Generally good but would be a lot better if there were less narration and more dialogue.

And is Tynion really about to destroy the Green?

About what would expect in the current series, where the action is almost beside the point. The point being, the Hulk not only wreaks havoc with things, he does so with people in new ways. And man, what an ending!

Fun. Just plain fun. I am so happy DC managed to bring back Ray Palmer.

For the record, I am not interested in Tom King's PTSD Comics and think that character deaths are gratuitous. So I am impressed that Lodbell managed to make some lemonade from that lemon, addressing both Heroes in Crisis and the lingering threads in here well. I like that Bruce and Jason were able to make peace again, even if I think that Bruce will never trust Jason again.

But I hope next time out, we can just focus on what seems to be a really good storyline. more

I have no idea where this is headed, and I sort of think that it won't need five issues to get there. But the art is amazing and the script hides a lot of flaws with the plot.

Points off for BMB decompression and what might be a misleading cliffhanger. But I love the art and love how well Bendis gets Superman month in and month out. It's rare to have a Supes who doesn't think with his fists, and who can actually be strategic. I want more.

There is an interesting premise in here somewhere. I will give this a second issue to work. But Williamson doesn't entirely seem to get Starfire or Cyborg.

Ia it too much to have wished that this series didn't get reconnected with the broader Marvel Universe so soon? I mean, it's still great and all, but I like it better when I don't have to know what else is going on at Marvel.

A good solid ending that is as open ended as the TV show's finale and also a good farewell to a comic series that ran longer than the TV show.

Maybe a bit too much time with Diana Prince, and do we really need two sex scenes? But overall a great lead-in to the finale next month.

Extra points for Hawkworld nostalgia.

Great new artist in Woods, same great writer, and a new direction that feels totally earned.

Bendis and Reis's impressive run continues. Bendis's Superman is as spot-on as ever.

What scares the Hulk? Not Banner. We know what scares Banner. But the Hulk? What could possibly scare him?

But this is a horror story, and usually a good horror story isn't about our fears alone. It's about the fears of the characters. So Al Ewing looked into the Hulk's past and his present, and found the two things that scare him. And as a result this is both a great issue and a great stepping stone for what's to come. more

How did no one ever have Swamp Thing and Amanda Waller collide till now?

Pacing issues hold back an otherwise great comic.

Generally good but there is just something not quite there yet.

Very good penultimate issue of the Dark Horse era and possibly of all things classic Buffy.

Why aren't you reading this series? Why isn't anyone?

A bit scattershot, but generally entertaining and fun and gripping, with some interesting surprises.

Another superb issue, though it might be good if there were a supporting cast. And Hawkworld fans might be in for a treat.

Given that I only got this to see what is going on with Tim Hunter version 4.0, I was generally surprised with how interesting it was, seeing as how I am not much on Sandman, or Si Spurrier. The Dreaming and House of Whispers spinoffs look interesting. The Tim Hunter stuff, though, was the least interesting section here.

For years I heard complaints about the decompressed storytelling of Brian Michael Bendis. And sure enough, this is a very decompressed story. But I kind of love it. Bendis writes such a great Superman that he makes up for everything about this issue that shouldn't work. Well, maybe not his take on the Flash. There's only half an issue of story here, but all of it grabs me.

And who could fail to love the art? more

Ironically, after a few issues of this arc that felt padded, this one managed to feel rushed despite the extra pages (which are at least included at the usual $4 price). Overall, there were a fair number of good moments in this issue and this arc, but Vendetti is not going out on the highest note possible.

Still, it's been a great 51 issues (including the Rebirth special), and I will miss this specific version of the Corps. I wonder where the rest of the Four Corpsmen (and Simon and Jessica) will land when Hal gets the spotlight to himself once more in the Grant Morrison series. more

Good but a notch lower than last time because Walter Langkowski is not that interesting.

12 pages of high octane action squeezed into...20? As has sometimes been the case, the bimonthly schedule has led Vendetti to pad things a bit too much. Never mind that Hector Hammond is just too effective. Still, I do want to see how it all wraps up.

A few Bendisims aside, this is yet another strong Superman tale from a writer that I thought had nothing to bring to Metropolis. And I think this approach plays to Bendis's strengths (if not necessarily Superman's). And oh that art! Gleason at his absolute best, which is saying something.

A good but very talky start. But given that Tynion is in the same mode as his run on Detective, odds are this will get flowing soon enough. And I love this cast.

As usual, the bits and pieces are great, and for once I sort of know what's going on. But with the story more than halfway to the end, I wonder if we will ever get all the pieces connected. And where did Angela Spica go?

It's all talk, but it's really good talk as Gage (and Joss) finally get on track.
