I'm so glad this is good. Bringing in lesser seen characters for their own series or mini makes DC feel like a more cohesive universe instead of a few big name books doing their own thing, restarting and running forever with the same ol' heroes and villains and then coming together for a hastily written "event" here and there. This was great.

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

Horror that is fun and engaging. Ghost machine continues to put out banger after banger.

Not lightning in a bottle (heh) but a decent comic for fans who like to read lesser used characters.

Can't put it any better than JM did.

The images of the Darkness that follows the Eye to the Door of Time is so perfect. Jeff brings the occult to life wrapped up in a tale of everyday family life. I absolutely love his wonderfully quirky art and colours as they fit so well with this sad story about having a curse that nobody sees and only the few believe......JM

EPIC!!!

Man, I thought bringing in Zdarsky was a big win for DC and the main Batman book but this continues to go from bad to worse month after month. Chip is an insanely good writer but some characters just don't click and this book is a prime example of that. The art? The less said about the art the better.

Um, ok. We learn that Jim Gordon killed the mayor while under the influence of mad hatter tech used by the Riddler. Gordon also had an affair with the mayor’s wife, presumably while under the influence of said tech.

Gordon also worked as a private eye, investigating insurance scams and affairs. Not the work I’d do if I had a commissioner’s pension. We also spend a lot of time seeing Bruce beat up just so he can place a bug on his the shoe of his “brother.” I have to believe there was an easier way.

So we see the pieces move into place for the story. It just doesn’t engage me. I don’t care about the people, there is no emotional pull. Your mileage may vary and fair enough.

I guess my biggest beef is that just a couple of issues ago, there was a whole bit about bat family values, but the story has Bruce acting alone - see planting bug. You can’t have it both ways - Bruce as a loner and Bruce as a family man. Remember for the first 30 of 31 years of Batman, there was a Robin, and Robin planting a bug would have been a great use of the character. I’m just saying.

Not a terrible issue, but it was just lifeless to me. All plot, no character.

Or I could be wrong. more

This was a pleasant surprise.

That cover is amazing! I don't see the point to this book but at least we have a cosmic marvel book on the stands and it's ok. Out of the entire crop of mid to low tier writers that have come into comics I think Phillips is the most consistent in putting out decent content and this issue is just that, decent.

The best monthly Bat title out there. Of course, how could it not be with PKJ at the helm. Simple fun plots that don't try to redefine the characters and emotional underpinnings between characters that strengthen the book.

How the hell is this book this good? Blows my mind.

Consistently good.

Another #1 money grab with no real heart or ramifications. Future dollar bin fodder.

Meh. At least they explain (in a tiny way) why they are fighting each other. The inconsistent art is annoying but overall this is just....fine? Marvel keeps pumping out tons of $5 content with little substance and this is just more of that....still the best mutant book though.

I like this issue better than the last and I still love the concept of this version of Diana but the dialogue by Thompson and the indy style art by Sherman bring it down for me. Parts of the writing are great and then the next sentence seems to devolve into a shortened structure that doesn't feel....finished? It's almost like it's her first attempt at writing in some places and then in others she remembers she's been doing this for years. The art is fine for some types of books but not for one of the big swings they're taking in this new series. The idea of WW fighting Kaiju and being from Hel is great, I just wish the book was a bit more polished. more

IDK. I didn't respond to the blossoming of Lois Lane's character the way I had hoped I would. I love Lois and really wanted her to be special in this series but if felt forced and a bit dry. The story seems ok and the art is fantastic so I'm still in it for the long haul. Aaron has proven he can write DC comics better than his last marvel ones and I'll trust him to get me to a good place with this iteration of Supes. more

This book was better than it had any right to be. I really didn't think this would be any good considering the amount of garbage fluff books that are thrown out every month but I had a good time with this. Harvey remains crazy but with a new twist that has me excited to see what's next. Good job by all involved.

All fluff and no substance. I really don't know what this title is supposed to be. The art is not quite atrocious, but really close, and the dialogue is nonsensical. The Lanzing/Kelly time in comics needs to come to an end....quickly.

This was ok. I really would like the X-men to go back to fighting someone other than humanity though. It's been kind of beaten into the ground by this point and I thought this was trying to get away from Krakoa plots. I know many folks don't love the art but it has grown on me, like reallllly grown on me. I LOVE IT! Overall this issue was one of the better ones.

Ahmed continues to force highly unlikely events to unfold to further his plot, logic be damned, and has Logan play doctor Phil in between.

Marvel continues to pump out tons of content instead of entertainment. Big difference. Not to mention most of it is at the $5 mark.

Good story and art but Tom has to bring his soapbox with him to any title he writes and it's always distracting.

Eh. How a book with so much action can be boring is a mystery to me and now this speechless thing somehow got 5000 miles away to Japan? I guess I should just be glad Cyber was actually in THIS issue. Ahmed could have put in a short of him stowing away on a flight or boat or....SOMETHING last issue and done away with a page of Wolverine holding Wendigo's hand. Things just happen because the writer needs them to happen to progress his story I guess? IDK about this book. If it doesn't pick up soon I'll be dropping it. more

I found this issue a bit less annoying than the previous ones. However, it's still all about preaching identity politics and how not to be a bigot. The only thing I really like about this book is Carnero's art. She deserves a better book.

I know nothing about Naruto but the comic was fun. Some of the dialogue was a little too basic in places and I dk if April would just let them fight to get footage but there are tons of different personalities in tons of different books and universes so maybe it's spot on here. IDK, but the story seems ok and the art is FIRE!!!! I'll prob read issue #2.

Big things are on the horizon for Erica. This was great! An issue 0 explaining events in issue #1 that lead into the new arc. Just well done comics.

I REALLLLLLY don't like Kelly Sue DeConnick but I gotta give it to her. This is good. It feels real and from the heart with an art style that fits the narrative perfectly. Good stuff.
