You sound stupid
This one shot does a fantastic job capturing the feels of what Superman is all about. Nothing ground breaking but just a nice story showing what a great guy Clark is. What really makes this issue special is the amazing art from all 3 artists, with Jorge Jimenez especially standing out. Jimenez brings so much life to his arc full of energy any emotion. Young Lana & Clark couldn't have been drawn anmore

THE LEGEND BEGINS! The Norse Myths tell of Gods who walked the Earth, doing great deeds for the mortals who believed in them. But Asgard isn't real, and never was. The Gods never soared in our skies, never stood with our heroes, never fought for kindness or justice. It was all just a story. Nobody's coming to help us. But somewhere in the city... a...
Enh. The "oh so edgy" stylings along with the fact that this entire story is one part flashback and two parts hypothetical essentially turns it into pointless filler.
DC really hasn't changed: after 90 years they're still publishing stories that turn out to be "imaginary stories".
Learn the origin of Bane! What drives the muscle-bound behemoth, and how did he arrive in Gotham?
Its more to illustrate that his priority isn't nor has it ever actually been the comics themselves or the quality therein. He's just an internet incel that cherry picks content and rails against anything modern. Ask him what he actually likes, he dodges the question. Look at his reviews, it's all just bad faith tanking. Not someone to be taken seriously and when they show up, should be written off quickly.
I still love this. The art shake up has unfairly led to the positivity that was surrounding this run being halted.
Lemire's quality story telling remains.
Just who are the mysterious Rogues chasing after Wally West, and how did they join Project Olympus?
This should have won the Eisner for best new series, not Wonder Woman.
Utterly awful politics at play. Absolute Batman wasn't even nominated. The numbers don't lie. The fact it wasn't even included in the nominations exposes them.
10.
Absolute Batman is the best new series.
Learn the origin of Bane! What drives the muscle-bound behemoth, and how did he arrive in Gotham?
This was a solid miniseries with some good representation. It was never a top series for me, but I didn't have a bad time reading it. Don't let the clearly hate-inspired reviews throw you off. Give it a shot.
Alan Scott's final battle with the Red Lantern rages to a fever pitch! With Alan overcome with anger at his mortal enemy, will he cross a line he's never thought he would? The explosive conclusion of one of the Green Lantern's earliest adventures is here, and the fallout will affect Alan Scott forever!
Chapter 9 is one of my favorite manga chapters ever. I love the bond that Ayase and Okarun developed, how cute the two are just wanting to talk to each other, then Ayase getting her feelings hurt because she thinks Okarun doesn't want to talk to her. It feels real. That's slice of life. That happens every day in high school. Another girl enters Okarun's life even if only briefly and Ayase is quickmore
Okarun, a high school boy obsessed with supernatural phenomena, is cursed by Turbo Granny! Along with his classmate Momo Ayase, he challenges Turbo Granny to a game of tag as a means to lift the curse. If the two can stay out of her reach until the finish line, they'll win. But Turbo Granny's assassin, a bound spirit in the form of a giant crab, ha...
Once again, a very forseeable move by Doom that "the smartest man on earth" never saw coming.
And since when does Reed call himself the world's smarterst man.
Someday North will be off the FF and it'll be a good day.
Doom’s reign has been a success for months – with even some of the heroes questioning if they’re on the right side. A final desperate gamble is conceived, and Reed reveals a terrible secret he’s acquired about Doom’s global domination – but will it be enough? And what has Doom been hiding under that Latverian Dome? All is revealed – a...
I've given like 2 books a 1 and said woke was a good thing. I don't know what they think review bombing is. I mean they're just throwing out the bigot card and outright lying or just not bothering to look into what they're saying. Some people just want to virtue signal and argue. I just hate Karen's being snide punks instead of simply saying "hey, what about this take on the book instead?". They're mad at being called out on their poor behavior and can only act offended even though they are
