Hex's Profile

I liked it, but Eddie felt much more aggressive here, than he did before. I didn't really get why. Art was good

Batman read like what I hate most. Boring low rent Tom King. We just pick up new storylines because we feel like focusing on those at this time. Gone is the Minotaur. The joker. The ninjas. All gone. Instead we get Alan Scott who not long ago was trolling for ass at docks. And coffee chats with Batman. I almost fell asleep 3 times reading this book.
Poison ivy is mayor ? She’s kill ed as many as savage who is also an elected official. This issue was a huge miss after last issue which was also flat. But at least that one kept my attention. Just awful stuff. Get this title back on track and enough side quests. Avoid this comic. more

A 10 to counter Masked Marvel's inevitable review bombing.

Maybe I’m somewhat influenced by all the negativity surrounding Midnight Spider-Man, but honestly, I didn’t like it at all.

Part of the reason why I loved Ultimate X-Men by Momoko so much was because of the blend of cute art with eerie atmosphere. This book takes it further and I love it.
The premise is interesting enough but the art is what sold me on this book.
My only complain is that "POV" in the office with Felicia. I get what they were trying to do but it was just weird to say the least.

To start, going against most of the grain, I liked the art. I was expecting something grittier but this still fits the book. While definitely manga-esque and I know most comic book fans think comic art is vastly superior to manga for some reason, it managed to be both cartoony and colorful and disgusting and visceral. The plot is very engaging especially considering the current climate. Peter has an online persona utilizing some takedown journalism against corrupt mega-corporations, big pharma, individuals like Oscorp and we quickly learn that Oscorp is even worse than Peter knows. I'm definitely excited for more.more

A little heavy on the exposition even for the time but the whole premise and introduction of Mysterio is great. Definitely some of the best interiors from Ditko. He really went all out on the backgrounds and dynamic poses for the fights. Really sold the stunt-man vs Spider-Man angle.

I'll get this out of the way. Mysterio is a really cool, exciting villain. But when you explain all his tricks, it kind of lessens the appeal for me.

Throughout so much of this issue, I kept thinking about the Far From Home movie. It had to be because of how much of the plot was lifted from these early Mysterio appearances. I don't have that same sort of problem with Vulture, Green Gobl in, Doc Ock, Sandman, Electro or the Lizard. It could also be because it's the most recent Spider-Man movie, and therefore it's the freshest in my mind. I don't know, but there's a ton of parallels. And the idea that Mysterio is using drones actually causes much less ruination in my opinion than spring-loaded boots and nylon firing guns. I don't want this review to just be a refutation on all the people pretending Mysterio is so much cooler when he uses ridiculous contraptions and 1960s special effects to achieve his stunts. I have a feeling these people have never read this issue right here, and that's fine as long as they don't pretend to know.

But let's not focus on that, let's focus on how ridiculously Mysterio gets beaten. Not the fight itself, but rather Spider-Man recording his evil monologue where he explains everything. That was so lame, but also the only quick way to clear Spider-Man's name...

The money troubles briefly return here but they're probably done away with for now! But they'll be back, they always come back.

JJJ was amazing as always. He's the best.

Quote of the issue: "A Miniature Recorder!! Bah!" more

I wasn't sure how I would like it because art like this is usually a turn off for me. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I actually liked the art. The book does what any good alternate universe story should do, feels different enough to make it worth reading while also retaining just enough of the core elements to make fans happy. Will definitely be continuing.

I was very hesitant with this. After disappointments of ASM #1000 and USM as a whole, I didn't really have any interest in this. I was afraid this would be just an edgy retelling of AF #15.

Thankfully, I was very wrong. This is really good and I'm hooked. It feels modern and unique. This is something very different, but also familiar and it doesn't lose the humanity of Peter Parker and his world. We get that and I really like that.

Art just works for me. It just feels fitting. PKJ has said he has ideas for this until #50 and if we get stuff like this monthly, sign me up. I'm locked in.more

Continues to be the best super hero comic there is. There are very few comics I get genuinely excited to read. This is one of them.
I can't give a higher compliment than that.

Keeping peoples attention span in 2026 is quite an achievement.

I love the direction with Barbara. The showdown with Crane was superb.
