Yeah, no doubt, delays impacted the flow of thi run significantly. Them, and lack of real promotion from DC, who were too busy trying to market crap like Heroes in Crisis or Batman #50 instead.
Well. That was bad.
Like actually bad.
Terrible even.
Alfred is dead for no reason. And it just didn't feel like it. No one seems to mourn him. What exactly happened to the batfamily? Are they okay?
So, Selina and Bruce got married. Yay.
But my grodd was this a slow and terrible run. And I'm glad it is over. If 35 issues of this were this slow more
The stunning conclusion to "City of Bane" is here! How will Flashpoint Batman be vanquished from our dimension? What will become of Gotham Girl now that she's betrayed all she knows? How will the Bat team cope without Alfred? Will Catwoman stick around? Who will rebuild Gotham City? Is Batman ever going to be Batman again? The event of the summer n...
Prelude:
Doomsday Clock started in 2017 and now, two years later the twelfth issue is finally here. Let's see how Johns goes landing this series after so many delays.
The Good:
Wow, this is a lot to unpack.
I really like the resolution with the Watchmen characters. It feels right in a weird way.
Gary Frank's art is utterly amazing.
The absolute more
This is it! The final showdown between Dr. Manhattan and Superman shakes up the DC Universe to its very core! But can even the Man of Steel walk out from the shadow of Manhattan?
I've said this in any other DC review I've had about bendis and Tom king, DC has no plan it seems. Doomsday clock could have changed the company for the better, but DC was too impatient to allow Johns to right the ship
Yeah, if DC actually supported Doomsday Clock and planned around it, maybe promote it a bit more than this ending might've stuck. But who knows at this rate.
Prelude:
Bendis didn't get off to much of a good start in the first issue of Legion of Super-Heroes. Let's see if he can turn that around.
The Good:
The worldbuilding is a tad interesting.
Sook's art is pretty good here.
The Bad:
Wow, everyone still sounds the exact same.
Speaking of... Bendis-Speak.
That cliffhanger is... stupi more
It's been one thousand years since anyone has seen the oceans of the Earth, but with Aquaman's original trident recently discovered, a chase to control Earth's future tears across the galaxy. All this and the reunion you'd never thought you'd see! Another DC sci-fi epic into the far-flung future like you've never seen before!
There is good thing with this issue and some less good ... Maybe a little rushed.
Festival the good things.
Firstly the fact that Jack Gallows was in the book but isn’t the punisher. I didn’t mind because I didn’t read the previous punisher 2099, and I when I read his backstory I find it to easy to have one copied on Frank Castle’s one.
So I sens early in the book that he wa more
The future has arrived, but world peace certainly hasn't! In fact, with the streets of Nueva York more crime-ridden than ever, who will rise up to defend the vulnerable population from the corruption? Looks like it's up to Punisher 2099 to clean up the block - the only question is, who's behind the mask?
Don't miss out on your glimpse into the ...
I find you harsh. I was expecting something aweful béa que of the user notation.
But in truth this wasn’t bad.
I really love the Gotham world. I really love mordru been a strong foes as in JSA (I never licked the fool version).

I was a fan of the first attempt of the writer as a Gorilla Comics issue.
I'm so happy that Image edit it again.
So not much change between both issue 1 (Yeah I still have the old ones.
The panel are still the same but still really strong work. The only change is the colloring part.
But both are god.
What happen don't change too. So this is pretty much the same comics. But more

After the third issue I expected to see a new arc beggin in this issue. One that will help me decide if I like or not Ahmad. But this is a transitional issue. A very good one.

I continue to don't like the cover artist. Seriously why Garron don't do it ?

Cover - I love Bachalo, but it's not is best work. I understand the link with the story. 1/2
Story - It's interesting. I had trouble recognizing Armor once she cut her hair. I put that on the writer because I had to wait for Glob to tell her name. Before that I had no clue who she was. So I read again all the canteen moment. I also was disturbe by the way Paige Speak. She didn't have this sou more

Rated T+
Cover - They change the cover because I have Thirteen more close of the girl. Protecting her from guns. And I find that related to the situation, and very nicely done. 2/2
Writing - I try to stay focus but this story wasn't that much original. Thirteen accept the kid then try to give it to someone else. The kid run away, Thirteen catch her and that help them to stay hidden when the bad guys d more
Tasked with smuggling the savior of humanity through thousands of miles of religious cults, mutant tribes, war zones, sunken cities, and cybernetic mafias, the woman known only as Thirteen does what any sane person would: try to get out of doing it. But the mystery of High Level calls whether Thirteen likes it or not.
I love Remi. But this issue was disappointing. Festival it's the last one. Seriously ?
Then there is the Ending ... I don't even understand what he try to say with the earth behind the moon. Are we in another planet ?
And I don't like that her friend will never been avenge.

