This whole series was disappointing. I had some fun but not as much as I should have. Hickman is one of the best but maybe he just can't do fun, mindless smash em' up books. Art was amazing though.

April Fools book or not, there is no reason to give Joanne Starer another job. Wait, was that the joke DC? Ah, I get it now. Still not funny. Very few books deserve a 1 rating but if this garbage doesn't then I don't know what does.

Beautiful, comic nirvana.

I was coming in not knowing what to expect but after the first couple of pages I fell in love with this humble one-shot. Seeing JMS as the writer definitely got my attention. Nonetheless the art was great and the dialogue was perfect, bringing depth to Volstagg like this is extremely creative. Going to check out the previous issue of Doom and Rocket now because I liked this so much and will read next ish, I mean Nick Fury and Fin Fang Foom?!! Now this is comic book heaven for me!!! more

I applaud Eve Ewing for not shying away from addressing Kitty‘s recent past, however, it’s just not possible to justify the murders she has committed during the Fall of X storyline. Kitty, one of my favorite X-Men ever, is a ruined character, and it isn’t Ewing’s fault. However, the issue of Kitty’s mass murder is brushed aside pretty easily, and this is a problem.

The art is great as usual,and the writing feels natural, but I feel this series is written for a younger generation with different sensibilities. Gen X guys like me just don’t give a shit about those teenager’s issues. So the question is, who is reading this title? The younger people that the series caters to or people like me, who just want a great superhero book, but are getting a lot of slice of life and social justice crap instead? more

Why the hell is this site still including reviews by Gabe Hernandez?

The guy literally gives EVERY single comic a low score. He single handidly is bringing down the averages of several great series on this site. His reviews read like rage bait in order to drive up hits on his page.

The guy is a hack, and this site loses credibility by including his reviews.

PS This issue is a 10. more

A decent issue.
For those who can't understand the interpretation of 'hero' in the Ultimate Universe...Did you read the first ever series by the great Mark Millar?

This series continues to impress. I look forward to this as much as I did Invincible.

A real chore to get through. Jay Nakamura may be my version of Paul from amazing spidey for the DCU. Dollar bin fodder for sure.

I was a big fan of the Secret Six, but for me, this will be the first and last issue. Extremely mediocre, with uninteresting characters and a team that, unlike the original Secret Six, doesn’t feel like it works. At some point, they need to stop giving comics to mediocre writers who wouldn’t be able to sell a thousand copies even if their life depended on it.

The strongest part of this issue is Jon’s concern for Jay. Like Jay or not, like Jay and Jon as a couple or not, the concern Jon feels for Jay is something that is relatable to everyone. Despite having no affection for Absolute Power or Amanda Waller as a major villain, the mystery is of her escape is pretty strong. There are aspects of this issue that feel very niche and that will play differently to different people, but in and of itself it’s not a bad thing. One of the things that does stand out is that Nia, Jay and Black Alice (and the barely seen Catman and Deadshot) all seem to be played with a sense of the anti-hero…or “broken” hero (yes, some of them are 100% anti-heroes/ villains). Jon’s place with them is fairly awkward. He demonstrates his concern for Jay and his trust in Nia, but the whole positioning of the group (except Jon?) just feels weird.

This book is a godsend. Never a bad issue.

The real Spider-Man title to read. This book never loses it's luster. Just impressive month after month.

I admit I don't know the ultimate universe characters but did they always act this way or is it just the fact they don't have their original history thanks the The Maker or is this just a Deniz Camp thing? If this is what passes for heroes in the ultimate universe then The Maker has already won. Cap delighting in killing??? I think this is just Camp's inner wanna-be antifa persona coming out in his writing. It kind of shows in past issues but is full blown here. Seems like the bad guys aren't the only ones with a Punisher fetish here. The good guys seems to ironically lean that way as well. This was not for me. more

How much longer does Marvel think they can keep shoving this tired version of Peter down our throats? As long as we keep buying this book I guess. This was a train wreck of an issue. It's meaningless and vague to the point of exasperation. The whole deus ex machina moment almost had me stop reading right then and there. Fun and interesting art with terrible dialogue and an asinine plot equal a big miss/mess for what is supposed to be one of Marvel's flagship titles. I'm giving it an extra point for the one joke I liked. The inevitability of bed time line was cute. more

Poorly written dialogue with no real sense of how people actually talk. I can see Gail Simone surrounded by cat posters and drinking box wine while writing this. Marvel needs help NOW!

The art is a bit wonky but the coloring is dynamic and helps carry the book well. The writing is decent and there's plenty of action but every time I see Natasha I get sad. PUT JOHN HENRY BACK IN THE ARMOR!!!!

I’m reading NYX mostly to spot the woke indoctrination, since that’s the only consistent aspect of this mess of a comic. This time the ideological nonsense is in the background, as two battles take the center stage, both of them not making much sense.

