Till now, this series, by having one and two part stories, avoided Vendetti's tendency to pad things out the way he did in Hal and the GLC. That tendency rears its head this month, not ruining the story but making me wish it could be an issue shorter.

Entertaining, but starting to feel a bit lighter and more disposable that it has. The Su sisters are not nearly are interesting as Artemis and Bizarro.

Brad Walker isn't Doug Mahnke. I shouldn't hold that against him, but after Mahnke, everyone at DC outside of Hitch and Gleason seems a bit bland.

Otherwise, a good start to the new arc, if perhaps a bit too rushed and crowded.

I know this is flawed, and it could have taken two issues instead of four to get us to this place. But I am still liking this book, and what Bendis is doing with the entire Kent family. Despite Jon being seven years older, he still has an air of innocence about him that works well. And the art remains the art, since I don't think Reis can do a bad page.

I ma not ready to say that this supersedes the PAD era as "Greatest Hulk Series." But certainly Ewing is swinging for the fences and connecting every time, and it seems he's got a huge master plan.

Aside from telling a great story and making the Devil Hulk a fascinating character, Ewing is expertly taking elements from all over. This issue alone revisits the Hulk's origin, brings back a charactger we probably haven't seen since the PAD run (in the most unusual way), goes back to the Herb Trimpe era for a twist we probably didn't expect (though maybe fans of more recent Hulk runs aren't surprised)and even tosses in some hulk-dogs. And all of it works! more

McGuire settles in more and more with each issue, and I loved the set piece at the end. Did we actually see a hero saving people's lives? That doesn't happen nearly enough.

Best stories: Snyder, Bendis, Johns, Smith

Weakest stories (none of which were bad): King, Dini, Arkham Knight

Biggest takeaways: Dick Grayson needs to be Dick Grayson again. King might actually get Batman and most of the cast but might not get how to write a comic. The best Batman writers are also incredilby humanistic. Ralph and Sue are still part of the DCU. DC has the best artists it's ever had, but NEal Adams isn't one of them anymore. more

Maybe 15 pages of story, but really good story nonetheless.

A bit more diffuse than previous issues, though the stuff on Earth is really start to sizzle.

Looks great, but kind of forgettable. Bring back China Mieville!

Mildly confusing, especially that ending. But I love the idea of Superman being forced into dealing with things that he can't solve with super-powers. And of him and Lois being a team.

Wow.

Though if gamma people don't die, what about the vast number of Marvel characters with one-off hulouts over the decades?

Why are there only two critics reviews?

At long last, things are moving as the crossover fades from view. Lots of fun.

How did we get here anyway? And who's Wingman. I liked it but I want some answers.

Good story. Stellar art.

A tad decompressed but still one of DC's best comics.

I didn’t see THAT coming.

So gripping and chilling and smart. Love the acknowledgement of Ross's three funerals. And love how it's clear that the bad guy here is Banner, not unlike how he was used in Jason Aaron's nearly forgotten run on the book.

Slightly less amazing than the first two issues, since we trade the outright weirdness of Mars woth the familiar ground of J'Onn arriving on Earth. But still amazing.

Another solid issue with strong art and good character play, but it does spin its wheels a bit.

Points off for what has become something of a hackneyed plot, and therefore a weak twist. Points restored for not killing Leslie after all, for the art, and for the firm restatement of Batman's mission.

Very intriguing first part.

Somewhat abrupt and disjointed ending to the arc. And who IS Wingman?

A bit decompressed, but otherwise great, with stellar art.

DC's best series? If not, it's close.

Aging up Jon is still not a great idea, but the execution of the idea has been really good.

Taken as a series of vignettes, Mythology has been amazing. Taken as a story, the verdict is still out. But man that is great art.

A point off for Batman exploding one ear of his cowl and still having two ears. Is there an ear dispenser in there?

A great thrill ride otherwise.

Did the critics read the same comic I did? The story was bland and undermined the art and script.

I love every individual issue, but does it add up to anything but a 24 issue setup for spinoffs DC might not greenlight?
