Chip Zdarksy is their best (and his Cap is just so so).
After the events of Superman #30 and JLU #11, I'd expect this one-shot to be as spectacular.
It isn't.
Turns out it's just filler for K.O.
Still, it's got the Legion shining throughout (even if they're not 'my' Legion) and that ain't bad.
As said, there's not much story to this but it is well written with characters acting like themselves but I did grow more
A special oversize prologue to DC’s biggest event of the year. Everything since DC All In Special #1 has been building to this moment! Time Trapper is on the run from Darkseid’s Legion. Racing through time to learn how to stop Darkseid’s conquest, he witnesses how the future is already lost and the only hope of survival lies with the Justice ...
I love Darkseid and was shocked with awe during the battle - loving every panel especially how that battle ended - it felt great. And then the to quickly end the vampires the way they did was a thrill.
Not sure how many heroes are still alive but I'm in if Diana's last words mean there'll be a sequel.
The humans and vampires begin their epic counter attack on Darkseid and his invading forces. But in order to win the battle, the prophecy of Mister Miracle’s child must come true. How this half-human, half-vampire baby is meant to be humanity’s secret weapon is left to John Constantine to figure out. But with the tide of the war turning against...
Following the cataclysmic events of Crisis on Infinite Earths, the DC Universe isforever changed. Torches are passed as legacy heroes like Wally West embrace the mantles of their predecessors, heroes like Hal Jordan are tempted by darkness, and the Justice League faces formidable new threats such as Doomsday, Black Hand,and Superboy-Prime. Narrator...
So much happens and Waid make it flow smoothly. So looking forward to what happens next in JLU, KO, the upcoming specials.
Something strange is happening on Earth…and the Justice League is powerless to stop it! It began with a horrific volcanic eruption in the heart of the villain-stronghold nation of Zandia…and quickly spread to Count Vertigo’s neighboring kingdom of Vlatava. The parademons that the JLU faced before are only the tip ofthe iceberg—the entire pl...
This book is everything I love about comics. Dan Mora is a god! And Williamson's story has me on edge waiting impatiently for the next issue.
Superman has found the mysterious hero known as Booster Gold. Together, they must return to the present day to warn the Justice League, but Darkseid’s Legion stands in the way. The shocking events of thisissue lead into next month’s massive next chapter in the all in saga!
King is giving us a great story and Sampere is probably DC's best artist after Mora. I'm loving this run!
After days of searching through a mouse-infested world, Wonder Woman finally locates the lost Etta Candy and fugitive Amazon Emilie. Little does she know, theyare hiding a tiny harbinger of death who will change Diana’s fate forever! You won’twant to miss the first appearance of the Matriarch in this oversize anniversary issuethat will set the ...
Decent enough story and art.
BEN GRIMM VS. WILSON FISK! To save the life of one innocent, can the Thing take down the Kingpin and his top enforcers? Can you even clobber the man who owns New York City?!
Just horrible - it's not even good cheesecake material.
FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD…BLACK CAT?! FELICIA HARDY is a changed woman. She's STOPPING robberies instead of planning them. But all her super heroing is leaving a trail of wronged super villains in her wake. Lizard. Sandman. Tombstone. The list's getting longer by the day. And it's only a matter of time before those nine lives of hers run out…
While the Battleworld plot has been done too many times, at least this (so far) feels like a proper battle royale in the making - kind of.
The chpoice for the time displaced heroes is interesting if for no other reason that it does not include a Wolverine! AND it includes a proper Hank Pym! Gage used him very well in Avengers Academy and I'm glad that he's taking the character on beca more
THE BATTLEWORLD FROM SECRET WARS RETURNS! "SLAY YOUR ENEMIES, PROVE YOUR WORTH AND ALL YOU DESIRE SHALL BE YOURS IN THE WORLD TO COME!" Heroes from across the Multiverse are thrown together on a patchwork world to engage in their own Secret Wars for the survival of their timelines! Who or what has created this Battleworld, and for what nefarious pu...
This series seems likes it's forcing yet another 'movie-verse' twist into the comic-verse by establishing a female Silver Surfer.
I do hope I'm wrong about this. I'm not one of those idiots who screamed foul when Julie Garner was cast for the movie - but I do have a problem when they force movie stuff into the books.
Science lesson - rocks are minerals. Ben Grimm is not mad more
SURFER'S FINAL SACRIFICE?! Earth stands on the brink of annihilation and the Silver Surfer's time is almost up. What will Norrin Rad's legacy be? The better question is…"Who?"
The previous issue was pretty good but this one tanked that feeling. IOf Godzilla is so uber powerful as he has shown in this series then there there should more damage that Wolverine getting his clothes wet.
