Best of marvel of 2025..
Definitely top 5 favorite books I’ve read this year.
It’s such a blast to read this, and the art is really top tier.
SPIDER-MAN AND WOLVERINE ARE DEAD?! PETER and LOGAN have met their demise. Blame…REED RICHARDS?! And…An ALL-NEW VILLAIN?! R.I.P. THWIKT.
Feels very disjointed from Jason Aaron’s run, which may be a good thing, only time will tell..
Arts fun to look at and the writings solid.
A new era of TMNT begins! Acclaimed Eisner-winning writer Gene Luen Yang (American Born Chinese, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Superman Smashes the Klan) takes on writing duties for TMNT! Following the stunning events of TMNT #12, the Turtles face a different New York…one where they are viewed as heroes! The celebration will be short-lived as new t...
The conclusion to a 12 issue arc that feels anticlimactic but on par for the course. The series itself may require another reading, it just kind of felt lacking..
is it worth picking up the next four issues?
WOLVERINE'S ATTACK ON THE EURASIAN CAPITAL! After the devastation in ULTIMATE WOLVERINE #11, Wolverine is out for vengeance! And he's taking on the whole of the Eurasian Republic in this big, bad and bloody climactic issue…who will be left standing?
Jock may arguably be the better artist, however this series in general loses points whenever Dragotta isn’t doing the art..
Asides from that, a fun little ‘non reliable’ narrative here.
Alfred reveals to Bruce the story of the man he’s been chasing for years. Enter: Joker! Scott Snyder and Jock reunite for an epic tale in the Absolute Universe!
I had to settle for buying the Knull variant of this book.. what’s with the influx of variants these days?
The book itself was awesome.
RULE ALL MONSTERS! The INFERNAL HULK's conquest of Earth has begun! Hulk turns his eye to ATLANTIS, where an ancient evil has slept for eons awaiting the call of the Mother of Horrors… but will NGATHIIL THE ENDLESS be content to serve Hulk, rather than rule Earth in his mother's place? Meanwhile, Earth's Mightiest Heroes frantically scour the Ear...
A modern classic.
Best of 2025.
The fate of Gotham hangs in the balance as Batman and Robin battle through a horde of clay monsters that have overtaken the city!
Small step up from the first crossover.
Note to self: these anthologies really aren’t worth it.
The Dark Knight and the Merc with a Mouth team up for an adventure so mind-bending you'll think you’re in a dream! Brought to you by legendary creators Grant Morrison and Dan Mora! And be sure not to miss these incredible extra stories: Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, and Joshua Williamson team up with Hayden Sherman for a magical Constantine/Doc...
Similar to my feelings with Wolverine: Revenge; this year, I think this title could’ve really benefited having twice as many issues to flesh out the story.
Although not my preferred style, the art for this series does a great job translating the feel of the book, including the second artist which feels like a nice break within the story.
THE EURASIAN REPUBLIC'S COUNTERATTACK! Furious after the events of issue #10, Magik, Colossus and OmegaRed will have their vengeance! Can the Opposition survive Dr. Prostovich's "Psychic Bomb"?! Will Wolverine be able to protect the friends he's only just been reunited with?
Batman’s sitting criss cross apple sauce here.
A villain centered issue, not sure about the originality, but I’m staying in tuned for what’s to come..
As Bruce Wayne investigates the Crown of Storms, Batman pursues Anarky and discovers a criminal conspiracy hiding in plain sight that will change the game for crime and criminals in Gotham City…and the world!
I’m only knocking a point because I have no idea what’s going on here.
However the art and writing are a solid 10.
I’d collect a Batman run by these two in a heartbeat.
The stage is set, and Bruce Wayne’s battle through a gauntlet of future Batmen is on! Each former Robin has shaped Gotham City into their own vision of justice, and if Bruce can make his way past Dick Grayson, he’ll face the darkest one yet. Will he survive the most violent aspects of his own legacy? Or will Batman’s greatest failure destroy ...
Definitely a stronger first half in this 12 issue run, by Jason Aaron, who I think got repetitive and wonky especially with the court room drama and conclusion.
The arts what really caught me by surprise, not my typical cup of tea but Juan Ferreyra carried the story for me. Very dynamic and entertaining to gaze upon.
For 12 issues, the Ninja Turtles have faced challenge after challenge as they’ve been ripped apart, accused of murder, and put on trial as New York City’s greatest villains. The fight to clear their names and at last heal their family comes down to this, as nothing stands between the Turtles and their freedom…except a threat unlike anything t...
INCREDIBLE...IMMORTAL...INFERNAL! The evil known as Eldest has literally torn Bruce Banner and the Hulk apart and taken the Hulk's body as their own. This new, unstoppable Infernal Hulk is ten times the monster that everyone always feared Hulk would be. Their diabolical plan is to plunge the world back into ancient horrors by transforming our heroe...
The art is sick and this issue 1 got me hooked..

I have to hand it to Snyder, the man knows how to make one helluva climatic ending.
Batman and Catwoman face down Bane in a final battle! But once the dustsettles, what will it all mean for the future of Batman?
Executed so perfectly, I can go an edit all my other reviews and drop a point.
I’ll be in tuned for what’s to come ..
Ideas explode like atom bombs, minds melt, and colors clash in the darknessbehind the eyes of every person on the planet. It’s Green Martian versusWhite Martian, John Jones versus madness itself, as he fights to save hisfamily—and the world.
A TALE OF TWO HEROES! Two different heroes, vastly different methods, and one mission only they can take on together. But why Peter and Logan? Don't miss the kickoff to the most surprising Wolverine and Spider-Man adventure of all! PLUS: the debut of an ALL-NEW VILLAIN who owes more to Peter and Logan than you can imagine!
Issues 1-6 were a home run, a comic that doesn’t take itself seriously and gorgeous art to boot.
END OF STORY ARC Battle Beast goes to war. A looming threat emerges, one longtime fans of INVINCIBLE will recognize.
I’m too lazy to check out invincible, so I’ll check this out.
It’s a blast of a debut.
SERIES PREMIERETHE BEST NEW (NOT QUITE A) SUPERHERO SERIES IN THE UNIVERSE!

But even in a universe of mighty Viltrumites like Invincible and Omni-Man, it seems that no one may be able to s...
A lot of moving parts that I think keep this really interesting.
Vandal Savage makes his move against Batman and Robin, Bruce Wayne tries to make amends, and the Riddler makes his play for arguably the most important item in all of Gotham. Fraction and Jiménez take things to a whole new level as their thrilling new run on Batman continues!
This book didn’t need to go this hard but I’m stoked as hell it did.
Experience Batman’s epic journey during the explosive DC K.O. event! The Dark Knight is forced to take a different path in the tournament for the Heart of Apokolips—one that has turned Gotham into a deadly arena where Batman must battle against the Batmen of the future! Who are these Batmen? Stay tuned to find out! Get ready for the greatest fi...
Curios..
If DJW had the entire issue to flesh out his story, would there have been any actual depth to it?
Some of the biggest names in comics take a turn in the Absolute Universe! Daniel Warren Johnson and James Harren tell tales from Absolute Batman’s early days! How did Bruce acquire his batmobile? And what was it like for Black Mask’s party animals when Batman first hit the scene?
A new day dawns for the Dark Knight Detective as Eisner Award-winningwriter Matt Fraction (Hawkeye, Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen) joins forces withsuperstar artist Jorge Jiménez (Batman, Summer of Superman Special) for anunforgettable new era of Batman!The best superhero in comics gets a brand-new first issue to kick off this newera that will test...
