A 10 to counter Masked Marvel's inevitable review bombing.
Amazing Spider-Man #29
BEST FR(ENEMIES)! Spider-Man's best friend's life shattered by a terrible accident - and Peter Parker is to blame! Is there a new villain on Spidey's block?
Trying to shove a round Nightwing into a square story is not working - this book is worse than bad, it's inconsequential and boring.
Nightwing #138
There have long been legends of something bestial lurking in the forests just outside of Blüdhaven. Some say it’s demonic. Others think it’s extraterrestrial. When a trail of violent incidents seems to connect this creature to the city’s new super-highway, Nightwing resolves to get to the bottom of it. What he uncovers will bring one of his Titans ...
Wonder Woman #33
After infiltrating the Matriarch’s prison, Wonder Woman and Trinity rally their allies for the battle to come. Will their army be enough to stop the unstoppable? Can the Matriarch maintain her hold on the world while sitting atop her throne of lies? Plus, the reunion you’ve been waiting for...Diana has finally found her lost love Steve Trevor!
just bad
Ultimate Endgame #4
SPIDER-MAN MEETS HIS MAKER! Time is ticking on the Ultimate Universe!!! In this penultimate issue of the most climactic super-hero event EVER(!)…heroes will fall, villains will rise and your favorite characters will be forced to make difficult sacrifices!
Absolute Martian Manhunter #11
As relationships and reality crumble around him, John comes face-to-face with the Agency’s mysterious boss!
Fraction obviously didn’t read any of Damian character development in the pat 3+ years
Batman #9
After making a sinister deal with Mayor Isley, Commissioner Vandal Savage initiates “Operation Peregrine,” sending his brutal TUCO squads across Gotham City on a singular mission: Bring in the Batman! Batman and his team must destroy and abandon their hideouts, safeguard their data, and escape the long arm of the law… but not everyone will make it ...
Another lame and boring Poem - it didn't work the first time, and now it's bad and redundant. Deniz Camp is the most overrated writer of the last 20 years!
Ultimates #23
THOR AND THE FLAMES OF ASGARD! Thor and Sif join the war on the Maker in this grand epic! Thor's deal with Surtur comes to fruition, and each page is a masterpiece in its own right!
Seems like he lives rent free in your head too you goober.
Infernal Hulk #6
INTRODUCING THE HELLBUSTER ARMOR! When Infernal Hulk pushes Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to the brink, IRON MAN leads an overpowered strike force to level the Living City and end the Age of Monsters forever. Will Tony’s new HELLBUSTER ARMOR and the spear of the ONE ABOVE ALL be enough to keep him alive against the INFERNAL HULK? Or will he be corrupted...
Underrated. The thinking man's Batman. No wonder all the dullards hate it so.
Batman #1
"I AM GOTHAM" chapter one
No one has ever stopped the Caped Crusader. Not The Joker. Not Two-Face. Not even the entire Justice League. But how does Batman confront a new hero who wants to save the city from the Dark Knight?
CAN'T MISS: Superstar artist David Finch returns to Batman alongside writer Tom King for this five-part storyline.
Cheers Hex. The terminology GH has used tells me everything I assumed about him is correct. Very revealing indeed.
This series is so engaging, I can't wait to see how it unfolds
Deathstroke: The Terminator #2
Someone’s taken everything from Deathstroke, and hell hath no fury like an assassin scorned! He’s on the road to find a mysterious client, but it won’t be easy. He’s lost his money, his resources, his family, and his best friend and moral compass. What happens when the world’s most terrifying assassin has nothing left to lose?
Dig the direction. Waid does an excellent Luthor, derp derp.
Justice League Unlimited #18
Unlimited? Definitely. United? Hardly. The strongest voices in the Justice League have begun granting amnesty—and membership—to super-villains, and mutiny is brewing! Plus: Guy Gardner leads a mission that will have startling consequences for the entire galaxy!
Prime Derp rules Derp.
Superman #37
Superboy Prime gets a new real-life job with a new secret identity while he protects Metropolis from dangerous threats! But there is a whole DC Comics universe out there for him to explore, and the fanboy in him wants to see it all…Too bad there are heroes who don’t trust him and think he should be locked up!
