Great review. Just a heads up though, there are 2 more issues.
This series rules. What a wild turn of events.
The depths of Jack Griffin’s evil have gone unseen by those around him...but now his experiments take a twisted and deadly turn! la!
I thought it was fine. I liked it. It's just we came off an amazing issue 2, and this action focused issue was not at the same emotional level. It was a hell of an action book, and looked great, but that's about it.
Pinned down, outgunned, and running on fumes, Milton Shaw makes a desperate push across enemy lines—with a squad of Narenian soldiers and a relentless bruiser on his heels. Trapped between a dam and a detonator, Milton’s last shot at survival is running out fast.
A little steep with the price. I wasn't too concerned with the back matter. It really didn't interest me to read all that. The main story was fine. Felt like it just ended when it started to get good. The art was great.

When THE WRECKER is targeted by the literal ghosts of his past, he comes to the Midnight Mission for help! Not everyone is convinced he deserves their assistance.
What an issue. That's two absolute amazing issues to start this series. Just wow.
Despite his best efforts to cling to his fantasies, reality has landed on Jack Chandler's doorstep...in the form of a bullet. The arrival of outsiders to Jack's hidden oasis of a rural community forces him to confront the zombie apocalypse he has been hiding from, and pick up arms to protect his undead family.
It's another solid issue of this series. Between the art and the grounded style Batman. It's refreshing.
With the mystery of the terrifying new arsonist’s identity hanging over his head, Batman finds himself at a crossroads with one of his allies. Is it possible they’re the mastermind behind the flames devouring Gotham City?
I like the deepening of the mystery. It's pretty solidly written and looks fantastic.
FBI Agent Collins touches down on Little Diomede to investigate a chilling murder—facing savage weather, crushing isolation, and the ghosts of a failing marriage. But when he's forced to team up with KGB Agent Sonia Fiodrow, the uneasy alliance leads to disturbing revelations: a religiously motivated killer and a community gripped by fear.
I always like Feral, but these last few issues have just really been something.
THE BATTLE FOR PET CITY BEGINS!
Elsie and Lucky lead their crew against Mother Helena and her strange felines with the winner taking control of the pet superstore. The only problem is, what was once a safe haven is now filled with rabid BAD KIND!
This was a good issue of DOT. It had fantastic art, a good conspiracy and an interesting start to a back up story.
THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH Celebrates its 5th Anniversary with an Extra-length #0 Issue!A new day has dawned at the Department of Truth. Lee Harvey Oswald and his ruthless new recruits are ready to do whatever it takes to make the agency great again. Don’t miss this critical turning point in the Eisner-nominated series!And—for the first time ever...
Still a good issue. Less emotional than some previous issues, but it still delivers a good time.
When Jonathan Reason falls asleep, he becomes...something terrible. With Tabitha’s theory proving correct, she breathes a sigh of relief… until Hipp’s actions precipitate an awful decision by Jon.
It's a well done issue, it's just kind of another issue where not much happens (besides the reveal at the end). I can't keep letting it get a pass for that.
THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF [REDACTED]!
Plot
Peter, MJ, May, Richard, Ben, JJ Jameson, and Otto Octavius live in a house underground, protected by the Mole Man. Otto and Richard share the household chores. Richard wears his nanotech suit, while Otto also wears a Spider-Man suit and calls himself "Superior."
Otto manages to create a device that, when connected to one of the Maker's communication nodes, can erase all more
THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF [REDACTED]!
This series is not as consistent as Cruel Universe. The murder mystery one was just kind of cheesy. The other two were fine, I just didn't care for the fact they were not as fleshed out as I would have liked. That's unfortunately more of an issue with the anthology style.
"TERROR! TORTURE! FEAR! MAYHEM! After all, this comic is called CATACOMB OF TORMENT—what did you expect, kittens?! Yes, yes, bite down hard and await the inevitable, because there is no escape and it’s too late—MUCH, MUCH TOO LATE—as our host, the Tormentor, carefully positions the scalpels of acutely accurate writers John Arcudi (B.P.R.D),...
I think Cruel Universe is usually consistent. I enjoyed all 3 stories. My favorite was the second.
Corporate greed, human desperation, technological despair! Such postulations all are but tiny specks swallowed by the unforgiving void of CRUEL UNIVERSE! EC’s Eisner Award–nominated sci-fi horror anthology continues its deep dive into futuristic depravity and darkness with three new tales from writers Cecil Castellucci (Shade the Changing Girl)...
Not as intriguing as the first issue. Still had fun, just didn't really get what I wanted for a second issue.
It was pretty good. Didn't have the impact as the last one with the robot.
A futuristic health clinic keeps patients alive against their will. But why? Vanishing Point is an anthology of short stories that are part science fiction and part existential horror. These are stories with a twist in which the twist is not the point of the story, but a beginning point from which to ask what it means to be alive.
Can't say this had much too enjoy. It wasn't really "bad", it just gave us nothing to really care about.

