My same thoughts.
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...
RATED T
Solid anthology. All the stories were fun twisted holiday stories.

I'm still not sure how the Bloom solved all the worlds wars and problems, but this book was pretty cool. It has me intrigued and some of the bloomed people looked pretty gnarly.
43% of the cells within a healthy human body belong to something other than the human host. Microbiomes, invasive bacteria, fungal and viral agents, and something else, something... more.
When the BLOOM happened, humanity was changed forever, transformed by symbiotic fungal megasystems that infected their bodies.

It was pretty solid and then kind of went off the rails in the last few pages. I'm still intrigued, but I'm going to want a tighter story.
Writer Scott Hoffman (Nostalgia, Wag) of Scissor Sisters fame teams up with artist Alberto Ponticelli (Frankenstein: Agent of S.H.A.D.E., Goodnight Paradise, Orc Island) for a sci-fi/horror mystery that pushes the limits of the grotesque.

Really solid issue 1. The visuals are the selling point, but it also feels like a grounded batman mystery.
Set during the early years of Batman's career, Batman: Dark Patterns delves into four mysterious cases as he attempts to cement his place as Gotham City's protector while the city itself ?ghts back against him. This is the Dark Knight Detective at his most stripped-down core, a man relying on his wits, his skills, and little else as he tackles some...

Another solid issue that adds another layer to an already good story.
In a desperate bid to free herself of this new "curse," Theresa finds herself thrown into the Unseen World once again.
Delving deeper into the mysterious realm, Theresa uncovers secrets that will prove vital to her understanding of this power... but also finds herself stalked by a Dark Figure whose presence grows increasingly sinister.
Still not the biggest fan of the art, but this story is good enough.
BAPTISM BY FIRE!
As Johnny Blaze is still learning to live with his new normal after the events of GHOST RIDER: FINAL VENGEANCE, something new and sinister has begun to stir! Something more bloodthirsty than anything Johnny Blaze has ever known - something that eats souls and Spirits alike...and it's HUNGRY.
RATED T+
It's a type of story that's been done before with Peter facing his biggest failures, but it's more entertaining than the last 2 issues were.
THE 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN CONTINUES!
• Spider-Man finds himself face-to-face with CYRIOS, SCION OF CYTORRAK!
• Cyrios represents the inevitability of time and takes Spider-Man on a heartbreaking tour through Peter Parker's past AND future in excruciating detail.
• How many deaths will Spider-Man spend trying to alter his...
Not the absolute best, but still a wonderful issue. All 3 stories were good. One was a little too short, but the rich guy one and the spaceship one were pretty cool.
How fragile this tapestry of reality is, yes? What happens when you pull at the lone, loose thread that tethers together the concept you call "human consciousness"? What perceptions will be the first to fall as time and space gives way to the endless cascade of the fourth and fifth dimensions beyond? Can your quaint sense of self handle the unravel...
At this point I'm mainly here for the art. The story is ok. Good enough to keep going.
The love affair heats up as the samurai and the gunslinger spend their nights pressed together and their days avoiding the cult of warriors out to kill them. MacRaith gets another clue on how to activate the path off the island, and we introduce another tribe hiding deep in the mists. Falling in Love on the Path to Hell is stabby, shooty, an...
It didn't hook me as much as issue 1. I still had some fun with it though.

