Or, reading it for Spider-Man and MJ and are tolerating the conceit of the Ultimate Universe.
This issue made me subscribe
Wally’s back is up against the wall as the Rogues bear down on him. Can heevade capture and harness some of his newfound speed, or is he already atthe finish line?
Some storylines just work and this whole universe that JT is creating, is just flawless. I love a good setting and thank God we got a big fat first issue to get through all the killer intro's.
I'm ready to read this series from the beginning until the end and so should you.
SERIES PREMIERE Every five years on Halloween, the wealthiest families in America play a game. Twelve of the deadliest people in the world are dropped into a small town with just one goal: last killer standing wins. For the citizens of Oak Valley, Maine-this year's unlucky arena-the goal is much simpler. They must survive the night. Experience a...
My compliments to the chef, Jason Aaron.
Fabulous issue

THE SECRET ORIGIN OF MYSTERIO!
Even Kingpin knows little about the criminal in the smoky helmet...but Spider-Man's about to learn more than he bargained for!
RATED T
Yeah true, are we here for the web-slinging action and the Spider-Man/MJ drama, or just tolerating Marvel’s boldest and most iconic universe experiment? Either way, for me this is a wild ride where the emotional explosions hit almost as hard as the Green Goblin’s Pumpkin Bombs!
I would add: "disliking the lack of focus on the titular character for half of the series" as one of the main reasons why one would not give this a 10. Another one being "missing crucial conversations between main characters".
Final issue of this great and solid series.
It does end on a high but its always been the end we expected to happen. So for that reason I was secretly hoping for another twist...
One this is for sure. If it gets a second arc, I'm in!
Inspired by way too many sitcoms, when Robin gets caught trying to plan a surpriseparty for Starfire’s birthday, he invents a new alias—Texas Robin, his identical twincousin—to explain who the party is for. Costume changes and misunderstandingsabound, leading to the reveal that the birthday Robin thought was Starfire’s isactually Silkie’s...
Wooow this issue is a bomb of a read!
It has a super nice flow and pace and of course you can expect some dog/security fight action.
Trust me, you'll love every page of it and you'll crave for more.
When the mysterious floating eyeball sends one of the Rocketfeller family members to the ER, a squad of heavily armed intruders converge upon their home. The only one left to defend it? The cute, little dog Rex. Pray for the invaders…
This second issue delivers everything I had hoped for! The world building is amazing and truly enjoyable to explore as a reader.
The combination of stunning artwork, powerful emotions, and an engaging storyline makes this an exceptional series. This is definitely a series that's here to stay!

When I head Wes Craig was the artist, I stepped out of my comfort zone and read an GI Joe issue. In totality the story is not a high flyer, but the action, the colours and the art is simply amazing. Everything you want from Wes C is in this issue, solid!
SUPERSTAR CREATORS PRESENT UNFORGETTABLE ALL NEW G.I. JOE SILENT MISSIONS The face of comic books changed forever when G.I. JOE: A REAL AMERICAN HERO #21 introduced fans to the “Silent Interlude,” an action-packed story with NO DIALOGUE. Now, in a standalone silent issue from WES CRAIG (KAYA, DEADLY CLASS), Duke treks through Cobra-infested ter...
I'm going to be honest, I was biased due to a good review... so my hopes were high for this one. Sadly it didn't convert my high hopes. I was hoping for something jaw dropping but this is just a fun silly one shot without any layer of story. That is all it is, just fun brawling emptiness. And you know what, sometimes that is just all you need.
ROUND THREE: VS. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN!
Fresh from the original SECRET WARS, PETER PARKER A.K.A. THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN returns to Earth with a spiffy new (alien) costume without a care in the world except for a complicated love triangle with MJ and Black Cat...and unbelievable pressure at the Daily Bugle... rent... bills... super-villain...
If you watched or played cyberpunk 2077, you're going to love this.
These series are fun, full of action and pretty crazy! Simply a must
MaxTac, one of the deadliest and most controversial forces in Night City, is deployed against a corpo netrunner turned cyberpsycho. The squad's mission: eliminate the target and save lives, but the scene is unlike anything they've encountered! With the building on lockdown, the psycho has the facilities and its occupants wired for destruction!
Finally got my hands on it and it didn't disappoint. What a great and magical first read, full of nostalgia. This series takes you back 15 years, but things have changed. Changed like, everyone grew up or old but not Peter. Its a really interesting take, just like marvel does with Daredevil, Avengers: Twilight,...

I love to be surprised at NCBD and this one got me!
There has been a lot of predator mini series lately but none of them felt like the real deal. This one does and I'm predicting this one is here to stay. In 10 years from now, new predators comic fans will find their way to this predator series and love it as we do.
TARGET: SPIDER-MAN IN PREDATOR'S GRITTIEST SERIES YET!
In Predator vs. Wolverine, we saw a single Predator stalk Earth's greatest prey, the killing machine Wolverine. In Predator vs. Black Panther, Yautja invaded Wakanda and nearly dethroned its king. Now Ben Percy turns his twisted brain to Marvel's most beloved property: Spider-Man!

Plot
The comic begins during an extremely hot summer in New York City, where NYPD Detective Lapearl comes across the skinless corpses of several homeless people, all missing a body part as a sort of trophy. Peter Parker, disguised as a coroner, takes photos of the corpses to sell to JJ Jameson. In this version, Peter Parker is desperate for money and has weak morals.

