It's really hard to give my thoughts on this comic. It can either be an interesting cliffhanger, or a major disappointment. Only time will tell.

But one of the praises I must give is that Bedlam II: Legend of the Curly's Gold is very funny.

Simon spurrier is one of the writers whom I am not a fan of. His writing is very hard to understand, since I feel like he's more of a fan of "black magic" or "occult" or "metaphysical" stuff similar to Grant Morrison. I tried reading Damn them All, but I couldn't understand it, and he puts out confusing explanations like "entangling conduits in the quantum waveform", or "kinetic hyper stimulation of organic molecules" or "organic homunculi"

I appreciate Simon Spurrier for the new concepts he's trying to put out, but this is too confusing for me. The one saving grace is that the art looks pretty nice and great. more

I think Waid0s writing is fine. Effective, well-paced without losing sight at characterization. However, I ahve to admit I'm not the biggest fan of how he's revising Kingodm Come at the moment, and I also think David has lost something in the transition from Boy Thudenr to the much more overtly evil Thunderman.

My only grip: it would have worked better as an Ultimate Punisher Series. But, it was very good.

Man, ever since JLU turned John Stewart from a radical architect with a social conscience to a tough-as-nails marine, his character has been pretty one-note and has suffered as a result.
Plus how clichéd is it to have a GL member be a military guy.
At least this writer has said he's going to refocus on the architect part, but there's a lot of character salvaging to do here. Not there yet. more

I feel like I'm wondering through the desert myself trying to find a way to enjoy this series again. Guillen is skilled in his storytelling with Exodus and Xavier but it's not hooking me. I'll see what happens but Fall of X isn't doing it for me.
Edit: I forgot to mention Paco Medina on art was nice and he gives Selene that beautifully menacing look.

Step down from DCeased: Dead Earth

Pacing has gotten too slow

Zdarsky has lost his way. He himself is a good enough writer, but he constantly learns on poor writers to help him develop ideas and it shows. We saw how the Failsafe arc ended (The insane/dumb way Batman makes it back from the Moon was Ryan Norths idea as stated by Chip).

Now he works with Tini, a writer who books constantly drop after she takes over and who much of the time has her books cancelled due to how poorly they are written. It is clear this 'event' is being used to boost the faltering Catwoman sales and it shows.

This issue is a mess. I don't really want to go into more detail as it is depressing to contemplate this book, but skip it. Skip this event. Its not worth your money or time. Even if you are a completionist, just save yourself the money. Don't do this to yourself. more

This was amazing! A truly dark take on an issue of Action that I for one loved. Here we get Supergirl and Martian Manhunter together in the bowels of hell and it is actually quite disturbing. The thought of Doomsday surviving the horrors of Hell, and with the way his powers work, is a horrifying concept. This came out of left field for me and I'm so glad I read it. Freaking Bloodwynd is in this (even though it's not actually Martian Manhunter)!!!! The art made me drool so much I probably ruined the book with water damage lol. This is the kind of comic we should all be buying and showing support for. more

I have never read an interesting Batman comic written by Joshua Williamson.

A little corny in parts, but overall a fun/ interesting issue that felt different than a large amount of this run so far.