Face the righteous fury of THE HOLY TERROR!
Survive the creeping horror of THE NIGHT MAYOR!
Escape the twisted justice of A KILLER COP!
Trapped in a town out for blood. At each other's throats. Scared half to death. The body count goes up as the sun goes down!
...
Grade A comic that gets you invested in the characters, looks great and keeps you wanting more.
Kasia isn't just trying to figure out who killed her friend, she is trying to avenge the death of someone with whom she shared a passionate, complicated, heart-wrenching love affair. The ballad of Johnny and Kasia takes an unflinching look at intimacy challenged by secrecy, disability, and fame. But at the heart of their romance lies a dark, deadly...
Sad this is almost over. It's grounded, it's entertaining, it has emotion. It's an all around great read.
Things go sideways in a hurry when the drunken and uninvited jocks decide they don't like the look of our misfit friends. Based on true stories that changed the lives of two damaged kids forever.
Another fun issue. It's enjoyable. Its a little repetitive from page to page, but it does provide good entertainment and another layer to the story.
More animal horror from the masters of Pet-sploitation! Elsie is reunited with an old friend in the creepy shack deep in the rabies-infested forest. Is this place a sanctuary at long last? Or a house of dark secrets? And what exactly are the cats living here hiding from Elsie? Pray she never finds out!
A beautiful to look at comic. I never saw the original movie, but this was enjoyable with no background knowledge.
Mini-Series Finale. The Eyes of a Demon! Behold! The final confrontation between Frankenstein and his creation! But who is the real monster?
This series has been pretty basic for a long time. I liked the shift covering for Miles parts, but the last few issues feel very similar. Miles feels bloodlust, controls it and has the same inner dialogue over and over.
NEW SUIT, NEW PROBLEMS!
BLACK PANTHER IS SPIDER-MAN'S ONLY HOPE! Does Miles Morales have what it takes to pass T'Challa's grueling tests in far-away WAKANDA?! And who is web-slinging around New York City masquerading as Spidey in Miles' absence?!
Rated T
I had some fun with it. A lot the suspects don't really make sense or intrigue me. I really just hope it's Luke Cage.
WHO IS THE ALL-NEW VENOM?
The smiling, swashbuckling spider-hero New York loves to hate to love is back - and more fun-loving than ever! That's right, it's... Wait, it's VENOM?! An all-new host is taking the symbiote in a whole new direction - but who? It could be the Journalist...the Terrorist...the Sidekick... or even the Mayor... We're...

It was a pretty well told story for what it was. It just wasn't very flashy and didn't really progress the story much.
WHO ARE THE ULTIMATES? A NEW STORY ARC BEGINS!
Perfect jumping-on point for the uninitiated! The aftermath of the explosive last issue - including the loss of a major member! Join the Ultimates in their secret HQ as they regroup and launch their bold new plan to change the world!
Rated T+
I didn't like this as much as the first two. I liked the beginning, but the second half was really generic and just. Lot of talking between spirits.
FIRE AND WATER!
Johnny Blaze has done and seen a lot of things in the Marvel Universe - but there's one place he's never been...ATLANTIS! And if you thought we didn't know about all of the sea creatures in the deep, just wait until you learn about the existence of the ATLANTEAN OCCULT!
Rated T+
It was a little corny. Didn't really pay off much of the journey we've had along the way. I did like the Old Man Dylan part and I was really intrigued by the ending, but it really didn't send us off to the next series with a great issue.
WHO IS THE LAST VENOM STANDING?
There is just one battle remaining in the war for control of the Venom symbiote...and the victory leaves both host and symbiote forever changed! The time is nigh to end the war, decimate all the forces arrayed against them, and set the stage for an all-new Venom the likes of which no one has ever seen!
...
It's just lame and corny. Nothing really exciting.
THE 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN CONTINUE!
Spider-Man, one death down, faces the next SCION OF CYTTORAK! That's right, the god Spider-Man faces is the patron of JUGGERNAUT! Juggernaut is about ten times more powerful than Spider-Man with only a fraction of Cyttorak's power! To quote a wise philosopher... "Uh-oh."
Rated T
Well written wand interesting but pretty predictable and didnt really deliver a solid ending.
An FBI agent from the cult crime beat and a woman with a past linked to the Satanic Panic are drawn into a terrifying hunt for an insane killer hiding in the shadows of the underworld. Can you ever escape your past, or are all your bad decisions just more ghosts to haunt you, wherever you go? Houses of the Unholy is a riveting horror thrill ...
The worldwide phenomenon based on the hit Shudder TV series comes to comics in a star-studded five-issue anthology series that will SCARE YOU TO DEATH.
In the debut issue, CHRIS BURNHAM (DIE!DIE!DIE!, NAMELESS) terrifies with a tale of trick or treaters who are taught what happens when you mess with the wrong house.
