Another poor issue from Tom King. Please get him off this book!

This book is seriously awesome! Get it! Buy the floppy.

Fantastic first issue! We had the pleasure of getting advanced copies of the first 3 issues, and after 3 issues this series is a home run. Very solid writing and AMAZING art.

Be sure to pick up a copy this coming Wednesday. You won't be disappointed.

This is an outstanding introduction to Moon Knight's new villain, the character is both believable, but also horrifying and the book plays nicely on Egyptology, Moon Knight's history and various other areas of mythology & psychology. Burrows art offers a flat, haunting, feel which is just perfect for the feel of the book. A very exciting start to this series.

The issue was inspired from a good place, but quite frankly it was a little boring, and not very well executed. if you are interested in American history you'll probably already be familiar with the content - and as a non-American this issue was a little alienating. I think my biggest problem was that the small time spent at each scene - along with the amount of historical context they tried to fit in (all within dialogue) just made it painfully clunky. But it wasn't really thought-provoking, it was less like an interesting discussion and more like opening a primary school text-book. The relation with the veteran could have been interesting if it was fleshed out and the relation between them was expanded (maybe exploring his life further, storytelling with Jon present) - but instead it was just very flat, he appeared out of nowhere and was then just flushed out with an unrealistic positive-turn; he was only there for a few pages and it felt really rushed. If it keeps up at this standard, needless to say I'll be dropping Superman very very soon indeed. more

Just stop, Marvel. Please. This title is going to get cancelled in less than twelve issues.

How this comic get so many good reviews ?? as a reader i just want to say something !! Marvel stop with all sjw titles!! Awfull

“Holy menstruation” what a terrible comic. I would punch the writer in the face with my “brown fist”.

This book is absolutely dull with a massive plot hole in it. Sure the wit is there every now and then but the story manages to forget the abilities of its own character... HOW?

Gets a 2 point deduction from my actual score just for saying something is better than The Cure. (PS. Nothing is better than The Cure)

Gets a 0.5 point bonus for punching Hitler.



The dialogue goes from incredibly bad to outright cringe-y at times, with its only decent point being the art by Quinones.

I men, you got some gems like:

"What in the holy menstruation are you doing here?"

"Oh for Princess Leia's sake, not you too!"

"Chico, you look mad familiar..."



You also get a terrible author self-insertion, and the author decides to do away with a relationship in the worst possible manner, with America breaking up with her girlfriend because she wants to move away for college, which makes no sense since America's powers include teletransportation!



This comic is so bad, that the more I think about it, the worse it gets and the lower the score I end up giving it.



Surely it will find its fans, just like Mockingbird, Patsy Walker, Great Lake Avengers and other titles have found their fans, just wondering if it will find more fans than the titles I mentioned in order to have enough support and not be canceled 6-8 issues down the road. I mean, hey, maybe this time Marvel will find an audience that actually buys the comic! more

A dark, twisted and strangely lovable character: Karnak is at the end of it's six issue run and it was really a masterpiece, albeit very left-field from the typical kind of Marvel book. Gritty and visually stunning artwork captures the book very well, and Warren Ellis certainly knows how to write a character, although his style may not be to everyone's taste. This book was nihilistic, questioning and boundary pushing in many respects. Looking at the boundaries of what a hero is and how far you are prepared to go for what you believe (or against what you don't). For anyone who wants a weird, dark, but contained and thoroughly unique Marvel comic I'd look no further than this: the 'Flaw in all Things.'This book has had a lot of trouble with timing delays etc., but if you haven't picked up any of the issues yet it should read nicely and problem-free in trade format. more

Superman is still one of DC's strongest post-Rebirth titles, but really this (short) arc was mediocre at best and there's no need to gloss over that for the benefit of the doubt in the series' overall success. I've still got faith in the creative team, but this arc really seemed a bit unnecessary and out of place with the general thematic aims of this post-Rebirth Superman run. Hopefully with this short respite out of the way we can get back to the kind of quality we saw in the first story arc as the next arc gets underway. more

This was a solid conclusion to a really fresh, well fleshed out, first arc. There are still lots of questions to be answered and what started as a fairly simple concept is now already a well-fleshed out series with interesting characters. This series may appear gimmicky, but it's well-written, engaging and honestly one of the better Rebirth titles coming out right now. Here's hoping this title makes it past the second arc and sees ongoing success. more

Death of X is basically what if you mix Weekend at Bernies with V for Vendetta, but with mutants instead.




Also, if you were expecting Lemire to explain what terrible thing Cyclops did... well...it doesn't pay off. So Lemire kept telling us that Cyclops did this completely unforgivable thing in Extraordinary X-men and it turns out all he did was to make -one- terrigen cloud innocuous to mutants... wow, such a monster!




No wonder other characters in the Marvel universe see Tykeclops as the 2nd coming of Hitler!




Snark aside, it's hard to judge the mini-series in isolation given that Marvel announced it as an interquel between Secret Wars and Extraordinary X-men that would explain the events of the eight missing months -- and as such, Extraordinary X-men, by casting a shadow on Death of X, retroactively draws a goal line that Death of X is supposed to reach, and ultimately is found wanting.

Stunning art wasn't enough to make up for a mediocre-at-best story. Percy's game has gotten pretty weak since the first story arc ended, and this story while a bit of fun was really pretty shallow and predictable. There wasn't really much character development here and whilst there was some preachy dialogue it did little to add to any overarching sense of intrigue which could mark the book out as unique. Some incredible panels do well to distract, but ultimately Green Arrow is going to need a much richer story to carry out the Rebirth promises of this Queen/ Canary partnership. So far I've been underwhelmed. more

A really unique series, didn't expect much from this but was very surprised by the premise, direction and content (knowing almost nothing about the character prior to the series). I'd recommend this to anyone looking for something a bit different from Marvel.

A fun cartoony art style, some good humour and dialogue as well as an interesting mystery being set-up: this series promises to be a lot of fun. Can't wait to see which characters will appear, but I have a feeling we'll see some really great action coming up. It's worth noting that Batman and the Turtles don't actually cross-up yet, but I'd imagine we'll see them back together once the series progresses further. This could end up pretty samey, but if it keeps the momentum of the start it looks like it could be on for another successful mini-series. more

Personally I preferred the backup story; exploring the origin of The People and Zenzi; some beautiful artwork and colours and well-written narration offers what I think will be an interesting elucidation of Wakandan politics and conflict. The first story, whilst the weaker I think as it lacks the same wider focus and mystery still offers a close and emotional look at the love story between Ayo and Aneka. It's not really to my taste, but for fans of the pair it will undoubtedly be worth reading. more
