The prevailing trend with this UXM series has been that I don't really know what's going on completely, but I'm enjoying it anyway. And of course it's beautiful to look at. The story reminds me slightly of the Mob Psycho 100 story with the Psycho Helmet Cult, the Claw organization and 7th Division.

The parallels to Dark Knight Returns are pretty strong but if you're going to crib, crib from the best. And this story lived up to the standard that DKR set. Great story, great writing, awesome scenes, good art. "Nubs" Punisher was true to character, fighting to the end. Loved it.

What a beautiful series. Just wow.

Good ol' reliable Al Ewing, understands a character better than anyone.

One of my favorite books getting published these days, another brilliant issue has Moon Knight take a breather and let his friends celebrate his birthday. Marc taking some time to spend with his daughter alone was a really nice touch and within the narrative would probably mean a lot to the little girl. The art was ok, but the writing and story was so good that I barely even noticed a difference. Loving these past few years' run of Moon Knight. more

Plot
Reed Richards challenges Doctor Doom to a live debate, where he reveals that Doom was aware of the vampire attack in Blood Hunt but did nothing because he knew he could manipulate Stephen Strange and thus become the Sorcerer Supreme.

But Doom argues that all leaders in past wars have withheld information to achieve victory. He even compares how Iron Man, the Avengers, and the X-Men have withheld their technology and wisdom to make a better world. People support Doom because of his powerful charisma.

While this debate is taking place, Black Widow, Sue Storm, and Scarlet Witch manage to enter Latveria through a rift discovered by S.H.I.E.L.D. intelligence through Maria Hill. In Latveria, they discover that the entire city is a hologram and that its inhabitants are trapped in a magical prison that absorbs their future and life force. Doctor Doom uses this energy to make his spells more powerful.

Reed Richards receives the information and video, shows it to the world, and Doom unmasks himself and accepts that the pain of many is necessary for his project. He stops the live stream, stretching Reed's face in a painful and seemingly irreversible way.

This event improves with each installment, offering shocking and mysterious twists, with the key revelation revealing part of Doom's plan.

Art
It's very detailed, creating a suspenseful atmosphere that blends magic with science fiction in perfect balance with all the heroic poses. The art is as epic as the event itself.

Summary
Mr. Fantastic's debate with Doctor Doom will have a key revelation that gives this event a chilling twist. more

Great issue.

Easily the best issue of this series, and this series has been my favorite thing involving the F4 and Doom pretty much ever. The concept of the plot is great, the writing has been great, the art is really good. This issue's debate was really well handled with Doom getting the upper hand, while the black ops team's mission was a success and finally struck a real blow to Doom's global PR campaign. Great stuff. more

Wild comic. The writing was pretty good, the twist was interesting. It's nothing ground breaking and more than a bit silly, but it works for Deadpool. I do not like this art style, just looks messy to me, but it didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the series. I'm guessing in a couple years we'll get "Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe One Last Time Again."

This series has taken a bit of a lull in my opinion, it started out incredible but kinda went off the rails. Not so far off the rails that it can't get back on track though. I'm optimistic, this is still entertaining.

Same impression I had of #1, the writing is ok, some of the humor really does work for me, but some doesn't. The art is really really ugly, it's not my preference at all. Looks like something a 10 year old drew. One other thing that bugged me, the bicycle guy got shot in the shoulder, said it's just a flesh wound, and then was back to uninjured in every following panel as if the wound just disappeared. Also, so little happened that it didn't feel like a good use of my time reading it. The whole book could have been one or two pages. Group gets jumped by a guy on a bike, a brief fight ensues where their car gets blown up, group steals bike and keeps on keeping on. That's the entire book. A post-apocalyptic setting takes a story a long way with me, but this has to start getting a lot better if I'm going to tolerate this art. more

This was a really good first issue. It did a great job of setting up the situation, explaining the world and characters and putting the plot into motion. The art was fantastic and fit the vibe perfectly. The writing was sharp and entertaining. The vampire-eaters remind me of Blade 2 heh. Definitely going on my pull list.

This was an ok tie-in book. As someone who plays the game I appreciated all the little details from Rivals, but I doubt I would have enjoyed this book very much if I was unfamiliar with the game. The writing was meh, the art was ok, and the plot was about as vanilla as it gets.

Another brilliant issue. Great writing, good art, loving the direction this book is going. So many great little details all tied together by an interesting story. Deadpool's presence was completely unnecessary but also totally entertaining. Deathdream flipping out because Deadpool hurt his doggie was epic. Loved it all.

I thoroughly enjoyed this issue. I'm not usually a fan of the magic side of Marvel. Don't care about Dr. Strange or any of that stuff. I somewhat enjoyed GODS, but more for its potential than what it actually was. I'm not a big fan of Doom either, but I appreciated the character building this issue did with him. The dialogue was fantastic, the art was solid and the story was interesting. I expected this book to be around a 7 for me, I was very pleasantly surprised. more

TBH, it was brave of North to pick up what could be considered a poisoned chalice - a project that was built up with months of hype only to fall flat and get swept under the rug. Seeing him offer a bit of cheeky meta-critique through Mia's impatience with Wyn is somewhat rewarding (Wyn does get gradually less sympathetic through the course of G.O.D.S. #1-8, and the final issue spotlighting him doesn't help that at all), and if this were setting up a revitalised G.O.D.S. series with North at the helm, I'd be intrigued. more

It's ok. Definitely feels like there's not much direction here and it's just kooky for the sake of being kooky.

Good story and writing that's held back a bit by really bad art. The story isn't entirely original but it's well done and not something that's been overdone, so I'm enjoying it.

My only complaint is that I have to wait for the rest of the story. I love these Battle Royale-style stories, even better when the participants have themes (like this issue's Nurse Pete). Some manga/anime I like in this genre are Killing Bites (animal themes) and Juni Taisen (surface level zodiac themes). There's more, but those are two of the top of my head. Anyway, loving this book so far.

The art is nice but the writing is kinda meh so far. I know Tim Seeley can do better, I love Local Man. I like the plot and setting and all, but the biggest problem is every time the commander opens his mouth it's just cringy and annoying. The stereotype is lazy, bad writing and it takes away from my enjoyment of the book. Not enough to make me hate it, or even rate it low, but it would definitely be higher with better dialogue and writing. I'll definitely give it another issue or two, but if that stuff keeps up I'll probably drop it. more

I'm thoroughly enjoying this series, even if sometimes I don't know wtf is going on. The first part was good, especially the banter about omegas. I know don't what that ending was about, but I'll looking forward to finding out. It seems they're making this Storm series and the Phoenix series kind of parallel each other, giving them both high-stakes cosmic adventures, but Phoenix is more in her natural element in space than Storm is and Storm is supposed to still be a member of the Avengers while Phoenix has been cut free of any Earthly obligations. Those quibbles notwithstanding, it's still an excellently written and drawn comic and I'm enjoying it. The supporting cast is excellent, and I always appreciate more Bishop. more

Another great issue for this series. The plot twist was extremely obvious, but it was all well executed. Feels and looks like you're reading a Don Bluth comic but for adults, and I loved Don Bluth movies as a kid.

Beautiful art and great action. It seemed to go in circles a bit, especially when repeating the title of the book a number of times in the dialogue. It was still a lot of fun and mostly introduced the characters and world well enough for a first issue. Can't wait to see where this goes.

I'm liking this a lot more than I thought I would. The writing and art are top tier. This feels like a Lobo book in all the best ways.
