If this comic is a solid 4 then why did you rate it a 1? Was that a mistake?
Waaaayyyy to mid to be charging this much, I was fully expecting a mind blowing first issue and I’m pretty disappointed, hulk does something cool and there a cool assassin, but that’s about it…
Art is mid, and the writing is mid, they repeated the same thing in at least five pages I seriously stopped reading and started skimming
JONATHAN HICKMAN, FEDERICO VICENTINI AND IBAN COELLO TAKE ON THE UNIVERSE!
A sweeping Marvel cosmic event! Imperial is a story of intrigue, mysteries and war, which takes place against the backdrop of the formation of new galactic order in the Marvel Universe. Featuring HULKS, BLACK PANTHERS, NOVAS, GUARDIANS and COSMIC KINGS and QUEENS. ...
I'm not a huge fan of Marvel's cosmic books. They usually consist of brightly colored weirdos floating in space, talking. So why am I reading this? I guessI I wanted to know what happens to Professor X, but he's not even in this issue.
Hickman, as usual, is doing a good job. The art is technically good too, but not my cup of tea. I would have preferred a more realistic, less funny style more

The story turned out to be more trivial than I had hoped, but the art, man... Pepe Larraz is just fantastic! Unfortunately, next issue JRJR is taking over, which probably means I'm done with this book.
NO HOPE AGAINST THE HOBGOBLIN!
As HOBGOBLIN's assault tears SPIDER-MAN's mind (and limbs) apart, Kingsley unleashes his wrath on those nearest and dearest to Peter Parker. And this is a deadly race against time Spider-Man can't afford to lose - even as he risks losing his sanity to win!
Rated T
Larraz is amazing and the MVP here. Otherwise, this was really fine. Nothing groundbreaking, but enjoyable read.

Finally an issue of Storm that I enjoyed. The heavy use of over-sized panels is still a problem, but much less so than in previous issues. Somehow Ayodele and Werneck manage to give us much more story content this time - and the story itself is intriguing, interesting, spiritual, even funny at times (She-Hulk is awesome!). I love all the mythology and cosmic shenanigans in this book. And Storm's pmore
ETERNITY has grown desperate. He abducts a powerful cosmic entity and hides them in the STORM SANCTUARY, STORM's floating home in Atlanta. What is the identity of this cosmic entity?

A fight between the X-Men and any group that Cassandra Nova is part of should feel grand and important, not like an episode of the Muppet Show.
Disaster charges toward the town of Merle, Alaska, as the X-Men are preoccupied with their own battle against the 3K X-Men. Only Magneto stands between the town and destruction - can he prevail even in the face of his deteriorating condition?

any critic giving this issue a 5/10 or above has lost all credibility. solid 4 at best and that is being generous. nobody asked for this and no one is demanding more. Marvel needs to start appreciating their fans instead of destroying everything they enjoy.

Hyde Street 6 is a fascinating piece of satirical horror, intelligently written and well drawn, but yet again, the issue just ends somewhere, without a satisfying conclusion or even some sort of cliffhanger.
The manipulative Mr. X-Ray wants OUT of Hyde Street, pronto. The closer he gets to snatching 10,000 souls, the nearer his freedom. And he wants to up the count in a big way: by capturing an entire theater full of poor saps who have found their way onto Hyde Street. But will one good soul ruin it all?
Aside from the usual hints of woke nonsense (I really don't like the inflationary use of the word "bigotry" as a catch all word for anything inconvenient or challenging), this was another surprisingly great read. I think I even noticed some Claremontian magic - the costume transformations, but also some thoughtful character dynamics. Uncanny X-Men is slowly becoming my favorite X-title (which, to more

Adam Kubert and Sara Pichelli make Giant-Size X-Men 1 look good, but make no mistake: this issue continues the ongoing desecration of the corpse that once was one of the most beloved, inspiring and exciting comic franchises of our times.

