DDJamesB reviewed Absolute Batman #14 Jan 11, 2026
I was late to the Absolute Batman game. I recently bought all the issues and caught up. This grade is for the entirety of the Bane arc. What a fun and wild story. Yea it's over the top, but it's fun as hell. I'm usually a marvel guy and I can't tell you the last time I had this much fun with a Marvel book. Just wild stuff.

What a cool, mysterious issue. I really want to know what they have planned for the end. Never had a series I was about to drop that turned out to be so interesting.

When Jonathan Reason falls asleep, he becomes...something terrible. Captured by scientists at a lab after inadvertently weakening his alter ego, Jon begins hatching a plan to escape, only to hear about a possible cure.
DDJamesB reviewed Tin Can Society #9 Jan 6, 2026
I'll give it a bit of a higher grade for the satisfying ending, but the release schedule really hindered this book. Might be worth a sit down read of everything.
/9_small.webp)
THE TIN CAN SOCIETY comes to its thrilling, heartbreaking conclusion as the gang confronts the dark forces haunting Moore Progress, and head off into an uncertain future that may not include one of them...
It's a well done comic. Feral has improved so much for me over the past 5-10 issues. This ending was just what this story needed though. We need to start moving past Pet City.

THIS IS THE BIG ONE! ELSIE VS. GIGI! This fight has been brewing since Elsie had an affair with Gigi’s Tomcat Lover. Now it’s finally happening as the new leader of Pet City makes sheltering there even worse than before. The outcome of this FELINE CIVIL WAR will change our cats’ lives FOREVER!
DDJamesB reviewed Ultimates #19 Jan 6, 2026

STUNG BY THE WASP! It's the Ultimate Betrayal! Wasp has been a double agent for the Maker's Council in the name of protecting her family…but now, with the Maker emerging, her treachery must be answered for!
DDJamesB reviewed American Caper #2 Jan 5, 2026
It took me a bit to remember who was who from the first issue, but once I got it, it was back to a hell of a chaotic issue. It's just so absurd that I really enjoy it.
/2_small.webp)
Verona, Wyoming is rattled by a murder, a van crash of smuggled immigrants, and three escaped fugitives on the run. William visits Marty Blowman, the erratic, HGH-swilling billionaire turned cowboy, who reveals a little too much of his insecurities.

This was a good issue. It continues to build emotion and stales for the main character.

The wreckage is still smoldering. As enemy soldiers tighten their grip on a devastated village, Milton must risk everything to stop a weapon that could change the course of the war. But inside these broken walls, not everyone is ready to fight again.
DDJamesB reviewed Ultimate Endgame #1 Jan 5, 2026
It wasn't bad, but I was expecting more from this issue. You're telling me the city opened and that's what we get?

ENDGAME HAS ARRIVED! The moment that has been building since the beginning of the new Ultimate Universe! Spinning out of Deniz Camp and Juan Frigeri's ULTIMATES comes the culmination of ULTIMATE INVASION… Two (thousand) years have passed in the Ultimate Universe, but inside the City, the Maker has had thousands of years to prepare for his return!...

DDJamesB reviewed Punisher: Red Band #4 Jan 4, 2026
Id give it a little higher if the art was better. It's a little too cartoony for me.
DDJamesB reviewed Gunpowder Prophets #3 Jan 4, 2026
This series is just fun. It's not deep, it's not challenging. Just 2 dudes killing.
/3_small.webp)
Huck and Marley killed the bikers and rescued America (the kid, not the country)... only to run right into the long arm of the law. That’s a problem. But not as big a problem as the bikers coming back from the dead. And boy, are they mad.
DDJamesB reviewed It Killed Everyone But Me #4 Jan 4, 2026
The star of the series is the Heathen. It's an interesting book. I appreciate its uniqueness.
/4_small.webp)
With the Heathen's influence hitting close to home, Sutton is forced to finally reveal the truth about her past to those she loves the most. But it might be too late as the Heathen sets Ian on a collision course with the Stain.
DDJamesB reviewed Wrestle Heist #1 Jan 4, 2026
I like wrestling, so this is a really cool book. If you don't, I'm not sure the level of enjoyment you'd get from this.
/1_small.webp)
A former pro wrestler—who has a brush with death thanks to a crooked promoter—assembles a crew of fellow wrestlers he’s screwed over... to rob him blind during the biggest wrestling event of the year. From the outrageous, action-packed mind of multi-time Eisner nominee KYLE STARKS (Peacemaker Tries Hard, Sexcastle, I Hate This Place), with e...
DDJamesB reviewed Exquisite Corpses #8 Jan 4, 2026
This issue was another fine issue. Some issues of this series really deliver, some are just fine. It's fun, but I feel like it could be more.
/8_small.webp)
As the dust settles and the bodies are counted, a brutal new playing field is revealed. A killer shows their true face…and a survivor takes their first life. Eisner-nominated writer Pornsak Pichetshote (The Good Asian) and accomplished artist Adam Gorham (Hellhunters) rejoin James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh to ratchet up the tension on the most ...
DDJamesB reviewed Everything Dead & Dying #4 Jan 4, 2026
This book is awesome. It really has me hooked for the main character.
/4_small.webp)

