I felt like we were on such a roll with the last few issues that when this one started, I wasn't feeling the ghost cat thing. By time the issue ended, it had me hooked and ready for the next.
Feral #20
Lucky the Tomcat is now king to the Pet City cannibals and no one can touch him thanks to his killer attack dog, Moosh.The indoor cats only have one choice: ESCAPE PET CITY OR DIE! Elsie has a plan but will anyone go with her after everything she's done?Nothing will be the same after this issue. Don't miss out!
A solid issue. I just feel like it didn't have the punch the earlier issues had. Still a fun, entertaining book.
Absolute Batman #16
Part two of our Absolute Batman/Absolute Wonder Woman story- Bruce Wayne is on a desperate hunt to help his friend Waylon, now transformed into a monstrous crocodile roaming the sewers, consumed with a deadly hunger. Batman's last option for a cure is to turn to a god for help...but will he have to descend into the depths of hell to get it?
It was a good issue overall. I really enjoyed the Elvis backup finale. The main story had a good conversational showdown between Black Hat and DOT
The Department of Truth #35
Lee Harvey Oswald has unleashed the Department of Truth's most unhinged agents to bring in Cole Turner by any means necessary. Caged in by nightmares from all sides, Cole chooses the devil he knows. Cole chooses the Star-Faced Man.Also in this issue: superstar creators Scott Snyder and Joshua Hixson conclude their history-making Elvis epic!
It had some wild moments, but the story was pretty basic. It was fun and violent.
Punisher: Red Band #5
Frank Castle's return to the Marvel Universe is cemented at last, as virtuosos of violence BENJAMIN PERCY and JULIUS OHTA's symphony of slaughter reaches its killer crescendo! HOW WAS FRANK PLUCKED FROM WEIRDWORLD?! WHY?! AND WHAT TWISTS AND TURNS ARE YET TO COME IN THIS SENSES-SHATTERING STORY?!
It's fun. It's not going to change the world, but it does it's job of entertaining.
Wrestle Heist #2
In the second issue of WRESTLE HEIST we reach the best part of any heist tale - putting the team together! Our heroes reach out to another wrestler wronged by evil promote Buddy Hansen to rob him blind at the biggest show of the year - but of course, nothing comes easy as obstacles arise! From three-time Eisner nominee Kyle Starks (Sexcastle, Rock ...
There were some really strong parts, but the whole Immortus character was pretty corny for the most part. I think this series would benefit if it was more serious.
Ultimate Endgame #2
THE END HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN! The heroes of the Ultimate Universe - including Spider-Man, America Chavez, Killmonger and Doom - desperately search for a way to stop the Maker. Plus, Iron Lad makes a stunning and heartbreaking discovery that could change the fate of the entire Ultimate Universe forever. Don't miss this pivotal chapter that will leave...
I've never read a book I liked and hated so much at once. The first half was good. I was really enjoying it. Then it just went off the rails. I was confused, and didn't really find it worth my time by the end.
High Strangeness: 2001 #4
Inspired by firsthand paranormal encounters at the liminal edges of human perception, SpectreVision co-founder and real-life experiencer Daniel Noah joins acclaimed writer Cecil Castellucci (Shade the Changing Woman) and rising star Chloé Stawski (Sapphic Pulp) for our fourth incursion into the unifying forces behind startling phenomena-UFOs, haun...
It's an issue that feels like a large portion of this run. It's just ok. It's not bad, but this series has been consumed by scenes of just talking while fighting.
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #42
THE ULTIMATE UNIVERSE COLLIDES WITH THE 616! Sometimes, it takes TWO SPIDER-MEN to do whatever a spider can. But Peter Parker and Miles Morales together might not be enough to overcome what archfoe RABBLE has in store! Don't miss this epic grand finale to the Rabble saga!
The last story, which was a tale about AI on society was pretty cool. The first one was just ok, of that. The second story was similar to the first, but I've noticed that this volume of Cruel Universe has a lot of political type stories. I like it much better when it stays more scifi.
EC Cruel Universe: 2 #7
"Warm flesh! Cold technology! As an astronaut, you have collided both together in an unwieldy alliance to survive the harsh vacuum of space. Now, as you wait to see whether all of your precious airlocks and heat shields will keep you from getting freeze-dried by the very cosmos you yearn to explore, never fear-there's an all-new issue of CRUEL UNIV...
