Kreniigh reviewed Immortal Hulk: The Threshing Place #1 Oct 20, 2020
As others have said, this felt too casually murder-y. And I'm unimpressed by the art -- it's unclear in places, like the page where it seems that the Hulk has torn off the monster's head, and the transformation page in the jail cell was... ambitious, but silly.
TWO OF COMICS' MOST IMAGINATIVE TALENTS UNITE FOR A HULK TALE LIKE NONE OTHER!
There's a monster raging in America's heartland - and it's not the Hulk. When a young girl goes missing on a Kansas farm, Bruce Banner gets the itch - the one that tells him gamma is on the loose. But this town doesn't take kindly to strangers - especially the big, g...

Batman Jones reviewed Batman #100 Oct 9, 2020
I liked it. I didn't love it, apart from the art.
But this is now the last three Batman runs, back-to-back-to-back, featuring what amounts to:
City of Riddler
City of Bane
City of Joker
Have a new idea, y'all.

Plus, catch the first glimpse of the new villain known as Ghost-Maker! And after the senses...
That’s fair. I don’t actually give out 1s, but this actually is one of the worst comics I have ever read in my life which is why it got a 1. If people read my reviews they’d see I’ve given a lot of recognition for Jorges art and the colourist because they were the true stars of the story but that can only hide bad writing for so long. I’m happy though for anyone who enjoyed it, I wish I could have.

Agatha’s got legs. Venoriah readies for war. Arlen falls off a bird. A thief steals a knife. HEAD LOPPER is back!

Kreniigh rated Head Lopper #12 Oct 4, 2020

TheHyruleElf reviewed Batman: The Joker War Zone #1 Sep 29, 2020
This was a surprisingly solid anthology. No bad stories, really, save for The Symbol which, while silly, had a good message. Standouts were definitely the Stokoe Clownhunter story, The Joker/Bane story and the Lucius Fox story. So five cool stories for six bucks with amazing artwork in each.

I mean, Galactus does have a heavily-developed history and role in the universe that this totally throws out the window. There's no denying this is cool and bombastic and epic, and I like his Venom stuff, but maybe Cates needs his own alternate Marvel Universe where he can ignore continuity all he wants.
