Read it for free on Hoopla, and I would say that it might be work getting from the library to see the art full sized, but that it's not worth $25. The art is amazing. The story is...well, is there anything here we haven't seen before? To be fair, since Waid's run ended, that is kind of where the FF has been. Oh, lots of character development with the kids being older and Ben and Alicia, but the stories hit the same beats over and over. And Ross just hits those beats too. At least he's improved as a writer and gets three of the Four's voices right. (His Sue leaves a lot to be desired). But overall, it's just a nice little story, fun and entertaining but not special. more

Not a must read, but charmingly goofy and yet another reminder of why everyone is so glad that the West family is back.

Very scattered, even if I still love how Gronbekk writes Jane.

The story is solid (though Tigra doesn't seem to have much to do). It's the art that moves it from good to great.

Entertaining in a superficial way.

Pure Silver Age fun. Waid writes a great Dick Grayson. But Batman and Robin doing the acrobatics was surprisingly queer. No objection, but that sort of came from nowhere.

As usual, it looks great and seems to be taking forever to get somewhere. And haven't we already done the "Nightwing gets his friends to help" thing?

Fun but I don't know if we need to have God included in the mix.

Got halfway through it and gave up. Too violent, vulgar and cynical to be worth my time. I miss the real Suicide Squad of the Ostrander era.

Really wish I could give this an incomplete. I like what we have so far, but I have no idea where this is going.

Great art and some interesting character bits are hampered by the muddle morality of our hero, who chooses to keep working for the bad guys she wants to stop. And I was really disappointing how little Willow being Jewish actually mattered.

The end of the arc sees Waid returning to form more than he has for years.

A bit jagged in terms of the story, but the art is stellar and to Ewing's credit he makes sure I have some idea who these characters are. (I think I have read one comic with Blue Marvel and one with America Chavez.)

What does this do that the last twenty retellings of Batman's origin didn't? It's not bad. But it's nothing we need at this point.

I am not entirely sure where this goes as part of the whole series. Especially the addition of Trinity. But Perkins's art has never been better, and the narrative here is really gripping. And that final page is just so cool. (Ram V handles old man Hal really well.)

Gorgeous as the art is, the story brings nothing new to the table. Dixon's Robin: Year One was much better. Read that instead.

A reminder that the Bwa-Ha-Ha style of JLI hasn't aged as well as we might have wished. At least the art is great.

Solidly entertaining, with great art (and unlike the Batman '89 comic everyone looks like the actors from the film). But what really makes it sing is how well Vendetti captured Gene Hackman's weird, vaguely cartoony, and surprisingly menacing Lex Luthor.

Really kind of bland, and hits the sort of notes we used to see all the time in Elseworlds, and maybe has 15 pages of story. I really don't get all the raves.

I feel like this should get an incomplete grade. What it does, it does well. But we are kind of in the middle of both the story Kurt was telling in his DC run and the story he introduces here. One of the joys of Astro City used to be that it wasn't driven by continuity the way DC and Marvel are, and I kind of miss that. But like I said, what we do get works very well.

The art is great. Mosley has Ben's voice. But I have no idea what is going on. And yet I keep reading.

Entertaining enough, but the sequence with Dick and young Jon only serves as a reminder than Jon was a lot more interesting as a kid than he's been as a teen.

Lemire's best Marvel work and among his best work of any sort. And remember, Marc Spector is Jewish and this matters to his story!

So very clumsy, way below what I expect from Yang. And why is Batman here already? And just because the custodian is a pig doesn't mean he has to act like one!

I should be annoyed at how little Cates is using from Ewing's seminal run. But Cates is doing too good a job that make me angry.

Give me more!

This is cute. And Crush, at least in Teen Titans, wasn't cute. The character here is okay, but not Crush.

After all that, a letdown. I can't say I actually understood what was going on, or why we needed the secret history of the Banners and Stearnses. At least the art was great (too bad Bennett is a turd) and the character work was good. But in the end, Ewing didn't come close to sticking the landing. Not that it matters since we are reverting to the usual version of the Hulk.

Instantly forgettable

Delightful Kirbyesque romp, though I am not sure why Betty is here. Love how Ewing writes the Surfer.
