Astonishingly Awful's Profile

I don’t know if Andrea Milana has officially become a second regular artist on this book, but if his art continues to improve as much as in his last few issues, I’m fine with that. This one has some really great action layouts that he probably wouldn’t have been able to pull off just a few months ago. If you want to see a future great artist in the making, read G.I. Joe!

I skipped part 1 and 2, but had to check out part 3 because Mikel Janin is back on art - and, boy, this is probably the best issue I've read in this run yet! The art is fantastic, the story feels engaged and the action is just breathtaking. I just hope the solution of the mystery isn't what I think it is.

Usually I hate it when comics change artists all the time, but in case of this series, the art got better with each issue. Farid Karami’s pages are a sight for sore eyes. I’d say, give him a flagship book, but I think he already drew a few issues of the last Avengers run, which - despite the art - was a huge disappointment. I guess Marvel doesn’t have flagship titles anymore, since either the writ er or the artist or both of them suck. If titles like Wonder Man and The Punisher are Marvel’s best books, while the X-titles, Fantastic Four and Spider-Man are all pretty much dogshit, something is really really going the wrong way for the House of Ideas.more

A satisfying conclusion to a mediocre comic. Trujillo certainly doesn’t waste the great potential of connecting these two great pop culture mythologies, but unfortunately it gets a bit lost in the boring, average art.

Jed took 5 issues to wrap a story up like this. What a disgrace. The X-men stuck in the belly of a beast who is simply known as “leviathan” is beaten by the power of friendship. Psyclock infiltrates the danger room Hq. We are shown nothing. Nor do we know what happens to them. We just get a “ I’ll fix them” type panel and no mention. Just gone. The person who shot glob. “We will hunt him down one day. Magneto you hunted nazis so you’ll help also. Then We move on. That the whole issue. Resolve as quickly as possible. Move on. The pacing and writing are wretched. What an awful conclusion to what started as a less awful storyline. The mad rush to get to the next storyline is obvious and a let down. The x books are broken. Someone. Anyone. Help the X-men. more

Bad art and a confusing mess of a script. Please cancel this crap already.

I can’t say I’m completely hooked yet, but Absolute Green Arrow has some great atmospheric writing and stylish art that I quite enjoyed.

Punisher is one of Marvel’s few solid titles that I look forward to each month.

To quote Emma Frost: “What a waste”…. of my time. This book is 100% woke reeducation and 0% talent. Both the writing and art are some of the worst I’ve seen in a Marvel comic in my entire life.

We are also still not given an explanation how people can enter a psychic school and, from there, teleport to another place or time, somehow becoming physical, when their actual bodies are back i n their homes. This whole psychic school concept is utter nonsense. It’s almost as if the author doesn’t know how reality works. Which, in Ewing’s case, seems very likely.more

The guest art is so bad, it almost makes Humberto Ramos look like Leonardo DaVinci. And the story is just a big nothingburger. I won’t even mention the “indie” (actually, horribly drawn) backup story.

There‘s something about Inglorious X-Force that feels like an X-title from the good old days, but in the end, neither the art nor the writing are good enough to make the title stand out.

Read issue 1 of the from the Ashes. it's not terrible. its not good but its something. Since then it's been a downward spiral. just when I think its reached a new low...Somehow Gail is getting worse. the characters you care about like wolverine rogue etc. appear on 4 total pages and do nothing. instead its back to Gails created characters only hijacking this book. The plot is a total disaster. just an utter mess with no meaningful progression to an end or why any of this is happening. We just know this will lead to no pay off . Gail is trying to write a mystery but the only mystery is why I'm still reading. When we get Monet appearing I held my head. How much worse can this get? well turns out I simply lacked sufficient imagination. Remove Gail. Save the Uncanny X-men . someone. anyone. make it stop. more

A confusing and convoluted issue. I wouldn’t be surprised if we didn’t get a satisfying conclusion to this mess next issue.

Great story. The art is fine, nothing special, but really shines in the Red Hulk scenes.

Yet another artist change, back to “regular” artist Valerio Schiti. There are some confusing panel transitions, but overall, it’s passable work.
The writing is becoming a problem for me though. The reveal of the villain was so predictable. Plus, the allegories to current political events are so in-your-face, it’s not really fun reading this anymore. When did comics stop being an escape from r eal life? Captain America in particular should emphasize idealism, not moral relativism.more

Horrible, horrible art. And this nonsense about Galactus being a "universal constant" is insane, considering he's killed billions of people.