Nightwing is my favorite character - I don't know who the guy is in this book!
Nightwing #136
A new era begins here for Blüdhaven and its hero. The city’s new super-highway was meant to be its lifeline but has instead become a hotbed of strange and violent incidents. Nightwing’s investigation into this haunted road drives him toward a tragedy from which he may never recover—and sends him looking for answers in Blüdhaven’s tragic past. Super...
I'm with SpeedForce23 above - I am only reading to see if it can get any worse, and sadly, Tom King keeps proving it can. He rarely "gets" a character, but it becomes glaringly obvious when he writes one as well-known and beloved as Diana. Hey Tom, stick to characters like Human Target and leave Wonder Woman and her fans alone!
Wonder Woman #32
After a disastrous attempt at stopping the Matriarch, she has risen more powerful than ever. Now it’s up to Trinity, who finds herself alone as her allies fall one by one, to stop her childhood companion. Can the daughter of Wonder Woman finally live up to the name and all the pressures that come with it?
This book is just poorly written - wooden dialogue, awful pacing, too many characters. Parralax taking over John should feel bigger, but how can it, when it all was a prop to give us "John Stewart, this is your Life"
Green Lantern Corps #15
Possessed by the emotional entity of fear, Parallax, John Stewart is forced to face all his fears in order to regain control of his body. In the next galaxy over, Guy Gardner and his group of Lanterns search for Proselyte, the entity of compassion, outside of their jurisdiction, risking wars among the stars!
Everything here seemed rushed. The art has a huge drop in quality in some panels.
It's impressive that an arc lasting over a year brought nothing new to the main character of the comic.
Edited: With more time now.
Nightwing, merely an observer in his own comic, achieves no victory in the end. He failed to save the children; one was left behind because Nightwing nev

Nightwing #135
Nightwing must lead Blüdhaven’s stolen children to safety, but the Zanni won’t let them go without a fight. With Nightwing-Prime at his side, the battle reaches its breaking point and sacrifices must be made! But while the city takes its first steps toward recovery, a darker plan begins to take shape in Blüdhaven’s halls of power…Don’t miss the iss...
Why does every issue make me feel like past issues didn't matter instead of building on what happened before?
Amazing Spider-Man #21
DAWN OF THE GOBLIN SLAYERS PART TWO! The sins of Norman Osborn come back to haunt him and everyone he cares about! Norman and the other Spiders THROW DOWN against Hobgoblin and his Goblin Slayer army! And one of the Spiders makes the ultimate sacrifice!
A incomprehensible mess
Ultimate Endgame #2
THE END HAS ONLY JUST BEGUN! The heroes of the Ultimate Universe - including Spider-Man, America Chavez, Killmonger and Doom - desperately search for a way to stop the Maker. Plus, Iron Lad makes a stunning and heartbreaking discovery that could change the fate of the entire Ultimate Universe forever. Don't miss this pivotal chapter that will leave...
What can be said about this book... I'll start with this. Jeremy Adams is a normally fantastic, fun writer. I love his run on Green lantern and Aquaman. When he is left alone to flesh out stories and ideas he thrives. But he leans into bad ideas and past mistakes in an effort to make it better. Sometimes it's best left alone. This is an idea that DC editorial came to him with and most likely said more
DC K.O.: Boss Battle
Unexpected fighters from beyond the DC Comics enter the arena! Wait... What? WHO?! As the remaining champions in the K.O. tournament prepare for the final rounds, they discover that there isn't enough Omega energy left to crown the winner a King Omega. To have any hope of stopping Darkseid, they'll need to engage in combat with the champions of oth...
Gabe, less people visit the site because of people like you and your tiresome negativity. Do you even like comics? To me it appears you glean zero joy for any of it. Also - using TDS to frame your insult. You are a writer, are you not? How brutally uninspired. You a MAGA Republican? Because if so, the mystery of your negativity has now been solved.
Can't help but notice that the dead site that Gabe used to write reviews for is no longer getting counted for critic reviews. Something about throwing stones in glass houses and all that.
