I like the story overall, but using kryptoninte really took the momentum away for me. I'm just over Kryptonite, it's used way too often with Superman. I don't care if it's a new type or whatever. It's dumb and unoriginal and just a plain ass lazy way to make Superman vulnerable. Just make it extinct DC. Please.

This story is trash and dialogue is ridiculous.

Keeve Trennis was promoted from knight to master in one year of being a jedi knight. Ummmmm....OK, even the jedi have affirmative action now.
These weird anti force creatures are so dumb. If I didn't want to keep up on canon, I would have zero reason to read the high republic. It's a stupid era to pick, considering you can't use sith without breaking canon. It's just boring. The villains are boring. It just sucks. more

I'm sorry, but I think this series is trash. Oliver literally whines and moans and feels sorry for himself every issue. He gets his ass handed to him in every single fight. He's a complete loser with zero likable qualities as a character. He was supposed to be some all powerful character but yet he gets saved by his woman like the bitch he is. Why even make him the main character? Why not just make the woman the main character? This serie is all over the place to the point it is unenjoyable to read. This is probably pretty obvious, but I am done with this series and Donny Cates. more

More of the same. It's a stupid story set in an entertaining time in history. Even in the Roman days, you needed one woman in a group of hundreds of men to set them straight and call them out for being cowards. This is how it would really go. Woman: You are all being cowards!
Roman officer: Smack!!!
That would be the whole story if it was historically accurate. I'm not saying that is how the story should have been, but come on. How about a little realism? more

It gets a 5 for the art. Don't let the time period trick you into thinking it's a good story. It's hard to follow. The characters look exactly the same. It's just not entertaining.

So she killed the main villain? But yet let his guilt about it turn him into such a victim it completely ruined both of their lives? That is pretty dumb. The whole reasoning of giving him the spotlight because he needed it doesn't really work if it in fact was hurting him.

The characters are all unlikable. Main character is not only a badass killing machine. But he is also emotionally the biggest bitch in comics.

There is no build up of fights or characters so far. If this comic doesn't make me care about the fate of one character by next issue I'm done. more

This issue was much better. But this setup should have happened by issue 2. I have a feeling we were baited pretty hard with this sith lord. With one issue left, what can they possibly do with whatever sith comes back even if they do? Maybe one will come back and it will lead into another series but I doubt it.
Or Palpatine will stop it and take it for himself. Boring too. I don't think disney understands that jedi and sith need force users to fight against. It's so fucking boring and frustrating to see normal ass soldiers and Bounty Hunters being the enemy.

If they somehow make it so qira gets palps on the defensive without another sith lord to challenge him I'm going to be pissed. To diminish the most powerful sith of all time who destroyed the entire jedi order and is so powerful he can toy with maul and Savage oppress at the same time is so disney. Q'ira sucks, stop trying to make her relevant. She is like the carol Danvers of Star Wars. Just go away!
Why do they keep making terrible comics? They stick to the same era and try to cram trash and trash characters in the same time spans between the OT. The Yoda comic is a disappointment. It's like a whole series of nothing but boring, pointless filler stories. The plot line in Darth Vader is about a padmes handmaiden that literally no one cares about. more

WTF am I reading? Vader would have snapped chanaths neck with force mid sentence in the opening scene and force crushed the other 2 before they could move. These comics are so hard to take seriously. One of the most powerful sith lords is struggling against some c level Bounty Hunters. Is this a joke?! I mean seriously. If i took these comics seriously it would diminish Vader and force users in general. more

I guess I'm just having a hard time dealing with how easy Spider-Man was beaten by Tombstone. Unless they are going to explain a big strength upgrade I don't get it. Spider-Man would be dead by now if Tombstone who is much weaker beats him by putting him in a bear hug. The rest of the story can do whatever it wants, but it doesn't work for me knowing him getting beaten so easily doesn't really make any sense. How has he survived against so many more dangerous villains yet fucking Tombstone does a WWE move on him and actually beats him with it. Give Spider-Man the respect he fucking deserves! more

I don't know what comic those critics read but it wasn't this one! I was enjoying spiderman a lot until Beyond didn't stick the landing but then it just got so much worse.

The arts okay. Not really to my liking but I've seen enough John Romita Jr to be okay with it.

There's just nothing to like here, story wise. For me, reading comics is at its best when the characters are fun, interesting and inspiring. Ya know, super heroes. There's none of that left here. It even reads like spiderman goes after tombstone, not because he wants to stop him from doing something bad but because this (fake) Peter is so self absorbed with feeling personally threatened by Tombstone that he goes after him. Then loses in a one on one fight... With Tombstone?

It's bad plotting. It's bad character writing. more

On the one hand, each issue I love the concepts. On the other hand, keeping track of who is who, what gender they are, and what their sexuality is keeps me from fully understanding what I’m reading. I think the art makes it confusing along with so many of them seemingly LGBTQ+. It’s a lot to keep track of and I’m not doing that great. (That is not meant to imply in any way that the LGBTQ+ concepts shouldn’t be part of this, but simply that I get lost.) more

Everything was good but I wish they didn't go with him being a high school student. It feels too Power rangerish.

Seeing kid Jon was great, and I like Dick in the mentor role, but this issue was really Jon focused, assumes readers are reading his book, and nothing really happens other than what seems like a red herring at the end.

Now, I don't just want a bunch of info dump about another book, but the Truth isn't introduced well. What is it, and why is Dick investing? How does it fit in with his safety net plan? How does he even know about it? Also, isn't Jon only 17? Is he living with/dating some dude in his mid-20s?

These are questions I think should have been addressed here for context, but honestly I don't care enough to go find out (other than the age thing because that really bothers me). I'm not currently reading Jon's book, and this issue did nothing to change my mind. I'm debating even picking up the crossover. more
