Ryan reviewed Wolverine #72 Aug 25, 2019
Here’s this storyline in a nutshell if you still have doubts about reading it: Old Man Logan is action-packed with beautiful art, and it’s incredibly heartbreaking this issue

I don’t know what I can say here without sounding like a broken record

“OLD MAN LOGAN” Part 6 (of 8) Logan and Hawkeye reach New Babylon to deliver their mysterious cargo. But before they get there—they’ll have to face their toughest challenge to date: a Venom Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Ryan reviewed Wolverine #70 Aug 25, 2019
Wolverine 70 is gloriously bloody and action-packed, yet it’s all driven by Logan’s love for his family, something Logan doesn’t have in our universe. McNiven knocks it out of the park once again with the art.

50 years ago the heroes of the Marvel Universe were massacred. During that battle, something so traumatic happened to Logan that he hasn't popped his claws since. Finally, the darkest chapter in his history can be told!
Ryan reviewed Wolverine #69 Aug 25, 2019
Absolutely fantastic. Millar’s take on Red Skull is terrifying and this is one of the most engaging and awesome alternative reality stories ever
/69_small.jpg)
In a future where America is dominated by super-villains, old man Logan lives out his days, but as far as he's concerned, WOLVERINE died 50 years ago with the other heroes. Plus: the identity of the PRESIDENT revealed!
Ryan reviewed Wolverine #68 Aug 25, 2019
Three issues in and Old Man Logan is already one of the most thrilling and intriguing alternate reality stories ever
/68_small.jpg)
50 years after the super heroes died, WOLVERINE and the blind archer, HAWKEYE, journey across a ruined America. Next stop: Cedar City, Utah-home of the man who killed Magneto: the all-new, all-different KINGPIN!
Ryan reviewed Wolverine #67 Aug 25, 2019
I was completely entertained throughout this whole comic, never once the little bit bored. Great art as well
/67_small.jpg)
Logan owes the Hulk Gang. So Logan's agreed to a crazy ride across America with the blind archer, Hawkeye, to deliver a package to the East Coast...but only if Logan and Hawkeye can make it past-the GHOST RIDERS.
Ryan reviewed Wolverine #66 Aug 25, 2019
Wolverine 66 perfectly set ups the rest of this arc and not a ton happens but beautiful narration and dialogue by Miller and absolutely exceptional art by Steve McNiven
/66_small.jpg)
MARK MILLAR and STEVE MCNIVEN (CIVIL WAR) bring us the most important WOLVERINE story of the 21st Century. Nobody knows what happened the night the heroes fell. What happened to Wolverine is the biggest mystery.
Ryan reviewed Valkyrie: Jane Foster #2 Aug 21, 2019
The fight between Jane and Bullseye was exceptionally written and drawn, and Jane’s inner monologue was the best part about the issue. Cafu knocks it out of the park again with the art and issue 3 is set up nicely
INTRODUCING THE GOD OF THE KILL - BULLSEYE!
The deadliest shot in the Marvel Universe just got his hands on the sword of a god! With the Asgardian weapon Dragonfang, Bullseye has the power to kill a god in a single stroke - and he's about to prove it. Jane Foster, the newly christened Valkyrie, must learn a hard lesson: Not every death can be p...
Ryan reviewed Powers of X #3 Aug 21, 2019
Once I read the last line on the last page I screamed UNO REVERSE CARD WHAT THE FUCK and preceded to immediately reread House of X 1, Powers of X 1, House of X 2, Powers of X 2, and this issue all over again
As Xavier sows the seeds of the past, the X-Men's future blossoms into trouble for all mutantdom. Superstar writer Jonathan Hickman (NEW AVENGERS, INFINITY, FF) continues reshaping the X-Men's past, present and future with breakout artist R.B. Silva (UNCANNY X-MEN)!
Rated T+
Ryan reviewed Batman: White Knight #8 Aug 20, 2019
Never have I wanted more to rate an issue 11/10. 2nd best Batman comic EVER in my opinion; just behind Long Halloween
In the extra-sized finale of Sean Murphy's top-selling miniseries, Jack Napier's suspicious seduction of Gotham City comes to its twisted conclusion! With the city on the verge of becoming an icy tomb for the GTO, Batgirl makes a crucial assist and Gordon is forced to reevaluate his judgment of Batman to secure the greater good. As the true Joker's...
Ryan reviewed Batman: White Knight #7 Aug 20, 2019
It’s official: Batman: White Knight is up there with Hush, Long Halloween, Dark Knight Returns, Year One, Killing Joke, and Arkham Asylum as one of the all time greatest Batman stories. No seriously, I consider it that good. Sean Murphy outdoes himself with the art and story and each character has so much depth in only 7 issues
This issue, it's Jack versus the Joker! Napier's identity crisis spins out of control and compromises his grand plans for Gotham City - but not before he strikes a fateful bargain with Neo Joker. A browbeaten Batman accepts a peace offering from Batgirl, and some unexpected advice from Alfred sets the tone for the GTO's new mission to redeem the ci...
Ryan reviewed Batman: White Knight #6 Aug 20, 2019
Batman: White Knight 6 is the calm before the storm of these next 2 issues, but that doesn’t mean this issue is any less good. The artwork is great and the whole thing is entertaining cover to finish.
Gotham City's strongest alliance comes to an end when Gordon's trust in Batman reaches its limit. On the verge of resignation, the commissioner attempts a final act of public service, but an unlikely intervention allows the Dark Knight to fight another day. Meanwhile, Jack's mission takes a hit when his pills lose effect-and under cover of all this...
Ryan reviewed Batman: White Knight #5 Aug 20, 2019
The conversation between Bruce and Harley was easily the highlight of this issue, and it gave them each so much more depth. The relationship between Dick and Bruce is so intriguing and I hope to see it fleshed out more in coming issues
Jack's mind and body begin to betray him as he prepares for an inevitable showdown with Batman, and Bruce himself struggles to keep his team united. As the game gets tougher, Batman seeks counsel from a shocking source-and after Wayne Manor is infiltrated, a car chase for the ages aims to curb Napier's supercriminal crew once and for all.

