This bears no resemblance to classic Dungeons & Dragons. The art is somewhat enjoyable, especially the coloring, but it’s very saccharine and serves a questionable purpose.

I loved the humor in this issue. Ghost Pepper may not be a masterpiece, but it is a damn good comic.

Stupid and fun. As usual.

Werneck's artwork is good, but the story is a convoluted mess. Plus, there are a couple of things that just rubbed me the wrong way:
1. One does not simply defeat Galactus, even if you're Rogue with a power upgrade.
2. When you had a statue for your missing loved one made, would you really depict her in the uniform of the being that caused her disappearance?
As so often with Simone's stories, it's the details that make no sense. more

Sorry, not a fan of McGuiness or Nauck. Settle on one %$%$§%$§ artist, Marvel - and make it Larraz.

Pretty dramatic and cinematic issue - I liked it! Cap Colton is an interesting character that I'd love to see more of, but since the series is set in the past, his days are most likely numbered.

Great cover as well.

The weakest issue so far, especially when it comes to the art.

I wanted to skip Rogue Storm (not a fan of alternate realities), especially after seeing that dreadful Humberto Ramos cover, but the interior art looked interesting. Plus, Ayodele is one of those writer who always come up with something different and intriguing.

Anyway, Roland Boschi's art, on closer inspection, is a mixed bag. I like his storytelling, anatomy and page layouts, but the linework itself is rough and sketchy. There are some excellent pages though, like the ones where Storm is calmly riding her hippopotamus or the one where she is captured. The rest of the book is good enough to convey the story, which is interesting indeed - however, it’s mostly just setup.

Rogue Storm is definitely one of the better books in the Age of Revelation line, but I'm not sure it's good enough for me to keep reading. more

Although I'm not sure Marcos Martin is right for this title, I found the issue much more consistent regarding the quality of the art.

Nobody needed this, and it's not even drawn well.

Well… so this was the final installment of the first story arc, and I can’t quite decide if I like this book enough to continue reading. I can understand where the hype is coming from. Absolute Batman has a very cinematic feel and great action. It’s gritty and brutal and reminiscent of The Dark Knight. However, it’s also ridiculous (the costume gimmicks, the “fat-signal”), the flashbacks are just too much, and the art frankly sucks in most non-action scenes. So is this really good enough to stand on its own or is it just Temu Dark Knight? I guess I’ll give it some more issues. After all, it’s not that there’s a lot of readable stuff out there at the moment. more

My favorite part is the fat-signal. This is getting ridiculous. I did like the action though.

I couldn’t bring myself to reading Transformers after the first issue, mainly because of the art. It was just too gritty and sketchy for my taste, and the humans just looked badly drawn. Dan Mora brings a much needed technical finesse and clean line to the book. This is what the Transformers should look like! I also enjoyed the story and dialogue, even though I don’t really know what’s going on. more

Why can't this book keep an artist for more than two or three issues? This is frustrating.

I wanted to skip this event, since I'm not interested in anything based on or inspired by the original Age of Apocalypse, which ruined the X-books for me for most of the 90s. However, the premise of "our" Cyclops and Beast entering this future age to prevent it, is mildly intriguing.
Leafing through the AoR books out this week, this one is pretty much the only one with decent art, so I thought I'd give it a try. Mahmud Asrar is excellent indeed. I wasn't an initial fan, but he grew on me in Bug Wars. This issue, to my surprise, looks even better.
Now that doesn't mean Amazing X-Men is a great comic. Jed McKay's wooden dialogue and clumsy exposition are pretty horrible, even though the story itself isn't that bad. So how can I rate this? I guess I'm just going with the average.

Art: 9
Writing: 5

The constant flashbacks and inner monologue are getting repetitive. Plus, Gabriel Walta is an interesting artist, but probably not a good choice for a superhero title.

This one didn't do it for me. I was starting to get bored by the story after a few pages, and the art lacked the urgency and rawness that I liked about first two issues. In calmer scenes, I can't help but find Dragotta's art kind of average - good enough to tell the story, but not good enough to show that there's an age difference between Bruce and his mother.

Batman looks ridiculous. The logo looks ridiculous. The art is rough. The writing feels disjointed. Snyder and Dragotta don't seem to care too much whether their creation is perfect. Maybe that's why I like it.

This book shouldn't work, but for some reason it does.

Just awful. Awful writing, awful art. We don't need a new future version of the X-Men, we need a better present day version.

This is 100% a filler arc and I’m not here for it. Call me when Pete’s back on earth. Hell the Norman spidey stuff is even way more interesting than this. I just…. Don’t care.
