I‘m so glad you noticed all this stuff too. I was thinking I was just missing something. Or going mad. Or that maybe I’ve had a stroke. This comic is just abysmally bad. It’s as if no one responsible for the creation of this nonsense even cares.

The art -it sucks
the story- it sucks
alternate reality story. it sucks
Gail - she sucks
im so very tired of her on the X-men. Gail has no voice for these characters. these are dark days for the X books. there is zero new creativity, zero urgency to get new readers. we get rehashed old ideas like the outback, rogue in savage land. last story arc wolverine was a damn werewolf

Hellish dreams come to Haven House in our most unexpected story yet! Who has been manipulating the UNCANNY X-MEN since the beginning? Questions answered and nightmares unleashed…and a shocking ending that could change X-lore forever! X-fans, do not miss this story!
The apes with the powers of the FF are great fun. I just wish the art was more interesting.
Planet Of The Apes Vs. Fantastic Four #3
A rebellion is afoot in Ape City…and the Fantastic Four have lost their powers. Enter: The Apetastic Four! Meanwhile, Dr. Doom and the Red Ghost’s plans begin to bear fruit. Will they conquer the Planet of the Apes…or destroy it?!
Issue #1 was really bad. so let's recap with unexplained things-
1-featuring a school created by Emma in the astral plane thats fake but also real?( how and didn't we do this already?
2- It has a danger room that can kill you ( how? ).
3-it has a lunch room to eat ( why? isn't the food fake?) Emma is headed to get food in issue 2 also for reasons.
4- the worst characterizati

X-MEN DIVIDED! Mutantdom’s newest institute of higher learning has barely welcomed its first students, and things are already going down in flames. Meanwhile, an elite team of mutants has to travel through time on a mission alongside none other than CAPTAIN AMERICA!
@Astonishingly Awful - Editorial is asleep at the wheel or Tom no longer cares. the Cyclops solo book is the best Xmen title out right now and it's barely passable. In the Claremont era Its a 2/10 but by todays low standards its a 5.5/10. Adjectiveless X-men has mid issues sometimes but is mostly bad. Gail needs to retire. She hasn't written something competent in 10 years.
I don’t like the Cyclops book and the adjectiveless X-Men at all. Gail Simone is hit or miss for me, but at least Uncanny is a book that’s somewhat reminiscent of the Claremont era. I also think it has the better artists, but your mileage may vary.
Disgusting. Fun. Short.
Invincible Universe: Battle Beast #8
Battle Beast vs Colossus...AND Juggernaut? Juggernaut and Colossus want to celebrate their family reunion by killing Battle Beast...before he gets to kill them. Plus, what is the Viltrum Empire planning?
Ghost Pepper #10
It’s all been leading to this—Ash vs Bataar! As Loloi and her team risk it all to save their world, nothing has prepared them for the devastating consequences!
Whether it’s the fact that things are finally coming together or the change of artist, this is the best issue of Inglorious X-Force so far. It reminded me of reading X-Force in the 90s, in the best way possible. While the art by Michael Sta. Maria in previous issues was solid, it was also kind of boring. Philip Tan, in comparison, is a breath of fresh air. While I usually don’t like manga-inspired more
Inglorious X-Force #4
ANGEL OF DEATH! CABLE assembled his team to prevent an assassination…but has he brought down his own? The secret of ARCHANGEL changes everything, as does the revelation of the MYSTERY MUTANT ASSAILANT trailing our hero!
An almost silent issue. I'm not a fan of those, but at least it's drawn by Tom Reilly. His storytelling ability is undeniable and sets this issue apart from most other stories of its kind.
G.I. Joe #21
STORM SHADOW AND SCARLETT RETURN! The Arashikage and Cobra have met once before...prepare for ROUND TWO! Will G.I. Joe be forced to put a stop to it?
I read this because the Siege Perilous played a huge part in the X-Men when I discovered Marvel comics in the 80s. In this book however, it is reduced to a comedy prop. Also, this is just not how the Siege Perilous works.
Even if I overlook this disrespectful use of one of Chris Claremont's greatest creations, Black Cat 9 is a horrible comic. It is terribly written and the art is tolerable a

