4.0

This storyline was a waste of time and resources. I barely cared about any of the characters or their motivations. Poorly plotted, very little character development of any depth, no action except for a weak page or two of a very lame fight with paper-thin villains. John Ridley shouldn’t be writing Superman stories. Such a comedown after Waid’s epic.

Action Comics #1084

By: John Ridley, Inaki Miranda
Released: Mar 12, 2025

YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! Superman is on the verge of discovering who's been luring reformed villains back to a life of crime, but the question remains--why? When he tries to convince Scorch to help him, they're ambushed by a mysterious organization that holds the answers he's searching for. Is Superman ready to face the truth?

Why the hell is this site still including reviews by Gabe Hernandez?

The guy literally gives EVERY single comic a low score. He single handidly is bringing down the averages of several great series on this site. His reviews read like rage bait in order to drive up hits on his page.

The guy is a hack, and this site loses credibility by including his reviews.

just ignore them! There are plenty of sites and reviewers that never go below an 8 (which has more to do with keeping review copies than being honest), so go and read those. I gave up doing written reviews because of stuff like this - i prefer reviewing comics on podcasts with multiple people to get more of a varied discussion (kind of like what you said earlier). BTW, I do find positive reviews are rarely called out for lack of substance just because they are positive. (2/2)

I'm new here and have no problem with a neg review as long as it's explained. The same should be true in reverse. I see a lot of 10 reviews without a single word to explain why. I'm not going to but I really would want to blindly rate 1's just to counter them.

I've been loving this mini.

King hits all the right notes with this mother/daughter relationship (which has rarely been explored in the past). We still don't know exactly "why" Dinah is even in this fight and that last page clue doesn't help matters.

I haven't watched a 'fight' since the Ali days so I give a pass to the announcers dialogue which sounds stilted to me but coul more

Black Canary: Best of the Best #5

By: Tom King, Ryan Sook
Released: Mar 26, 2025

THE BATTLE MAY BE LOST IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE! A deal with an immortal devil could be the answer to everyone's troubles. Or is Vandal Savage more trouble than he's worth? Meanwhile, Shiva and Canary fight to a standstill--could the only end to this battle be death?

This could've been so much better. I didn't buy Ben feeling so inadequate right away, I haven't a clue how going to the Puppet Master was going to restore his powers, and Alicia has gone from being a blind, sensitive artist to just another indistinguishable happy-go-lucky cipher. In the early days Alicia could feel The Thing's rock hard exterior and sense his gentleness (and inner strength). This more

North completely missed who the Thing/Ben Grimm is.

The Marvel character with the greatest will power of them all (even Cap) is reduced to a babbling cry baby.

He loses his power and instead of dealing with it or using multiple ways of becoming the Thing again, either by rocket, exo-skeleton, etc., he'd rather alter his mind into being a simp (that somehow only Alicia dete more

thank you! so many people here falling for the surface level BS that Ryan North wrote without ever seeming to understand Ben himself! He would do anything to not let the FF down but instead he mopes around.
