JED MACKAY AND STORMBREAKER C.F. VILLA TAKE THE REINS OF EARTH'S MIGHTIEST HEROES!
The Star. The Icon. The Witch. The Construct. The God. The Engineer. The King. The world is ever in peril, and a new team of Avengers mobilizes to meet any dangers that dare threaten the planet. But when TERMINUS attacks, a new and insidious danger rears its head...
It's what the FF are about: fun adventures with questions of dual hopelessness and hopefulness for the future. Ryan keeps the sciency mumbo jumbo going at hyper speed while Carlos Gomez delivers some of his best art colored nicely by Jesus Aburtov.
Earth is being invaded by subatomic particles from the other side of the universe - but what terrible secret do they hold inside? As Mr. Fantastic discovers the horrifying truth, he finds out something worse: There're some things in the universe that even he and his family's powers can't stop! And when everyone in the Baxter Building is close to be...
Enjoyable F4 issue with questionable pseudo-science from Ryan North but very fun and gets you interested. Carlos Gomez on art is very sharp and makes the F4 look good.
The world is recovering from Blood Hunt, and Johnny and Sue take Jo and Nicki to NYC for a bit of a break... ...but when a cosmic incident from outer space threatens forty percent of the planet, the whole team is forced to meet in New York and get to the bottom of what's really going on! The Fantastic Four will need teamwork, cleverness and an old ...
ONE WORLD UNDER DOOM!
Six months ago, Doctor Victor Von Doom became Sorcerer Supreme - then disappeared behind Latveria's closed borders. For most, there's enough going on in the world that Doom's absence is not a priority, and some time without him feels like a blessing. Only a few recognize it for what it truly was...the calm before the...
WHO IS THE ALL-NEW VENOM?
The smiling, swashbuckling spider-hero New York loves to hate to love is back - and more fun-loving than ever! That's right, it's... Wait, it's VENOM?! An all-new host is taking the symbiote in a whole new direction - but who? It could be the Journalist...the Terrorist...the Sidekick... or even the Mayor... We're...
Gary Frank is what I'm here for because the story is nice but the art is what makes it worth gazing at. Those animals were flawless!!
A shocking epilogue! In the wake of their devastating encounter with the Electrician, Tariq Geiger must come to grips with the lethal consequences-especially with what happened with his two-headed wolf, Barney. You won't want to miss this extraordinary spotlight on Geiger's best friend.
Finally this is trying to deliver something other than marching on and on in nuclear wastelands beating bad guys like an 80s movie with a guy who's hard to care for. Still these beats from Geoff Johns have been laid before but Gary Frank just destroys on art you can't help but enjoy it.
This is it! The first four issues of this new series have all pointed toward this final battle between Geiger and The Electrician! But it might be a quick one: The Electrician's clever trap hits Geiger's greatest weakness, and his friends are helpless to halt it. Also: the final fate of Barney, the two-headed mutant wolf!
Heading somewhere that might get me to be 100% in but not there yet. I didn't need the action scenes but it still welcomed addition and I like the way Gary Frank puts his 110% into it. I really want Junkyard Joe to be tied in well here and make me care but we'll see.
The clock ticks down for Tariq Geiger! The scheming Electrician kidnapped Geiger's best friend. The problem? Standing between Geiger and the Electrician is the largest horde of deformed mutant Organ People he's ever encountered. The solution? Launch a desperate assault through them, hoping the masses don't completely overwhelm him. Can the Nuclear ...
Heading in the right direction but still lacks the punch to bring my full investment. Geoff Johns is good on the small moments but he needs better stringed bigger moments. Still I'll read anything Gary Frank illustrates.
Tariq Geiger surrounds himself with some dangerous friends. His two-headed wolf Barney bears the trauma of the fateful night that Geiger found him. And he and Geiger's surprising new companion try to atone for a life of unfettered violence and brutality. But even between the three of them, they are no match for the many threats in pursuit. Plus, th...
It's not bad but nothing gripping from Geoff Johns but man the art from Gary Frank is perfect!
The Unnamed Saga Continues! Tariq Geiger, his two-headed wolf Barney, and their surprising newfound companion begin their quest along the radioactive roads of the former United States to find a cure for the Glowing Man's nuclear-powered condition. But in order to obtain the information they need, Geiger's crew must first help a local sheriff catch ...
Decent start with great art but nothing special.
SERIES PREMIERE
IT ALL STARTS HERE!
The critically acclaimed team of storytellers GEOFF JOHNS and GARY FRANK return to the nuclear wasteland of GEIGER for an ALL-NEW ONGOING series starring the violent and unpredictable GLOWING MAN! Leaving his home behind, Tariq Geiger now walks the radioactive roads of the former United States with his ...
One the most fun and enjoyable series I read in years. Fraction just delivers on the nonsense of Jimmy Olsen's DC shenanigans and he also gave me the best Batman in forever. Steve Lieber is the perfect art partner for this craziness and he does some nice work in this last issue. Props to Nathan Fairbairn on colors keeping it tight with the sun downs and those faces and shades were nice too.
Whoa-is that what I think it is? If I’m reading this solicitation text correctly, we made it to issue #12! Mazel tov! Party time! If you see Matt and Steve at the next convention, go buy them a drink because I have no idea how we made it this far! No, wait, I do-it’s all thanks to you guys! In this final issue, with the Daily Planet on the rope...
Fraction had a nice plan for Jimmy Olsen that got sidetracked in hilarious shenanigans but this here put it together nicely and Lieber ups his game on art.
Hey, look-it's issue 11 of a 12-issue series, so it's the perfect jumping-on point for new readers! Mysteries get solved, criminals are revealed, and a secret ally emerges from the shadows. Want more? There are robots, aliens, and The Daily Planet faces a threat to its existence at the same moment the actual planet faces the same! Now's the time to...
Fraction has to start to bring it all together and it's good to see but the shenanigans have lost some of their charm wrapped in nonsense. Still enjoyable and Lieber is great as always.
Jimmy continues his world tour, risking his life for more of your sweet retweets, likes, and faves! Plus, the mastermind behind Jimmy's assassination is revealed... and the insidious secret he's willing to kill for will upend everything everywhere forever, assuming by "everything" you mean "everything in the pages of just this comic." Al...
It's still good but the way this starts to run out of fuel is a knock on it because of how well crafted the previous issues were but we come down to try to finally get somewhere and it suffers a bit.
Jimmy and Jix are on the run, pursued by an intergalactic death force that wants to break up their marriage by any means necessary. If they succeed in offing Jimmy, their prince regent plans to marry Jix and unite their warring empires...but Jimmy Olsen's still busy trying to solve his own murder! (Or rather, his decoy corpse's murder.) It's a typi...
Ooh ooh, aah, aah-Jimmy see, Jimmy do! Jix and Jimmy go back to Gorilla City, where they had a one-night marriage-stand. (Don't believe it? Go reread Superman: Leviathan Rising #1!) Jimmy's sister Janie and Doc Mantel get to Gorilla City to warn Jimmy about what Doc saw in the future, only to find it's the attack of the 50-foot Jimmy!
Pure fun shenanigans from Matt Fraction with Lieber flexing with so many styles switching that work so well.
The doctor will see you now, Jimmy...and you, Jimmy, and you, and you, annnd you, too, Jimmy! How can there be five different Jimmy's, and how will our Jimmy handle keep the other four Jimmy's together without bursting into smithereens? Well, to answer that, Jimmy will first have to us about your mother. And what about your brother Jamie and sister...
Meanwhile, in Gotham City, the great Olsen/Batman prank war rages on. An old favorite returns to make heads or tails of just what the heck has been going on. Jimmy does some funny Fraction stuff. Batman is there, too, doing some Lieber stuff. Lex Luthor's kicking around. It's a whole thing.
The best issue yet. It just delivers laughs and insane scenarios. Batman has never been this hilarious. Fraction's nonsense scenarios are put on paper beautifully by Lieber and nice colors from Fairbairn.
Shoutout to the best Joker: Phillie Phanatic in the background although Gritty should've been there.
Jingles sell, Batman smells,
A prank war goes astray,
A Batmobile lost a wheel (literally),
'Cause Jimmy stole it from the valet!
This is pure fun craziness from Fraction. Timmy is my favorite youtuber now. Steve Liber delivers nonstop perfect art. This is on par with Nick Spencer's The Superior Foes of Spider-Man. Let's hope it endures and ends just as well.
Whassup, nerds? It's yer favorite irresponsible blogger, Timmy Olsen! In this month's episode of "Timmy's Bros," someone requested we get Batman to crack who moidered that Daily Planet photo-hack, Jimmy Olsen. Like how many wheels does a guy have to steal off the Batmobile to get a Bat-dude's attention around here?
The hits keep coming from all directions. Just pure stupid fun with serious nonsense right underneath.
Dearly beloved, we have gathered here today in this catalog to remember our friend, Superman's pal, the late Jimmy Olsen...'s assassination decoy!
Wait, somebody killed Jimmy's decoy body? But whodunit? And, like, whydunit? And...wait, when did Jimmy get a decoy of himself? What we do know is it's not safe for Jimmy in the City of Tomorrow any...
Fun and serious at the same time. Fraction is good at this stuff. Lieber fantastic fit with this nonsense.
Only Jimmy Olsen knows what Superman's secret superpowers truly are-and now those mysteries will finally be shared with you! And only you. Don't tell anyone. And Jimmy won't have any of his pal's super-abilities to help him get out of his latest jam as he hits the dark and dirty streets of Gotham City!
Super fun first issue. Plenty of laughs and Lieber’s art perfectly matches the tone of the issue. Cant wait for more