Nihilist reviewed Batman: White Knight #5 Feb 7, 2018
Batman: White Knight, if it keeps its current quality of storytelling, will most definitely make history and become one of the most important modern Batman stories. It's mesmerising, and what makes me even happier with this particular issue, is how much depth and development both Harleys get. They're supporting characters, giving Batman and Jack proper background, but their writing hasn't been nea more

Ryan reviewed Batman: White Knight #4 Aug 20, 2019
Again, I can’t help but root for Jack and root against Bruce, and we get that Neo-Joker backstory that was desperately needed. Honestly, the GTO is actually a really good idea
Jim Gordon and the GCPD are thrown into disarray when Jack Napier leads a show stopping campaign to become councilman of the politically abandoned neighborhood of Backport. Civic backlash brews as Mayor Hill struggles to find creative ways of criminalizing Napier's democratic aspirations, and Batman's interference blooms into a liability for the GC...
Ryan reviewed Batman: White Knight #3 Aug 20, 2019
The best thing about this series is that you can’t help but root for Jack Napier even though he bound to fall and go back to his joking ways. I’m not liking this Neo-Joker character until we get more backstory on her, though. Murphy does a tremendous job with the art
Tragedy strikes, and the Bat-family face the fight of their lives against an army of super-villains and waning public support. A new discovery reinforces Jack's plot to jeopardize the Dark Knight's standing in Gotham City, and Harley's obsession with The Joker reaches a new height-and threatens to change the game for good!
RATED T+
Ryan reviewed Batman: White Knight #2 Aug 20, 2019
Another wonderful issue by Murphy. It was heartbreaking to see Alfred die and this may be the most fascinating portrayal of Joker ever
Public support for Batman dwindles and Gotham City's 99 percent rally around ex-Joker Jack Napier's crusade to expose decades of corruption within the GCPD. A proposition inspires new revelations about Harley and The Joker's past; and as Jack transforms into a hero of the middle class and takes extreme measures to mobilize a revolutionary army of s...

