I really like the idea of the story. It's very intriguing on what they are trying to pull off. It's just done in a way that hinders the effectiveness. I can't quite explain it. It comes off as confusing in some parts when it really shouldn't be.
WHO IS TRAITOR X?
In the aftermath of the greatest betrayal in X-Men history, the Quiet Council in exile must act. They have a plan. Can anyone, or anything, survive the experience? As the Krakoan Age barrels toward its conclusion, the two series that are one converge on an act that will live in infamy!
Rated T+
The art was great. Or maybe I just think it was because JrJr has been not my style. Either way, this issue felt alright to read. It wasn't great, but I was entertained.
Peter Parker vs. Ben Reilly! Spider-Man finally gets a rematch! Meanwhile, what is going on with Norman Osborn?! Only two issues left until AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #50!
Rated T
It's a decent companion to Rise of the Powers of X #4. It just tells a story running at the same time as that issue. It's decent. I like that one a little better, but this was still pretty decent.
IMMORTAL MEANS FOREVER!
The fight for Krakoa's future begins here! Since RISE OF THE POWERS OF X began, there have been a few mysteries unrevealed! Now writer Kieron Gillen fills in the gap of what happened between the end of IMMORTAL X-MEN and the beginning of the end of the Krakoan Age!

I didn't really like this one as much as the first two. It does show promise with quite the cliffhanger, but some of the stuff you really have to suspend belief and it just felt like a bit if a chore to read.
As freedom and democracy flourish, the animals work together to set up a steady stream of donations for the pound, and all seems well for a time.
However, tensions build as the fairness of the current system is called into question, and when Piggy the dog decides to run for election, he does something unthinkable that shocks all of the ani...
Will we finally get answers next issue. Just has been a lot of questions and not much substance. Somehow I keep coming back and am intrigued but give me something!
End of Story Arc.
Will Theresa discover where Dom and Birdie have disappeared to and solve the mysteries of Project Jackknife and her own traumatic past? While Birdie and Dom continue to transport the entity, they encounter a roadblock on their speedrun that might end their journey...
It was decent. Not sure where the high grades are coming from. It's a pretty straight forward uneventful comic that has promise and told a decent start to a story.
Unyielding wildlife photographer Brynne Brautigan, isolated in the remote cold of Baffin Island, sees something she can't unsee.
An argument, followed by an outburst of intense violence between two nearby climbers-did she just witness a murder?
In a frantic search for the truth, Brynne discovers just what she's looking for, but little does ...
Solid issue. Was a little more typical Captain America talking about fascism type stuff than other issues, but still was a great visual experience.
America and democracy are under attack! Can THE AVENGERS of tomorrow save a country from itself, as their greatest enemy dismantles everything CAPTAIN AMERICA holds dear? It's a battle decades in the making, and no one is safe!

NEW SERIES DEBUT from DSTLRY! Modern masters JAMES TYNION IV and CHRISTIAN WARD join forces to bring you their next horror classic. A ghost story steeped in the decay of a century of capitalism.

I liked certain parts. I didn't hate it. It just felt not needed at all.

It was one of the better Fall of the House of X issues. It's still not perfect, but I atleast felt the urgency in this issue. Even if for a few moments.
MY ALLY, MY ENEMY!
They say a wounded animal can be the most dangerous kind of animal to face. As the fight between the mutants and Orchis reaches a deadly pitch, a startling revelation rocks the X-Men to their core. The two series that are one come together in one horrible betrayal as the Krakoan Age nears its conclusion!
Rated T+
It's good enough to feel entertaing, but lacks the emotion to make me really care.
THE NEW GHOST RIDER!
There's a new Spirit of Vengeance in town and he's looking to run the place. There will be no stopping THIS rider. The mystery of Johnny Blaze's disappearance continues!
Rated T+
Entertaining but almost felt like a cliche comic book final fight.
SERIES FINALE
The gruesome saga of Rose and the Girl Who Wouldn't Burn comes to its thrilling conclusion in this EPIC, DOUBLE-LENGTH FINAL ISSUE of KILL YOUR DARLINGS.
I liked the fight between Rabble and Miles. I do think a lot of the issues in this series feel similar. Lots of action with a lot of talking while fighting. I do like Shift though so the ending was fire.
FALLOUT FROM ISSUE #300!
The climactic events of issue #300 have FOREVER CHANGED Miles Morales! But a SPIDER-MAN's job is never done. And in fact, learning to live with the consequences of his actions might be the greatest job of Miles' life. Who will survive? What has the battle cost him? And what does the future look like for Miles Morales: ...
It was entertaining. Not sure what some of the side storylines are leading to. I also think the whole She-Rat part was just not needed.
"ARACHNOBATICS" CONTINUES!
Surprising anyone who knows Peter Parker (but probably not those who know Miles Morales), the Spider-Men have been keeping up their weekly meetup at the Coffee Bean! Sadly, that hasn't given them any insight into the machinations of the Jackal!!! And what do all these mysterious interludes add up to?

Great brick laying work by Hickman and a very enjoyable issue from all angles. Except the final reveal which I'm all for if we get a different wrinkle on that old rivalry. Peter Parker as an older guy trying to learn to be Spider-Man was never on my list of books and from Hickman of all people but here we are. Checchetto with an absolute perfect outing on art. This must have taken a lot of time tomore

Spider-Man sizes up the new hero Green Goblin! As they team up to fight a new super villain, secrets about the corporations running North America are revealed...
And you'll never guess who discovers Spider-Man's secret identity!
Rated T
It's an enjoyable read, but definitely is the weakest of the series. Deep Cuts has been a wonderful series. Each story has its own merits.
MINISERIES FINALE
Worldwide. 1977. The Great Unknown embark on their first world tourâ"but as tensions in the group begin to rise, might they have already played their final set? Team DEEP CUTS is joined by TOBY CYPRESS (THE GRAVEDIGGERS UNION, Electric Century) for the blistering miniseries finale!
Another good issue of The One Hand. It's a strong series that continues to make me invested in the mystery.
THE HIT MINISERIES CONTINUES!
As the mysteries of the new One Hand Killer deepen, Detective Ari Nassar is starting to see connections everywhere. The walls are closing in as his prior arrests are questioned...and yet, why does he think the only person who call help is Odell Watts, the man Ari put away years ago for the very same crimes?

Definitely not as strong as the stuff that's come before this issue. It's still entertaining, but a little generic.

Kind of reminded me of the ending of the movie "The Collection" but with a twist. It was a solid ending to a really good series.
What is the Keep's endgame? How will it forever change or destroy Tyler and his family's life? Will Detective Madoc be able to overcome his traumatic experiences in the Dungeons as a boy to unravel the Keep's plans and stop this from ever happening to anyone else?

After a tense issue #4 we get a good issue, but lacked a good escalation from last issue.
Sam's foe was quick and mighty cleverNow Sam must skip town, maybe forever. The town doesn't trust her, they think she's the one. So Sam's on her own, and alone she must run. But maybe, just maybe, she'll learn in the wild. And return to that town, to face the devil child.
The art was pretty fire. As for the story, it wasn't the most exciting issue, but still told a pretty good story.

It wasn't as horrible as last issue but still bad. I'm just not sure what they are going for in this arc. The ending was a little interesting, but it was a chore to get through.
