RaisingBlack's Profile

I am really over DC's event comics that are not what DC promises. The reveal feels convoluted and outside the character of the murderer. DC continues to get a pass on these books that are supposed to rewrite the status quo but never do. Doomsday Clock never is out in a timely manner and we have long passed the promise of the importance of Dr. Manhattan being a major part of the DC Universe. Dark K nights Metal though many enjoyed( I did not) was quickly overshadowed by the weekly Justice League relaunch. Almost every New Age of Heroes book has been cancelled. DC Black Label got bogged in controversy and DC did not stand by their product but the extremely slow release schedule of every title makes it seem like an afterthought.

We are here again with this book where a fan favorite DC character is being taken in a direction that few like.

Why bother? more

I truly love this comic and all that it is about. I wish it came out more often.

Beautifully drawn, great writing, and a world you want to sink your teeth in.

This series is just not that good. It has gone from ok to barely ok from start to finish. The story is basic and straight forward. Logan was brought back to be Wolverine in a comic world where I thought we had already filled the void. X-23 was a great Wolverine and Old Man Logan was fitting the more mature material better. Most would be better served to read a synopsis and just pick up when the ne w Wolverine #1 comes out.

We have not gotten a single good Wolverine is returning storyline that was intended to be a Wolverine storyline. The best story about him was in the pages of Thor. The miniseries searching for Wolverine flopped. The Soule Return of Wolverine is a mixed bag at best, and the timing is bad because we have already moved on to Age of X-man and War of the Realms.

Just skip it. more

Kelly Thompson is the clear correct choice to give Captain Marvel her fresh start. The book has the right tone and really sets up the character in context. I know that the mission is to Make Carol Danvers more earthbound but I do help there is a balance made with her space adventures. Kelly Thompson writes a true jumping on point and Carman Nunez Carnero really supports with quality art. Kelly sta rts are off with a sense of time. I'm a little confused on continuity. Captain Marvel clearly joined the Avengers in Jason Aaron's book but in her solo title, it seems like the ask happened before the dark celestial storyline. It is a little confusing for readers of both books but it likely easier for those jumping on.

All in all I loved it and plan to pull the monthly book for the first arc and then see if it is worth keeping in a regular pull list.

Bitter Root has become my favorite monthly series to read. If ever there was an Image book with huge potential for TV and film options this is it. David Walker and Chuck Brown have written the greatest book of their career.

This book has something for everyone with characters and a tone unlike anything else anyone is writing. Sanford Greene continues the high level of art in this book. The book drips character and detail on every page.

I truly hope I get to read this book 50 issues later as one of the best at Image. We will see.
