7.0

Honestly a little underwhelmed with the finalé here. I felt that what this issue "wrapped up" was stuff that I had been expecting as far back as issue 4 or 5. It really felt to me like they could have compressed a portion of it and stuffed it into the last issue, albeit expanded into a larger issue. Maybe not, but it felt like it took a long road to vaguely hint at what we had already knew. I com more

Mister Miracle #12

By: Tom King, Mitch Gerads
Released: Nov 14, 2018

It'll be a miracle if you can get through this mind-bending conclusion with your sanity intact! After his epic battle with Darkseid, Scott Free sees life a whole new way: he's the new Highfather of New Genesis, and he's madly in love with his wife and child. But what if it's all a lie? Did Mister Miracle really escape death way back in issue #1? No...

As far as a new series goes, this issue #1 hits all the right spots for me.

Took most of the issue introducing the reader to the characters and get a sense of the world that they are going to be operating in. It didn't set up any short term series ending goals, which I think is good, hopefully it means it sticks around for a while. Overall very excited to see where the story is going t more

Meh. The series was off to a pretty exciting start with issue #1 but definitely took a dive for me already. As someone else's review mentioned, "Loki again?" was pretty much my exact reaction. What I didnt really like about it was how they pretended like they were keeping it a mystery by not showing him til the end but clearly were using his voice (font) throughout his monologuing as if people mi more

It was a good read with great art, but my only gripe would be how easily Frank started to work with Thanos. Other than that it was a good story.

I think dragging that out would have been unnecessary, Thanos just decapitated his partner and tossed the rider away like a piece of paper. I think at that point Frank was just looking for a friend.

I think we did not read the whole conversation. Probably everything we have seen is just a summary.

This is without a shadow of a doubt best book marvel has going for it. that's pretty much my review.

Donny Cates has really elevated the titles that he has taken over for marvel to the next level and paired with phenomenal artists like geoffrey shaw and ryan stegmann has me itching to read anything he puts out. I think that Donny has a better idea of how the minds of these Marvel bad gu more

7.5

Really liked this series, first issue to last. I felt this last installment sort of ramped things up to a level that was a bit over the top compared to what I might have expected, but it still worked for me in that it was a sensible conclusion that, as it should, left the door open for furthering the concepts displayed throughout the series.

Really enjoying this series at pretty much every turn. I usually have mixed feeling on Zdarksy's work depending on what book it is. That said, i was definitely speculative of this one but so far he has done the characters justice and made for a really fun book that i cant wait to read every month. Given the title and the situation that the First Family where put in since Secret Wars, they cant do more

Confusing issue in an event that has seemingly gone past its expiration date. I have followed every issue of metal, and where some might have some "wait what?" moments for those who havent read the entire snyder back catalog of comics, it was still mostly a cohesive story. this one, not so much. the wild hunt is like a collage of all of the "wait what?" moments of the series put together in hopes more

Do you remember that Britney Spears fan, the one from the "leave Britney alone" video? That's how I felt reading this. Geoff Johns knows he can't win over readers like me, but is like he didn't even tried. The art is kinda good, but... But... I'm sad. I'm so sad...
