I don’t get the appeal of this title. But that’s ok. Not every book is for everybody!

A fun start.
End of Life #1
Professional hitman Eddie Stallion has messed up. He’s accidentally robbed the Raven, a high-ranking boss of the international cabal of assassins the Menagerie, of which Eddie is a member…or he was. Now with a price on his head, Eddie chooses to hide in the one place everyone knows he’d never go…the small midwestern town of Pluto, home of his estra...
This is good stuff!

Wow. Spectacular. There is no better book on the stands.
Absolute Batman #17
Dr. Pamela Isley has been unleashed from the Ark-M facility with an unending hate and burning fire for revenge on Gotham City, and those who put her in the belly of the beast. When Batman hunts her down, he must survive a labyrinth of leveled horrors, one more gruesome after the next, as he tries to save the city from a monster it created.
The comicon review is the right review.
Great art can’t save this ok script.
I get what it’s going for. Just don’t think it’s executed that well, especially as a single issue.
A step down from the prior issue.
Star Trek: The Last Starship #5
The Federation’s delegates have gathered. The Babel conference is on. Together, they aim to save Starfleet and bring peace to all quadrants. But while Captain Sato and the crew of the U.S.S. Omega have only experienced the passage of time as four months within their transwarp bubble, for the rest of the galaxy, it’s been 23 years. For 23 years, the...
Great comic. Only reason it’s not a 10 is the some panels aren’t as well drawn as others. But story is 10.

I don’t quite get the appeal.
But it’s not bad.

I enjoyed it. Not sure I’m hooked yet but I’m in for the next issue.
Bleeding Hearts #1
The zombies won-and ten years after the fall of humanity, they're the dominant form of life (or not-life) on Earth. They've developed their own cultural practices, their own language, their own society. Mouse-Pokes-Golf-Ball-Through-Hole-In-Head ("Poke" for short) is a beloved member of his community, and with his brother-in-arm Mush, he's happy t...
Another great comic from kindt and Lapham

My favorite book continues to crush it
Absolute Superman #16
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!
If you told me Jason Aaron would make Absolute Superman my favorite absolute series coming out of the Absolute line-up, over Scott Snyder, I would have called you insane. But his writing, dialogue, and the art from Juan Ferrerya makes this series an absolute win.

I dropped the prequel series to this because it wasn't working for me. Picked this up based on reviews. Good stuff

As the monsters' war on humanity rages across land and sea, Bruce Banner and Betty Ross have finally found their life of quiet normalcy, free from their past and the threat of the Infernal Hulk...or so they think.

Holy moly. I'm stoked to see what's to come from this series.

Such a great series.
Good As Dead #5
The truth behind the Port Lindon disaster is revealed, but not everyone will survive to hear it.
Great comic.
Star Trek: The Last Starship #4
First Officer Wowie Carter was once called the child without fear. But with the Federation in freefall and Earth still reeling from a brutal Klingon assault, fear is all that remains-and Wowie is cracking under its weight. The U.S.S. Omega's mission is clear: Gather the final delegates for the Babel Conference, the Federation's last, fragile chance...
Truthfully, I'm not following Absolute Batman. The only reason I bought this issue is because Wonder Woman is in it. I like that she's taller than Batman in this universe. Batman going to Hades to find a remedy for Walon Jones doesn't really lend itself to the character's strength. It should have remained a street-level story with, perhaps, bringing Zatanna in as a Wonder Woman villain. I thought more
Absolute Batman #16
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?
I still don't get the high reviews for this series.
