I found the art and colors very beautiful. The plot structure is very similar to the Silver Age. I liked the characterization too. I liked it overall.

I hopped back on the series after missing 10 or so issues and wasnt missing a beat. They are delivering on the action and character moments, with Magneto and Cyclops both getting fun moments here. Stegman and co. deliver strong art. Its just fun. Ill be sticking around for a bit.

Cyclops's mini-monologue was the highlight of this issue for me.

This series hasnt slowed down for one minute, and while this is a setup issue, it is a harrowing display of stakes for the Autobots while also being yet another brilliant character analysis for both Prime and Megatron.

All I know is that Im very hopeful whoever is following Warrens footsteps is able to character this energy along with the weight of the warfare. The art speaks for itself. Corona deserves Eisners for what hes drawing on the pages here. more

Condon has wraped up this hard hitting arc in a way that displays his understanding of Olivers character and his virtue. Its poignant without being preachy, and heroic without being unrealistic. Green Arrow is in good hands.

I hopped on this art for the mirka andolfo art and she did not disappoint.

This is very goofy and inane and also the perfect vehicle to sell Harleys inner conflict... and resolution heheh

This was terrible once again this book fails only way to save MJ’s character is to reveal this MJ is a clone made by Paul. So the real MJ can be hidden and free from this character assassination.

Dylan remains a fiend.

I dig this. It still works for me and makes sense for me.

This issue is mostly setting up what happened between MJ and Venom and its actually kinds clever. Al Ewing has been writing venom now for a minute and his characterization of his struggle between good and evil always us a fun think to watch play out. Here its led to a new Venom host in Mary Jane, and I think she's actually doing s pretty nice job as the latest venom.

Not much else going on for this issue but the next one looks exciting. more

Is this really as bad as people are saying?
Or perhaps, the character is so popular that it is literally impossible to please everyone?

For the mean time, I'm enjoying this. It's not DC Absolute or Ultimate Spider-Man level but I don't feel it's bad as it's being made out to be.

I feel like people's reaction to everything these days is default negativity and expectations of perfection.

I never read Deadpool and spodey so this is my first exposure to itsy bitsy and I quite like her as a villain. Sort of like a spider-harley Quinn type. A little psycho, a lil freaky. This redesign of hers is pretty awesome. Maybe she can get an action figure now.

Solid issue, the action scenes are really good. Pepe larraz art is hitting and exceeding every expectation. Sometimes he draws panels in sideways or upside down do you can turn the book and see from Peter's perspective. Its very cool.

Gotta say I never expected Norman being "good" for so long and their dynamic has reached a point where I enjoy seeing them talk. They've always had similarities eith their scientific minds so it's refreshing to have them tackle a problem together.

Kinda more interested in this stuff than whatever hellgate is but im open to see what Kelly comes up with. This run is 3/3 for me so far.

No connection to thus character but this was very fun and well drawn.

Gritty and mature. Worth it.

GA is back to being self-righteous taking down A-holes. What is not to like? A sort of back to the basics for GA which is a good place to go after all the madness he has been through and the repairs Williamson did on his run.

The opening pages on how some citizens struggle with housing really do hit hard because it's all too relatable. I also really like the art in this story as well. It reminds me of Andrea Sorrentino

This series continues to tell a hard hitting, grounded story that is illustrated excellently.

I've not heard of Montos before this book. But my word, his paneling and sense of procession is very very good. He approaches it like a cinematopher with great lighting and angles.

This issue is action heavy and serves as a crescendo for the story. Chris condon gets this character and his mindset as he fights. more

This is a fun issue with. Lot of punch. The art is simply sublime and it teasing some good old fisticuffs to come soon.

The opening narrative is a little hard to follow but I read the description of Peter's dream as being a cool metaphor for his life as Spider-Man and his struggles. We'll see where it goes.

All of the Absolute books fall somewhere between good and fantastic, but of the six of them this is the one that's really poised to take its place among the greatest portrayals of its protagonist. I haven't read a Wonder Woman run this good since Rucka, and frankly even Rucka wasn't this good every single month.

This book is so good it's almost comical.

Like, each issue has been steadily better than the last for the most part. And yet, the level of quality has not hit a wall or petered out. Its very much still killing it in every regard.

This issue might be the best since the reboot. The crushing emotions and the weight of everything happening here as the brothers go through turmoil is insane.

Juan Ferreyra outdoes himself with every page, every panel. Hes literally about to become my favorite tmnt artist of all time with this book.

This series is a must read. more

Another fantastic issue of TMNT featuring the stunning artwork of Juan Ferreyra – an artist I will definitely continue to follow in the future. Simply amazing!

The story is well-built and deeply captures the strained relationships between the brothers, making them truly relatable and tangible.

If you’re a comic fan, this is a must-read!

Gotta say, art was phenomenal. And I liked what Kelly's idea was for this and message was heartful So, I can confidently say that if the hack fraud who works for the Spidey office as the main editor doesn't quit by 1000, then I will. The sheer level of incompetence this storyline has showcased has been disrespectful and horrible to see.

