The beautiful art does NOT make up for the unnecessary rape that became a plot that didn't matter to killing Sue Dibney to stupidly making Atom's ex wife the villain. Which still years later makes no sense!!!

Thank you, Kelly Thompson. Thank you for washing off the terrible aftertaste The Life of Captain Marvel has left me with.

Light and fun dialogue and great looking art. Looking forward for more.

The Terrifics are no more! Great cliffhanger to a very good arc. Loving Bogdanovic's art, as per usual.

While I do understand why some might feel that this was a slower issue, it's still a great read, as always. Superman is finally upfront, and-- fuck it, it is finally happening, guys.

Damn great start of this new direction. The art is beautiful, and the story feels fresh enough for both the old and new readers -- which is great, as there will probably be a few of considering the movie pulling such great numbers.

While Drowned Earth started really well, it didn't really follow it too well. Though it was a really enjoyable read, I always felt like something more could be done to make it feel as epic as it was (probably) intended to. I don't really liked the way it was resolved, but it was written pretty well, which I am ok with.

Overall, I understand that this crossover(?) was intended to give Aquaman a new direction (which it did), and to have something related to the character in the spotlight of the DC's flagship book, as there is a movie out in the cinemas, which it also managed to do without it feeling like an unnecessary synergy thing that DC's main competitor does oh so often. more

Great art and writing, the stage is set and the stakes are very high. Actually excited to see what's next.

This is what I want from this book! Action packed, and, most importantly, FUN. It's great to see Tempest in action again, and I do not mind Miss Martian being absent from the story at all.

Art was quite uneven at times, and the story wasn't as compelling as it could be. Still, Drowned Earth is a pretty decent story so far.

Does what it says on the tin. It celebrates Superman. If you are looking for something new and different and profound, nope. If you are looking for a long epic story, nope. But if you are looking for the right mix of current and classic writers and artists, you've come to the right place. My highlights include Johns, Donner and Copiel; Tomasi and Gleason; and Dini and Garcia-Lopez. The only dud here was Snyder's effort.

As for Bendis...the jury is still out, but his usual tics are on view, take them or leave them. more

Great collection of stories celebrating THE most significant comics' character. Here's to another 1000 issues.

These issues continue to be capable of not just focusing on the titular character, but also a secondary character as well. Its interesting to see Jango serving as a mentor to his son since that just hasn't been something we've seen in film form.

Look. I like the concept of Harley being framed, and then figuring her way out of this mess, first trying to fight, or run away from Batman, and then, inevitably, teaming up with him and proving her innocence. You know why? Because I've seen it already. Paul Dini's Some King of a Family was based on this general plot, and it was full of action, full of heart and full of character development. This is none of that.

The comic is an incoherent mess, and to make things worse, it's filled with filler material, like the entire dream sequence. It's unnecessary and serves no real purpose other than saying out loud few things that coulld have been said in one or two sentences. And frankly, I can even tell you when exactly - in hospital, when Harley was talking to her mom, and/or her trying to prove Batman she is redeemable.

The only two good things I can say about this issue are, as follows: the art is pretty good (with some panels being very good), and it doesn't feature deadpoolesque pointless violence and shock for the sake of shock. They aren't enough to save it, though. more

"LITTLE PIG... LITTLE PIG..."

King and Gerads team up for the first time after mister miracle and it's pretty damn good.
This issue didn't expand on the big story, so if you expected something like that you might be disappointed.

In this issue, we get to see the thought process of Batman while he's trying to figure out how to handle the situation. It really puts you in Batman's shoes and I was so immersed by that.
But all of this wouldn't work without the art, which is the highlight of this issue in my opinion. It was so damn good. So good that the art alone is almost enough for me to tell you to read it. But luckily, the writing was also great.

That being said, the cliffhanger was a bit confusing and even after a second read I don't really know what it means, But it sure is interesting.

"Shenanigans"

Wait... A comic book wedding where both parties actually go through with it?

I'm baffled, speechless and genuinely happy how fun and sweet this issue was. Ben truly is a gentle soul and that's a pretty cool family to be marrying into.

Excelsior!

A high concept series ends in high concept fashion. Extraordinary series, with a melancholy finale.