It's pretty good. Maybe I'm missing the punch due to the long delay. I kind of forgot of the gas mask man was really integral in the last issue. Feels like all of a sudden he's doing major things.
Dust To Dust #7
No one is safe as the town of New Hope explodes with revelation and immolation. Can Sarah and Sheriff Meadows hold on until help arrives? Grab a root and growl!
A little confused by the end. The story as a whole was ok I guess. Might need a reread to fully feel the impact of what the creators were trying to accomplish.
Blink and You'll Miss It #5
It's the stunning conclusion of the mind-bending mystery from award-winning writers Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan!
After a lifetime apart, Jesse Harmon and Melody Nelson have finally reunited-not a moment too soon, either, as they prepare to take on the dark forces that have kept Perennial Harbor in its grip.
Will t...
A super generic story. Don't know what else to say.
Amazing Spider-Man Annual #1
RAPID RESPONDERS! SPIDER-MAN shows new speedster RAPID around the friendly neighborhood! Rapid has A LOT to learn about the super-hero game! But the training wheels come off when SCREWBALL live streams death and destruction across NYC!
Another twilight zone, another comic that starts decent and has an ending I could care less about.
The Twilight Zone #4
This all-new Twilight Zone anthology series continues with standalone stories by some of the best creators in comics today! Each issue is a fresh tale in the vein of the iconic original television series that's captivated audiences for over 60 years. And like the show, these stories will be revealed in terrifying black and white! THIS ISSUE: The sc...
I missed this book. Surprisingly, I didn't feel like I couldn't remember what happened. We are diving right back in and it's quite the return.
The Nice House by the Sea #7
The residents of the House on the Lake and the House by the Sea were both told the same thing: that they were the only humans who survived a global apocalypse. But while Walter, the mysterious and seemingly all-powerful alien master of the Lake House, chose to save the people he'd grown fond of, the Sea House was assembled by another of his species...
I liked a decent amount of this issue. Normans thoughts were interesting, but it's also a little redundant. Could care less about the goblin slaying and the reveal of the mastermind.
Amazing Spider-Man #21
DAWN OF THE GOBLIN SLAYERS PART TWO! The sins of Norman Osborn come back to haunt him and everyone he cares about! Norman and the other Spiders THROW DOWN against Hobgoblin and his Goblin Slayer army! And one of the Spiders makes the ultimate sacrifice!
This was the most Ice Cream Man like issue. I'm giving it an 8.5 at the time of reading. I think I might reread. I can tell I'm already starting to go over it in my mind. My grade might be too low, but this comic was so different I found it hard to rate. Not sure how I fully feel about it.
Assorted Crisis Events #8
LIFE IN THE GUTTER! A homeless comic book artist falls into the gutters - literally! Can Wally find his way back to life and reality, or is he lost in the blank white space between panels forever?
I'm not sure that it lived up to everything I imagined, but it delivered an impactful ending. What a series. This was just a fantastic story.
Everything Dead & Dying #5
SERIES FINALE
Death comes to Caverton.
A beautiful looking issue. Was a bit of a recap issue, but still a good issue that brings more trouble to Simon.
Redcoat #16
1909: PART TWO. Simon's immortal secret is about to be exposed, but the consequences will be as unexpected as the villainous threat to America. Desperate to unlock the truth behind his power, Simon seeks out one of the remaining Founding Fathers...and is shocked by who he meets.
Lots of different things happening. Possible twists, a hero? Well see what happens. The art was really great in this one.
Exquisite Corpses #9
The Groundskeeper's job is to keep order in the playing field. Killers must be kept in bounds, and civilians under control. But the survivors of Oak Valley have no intention of making the Groundkeeper's job easy... TYLER BOSS (YOU'LL DO BAD THINGS) and VALENTINE DE LANDRO (BITCH PLANET) rejoin JAMES TYNION IV (THE DEPARTMENT OF TRUTH, W0RLDTR33) an...
So I liked this issue. I like the flashbacks. The only thing that was a bit of a downer is the person's reaction to her revenge. I get she ultimately got it, but for what she went through and what was promised, I think his reaction shouldnt have been as weak.
Devil on My Shoulder #2
They tried to kill her, but they failed. Now the five boys that tortured, abused, and tormented her have debts in her ledger, and she's coming to collect. And her vengeance will be absolute. And it will be glorious. The blood-soaked revenge story continues...
A new dark horror series from the creators of Where Monsters Lie Kyle Starks ...
