Aesopjer reviewed Ultimate Wolverine #11 Dec 6, 2025
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!
Aesopjer reviewed DC K.O.: Knightfight #2 Dec 5, 2025
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.

Aesopjer reviewed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #12 Dec 5, 2025
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.
/12_small.webp)
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...
