My least favorite issue so far, but still a pretty good one. I feel like that's, kind of, a testament to how good the previous fourteen issues have been. That said, Messina does a solid job filling in for Marco Checchetto. As for the story, I understand criticisms towards the real-time structure, and I agree with them to a certain degree. However, it doesn't really bother me as much as it does others, luckily. more

I knew this was a dream sequence from the very beginning, though it was still very interesting. Some solid action and writing from Momoko, in my opinion. After that ending, also, I'm definitely interested to see where things go from here. Hopefully this run continues to go upwards in trajectory, in terms of its quality.

Aside from the misleading cover, this was a solid issue. Nothing much really happens outside of the conversation between T'Challa and Erik, in my opinion. The ending was kind of gnarly, though. Nieto doesn't do a bad job filling in on the interiors here whatsoever, but I will always miss Stefano Caselli whenever he skips an issue.

This was another great issue. However, the main thing I'd like to talk about here is kind of a really big deal, in my opinion, and a major spoiler for the issue. So, yeah. I just thought I'd have that disclaimer before getting into it. Anyways, yeah. Man, Bucky being Red Skull is actually so crazy and I absolutely love that idea. I'm really looking forward to seeing whether or not it gets followed up on at some point in the future. I'm really hoping it does. more

Pretty art with nice story beats, in my opinion, though, I feel like the pacing was a little fast for me here. This title is arguably the one suffering the most from the real-time structure of the Ultimate Universe. Sometimes it really feels like we're just dropped into a random time where things have just happened without us knowing, or having any sort of indicator(s) as to what's happened in-between the current issue and the previous. more

Good stuff here with really nice art from Checchetto. Kind of a major spoiler here, but I was a little shocked to see Harry die in this issue. Although, I'm hoping he's not really dad (somehow?), as I feel there's more to be done with his character and it might be a little bit of a wasted opportunity to get rid of him at this point.

Not quite as good as the first issue, but this was still pretty enjoyable. Cappuccio knocks it out of the park yet again, while Condon continues building an interesting setting for this version of Logan. Really glad I'm liking this after not having read much of Condon's work beforehand.

Not a bad start to the second year of this title. Hill presents a fairly well-written story that picked up a bit towards the end with the physical embodiment of vibranium. Also, I have to mention the fantastic art from Caselli. He always does such an amazing job whenever he's on the job.

My least favorite issue so far, but still a good one nonetheless. Martín does a better fill-in job here than Gabriel Walta did back in Issue #4, which was nice. I'm really looking forward to more of this version of Mr. Freeze. Furthermore, hopefully we get Man-Bat, Poison Ivy, and Hugo Strange in the near future after they were referenced here.

A pretty good epilogue that shows the relation between this universe's Kal-El and the Kents. I would have liked a little more between them, and maybe we'll end up getting that in future issues, but I still enjoyed it. Giandomenico does a nice job of filling in here, as well. I may not have enjoyed this as much as some other issues of the book thus far, but I'm still really looking forward to what's next. Also, in a bit of a spoiler, I don't know why I was as surprised as I was to see Ra's al Ghul at the end. more

I have loved every single thing I've read from DWJ, but Do a Powerbomb remains a top favourite. It translates the greatest things about wrestling (its beautiful violence and over-the-top characters) so well into comic form.

Was super excited to see Ewing attached to a Green Lantern title, and he definitely delivered. Linsday is an artist I haven't really seen a whole lot of, but I like his work here. I particularly think he does a fantastic job of showing the fear in Hal's eyes, with his interaction with the cop at the beginning being when I first noticed it. I know that, after this was announced, Ewing mentioned this would be more horror-based. With what I saw from Lindsay here, I think he can prove himself to be a great choice for this book. Aside from the art, the story was really well-paced and super interesting, in my opinion. Really looking forward to what comes next from this side of the Absolute Universe. more

Camp & Chris Allen make Ultimate Luke Cage into invincible Mumia Abu-Jamal and whereas any number of lesser writers might have been making a glib statement to please their social media following, Camp & Allen take the assignment seriously enough to give it heft and meaning. The best issue so far

Camp continues to kill it on this book. A very well-done analysis of Luke Cage's life in this new universe, as well as social commentary for the real world beyond comics. While I would have liked to see Luke join the team, I think what we got for Luke here was just fantastic and I appreciate the reason for him not joining. Furthermore, Allen did really nice work on the interiors.

