Giantjester reviewed Flash #30 Apr 26, 2014
A good start to a run with an issue that introduces a lot of important aspects but manages to remain an issue that primarily consists of exposition. A good start.

Giantjester reviewed All-New X-Men #25 Apr 10, 2014
While the art was amazing on its own, some of the artistic swaps were too drastic and just served to take the reader out of the story.
While the mini-comics (featuring Kitty/Peter and Logan/Jean) were quite amusing, they should have been placed at the end of the issue after the main story had concluded. The story was unrelated and just felt out of place where it was.
The art more

Giantjester reviewed Nightcrawler #1 Apr 10, 2014
While I really liked the narration at the start of the issue during the fight with Wolverine, the aftermath of the battle seemed to focus too much on Wolverine's current situation rather than the person this series is about.
The art was pretty decent but nothing particularly special. The attack on Amanda's home felt very lacklustre and there wasn't much of a threat. The enemy chosen als more

Giantjester reviewed Ultimate Comics Spider-Man #200 Apr 3, 2014
Beautiful art throughout (with a slight exception for the normally brilliant Sara Pichelli) with a very enjoyable issue.
A good transition between the end of Cataclysm and the upcoming Ultimate ongoings. Sets the scene and leaves you wanting more

Giantjester reviewed Veil #2 Apr 3, 2014
Rucka maintains the great feel of the first issue but fails to really add any new twists to this issue. Still a solid (and necessary) issue and I have high hopes for the rest of the limited series but not a particularly exciting issue
A conjuring doesn't work out as planned, and one man's life is in danger . . . but when you have the powers of the devil at your fingertips, how bad can it get? Double crossed and angry, the mystery man is on the hunt . . . and Veil is his target.

Giantjester reviewed All-New X-Factor #5 Mar 29, 2014
