Jesus, dude.
It was a fine one off story. I wouldn’t mind another cameo from Rapid and Screwball was done well. Plus, we actually had good art in ASM.
RAPID RESPONDERS! SPIDER-MAN shows new speedster RAPID around the friendly neighborhood! Rapid has A LOT to learn about the super-hero game! But the training wheels come off when SCREWBALL live streams death and destruction across NYC!
I have been very critical of ASM and JRJR the last few years, but this book was good, the best in a long time. Other than a few panels I have to give credit to JRJR, some of the best work I’ve see by him.
DAWN OF THE GOBLIN SLAYERS PART TWO! The sins of Norman Osborn come back to haunt him and everyone he cares about! Norman and the other Spiders THROW DOWN against Hobgoblin and his Goblin Slayer army! And one of the Spiders makes the ultimate sacrifice!
Great read. Love the Hawkman take.
Superman finds himself at the forefront of a bold new age of heroes in the Absolute Universe, but he quickly learns that he wasn’t the world’s first super-powered protector. Enter Hawkman, who has a few tips for the new kid, whether he wants to hear them or not!
I read and reread multiple times, but I couldn’t completely comprehend what was happening. Last 3-4 pages I understood, and something did happen. I was hyped for this, with how good ultimate Spider-Man was I was hoping they’d be able to ride some momentum in this event and finish his story on a high note. Here’s to hoping things pick up in the next issue.
THE END HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN! The heroes of the Ultimate Universe - including Spider-Man, America Chavez, Killmonger and Doom - desperately search for a way to stop the Maker. Plus, Iron Lad makes a stunning and heartbreaking discovery that could change the fate of the entire Ultimate Universe forever. Don't miss this pivotal chapter that will leave...
I didn’t realize this was Ziglar’s last book for this run. Overall it was just solid. It definitely had its peeks but the valleys weren’t very low. Rabble is a solid addition to Miles rogue gallery. Well done Ziglar.
THE ULTIMATE UNIVERSE COLLIDES WITH THE 616! Sometimes, it takes TWO SPIDER-MEN to do whatever a spider can. But Peter Parker and Miles Morales together might not be enough to overcome what archfoe RABBLE has in store! Don't miss this epic grand finale to the Rabble saga!
Darkseid’s plan worked! Earth has been transformed into Apokolips. His Dark Legion prepares the Earth for his imminent arrival. If Superman is locked in the tournament, who can stand up and defeat them?

Part two of our Absolute Batman/Absolute Wonder Woman story– Bruce Wayne is on a desperate hunt to help his friend Waylon, now transformed into a monstrous crocodile roaming the sewers, consumed with a deadly hunger. Batman’s last option for a cure is to turn to a god for help…but will he have to descend into the depths of hell to get it?
JRJRs art, and the artist hanging 3-4 times, really didn’t do well to help the book. I still don’t understand why JRJR is on Marvel’s flagship hook.
I actually enjoyed the writing quite a bit, might’ve gotten an 8 if it had consistent good art to match.
NIGHT OF THE GOBLIN (SLAYERS)! Norman Osborn may be purged of his sins, but that doesn't mean they can't still come back to haunt him! HOBGOBLIN wants Norman out of the SPIDER-MAN game (and this life) for good - and he's got the hyper-lethal tech of an entire goblin-slaying army at his disposal. What does Norman have…?! A Spider-Man or Woman or t...
IN THE COILS OF THE COBRA! The man called Thor is only a man...the Cobra is something else. And he's not alone. Donald Blake has sent four of Roxxon's deadliest assassins after Sigurd Jarlson, and they won't stop until he quits...or he dies. Somewhere in the city, a man with a hammer has a choice to make...
Idea - great, I wanted closure on this series. Success of execution? Debatable. The character voices were good, but the story itself didn’t sit amazingly with me. And again, we had a template for the art, years of the show, and it’s not what we got.
TIlL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH! It's the final battle between SPIDER-MAN and MORLUN - and you won't believe how it ends! Kraven, Kaine, Mary Jane - it all comes crashing down! PLUS: One of the most heartfelt endings you'll see all year!
I like the art, but I think Soy’s was better for what they were trying to do with this arc.
In the heart of the Cirque du Sin, a carnival game is played for the souls of Blüdhaven’s children. But whether Nightwing wins or loses, the outcome of this game will have repercussions for his city forever.
Something has gone wrong in the Omega Tournament, and the planet’s transformation into New Apokolips has accelerated! Darkseid’s forces arrive on Earth to witness his rebirth, so it’s up to Donna Troy and Roy Harper to hold them back! But can they survive against Grail, the daughter of Darkseid?
It’s not good, sorry. The plot is so rushed and uses bad stereotypical tropes. The art literally has a template from the cartoon and it barely uses it, granted this is better than other issues.
I love the old cartoon, this nostalgia bait and doesn’t live up to the series. The only reason I got this one is because it was supposed to be a 4 issue miniseries and I thought this was the more
KRAVEN UNLEASHED! What hidden connection does Kraven have to MORLUN? Will Peter be able to recover in time to save his loved ones? PLUS, you'll have to see it to believe it: the most twisted totemic beasts the world has ever seen!
Did you ever wonder: "Was Sauron's mum sad? She had such hopes for him." Here, we venture into a world where a broken mother guards the ruins of her son's downfall. Can anyone survive?
This was just plan fun. The tag team gimmick was interesting and well done. Assuming there’s a catch for the next round considering the last page reveal, excited to see what happens.
IT'S TAG-TEAM TIME! As the Omega Tournament reaches its endgame, the final eight combatants are put to the ultimate test–confronted with a decades-long stay in their own personal hell! Emotions run high as heroes falter, villains revel, and the Heart of Apokolips eyes its new King Omega. In the end, only the final four will remain…