Black Cat #9
IF INTERDIMENSIONAL TREASURE HEISTS HAD A NAME…IT WOULD BE FELICIA HARDY! EVERYTHING is going wrong for BLACK CAT and VENOM! They’re getting away with their prize – just NOT the prize they set out for! And said treasure may turn out to be a hyper-destructive, Multiverse-ending apocalypse machine. I wonder how much Felicia can get for it?
I still don't know what is going on, but I had more fun than last issue. Plus, really like the art.
New Titans #34
Everything is not as it seems! As Titans Tower begins to fall apart at the seams, Nightwing’s team is visited by heroes claiming to be the New Titans! What’s real? What’s an illusion? Will the Titans ever escape the loop? And what’s behind all this pandemonium?
1. I don’t think the writer knows how the astral plane works.
2. The dialogue is bad.
3. The art is bad.
4. I think I lost a few brain cells.

It’s incredible to try to comprehend that the editorial team thought, planned, and chose the creative team for a title that was supposedly important to this era of the X-Men,and delivered this atrocity. Bad art, bizarre story. The X-line is dead.

Storm still looks stupid, but I can see some improvement in the art when it comes to composing dynamic action scenes. Not enough to actually read this crap though.

To save STORM from THE WAR ABOVE ALL, a mysterious entity abducts ORORO out of the Multiverse completely. STORM must find her way back to EARTH-616 by any means necessary.

There are enough interesting ideas in UXM Annual 1 to fill a whole mini series, but that’s exactly the problem. Crammed into a single issue it all feels very rushed and all over the place. The reader doesn’t spend enough time with these potentially fascinating characters, and as a result, the emotional payoff that Simone clearly intended falls flat, which is a shame.
The art is okay, maybe ev

Uncanny X-Men Annual #1
From the pages of THE DARK ARTERY in UNCANNY X-MEN: Who are the Regulators, the turn-of-the-century mutants who once called Haven House their home? And what secret connection do they have to Wolverine’s past?
An alternate reality story. How original for an X-Men comic. The art isn't exactly my cup of tea either.
On the positive side: I like the classic soap opera elements (Rogue and Gambit talking about kids, Nightcrawler's new girlfriend), that are pretty much gone from all the other X-titles.
Call me paranoid, but I think all the other reviews with a 10 rating are by the same pe

Not bad, not great. This title needs something to make it stand out.
Iron Man #4
TONY STARK: DISSASSEMBLED! The Golden Avenger is trapped in a puzzle of his own design, forced to test his skills and knowledge – not as Iron Man, but as Tony Stark. Can Tony embrace his role as the “Most dangerous weapon in the Marvel Universe” to escape? What new technology will he create to defeat Madame Masque’s maze?
The second of the three stories stood out to me as the most engaging and artistically interesting one, while the first one was a nice but predictable homage to Jack Kirby. Unfortunately I didn’t enjoy the third installment that much. Despite pretty art I had a hard time understanding what‘s even happening.
First story: 7
Second story: 9
Third story: 5

For a potential new reader (I read a few Titans issues over the years but really don’t know much about them) this was a confusing read. Nightwing has lost the will to continue superheroing, which feels contrived, the team is attacked multiple times, and for some reason there’s a talking coffee machine. I didn’t really understand this comic, especially not the coffee machine.

And if they can’t trust each other…can they even trust themselves? Tate Brombal and Sami Basri kick ...
I have seen worse from Stephanie Phillips, but in the end, neither the writing nor the art are very exciting. What really turned me off was a scene in which a student educates Matt Murdock about the use of technology in learning, which makes me expect the worst of what’s to come in future issues. Make no mistake, this is DEI Daredevil.

The story is really fun in an old school way. I’m also happy to see Hellcat and Killerwatt, who was the standout star in the last West Coast Avengers series. However, what the inker did to Buckingham’s pencils is unforgivable.
