Feb 09, 2022Overall, Maestro: World War M #1 is an excellent first chapter to the ongoing saga of Maestro. The story by David is astounding. The art by Germn Peralta and Pasqual Ferry is amazing. Altogether, the debut issue proves just how formidable a villain Maestro is in this final chapter. Read Full Review

Feb 07, 2022Maestro: World War M #1 reads like a perfect capstone to mark 35 years since Peter David's character-defining Hulk run began. Do. Not. Miss it. Read Full Review

Feb 07, 2022Peter David instantly starts off with so many moving pieces providing so many different angles the narrative could go. And the best part is, we know MAESTRO survives. He has to or FUTURE IMPERFECT won't happen. Yet, even though we know the end result, David still manages to keep readers on the edge of their seats wanting more. Read Full Review

Feb 15, 2022It's all been leading to this and now Peter David has to bring the Maestro Trilogy to a conclusion. Given how good this issue is, I can't wait for the next as this promises to be an action-packed roller-coaster. David gives us a storyline which does not pull it's punches, literally! And with the supporting characters he's deploying, this looks to be a Battle Royale for Maestro. Not only is this a fascinating read, the artwork from Peralta and Aburtov jumps off the pages and makes you take notice. Highly recommended book for all Hulk/Marvel fans. Read Full Review

AIPT - David Brooke
Feb 07, 2022Maestro: World War M #1 is a good start to a story that'll make you feel for the Abomination in a broken future. It is reliant on the previous stories to feel its full effect, however, and Maestro oddly is not the main character in this go of Peter David's trilogy. Read Full Review

Comic Crusaders - C.V.R. The Bard
Feb 09, 2022A touching send off for the God, as Maestro could only dream to be, but alas, Perez and David's character takes too much pleasure in destruction; something that Hulk fans love the Green Goliath for (and are sure not to be shorted of) when they pick up World War Maestro Act 1.

Feb 13, 2022I would recommend this one if you are a fan of the characters and the post apocalypse setting although Marvel seems to be doing a lot of that lately. Not sure how this links up to any of the other storylines they have running if at all. Read Full Review

This first issue starts things off well and including the Original Human Torch is genius! Being a prequal, though, I am interested to see where this story goes.

This start really impresses me, though I didn't like the previous minserieses much. The dialog is still rather dull, but the art is gorgeous and the script structure is nigh-impeccable. Plus it helps that this issue features Abomination as a proper anti-hero rather than Maestro as an out-and-out villain protagonist.

Peter David is a writer that I'd say is fairly consistent. He doesn't usually write top tier comics, but you'll hardly ever get something that isn't, at the very least, competent. The worst you get with him is bland. And while some later Symbiote Spider-Man miniseries definitely felt bland, the Maestro trilogy has been consistently solid. This issue is no different. If you've read the previous miniseries, there's no reason not to keep going.
