The writing is insightful enough to help us learn about the characters. The art is diverse in appearance and entertaining. TALES OF SUSPENSE #101 is definitely worth reading. Read Full Review

Overall Tales of Suspense #101 is a very enjoyable issue and a great continuation to the first part, deepening the mystery and intrigue of the Red Ledger. I can't wait to see more of the bickering pair as they're just so funny working together! That cliffhanger really has me baffled and slightly worried for one of them though… Read Full Review

"Tales of Suspense" #101 is a fantastic second outing for the series only slightly marred by a predictable ending easily forgiven thanks to beautiful artwork and an amusing sense of humor. Read Full Review

Tales of Suspense #101 is an entertaining and kinetic continuation to the Red Ledger story. The characters interact in charming and enjoyable ways, and the art by Foreman and Rosenberg brings the story to life in an excellent manner. While there are flaws, they are vastly overshadowed by the positives. This one definitely gets a recommendation. Give it a read. Read Full Review

A fun little adventure with spies, explosions, and witty one-liners will keep the reader entertained. The art, although slightly erratic, captures the vibe of what the story is telling. If youve been following this series, the ending will make you want the next issue, post-haste. Read Full Review

Where this issue falls short is with the art. Stylistically, this book is all over the place. Sometimes, the characters are drawn in a simple but elegant way. Low detail works well, and Foreman pulls it off well. However, there are certain panels that have a weird amount of detail compared to the rest of the book. This is not to say that these panels are necessarily bad, but the art could use a single, consistent style. Though all of the art is solid, the disparity is noticeable, even to a person who cares much more about the writing of comics than the art. Read Full Review

This book to me seemed like a slower burn than the first issue, but it definitely picked up when the action got started. Though I predicted the assassin wasn't Black Widow, I was only partially correct. The banter between Clint and Bucky is pretty funny with Bucky going back and forth about his likes and dislikes for Hawkeye. You really start to see the differences between the two characters in response to the ever changing situation in their environment. Their personalities merge well. This is especially complimented with the mutual connection to Natasha they share. Read Full Review

Rosenberg does pretty well on his end, and I always appreciate characters who come from a deep dive into Marvel continuity. Now I want to why they're back. Read Full Review

The dynamic between the two lead characters is a lot of fun even if Rosenberg does play Bucky a little more straight and rigid in order to make the jokes land a little easier. But the two are still just chasing down this would-be Black Widow so he issue really lives and dies with your enjoyment of the interplay between the erstwhile Thunderbolts. Read Full Review

The ex-boyfriends schtick feels unintentionally awkward and though the pairing is nice, inconsistent art negatively impacts the effectiveness of this story. Read Full Review

The revival of TALES OF SUSPENSE had been, so far, such a paragraph pleasant surprise. Issue #101 was even better than the previous installment. Excellently written and drawn...kinetic and fun...TALES OF SUSPENSE #101 is the perfect action movie/spy drama/ buddy cop book that I didn't know I wanted.
SCORE: 8.8

Normally I make fun of how quickly dead characters are resurrected, but I admit to being a little disappointed that wasn’t Natasha Romanov at the end of this comic. I miss her.

Clint and Bucky buddy up and manage to be both productive and hilarious. Matthew Rosenberg's script is close to flawless, albeit slanted toward the "lovable loser" Fraction style of Hawkeye. Travel Foreman's art is challenging in a mostly-positive way. I suspect he's extended the split between goofus Clint and gallant Bucky into the way he draws them. Clint's anatomy looks a little questionable in the first scene, though - he appears to dislocate all the joints in his arm when he's chucking that sandwich. Also, tiny coloring nitpick: Since when is the GWB red?

A solid read with some pretty good art.

Solid story. Halfway decent art.