Having Prodigy and Sync fight over the leadership of the group (what group?) seemed completely forced and made me realize that both men are pretty much the same throwaway character. Ms. Marvel (who shouldn’t even be in a mutant book) vs. her cousin makes even less sense. He doesn’t realize it’s her because she’s wearing a €%&£ mask? Come on… it’s 2025! In the end, both fights are resolved too quickly, and in Prodigy and Sync’s case, just as unnaturally as it started.

I’m writing too much about this crappy book. It’s crap. Don’t buy it. more

Huh.

I'm not going to lie, I actually really enjoyed this. At first I went in not expecting much but I actually like the characters in this. I didn't read the Steve Fox Spider-woman run yet I'm still finishing the previous Pachinko run first so I don't know the whole backstory for these characters but Steve does a good job giving you some insight on what you might have missed.

This is a new kind of era where a comic cover sucks but the actual material inside is good. Like that cover is so bad but luckily some reviews even reviews that did not like this issue peaked my interest to check it out.

I like the personalities for me they are not too much, or overbearing/annoying for how young the characters are suppose to be.

I'm adding this to my pull list.

They say that hate is learned. Congratulations Eve Ewing, thanks to you I've learned to hate every one of these characters. This title is called Exceptional X-Men. Why? There is nothing exceptional about any of these characters and they sure as hell ain't X-Men. They've done nothing for five freaking issues! I can't even hate read this dreck anymore. I'm out.

I liked issue #1 but DeConnick does what DeConnick does and well....this is what we get. Issue 2 was worse but I had hoped after that issue it would get back on track. It didn't.

Always a pleasure to read this man's stuff.

This is fine but will really be for fans of these characters more so than the casual comic reader.

Really did Steve dirty in this, forget about how much he's been through. According to the writers Steve is privileged. Anyone who starts off a comic with vampires attacking a soup kitchen should immediately be unemployed, and to top that promoting segregating superheroes because "white people bad bruh".

Go to hell.

Just read Dust to Dust issue one from Image Comics and I enjoyed the heck out of it. It felt very cinematic in presentation and storytelling. This first issue is mostly setup slowly introducing you to the characters - primarily the Sherif, everything revolves around him as he try’s to keep a hand on the small dust bowl town of Cimarron County, Oklahoma. The story is set in 1935 at the height of the Great Depression and it weighs heavy over the motivations of almost every character. The seeds of a mystery are planted in this issue in the form of some bones found on an abandoned farm - beyond that tiny subplot the book is mostly a character study. It’s well written and paired with illustrations that convey an atmospheric feeling. You really must read this book for yourself to understand what I mean. It has an almost visceral vibe to it … I highly recommend reading this one as a physical book. There were a few inconsistencies with the art … but they were very minor. This book is the whole package and I HIGHLY recommend it. more

Beautifully illustrated and quite an engaging story. I hope we get some fantasy or horror elements in this series as I'm not a huge fan of much else but if we don't I'll keep reading. That's how good this is.

I won’t even try to pretend I know what’s going on in this issue. As a newcomer to the New Gods, I have no clue who all these characters, creatures and planets are, and we don’t get a lot of explanation. Without the more down-to-earth scenes, I’d be completely lost. However, the book is drawn so well that I don’t even mind that the story feels like some cryptic mythological text. I actually like how mysterious all of this is.

Having said that, I didn’t really enjoy the guest art on the first couple of pages. Lonergan’s rough and sketchy style doesn’t complement Evan Cagle’s intricate and elegant art at all. Maybe it was meant to be a jarring combination, but I would have preferred Cagle to draw the whole book. more

I enjoyed it. Ram V's words never really hook me, but due to this being New Gods where these characters are literally on a higher plane of existence, it made sense. I think I have to re-read this to get the full picture, but the art and story still has me excited to do this. Which is really rare

This title works as a continuation of Kirby’s fourth world The New Gods Art is breath taking and Jesse lonergans art serves as a jarring reminder of the impending threat to the New Gods. Things slow down a bit with this issue but the imagery is still immaculate and Ram V captures the voices of all the moving cast beautifully.

While I'm not a fan of the opposing art styles I'm still giving this a 10 because it's just a damn good comic.

As excited as I was to get a story to fill in the blanks here, I think my expectations weren't as sky-high for this series before its release; but after reading the first issue I'm absolutely hooked. Tim Seeley's Rogue is so genuine and such a refreshing read on her character right now, and Lavina & Rosenberg's art and colors are FANTASTIC--Rogue isn't just drawn for cheesecake (though when she is, it's still great!) and her expressions really shine through and draw you to her emotions rather than state of dress. I can't overstate how much I love her characterization in this issue, this Rogue is vulnerable and spunky and raw, and I'm looking forward to how this run fills in the blanks of this story, and the foundation of her relationship with Magneto.
So far, I can't recommend this series enough to people, and I have a feeling the rest of the issues will live up to the hype I'm getting from this one. more
