SM80 reviewed Justice League Unlimited #7 Jun 9, 2025
This crossover has been average, average story, average art.
Not got much to do other than it feels like there’s is so many characters who are being wasted in this. Literally doing nothing.
Where’s Batman and Superman Grodd is asked? He shrugs it off like not planning for the two biggest threats is a good thing to do.

fthissite reviewed Absolute Batman #4 Jan 14, 2025
Very poor art for DC's current big book they're trying to push. This issue was quite boring and the reveal of the bat suit tech origin was lackluster at best. My least favorite issue of the run by far.

SM80 reviewed Action Comics #1079 Dec 17, 2024
We are now seeing the pitfalls of a weekly comic. The art is lacklustre and the story feels like it’s plodding along with filler specifically to make it work weekly. If this was a 6-8 issue monthly book the story and art could be tight and really good but as we get further along the quality has dropped across the board.
As for the Supergirl backup well it’s gotten more interesting more