Like, way to ruin a nice idea by Kelly. Like what the hell was this storyline. What a waste of time with no consequence

What was the point of Peter moping for three issues, cheating Shay or treating her horribly, breaking up with her and then getting back together. The only thing managed was to showcase what a joke that relationship is and how horribly Shay is been treated. At least show some character we saw from her in #55.

What was the point of that one-off between Peter and Felicia. It didn't change anything. Only lessened the relationship between them. Why where the rest of the X-Men here besides Juggernaut. This is the second team-up we see with them and Spidey and it means nothing. Why do they need to bring Cyclops and Magik here, if they don't interact with the main character at all. Don't they have trust that this will sell? Who is this for???

I like the idea of Cyttorak being the new casket. But what we have seen from this storyline, rules don't matter at all, so by the next time we see Cyttorak, Randy Robertson can be the new casket because why not.

And when the Fraud mentioned that it was Kelly's idea they started to work on, I got the idea how it went down. Kelly wanted to do a story where he showcased Peter's love for life and how it can affect even immortal gods like Cyttorak and motivate them to do good by seeing the beauty of life. It's a beautiful idea and Kelly does his best here to showcase it. The rest of this arc pretty much ruins it by disastrous editing, since there is no clear vision how to make it last for 12 issues.

And they even didn't get the name right for this. If all other mistakes and choices weren't enough, they can't even name the storyline correctly. 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN!!! WHERE HE FACES 8 SCIONS OF CYTTORAK. BUT ACTUALLY IT'S ONLY 5. HE ALSO DIES ONLY 5 TIMES. TWO OF THE SCIONS AREN'T EVEN SEEN, JUST KILLED OFF-SCREEN. more

Plot
Spider-Man has the power of Cyttorak thanks to Cyra's sacrifice. He is Spider-naut, and with the help of Juggernaut, he manages to stop Cyttorak's attack, who understood the value of life thanks to Cyra's sacrifice. Doctor Doom chose Spider-Man for this competition to break Cyttorak's unbreakable will.

Peter returns to normal and understands the value of his life and that its fragility is beautiful. He apologizes to Black Cat, MJ, Aunt May, and Shay, with whom he will begin his romance anew.

This arc finally ends. Although it had a good premise, it was longer than necessary. Now this comic is rebooted.

Art
McGuinness presents his super classic and nostalgic art that highlights facial expressions and achieves dynamic sequences with bold and brilliant angles.

Summary
Spider-naut unleashes his unstoppable power.
Closing of Story Arc 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN more

This is a great end to this arc. Excellent Peter moments. Hom exemplifying love for life is pitch perfect.

The arc had its down moments but this was a great finale. The art makes it an 8 alone.

Read this book.

There’s alotta reprints for issues 1-6; hunt them down and enjoy a glorious first arc.

I didn’t love the 2nd arc as much, but that’s to be expected. They opted to lay groundwork, and that forethought pays off swell in the third arc.

If you don’t jump in now, then you’re bound to regret it. DWJ is so hot right now.

DWJ is on a generational streak with this series. I've not seen a book this consistently good in a long long time and I can't believe we're already 18 months into this. The epic visuals; the pitch perfect characterization and the ambitious storytelling do not tke breaks. There are no filler issues, no padding. All of it is in your face and relevant to the ongoing story and this issue culminates everything that has happened so far into the return of a character just as iconic to this brand and to pop culture as Optimus himself.

Its been building for a while but the moments of gravitas interspersed throughout the chaotic action still feel fresh and poignant. My anticipation for what's to come cannot be higher. more

The story is solid but the art is the highlight here. Juan Ferreyra's art and panels are on another level making the action so dynamic and full of energy.

This series has been killing and the art is now more amazing than ever. Jason Aaron and Juan Ferreyra are on the top of their game

7 issues in and this series has hit a great stride. Its been building up so much tension, inner conflict and outer; and moving many pieces between this book and the other runs happening simultaneously.

This issue kicks the entire thing into high gear, with some of the best dialoguw and narration I've seen in a while. Jason Aaron is outdoing himself, and if Juan Ferreyra isn't already on your radar as a top notch comic book cartoonist hed better be now. These panels and pages are filled with emotion; the hits on the page feel impactful, and the lighting is Gothic while maintaining the highlights of greens, reds and blues that TMNT is known for. This feels in the vein of the original Mirage series, with the action on screen complimenting the character dynamics.

This relaunch has been a resounding success. more

I'm usually not a big fan of slow-paced character moments because I tend to prefer a lot of engaging action and dialogue. However, this issue was an exception, and besides the art I really like how we see Oliver Queen's mental state after seeing the latest victim. It's quiet, but the dialogue works and for once I got to put my shoe where my mouth is. This was a good issue in my opinion due to good dialogue, pacing, great art, and overall characters. more

The best thing about this is not the narrative or the art, tho both of those are excellent; especially the latter.

The best thing is that writer Chris Condon understands Green Arrow. You can have a good run on Green arrow without understanding or showing everything about him, but when you get past his MO and left wing politics, Oliver Queen is ultimately someone driven by empathy, and filled with rage. When you showcase those aspects of his character, he really sings. This issue shows that in a great way, especially in his moments alone toward the end.

This is a great example of a greta Green Arrow comic more
