_maite14 reviewed Batman/Catwoman #7 Sep 12, 2021
I really want to enjoy this story, but the storytelling has gotten so convoluted I honestly can’t even tell you what’s happening.

Well, he’ll soon find out that some questions are better left unasked. If he’s going to test her loyalty, she’s going to test his mettle. Thus, Bruce Wayne finds himself locked in a b...

_maite14 reviewed X-Force #23 Sep 8, 2021
Thoroughly enjoyed this one, particularly Beast’s introspection juxtaposed by Mikhail’s personal voyage. I found the pacing and handling of the two primary narratives to be a refreshing divergence from previous issues. Looking forward to seeing this unfold.

_maite14 reviewed Superman: Red & Blue #6 Sep 1, 2021
Yet another stellar installment in this run. At times the themes and motifs of this issue feel repetitive of previous ones; however, the stunning artwork and poignant vignettes of Superman and his most recognizable allies continue to make this series a necessity to check out.

It’s the final issue of this free-form anthology, featuring the Metropolis Marvel in new stories, bedazzled in his signature colors.

Not to mention, the return of Streaky the Supercat by superstar cart...
_maite14 reviewed Wonder Girl #3 Sep 1, 2021
Though the narrative in Wonder Girl has been interesting thus far, this issue slowed the pace a bit too much for my liking. I also felt as though the plot got a bit more convoluted. However, I'm still engaged in the story and looking forward to the next installment, and no one can deny that Jones' art is absolutely superb.

_maite14 reviewed Black Widow #10 Aug 31, 2021
I've enjoyed this series from the start and have found Thompson's narrative to be particularly engaging. I'm also partial to Anya Corazon and have been so happy to see her in this run. However, my favorite component of this series, and this issue in particular has been the artwork. Casagrande, de Latorre, Bellaire, and Petit truly bring some captivating panels to this issue. Of course, Hughes deli more

_maite14 reviewed Teen Titans Academy #6 Aug 31, 2021
This series isn't my favorite DC run right now, but I have enjoyed the dynamics between the characters. I adore Stitch, and particularly liked the shift in focus from the Red X arc that I feel has gotten drawn out and contrived. Overall, a decent installment that has a pretty wild cliffhanger.
