That was a very fun ride. Not indispensable, but who picks up a title like this expecting it to be indispensable? Honestly, this is better than Empyre itself.

Man, the pacing in this book is weird. This issue finally feels like we're getting a glimpse of some of who the dozens of characters are, but that only highlights that they've been faceless cyphers for six issues — and now that we've gotten the slightest glance at them apparently we're barreling into the extra-sized finale to the first storyline?

Still, taken on its own merits, this is one of the better issues of the series. I'm warming to some of Bendis's characters —in particular, his bright-eyed and curious but also controlling Braniac 5 is beginning to convince. And although Ryan Sook's beautiful art is missed, Stephen Byrne is a perfect choice for a fill-in. A decent part of a shapeless and awkward whole. more

The Dodsons' art was uncharacteristically choppy here, but Zdarsky was on top form, something I haven't felt about every issue of this mini. The bit where Mr. Fantastic hugs Franklin made me tear up, and the ending was a top-notch addition to the discomforting and even sinister undercurrent that's run through Hickman's X-Men. All in all, a solid ending to an uneven miniseries.

Wow, that was a fun start! Like everyone else, I'm hoping that Tamaki's run is where this book turns a corner and becomes a book that's consistently fun to read again. Wonder Woman going to Ikea was a hoot.

Man, I have slept on Venditti's work apparently, because his Superman is great. This story is nothing we haven't seen before — once you've got the setup, you can pretty much guess where it's going to go — but Venditti brings real heart and joy to the execution. Whenever Bendis's hopelessly uneven run finally limps to a conclusion, I'd love to see Venditti take over one of the main titles. This comic has been one of the more pleasant surprises of the COVID schedule-filler comics more

Finally an installment of this series that lives up to expectations! I'd been starting to lose hope

Just wonderful. I was a skeptic when this comic began and wasn't sure why everyone else was so into this comic, but here at the note-for-note perfect ending I have no choice but to acknowledge that I was wrong to doubt this series: it was perfect and beautiful and I want another one right away please.

Fun story, great art, I loved this one. It didn't really seem to have much to do with Empyre, but given that Empyre is looking pretty dull that's another point in its favor.
