Somebody gets it
This not am Bizarro story. Bizarro am funny. Bizarro am looney. Bizarro no am evil. Me like old Bizarro, not new Bizarro.
The startling finale of I, Bizarro sees the Man of Steel making his most shocking team-up ever as part of the mind-blowing final battle against the ultimate Bizarro.
Great characterizations and dialogue. Art fell down a bit. Some filler material as well
After the massive battle at the White House, Superman is forced to turn to his sworn enemy Lex Luthor for help in his fight with Metallo. But what does the greatest criminal mind of our lifetime know about the Russian war machine, and just how will Superman use the info to take the fight to Metallo?
Zdarsky's entire run has essentially been Batman creating menaces to save the world from a "Batman gone bad" who wind up as worse menaces than Batman could ever be. Failsafe throws Gotham into turmoil twice already in this run, and yet Bruce is not held accountable, or Batman arrested, when the dust clears. Where is J. Jonah Jameson when we need him, alerting the world to the danger that is Batmanmore
A THRILLING NEW ARC IS HERE... DARK PRISONS BEGINS! Following The Joker: Year One's stunning reveals, Batman must engineer an escape from Zur's prison...but what dark secret does Zur now hold that's a game changer for the Dark Knight and the entire DC Universe?!
Really excellent characterization and also funny in a way that S-M hasn't been before. Great 4 page sequence between Jonah and Ben. Lovely art.
THE MOST SURPRISING SPIDER-MAN STORY OF THE 21ST CENTURY CONTINUES!
Spider-Man faces his first super villain! J. Jonah Jameson's quest to uncover who is really pulling the strings of this new Ultimate Universe leads to a shocking revelation! And New York City welcomes its newest hero...the Green Goblin!

Wow, do I HATE this Catholic religious gobbledygook, issue after issue.
And it's Hell's Kitchen. Not that big an area. Where's Elektra? Where's FOGGY??
A BOOK OF REVELATIONS!
In their first no-holds-barred arc of DAREDEVIL, Saladin Ahmed and Aaron Kuder tore Matt Murdock's world asunder! With those closest to him ensnared by some dangerous and malevolent force, Matt's been left with nothing but questions. IN THIS ISSUE, he finally starts to get some answers from the STRANGEst source of all......
All that chaos, people jumping off bridges, fires, etc, and "no one" has died? Pl-eeez.
Personally, me liked "funny" Bizarro better. There are enough twisted evil villains. Occasional comic relief is not so bad.
The shocking second chapter of the Worst Bizarro Story Ever! Jason Aaron's first time writing Superman sees the Man of Steel trapped in a world gone mad, a Metropolis transformed into the City of Bizarro! While Superman struggles to save the lives of people who despise him, he's also battling the most powerful Bizarro of all...the one inside his ow...
Genuinely funny, great characterization, original, strong art, and even heart-warming.
The Captain's side deal with Solomon is proving to be more curse than blessing! Will even his newfound levels of wisdom help him stop the alien dinosaur invaders called The Auditors from unleashing planetary chaos?
Very confusing. Also unnecessary. I want a Joker who emerged fully formed from the vat, except maybe for that guy who trained him how to fight, which I always wondered about.
The tragic death of the leader of the Red Hood Gang in a vat of chemicals has become the subject of myth...but what is the heartbreaking and gruesome tale of the monster who walked away from that violent birth? And how does it affect Batman's distant future? The Joker Year One begins here!

I am so damn torn with this run.
*Possible theories below*
On a positive note, the addition of Farad Karami’s art has really kept me interested in this run. And, I’ve enjoyed seeing past characters of Matt’s history work their way into these stories.
That being said, I tried to give it a few issues to see what would happen, but we’re in issue #5…WHERE IS more

I have been reading DD since Frank Miller first introduced the Kingpin as Matt's main antagonist back in issue #170, but I am now "crossing" (pun intended) this book off my list. It has officially jumped the shark. All this religious claptrap - the Seven Deadly Sins? Gluttony? Seriously? 2/3 of Americans are overweight or obese, and Gluttony comes for She-Hulk and Matt, somehow suddenly elevated fmore

Visionary writer Jonathan Hickman (HOUSE OF X/POWERS OF X) and acclaimed artist Marco Checchetto (DAREDEVIL) bring you a bold new take on Spider-Man, with this, the debut title of the new line of Ultimate Comics! After the events of ULTIMATE INVASION, the world needs a hero...who will ri...
I was hoping the kids would go away. First of all, how do Clark and Lois suddenly have kids, coinciding with Supes having kids? Also there are about 10 beings with the powers of Supes all guarding Metropolis? Silly. And it was good that Supes got married and had a young (!) son, but this is way too much and leads to a lot of pages filled with filler.
Norah Stone's true form has been revealed, her gateway between worlds is opened, and the invasion of Earth has begun! As the Multiverse's two most powerful families clash above Metropolis, which legacy will Otho-Ra choose? Will the followers of Blue Earth defend their treacherous leader, or their own home? It has all led to this! Three years of Act...
The storyline is slowly starting to grow on me, however…there are still a lot of unanswered questions…ie. How does nobody recognize Matt Murdock, ex-Mayor, lawyer for superheroes, etc???? And if Matt has regained his memory, HOW HAS HE NOT REACHED OUT TO FOGGY YET!?!