Superman has found the mysterious hero known as Booster Gold. Together, they must return to the present day to warn the Justice League, but Darkseid’s Legion stands in the way. The shocking events of thisissue lead into next month’s massive next chapter in the all in saga!
Fun read. Loved the art, they did an amazing job with Black Cat’s expressions
DANCE WITH THE DEVIL! FELICIA HARDY is down but not out of the super-hero game! But when the vilest lowlifes from the city's (super-)criminal underworld are out for blood - she'll need all the luck and (Dare)devilish charm she can muster!

IT'S THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT! Spider-Man's new villain, Evangeline, is in over her head, and the whole of reality is going to pay for it! Meanwhile, Norman Osborn has set his sights on Peter's friends - when it rains, it pours!
This book was really good. I liked the art and I loved the story of the Joker. I thought it did a better job than AB #15.
The origins of the enigmatic Ark M are explored! What terrible secrets lie within its walls, and just who is assigned to protect it from discovery?!
The only thing bad about this book is it was a special and not in the main series, probably a money grab.
Truly a dark, disturbing tale, possibly the darkest of the absolute Batman run.
The origins of the enigmatic Ark M are explored! What terrible secrets lie within its walls, and just who is assigned to protect it from discovery?!
SPIDEY VS. HELLGATE, ROUND TWO! The spacefaring SPIDER-MAN heads back to Earth - only to find HELLGATE standing in his way! Spider-Man's finally strong enough to beat the most powerful foe he's ever faced…right?!
Looked at your profile and you're just review bombing a lot of stuff. Does it make you feel good, buddy?
This one was actually an all around solid book
SPIDEY VS. HELLGATE, ROUND TWO! The spacefaring SPIDER-MAN heads back to Earth - only to find HELLGATE standing in his way! Spider-Man's finally strong enough to beat the most powerful foe he's ever faced…right?!
In the shocking aftermath of the Battle of Kansas, Superman wrestles with profound changes to his life, his allies, and even his costume. But more importantly, there’s work to be done, as we experience a day in the life of the world’s busiest superhero–and welcome guest artist Juan Ferreyra (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles) to the series!
I want to be good again, I really do and this showed the potential that it could’ve but there was a bit of a fumble.
First the art. I don’t like JRJR’s work, but he did a great job on this one. I give credit where it’s due.
The main plot with Norman was great, if that was the whole book it would’ve been an 8 or higher. However, they tried to squeeze too much in. I more
ONCE A GOBLIN… Norman Osborn may not be the real Spider-Man, but he's the Spider-Man NYC's got. Despite Norman doing his very best to do good, everyone, including Peter Parker's allies, is trying to take him down. And someone or something(s) is hunting GOBLINS…and they're finally ready to spring their terrifying trap!
The landing was indeed stuck.
It has all been leading to this. The final battle against Ra’s Al Ghul, for the fate of Smallville and the soul of Superman!
Introduction for the two characters was very well done.
The first meeting of two Absolute heroes has arrived at last! The Mark of Hecate at a crime scene in Gotham draws Wonder Woman into Batman’s orbit in dramatic fashion. The world’s greatest detective and the world’s most famous witch must work together to solve a series of grisly and ambitious murders that threaten something much more dangerou...
