Awesome man, I just think it's what a comic should be nowadays, fun and action packed, great art, the lettering was great. Just a fun out of continuity batman adventure.

Completely unconnected to the ongoing Beast World storyline, and that is just fine. Just a fun and wholesome comic book. Nightwing is always a great antidote to the dark, depressing and brooding Batman. Both have their place. Nightwing is there for his little brother and the type of person you'd follow into anything.
It's not a story for the ages. It does deliver it's message a little too har

Nightwing #110
Nightwing, Batgirl and the Titans are doing all they can to save a world overrun by Beasts. Heroes have become threats, and one of the biggests threats now stalks the streets of Bludhaven. Where once there was a Robin, now there is a cat. Can Jon Kent and Nightwing save the city from Damian Wayne? Or will the Super Sons be torn apart forever?
If this was my last ever version of John Constantine then I would be a very happy old man. Without spoilers all I can really say is great writing and wonderful art all wrapped up in a story that makes me smile from ear to ear. Give yourself a winter treat and delve into Occult the way it should be.
John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dead in America #1
At last, as you demanded: The celebrated creative team of Si Spurrier and Aaron Campbell have returned to Hellblazer! John Constantine has cheated death once again-but his heart's not beating, his body is decaying, and he, his friend Nat, and his son Noah are on the run in America, wanted for murder. Naturally, it's all John's fault-it always is. B...
A perfect return to John Constantine with just enough of that regretful desire to do something good without actually being able to fully be a 'good guy'.
Constantine is in serious trouble and he has dragged a couple of generally unknowing accomplices with him.
A couple of great guest appearances with callbacks to previous stories if you've read Constantine before. But if you haven't, r

Grampá does a good job of pushing the alternative elements of this Batman story. Not only is this a visually distinctive comic, but the new Batman characters are staking up nicely.
Both Bruce Wayne and Commissioner Gordon are alternative versions. Similar enough, with a couple of interesting differences. This Bruce is a bit unpleasant and Gordon is more assertive. Gordon also has a great li

Batman: Gargoyle of Gotham #2
A devil cub falls to earth and breaks its wing... In the unmissable second installment of acclaimed storyteller Rafael Grampa's masterpiece, the skies over Gotham grow darker still. To decide to kill your past is one thing, but actually doing it proves to be more fraught a road than Batman ever expected...especially when that very same past grows m...
The first off-world issue appeared a little more tentative as Aaron established Batman in space. Issue two appears more stable and provides a pace filled narrative with a distinctive sense of Batman as a character.
The comic has a good deal of action and moves with a sense of purpose. Batman's planning and preparation is clear as well as his commitment to saving lives. An interesting situati

Batman: Off-World #2
Superstar creators Jason Aaron and Doug Mahnke's brutal interstellar adventure continues as a young Bruce Wayne has journeyed to space to continue his development as Batman! But when he winds up a prisoner of the War Storm, a massive starship filled with trained killers, can the Dark Knight find new allies to aid in his journey?!
The series has been good to this point, but this issue has been the best so far. Fingers crossed for the final issue.
Great Wolverine back story with well-integrated use of Weapon X. The Predator's motivations and actions are completely within everything we know about the character. The two characters come together seamlessly.
The end continues the time jumping narrative and the Predat

Predator vs. Wolverine #3
TIME TO BLEED!
The most gruesome chapter yet! Years after his first encounter with the Yautja, Wolverine's gone feral - just the way the Weapon X program likes him! If the Predator thought the mutant was hard to kill before...now he'll meet the real beast. But the prize this time isn't just the kill. Now Wolverine carries something precious wi...
Action driven and character focused. Great first issue. Not too much backstory or explanation. The action does most of the explaining. There is some required knowledge of Marvel characters, but nothing too demanding or important.
The Thunderbolts line up feels a little thin, but the format of a gradually increasing line up promises surprise arrivals for future issues.
The group has pur

A REVOLUTION IS COMING! Bucky Barnes, the Revolution, just inherited a mountain of covert intel, and he has one objective: justice. Like lightning.

