gusresm reviewed Superman #23 Mar 5, 2025
There is a line in a single panel of this issue that perfectly encapsulates Superman: Lois says that she was devastated when Superman died not only because she lost him but because he died doing what he hated the most: killing! That shows that the creative team gets Superman better than most. Dan mora shines as usual.

gusresm reviewed Aquaman #2 Feb 19, 2025
Solid issue. Timms is excellent: the colorful art is very dynamic and stylish. The script is good but I’m think Adams has to tie everything together soon. I think the series will suffer if he drags the whole darkseid mystery.

gusresm reviewed Absolute Batman #5 Feb 19, 2025
AB is my least favorite absolute comic so far. Even so, Dragotta’s art alone would be enough to justify the purchase. Snyder’s script is intriguing but I not sold on black mask. Absolute Alfred is good but I don’t love his dynamic with AB. That being said, I am nitpicking, the comic is excellent and highly recommended

This Batman run is the best we've had since Scott was writing the main series.
Longterm, I'd love this Batman to visit the mainline Batman.
Their difference in method and morality would make for an interesting quandary to explore.
How do we take out the bad guys? With intellect or force? They are both Batman. Which Batman philosophy saves most lives?

gusresm reviewed Absolute Superman #4 Feb 5, 2025
I still think that Absolute Superman is the best of the bunch. The new issue is engaging. I like the approach Superman-book-with-little-superman-on-it for now. The art is still excellent.

The best of the first batch of absolute comics. The new take on krypton is fresh and intriguing. The art is superb. I can’t wait to learn more about the sol armor and the lazarous corps.

gusresm reviewed Detective Comics #1090 Oct 25, 2024
Excellent first issue. The new villain sounds intriguing. The pacing is excellent. There isn't a lot I can say about the art because Janin is a master, and everybody already knows it. I am not sold on the plot twist... but I have confidence Taylor will stick the landing
