You Don't Read Comics - Russ Bickerstaff
Jul 15, 2026At some point it just kind of feels like Camp is showing-off. As witnessed from the winding course of the series, Camp has a profoundly fertile imagination. Any ONE of the issues in the series could launch it’s own series. A writer like Geoff Johns would build an entire universe of comics around the premise for this one issue. Camp’s a bit too restless for that. He’s going to keep moving. There are too many stories to tell. With any luck, he’s going to keep going with it for at least a few more years. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Jul 14, 2026Assorted Crisis Events #9 reminds readers why this series remains one of comics’ most imaginative ongoing titles. Deniz Camp finds fresh ways to explore exploitation and economic anxiety through a wildly original premise, while Eric Zawadzki fills every page with visual ideas that reward careful reading. Equal parts dark satire, science fiction, and emotional character study, this issue delivers one of the series’ strongest installments and builds toward a finale that leaves a lasting impression.

Fanlight Zone - Richard Coryell
Jul 15, 2026Assorted Crisis Events #9 is a great return issue for this amazing and fun anthology series. The odd story and fun artwork help the reader get lost in the more serious message driven narrative. This is why this series is so beloved and revered. The fact that you can put an important message/lesson inside of a fun world helps drive home said message well not being too preachy. If you haven’t given Assorted Crisis Events a chance yet, this is the perfect opportunity to pick up a copy at your LCS this week and find out what you’ve been missing. Read Full Review

The Super Powered Fancast - Deron Generally
Jul 15, 2026Camp continues to craft a fun, funny and interesting story in this series and this issue does a great job of continuing to build on the strange and unique world Camp is building. The story is fun with some interesting and entertaining twists throughout the story. I continue to enjoy the world of this story, but I am wondering if there is a through line to the world of this series that I am not getting because I can’t seem to see a place where these stories are leading me as a reader.

Greatness has returned after nearly six months away and it continues to be...great. This time, it's tackling the current state of the job market and, really, economic inequality as a whole in that regard. That said, I really loved this one, which shouldn't be too much of a surprise if you know me. Very relevant, unfortunately, and something that I think reflects a lot of the lower, and even middle, class's frustrations with what working/jobs have become as a result of greedy corporations and the upper class, myself included.

Loses me a bit towards the end when it starts to turn into generic sci fi action and focus more on the overarching war (not interested in that), but this is still one of the best issues of the series. This one always works better with a narrow focus and this did that quite well. Not trying to cram someone’s entire life into an issue and playing to Deniz’s strengths with some didactic but much needed social commentary.
