Great story and wonderful art. I didn't have very high expectations considering the writer is.... Andy Kubert? Who knew that guy could write? I'm a little confused by the other low reviews...

Best issue of the series so far!

Writing is bloated, dialogue boxes are uninteresting and too wordy for their message, a dead character (whose death was perfectly executed) returns a mere 10 issues later.... moments that are supposed to be emotional come across with a complete lack of emotion. The story is uninteresting. This series is probably the biggest disappointment of Marvel Now for me. I don't know what happened but Rick Remender has lost the brilliant touch that he had with Uncanny X-Force. I just don't care about anything that is going on in this book. more

This issue was on its way to a 9.0...until about 2/3 of the way through and the inescapable "artist switch" reared its ugly freakin head. Really, DC? An artist switch in the very first issue of a series? It's inexcusable, and put a serious damper on an otherwise well-written comic.

I can't help but wonder how this book would have been received if Marvel hadnt blown the Angela cameo spoiler months prior. Instead, everyone has been jumping on the "we already knew that" bandwagon and quickly find more reasons to bash the book (Bendis bashing is IN now, haven't you heard?). The end does have major ramifications that we haven't seen yet on the marvel universe, and I suspect those will play out in time. All in all, this was a well written, fun series. Not outstanding, but readily enjoyable! more

Art couldn't be more bland and Batman couldn't be more out of character than we see him here (batman wouldn't call a crook an "idiot"). This title has lost some of its flair since Damien died, and despite myself being a staunch Tomasi fan, I've gotta admit that this is indubitably his worst issue of the title to date, and that gets a :(

Spankingly awesome. Even without Williams on art, this title remains one of the New 52's most consistently solid titles.

I was not a fan of this book. Van Jensen had a tough time of it, coming in after a brilliant run by Peter Tomasi. But this issue just feels so "bleh." It felt like he tried too hard to drive home several points throughout the issue, especially John & Fatality's love issues. I'll stick around for awhile, but I'm not impressed thus far.

Great issue. Best non-Morrison Superman issue of the New 52!!!!

This team can do no wrong.

This series continues to be fun. This issue continues on with the story from the Tec #0 issue featuring a love from Bruce's past, which leads into a very good little yarn involving her resurrection as a bat-foe. This title holds itself again as the cohesive bat-book that pulls in threads from the various titles. Normally, a chore like that pulls down the book's quality, but Layman does a great job of integrating various bat-threads into an interesting and fun issue. Fabok takes a well-deserved break this issue, and Eaton comes into fill in for art-duties and does a great job. If you like Batman, I highly recommend this series. It began with a shaky start but has gotten continually better with every issue. more

Fantastic.

I've loved every issue of this series. No denying: I only read this title initially because of JH Williams on art, but I quickly found that Blackman, as this title went on, has crafted himself into an exceptional writer. However, McCarthy's art, which is usually wonderful, looked like straight up vomit in this issue. It was a tough pill to swallow. There were a few scenes that had zero emotion, and the panel where Batwoman flips a table over was probably the single worst panel I saw this week. Hopefully a month off with Francavilla on art (whoopee!) will give McCarthy some room to breathe and return to his former quality of work. Otherwise this was a great issue. more

While the series has seen it's highs and lows, the recent art of Aaron Kuder followed by Guinaldo has elevated this title to a higher tier. I will say that the ending for Kyle is about as perfect an idea as could be had for him. It's a pretty good issue.

