The best non Absolute Batman comic by miles.

Writing in this one is top notch. Very well paced issue, probably best so far in that regard.
Art is pretty good, bringing down rating a little.

This was really odd. It is more like an Amazing Spider-Man team-up than Giant-Size ASM. I thought the cover was supposed to be related to cover itself, but it is more related to whole package.

Art in all three stories was great. But that is almost all good I have to say about it.

Smith's story is so average and boring that it's hard to give it any credit.

Ewing was just more focused on G.O.D.S. and 616 than Spidey.

And Rapid prelude was just that, not a Spidey story.

So overall, meh package. more

It's still one of the stupidest ideas ever.
Even Kamala's fans are upset.

A fun and competent but sadly forgettable book.

Not for me

Rock solid old school Batman.

With credit given to absolute Batman and all other Batman titles, this is what I want from a Batman book. I would buy this forever.

One of the best issues of the run. If not the best.

Good issue.

It felt a little short. Like it just ended. Which means it will read better in trade. So difficult to recommend picking up a $6 book that felt this incomplete. But I like the creators and trust them to deliver.

Loved this.

Fun

Fantastic.

The only weak Absolute series. I suppose it was unrealistic to expect such continued quality.

I'm very new to Green Lantern.

I'm currently reading Geoff John's GL run, which is absolutely magical. I'm also watching the Bruce Timm CGI animated series, which is like a mix between Star Trek and Star Wars Clone Wars.

None of the spirit of any of that is in this comic.

Who is the lead woman and how is she so powerful? Can someone with a GL background explain? more

Love this run.

This was a poor issue.

The one highlight for me was seeing the different version of the FF and how the radiation could affect them. That was nice. I will give credit where credit can be given.

All the rest is... really badly written though. I do not know why North is writing Ben this way. He is really damaging his character. He is saying Ben would sacrifice everything to get his powers back, to get the teams powers back when the world is not in immediate danger? I could understand the risk if the entire universe was on the line but it is literally cause they dont like doom they were willing to ruin the universe for everyone else.

... This make him the bad guy. It is uncomfortable reading a writer butcher Ben like this.

Also the comic rays stuff is just wrong in lore. It has occurred before as other raters have pointed out. North is just ignoring character and history for his own purpose which is... I dont even know.

TL DR: North appears ignorant of both Ben's character and of FF history regarding the rays. Please do basic homework if you are the FF writer. more

Johnny sorrow has been trying to call the Elder Gods for a long time. I thought it was just 25 of our years (Johns Goyer run). But since world war 2? Why can’t he get the job done?
I guess his last name is Sorrow because he can’t stop failing the Elder Gods. Why is Cthulhu putting up with this failure?

What a loser.

Kidding, Sorrow is awesome and totally under used in DC continuity. more

I liked it. It was fun. I guess Ben not caring about the penance stare stare was out of character. Doesn’t matter to me that much. I was entertained and love the art.

Not as good as prior 2 issues.

This issue was pretty good. Probably my least favorite so far. Art is still amazing. Script seemed a little messy.

For me, perfect

This will hopefully get a hard cover when all done and kept in print as a perennial book. It’s that good.

Let me start by saying what immolated means:

"Kill or offer as a sacrifice, especially by burning"
"The term "immolated" is the past simple and past participle of "immolate," which means to kill oneself or someone else, or to destroy something, usually by burning."
This series is about a lot of things both in the literal parts of the story and the abstract concepts displayed writing and the art. Deniz Camp along with Javier Rodriguez are creating a noir crime thriller tale. While exploring the psychology of victims and perpetrators of violent offenses through visual metaphors. These are the colored smoke shapes that carry the thoughts, the feelings and emotions of the people of this unfortunate world. As if this wasn't already rich and complicated, Camp & Rodriguez throw another wrinkle by including the White Martian as a terrorist.

Do not get it twisted, the actions taken by this unknown but incredibly powerful alien are the definition of terrorism. Using calculated violence to create a general climate of fear in a population with a particular objective. What's the objective you may ask? The destruction of the concept-stellation of home as stated by the Martian. The White Martian is actively attacking what humans see as Home, Safety, Shelter. In other words, we can say the White Martian wants humans to lose all sense of security and aby other feelings we attached to our homes both as an idea but also in the literal sense. The emancipation of the immolated refers to all the burning victims being sacrificed by the White Martian for this undetectable crusade his declared on the people from this world.

We see people's different homes being burned down. The hotel shelter, houses, kid's playgrounds and even the open space under a bridge where Big Al slept. If you've found, had or created a third space you can grasp the idea of home as a welcoming place that isn't necessary a house or a shelter. For example, at a different point of my life my home would've been a basketball court or a boxing gym. There where I felt free, welcomed or safe. That was home. That's exactly what the Martian is destroying for the people of Middleton.

Camp & Rodriguez are undertaking on developing a yarn that will have its strings pulled for generations in search for meaning and interpretation. more

Stunning and heartfelt work from Deniz Camp as always, and brilliantly realised by Javier Rodriguez. This truly is one of THE books of the year.

My only hang up with my favorite titles right now are, they’re limited runs..
magnificent.
