"Weird but enjoyable" is exactly what you'd hope for a Doom Patrol comic to be. Can't wait to read this!

This is one of the best superman issues I've ever read...

This is a difficult review as I've been reading Superman for longer than any other comic in existence. I seriously get annoyed at all the re-inventing of the same old carnage every year or so but I also understand, let's say we all as readers get jaded.
Today I read my hero and as much as I wanted to hate it....... something strange happened to this old man.
I fell in love with Superman

This was an astonishingly phenomenal read and easy to enjoy. The story is top notch, familiar yet different when it comes to its street level setting. It's just excellent on so many levels. I must say that the coloring really complements the pencils and inks as the intense colors help the art shine. This guest artist truly did some amazing work! Excelsior!!
Daredevil #6
OF MOLES AND OWLS STARTS HERE! The dust may be settling after Daredevil's climactic collision with Omen, but they don't call New York the "City That Never Sleeps" for nothing! Just when he could use a break, DAREDEVIL is going to find himself caught in the crossfire as New York's criminal element threaten to tear each other and the entire city apar...
One of the best pairings in comics return.
Pure magic.
Crowbound #1
SERIES PREMIERE
All is dark.
But all is not lost...
Rose isn't special. She works in the Factory just like everyone else—a dark, sprawling monolithic structure that runs along the coast and cuts the world in two. All that's left now are desolate settlements that exist in its shadow, made up of submerged villag...
A pretty strong start to this book. A lot of stuff here that I really enjoyed, and I do think it has the potential to be even better than this one issue was. The story's nothing all that complicated whatsoever, but Lemire & Nguyen make it work very well. Nguyen's artwork fits right in with the world we're introduced to here, and I thought Lemire established a really good tone for it. Very much loo more

Just stunning. My favorite book of the week. Beautiful retro artwork and an engaging script. I’ll be back for the full run.

The script is clunky and the artwork is not up to par with Ramos’ past work.

Doom Patrol #1
The Doom Patrol is broke. Adopting a heroes-for-hire business model to stave off financial and emotional ruin, the team finds itself responding to a simple case—a missing cat. But when this case proves to be far from simple, the world’s strangest heroes find themselves pulled into a truly out-of-this-world situation! And elsewhere, beyond the view ...
This issue reads so much better if you read #1-3 in one sitting. The fast pace gets broken up to much if you wait a while between issues. It also helps if you catch up on Zdarsky’s Cap run to learn about Coulton, a major player in this series. The artwork and writing are quite enjoyable.

Book of the week! This has it all: great artwork, great script, actually funny, and brief appearances by characters from across the DCU. Too bad this was just a one-shot.

Although I did enjoy it, I can’t see myself buying 24 comics to get the full story.

Very good! Steve Epting’s art is the highlight.
