Dumb cover. Dumb ring upgrade. Otherwise good read.

Unremarkable. Return of don't-call-me Nightshade is - something.

Fun read. Makes big battle win in main story less trope-y.

No chronological bearing with the "6 month untold gap" just detracts from "Event", imo.

Good stuff! The lead up chapters were better but still a strong ending!

Average. Partial pacing problem.

Average all around.

Consistently entertaining Felecia characterization going on.

Better than #1. Got to compliment it before the reveal of this so-far interesting 5 star point mystery is told since that MIGHT taint this rating. Good art.

As an Elseworlds tale.

On the plus, side Marvel manages to give all the discarded loser heroes some facetime but it was all so painfully convoluted. Deathoks essentially replace the TVA is a terrible direction. And if felt like the last Black Knight featured mini just went wastefully out the window. Mostly gets a "7" because of how bad X-Force and Legion of X were worse by comparison

Clever way to take out Selene but the problematic precidence from it knocks the rating down some pegs.

Nice retcon excitement. Doesn't seem problematic too much. Neat touch with Dr. "STRANG" being a mishearing. Any real problems to be discovered would drastically lower my rating.

More unbearable than Carol's toothache.

The script action/prose did not flow for me. Generally not a fan of the Authority characters in the DC Earth-1. Backup was better last issue.

I toally agree with rating and blurbs so far.

Uninspiring, unsurprising, for old reader like me but probably a standard, satisfying survival adventure for anyone new to reading comics.

Would've been lower if not for concept content of the canon-challenged servicble backup story.

Formula save-the-day story with gimmickaptain spotlight for backup story to rationalize price increase - just like the premiere. This was only better for the reveal of Speed Demon and Superior Sin. I personally am not a big fan of the liberal simultaneous codename copying. A couple weak parts were that so-called Superior Sin's killcount is presumably zero for bragging rights and Nichelle resorted to 1960's Andy Griffith TV show. more

This was so dull this week. Plus, they gave him, by inference, an unnecessary powerup with midair superbursts by just copying Jon.

this is horrible to bring in hordeculture and krakoa because theyre 'kewl' right now. man-thing had a great canon going aready! belasco is such a weak character and this new dreadscape is problematic.

More exposition of the DCU status of Hippolyta and Diana status would've been appreciated. Pairing JLD with JL in one book does work, imo. Felt like mostly talk for a "2nd issue", lacking grabber scenes.

It was okay. The team-up was a bit simple. Huang was not menacing as blurbed. Villainy of Tiangong has yet to grab my attention. But overall it was okay.

Enjoyed it. Not an punch thrown and yet still exciting to see all these interactions. Not a punch but Hammer did get his head hammered for those who want blood too. Not a punch but there was that marvelous swinging - with DD flying over the street. Nice art and evocative hug of Spidey, too.

More straightforward than the disappointing Iron Man 2020 #4 this week but cant get higher mark because it has much less meaty goodness.

This chapter was probably meant to definitively explain how the 'Real Tony' will be reborn but FRIDAY's explanation just had me confused as to all the various 'Fake Tony' incarnations over the years and their presentations. Tony has been a convoluted mess masquerading as the real thing, probably, as far back as him installing the digital copy of his brain after his coma-death circa Dark Reign. Maybe the last 2 issues will dot some i's and cross some t's more clearly and make this cruel COVID wait to read Shellhead more worthwhile. more

Entertaining action and banter for 20 pages. Deathloks, MODOK and Ultimo were baffling but bonus surprises.

If Marvel killed off Stan Lee & Arnold Drake's OG Yondu to try to tap some attempt at movie synergy. It is such a disappointment to have that failed and forced status quo change. The iconic character is wiped out in a poorly hyped mini. The art was quite bad. Who knows when Surfer appears chronologically? It's maddening given Norrin has a storyline in progress. And Young Yondu hardly grew to be likable or heroic by the end - not to mention barely synergetic to movie canon.

The pros: The IS a significant status quo change. Skreet is revisited. A sliver of hope Marvel has a care for the long mourned ROM mythos. Curious M'Kraan connections established. more
