I like how minimally they feature Batman in this. Keeps the focus on the cops, which is the point. This is a compelling story. Art is great too.

A very strong start. This series provides a unique look at law enforcement's perspective on the goings-on in Gotham City, which is a really cool take. The writing was solid, and the art was fantastic and perfectly suited for this type of story. I like that the cops in focus here take a certain pride in their work that causes them to feel a sense of jealousy or shame when the Batman swoops in and takes care of a bad guy for them. It makes sense, and it makes the story seem more grounded and realistic. Looking forward to seeing what I'm sure will be a number of fun cameos throughout the run, but also eager to get to know our main core of detectives. more

This series was decent, not great. I had higher hopes for it after a banger of an opening issue, but the jokes got kinda tired after a bit and there's only so many explosions and robots I can take before I need some actual story. It was entertaining to be sure, but it won't stay with me, and I doubt I'll ever revisit it. Glad I read it though.

Corona churned out some amazing art in this one, especially the memory sequences. I love that we're delving deeper into Abel's relationship with his Dad and Mom.

The zombie Dirk Anger thing was pretty stupid, even for a book this intentionally over-the-top ridiculous, but the series of double-page splashes depicting Nextwave fighting through the ship was insane. Never seen something quite like it before. Made for a quick read, but it was a lot of fun to look at. I bet Stuart Immonen had a blast drawing this issue.

Not much happened, but the banter between Abel and the fox was fun.

The alternate universe dreams were a little too long and a little too confusing, especially Monica's. It not working on Tabitha because she "doesn't have a brain" was kinda funny, I'll admit, but it doesn't change the fact that this was a pretty pointless issue that didn't really advance the plot at all.

The stuff with the troll was a little silly, but oh well. I didn't honestly expect to see Abel's Dad in human form again so soon! Kinda expected Abel to have to finish his quest to restore him, so that's an interesting twist.

We meet a new character and Abel and the fox head out on their quest. Abel's chest wound seems tied to his anger, which almost certainly has to do with his relationship with his Dad. I can already envision a somewhat cliché resolution along these lines, but as long as it's well executed, I don't think I'll care too much. For now, I'm just enjoying this little adventure tale and seeing where it goes. Jorge Corona's art is a treat to look at too. more

Excited to finally get into this. As a series opener, this was one hell of a start. The art from Jorge Corona was incredible. The writing was really well done, and the story seems like it's just the kind I was looking for right now. I can already tell this is going to be a super emotional series. Young and Corona did a great job with the scenes between Abel and his Dad. You can sense the resentment Abel's Dad feels towards him for his Mom leaving them, and you can clearly see Abel's desire to please his Dad but how he feels crushed under the weight of his unmeetable expectations. How these two work through their issues is going to be a captivating adventure, I'm sure, and I cannot wait to see where it takes us. I'm also super interested to learn more about the talking fox. That's a cool element that I kind of like how it's just kinda thrown in there and not explained at all in this first issue. All in all, this was a brilliant start. Really looking forward to this one. more

I'm just not really sure what the point of it all was. I guess the point is that evil will always exist, but good will always be there to keep it in check? Maybe? I don't know. Both the story and the art were more confusing than they needed to be.

I really don't know what's going on.

"Rorkannu, Lord of the Dank Dimension" absolutely sent me. As did Aaron punting Mindless Ones into the air with his elongated legs. This was a super fun issue.

I can't appreciate killing off Martha. But all in all, it's a good issue.

"I don't know what the hell is really going on anymore". Yup, that about sums it up. At least Lemire knows what his readers are thinking at this point. Story is not making much sense, but I assume it will become clearer before the end. I gotta say, I'm not loving the art. It's a little too...scratchy. It cam sometimes be hard to make out what's going on. It suits the tone of the story most of the time, but I wish it were a little better defined in some panels. more

A little disappointed with this one. Just mindless action and that's about it. When about 50% of the panels are Elsa beating robot samurais with a shovel, it gets kinda stale kinda quick. Some of the jokes are funny, and a little bit of mindless action can be enjoyable, but I'd also like to see the plot advance a little bit.

So great. One of the funnier issues yet. Aaron getting dunked on by a group of celestials and Captain America telling Monica to go back to Avengers mansion and make his dinner had me absolutely reeling. "Fear my robot head" was another gold moment. This comic is so ridiculous. I love it. More of this please.

Now we're back on track. This was up to the standard set by the first two issues. Great jokes, hilariously absurd plot...just pure entertainment. The little origin story of the Captain right in the middle of the issue was enjoyable and most welcome. I'm glad we get a little backstory.

This issue was my first exposure to the character of Vic Sage aka The Question. I liked the gritty, noir tone. I like the Question's fancy mask and gas shenanigans. I liked the detective angle and the joke about Google making it too easy. The writing was solid, the art suited the tone, and the mystery was intriguing. It didn't blow me away, but I did enjoy it quite a bit.

This one was a step down. The dialogue and humour weren't as good, and the story wasn't as interesting. Some mindless action that made for a quick read, but nothing really of substance.

This comic is absurd, ridiculous, silly, and wonderful.

I thought this was wildly entertaining. The whole thing is just a giant Marvel parody that does not take itself seriously at all, and I had a grand old time reading it. The humour was really landing for me throughout. Ellis has always been good with clever, snappy dialogue, and his work here was on par with what I know he's capable of. The art was good for the tone of the story. This issue was mainly an introduction to our main team members, so we got a healthy dose of exposition and setup, but I can only see it improving from here and I already love it. Exactly what I was in the mood for. more

I really, really enjoyed this short mini, and with the ending hinting at a possible continuation of Kade's story, I DESPERATELY hope PKJ comes back to this at some point. The world, characters, action, and story were just too good to leave it at a measly 4 issues, even if those 4 issues were fantastic. I'm very happy with what I got, but I need more. Please.

This issue was awesome. Felt like a dystopian spin on The Patriot. I'm so sad there's only one issue left cause I could read so many more if only they existed. It's a crime that this series isn't at LEAST 8-10 issues long. This has all the ingredients of a fantastic ongoing series. A little more time to flesh out the world, the characters, and the story, and it would be peak. Oh well...I'll enjoy it while it lasts. more
