it's end, an unsurprising twist leads into a potentially lackluster finish.

As far as crossovers go this one is awesome, and not too extensive or intimidating. I like it when crossovers are somewhat contained and don't force readers to buy a bunch of books they wouldn't otherwise lest they are crucial tie-ins (I'm looking at you, Deadpool Secret Empire tie-in issues!) All in all I would recommend this book to others.

A good to great issue, the Shocker fight alone makes it worth your time, everything else is just a bonus. Totally recommend it if you like the character at all, maybe less so if you aren't already semi-interested, hard to recommend the last couple issues before a renumber. (Just ask me, proud owner of Batman issues 620-713, last 20 are basically pointless thanks to the new 52)

I really don't want to seem like I'm being unfair to this issue as the creators have no control on when it comes out for the most part, it wasn't delayed that I recall.

An excellent entry in a good series, excited for next issue.

This issue is worth reading for a die-hard Inhumans fan, but I don't see regular fans sticking around much longer if the book quality does not improve.

I feel like this issue was a slight step down from the Man of Steel miniseries, although as I said I liked more than I didn't and overall it was pretty good. A good starting point for new fans, and a different take for old ones.

I feel like this issue fell short of the other 4, and far short of 3 of those. Read parts 1-3 and pretend the second 2 don't exist, you'll be happier that way.

A fine issue if you're a 14 year old who wants to feel connected to the War of the Realms.

If you are a fan of Thor, he isn't in this book.

An important facet of Aaron's ongoing triple narrative in the long life of Thor.

A good penultimate issue to a phenomenal 7 year run on Thor one issue to go then next stop King Thor!

A fine issue with minimal impact, pick it up if you're a fan of the story and want to see it from a new perspective, hardly can't miss.

Definitely a skippable tie in, unless they manage to actually succeed, which would make this 3 issue series pivotal in Thor canon, I doubt that will happen.

I'm glad there's only one issue left of this nonsense. How they made this 3 issue mini feel like a slog is beyond me.

This mini ends strongly enough. Honestly, if you just read the last issue with some minor context clues you get the whole story.

If you aren't a fan of the League of Realms avoid this issue, if you are avoid it more.

I'm so torn between what basically equates to League of Realms fanservice (is that a thing) and story problems I don't like. I want to like this issue badly but I don't.

A passable end to a fairly skippable tie in that unfortunately is vaguely important to Jason Aaron's Thor run.

Why did I agree to this? The art props up the score of this series so thoroughly, it's attractive nonsense.

Read this issue as a prologue to the upcoming stuff and it's good, but as an epilogue to War of the Realms it's about as welcome as getting grabbed on a city bus. If only there was some way to give the issue a good score but the story line a bad score. I'm also dinging the cover hard for the banner and having Malekith (who isn't even in the book) on it.

Although not bad, this series could be so much better at times, and this issue has been the weakest so far. The next issue could be the deciding factor on whether this series succeeds or fails in terms of storytelling. The issues seem weak on their own but work well when reading in succession, a common issue with comics these days. If you're going to lay a story out in a way that only really works in trade form then don't release single issues.

I read this issue on a boat and was sorely tempted to throw it overboard. Do not read this comic for any reason.

If you aren't reading and reviewing this entire event don't punish yourself with this nonsense.

If you've got $8 and are at the comic book store, buy something else.
