George reviewed Nightwing #120 Dec 15, 2024
Very generic so far and kind of boring. Not sure where the Dan Watters that wrote Lucifer, 6 fingers and the detective comics back ups. Will keep reading for a few more issues.

BLUDHAVEN ON THE BRINK! With deadly experimental weapons in the hands of the city's oh-so-corrupt police force, Nightwing must prevent a bloody war breaking out with the gangs of Bludhaven--which would be easier if someone didn't keep trying to blow him up!

George reviewed Green Lantern #18 Dec 14, 2024
Didn’t like the story arc. Overall the issue felt very rushed, and a much ado about nothing. Poor character development as well.

I wish this had been the first issue. After a bold, radical first act, this title definitely deserves a second chance. Flash has always been my favorite, but too often he's written in a way that feels predictable. I'm excited to see someone finally take an ambitious approach. The first act wasn’t perfect, but it experimented—now I can see Spurrier hitting a stride more

Wally, Linda, and the kids come together in the wake of the losses suffered to heal as a family and figure out their new abilities. While this family trip has a unique destination--Skartaris, in the center of the Earth--Wally's begun an evolution into a new form, and he's not ready to share that with the rest of the family!

maybe its because I'm comparing to last few story arcs where it was incomprehensible mess. But this was a MASSIVE step up from the previous story because the language is easier to understand and no longer any cosmic meta physical babble. I think if people want to read the flash, this is the issue and just disregard the previous issues.

REYNARD reviewed Absolute Power #4 Oct 2, 2024
Mark Waid has forgotten that comics should be poetry. He is now debasing his craft to write brain-dead smash-em ups that cannibalize the Silver Age in the most uninteresting ways. This is truly the darkest era in DC Comics history.

There are some new things to look forward to and some solid DC writer, but yes currently you have to stay away from big books and big stories. Looking forward to the new writer on nightwing, and the launches of metamorpho and new gods.
JBL Reviews reviewed X-Men: Red #14 Aug 16, 2023
I just don’t understand the appeal of this book. I gave it one more shot to see where it went after the Gala, but it’s just not for me. So many people that it seems I’m supposed to care about but we barely know them or even their name.
/14_small.webp)
AFTER THE FALL! As the Brotherhood reels from the cataclysmic events of the Hellfire Gala, Genesis takes advantage of the chaos - and declares war! Two vast mutant armies clash, and Arakko's idols fall... but this is only the beginning of a conflict that will remake the Red Planet. And whatever happened to Isca the Unbeaten?
Rated T+
I don’t either and I’m a big fan of Ewing. There are selective good issues. But broadly speaking these characters aren’t developed.
