Chris X reviewed Los Monstruos #2 Jun 25, 2025
I'm really enjoying this story. The art is good enough but not great, which is the only reason this is not a ten for me.

Werewolf P.I. Perry Cutter’s latest case should have been simple; find a missing vampiress for an old boyfriend. Yeah, at least as simple as anything can be in Los Monstruos, a city populated entirely by monsters. But now that mob boss, casino owner and living mummy Ramses Ra and vampire gang the Blood Boys are both involved, things have suddenly...

Chris X reviewed Uncanny X-Men #16 Jun 25, 2025
I have enjoyed the last few issues of Uncanny X-Men, but after reading the finale of Dark Artery, I have to say that this storyline wasn't the creepy horror tale that I anticipated. What we got instead was a lot of talk, talk and more talk, and in the end... nothing.
I did enjoy the Marquez art though.

Chris X reviewed Giant-Size: Age Of Apocalypse #1 Jun 25, 2025
Utter crap. The only reason it's not a 1 is Simone Di Meo's art for the 4-page backup story.

The future is up for grabs. Kamala Khan has prevailed in her fight against Legion - but now the two are stuck in the darkest future of all: the Age of Apocalypse! Worse yet: It's only hours from its inevitable end; if Kamala can't find what's left of the X-Men, she'll burn in nuclear hellfire. Former enemies must learn to rely on one another as the...
Chris X reviewed Fantastic Four #33 Jun 25, 2025
This wasn’t too bad compared to the last few issues. I mean, it still had mediocre, lifeless art, horrible dialogue and terrible writing decisions (telling the story from Herbie‘s point of view, then learning about his final fate off-screen). But I also felt some sense of wonder about the grandeur and strangeness of the universe. It seems that just as a broken clock is right twice a day, Ryan more

FANTASTIC ZERO!
It all comes down to this! Thirty-three issues of fantastic adventure culminate in a final stirring adventure, back to the beginning...of EVERYTHING. When the solution to what Doom did to Ben can only be found in the past, the Fantastic Four must voyage back four hundred and thirty-six quadrillion seconds into the Big Bang...
Chris X reviewed Flash Gordon #10 Jun 22, 2025
The art and story are still "just" okay, but the philosophical undertones between Zarkov and his robot copy make this issue stand out a bit more.

On the run from a wild, subterranean species, Brian, Jeff, and Franklin push further beneath the earth to discover unseen wonders and the horrors that guard them.
Chris X reviewed Flash Gordon #9 Jun 22, 2025
There are hints of Alan Davis and Neal Adams in Tom Derenick's work, but he doesn't come near the quality of his obvious idols (yet). Anyway, the result is solid enough to make Flash Gordon a fluid and entertaining read.

Chris X reviewed Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #2 Jun 22, 2025
Maybe I've judged this series too harshly. This second issue continues BB's existential crisis and makes me hope that there will be a clever twist to all the fun and gore at the end. In the meantime, I'm just enjoying the great art and the fact that this comic is taking me back to a feeling I haven't had since reading Heavy Metal and Epic back in the 80s.

I created an account just to write this review. I'm so tired of John Romita Jr. ruining my favorite characters. It's like he's drawing with a rule, every lines are straight, these square face are so ugly and it's not like he was putting details, it looks cheap. I was enjoying the arts of Pepe Larraz and guess who's back to ruin everything again, John Romita Jr. I don't understand why Marvel doesn more

The desecration continues. Who at Marvel thought this was a great idea?

The past isn't set in stone. Kamala Khan is locked in a battle through time against an unstable and unleashed Legion - and she's gone from the frying pan into the Phoenix fire.

Why do you think he bought it? Your whole insult is based on him spending money on this garbage. You know most people who hate read, or probably review on here in general, read their books for free online right? Your being a Karen...and a dumb one at that. Stay in your own lane.
Pretty much my thoughts. However, I don’t hate read. I have been an X-Men fan for decades and I want these books to be good. When they are, they get good reviews from me. When they aren‘t, I call them out on the bullshit.

Chris X reviewed G.I. Joe #8 Jun 18, 2025
Andrea Milana is doing a good job mimicking Tom Reilly‘s style, but his close-ups are often quite rough and sketchy. There’s some Manga influence especially with the women’s faces, which I’m not particularly fond of. Anyway, all in all, it’s a good issue. I enjoyed the Paris scene very much. It’s the calmer scenes and character work that distinguishes this G.I. Joe title from Larry Ham more

Chris X reviewed West Coast Avengers #8 Jun 18, 2025
Most of the issue would be a solid 6 for me, nothing special. Kim‘s art is still somewhat amateurish, although it does show signs of future greatness.
However, Killerwatt's dilemma at the end is so interesting, I had to give the book an extra point. For some reason he's a new favourite character of mine, and I love the fact that he seems to become the heart of this team.

The competition between the Ultrons kicks into high gear as the West Coast Avengers finally take on the Church of Ultron! And as they battle Ultron's loyal followers, another threat looms - what's Flag-Smasher been up to in prison?

This wasn't a bad issue. The art is not great, but anything's better than Stegman and Diaz's crude figures. I hate that they wasted so many large panels on trivial discussions, but the intrigue itself is quite good. Actually, this is the first time I find this book remotely interesting.

The experiment of Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzig writing comic books needs to come to an end. There is no rhyme or reason to this nor is there any demand for it. This isn't fun and it doesn't help to endear Kamala Khan to a fan base that already hates the idea of her being a mutant. This celebrates nothing. Save your money and time.

"The experiment of Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing writing comic books" — lol in what way is it an experiment? There are so many ways to say you don't care for someone's writing, and you went out of the way to find a weird and senseless one.
Not really. Maybe you should have gone out of your way and thought about it a little. No big deal. Thinking isn't for everyone champ. Your good scores for terrible comics alone is evidence of that. Now if you don't mind I'll just hit that block button annnnnnd BOOM. Enjoy the rest of your day.

Please don't speak for X-Men fans. It is pretty clear that you have a political agenda of your own.
I really don't. I prefer my comics to be non-political. I have been an X-Men fan for almost forty years though, so I do have a good idea what older fans want. If you enjoy this modern crap for some reason, fine. Have your opinion, as I have mine.
Resurrecting Madelyne Pryor was one of Marvel's worst decisions of the last few decades. It completely eradicated the impact of Inferno and gave us a Goblin Queen without sense or purpose. For this reason alone, the story doesn't work. And then there's the art, which is not the worst I've ever seen, but also not great.

Being a gay man, this should speak to me. It doesn’t, because it looks like crap and reeks of indoctrination. Really, I’m expected to buy this poorly assembled bullshit just because I’m homosexual? It may come as a surprise to you, Marvel, but your actual gay and lesbian readers, like any other reader, just want to read a great comic, but you’re not giving us great comics anymore.

The action works much better here than in last issue and Carmen Carnero’s art really shines. However, the mindscape scenes are not so great. Emma’s self-gratuitous monologues are so tiresome at this point and Federica Mancin’s art is, well… let’s just say, most of these new artists, unlike Carnero, have never learned proper anatomy.
The result is an uneven book that I half enj more