Ok maybe it's because I'm french, but I don't understand much of it.

Damn that was another great issue. A powerfull storytelling with strong character.

For those about to shred, we salute you! Magnum Khaos is one step closer to enslaving our planet, and the only hope for Brooticus lies within the newest member of the band!
So with this issue I more kean to let another shoot at Wilson.
She use well the supporting characters.
It's not a very good issue, but not a bad one.
Cover - The regullar. Nice and somewhat related. 2/2
Writing - I like how Wislon write this story. She use well each character. 3/3

Wonder Woman's mother is missing-and so is Aphrodite's son! Together, they'll turn the world upside down to find them...if the world doesn't get turned upside down by a pack of wayward Titans first! By far the biggest survivors of the decimation of Olympus have taken up residence in Rocky Mountain National Park, and they're not moving!
So I trust that this was the part one and 66 was a part two.
But no it's a part two. No sweet. I understand it anyway. It was not very good, but not bad easer. Better than the first issue of Wilson.
Cover - Nice & related 2/2
Writing - It was interesting even if I don't like that both olympus & thermiscara was lost again. It's a runing joke. 2.5/3

I really like this arc, and I'm sad it's the last one. For me the team finally made sense in this arc.

After a issue I didn't like at all, the story succeed to take me back on the road.
Cover - The variant. Not related. And a little off. 0.5/
Writing - So good, because he have to catch up for the previous issue and give me the need to take the last. 3/3
Arts - So much fantastic panel. It's a true blockboster with action in each turning page. So good. 3/3
Feeling - Great no more
Crane's in a tricky situation in a Damascus poker room-there are guns at his head, and two million dollars of bribe money at stake. The cash could grant him access to the ancient ruins of Palmyra, and to the secrets of the scroll. Elsewhere, a blood ritual swears a new leader into power.
I was more pleased than I fear. But it was a little weird too. I think I'm not intersted in this story. But not because of his quality, just because I don't like this uchrony.
Cover - So 70's ^^ But the art party gallery was too. So related. And not bad. 1.5/2
Writing - Well made. I love the start so much like Star Trek ^^ 2/3

ENTER THE AGE OF X-MAN!
X-Man has created a utopia for mutants...a utopia where no one knows love. Thankfully, a hero rises up to lead the rebellion against this way of life and teach the ways of family and romance, and he goes by the name...EN SABAH NUR?! Join Apocalypse and his rebel X-Tracts as they strive to teach the world to love again!
This one I read it with apprehension. I wasn't convinced by Ahmed work on the Exiles to say the lest. And if the two first Miles Morales : Spider-Man issues was better, I was disappointed by the end of his first arc.
And to be fair Wilson was big shoes to fill even if her last issues wasn't that great.
So I was pretty impressed by the respect Ahmed show in the first part of his story.
r/>This is a perfect enty point for new reader with a reminder of Kamala's origines. And they even mention the time before Secret Wars (Should have they forget about that ?)
The story is good. I even like how the father speak of Kamala in front of the reality of her life.
I also totally understand why her mom tell her secret to her father.
But then their was the ending. I expected something like it (Not entirelly but close to this).
I'm not happy with this ending. In one hand that can be a mislead, with her true parents somewhere else. Or a error. Because for one we know the story of her grand-mother. So I would have tolerated one of them been a alien. But not both, especially her mother.
Cover - Great, but not rellated. 1/2
Writing - That was good. Nicely made. I think Ahmed succeed to have Kamala, Bruno & Nakia's Spirit. I hope to see Zoe and Mike again too. But it seem Ahmed has other plan. I will wait to see where the ending lead. For now I let him the benefit of the doubt. 3/3
Arts - Jung and Vlasco did great. Not in all page, but most of them. Kamala & Nakia's face in closer look are very beautifull.3/3
Feeling - It's a Mixed one, but in the good area. 1.5/2 more
MS. MARVEL IS BACK!

At first I find it more like what I expect from a Doctor who story. Love the sheep runing gag or the moment Thirteen talk about Donna (Without telling her name sadly).
But then it was not very interesting and the ending was a little dumb, and expected.

I wanted to give it a try. It wasn't bad, but a lot of "déjà vu".
I like Alice more than the rest of her "familly". I find interesting that the skrull want to screw up a earth plan to expose them even if I though their was already in motion just after Secret invasion.

It was dark. Yeah, it's a prison so I cannot expected less than those. But it was weird too.
Not only because character are change. Or that Moonstone was there and on uncanny. Not enven the vision of the past or of shard (Nice to see her, I was so sure every writer forgot about her).