I couldn't connect with this issue at all. While it's visually stunning and showcases innovative storytelling, I found myself confused as a reader and unable to fully grasp the story. I really gave it a try, but it fell short of what I had hoped for after a great first issue.
Slaughterhouse 9-5! What stalks the blood-soaked kill floor? A dizzying, heartbreaking, hallucinogenic trip through the endless slaughterhouse! Witness a man’s life cut up, ground down, and packaged for easy consumption!

This is how its done, delivering on every possible aspect of a must read comic issue/series.
Absolute WW is on a role and I just want more!

Diana has escaped The Underworld once before; can she do it again? It’s a momentDiana and Circe have always known would come, but when the time actuallyarrives…the price may be higher than one of them is willing to pay! Plus, part two of“Li’l Diana,” with art by the legendary Dustin Nguyen!
Pheeww this was a strange issue and I wasn't prepared for it. Page after page I was wondering what tf is going on, but not specifically in a good way.
Good art is always nice, but good art with a weak story... doesn't fix it.
I really hoped to be on the ASM train again, but no.
RHINO RAMPAGE!
• What amped Rhino up from criminal super-bruiser to rampaging disaster machine? We aren't spilling, but it just amped up Spider-Man!
• That's right, Spider-Man is going in and out of control of his senses trying to figure out how to get full control of his body.
• And the only people who can help are ...
As a fan of the first issue, I get why this doesn't shine as we would've hoped it would. It doesn't spark, the story isn't mind blowing, the art is just solid... but we're not on the edge of our seat, holding our breath while reaching the end of the issue, need a minute to think it over after its done, craving for more... We wanted this, but they didn't deliver that.
Let me be clear its more

I like when the second issue is better than the first one. Great read so far, although not ground-breaking (yet).
Wally West is on the run from his dad and the rest of Fort Fox, and while his new-found abilities are terrifying him, he needs to find a way to use them to make hisescape. But how will he handle the elite group his father sent to bring him back?
Another fantastic issue of TMNT featuring the stunning artwork of Juan Ferreyra – an artist I will definitely continue to follow in the future. Simply amazing!
The story is well-built and deeply captures the strained relationships between the brothers, making them truly relatable and tangible.
If you’re a comic fan, this is a must-read!
Donnie's on the edge! Once the most reliable and risk averse of the TMNT, Donatello's mind is spinning out of control following his violent stay in captivity. Fortunately his brothers are there to protect him from the army of Foot Clan ninjas bent on destroying them all, but how can the Ninja Turtles save Donatello from the "voice" of their dead ma...
Old hero tales are hot and they're good. I would even say fantastic!
The art style is reminds me of Frank Miller but it doesn't bother me as the story is amazing, just like the pace of it. You won't regret reading this series, a banger from start to finish.
HELL GONE COLD!
After a horrific series of events, the world is in shambles. Matt Murdock is old, and his powers have faded to nothing. Matt will not, however, sit by and watch his fellow New Yorkers suffer, so instead of swinging around the city from his billy club line, he slings soup at a food center for the poor. But when a mysterious ...
Its just ok, I guess. Nothing really pops out art wise nor it tells an exciting story. As a GL reader I imagen you're bias, but as a first reader... this is nothing special... at all...
Compared to what the other absolute series achieved in their first issue, this is the weakest start of them all. I'll stick around and I hope it will only goes up from here on.
AL EWING AND JAHNOY LINDSAY GET COSMIC IN THE ABSOLUTE UNIVERSE! Without the Corps...without the ring...without the willpower, what's left is the Absolute Green Lantern!
This is a brilliant first issue. Although the start gets of a bit slow but you'll get in pretty quickly and its very captivating.
I can't wait for the next issue
Mini-Series Premiere. The explosive double-sized first issue! After her mad-scientist father is killed by the world's greatest spy, 13-year-old Annalise is left all alone in the world. Sort of. Her dead dad's robot bodyguard is following her around for some reason. Now Annalise has a choice: try to lead a normal life for the first time ever....
At first glance, I was blown away by Scott Williams' colouring, wow, it’s just insanely good. And Jim Lee's artwork? As good as it gets. Sure, some might argue his best days are behind him, but honestly, it looks fantastic to me. Did you see how Talia is portrayed? Stunning.
As the story unfolds, I found myself completely drawn in by the panels and the narrative. It really pulls you i more
THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE SMASH-HIT STORYLINE! Jeph Loeb! Jim Lee! An all-new epic saga begins here. Hush returns!
The moment you find yourself applauding after finishing an issue... that's when you know it's a solid 10. Everything about it is top-notch, and the thought of waiting another month is unbearable.
While we have a new artist on board for this issue, after just a few pages, the transition felt as smooth as a fine single malt whisky."
THE SHOCKING ORIGIN OF DIANA'S DEADLY WEAPONS! Diana defied the will of the gods in leaving Hell, and Hades, lord of the underworld, takes that personally...but when he interrogates her, her tales surprise him. Will it change her fate?

First of all, I haven’t read the entire first volume, so there are a few spoilers in this issue. However, don’t let that stop you from picking up this read. This is exactly why you read comics—this is the high standard of writing and artwork that makes it worth your time and money. Once again, an absolute masterclass by David Walker, Chuck Brown, and Sanford Greene!

When I spotted Patrick Horvath’s name in the pre-order list, I was instantly reminded of Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees. I regretted missing out on that gem, and I wasn’t about to let the same happen with Free For All.
