Outstanding issue from Jason Aaron. His story just got immensely intriguing by all of the insane twists and reveals. That JLA nod was great especially with Agent. Marquez and McGuiness were perfect. Plus Irving, Kubert and Sorrentino delivered even more set up/future stories. This is the best $6 i spent in a long while.

Great issue. Better than the last. Picked up those threads and ran with them. I like Spencer's stuff so far. He's handling those angles very well. Ramos and Bandini delivered the goods and fit well together.

I liked the character writing for the Black Order’s leaderand this sort of violent gonzo sci-if tale is what Tan excels in drawing but overall it went by a little too fast Tim feel like anythiñ othe than an appetizer. I’ll probably stick around for the series though because there’s something I like about this sort of cosmically tale and it reads better than Infinity Wars and Avengers: No Surrender. more

This was a perfect modern superhero comic. Wonderful art, action, intrigue, great character writing, tons of set-up, decent payoff. If every book were this good I’d go broke from buying them all. Literally no complaints here. I want to reread it tomorrow, and the day after.

Top tier superhero title. The stories move in interesting and unexpected directions while keeping the characters true to themselves and the villain's plans are interesting. The art was really nice too, more like this please.

Great start to the new Uncanny. Great art and story, my only complaint is that the backups aren’t quite as engaging as the main story, though the Bisohop story kicks ass.

A nice intro to a new storyline that seems to have appeal but I just don’t have the nostalgia for these characters needed for this to fully land. If you do hold BSG Classic near and dear you’re in for a treat, otherwise you, like me, probably won’t be along for the ride. Still appreciate the free digital zero issue as I’d never have tried it out otherwise,

Claremont knows Magneto inside and out and he writes a surprisingly modern script that made me happy inside and out. The art is a little lackluster but the backup strip is awesome so the half point lost for art is made back up there. I would buy the hell out of a Claremont Magneto mini.

Thought this was a great Cyberpunk Elseworlds reimagining of X-Men. There seemed to be more backstory than they could fit in a single issue so I wouldn’t be sad to see this spun into a miniseries. Also, both artists had radically different style, but they integrated wonderfully.

Exciting, action-packed and still room for decent character work. Pretty great mini so far.

The amount of story in this issue amounted to the pre-credits scene in a TV show. What's there is fine and the art is great, but rarely has the phrase "written for the trade" felt more true.

Good setup, but very decompressed.

This is one hell of an Avengers comic! The characters all feel in character, the action is huge, the set-up for the last part is just cool as anything and Ghist Rider is the surprise break out character here! Aaron gets how to write this sort of big stuff and I really hope he keeps up the quality and stays on the book for ages.

This was probably my favorite issue yet. Lots of big ideas on the creation of supers in the MU, but with good character moments and solid action. Also noticed that despite a number of splash pages, this one didn’t read in five minutes - it felt meaty. Enjoying this run a lot so far!

Very dark take on the Hulk, this reads like an intelligent horror comic and nothing at all like Pak’s Totally Awesome run (which I also enjoyed, but for very different reasons). The art and writing compliment each other well, really hope we get quite a few issues like this before the next dramatic tonal shift.

Snyder is one of my all time favs. New 52 Batman is near perfect. So far Justice League is pretty good but I feel like I dont really have that emotional connection to it yet. For some reason with most Justice League series it's all action action action and I feel no connection with the characters. Maybe that's why I liked Snyders Batman and the new Bendis Superman so much, it delves deeper into the character and gives them depth. I dont know, maybe I'm just not a big Justice League fan in general for that reason. But aside from that the story and the story telling is good so I'm sticking with this more

I'm going to start by saying that I want Jorge Jimenez to draw as many books as it is humanly possible. He is amazing at his craft. Each character looks unique and different and the action looks just grand. Just one little thing. Please make Martian Manhunter a little more beefed up. When he looks all slender and slick it's just wrong.

As for the story it's good, but not great. It gets a bit convoluted at times. It feels like Snyder is trying to put too much story, too much plot points into a single issue and not even one of these points gets explored enough. Same goes for characterizations of some characters, heroes mostly. Sometimes they seem spot on and sometimes the exact opposite. Kendra and Barry seemed really odd in this issue. But my biggest issue is with Luthor. In issue 1 he was calm and collected, he looked like a guy with a plan. In this issue I was just waiting for him to burst into maniacal laugh for no reason what so ever.
Fortunately it did not happen. more

I think this is going to be my time to just realize that Snyder isn't the writer for me. I really liked the Court of Owls storyline but ever since then he's never quite landed for me. This has pretty great art and an epic feel, but the characters don't act strangely, none of them seem to have three dimensions - just a bunch of cyphers. I was hoping for a big bold first issue to get me back into the DCU - instead I got something that didn't really feel any better than Hitch's run (in fact to me it actually felt pretty similar to Hitch - big cosmic level stuff with no human connection). more

Scott Snyder takes the reins over The Justice League and expands on the ideas put forth in Metal and No Justice.

The banter and comradery between members of the League feel really good. Snyder even pokes some fun at Batman for the dark and gloomy demeanour.
The story moves smoothly with Martian Manhunter kinda in a center, but it all changes somewhere halfway through. League defeats the threat, in a really bizarre way, after that they have a meeting to discuss some new possible threat that, again, is something old and ancient. Then Manhunter gets a really confusing and convoluted visoion and issue #1 ends. Leaving reader with a little feeling of "what the heck just happened". I'm guessing that things will get clearer with coming issues.

As for the art I must say that Jim Cheung Justice League looks gorgeous. Especially when we see all of them fighting on panels side by side. more

I loved this. This is simply Cap being Cap and it's all the better for it.

I'm in the minority but I quite enjoyed this issue. Kitty taking down Sythian (sp?) was inventive and made sense and I enjoy seeing villains dispatched by thinking rather than just punching. Only issue I have is that Guggenheim really keeps the secondary X-Men in the background and I'd be happier if they weren't around if he's not going to invest them with strong personalities.

Really intrigued by the Magneto pieces. Another great issue, I hope Rosenberg ends up with an X-book after this mini.

Everything I wanted this book to be and more. Great classic X-Men nods, fun team chemistry, gorgeous art, and tons of mystery. Another perfect issue worthy of Jean's return.

Very fun first issue, gets the characters perfectly and feels the right amount of old and the right amount of new. I'm onboard with those asking for Thompson to get an X title after this.
