Gophfacekillah reviewed All-New Venom #1 Dec 9, 2024
All the weird exposition from Harlan McNeill is maybe the weakest writing Ewing has ever done. He’s like the robot meme from Rick and Morty. “What is my purpose” “You tell the audience this is a new host for venom is the most blunt way possible” I’ll keep reading because I know what Al is capable of tho. Plus Gomez is a pretty solid artist on this. Not a great start tho.

Gophfacekillah reviewed The Department of Truth #27 Nov 23, 2024
Another amazing issue. Sampson art perfectly fits the story. The universe Tynion has built here is so interesting and fun. Every issue I’m surprised by the issue number. 27? Tynion along with the artists fills every issue with so much that it feels like I’ve read 50+ issues by now.
"Happy birthday, Mr. President..." Norma Jeane Mortenson wanted to be famous. What she got was so much more than that. Now she doesn't know where the real Marilyn Monroe ends and the fiction enshrined in the modern American pantheon begins. And that's very, very dangerous-especially when she's face to face with the Department of Truth's very first ...
Gophfacekillah reviewed Ultimate Spider-Man #11 Nov 23, 2024
Maybe the best issue yet. I know some people disagree with the amount of dialogue Hickman puts in every issue compared to action. But how can you be mad when the dialogue is well done and feels real. And the action we do get is classic spidey. This series has been everything I’ve been missing in Asm.

Gophfacekillah reviewed X-Men #7 Nov 6, 2024
Not a bad issue, just a lull. Magneto and cyclopes’ front porch beers were fun but this issue just felt kinda forgettable. I’m still excited for the next issue and what’s to come but this issue didn’t make me any more or less excited.

This and the last issue could’ve been one issue. Just like the last issue, pretty good action but felt superficially short.

The mano a mano fight that started last issue is so huge it took over the cover to here! Come see John Romita Jr. do what he does best with the most brutal fight in Spider-Man history - SPIDEY VS. TOMBSTONE!

Felt like an issue made only to lengthen the store for an extra issue. This was a decent read but just felt superficially short. It’s a step in the right direction though.

On the weeks this book comes out, this is the first book I choose to read without fail. This issue is not changing that pattern now. This lines up a lot of story threads to come that have me so excited! The villain organization is fun. The mystery of the town. Also is anyone else shipping croc and Jan from HR.

Snyder is king of strong starts. Pace is great and covers a lot quickly without feeling like all exposition. All the characters seem super interesting. Only issue so far is Bruce may be the least interesting character so far.