Teaming with the mysterious Contessa Valentina Allegra De Fontaine, Buc...
Once upon a time X-Men was written by a legend who worked under a regime who asserted that homosexuality did not exist in the Marvel universe but who were, as bigots often are, too dense to see queercoding happening right under their noses (like constantly). Later, the gap left by unfulfilled ambitions was by a writer who is also legendary, but in a bad way. And now that history has come to a poin more

Mother and son reunite in a mold-shattering tale that exposes secrets held for decades and redefines both ...
You know what ? I like B-movies. This issue was not great, was not very smart, but it was like a very good, brainless b-movie of the 80 with Batman. And i'm up for that.

A routine night in Gotham City for a young Batman proves to be anything but routine when the crime-fighter is confronted with a sort of foe he's never faced before--one from beyond the stars! A universe of possible alien threats leads Batman to make a daring decision--to venture alone into the far reaches of the cosmos for the very first time, wher...
The Penguin #2
Oswald Cobblepot is preparing to take back the Gotham underworld at the behest of the U.S. government, but to wage this war, he's going to need some ruthless soldiers. For starters...the Help, the merciless assassin Penguin first encountered in the epic Batman: Killing Time. But can the Penguin free the Help from a prison of his own making? Whoever...

The Holy Roller #1
SERIES PREMIERE
Everyone was sitting around wondering when comedy legend ANDY SAMBERG (SNL, Palm Springs) would join super-star writer RICK REMENDER (DEADLY CLASS, LOW) and Fall Out Boy's multi-talented JOE TROHMAN to write a comic about a vigilante hero who smashes people's faces with a bowling ball-and everyone's dreams have come true! With a...
One part comedy, one part family drama, one part social commentary, one part vigilante story. Holy Roller has a lot going on and it works.
Celebrity writers Andy Samberg's writing credit alongside Rick Remender and Joe Trohman feels like too many writers for one comic. But it works.
The comics has character conflict, room for character development and the art is good.
Unlike a few

The concept of Batman in space runs the risk of crashing into the ridiculous. Setting the series in the early years of Batman mitigates any continuity complaints and allows the story to exist beyond the scope of other Batman stories which feels like a smart move.
As first issue there is a good deal of backstory, but a number of flashbacks are used to prioritize the action before giving the ex

The last couple of issues have been less impressive (too many characters, not clear enough significant events). The final issue makes up for any previous shortfalls. This is a concise ending to the mini-series with great interactions between Cable and Bishop. The character don't like one another, but in previous issues they didn't seem to always function in the story as a duo. Here they give a gre more
Children of the Vault #4
CHILDREN OF THE END!
The beings raised in the artificial world of the Vault have known since their first breaths that they stood to inherit the Earth. They just didn't think mutantkind would make it so easy for them. With only Cable and Bishop to stand in their way, the end of human- and mutantkind both is at hand.
Rated T+
An enjoyable and self-contained Wolverine and Captain America team-up. Full of great callbacks to previous comics, Wolverine and Cap's past, the whole Krakoa storyline and previous Wolverine storylines.
A couple of really awesome pages. The whole pages and set-pieces are really great. A really great page as Wolverine is fighting his way down and Cap is moving across. Unfortunately a when th

You know those old friends, the ones that go way, way back who you can always rely on? That's STEVE ROGERS to LOGAN, whose friendship goes back to WORLD WAR II! It only stands to reason that as WOLVERINE faces the fallout from FALL OF X, that CAPTAIN AMERICA has his six! But as ORCHIS rises and LEGACY ...
Will the real Stephen Strange please stand up?
Overall, this was a pretty solid issue. For all that it made use of 9 splash pages, the storytelling was strong (I mention this because splash pages are generally what lazy writers use to make you think you got value for your money). Pasqual Ferry's art has never looked better. His lines are clean, characters look good, he's great at using

Doctor Strange #8
With the enemy revealed, Doctor Strange and his allies rush to confront his evil doppelganger, General Strange! But does the Doctor stand a chance again the General's five thousand years of experience? And will Stephen and Clea's marriage hold in the face of such a threat?
Rated T+
Totally agree. A solid issue. The different doctors have been enjoyable.