I am REALLY tired - not to mention offended - reading another issue or "Father Matt, Exorcist Priest." Trading in his billy club for a crucifix? Going all in on Catholic gobbledygook? And the bad guys are clones sponsored by the government? Wtf? 3 poi ts for the art. Minus one for the story.

Am I mistaken, or did Batman create Failsafe AND Zur to protect the world from himself? So, Bats creates two menaces to the world and to himself to take him down in case he goes 'bat-shit crazy.' Talk about self-inflicted wounds. How is this maniac allowed to operate on the streets?
It's Batman versus The Joker in their most brutal fight of all time. But wait...Batman is also battling a legion of himself! What has Zur done? And who will walk away? The brutal Mindbomb continues!
Half a point deducted because ... Supes flies Lois to the Fortress of Solitude without a coat? Hat? Scarf? It's the arctic! High altitude! High speed! Must be minus 100. Sorry. Lois is dead. Supes killed her.
Superman brings Lois to the Fortress of Solitude for a private interview. Meanwhile, the Russians launch their first assault with their mighty Metallo in hopes of drawing the Man of Steel out into the open. Witness as the power of the people breaks Superman!
Lots of filler.fight scenes we've seen a thousand times before. Where is Elektra? DD's back for weeks and Foggy hasnt noticed? Matt just joined the church recently and Runs it? I missed where Ben Urich (de-aged) owns the Bugle.
Daredevil pounds pavement and breaks bones on a crusade against the upstart gang terrorizing Hell's Kitchen. But that crusade will put Matt face-to-face with his deadliest enemy - and threaten the very souls of those closest to him.

So after going to prison for killing someone, freeing super-villains from prison, being ordered by Spider-Man and others to hang up his billy club, and presumably going through a cleansing of the spirit, what has Daredevil learned? To put on the mask when he wasts to "hurt" somebody. So, nothing,basically. And now that his memory's back, no visit to Foggy? Anyway story was way too mainstream with more

My complaint is with the cynical hyperbolic hype the editors foist upon the readers. Like this one that "sets up the next 24 issues. Do.Not.Miss.It." Or the recent one that was supposed to be the biggest tragedy in 50 years" - and Ms. Marvel died for a month. Editors act like they're on your side, but - spoiler alert - they ain't.
This sets up the next 24 issues of AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. Do. Not. Miss. This.

Where does Elektra fit into all of this? What is the future of Hell's Kitchen? Romance! Intrigue! And, of course, ACTION! All delivered in the Mighty Marvel...
I think (or hope, anyway) that the “somehow” hand wave is just a placeholder with the intent to go more in depth into what actually happened in future issues
This is a review of the entire 14 issue run. Zdarsky sets up great "painting DD in a corner" situations, and then gets him out by walking all over the paint. So, the whole time he thought he was on a mission from God, learned that he was duped, but still convinced himself he was fighting for God in Hell and now is a priest? Nah. The world's leaders were all presumed dead or kidnapped and suddenly more
THE END! But of what? A life? A love? A marriage? Matt Murdock's time as Daredevil? Or the latest and greatest run in one of Marvel's most celebrated sagas? All of the above?

Very well done, excellent characterization of Lex. Also, great art. My main problem - not a small one - is buying the premise. Lex got himself into this situation while trying to concoct a new way to kill Supes, and he put hundreds of thousands of lives in danger to get his attention. Even though no one died (unlikely) he caused massive property damage that will destroy countless lives. And Supes more

Art 10, Story 0.
I have sadly watched this arc go further and further off the rails, and into pseudo-Christian nonsense, and now it's descended into complete incomprehensibility. Not to mention that several dead and buried friends of Matt suddenly reappear on Earth, bodies intact, just taking a marked path back to the land of the living. And Matt single-handedly, even without a corporeal bod more

I took it as the “replaced” friends returning. So the Hand grabbed them, shoved them in hell, and assumed their forms/lives on earth. Matt just released these people. At least, that’s how it made sense to me.
C02 is correct. You need to do a second read through TC. Everything that's happening has been explained. Theres a portal to the underwold that matt entered into and thats what he sends them through
