And thank you ... For one last perfect day with my kids.

This series does a great job to consistently build tension. I don’t know if it is the satisfaction after so many delays but it all seems to be coming together very well. If it finishes in the same quality, the whole Rebirth relaunch will come to a satisfying end. How Batman and Superman will expose Ozy’s smear plan against them is unclear but intriguing which is what comics should build.

This is a solid comic. I think it's great that this issue explains how all the disparate plot lines are connected. I appreciate that very much. I'm not blown away by any of the revelations in this issue though. At least now I understand what this series is trying to be and what it is doing. But maybe the explanation came too late? I mean, for literal years I've been thinking about this series and my ultimate conclusion has always been: "This series is meandering and going nowhere, and I don't like it that much as a whole." And now that I know, I mean, I can't just switch off these feelings I've had. Which goes into this series' biggest problem: The delays. If this had all come out as it was supposed to I wouldn't have had all that time to let my opinions set on this story... I'm just glad I don't hate this issue. If next issue is mindblowing, I think this may be worth it in the end. Maybe. more

THE GOOD:

-Gary Frank is such a wonderful artist. I need some of these panels hanging in my room.

-I really like the storytelling here. It can feel a bit staccato at once, especially with the dialogue voiceovers constantly changing, but it keeps an otherwise boring issue interesting.

-Lex Luthor was perfectly written here.

-The Carver Colman photographs were a nice touch.

-Mime and Marionette are such wonderful characters.

-Poor Saturn Girl.

-I can't wait to see how it all ends. Too bad it'll be another three months. Just kidding. I actually appreciate Geoff Johns taking the time to make sure his story is well-done. And it is.

THE BAD:

-I wasn't really super interested in Ozymandias' plan. Not sure why, but it dragged down the second half of this book quite a bit for me. more

Pats art is really growing on me and Carter unleashed was a hell of a moment!

My goodness! Most of this is coated with nothing but weird (equals gross), what's with all the bluntness in here? I know we are talking about Deadpool and Gwenpool in a single issue, but still... I'd like to think I enjoyed this 'Rated Teen+' comic but, in the end it's just plain okay.

There's so much to storytelling, breaking the 4th wall is a blessing in itself but the writer doesn't seem to realise it yet. Anyhow this issue wasn't so bad cause the ideas were cool, often with so much potential. The art is entirely a different matter, David Baldeon killed it. I thought the end was interesting cause 'Unmasking Spidey' struck a nerve on Deadpool. Looking forward to something exciting in the next issue. more

Gwenpool takes quite a looong time providing the 'origin and other tales' with her monologue session. Not a complaint, trust me when I say I'm starting to like her, but... Are some of the details really necessary? This is my first time reading Gwenpool, to be honest she is like a mashup of Harley Quinn, Batgirl and Mxyzptlk combined. I know I know, coming from a DC fan this may seem like a rambling, don't get me wrong.

Although she has a striking likeness to a certain character, she wants readers to think otherwise (I'm not even talking about Gwen Stacy), sooo I didn't really get that part. Did she want to convey she is her own person or was it some kind of a joke that I'm too gullible to understand?

Nevertheless, I really loved seeing her break the 4th wall - talking about Dinah Lance, that bank robbery and some quality time with Spider-Man, who is she kidding? It was all fun except, I thought the end could have been done better 'cause it had the weirdest idea. more

A fitting conclusion to a 3-part story. It takes a bit of a jump in the narrative to cover a lot of subject, expected one from the beginning due to the nature of this series but it doesn't feel like it's too little or too much and it's considerably well paced to be honest. I'm not familiar with current Guardians of the Galaxy and its members, it takes a good time in introducing them to new readers like me. I thought the family dynamics and politics was well made, like the harsh relationship between brothers, Luuk and Prah'D'gul, and people of his world wanting Luuk to remain seated as the successor even after knowing he killed his own father. The revelation of Prodigal being an adopted child was also timely, reminded me of the moment when Silver Surfer had questioned him about his parents in the previous issue. Prodigal detonates the sun after he expels the people from his world, and so he is now and forever defined by his actions and what he stood for in the end, Righteousness and Justice. I'm looking forward to see more of his adventures in Marvel Universe. more
