Reitherschach reviewed Gideon Falls #27 Sep 1, 2021
Everything about Gideon Falls was fantastic—the art was amazing, the dialog glittered, the characters were well-delineated—except for the actual story. Which had largely been seen before, but that's not a huge issue, necessarily, provided it's a good story and well told—I mean, how many variations upon classic Shakespeare plays have we seen, some of them extremely well done? How much better more

Reitherschach reviewed Stealth #1 Jul 8, 2020
A first issue has to do so much — and this did it all perfectly, including the twist I did not see coming, despite having read hundreds of first issues. Outstanding.

A father unwilling to accept that he's no longer the hero this city needs... with enemies all too eager t...
Reitherschach reviewed Punisher: Soviet #6 Mar 25, 2020
Freakin' Ennis, man. He's been so good for so long that it can be easy to forget just what a truly great storyteller he is. Endings can be hard, but here Ennis absolutely nails it perfectly. Surprising yet satisfying, this story will stick with you probably longer than you'd like.
• The soul-chilling end of PUNISHER: SOVIET is here.
• Frank and Val have fought side-by-side against not only a Russian mob but also against the tide of history and these issues will make you see The Punisher (and possibly the world) differently than you do now.

Reitherschach reviewed Punisher: Soviet #4 Feb 26, 2020
On the one hand, this is the kind of story Ennis can almost write in his sleep. On the other hand, there are only maybe a half dozen writers in comics who can write better than Ennis can in his sleep.
• Valery Stefanovich has put himself on a collision course with The Punisher.
• The roots of this issue go back to Afghanistan in the 1980s where Valery spent time in the Russian Special Forces and some of the most horrific things you can imagine. Things that CHANGED him.

Reitherschach reviewed Punisher: Soviet #1 Nov 27, 2019
Somehow, every bit of this is standard Garth Ennis Punisher and yet, dammit, every bit of it is surprising and fresh. One of the greatest storytellers in the history of comics at the top of his game. And this is almost certainly the finest work Jacen Burrows has ever done—that time spent working with Alan Moore seems to have really paid off.
• Garth Ennis (Co-Creator of The Boys & Preacher) is back at Marvel and writing the Punisher again, this time with art phenom Jacen Burrows (MOON KNIGHT, 303, Crossed) at his side.
• A dozen Russian mobsters lie dead at the Punisher's feet and he wasn't the one who pulled the trigger.
• If you know Frank Castle, you know this d...

Nihilist reviewed Superman: Year One #3 Oct 16, 2019
The only good thing I can say about this comic is, it ended. 3 issues of plot gibberish, jumping from one thing to another, from one character to the next. There's no depth to be found here, just things that Superman must see before he becomes Superman, all condensed o much, you can't possibly think they'd be relevant to Clark. These are one offs, as important to one's life as meeting a random per more