I was really looking forward to this team-up. Solo, Lando, and Valance - come on. That's a recipe for adventure, yet Segura gives us none. This issue was just plain awful. He really gets Dick Tracy, but when it comes to Star Wars, he's absolutely clueless. Half of this issue is a flashback about a character I don't care about. And what's with calling the assassin "they"? I thought we were through more
RETURN TO CLOUD CITY! HAN SOLO, BEILERT VALANCE and LANDO CALRISSIAN must help an old friend. Witness the long friendship of HAN, CHEWIE and LANDO in exciting flashbacks to bygone eras! And a mysterious figure from the past re-emerges using a new model CLOUD CAR!
I guess you can google it. It has been changed RECENTLY to include nonbinary people as well because of all the uproar from certain people but until the last few years it didn't. Calling one person they is kinda the new made up thing here. Not really a big deal just true. As I said, things change and each generation makes new rules but you can't just change the past or the truth. I guess you can say traditionally it's true if it makes you feel better about it.
Anyway, this is all I'll say about it. Feel any way anyone wants it'll never be good enough. I'm done commenting or doing anything other than scoring comics. I see the same ol' faces on this site are still doing the same ol' thing and it's tiresome.
They should fire Romita. Spider-man is one of the most agile heroes in the Marvel universe then why his fight looks so static and lame? Did they not learn anything from the Bruno Redondo and Tom Taylor run of Nightwing? Romita ruining my favorite character one issue at a time.
Spider-man is a HUGEEEE license, recent movies are easily bringing billions, they could have build a whole new fan b more
TIME TO DIE, SPIDER-MAN! The city watches as Spider-Man takes the worst beating of his life. What can Spider-man do to rally? There MUST be something!
So while we don't know the individual sales numbers for any series, (and we likely never will) we do know that Spider-Man almost always tops the charts. There are a few exceptions when something big hits and usurps the placement for a little while but Spider-Man is almost always at or near the top. THAT'S why things don't change. Because it already sells as much as they need it to without adjusting the status quo away from what they want, which is: poor Peter Parker, no long term relationships.
Lots of stuff goes on but nothing happens. Despite having Bane, Bats and Robin fighting against him, Hush gets away. So he’s in Mary Sue territory. Also Robin recruits Bane despite the fact that Bane killed Alfred to punish Robin. Not cool Damian. Bats also knocks out Bane with one punch. Since when could he do that.
We see Barb mad at Bats and attacks him with invisibilty tech, but i more
Batman’s battle with Hush takes a dark turn when Damian (Robin) and Bane team up!
The Hush 2 event is only 6 issues long. For Part 1. We're getting the second half later. Aren't you excited?!
"It is like a Russian nesting doll wrapped in an enigma," has to be one of the worst lines I have ever read in a Batman comic. All while Batman is being totally serious trying to solve a nothing mystery. This might be the most baffelingly stupid Batman I have ever seen. His entire interaction with Barbara reads like he has a concussion. And doing a deconstruction on how Batman is just as responsibmore
Batman’s battle with Hush takes a dark turn when Damian (Robin) and Bane team up!
I feel like I am not this often confused by comics.
But seriously. WTF is going on. Who is this for???
Loeb is a genius, I'll give you that. It takes real talent to make everything feel messy, rushed and too slow at the same time.
Batman’s battle with Hush takes a dark turn when Damian (Robin) and Bane team up!
I will only say this once. Gabe Hernandez is right.
Loeb is one of my all time favourite DC writers.
This is a disaster. The character work is full of contradictions. It's place in continuity is a mind f***. Jeph, what has happened to you?
Batman’s battle with Hush takes a dark turn when Damian (Robin) and Bane team up!

