Poignant as well as thrilling.

That was a gut punch. No, two gut punches. But Tomasi writes Batman better than almost anyone, and Mahnke is never less than great. So glad to have two the best back on the Bat.

Poorly paste, and whoever that guy in the costume is he is not Jordan. Personality is all wrong. I miss Vendetti..

Strongest issue in a while, mainly by being unpredictable. Also by not being at all preachy about the failings of the mental health care system. A long overdue return to form.

A bit too much Tell and Don't Show, but generally good, and stronger as it goes along.

Docking a great story a point for relying on the Stupid Scientist trope. Really, he wasn't smart enough to keep the head in another room, or to not taunt the Hulk. Surely everyone knows you don't make the Hulk angry.

Loved the snap, though. Almost as iconic as Thanos's, maybe?

If this were a new series with new characters continuing the legacy of the Green Lanterns, I would like this a lot more. It has a welcome and delightful 2000 AD vibe to it.

But it utterly ignores everything that's been done in the GL books since, I don't know, 1984? No other humans GLs, almost no familiar GLs at all, an even more underdeveloped Hal than usual, and all the work that's been done with the Corps by Johns and Vendetti forgotten. I get that Grant does what he wants, but that doesn't have to come at the cost of losing what everyone else did. more

I think all the pieces are in place. And there are a lot of them. Maybe too many. But I still like this.

Should re-read it all between now and the next issue.

Strong ending that finally ups the ante on the mythic elements of the story, and that clearly changes the status quo for magic in the DCU going forward. Poor Swamp Thing.

Totally accessible for this newb to Spider-Gwen, and totally fun. Very much a work by Seanan McGuire.

Good character stuff, but the plot is really quite padded out. Did we need this to be five parts?

Solid reboot that sets up some new stuff alongside the old and familiar.

A fair sight better than the last issue, if still a little clunky in spots. Great art.

Wow. Wow. Wow. Someone at Paste, IIRC, said that this one would make you cry. And it did. Well done, Brian!!

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.