A good amount of things to like here, but it does feel very fast-paced for what's going on. The art from Momoko is nice, though. I do also appreciate the references to the other Ultimate titles, with Black Cat and Storm, specifically, being briefly shown around the second half.

The change of the interior art from Hayden Sherman to Mattia de Iulis was a little jarring, but it fits with this story, in my opinion, and Iulis is absolutely fantastic. So, I can't really complain that much. Aside from that, this was a well-written first half and I'm looking forward to more.

Wow, this blew me away. I hadn't read anything by Camp when this was initially announced, so I was unsure how to feel about this. After reading Ultimates, though, I definitely got a lot more interested. That said, this is a different thing entirely, and I mean that in a good way. Camp continues to really establish himself as one of the most exciting rising stars in comics. Furthermore, I have to mention Rodriguez, as well, who continues to also deliver on amazing work with this book. more

Very interesting start. Even managed to have some emotional weight in there even if we don't see Barry all that much. The new interpretation of that old iconic imagery really hits home for the reader as well as Wally. Really excited to see where this goes.

A super intriguing start here. A lot of unanswered question that I'm looking forward to learning more about. While the format of the flashbacks and flash-forwards messed with things just a tad, at least in my opinion, I did think Lemire put this together very well overall. Robles delivers on some super clean interiors, as well.

The best issue of the series so far. Some nice art from Dragotta here, the story from Snyder had a great balance, in terms of its pacing, and some really cool moments coming from both the action-centric sections and the more character-focused sections of the book. I'm really looking forward to whatever comes next.

A very well-written issue depicting what happened at the end of Krypton, which felt particularly relevant in the current landscape in the real world. I have to acknowledge Sandoval, as well, as he's doing a fantastic job on the interiors, plus this cover especially.

Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman are well on their way to producing an all-time great Wonder Woman run. This version of Diana represents everything that's great about the character. She's smart, brave, compassionate, and willing to put others first. Her solution to defeat the Tetracide was brilliant as well as uplifting. I can't wait for the next issue, wish it was coming out next week instead of next month.

Oh and I should mention Sherman's ridiculously great art. The action pages leave you on the edge of your seat and his expert paneling is joy to read. more

Yeah. Great stuff once again in my favorite issue thus far. Sherman continues to put out career-defining work, while Thompson presents a beautifully-crafted story and script. I'm so glad this has delivered, and then some, after being my favorite of the initial three Absolute books that were announced.

Still pretty interesting as we near the end of the first arc. I'm assuming that was Barbara Gordon that briefly encountered Bruce as he was going under the city, so I'm interested to see how Snyder & Dragotta follow up on that. Otherwise, just good stuff. This is still my least favorite of the current trio of Absolute books, but that's really saying something about the other two when I'm scoring this as high as I am. more

This is a time when it feels like practically everyone feels helpless and hopeless beneath the wealthy elites whose boot is forever on our necks, and ever-increasing numbers of desperate people are looking at this as broken world as one that can only be cleansed with blood. The idea of a newly-arrived Superman (who can fairly be assumed to be as non-lethal as any other version) being seen as the savior of oppressed people whose only dream left is "I pray he will kill you all" introduces fascinating moral questions. Aaron & Sandoval are thus far wisely declining to take the traditional easy way out by simply having their protagonist give a big speech clarifying his position and offering easy answers to impossible questions, and I could not be happier. I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this book, but four issues in it's really winning me over. more

Definitely my favorite issue so far. Even though Kal-El wasn't in the issue until the second half, he was so cool when he finally showed up. The focus on Lois was nice and well-written, also. I'm really happy with the way Aaron has handled her character thus far.

I unironically want nothing more from a superhero comic than a creative team with the fearless self-assurance to write something formally and emotionally breathtaking like the Circe flashback and then follow it with over-the-top surreal superhero bullshit like the giant sword, and to make it truly work. This is everything I love about superhero comics