WELCOME TO GODZILLA'S WORLD, X-MEN! HOPE YOU SURVIVE THE EXPERIENCE... As Godzilla's wave of desolation arrives on the shores of Madripoor, the X-Men join the fight for the planet's survival! As they struggle to hold the line against the King of the Monsters, Professor Xavier fights his own mental battle as he attempts to penetrate and pacify the m...
The pacing of this book is sssssllllloooooowwwwwww. It's obviously trying to fill things up for a trade book.
But that's forgiven because Power Girl continues to be the Power Girl she was before that dreadful version Leah Williams where she turned Karen into paige.
The art is really good too.
Red Tornado conscripts Cyborg, but after his first mission, Vic, Green Lantern, and Power Girl aren’t ready to team up unless it’s to shut Reddy down. But RT can’t let anyone step out of line—to stop the future his analyses predict, he’s willing toleverage the one bargaining chip heroes can’t ignore.
Well, this was better than the first two issues, which isn’t much of an accomplishment. There were a few fun moments that actually felt like an FF comic. Plus, I found myself enjoying Ramos’s artwork in some of the action scenes. It fails miserably whenever faces are involved though. All in all, I still think Ryan North is not good for this - or any - book. But that’s the problem with all ofmore
ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM! Doom's secret - and how he's been able to win so much, so often - has been revealed. But how do you best the no-win scenario? The Fantastic Four have an idea - but it'll take them to the frozen depths of Antarctica, deep into Doom's secret lair, where they'll face their greatest challenge yet. It's Doom vs. the Fantastic Four ...
1) I've never been a Deadpool and nothing changed my opinion on him in this story.
2) Diana & Cap - Great story & Great art!
3) No idea who that shark is, so while it was a cute story, it fell flat. Couldn't they have used Lockheed instead?
4) Smith tries to be cute, and fails.
5) WTF?
6) Amalgam is back? Interesting. But if you're going to do an Amalgam, why make a char more
The crossover you’ve pined for but never thought possible: DEADPOOL and BATMAN cross swords and batarangs as MARVEL and DC unite for the first time in decades!
WADE WILSON has been hired for a job in GOTHAM CITY, but will the WORLD’S GREATEST DETECTIVE help him or destroy him? The main story starring Deadpool and Batman will be wri...
Jeff the Landshark is a way bigger character than Lockheed right now
Continuing from last issue's "The Vat of Acid" plot, Vic continues to use save points to beat the odds. A clever strategy for Vic Sanchez - er, I mean Vic Von Doom.
The time sled is surveyed and depite it being covered in flames, Sue and Alicia are both able to touch it without a singe. Turns out Sue was able to write a book in braille in the fraction of a second she had last issue to more

I want Chip to do well with Cap, but I'm not feeling it... yet. There's potential here, but playing with 'untold stories' and multiple Caps isn't doing him any favors.
And on the matter of 'retcons', I remember how in Avengers #20, Cap didn't even remember who the ruler of Latveria was.
Like I said, the story stioll has potential - but the art and editing are a different mat more
ORIGIN OF DOOM! A meeting with Doctor Doom in Latveria forces Steve to confront the realities of the harsh new world he's awoken in. Meanwhile, Dave Colton and the Howling Commandos infiltrate Doom's fortress to rescue hostages, but instead they uncover a sinister truth behind Doom's rise to power…
Nova fights a mental Starro and then spends the entire issue figuring out that, because of ZERO evidence, it MUST be the Inhumans that are behind everything.
Pretty smart of him and the Worldmind to come up with that...
or they could have just waited a couple minutes for the Inhumans to announce themselves at the end of the issue.
So basically, nothing really hap more
FROM THE PAGES OF IMPERIAL! The Xandarian Worldmind will be lost forever…unless Rich Rider can earn the credits needed to keep it alive! So Nova must offer his services to the highest bidder - Have Helmet, Will Travel!
So good. All Dogs Go to Heaven meets Lord of the Flies, this issue. Don Bluth would be proud.
NEW STORY ARCLord has been found guilty of crimes against Pet City, and the punishment is DEATH! Only Elsie and Gigi can save him, but they’re too busy at each other’s throats! It's a full-on CAT FIGHT at the strip mall, and not everyone will make it out alive.
The best Ghost Machine title is again a fantastic read.
Never thought I'd want to google Dolly Madison to learn more about her LOL
A special prelude to the upcoming series FIRST GHOST! The year is 1814. Washington D.C. is under siege by the British army, and the White House is engulfed in flames. Amid the chaos of war, immortal British soldier Simon Pure witnesses history burning before his eyes—and comes face to face with the man responsible for lighting the match. But when...
