Wow, you have no taste in artwork

Meanwhile on Earth, the terrifying return of a classic Justice League villain may spell doom for the planet! Doppelgängers abound, paranoia runs rampant, and only the Justice Le...
The art was some of the worst drawing I've ever seen !!! I think a toddler could've drawn it better while wearing a blindfold. Good lord it was bad. As for the story it was nothing new or fresh but I guess it was just barely passingly okay-ish. Totally forgettable and not worth the added price or of being an annual but it is what it is. If it was possible to return this comic for a refund I so woumore
The riveting new vigilante known as Clownhunter was a breakout star of “The Joker War”- but what’s the tragic origin of this teenage assassin? How did his parents die at the hands of The Joker, and is there a place for him in the evolving Gotham City? Can there be redemption for the infamous Clownhunter?
This epic tale reteams writer ...
Don't understand the idea that someone isn't allowed to like art because that's how "some people like to draw". Do you like everything you see, hear and taste because that's how some people like to do it? It's subjuctive and everybody can like or dislike whatever they want!
Solid epilogue. I hope to see JR JR and Bendis back on this title somewhere down the line.
Olsen and Luthor being related was a cool little Flash Fact to takeaway from the book , but seeing Jimmy in charge was just about all that mattered.
I could care less about this iteration of Superboy. I personally champion the Geoff Johns Connor Kent over any other Boy of Steel. At least that one more
The powerhouse creative team of Brian Michael Bendis, John Romita Jr., and Klaus Janson wrap up their run on Action Comics with “House of Kent: Epilogue”!

Superboy Prime is one of the worst DC villains who deserves to be bullied!!! And the jimmy Lex thing was from the Jimmy Olsen book that ended in july.

XOS Ch. 9: I really like the dynamic between the Braddock siblings. Its fun. I was initially confused about the mutant Captain Britain Corps. but I guess Saturnyne captured them off panel and they escaped off panel. I like the idea for that subplot but too much of it is happening off panel or on data pages. This isn't a terrible comic but I'm getting tired of not seeing plot elements in this book more
X OF SWORDS, PART 9
Opposition. Despair. The dark night of the soul.
Rated T+
But not their capture or escape. Howard should've just held off on their story until after X Of Swords
jokerman, I've been getting numerous complaints about your conduct on the site. It's created a level of antagonism that goes against the spirit of what I want the site to be and is affecting others' enjoyment of the site. I have no way of knowing if you read all the issues you review, but please only review issues you've read. And for the issues you have read and would like to review, there's a 20 point scale you can use to give a more evolved rating rather than reducing issues to either Masterpiece or Trash. That kind of reductive rating style is not only insulting to others who’ve enjoyed the issues you’ve labeled as Trash, but can either boost or bomb an issue's rating unfairly, which in turn causes our aggregate community ratings for each issue to mean less. This site is built on the contributions of all of us, so please consider the effects your contributions have on the site and the community that enjoys being here. If not, I have no problem with removing your account.
Jokerman and his reviews are gone. Let's all move on now and get back to enjoying our trash comics.
I don't know that more readers depend on it overall, but there is a certain group that seem pretty dedicated to the user reviews.
This still just doesn't do it for me. It just feels so rushed.
Having the event start after the big battle was a mistake.
Maybe the biggest problem for is that I just don't care. I don't care about BWL. I'm just annoyed by him. Every issue it feels he just becomes more and more powerful and it is getting ridiculous.
Wonder Woman doesn't feel like the main characte more
All aboard! When the Justice League launches its assault on New Apokolips, the team’s goal is to free Superman from his solar prison.

I think the blocker was a lie - he is dead and doesn't want WW to find out
The best issue of this run, we finally have at least half an issue that has a proper Supergirl in it.
I'm happy that this terrible run ended a bit better than it started (and continued and continued).
I saw someone mention in the comments that the writer had no control over their run. It seems on par with the DC horror story coming from Mairghread Scott recently.

