Found this to be really boring, but if we push through some of the bad characterizations, maybe this can be something that works.

I don't like Roundhouse or his mom. It really added nothing to the story. Djinn and Robin's romance is still gross. Crush is the only thing I liked here.

I think I'm in love.

This is one of the best series Marvel has right now. And this arc is really getting dark.

This issue wraps up the cliffhangers to Rosenberg's New Mutants and Astonishing X-Men runs in one fell swoop. It also gives us the new X-Men team. It's super entertaining.

This was okay. I wasn't bored with it, but nothing really made me excited.

This was ridiculously fun. I had a good time reading this. It's not high art or deep. It's just fun action schlock, and it knows that.

This was yet again just a thing that exists. I liked how easy it was for Catwoman to make that mysterious woman give up the item. All talk, mysterious woman, all talk.

Meh. I feel like this will end with Gotham Girl being fine (because she has to be due to the end of I Am Gotham, unless they forgot that.) and probably the, ahem, "shocking" revelation that Bane was behind this. But let's see. Please do something we won't all see coming.

Probably the best issue so far. It was quickly paced, it never overstayed its welcome, and it didn't bog itself down with even more exposition.

Positive:
The art was off-the-charts and really told the story. Overall, it's an engaging storyline.

Negative (directed more at DC Management & not DeConnick, Rocha, & Heneriques:

For a character that has a hugely successful movie, the decision to run with a storyline that totally separates the character from the main DC Universe and whose death is NOT even acknowledged in Justice League or any other DC book (as compared to the Heroes in Crisis death of Wally West and Arsenal) makes no sense. On the heels of the hugely successful Wonder Woman movie, there was a digital series and a Batman and Wonder Woman team-up book. It seems like DC just doesn't know or want to capitalize on the success. Which brings me to my point that as much as I am enjoying this story and putting Aquaman into a new situation, it seems like it would have been better as a mini series or a weekly/biweekly series so that the character could quickly re-engage with the JLA.

I wasn't really excited for this one in any conceivable way. It just seemed like an uninteresting concept. But I really enjoyed this. It was great. It was over before I knew it. I don't know, it just worked really well for me and kept me hooked.

As a long time fan of the New Gods I don’t really understand all the good reviews for Mister Miracle. The characters aren’t really in character& while you could excuse this happening to characters like Granny or Orion due to the outcome of the story you can’t excuse it with Scott. He’s acting and also looking like an alcohol addict& why you could argue, that he’s a broken character due to his past, he still never would let him go so much. He isn’t the kind of guy, who gives up like that as he does in this story. So it rather appears to me, that King forced this depression type of story on a character, he doesn’t really understand.
Another problem is the bad dialogue, which is quite typical for King, if I look at his Batman run& HIC. The characters just pretty much sound all the same& are just babbling away.
Storywise nothing really happens, except that actually it’s constantly said, that exciting things were happening like Darkseid getting the full Anti life Equation or Orion becoming the ruler of New Genesis. However nothing of this is shown to the reader or has any real impact on the story. We are just seeing Barda and Scott going from place A to place B& punching one guy& that’s really it. Walter Simonson told an exciting story about what could happen, if someone gains the Anti life Equation. The story here focuses rather on Scott being depressed for no reasons.
I also hate how dumb Darkseid was portrayed here. I’m surprised he could still breath and wasn’t even too stupid for that. The „Darkseid Is“ lines didn’t change that& actually never made sense. They can’t keep up with old lines like „Die for Darkseid& he will live for you“.
The only good thing here is, that the New Gods look like their Kirby version again, but doesn’t help much if their characters aren’t done justice.
Many like the art, but I think Barda just looks too much of a guy here to enjoy any of the art. So I can’t recommend that, I would rather recommend Walter Simonson‘s Orion or John Byrne‘s Fourth World, which both really got Kirby’s New Gods right. It’s sad to see, that new readers don’t get an idea of how great the New Gods are with stories like this. more

This is an awful comic.

This was good. I was expecting to hate it, but it knows what it is, so it was fun.

This was really good. The Spot fight was really cool.

This was really fun!

Poor Odin. This run of Thor has been great.

I'm never going to be able to get around how, in order for this story to work, characters have to act completely out of character. If I had to give this anything, it's that the scene between Jon and Jor-El at the beginning had some good moments. And the cliffhanger was cool, as a spectacle. I don't know why it's happening, but hey, it's the Crime Syndicate!

This issue went off the rails in its latter half and that really brought it down for me.

The satire on events was fun, as was Deadpool's breakdown at not being able to break the fourth wall anymore. But the story itself was kind of lacking.

Good breather issue that reestablishes things after Spider-Geddon. It's nice to know that the writer can write Earth-65 and Spider-Gwen's status quo well, since a lot of that wasn't present in the series up until now.

Still confused on certain aspects of the character such as, she can control spiders?! Interesting. Art was okay but story kinda sucked. If she changed her name to Ghost-Spider, why was she calling herself spider-woman throughout the issue? Unfortunately this issue doesn't do much for me to get be to keep reading.

This finale needed me to care about anyone in this story and I didn't. Not once. The use of Earth-1218 was actually pretty decent. But Grandmaster is definitely going to come back. It's just going to make one writer's job a lot harder to ressurect him.

A really fun Conan issue. This launch didn't spend time methodically reestablishing Conan like Conan the Barbarian #1. It was just straight into Conan action, and the issue was better for it.

Really solid conclusion to this arc. This series is really great.