Best book being published today!

Fun.
That's a word that's been missing from comics for a long time. Mark Waid is one of the few (but growing number at DC) who knows what that word means - and it has shown in his work since his return to DC.
He's not Superman - he's still just Clark in a costume and it's... fun!
Here's hoping when Mark finishes this run that there are three teens from the future more
A long-forgotten hero from the past returns—but this is no team-up! As Superboyfights for his life against the original Man of Tomorrow, he discovers the real reasonsuperheroes have been gone for so long. Can Clark convince his enemy that hecomes in peace?
The Ward story was good, the rest are easily forgotten. I should have passed on this.
As turmoil seizes Asgard, Doctor Strange's life is about to change forever. But as he stands on the threshold of a true journey into mystery, it turns out the past isn't quite done with him yet… Fan-favorite creators reveal untold tales of Stephen Strange's past while current scribe Derek Landy reveals a glimpse of the future to come - as Marvel ...
This story is never ending. I never thought I'd want the Avengers to lose. They just so boring.
Really didn't the pages of them voting and annoucing thier skills. Might be good for new readers, but this story is 30 issues long so far, new readers probably aren't jumping on at this point.
The Avengers trust the X-Men that much? This is like giving a toaster to a full bath more
MARVEL ZOMBIES ATTACK IN THE RUINS OF SECRET WARS! The AVENGERS' hunt for the "Missing Moment" takes them to the last place anyone expected - the ruins of Hickman's SECRET WARS! Where Marvel Zombies await! And while Earth's Mightiest Heroes are away, someone needs to protect the world in their absence. Luckily, they know just the group of misunders...
The main story is ho-hum. None of the characters are very likeable and the art is kind of generic.
The second story, the art gets WAY better but the story is likewise ho-hum. I've seen Space-Spider-Man before and it rarely ever worked.
SPIDEY GOES COSMIC! A tale of two Spider-Men...One Spider-Man swings around New York City meting out justice in an unfriendly matter. Another Spider-Man is found in a distant solar system running with strange companions. One such companion? A stranger named SYMBIE making his FIRST APPEARANCE! The next major chapter in Spider-Man's life begins here!
I really liked the art. Silva did a good job.
The colors too are good (minus the lens flares).
The story however, Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
Valeria Richards takes 3 pages to say that “Uncle Doom” has given up on wanting glory and instead just wants power. 3 pages to say what Mom, Sue Richards, said the same thing earlier in the book in a two small panels. Did we readers more
Fallout continues from what was revealed last month, and Doom finds his grip on power loosening. But he's not going to give it up without a fight - on several fronts. Doom once sought glory, but that glory is now dead. All that is left is power and control as rebellions in several countries are quickly - and brutally - put down. As Doom prepares to...
Knowing Waid was coming back, my lcs put this in my stack. I didn't notice until I got home.
If I had caught it, I'd have left it behind. This book was a mess, no wonder Waid is coming back.
With Eclipso and the Rogues surging across the surface of the Moon, Eclipso shiftsthe Earth into further darkness and Jai West and the Flash find their dog, Foxy—butwill one of the temp Flashes destroy the Flash Family’s quest to turn the tide?
Summer of Superman is upping the stakes with this issue.
The Legion of Super-Heroes is MY team of all teams, so I was ready for something big - but I did not expect the long-ago promised War of the Legions to have happened.
And that's "happened" as in past tense. All we see are the repurcussions and some of what's left of 4 different Legion teams. While I'd had loved every one more
Superman and an impossible ally search the future for the lost Legion ofSuper-Heroes! What happened to it, and can it help in the battle againstDarkseid’s Absolute Legion?
While intergalactic war is happening elsewhere in the Imperial story-line, this issue focus's on a warrior world and She-Hulk baby sitting it while Space Hulk is away.
She stops the warriors from being, well, warriors, and then gets involved in a murder mystery that's over before it really begins.
It's a very quick read, but there's a light tone, almost comedic, to it that as more
SPINNING STRAIGHT OUT OF THE PAGES OF IMPERIAL! Left behind on New Sakaar to keep the peace, Jen Walters discovers that in this savage realm, what's needed isn't a litigator, it's a liquidator! Fortunately, She-Hulk is accomplished at being both!
The story so far... The space head honcho is assasinated. All fingers point to Space Wakanda, so most everyone goes to Space Wakanda to exact revenge.
Now... Space Black Panther runs away from Space Hulk and then tells all those everyones who were kicking Space Wakanda's ass that they need to surrender. And all but the Kree do.
Then Space Black Panther gets pissed off that more
