Great Captain America & Hawkeye issue here, as I quite enjoy the dynamic between the two. Plus, I liked what we got from Pietro and Wanda here, even if it was, likely, just for the one issue. Frigeri made everything look fantastic, as well. Nothing much to report here, honestly. Just a really good comic book.

Yes, finally. Mary Jane finally shows some sort of distress about what's been going on over the course of this book. Not just with Peter, but with Richard recently, as well. Super glad we finally got that from here, as I feel like it wouldn't have made much sense otherwise. I liked everything else quite a bit, also. Particularly Peter's interaction with Mole Man and Richard's suit basically...becoming Venom? It makes sense, particularly considering his encounter with 616's Miles Morales over in Ultimate Spider-Man: Incursion, but it was still crazy to see. more

Okay, so, like, how does Futaba's accent work? First and foremost, I believe she's meant to be akin to Rogue in this universe, but with a Japanese character, considering the book's setting. With that setting in mind, I've been of the belief that this book is translated to us in English, meaning that the "actual" dialogue would be in Japanese. That said, Futaba is written with an American Southern accent, which...doesn't really exist within Japan (as far as I know)? So, how does this character actually sound? Or am I just overthinking a comic book right now? more

One of the better issues of this run, which is nice to say. Of course, Caselli does a fantastic job here, as he typically does. However, the story is consistently engaging and interesting here, as well. Multiple intriguing developments throughout that actually have me looking forward to the next issue. It's the most that I've felt that regarding this book in a while.

Not as good as the first issue, unfortunately, but still a solid read overall. The part I liked most about this was the narration from Hank, especially in the second half. It really holds weight considering the reveal in Issue #12 of Camp's current Ultimates series. Really looking forward to that getting followed up on at some point.

One of this book's better issues so far. Nice to see Cappuccio back on the interiors, as he did a great job throughout this. The story was more interesting this time around, as well. I liked getting a deeper look into The Opposition, though, I do hope this version of Logan proves to be more different than his 616 counterpart as the series progresses. As of now, I feel as though he's pretty similar in his current state. more

Great stuff. First and foremost, Checchetto does an awesome job, as per usual with him. That said, I did enjoy the story quite a bit. Felicia double-crossing Richard wasn't something I was particularly surprised by, but I did like it for the story. Of course that would happen to him. He's just a kid. Aside from that, I liked the stuff with the Mysterios. Although, I will agree with the criticisms of how Hickman's written Mary Jane, to an extent. I do wish she had more dimensionality with her character, as it can feel as though she's just going along with whatever Peter is doing and/or wants to do. more

Great issue showing us what Tony and the rest of the team have been up to since his return. Really like the direction they're going with the team, regarding how many people they're including and/or training now. Looking forward to seeing how that develops, as well as what we got on the final page with Tony.

Best issue in a little bit here. The story felt more structured, which is something I've been wanting from this title. It's one thing for Momoko to put out nice art, but it's another to tell and good and interesting story. I know some people can read a poorly-written book with great art, but I typically can't. Not to say this book has been badly-written, though, because it hasn't, overall. My point is just that I, personally, need a book that delivers on both the story and art fronts, and I think this issue did a better job of doing both than some other recent issues. more

Some interesting developments here, but I found that there was a lot of stuff being thrown into just one issue here. I don't dislike the book whatsoever, but I think the pacing of everything could have been handled better. The way time passes in the Ultimate Universe definitely doesn't help.

Man, Gabe's bad opinions are so strong he is getting two reviews.

Really great start to this mini-arc, of sorts. I wasn't sure what to think of Beraga's interiors upon seeing the first page or so, but I ended up liking it quite a bit as the book progressed. While I still prefer Hayden Sherman, Beraga's work is nothing to dismiss. The cost of Diana using her magic having a physical representing is a super interesting idea that I'm really looking forward to seeing more of, even if it's likely only in the next issue. more

Yes yes yes. That's what I'm talking about, man. This book is so good. The second larger arc of this book ends with another home run from Thompson and Sherman. I continue to, truly, adore Diana's characterization. Loved that she let Clea go free in order to find out whether or not she's the way she is because of being trapped in the maze, or if it's just who she really is as a person. Also, I think this is the first time Atlantis and/or Atlanteans have been mentioned in the Absolute Universe? Perhaps an Arthur Curry appearance is in the cards? more

This book continues to be so damn good. My favorite issue since the outstanding fifth one. Both Thompson and Sherman are just killing it on this series. Really loved Diana's characterization here, once again. Furthermore, Sherman has been doing some really nice panelling over the course of the series, and it doesn't stop here. Also, of course, super glad to see that Ferdinand is okay.

