Super clunky dialogue and just mediocre story beats. So disappointing how the Star Wars comics continue a downwards trend each phase. At least the latest Aphra & Jedi Knights books showed promise.

7.5

A lackluster ending but overall a fun series. I felt there was a huge misstep with the coloring being so bright in this issue not just for a Predator book but also the fact it's occurring during a blackout.

I LOVED the First Knight and so happy Jurgens is back for more. Batman in a noir story is like peanut butter and jelly. This is a fantastic start and awesome to have Lois added in the mix to elevate a top notch series.

More of the same. Victimization of mutants seems to be the ONLY thing writers can manage with the x-men books these days and while this is an interesting version of that its still just more of that same old same old. This would be a sub plot at best in years past and now its the thing that will be their toughest challenge yet??? I'd hate to see these new mutants face something actually threaten more

I’m getting frustrated by this story that never ends. This chapter has big moments occur without any rhyme or clear reason as to why, they just do. A powerless Nathan makes the new power battery explode.because the plot requires it. The entities fall. Because the plot requires it. An old villain shows up in Teen Lantern’s power glove. Why??

I like what PJK is going for capturing those loving happy Kent family vibes at the farm but it just feels so unnatural how forced the relationship with the kids is written. I appreciate he's doing his best to give us those family moments we were robbed of by Bendis aging up Jon but it just doesn't work for me.
