Amazing introduction to Kitty Pryde’s new status quo. She has a very unique problem that really makes you feel for her. The way she chooses to work through that problem is both highly entertaining and a great example of why Kitty Pryde is an all-time great X-Man. Supporting cast is also top notch, definitely the team I’m most excited about in Dawn of X. Text pages that Hickman has been using are employed here to hilarious effect. Gerry Duggan is just good at writing humor. I hope they show more Bishop in the next issue, because he doesn’t get much here, but Marauders has got me hooked already. more

Gerry Duggan writes a great Kitty Pryde.

Sometimes weird dialogue. Not the worst thing ever.

Still deeply disappointing. Cantwell and Culbard clearly want this series to seem quirky and profound, but it is just pretentious and vacuous.

I love it when we get to takes a break from Batman and get follow the man behind the mask, This issue may be mainly just here for set up but it has great feel to it. The action set piece is interesting. My only problem is that the cover promises Mr. Freeze but he is only in the last page. However this doesn't ruin the excellent story that promises an even better follow up.

Very cool issue.

Don't let the cover fool you, Mr. Freeze is barely in this issue at all and instead, we got Deadshot who's on a mission that we know nothing about right now.

Most of the issue is Bruce doing work for Wayne Enterprises, which is something we barely see these days if at all. Nonetheless, it was nice to see.

The story itself wasn't all that interesting, but I still like where this is going.

Oh, and the art was great. more

"I have it good authority Batman does not kill."

Stuff with Naomi? Really good, a reminder how well BMB writes teens despite being 50. The stuff with Red Cloud? Surprisingly clumsy.

"You cleaned the grill again"

Good issue. Fun and entertaining.

The stuff with Naomi was a blast. She is such a fun character. Her banter with Superman and Batman was well written. When BMB wants, he can write good dialogue.

Then we're back to the Red Cloud/Levithan business. Red Cloud got a serious upgrade form Apex Lex. The Man of Steel is in trouble.

The ending is really abrupt though and I am still not a fan of Kudranski's art. more

Amazing stuff. The story was amazing. The art was amazing, for me the only issue is Batman's trunks look like fucking panties but other than that the art was amazing. Also a moment where they censor "fuck" like twice but they say "fuck" thru out the book like 20 times. That was a little odd. Also Batman's joke was fucking terrible. Again loved the book, go pick it up. All the stuff i didn't mention means I liked it. more

Almost perfect. Reads more like Silence of the Lambs than a traditional Batman story. This is a character study of Harley in a way that has never been done before. Brilliant story telling from a master of the medium.

Spectacular 300th issue, indeed. Let me tell this first, I have never read a Spawn comic before and since this is a historic issue I thought I'd take a look. I was stunned by the development of the character, McFarlane and Snyder tells a consistent and modern story - the beginning of something exciting. Art is terrifyingly good, it proves McFarlane has come a long way since 1992.