Generally one shouldn't give just a plain 10 for a comic based on the first story.

But this time I'll make an exception.

Something something "comics are now too political" something something "it's woke and bad!"

A great read. Really nice to see Sandoval back on the interiors, as I feel like he's such a great fit for this book. Furthermore, I really liked the developments with Kal-El here, and I'm looking forward to them, hopefully, being built upon as the series continues.

Didn't enjoy this as much as the last two issues, but it was still really good stuff overall. Giandomenico continues to do a nice job filling in for Rafa Sandoval here. Although, the writing is what took this down for me a bit. The story is good, but some of the dialogue wasn't my favorite. Furthermore, I felt as though the story jumped around just a little too much for me. In any case, this was still another really good book and I'm looking forward to what's next. more

Holy peak, Batman. Let me get this out of the way really quickly. Harren and McClaren both did really good jobs here and I liked what they gave us here. That said, Johnson knocked it out of the park with the main story. That story, on its own, gets a 10/10 for me. Warren and McClaren's stories were just gravy. Batman hitting a One Winged Angel was just insane and I loved it so much. The story as a whole, was fantastic, with us seeing a little more of Bruce's origins as Batman. The art, of course, simply rocked throughout. Johnson is, truly, masterful. more

Another really solid issue here. Thing's encounter with Bullseye was fun and I'm looking forward to Kingpin getting more directly involved with everything going on. Plus, this book did exactly what I was hoping it would do, in that we got to see more of Ben's past.

A really solid start here. Nothing too complicated, just a detective story with The Thing. I also appreciated that Ben's past was touched on a bit, and I hope that's something we continue to see as the series progresses.

A great finale for the first arc here. Camp & Rodríguez killed it once again here, and I'm really looking forward to seeing where the book goes when it returns for the next arc. Really loved that the ending was a bit of a callback, of sorts, to the ending of the first issue with the importance of having a physical copy.

Super intriguing pivot from the regular, ongoing story with Jo and the rest. A nice expansion of the lore we got in the last issue, and I think both Howard and Rossmo did a good job filling in here. I'm really interested to see how all of this comes back to what's going on on Earth.

Still enjoying this quite a bit. I completely understand why this is a lot of people's least favorite Absolute title, but I'm glad to say that I'm into it. Not only is Lindsay's art continuing to improve, but I was also happy to be learning more about the lore of what's going on with the Lanterns in this universe.

The best issue yet, which is something I'm really glad to say. A super interesting "origin" of sorts for Barry Allen, giving us a look into quite a bit of history for not just Barry, but for the entire program that sets us up in the world we're in now for this series. Moore on this book again was awesome as well.

Nick Robles is gone again, but Moore is not an artist I'll complain about whatsoever. He does some really nice work throughout this issue, as well. Also, the story is really back on track, which is nice. It feels like a lot happened here, but it wasn't too overly-stuffed, either. I'm hoping this title does nothing but continue to improve.

A nice interlude issue giving us a quick origin of how the Rogues came together. Yes, they have history that isn't delved into here, but it wasn't all that necessary, at least for now, in my opinion. That said, I liked it a good amount throughout. Furthermore, it was really nice to see Robles back on the art duties. I feel like the book wasn't the same without him.

A lot of really good developments here, primarily building to Bruce's "final(?)" confrontation with Bane in the next issue. Really looking forward to seeing how that plays out, particularly with how crazy a lot of the rest of the book has been. Snyder & Dragotta have stepped it up with this arc so far and I hope not just that the next issue ends the arc strongly, but also that they can keep up this level of quality as the series continues past that. more

Great stuff. Spoilers incoming, by the way. Bane, essentially, creating Penguin, Two-Face, and Riddler was actually insane. Really looking forward to seeing more of the three of them in the future. Shifting to the present, it's nice to, finally, see Selina show up after really only appearing in flashbacks thus far. As usual, I'm very intrigued to see what comes next from this book.