But as she cleans up the streets of New York, she remains blissfully unaware of the strands of darkness leading off into the darkness of the void. Knull, the creator ...

I like this series. It's sad that it's ending. I think for a concept that never should have worked, it has exceeded expectations.
THE DEATH OF CARNAGE?! Eddie and Carnage's investigation has hardly gone as planned, leaving them at the whims of its mysterious proprietor - a symbiote host Eddie remembers from his days as the King in Black. She has the key to killing Carnage, but the price of ridding the world of him once and for all is costly. Will Eddie be willing to pay it, o...
It's good enough. I do think it feels slightly cheesy at parts.
Level Two.
Edward and Angie begin the adventure of a lifetime as they face the Masterminds’ strange but brilliant real-life puzzles and challenges. But when they realize they are not the only competitors, they will have to ask themselves if they are willing to turn criminal on the gaming company they once worked for and make horrific...
When an ambitious and troubled video game programmer dares to audition for a secret society in the gaming/tech industry, composed of cutthroat, genius masterminds that promise to help their members achieve their wildest dreams, he and his rebellious co-worker find themselves in a gauntlet of real-life puzzles that quickly turn deadly. Are they trul...
It was a nice main story with some nice art. The back up story didn't really do anything for me. Im just giving it a lower grade because it was like 7 bucks for a story that wasn't game changing.

It had some good moments. It does fall into the trap most Cap books do with the cliche's, but I still like it.
A NATION DOOMED! It's a showdown between DOOM and CAPTAIN AMERICA with the fate of Latveria hanging in the balance! As Doom prepares a fatal strike against those who stand against him, a sudden betrayal has Cap on the ropes and questioning everything he thought he knew…
This issue was another entertaining one. This series has had ups and downs, but it usually provides entertainment. I'm not sure what the end game will look like.
“Trick or treat” has never had deadlier stakes as Craig and Jason unknowingly go door to door with this year’s youngest killer. And a high score for G4m3r_K1d means a very bad night for everyone else… Multi-hyphenate talent Tyler Boss (You’ll Do Bad Things) and breakout talent Gavin Fullerton (The Closet) join James Tynion IV and Michael ...
The art wasn't as strong as Noto's last issue, but it still was a solid issue overall.
THE ULTIMATE FANTASTIC FOUR? Now that the Ultimates are using the Immortus Engine to its full capacity, Doom's dream of the Ultimate Fantastic Four may finally be realized…
Even though it's got a decent amount of gore, it's a fun book. I like the premise. I'll be sticking around.
Huck and Marley help people for money. Well, in theory anyway... For some reason, their "help" always seems to involve massive amounts of property damage, a somehow guaranteed collision with the supernatural, and if Marley has his way, a huge body count. They’re the Gunpowder Prophets, and a simple job rescuing a girl from a backwoods cult turns ...
