THE LEGEND BEGINS! The Norse Myths tell of Gods who walked the Earth, doing great deeds for the mortals who believed in them. But Asgard isn't real, and never was. The Gods never soared in our skies, never stood with our heroes, never fought for kindness or justice. It was all just a story. Nobody's coming to help us. But somewhere in the city... a...
orbisstelassis reviewed Absolute Martian Manhunter #6 Aug 27, 2025
Honestly, I think it was very sensible of Deniz Camp to take the concept of "What if there was a DC world which was naturally weighted towards darkness and evil?" and ask the follow-up question: "What if that's closer to the world we, the readers, live in?".
The answers are compelling.

Ideas explode like atom bombs, minds melt, and colors clash in the darknessbehind the eyes of every person on the planet. It’s Green Martian versusWhite Martian, John Jones versus madness itself, as he fights to save hisfamily—and the world.
orbisstelassis reviewed Absolute Batman #11 Aug 20, 2025
Enh. The "oh so edgy" stylings along with the fact that this entire story is one part flashback and two parts hypothetical essentially turns it into pointless filler.
DC really hasn't changed: after 90 years they're still publishing stories that turn out to be "imaginary stories".

Learn the origin of Bane! What drives the muscle-bound behemoth, and how did he arrive in Gotham?
Its more to illustrate that his priority isn't nor has it ever actually been the comics themselves or the quality therein. He's just an internet incel that cherry picks content and rails against anything modern. Ask him what he actually likes, he dodges the question. Look at his reviews, it's all just bad faith tanking. Not someone to be taken seriously and when they show up, should be written off quickly.

Why did they make Bane look like "Mable/Viscera/Big Daddy V" from the WWE? Fat isn't the same as muscle. Might as well have Batman facing the Blob. I'm just going off the cover, I wouldn't drop the coin on this.

You will not be surprised to learn that in his first appearance, they did a whole "this isn't even my final form" and had the venom blow him up like a GD balloon. Sure, when Schumacher did it, it ws silly, but here it's """fine art""". Give me a break.

The story would be a lot easier to process if the design of the main characters didn't constantly flip between "giant-eyed cartoon moppets" and "adult little people in age-inappropriate children". That they're constantly swearing like sailors makes it extra confusing; I had to flip back a couple of times to make sure the comic did say they were meant to be kids.
As for the plot...it's t more

...Wow. This was absolutely stellar. Moore crafted this story perfectly, in my opinion. While the last issue was, technically, Moore's first on the title, I'm under the belief that it was purely just wrapping up everything that happened in #1-19. With that said, this was just an awesome "first issue" for Moore's run. Great suspenseful horror throughout and it just continued to get better and bette more

orbisstelassis reviewed Spider-Man Vs. The Sinister Sixteen #1 Aug 1, 2025
The writing is fine, but it's hugely let down by the vast gulf in quality between the cover and the interior art. Noto is talented at doing portraits - and even then, works well with only a particular set of facial structures - and does not do action well.
Most of this book is just characters facing front, which makes it feel not unlike paper dolls, or a weird emulation of the "Archer" more

I think they look like clones, maybe it's Tony using the Maker time engine to duplicate him in several states of time, it doesn't explain it, so I'm cautious to say that and what I just saw it's several Tonys talking with each other an finishing the other sentences
