Years ago, John Reader was an accomplished homicide detective. So accomplished that it cost him everything else in his life. Now John finds himself alone, tra...
Another good issue. Art is the really swelling point, but it feels good to have a detective Batman story that's pretty well grounded.
BATMAN ON THE HUNT FOR THE MYSTERIOUS WOUND MAN! Case 01: We Are Wounded - Part II As the mysterious Wound Man's body count rises higher and higher, the Dark Knight Detective must descend into the festering depths of Gotham's past to uncover the secret truth at the heart of Wound Man's crimes.
The book had some cool pages. The story was pretty generic and I have absolutely no idea why this needed to be red band.

I wasn't impressed. I thought all the stories had potential, but not all of them were presented in an enjoyable way. Only the Pickaxe story really kept me invested from beginning to end.

This book is pretty bad. I want to stay with because I like Venom, but this issue was rough.
A.I.M. AND FIRE! A.I.M. are on the hunt for the All-New Venom - and they're not alone! Who are.. the SYMBIOTE SQUAD? Meanwhile, Dylan Brock's search for the new Venom host puts him on a collision course with the deadly Madame Masque! And the mystery deepens as one suspect is eliminated... with extreme prejudice!
Rated T+
It was a fine issue that had good moments. It's just unfortunate that the whole Spider-Man facing losses of those close to him has been done before.
THE 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN CONTINUES! Spider-Man has faced four Scions and is running out of extra lives. This issue's scion, CYRA, represents the very power of Death Itself and makes Spider-Man watch everything he loves die. Can Spider-Man possibly withstand this punishment?
Rated T
It's not really what I expected from this series, but it still is enjoyable and entertaining. I just wish more time was spent building the new characters to make me care about them.
The overseer of the House by the Sea, the enigmatic Max, wants to meet with Walter so she can understand just what he's been up to at the House on the Lake. One small problem with that: Walter's dead, and the residents of the Lake House killed him...

Your Ringleaders, Rick Remender and Paul Azaceta, invite you to this fantastical double-length premiere issue of their new ongoing series! A decade after the Seasons sisters' beloved parents disappeared, a wicked carnival arrives in town. Within its big tent is a da...
This was probably the weakest issue so far. I dont mind the new character, but I didnt get this book for mainly her story.
ELEMENTARY debuted last issue and continues on her hero journey alongside BOTH SPIDER-MEN! But that journey is going to be rocky with TWO ELECTROS and...is that a giant Lizard? Uh-oh.
Rated T
The art was pretty fire. The story is just getting a little worn out. We are 17 issues in and we are still on this sins story. It has value to some extent, but I wish we would get more.
DEATH BECOMES HER!
As intrigue and violence swirl around them, Matt Murdock and Elektra Natchios are about to face the most intense conflict of their entire time as Daredevil...and it could be against one another!
Rated T+
More slightly above ok Miles. this run hasnt been all that great. This arc has some entertainment value, but it feels very generic and by the numbers.
TRIAL BY COMBAT!
Who will be left standing - BLACK PANTHER or SPIDER-MAN?! Deep in the wilds of Wakanda, a ritual to save Miles Morales' life begins, and the panther god BAST can no longer help him! Two more deities invade Miles' desperate trial, hungering for Spider-Man's corrupted soul. Only ONE of their chosen champions will be saved.<...
It introduced somewhat interesting characters, but its not at the level of any previous issue. Still was enjoyable, just didnt provide much excitement.
THE ULTIMATE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY! America Chavez takes center stage in this issue as a group of galactic travelers from a far-flung, Maker-free future arrive in search of her!
Rated T+
Was a little confused at the end with Felix and the ghost, but the twist was pretty cool.
The end is nigh for James Tynion IV and Christian Ward's debut DSTLRY series!
Ambrose Everett Hall worked his entire life to cheat death... but what if he actually succeeded? Trapped in the labyrinthine tunnels below his tomb-like mansion with the ghostly remnants of his grisly experiments hot on their trail, Janie and Vesper are about to find ...
If this book has cooler art I'd put up even higher. It's a really good series so far.
Status is all perception... and Justin's feeling more than ready to be perceived, upgrading every facet of his life now that he's a Proxy.
But the life of a Proxy is far from just luxury and parties... There's a dark side as well, and Justin's about to find out that he's entered a world that's far more dangerous than he could have ever ima...
Another great issue. I could have done with our them showing us the answer to the mystery, but it at least felt somewhat shocking.
It seems everyone in the Tin Can Society is harboring a secret-and perhaps none is darker than the one weighing on Adam. As the group journeys back through the story of this football star whose career was tragically cut short, they must unearth the truth behind the death of poor Wally Gimmler. It may be the key to solving Johnny's murder and the de...
A good issue. Not what I was expecting after the first but it did enough to make me care.
Betrayed by his own, Kai no longer knows who to trust-and that's a problem, because the people who wanted him dead want to finish the job. Trapped between a rebellion he doesn't believe in and an army that tried to kill him, Kai will have to make a choice-and quickly.
Too quick of an ending that didn't do much to really make the series worthwhile. It was ok, but none of it really meant anything.
Series finale! Chaos unfolds as the Gardens compete with a hostile cult's amusement park takeover and Loo seeks to put an end to the madness once and for all.
It's alright. This story needs to wrap up. Ive liked this run so far, but it could use more variety.
After literally tearing himself apart to escape from Hell, Matt Murdock's soul has been FRACTURED! Each portion corrupted and twisted into the image of one of the seven deadly sins! One by one, Matt has begun to conquer his demons and save his friends, but some demons aren't so easily exorcised - as Matt and one of his young wards are about to disc...
It was a fine issue. Had some good family moments and a good cliffhanger.
A VERY MERRY SPIDER-CHRISTMAS?

