This has been a fun arc. The Bizzaro Illuminati are a cool idea and watching these atypical Avengers interact has been fun. The one exception in my opinion is Carnage, he doesn't really seem to fit. I get that it's not the usual Carnage, but I still haven't been a fan. Otherwise, good writing, good art, fun story, I've been enjoying it.

Incredible art, incredible writing, love the setting they're building. This is going to be a fun event. Familiar, but most importantly fun.

Now THATS how you make a statement. Dang.

I read this comic twice in a row. Sure, it might have some flaws, but lately it’s been so rare that I can only give it the highest rating.

Fun issue. It has a good tone, good writing, solid art. Good stuff for a spin-off side character book.

Absolutely brilliant.

I'm mostly enjoying this series, the writing is (usually) solid, the art is not bad. Just one thing from this issue really annoyed me and it was just an example of inexcusable bad writing: when the friend shows up and has the bad guys held at gunpoint, the ranger lady goes "where is everyone else? you came by yourself? one person isn't enough!" and just goes on and on ranting about how he came alone. The whole time I was thinking "STFU lady! Let the criminals take the guy serious, you might have a chance!" but no, she basically told the bad guys to just shoot this fool because just one guy ain't enough. Dumb. more

The main story is actually really funny, it's been a while since a comic has made me laugh like this one did. I think Wells nails the characterization of everyone involved, but it is a Deadpool story so things are wacky. I assume the Morrison Batman/Deadpool will be more Batman centric, but I guess we'll see in November.

Cap & Wonder Woman should've been longer. I also think the art was too rushed, which took away from the emotional impact of the story.

Jeff & Krypto is exactly what you'd expect. Very cute, light reading.

Daredevil & Green Arrow is a bit weak, but what do you expect from Kevin Smith? There are some cool moments where the red and green aesthetic is played with nicely.

Rocket & GL is funny but short.

DKR & OML is... bad.

Logo is fun. I want more stupid Amalgam comics.

I was actually surprised by this. Everyone knows that I hated Zeb Wells Spider-Man run, and I had low hopes. But surprisingly the main story was good. I dont think people understand, but it is so surreal seeing Deadpool AND Joker standing next to each other. It just blows my mind on how monumental this is. And I have to give credit, but Zeb Wells writing here actually didn't offend me at all. It was good, and I liked the back up stories.

So overall, aside from the coloring I did like this issue. I will give out credit to Zeb Wells, he proved me wrong. He can put out good stories, so I got to acknowledge this. more

I'ma just judge this on its cover story, which is has surprisingly tight writing. A Deadpool comic is only as good as his jokes and these ones are great.

This issue is ultimately a ton of fun with some interesting combos and great art. The dialogue hits art. It has my favorite marvel and my favorite dc character share panel space, which i never pictured happening.

Its a celebration of these two comic book juggernauts.

Plot
This comic includes a main story and six short stories where several Marvel and DC heroes team up:

MAIN STORY

-“THE DEAD OF KNIGHT” by ZEB WELLS, GREG CAPULLO, TIM TOWNSEND, ALEX SINCLAIR, and CLAYTON COWLES: Deadpool is sent to Gotham City to eliminate Batman, who is busy trying to stop the Joker. A magnificent story full of references and brilliant dialogue where the two heroes are perhaps the most opposite, with excellent fight sequences.

SHORT STORIES

-“THE GUN & THE SWORD” by CHIP ZDARSKY, TERRY DODSON, RACHEL DODSON, MICHELLE MARCHESE, and JOE CARAMAGNA: It tells how, in an alternate reality, Wonder Woman and Captain America were allies in stopping terrible villains since World War II. It's a beautiful story about the friendship of two symbols of hope.

-“CATCH” by KELLY THOMPSON, GURIHIRU, and JOE CARAMAGNA: Krypto and Jeff the Land Shark play catch, but on a larger scale and at breakneck speeds. An excellent story that entertains and makes you smile without dialogue.

-“THE RED AND THE GREEN” by KEVIN SMITH, ADAM KUBERT, FRANK MARTIN, and JOE CARAMAGNA: Daredevil and Green Arrow must learn to work together to stop a deadly H.A.N.D. attack on Hell's Kitchen. A dizzying story full of action and mind-blowing artistic angles.

-“ROCKET RACCOON HAS A GREEN LANTERN RING NOW” by AL EWING, DIKE RUAN, MORENO DINISIO, and JOE CARAMAGNA: The Guardians of the Universe want to recruit a member of the Guardians of the Galaxy as a way to unify both police forces, but they don't realize that recruiting Rocket Raccoon is a mistake and a test of their patience. Hilarious story.

-“SHOWDOWN” by FRANK MILLER and JOE CARAMAGNA: The legendary Frank Miller narrates a fight between his Dark Knight Returns version of Batman and Marvel's equally old and bitter futuristic version, Logan. This is a work of art and an important milestone in comics history.

-“ENTER: LOGO!” From Ryan North, Frank Martin, and Joe Caramagna: the perfect blend of Lobo and Wolverine is ready to rock the galaxy. Welcome to Logo. more

Between ed mcguinness always beigna. Pleasure and Joe Kelly's voice for Norman, this might be my favorite issue of the run so far.

I can always get behind other people seeing how hard Peter works, but the play here with it being norman and how that effects not only his actions as Spidey but his mental state, is pretty entertaining to read and provides the necessary depth to be a backdrop for the action sequence here.

This culminated in Norman using his experience fighting Spidey to his advantage against the other web warriors which was really fun. And again, mcguiness just brings it every time. That splash page is brilliant and kinetic in the best way. I had a good time with this one

The actual plot hasn't really kicked off much, but this was a good first issue for introducing characters and the setting. I never read the original series 30 years ago (I ordered the omnibuses on Amazon after reading this issue) so the character bios at the end were appreciated. I do really appreciate the characters, being twists on typical horror characters. The art was also outstanding. Looking forward to reading the old series and then continuing this one. more

Kinda wish they'd had more time to focus on this story before the crossover — the idea of "the students get to be the adults to young Kitty" is a wonderful coming-of-age moment to round the series out if it doesn't come back after the latest Age of Apocalypse rehash, but it doesn't have nearly enough room to breathe in a single issue