Murphy does a perfect job as Writer & Artist. And I love how he criticizes the DC New Harley Quinn.
With him Bruce Timm Harley is smart & sexy, and I hope DC will bring back this one.
I also like the idea that Rich people improve their wells thanks to Batman War.

As I was reading this issue, I thought: Is this what people felt while reading Watchmen or Killing Joke for the first time? Did they notice the classic instantly? Did we notice it with this book? Yes, to me, this is THAT good.

Batman: White Knight 1 was absolutely fantastic. Murphy outdoes himself with the tremendous art and mind boggling story. This is one of the most fascinating Joker stories I’ve read, and it’s only issue 1
In a world where Batman has gone too far, The Joker must save Gotham City.
He's been called a maniac, a killer and the "Clown Prince of Crime" but "white knight"? Never. Until now...
Set in a world where the Joker is cured of his insanity and homicidal tendencies, The Joker, now known as "Jack," sets about trying to right his wrongs. First ...
Ryan reviewed The Thanos Imperative: Devastation #1 Aug 19, 2019
This issue gets extra points for being narrated by Cosmo
THE THANOS IMPERATIVE is over…but who and what has survived? What happened to Thanos? What about Lord Mar-Vell and the Cancerverse? Who rules the Kree and the Shi’Ar? Is anyone left to guard the galaxy? And who will hold the shattered civilizations of the Marvel Universe together in this bleak new age? Find out from the creative team that deliv...
Ryan reviewed Thanos Imperative #6 Aug 19, 2019
Thanos Imperative 6 is an epic conclusion to the series as Thanos prevails in killing the entire Cancerverse Universe. This series had everything you’d ever need from a Dan Abnett epic: huge stakes, tins of characters, and many casualties (Drax, Nova, Star Lord, Thanos). Amazing job by Miguel Sepulveda as well
Ryan reviewed Thanos Imperative #5 Aug 19, 2019
This issue was perfect all the way until the last page, when Thanos pledges his allegiance to Lord Mar-Vel in exchange that he kill him. I’m not the biggest fan of this plot twist because I’m not a fan Thanos wanting to be dead, but I have no doubt Abnett and Lanning will deliver a satisfying conclusion next issue
Ryan reviewed Thanos Imperative #4 Aug 19, 2019
Thanos Imperative 4 is chock full of cosmic action, although the plot itself I found lacking. The art is spectacular as usual
Ryan reviewed Thanos Imperative #3 Aug 19, 2019
The way Abnett weaves together his dual narratives is pure genius and it’s safe to say Thanos Imperative is Marvel’s next great space opera. Thanos steals the spotlight every page thanks to excellent art by Miguel Sepulveda. The biggest surprise so far is that Darkhawk and the Raptors haven’t shown up yet lmao
Ryan reviewed Thanos Imperative #2 Aug 19, 2019
Abnett rises the stakes as Galactus and the Celestials join the fight against the Cancerverse. Sepulveda drew Galactus and the Celestials beautifully and epically. Abnett writes Thanos Imperative 2 with such an epic tone and feel to it.
Ryan reviewed Thanos Imperative #1 Aug 19, 2019
Miguel Sepulveda may be the best artist Marvel’s cosmic line has seen since Ron Lim. Abnett packs so much into this opening issue and I was entertained from cover to finish. Thanos is undoubtedly awesome and Mar-Vel and his Revengers are terrifying villains. One last war for Abnett and Lanning and it looks like the best one yet
Ryan reviewed Thanos Imperative: Ignition #1 Aug 19, 2019
Thanos Imperative is looking like another Abnett and Lanning cosmic classic. This prologue issue has everything you could ever want: tremendous art, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova, the recently returned Magus, and Thanos himself. What a last page two
Nova 36 was a good series finale and a great lead-in to Thanos Imperative. DiVito, in my opinion, was this series best artist and I hope Abnett finds some place to continue his story about Richard, Robbie, and the rest of the corps
After months away, Nova finally returns to Earth! The Human Rocket and his cosmic comrades Darkhawk and Quasar return home with a dire warning about the monstrous threat about to emerge from The Fault! But there’s a problem on Earth…remember that red-eyed Quasar seen on the last page of the REALM OF KINGS one-shot? A twisted version of the Prot...
