DDJamesB reviewed Daredevil #19 Mar 31, 2025
7.0

I liked some of the visuals. There were parts that were good. I just think it fell apart at the end. The whole fallout of the Bullseye/ Foggy choice was just stupid. The conversation with Elektra is just kind of annoying and it leaves Matt in a dumb spot leaving the kids so quickly.

DDJamesB reviewed The Seasons #3 Mar 31, 2025
7.5

I think a great looking and entertaining book. I do like the story being told to an extent. I think Spring Seasons is a type of character I'm not the most fond of, and I do wish they would give us a little more of the Carnival. Overall, it's good. I just feel like it could be more.

It's another beautiful day in New Gaulia but not for Spring Seasons, because she's managed to upset everyone in town. Even her big sister, Winter, is mad at her for making up stories about the Magic Carnival-but now Spring has proof that the new visitors are up to no good!

I'm also not convinced Harry is dead either, as you never can be too sure with Mysterio lingering around in the background.
