Best horror book out there. Love these origins for the residents of Hyde street. Just a lot of fun.

This is the book everyone needs to be reading. Action and heart in a place I can see earning the name Hell's Kitchen. Just beautiful.

Entertaining issue after issue. I'd like to see more from Ward. Veras does a great job here as well.

At this point it feels like Marvel is throwing everything at the wall just to see what sticks....and not much is. This just feels tired and generic. Ewing had one big hit and the big two starts throwing tons of work his way and he's of course taking it because each assignment pays so little. He's good, so give him less stress and more money to write one or two REALLY good books. Venom unfortunately ain't it. more

While the Absolute line garners critical and fan acclaim, I believe its focus on dark reimaginings of DC's vibrant heroes squanders significant creative talent. The Absolute Batman series succeeds because the character inherently lends itself to darker narratives.

This Absolute Green Lantern iteration is unsuccessful. The characterizations of the main characters feel significantly misaligned. I strongly dislike the blending of Green Lantern mythology with horror. I'm finished with this series.

This should have and could have been really good but for some reason it felt flat. To be honest alot of the art was underwhelming and nothing really was there to drive a fast paced space story. Hopefully this will all be ironed out in a issue or two and I'm hopeful that eventually it will be awesome.....JM

Its just ok, I guess. Nothing really pops out art wise nor it tells an exciting story. As a GL reader I imagen you're bias, but as a first reader... this is nothing special... at all...

Compared to what the other absolute series achieved in their first issue, this is the weakest start of them all. I'll stick around and I hope it will only goes up from here on.

It’s pretty good. The art isn’t really for me and the story didn’t really grab me. But I have a lot of faith in Al Ewing.

i see a lot of people saying how much this reminds them of Immortal hulk and i get it, i mean it does come close to the things we associate with Hulk, but surprisingly i feel like there is a lot of manga influence here, in the drama of it, the tension and just overall the visual language. The building up of anxiety, the fast pace, and the gradation of it, plus the suggestiveness of art and especially the colors, make those moments really really innerving and all-consuming.

It's a comic that is a lot clearer than some of the other titles of the Absolute line, a lot more tried, and it does not feel as fresh in its structure. I praised the fast pace, but at times it comes at a cost of introducing stuff more naturally, so it feels overtly simple this way, which also leads to the suggestiveness of art being too much, too, like when hal does those anime profile pic poses and those are so hard to take seriously. Like this comic is direct for better or worse, so much so that at times it is jarring, and it does not feel earned, at least to me. That being said at the same time, it feels like there is so much story here, and even if we moved fast, we did not see much of what was laid as a foundation, like the foundation was built fast, but we did not get a single answer. So many things are to be explored, and this genuinely excites me. Knowing Ewing, this could evolve in many directions.

As i said, it works really well in those more extreme situations of building up tension, where the extremeness of the situation calls for the extremeness of the art, in those other situations not soo much. more

Nerd Initiative gave this a 9.2

And I have found a publication to avoid

One of the prime examples of why modern big two books are considered by many the worst era of comics. Just lame as hell.

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