Deemed a threat by the U.S. military, Supergirl is now a wanted villain! General Corvid has come for our hero-and she won’t give up until Kara’s gone for good. Meanwhile, the superstorm rages stronger than ever, while hundreds remain helpless against it. Can Supergirl prove that she’s the hero the people once believed her to be? Or will she l...
Actually was told It’s not a female thing and was given a bunch of examples of the same thing happening to male writers as well. It is a thing that DC is doing to all “mid-level” writers. A few big writers are allowed to do what they want and the rest are made to do what dc tells them or be replaced
Supergirl limps across the finish line at last and does so with as much grace as one might hope — which at this point isn't much really. Writer, artist, and protagonist all deserved better than the editorially-mandated flavorless mush that they were given to work with. Maybe this book's failure will teach DC to treat its female creators and characters with more respect in the future... but I'm nmore

Remember, the same thing was going on with Marc Andreyko on this book and some other male writers on other books as well (Batman and the outsiders and Wonder Woman are two examples). It is more of how DC is treating everyone but the 3-4 big writers
I see what Jody tried to accomplish in this issue, bringing back Kara's old fears and foes, but it feels more chaotic and disorganized that it probably should have been for its own good. It's a decent story, albeit not one I'd call well executed, which was a long running problem with Supergirl's series to begin with. Writer after writer, they didn't know what to do with her, how to deveop her furtmore

Warmaster's plot to destroy Wonder Woman's family is nearly complete... but Diana has reunited with her former protégé Donna Troy! Are the two of them enough to face the might of the Four Horsewomen? Or is the Age of the Amazons at an end?
Good start. As always, Snyder knows how to rope you in and start an event very well. He sets up the main players, the conflicts, and the story all very well. My major gripe is that this feels like it has come out of left field. When the original Dark Nights Metal happened, that had setups to it in prelude issues and other Snyder Batman stories, but this kind of feels random. It feels like it more

When the Earth is enveloped by the Dark Multiverse, the Justice League is at the mercy of the Batman Who Laughs. Humanity struggles to survive in a hellish landscape twisted beyond...
Death Metal #1 is an awesome first issue. Surprisingly, this issue is unlike many of Snyder's first issues in that there is not as much exposition as usual, which is a welcome addition. Instead, the issue features glimpses into a world that is largely conquered by Perpetua and her stooge the Batman Who Laughs. The premise for this event is interesting, and the stakes seem to be high. The issue feamore

I like the art, but there is nothing to get behind, character or storywise.
Dejected but determined to find her missing kingdom, Princess Amethyst and her new companions-a four-armed Turqoisian peasant called Phoss and her gigantic caterpillar steed-set out for the land of Sapphire, where it is always night.

These anthologies are always tiring to get through. For every good story, there are a bunch that aren't.
Skin the Cat was fine. It didn't leave an impression.
Now You See Me was also just fine.
Helena had more of the awful dialogue between Batman and Catwoman that Tom King's run on Batman relished in. But the ending was nice. I don't understand where the dialogue more
Our gal Catwoman is turning 80 next year (and looking very good, if we meow say), and DC is celebrating with nothing less than with a huge soiree, invite only, packed with creators who mean the most to her and to whom she means the most! Stories featured in this 100-page spectacular include a tail-sorry, tale-that takes place at the end of the Brub...
yeah. he has absolutely zero clue how to handle an ongoing. events from previous issues had absolutely no bearing on the very next issue. after Nightwing was shot in the head, Batman goes after KGBeast, and there's no mention of Dick Grayson or cucumber sandwiches from there after. ...his writing seriously reads like parody.
He may as well have been writing an anthology book sometimes. Hell, his longest arc *was* an anthology.

Ever seen those hot-pink vans stationed around town advertising sexy maids who'll come clean your house? Little did you know those sexy maids are actually part of a secret underground sting operation that only Catwoman can claw her way through to find the artifact they've stolen. It's leather versus lingerie in this epic cat chase!
