It's better than before but still a bit messy. I'm finally starting to become interested in this story and it gets concluded in the next issue, which feels sad. But consideringthe situation, I get why.

It's a very interesting issue. After two issues of Eddie's journey, we are back with Dylan dealing with Osborns. I enjoyed what there was, but it felt a bit odd to place it here.

I do miss Ram V's writing for Dylan. I liked his voice for Dylan more than I do Ewing's.

Strong but kind of all over the place at times. I get the cut ins with all the other groups but some of it just felt like filler. Also having two brand new super villains to contend with in one book is a lot. It's just a dense issue that could afford to be stretched a little more.

It's a very lackluster story where all the beats are recycled from the time gap where the hero can't save the heroine and grew apart and blah blah and then add a very mediocre villain acting like a 50s idea of what a cliched bad guy would be. There is nothing here that inspires or infuses a hint of suspense of hope in building proper characters. A year wasted on the dumbest premise. Zeb Wells and more

Since when was issue #25 of any series a "Landmark issue?" Soon Marvel will be celebrating issue #5.

It isn't terrible but it isn't very good either. A very average 5 out of 10 and that's mostly for the art. Nothing much happens in this hyped-up and oversized issue. We learn where the kids came from. And that's about all. Disappointing.

I enjoyed the art, especially Kaare An more

Grey I didn't know you reviewed here too. :) But this issue is just painful to read the art is great but the story is just garbage. I understand the deconstruction of a hero but this seems like total demolition. It make me dread the next issue.

Wakizashi Gray - May 14, 2023

@banditobane Yes, I drop a couple of reviews when I have time. The only problem with this site is the users who have multiple accounts just to review bomb certain writers. They never write any reviews, just throw out 1s or 10s for writers they seem to either love or hate.

This could have been an OK issue if I cared even a little bit about Paul and Rabin, but they're both really just ciphers to make the plot go where it needs to, and the plot isn't interesting or meaningful enough to bear the weight alone. It's not a bad explanation of where MJ's new family came from, but it's not a terribly involving one either

I must admit, I don't see the hate for this issue. Another "passable" one, that you can read. I didn't really feel anything for this issue. This 6-part storyline has felt very messy, oddly paced, but I hoped it would get better. Now it's just... meh.

Feels like many members of the Outrage Brigade says "ignore this this trash and don't buy it or read it, let it be forgotten! Vote with your wallets!" every time a new issue is released and I just wonder are they trolling or that tense. But maybe I'm just a dumb-dumb who sometimes enjoys this "trash". Who knows.

It's totally fine to be disappointed with this series, it has problems, but to just say that's it's the worst thing ever just feels wrong to me.

MacKay's Black Cat is always a joy, although this series has struggled with the fact that "Felicia can't work up the courage to tell MJ she's dating her ex" never really carried weight as the central drama of the mini. It was hard to get invested in that because I couldn't bring myself to expect that MJ (who has herself long since moved on) would actually be mad about it. Still, Felicia & MJ fight more
