I don't give out 10s often, but this is a perfect comic. Art is great and the story makes you feel.

I had phantom pains while reading this comic. Which, in this case, is a good thing.

Another perfect issue.

This issue is an EASY 10/10.

This is comicbook excellence at its zenith. You could teach an art class how to make a comic with this, just this issue alone. It has everything a good comic book must have, and has it in excess.

The writing is brilliant. The wording of the dislogue mimicking spontaneous thought if the protagonist, flowing alongside the colorful, hopeless panels... its incredible, truly.

The art... this is a masterclass in comic book art. And art in general. Everything is here. Lighting, figure work, paneling, pacing, angling, it is ALL there. This is insane, how good this is.

The narrative itself simple, but complete. Thus could be a short film. You dont even need to read the two prior issues to enjoy this.

On the running for the beat issue I've read all year. And I loved the first two. But this, this could be a landmark single issue. There is so much fine tuned, refined excellence of comic book crafting here. If this isn't under consideration for multiple eisners next season I dont know what they're looking for. more

- Art wise this is the best comic series of the year -

Story it's awesome but for now the most unique concept ever. And so a subscription is earned.

Waited a while to grab this. Was gonna pass but the high praise for the art got me to give it a go.

I was not disappointed. The art is astonishing, but thats hardly surprising. That said the detail and color work and composition and storytelling are all at peak levels here. Finch puts his decades of expertise on full display and it is a marvel to witness.

But the story here doesn't slack either. Its a very straightforward narrative but the character work is clear and direct; and what worldbuilding is there is done well.

I think I'll be picking up the whole series. more

This issue has a rainstorm in the desert, a fire, a sauna, a betrayal, three rescues, a character backstory, 5 different villains, 4 heroes,at least 3 action scenes, a gatling gun, mutant monsters, and this is just the second issue. Oh and cow puns. A TON of cow puns.

Talk about bang for your bull- er, buck.

This is 100% a filler arc and I’m not here for it. Call me when Pete’s back on earth. Hell the Norman spidey stuff is even way more interesting than this. I just…. Don’t care.

This is just really good stuff. Sure, the overall pacing of the plot could be quicker, but I am liking everything this book has to offer. Especially the art, it is astonishing.

But the writing here is also really good. Keep on Kelly, you have not let me down yet.

Holy cow. I freaking LOVED this issue.

Im a big fan of no kill rules in my superheroes. I think its a strong moral framework that separates them from other vigilantes.

And despite the fact my favorite superhero Rocket is in this issue, and acts as an OPPONENT to that stance, this issue does a fantastic job of displaying why its such a strong stance to have. And Kelly, through Peter, words a fantastic argument for not killing.

But even aside from that, Peter taking down Black Dwarf? When's the last time we've even seen the Cull Obsidian in a book? It was a very cool fight. Pepe Larraz is in his bag as usual. May he draw spidey for many issues to come.

This issue had everything I want. This might be my favorite Spidey issue in YEARS. Peter was so good here. This felt like an 80s space farer tale, a ton of fun, but with a beating(or as Rocket says, bleeding) heart. more

Al Ewing is a writer that I dont vibe with. So the fact that I am giving this issue a high score says a lot. I am intrigued on how this goes, and even though it's dialogue heavy it works. The more I read it, the more I find new and interesting things. And Giuseppe caminolli art works for me here.

Man this rocks! The goat arrived now, let's see how it will go for him and for clark.

Now THATS how you make a statement. Dang.

This is a very obscure property but if you've watched the original cartoon this is a very strong adaptation. An origin story for the central character "Moo Montana" it shows how he came to first visit Cowtown.

The artwork is very memorable and kinetic, the script is full of puns and is very tongue in cheek in a neat way. Its a solid read. And im looking forward to more.

I'ma just judge this on its cover story, which is has surprisingly tight writing. A Deadpool comic is only as good as his jokes and these ones are great.

This issue is ultimately a ton of fun with some interesting combos and great art. The dialogue hits art. It has my favorite marvel and my favorite dc character share panel space, which i never pictured happening.

Its a celebration of these two comic book juggernauts.

The concept of five hundred different Spider-People (or Wolverines, or Captain Americas…) in the same universe has never worked for me. All the stupid Spider-Kids, in combination with McGuinness‘s cartoony oversized art, make this feel less like a regular issue and more like something you’d find on the back of a cereal box.

I would say as an overall package, this is a really good and enjoyable comic. Ed's art shines here, I wish he stays on this title for longer. Writing is also really good, I enjoyed all the interactions and especially the voice Kelly has for Norman is really good.

The only part I am disappointed in, is how Ben is handled. There are still so many questions relating to him (how and why being the biggest ones) and I hope that plot will start moving soon. To any direction. more

Between ed mcguinness always beigna. Pleasure and Joe Kelly's voice for Norman, this might be my favorite issue of the run so far.

I can always get behind other people seeing how hard Peter works, but the play here with it being norman and how that effects not only his actions as Spidey but his mental state, is pretty entertaining to read and provides the necessary depth to be a backdrop for the action sequence here.

This culminated in Norman using his experience fighting Spidey to his advantage against the other web warriors which was really fun. And again, mcguiness just brings it every time. That splash page is brilliant and kinetic in the best way. I had a good time with this one

A very though Genre to crack and they did it. The art wise it is just ab-so-lu-te-ly gorgeous, the story is brutal as it should be and everything works so well together.

Really Really good

A true gem and probably a future classic.

Written by Rick Remember with art by Daniel Aćuna, Escape #1 is a gorgeously illustrated and depth fully written wartime drama book but the beating heart of rhe story feels very relevant to modern day occurrences.

Without getting into spoilers, this series takes place in what is obviously an allegorical presentation of WWII(tho its not explicitly stated to be WWII), and this first issue spends its time placing the main players into the situation from which they need to "escape". If you've seen a lot of war movies or read a lot of war comics it's nothing entirely new aside from the caveat that these are all animal characters but protrayed in a much more gritty mature environment, not unlike the Blacksad series(which in also a fan of).

The main character is Milton, captain of a missile snd gunner squadron who find themselves facing a dire mission that could doom them all or potentially end the war against the bats. The "Bats" are, yes, actual bats, and obvious Nazi stand ins, but the series explores the sentiment of whether or not all the bat population is condemned for the actons of their military force and their leaders who force many of the soldiers into service.

This culminated in the crew having to make a potentially costly decision as the issue goes on and based on the presentation its going to affect the rest of this story.

I won't get into much more but to say I found it highly engaging and an interesting angle to play in a time where we are seeing a lot more moral scrutiny for the actions of military resources in wartime. Theres plenty of action too, but this book does not seek to thrill with its portrayal of violence; it seeks to horrify, and I think it manages to pull that off in no small part thanks to the beautiful rendered art of Daniel Acuna. Hes worked with some of the biggest characters in comics and hes always brought his A game, and here is no different. But this book has am intense realism to the violence shown that makes for memorable and heart reaching imagery. There are panels here that stick with you even as much as the narrative does. more

This book demands to be read.

If you thought this was a bad issue, you really have no taste.

I only am really reading comics on the MCU app so rarely review anything as it’s at least three months old by the time I read it. But this, this is a perfect comic- great restrained writing and nuanced art. I just loved it and feel I kind of have to write a review just because sometimes shouting into the void is worth it when you’re shouting about something you love.

I… don’t know what to say… this is the best issue I have ever read… it’s perfect. And the art… best I’ve seen in a comic book. Wow… I’m speechless.

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.
