I would have like it better if Ivy had to deal with the consequences of the lamia poisoning than be saved by a literal dues ex machina.

skellylaugh reviewed DC Pride #1 Jun 16, 2021
Okay DC I'll bite. Being an LBGT+ myself I should probably love this book. Well I didn't, more like just eh, okay and go read something else. Most of the one-shots were good except for Harley/Ivy which has Ivy acting massively OOC for even the pairing to work anymore, which is sad. Why does Ivy care about what happens to the people? Why is she not screeching at Harley for hurting her plant blechy more

skellylaugh reviewed The Life Of Captain Marvel #4 Oct 17, 2018
So instead of having her copy from a male character, Marvel decides to copy off a DC male character! Brilliant feminism there. She's a superman/aquaman rip-off! The rest of the story is bad as well and gets every thing about the Kree wrong. They don't have an emperess, they have the Supreme Intelligence.
It was an accident of fate. A mysterious bonding between a super hero, a human and an alien machine. Mar-Vell and the Psyche-Magnitron that gave her Kree powers have been part of Carol's story since the beginning - but that's just the story you know. The true tale of Carol Danvers and her journey to becoming Captain Marvel begins years ago, on a st...

skellylaugh reviewed Infinity Wars #3 Sep 12, 2018
Everything has gone from bad to worse, for the characters but especially for the narrative which is a mess. Gamora doesn't have a solid motivation for why she is doing any of this. characters stand around and do nothing except quip plot. Characters are dead now for some reason (hello? moondragon is alive, Duggan. even Bendis knew that) Deodato's messy paneling doesn't help the already messy plot. more

WHO ARE THE INFINITY WARPS?
With Requiem tearing through the Marvel Universe, Loki whispering around its fringes and a new threat looming to devour everything, the very fabric of reality warps around the heroes of Earth... and the only way through winds through infinity itself!
Rated T+
Gamora merged the souls of her universe to stave off Devondra, a soul eating entity that's been wreaking havoc across the multiverse. It's the monster inside the soul gem. She does this as a way to get the heroes fighting against her out of the way and to keep Devondra at bay long enough to figure out how to stop it. As for Moondragon, she was dead until Bendis brought her back, which is the only reason he'd know that she was alive. That doesn't make Duggan's continuity flub any better though.

skellylaugh reviewed The Mighty Captain Marvel #9 Sep 27, 2017
Carol continues her descent on being the worst published book at Marvel but this issue was decent, awful pop jokes and dialogue that is still atrocious to read aside. Nothing happens aside from the Bean Ghost appearing.
Someone should have told Stohl that Jessica Jones has a kid already.
Bonus: The alpha flight cadets don't actually show up so that raises my opinion.
• Between battling a horde of Chitauri, keeping Alpha Flight afloat and fighting off the raging HLA monster insider her, Carol Danvers has been stretched a little thin.
• Though she desperately needs to unwind, there's no time for recreational asteroid punching today...
• Not when Earth's fate rests in the hands a few Alpha Fl...

It's okay. A rather going out with a whimper than a bang to this arc however.

While slightly better than Stohl's current writing of Captains Marvel, this issue is still horribly bad and only Mar-Vell manages to come out semi okay. Terrible dialogue, terrible art, and terrible story. Save your $.

But before she can get to the bottom of this impossible reunion, she gets embroiled in combat with someone who wants the Kree destroyed - talk about terrible timing!