Stylistically, Andrea Milana is a fitting fill-in for Tom Reilly, but in regard to quality, the absence of the latter does make a difference. This run of G.I. Joe was brilliant so far - this issue is "just" good.
NEW STORY ARC
A STANDALONE NIGHT FORCE COVERT OP! The FIRST APPEARANCE of the iconic BEACH HEAD! But is this really his last MISSION?!The new G.I. JOE epic STARTS HERE.
Does anyone else think this only exists because Millar hopes that Hollywood will turn it into a movie? As a comic it's pretty much indecipherable, thanks to some of the worst art I've seen in years.
The siege continues with the last humans on Earth trapped behind the walls of Vatican City as billions of vampires wait outside, afraid of the holy relics. But something is buried beneath the Vatican itself and the vampires want it more than even the human blood inside.
LOST IN THE YARD
Imbued with the power of a mystical amulet, Slade Slaymaker has survived blood-crazed mosquitoes and barbaric Beetle Riders. But as he crosses the wilds of the Yard with the spider witch Wysta, an even greater danger awaits, for they must enter the world of death and utter ruin known as…the Mowed Lands.

I usually like Marcos Martin‘s art, but this issue didn’t work for me. Sometimes it was hard to tell what’s even happening.
Batman is in the fight for his life against this icy new threat. But in the end, what terrifying truth will be unearthed about Ark M and…Joker?
Boring, strangely paced and full of bad ideas. North can’t write. The art is not very attractive either.
LAST ONE STANDING!

In terms of the art, this issue is huge step down from Janin. Garbett is solid though. What he lacks in expressive, attractive faces, he makes up for with his atmospheric scenery. It’s a good issue, I’m just not sure I’m that interested in the book without Mikel Janin.
In the wake of Asema’s murderous rampage, a new threat to Gotham—andthe world at large—has been exposed. Still reeling from personal revelationsabout his past, Batman must take on a group obsessed with their ownfuture. A group that has targeted a dear friend.
The General is on the hunt for the man behind the mask and is on the warpath.As the Dynamic Duo continue to stretch themselves thin and tire themselves outstopping various threats around Gotham, the General’s threat closes in on them!
I wanted more action for this team, but I take it back. Eve Ewing can’t write action scenes. This issue was boring, stupid and utterly painful to read. Usually I would take the excellent art into account, but action doesn’t seem to be Carmen Carnero’s forte either. I can’t believe I’m saying this, but please go back to telling slice-of-life stories. They weren’t the X-Men stories l wanmore
The team figures out the truth about Sheldon Xenos' true identity, and EMMA FROST has to go somewhere she really, really doesn't want to go - deep inside the mind of one of her worst enemies, SINISTER!

I actually loved this. Like wth, this was a banger issue and this whole arc has been really good. Are we actually getting back?
I hope this sentiment ages well. I really do.

I always loved Larraz's artwork, but WOW... this issue is on a whole new level of greatness. Spidey's body looks so amazing, I could gobble up these pages all day long. I do have some minor qualms with the story (poisoned cola, really? Plus, the whole teen rebellion thing feels somewhat unnatural), but overall it's a great series so far.

This issue could have been fun with Pasarin's art, but unfortunately we are stuck with pretty average guest art that I can only describe as a cross between Manga and bad 90s comics. I'm sure it works for some, but for me it makes the whole story fall flat.
Guy Gardner is reluctantly saddled with a new partner, but he’s determined to keephim out of the way while they look for another source of Nth metal, all while SimonBaz frets over “Teen” Lantern who is showing signs of strain during the rebuildingof Oa.
I have never read an issue of Invincible, but the preview of Battle Beast looked interesting enough to give it a chance. I expected something like Tellos or Masters of the Universe with more depth. I was obviously misled by the preview pages showing BB walk across an alien landscape to confront a mysterious head inserted into a wall. Unfortunately, the actual comic is not mysterious at all, but prmore

After almost a year I thought I’d give this book another try. It hasn’t improved one bit. Stephanie Phillips is a terrible writer and the art, although less abstract than in earlier issues - looks “cute” in the worst way imaginable. It’s almost as if they reimagined the Phoenix Saga as a “magical girl” book. Horrible.