Peter is finally gone - and though I loved the book before this issue, #10 has brought the series to a new level. If Daredevil hadn't dished out one of the best comics in the past few years this week, this issue would be my issue of the week. But seriously: Slott is on a tear with this book. It's fun. It's quippy. It's smart, action-packed, wonderfully written, and it has several moments involving MJ that tug at the heart-strings. I can't say enough about this title: read it. more

All I can say is wow. Nightwing is back! The book is fun, smart, and action-packed. All I could think about after I put it down was, "This is a fun comic book." Brett Booth's art drew me back to this book, and I sure hope he's around for a long time because his work is gorgeous. There's a synergy to the title now that was previously lacking. But the writer and artist have found it, and it practically bleeds off the pages. This is a title that anyone can read, and issue 19 is a great place for new readers, opening up a new starting point but obviously paying homage to past events. more

This is probably the best GI Joe title I've read in the last 5 years. The story is a slow build, but it's wonderful nonetheless, and Gulacy's art is brilliant. I highly recommend, even for non GI Joe fans.

This series is a slow burn, but a great and wonderful read. Plots are slow-moving, but having just read the entire 3 issues of the series so far in one go, I can tell that there are big plans ahead for the Joes. Not to mention, Paul Gulacy's art is fantastic.

Great issue.

One thing can for sure be said about this title: Fabok's art is beautiful. I dare even say that it's on part with Capullo & Williams III for the best among current bat-titles. Amidst the insane level of high quality Bat-titles currently on the stands, this one tends to get lost in the background. But Detective Comics, with it's one-writer-one-artist team (Layman & Fabok), is pretty good right now. The story is never mind-blowing, but it's always consistently solid and fun. I do appreciate the short-handedness to the writing, although Layman could use a little work on issue plot resolution at times. Negatively, the title does serve as sort of an anchor for the other bat-books, with constant references to other Bat-goings-on, which can get annoying at times. more

Things are amping up in this title. After an abysmal entry of issues 1-4, the series has been churning along on all cylinders since issue #5. Remender is slowly building this up to be a potentially worthy sequel to Uncanny X-Force.

The best word to describe this series so far is "fun." It's not the deepest or most epic book on the shelves, and it does have it's pitfalls (weird transitions between panels), but overall it's an enjoyable book. Some funny moments too.

HOLY $)(#&% this book has a new writer, a new feel, and some seriously disturbing tones. Best issue of the week. I'm happy to see this book take a new direction.

Justin Jordan definitely gives the book a bump, but four artists (YES, FOUR) makes this a tough pill to swallow.

so good. Chameleon is portrayed in this issue as a creepy-as-hell psychopath. SPOILER: and he cuts off a guard's face to wear it to escape the helicarrier. My god, Yost is doing such a fantastic job on this title. Peter-Ock's characterization is perfectly on par, reflected in his thought, "I'd better make a crack now" (an attempt to put up the facade of how Peter would act to keep people from being suspicious of him). Peter-Ock is very smart, and it shows in this issue. He single-handedly outwits helicarrier security and SHIELD, gloating about it throughout the issue. Yet he also feels remorse due to the death of SHIELD personnel due to his interference. Also, the Hawkeye comments were hilarious: "Dimmest bulb in the world." HA! Wonderful work. more

What a fun issue! Hickman takes a break from the over-story to give us a down-to-the-beat espionage tale with clever plot and oftentimes hilarious situations, including a scene where AIM agents and a few Avengers call truce for the night and party like it's 1999. Shang Chi kicks ass in some beautifully orchestrated scenes with touching inner dialogue from Chi via Hickman. And Black Widow is aptly portrayed here as a killer at heart, a vision that not many writers of late have sunk their brain-teeth into. Great issue. more

I really don't see where the distaste for this series is coming from. I've found both issues to be excellent. Art and writing are top-notch, and young Thanos is presented as a driven yet conflicted character with evil inside of him. I've noticed over the years that fans tend to dislike/poorly grade comics by Simone Bianchi (artist). I think his art is outstanding. It drives home the tone of the series perfectly. more

Awesome.

AOU has been one of the best events in recent memory, and these tie-ins have been helping to establish that fact. Butch Guice delivers great art to drive home Black Widow's story of how she came to be in the SHIELD bunker in which we find her in the main series...and how she loses her eye.

Great issue.

Best one-shot so far of Age of Ultron.

This is a perfect comic.
