David Aja is an all-time great artist but doesn't do a lot of work.
This was really good. Loved the art throughout, although I'm having to really try hard to convince my brain I'm not reading a previously unreleased prequel to Fraction and Aja's Hawkeye, cause the way Aja draws Danny is almost exactly like how he drew Clint, bandages and all. But yeah, I really enjoyed this. That female Iron Fist at the beginning was badass, I would love to see more of her. I'm in more
What has the Rand Corporation done to awaken the wrath of Hydra? Iron Fist kicks his way toward the truth as another piece of the puzzle comes crashing into his life?a living legend long- thought dead! Don't miss the second action-packed issue of Marvel's hottest new kung fu series!
Finally getting to this! Sorta confusing first issue, a lot going on, but the art was great and it was well-written. Looking forward to seeing how the plot unfolds and becomes clear.
The Last Iron Fist Story - Part 1
Many years ago, in the mystical city of Kun? Lun, young Danny Rand stared at a suit behind glass -- the garb of ?the Immortal Iron Fist- -- and knew that he was destined to wear it. But where did this costume come from? Why did it wait for Danny all those years like a shadow of his future?
The answer ...
10, obviously.
BJ Shea is a moron.
Batman and Catwoman face down Bane in a final battle! But once the dustsettles, what will it all mean for the future of Batman?
When even Gabe Hernandez actually gives a positive review, you know the issue is a banger
Snyder is kind of a guy whose work when being extreme, or in this case Absolute, can be an absolute banger, or a shitshow.
Thankfully, this is absolute banger. What a comic and what a story.

Peter was willing to sell his soul to the devil to save a dying Aunt May. But now he won’t even help her with FEAST because she’s gonna die anyways? This issue wasn’t great. The little that did happen was pretty dumb.
THE 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN CONTINUES!
• Spider-Man has been broken, and someone needs to pick up the pieces. Maybe an old flame?
• Now that the CHAMPION has fallen, can the universe withstand what comes next?
• Are there any who can stand in the way of an inevitable god?

Downgrade and just lacking from writing/editing/art. People are trying I can see that but this fails.

Yeah this was also really good. Hit me right in the existentialism.
THE 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN CONTINUES!
• While Spider-Man is facing the Scion who wields the power of Death, the new EMBODIMENT of death, PHIL COULSON, gets to know his powers better.
• Phil has always been there to help heroes in every way he can, but can he help Spider-Man to save our universe?

It's filler. It's well done, but still filler. Enjoyable enough (and better than most Joe Kelly issues lol)

This was actually fantastic. I don't know, maybe just having taken such a long break and jumping back a little blind made me forget how much I despised what was happening but this worked. There was weight here. Impact. For Peter, Strange, Cyra and Coulson. You could see it. That's what matters. Great job by Joe Kelly and amazing job by Cafu to make this emotional, and wonderful to look at.
THE 8 DEATHS OF SPIDER-MAN CONTINUES! Spider-Man has faced four Scions and is running out of extra lives. This issue's scion, CYRA, represents the very power of Death Itself and makes Spider-Man watch everything he loves die. Can Spider-Man possibly withstand this punishment?
Rated T
Its hard not to appreciate this issue on a conceptual level at the very least.
It ends unresolved so we'll have to see the resolution, but as setup it is pretty solid. Having Spiderman face off against nihilism itself is an interesting premise, and the issue makes a case for it.
If done right this can be a really inspiring spidey moment. I hope they stick the landing.

Yeah that was pretty good. Kelly finally wrote a good issue of ASM in a loong time.
Cafu's art was the highlight tho.

Woke garbage The writer/Artist has a strange way of showing he loves his country.I guess unlimited illegals is a good thing for every community.The Batman America knows,loves his country and fights for justice.He doesn't choke ICE officers.I dispise this annual and I am glad I skipped it.To all the sheep out there.Good luck bitches.
Some of the biggest names in comics take a turn in the Absolute Universe! Daniel Warren Johnson and James Harren tell tales from Absolute Batman’s early days! How did Bruce acquire his batmobile? And what was it like for Black Mask’s party animals when Batman first hit the scene?
Aside from this being a Bruce Wayne/Batman from a different universe (meaning any preconceived notions about the character from outside of Earth-Alpha would be automatically invalid), the mainline (Earth-0) Batman is most definitely "woke" (even though that term is been horrendously misused in recent years) and would strongly be against not just MAGA Republicans and Conservatives, but also what's been currently happening with I.C.E. in the United States.

JEFF LEMIRE AND NICK ROBLES SPEED INTO THE ABSOLUTE UNIVERSE! Without the mentor...without the family...without the Speed Force, what's left is the Absolute Scarlet Speedster!
I want to give this a higher score but the premise doesn't live up to the execution. The art is phenomenal, the story is interesting but not very gripping. I would have benefitted from either more pages or turn it into a mini series. It wasn't much of a gauntlet but Batman's interactions with Robin are really well done.
None of the stories here are particularly great. My favorite was No Spider Blues because I fully ship Deadpool and Peter. Something I noticed: In Rob Liefeld's story, there are barely any backgrounds. It's actually insane. We barely know at any point where any of the characters are in space. It will forever shock me that people like this guy's art.
Seven kills in seven days! Welcome to a week in the life of Wade Wilson, the best mercenary Marvel's ever had (just ask him)! From facing off with rival killers to top secret assassinations, DEADPOOL has a lot of work to do in this blood-soaked oversized issue full of fan-favorite creators past and future!
Rated T+
When I was reading DP Bad Blood #4, this bugged me so much I actually counted: 15 out of 29 pages had no backgrounds whatsoever.
It's every book he does art on. It's so far below the standard of quality that we should expect from the Big Two, and it's not a matter of style. He only gets work because of his name, and that's even perplexing in itself because his name wasn't good for long in the 90s.
SPIDEY & HIS COSMIC FRIENDS! Who is this space-faring Spider-Man, and who is his crew?! You may recognize Rocket Raccoon and may have heard of Symbie. The other companions will have a huge impact on Spider-Man and may hold a key to some mysteries that have been brewing!
This comic feels like everything one shouldn't be when making a story with set ending in mind.
And that is: it tells, it doesn't show.
I can always praise art here. I do love it. But the timeskip we got, was way too major. What is left is us being told multiple things without us actually seeing them. We are given implication that they happened and that's it.

It's been a looong time since I've read Long Halloween, so I may not have picked up on everything here, but what we got was pretty good, I guess. Nothing mindblowing. Tim Sale's art is definitely not on the level it once was, but they still manage to make some cool images across the one-shot.

Even better than its antecessor, "Dark Victory" ends the first part of Bruce Wayne journey as Batman, bringing closure to a lot of the characters first introduced in "Year One". The plot-twist is really good, the whole storyline and mistery around the Hang Man is well build. And also - Dick Grayson! Yes.

I'll say the same thing i've said when i finished the Long Halloween: M.A.S.T.E.R.P.I.E.C.E.!
This is a PERFECT follow up, although it has the same story structure of The Long Haloween(actually is the only story structure that Loeb knows how to use lol) the inclusion of Robin here is gives this a very distinctive feeling from the last series. The mystery is still engagin and intriguing, more

The epic conclusion to Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale's Batman masterpiece! What connection does the Hang Man have to Harvey Dent, and can the murders be stopped before the most horrifying killing of them all takes place? This time Batman is no longer alone in his quest for justice as a young, inexperienced Robin joins him and the dynamic duo is born!