Will Jack be able to defend his undead loved ones, or will his zombie neighbors take matters into their own rotting hands -- especially as they grow hungrier and hungrier?
DDJamesB reviewed Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu #15 Jan 4, 2026
It's a generic bad guy learns the error of their ways type of book. It's ok.
/15_small.webp)
WAR AT THE MISSION'S DOOR! The Midnight Mission has been through hell and back the last few years - but that isn't half of what they'll go through in THIS issue! As the stage is set for an emotional disaster that's bound to tear the mission apart, Marc Spector finds himself ambushed and at the mercy of a familiar, and particularly violent, foe…
DDJamesB reviewed W0rldtr33 #17 Jan 4, 2026
Back to the main story. It's good for the most part. Just wondering how it all ties together.
NEW STORY ARC The pitch-black tech-horror hit returns to the present day as Ellison and the surviving members of the w0rldtr33 gang race to turn back the clock on the end of the world—and prevent ANGEL from restarting the internet. All roads lead to San Francisco. All roads lead to the Undernet.
DDJamesB reviewed Blink and You'll Miss It #4 Jan 4, 2026
I felt good about the story until this issue. I like it, but I'm not sure I understand it all.
/4_small.webp)
The genre-defying new saga rockets towards its conclusion!

DDJamesB reviewed No Man's Land #4 Jan 4, 2026
The art was cool. I'm not sure how connected I am to the plot. Didn't feel like it gave me a story I feel good about.
/4_small.webp)
A long and exhausting murder investigation comes to a shocking end.
DDJamesB reviewed Masterminds #3 Jan 4, 2026
Kind of like Saw but for a secret society. I like it, but the last 2 issues have felt so similar. Just more and more games.
/3_small.webp)
Level Three. After a brush with death in the audition’s most dangerous puzzle yet, a suspicious and paranoid Edward discovers the Masterminds are everywhere, watching his every step and controlling his every move. As he tries to secretly investigate their true motives and identities, he soon realizes that in this game, he can’t trust anyone.
DDJamesB reviewed Amazing Spider-Man #18 Jan 4, 2026
Art style of JRJR is not for me. The story was fine. I liked the conversation with Norman and Jonah. The goblin slayer stuff really didn't do much for me.
/18_small.webp)
ONCE A GOBLIN… Norman Osborn may not be the real Spider-Man, but he's the Spider-Man NYC's got. Despite Norman doing his very best to do good, everyone, including Peter Parker's allies, is trying to take him down. And someone or something(s) is hunting GOBLINS…and they're finally ready to spring their terrifying trap!
DDJamesB reviewed Racer X #4 Jan 4, 2026
It does overlap with Speed Racer so much that sometimes reading both is a little redundant. It's still fun to see the Racer X side of things.
/4_small.webp)
On the alpine track, Racer X faces his deadliest rival--Kim Jugger, the man who once betrayed Rex to the C.A.T. Team. As Jugger’s brutal tactics tear into the Wedge Car, Racer X relives the mob ties and blood-soaked betrayals that forged him…until Speed makes a last-second save that changes everything. The finish line delivers more than victory...
DDJamesB reviewed The Undead Iron Fist #4 Jan 4, 2026
Wasn't crap, but sooooo generic. Kind of lame since I enjoyed the series for the most part until this ending.

THE FINAL FACE-OFF! The truth stands revealed as DANNY RAND must face off against a man he once saved… The false prophet, the "first" Iron Fist, makes his return. Goodbye, Danny Rand.

DDJamesB reviewed Daredevil / Punisher: The Devil's Trigger #2 Jan 2, 2026
I never read the work it's essentially mirroring, so to me it's a cool story with 2 of my favorite characters.

A FAMILY AFFAIR…SHOWERED WITH BULLETS! The Gnucci crime family is one of the slimiest and most vile criminal organizations the Marvel Universe has ever seen - and it's fallen to Frank Castle, A.K.A.

DDJamesB reviewed High Strangeness: 1983 #3 Jan 2, 2026
The ending was a little ambiguous, but it was pretty entertaining. I might have liked this one the most.
/1983_3_small.webp)
From genre-colliding production company SpectreVision and groundbreaking comic book publisher Oni Press, the startling five-part expedition into the dimly lit borderlands of human experience—where phenomena like UFOs, hauntings, cryptid sightings, and inexplicable synchronicities overlap and bleed through the very fabric of reality itself—conti...