But it’s how Bane plans to break Batman that will have you,our dear readers, bending over backward.
There are a lot of service members that upset with parts of the story, and I think Chip is really pushing the envelope when it comes to trying to mirror the Steve Rogers story. However, it does start really well. Filled with action. I hate the design for the grey costume with he black star. It sucks. Hopefully we never have to see that again after next issue. I do like the conversation with Reed, more

A truly dark, experimental and unsettling Superman comic. I am here for it. The excellence of Ice Cream Man in a DC context. The potential for storytelling is almost ludicrous. I am so pleased this is a thing.
Also it really must be said -

Can't help but notice you always review books with black characters and creators very poorly. The same goes for any comic with LGBTQ+ representation. Its almost like you're upset at their very existence. Any reason for that?

Just wonderful.
I'm sorry but Wonder Woman beating this (which I don't believe was even nominated) and Absolute Batman for the new series Eisner is a nonsense.
Superman’s true enemy stands revealed. The notorious Ra’s al Ghul, lord ofLazarus Corp, murderer of millions, has plans for the Last Son of Krypton.Will Kal-El’s rage unleash the dark power of Superman: Son of the Demon?
now you understand why I say Absolute Superman is my favorite of all the Absolute series
I completely understand. It's absolutely magnificent, you were spot on my friend. Since the Brainiac issue it's constantly blowing my mind.
...Wow. This was absolutely stellar. Moore crafted this story perfectly, in my opinion. While the last issue was, technically, Moore's first on the title, I'm under the belief that it was purely just wrapping up everything that happened in #1-19. With that said, this was just an awesome "first issue" for Moore's run. Great suspenseful horror throughout and it just continued to get better and bettemore
In a standalone issue titled "The Anatomy Lesson," writer Alan Moore delivers a haunting origin story that reshapes the SWAMP THING mythology. Terrifying revelations are made about the nature of Swamp Thing, kicking off a journey of discovery that takes the character across the Earth--and beyond.
JMS still got it.

Marka Ragnos ruled the galaxy with an iron fist. He was the Dark Lord of the Sith -- the most powerful of the most powerful. But now he is dead. And two innocent hyperspace explorers, Gav and Jori Daragon, may follow suit if they get caught between the factions fighting to fill the Dark Lord void.
Gav and Jori Daragon knew they could be killed in their chosen line of work -- mapping out uncharted hyperspace flight paths could easily result in a deadly meeting with an unexpected meteorite shower or an unknown world. But it's neither comets nor planets that threaten them now. Rather, it's their success that may cost them their lives. They've s...
When Gav and Jori Daragon were first captured by the evil Sith, they feared for their lives. Now, Jori fears for her brother's spirit, as would-be Dark Lord Naga Sadow begins to initiate him into the ways of the dark side of the Force. Naga Sadow is playing a deadly game of chess, and the Daragon siblings are his pawns.
When Gav and Jori Daragon set off to map the uncharted regions of hyperspace, they knew they were risking their lives. But they thought it would be an unsuspected cluster of debris that would take them out of the game, not their successful discovery of a series of hyperspace "short cuts." The Sith Empire wants to know where these routes a...
Marka Ragnos ruled the galaxy with an iron fist. He was the Dark Lord of the Sith -- the most powerful of the most powerful. But now he is dead. And two innocent hyperspace explorers, Gav and Jori Daragon, may follow suit if they get caught between the warring factions hoping to fill the Dark Lord void.
Navigators and explorers are a special breed -- they blaze the paths others will follow. They must have strength, drive, and hope, and be more than a little fearless. But nowhere is it written that they must have luck. Gav and Jori Daragon make their living charting the routes of hyperspace and selling those routes to traders and haulers. When a st...
Five millennia before Luke Skywalker was born -- and 1,000 years before two young Jedi reawakened a long-dormant evil -- the dark power of The Sith held unquestioning rule over the galaxy. For those black-souled, corrupt Jedi, it was a golden age. For the rest of the galaxy, it was a nightmare.
Hex take a look at page #5 and page #10...I rest my case. Superman's eyes look like he's on drugs. It's not a style it's a lack of actual talent.
You know even the best artists make mistakes right? DaVinci didn't paint the Mona Lisa in a day. Todd McFarlane has some pretty big blunders. Neal Adams, one of the best to ever do it was incredibly critical of his own work. Even as much as I rail against JRJR, he has some standouts. I'm not losing my mind over a couple of eyes.