I actually had a lot of fun reading this one.

Top notch comicbooking from Fraction and Lieber! Not all land right but the majority work well and had me laughing from its outrageously poignant stupidity. Steve Lieber's art is great and is even better from what I saw a decade ago. Kuddos to him!

EISNER WINNER KELLY THOMPSON AND BREAKOUT ARTIST HAYDEN SHERMAN REINVENT WONDER WOMAN FROM THE GROUND UP! Without the island paradise...without the sisterhood that shaped her...without a mission of peace...what's left is the Absolute Amazon!
DENIZ CAMP AND JAVIER RODRIGUEZ TRANSFORM THE ABSOLUTE UNIVERSE! Beyond Mars...beyond physical form...beyond Human Understanding...all that's left is the ultimate alien: the Absolute Martian Manhunter!
This was a letdown of an ending. Cafu is amazing and delivers some amazing art that's colored beautifully by D'Armata but the story falls flat with predictable beats and weird choices but maybe not reading venom war makes it hard to understand the choices? Oh well the ship of reading extra books has sailed a long time ago.
VENOM'S TIMEQUEST COMES TO AN END!
Old Man Venom's quest through time has brought him to places he never imagined he'd go - this time taking audience with a god...of lies?! That's right - you can never go wrong making a deal with Loki - especially in his most evil form! Will this be the end of Dylan Brock for good?
Rated T+
This lacked a bit and no way would Chthon talk like that. If he did at least have a background or scenario where it would make sense. Just a weird direction.
OLD MAN VENOM'S TIME QUEST CONTINUES!
Old man Dylan Brock's adventure through time to bring an end to the Venom War takes him to one of the darkest places - the realm of Chthon! Can even Doctor Strange help him when confronted with the ultimate temptation of evil?
