More of the same. Boring. Art is starting to look bad too. Can’t blame the artist for having to draw panel after panel of weak plot.

Bigbooty reviewed Cosmic Ghost Rider #5 Jan 4, 2019
Loved it.
The dramatic conclusion to the series everyone is talking about! Featuring Punisher! Thanos! Punisher! AND Thanos! Plus a few more surprises, some terrible deaths...and maybe a little redemption? Sounds unlikely given who we're talking about.
PARENTAL ADVISORY
Bigbooty reviewed Asgardians of the Galaxy #3 Jan 1, 2019
I’d like to see Angela fleshed out more but the art is fantastic and it has Throg.
Bigbooty reviewed Lady Mechanika: La Belle Dame Sans Merci #3 Jan 1, 2019
Always loved these. I want to say the pencils have been cleaner in the past or maybe the inker made the difference but nitpicking aside LM is always a good read and the art is delightful.
Lady Mechanika and Winifred try to rescue Mr. Lewis from the clutches of the Belle Dame but discover he has no desire to leave. Will forcing him away cause more harm than leaving him under her otherworldly influence? The shocking conclusion to La Belle Dame sans Merci! Ships with two covers in a 50/50 distribution.

THE EARTH'S MOST HATED HEROES?!
After 700 issues of saving the world, you'd think the Avengers would be due some celebration.

Well, so much for this series. I really did my best trying to like this. I love Azzarello's Hellblazer run and I was hoping we'd be getting something more like that. But Constantine isn't actually integral at all. He guides Batman, sure, but beyond that what help is he? There's just some frankly stupid writing choices made in this issue. Underground Rapper Etrigan is easily the cringiest thing I'v more

I don't know what so many see in this book. Sure it is "Darker" but that is supposed to allow for chances to be taken and to drive home a strong narrative but so far these books seem to only be about the high-quality art and the feel they want to create. The art masks the fact that the story is extremely weak. This series is not a Batman story in a darker universe but rather a darker universe that more

If there's one thing popular fiction has taught us by now, it's: never make a deal with the devil!

Since when has Darkseid been famous for his honesty?! It'll b...

Darkseid has put an offer on the table- something that can end the war between New Genesis and Apokolips once and for all. The stakes are high, but peace is important. Mister Miracle finds himself caught having to make a decision that won't just change the new life he's been building, but potentially the entirety of the universe.

After war comes peace. The bloody battles that waged across New Genesis and Apokolips have come to an end, and now Mister Miracle and Kalibak must sit down and discuss a truce. Can Scott Free trust the former minions of Darkseid to keep their word? Not likely, but a leader sometimes has to take a risk in service to the greater good. Perhaps the mor...
