Not a fan of Deadpool enough to buy it regularly but as a Gambit fan I had to pick this up. It wasn't great but it also wasn't terrible either and I actually enjoyed the art more than I thought I would.

Not a huge fan of Magic titles but this I do really enjoy! Aaron seems to have a great understanding of Strange and nobody draws weird better than Bachalo. What I really love is the creation of the Empirikul, they seem like a great addition to the Marvel Universe and while some Marvel heroes have a huge list of adversaries I think Doctor Strange is in need of a few more.

Warren Ellis writes a great James Bond and really sets the standard high. I feel sorry for whoever has to write this next.

James Bond #7

By: Warren Ellis, Jason Masters

After World War Two, army intelligence groups created ghost cells called "stay-behinds" across Europe in the event of a Warsaw Pact surge. "EIDOLON" is the story of a SPECTRE stay-behind structure - ghost cells of SPECTRE loyalists acting as sleepers until the time is right for a SPECTRE reformation and resurgence. The time is now.

I went into this being a fan of Action Man as a kid and my expectations weren't high. I don't think anyone will look back in 20 years time saying this was a definitive Action Man but it has enough to be enjoyable. I could see myself continuing to buy this more in a limited series format than a regular series but either way for the moment I will try out issue 2 next month.

Liam Sharp drawing anything automatically gives this title a good rating but the fact that Greg Rucka seems to understand Wonder Woman's corner of the DCU makes this creative pairing pretty much perfect.

I don't think this issue was really integral to Superman Rebirth but it was well written & and some of Tom Grummett's best art in years. If DC gave Grummett a Superman title (Steel, Superboy,or any other Superman) to draw with the team that inked and colored this issue I think I'd be back in 90's Superman heaven.

I haven't missed an issue of this since it started. Too me it's felt like one long DC What If or Elseworlds where anything can happen. I wouldn't want to see any of this stuff happen in the main DCU but being able to read it here, self contained with infinite possibilities feels just right.
Here's hoping they do an Injustice II comic when the new game comes out.

It feels like they have slowed the Flash down a little which you would think was a bad thing but it turns out to be what this title needed. After feeling very full throttle for the past few years this creates the perfect mix between Barry's personal life and building up an exciting storyline.

I'm not going to pretend I've ever really been a true Aquaman fan and at some points I've absolutely hated the character. Like quite a few other people, Rebirth is the reason I gave it another try and so far I'm enjoying it.

The formula for this comic is so simple and it works perfectly, but I wouldn't expect anything less from Dan Jurgens.

I was hesitant when I started reading this new take on Archie but I've happily been proven wrong as it perfectly walks that fine line between revamping the Archie universe and still remaining very respectful to the core of these characters.

The artwork is definitely the triumph of this series, I love the painted feel to it and the colouring is great too.

We have been dealing with the fact that many people do agree with Sam as the new Captain America for a while now and it continues in this issue as Sam reflects on the loss of Rhodey and the parallels between his new position and Rhodey as Ironman.

Surprise hit of the year. This issue packs a mean punch just like the first one. As the plot builds Im anxious to see what course Nighthawk takes. 2 vigilantes .. Same city.. Something gotta give. The racial overtones may not sit well with some readers but the realness of the comic do far is socially relevant. Im not scared to say that it is more culturally relevant than Black Panther. So far aft more