Gwen so concerned? Don't miss the thrilling conclusion of the second arc - and the first year - of ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN!

It's a beautiful book. The story is sound, it just isn't very exciting. It will need to give us more in the next issue.

I had some fun with it. Nothing spectacular and it's premise is the same as the last few. Just feels a little better written with this writer compared to Kelly.

Not a lot happens. I did like the artist on this. Has a nice comic look and feel. It's an average story that entertained and that's about it.
SILENT KNIGHT = VIOLENT NIGHT!
He may be back from the dead, but Moon Knight is already in the fight of his life, as dangerous operators on both sides of the law target heroes, villains and civilians with callous disregard for safety! Joke's on them, though, because Moon Knight ALSO has a callous disregard for safety... and his is bigger!

More of a one shot type of story, but it was entertaining and visually wild.
New Story Arc. Another tale of everyone's favorite immortal British redcoat! It's 1873, and travelers are disappearing within Labette County, Kansas, without a trace. Now, Simon Pure finds himself on the trail of the latest missing person and his young daughter, leading him to one of the strangest and most violent clans of killers to have ev...
Solid issue. Geiger never lets you down. I really didn't like Nate at first, but every issue has improved his character.
Trouble brews within the last civilized town in America. The cause: Tariq Geiger, who attracts too many bounty hunters wanting the enormous sum for his corpse. But when Geiger loses control, will he ultimately become this town's protector... or its doom? Plus, the return of Junkyard Joe's creator and enemy, The Custodian. But what are his ties to G...
Had some strong parts, but just felt a little repetitive. Still an enjoyable issue.
More and more patients are acting strangely at The Ashcroft Hospital and none of the doctors know why. What's happening to the infirmed and feeble-minded men and women who wander its halls? They are changing, seemingly possessed... Only Alicia knows the truth-these patients are possessed, their bodies now vessels for spirits brought over from the o...
I liked some of the Elementary parts. The whole thing with the Electros didn't do it for me. Still had some fun, just not as much as previous issues.
• The Spider-Men and the new hero ELEMENTARY go out to protect the city.
• One's maiden voyage is rarely just like practice, and this is no exception...
