I give it a 10 on artwork. The story leaves me cold, so I give it a 7.

Bendis' best issue overall since he took over the character. His take on Perry White and Clark Kent remain standouts, the new characters are interesting, the Cat Grant cameo was welcomed, and the main plot of the secret underworld of Metropolis moves along well. The characterization of Guardian was a little odd and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to take it at face value or not. The artwork is incredible, channeling Ed McGuiness and Bruce Timm equally. I'm glad the Lois in hiding thing isn't being strung out too long. more

I never would have picked Bendis to write Superman, and now I am surprised at how much I have enjoyed his first few issues. His takes on the Daily Planet and the city of Metropolis have been refreshing. I am not sure if I like where the overall story is headed, but I do know that I eagerly anticipate the next issue.
The art is a big part of the fun... it is superb.

I'll start with the worst, the art is really weak in large portions of the book and sometimes it can be very distracting. Contrary to many, this was my favorite Hunt for Wolverine series and I really wanted to collect this on trade, but it's hard to justify paying the cover price with such low quality art.

This issue, and maybe the whole story arc, was clearly just a way to streamline Psylocke's backstory so it can be accessible to new readers once the X-Men Universe gets a soft reboot with Extermination, followed by Uncanny X-Men #1. Her body switch story was incredibly convoluted (even for 90's standards), and even though she's been one of my favorites since the 90's and I grew up with Asian body Betsy Braddock, a lot of people found her story too complicated and/or problematic. It's sad that one of the most iconic Asian characters in comics is going away, but seems like for many it's for the best. more

The art in much of the book was so unattractive it distracted me from the story. I found many of the main characters hard to recognize.

The final battle was so big it was difficult for the artwork to convey the scope of it all, and many panels required narration to explain just what you were looking at

The inevitable Hulk Fight was poorly staged, predictable and dull. The characterization of Banner was a one page recap of him being abused as a child. The charterization of Awesome Hulk throws us the new direction of Cho having anger issues of his own, seemingly out of nowhere, attempting to make Cho more of a copy of the original Hulk. The story was almost pointless. As a fan of the original Hulk,it was a big disappointment. more

The art fits the character perfectly. I found the first pages of Ben Reilly talking to himself quite annoying, and I grew to hate every moment that Reilly "talked" to the Jackyl and the Scarlet Spider.

Emotional moments and great/long detective speak. Definitely left wanting more!

Probably the best Batman-Flash team up I've read. The story does a fine job of explaining the things that Batman and Flash have in common, making them natural allies. As a fan of DC's long and complex continuity, I was fascinated by what we saw during the trip on the Cosmic Treadmill. I can't wait to see where this story goes in the next two installments.

It's called Unleashed, and look at the cover. And then read Marvel's tease. There's no new Hulk in this issue, or in the entire series! Marvel's marketing 100% lied. This is an irreparable breach of trust between Marvel and us readers. Hugely disappointing!

While it looks like the She-Hulk might finally appear next issue, the storyline is so decompressed its non existent. The page is littered with clumsy thought boxes. Even competent art can't save this series.

Still waiting for the Hulk... Even though that's the title...

Who thought it would be a good idea to launch a She Hulk comic with no She Hulk in the book until issue 6? Did Marvel want this book to fail? What a waste of time!

Bachalo is the perfect artist for Dr Strange. The story was great, offering insight into the relationship between Wong and Strange.

The artwork was fantastic. The story was predictable to a fault, and the entire storyline as empty as a 1960's JLA. The arc should have lasted two issues, tops. Keep the artist, and get a new writer. I give it a 7.5 just because the art was great.

A waste of time. The content of this book could have been condensed down to five pages or less of the Trinity talking over the new unknown status quo of the DCU. For a monthly book to waste an issue like this is hard for me to understand.

A little plot and dialogue heavy, and not the kind of story arc that you want to use to begin a new series. Batwoman begins her series dropped into a setting we've never seen before, full of characters we don't care about.

I would give it a TEN based on the gorgeous artwork alone. Beautiful superhero comic book. And the story was fun, too.

This book was good. There's a lot in here to digest and a lot of the plot holes have been explained well. This issue shows how Spencer had this all planned out.
Art can be better but I ignored the was art because I was so into the story and I didn't want to miss anything. The material is dense and this book is high on dialogue but good dialogue.

I would give this issue a much higher grade if the artwork were better. The art was inconsistent... good on some pages, weaker on other pages. I found that the art took away from the story. It distracted me. By the way, the story was quite compelling.

The stakes are high, the battle is savage, with the Thunderbolts in terrible danger. I liked the story but the artwork was substandard. I had to look at some panels several times to figure out who was doing what to which person. The fight between the Wrecking Crew and the TBolts was poorly drawn.

The story gets a 9. The art gets a 3.

This is an event that has an intriguing premise. I find myself truly curious as to how this will be resolved, and if we will ever get Captain America restored to the great hero he used to be.

The art was quite good. This artwork is much better than what has been seen in Cap's regular book for the last few issues.

This issue had almost too many moving parts, with too many characters without any characterization. Most of the heroes in the story were interchangeable. And if a reader hasn't been following Cap's book, they may have trouble understanding the plot and the character motivations.

I thought the artwork was great, especially the sequences with the Ray. The story was a lousy way to launch a series. DULL

Wow, I think Hitch is actually trying now.

Quite a bland story. Apparently, back to basics means mutant softball. I give the book points because the art is good. This is what I have a problem with, and why I only give the issue a six: The relationship between Old Man Logan and the rest of the cast. All of the characters act as if Old Man Logan is an old friend, someone they've known for years. They are comfortable around him and treat him like he is Wolverine. But he is not the Wolverine they have known for years. Their Wolverine is allegedly dead. Old Man Logan is from another dimension/timeline, and in that other "world" he killed the X-Men. The cast of this book should treat Old Man Logan like what he is: a mutant they just met, who looks like a dear, dead friend, and happens to be potentially quite dangerous to them. They should feel creeped out by him. I think the book would feel a bit more authentic if the rest of the cast was quite cautious around the new Wolverine, and didn't act like they have shared history together. more

I give this a 9 rating based on the artwork alone. The art job was tough, having to draw various characters and locations throughout time. The artist did a fantastic job. and the story, wasn't as cringe-worthy as previous issues. I liked the art so much it made me try to find the previous work of the artist.

This is most definitely a "back to basics" comic. You could have stopped reading X-Men in 1990 and then picked this book up and have no trouble jumping right back into it. I enjoyed all the character interactions, except for the clumsy danger room sequence. I like the direction the series seems to be heading. The silliest aspect of the book is the new location of the X-Men's headquarters. How long do you think that will last? more

The art was above average.

The pacing, as stated by a previous reviewer, was awkward.

The supporting characters, other than the Original Five, were written strangely out of character, and could have been left out of the book completely.

The ending was especially annoying. I am looking forward to Cullen Bunn getting control of these characters.
