USM is part of the Marvel Heroes editorial group. They cover books like Avengers titles. So USM ain't coming out of any Spider-Man camp and that may be why it's good.
honestly one of the best superman stories of all time, if not the best superman story of all time. Beautiful art and a strong mature message on how /superman cant solve everything, and it is up to humanity to fix themselves.
Comics painter Alex Ross and writer Paul Dini, both among the most acclaimed talents in the field, join forces to create an unusual look at the world's greatest super-hero and his attempt to improve the world.
I really didnt care or knew much about Wesley Dodds. but although the art wasnt that good, the story was interesting and I thought this series was interesting. I would definitely reccomend this series.
The pieces have all fallen into place, and Wesley knows exactly who is behind the theft of his journal. But is the Sandman too late, and will his dark dream descend over the entire world?!
As Sam fights to save his daughter from a horrifying fate, his sister Halloween confronts their father about the devilish pact he made all those years ago... This is the issue that changes everything.

I miss Phillip K Johnson's action Comics run. His run revived Superman comics after Bendis run, and all in all I can say that I enjoyed it. I enjoyed Warworld Saga on how he made Superman into a legendary mythical gladiator. I would reccomend people check out Phillip K Johnson's Action Comics run
Norah Stone's true form has been revealed, her gateway between worlds is opened, and the invasion of Earth has begun! As the Multiverse's two most powerful families clash above Metropolis, which legacy will Otho-Ra choose? Will the followers of Blue Earth defend their treacherous leader, or their own home? It has all led to this! Three years of Act...
it's strange on how Jason Aaron dropped the ball on Avengers, but he completely kills it with Action Comics. Jason Aaron used to be my favorite, and I hope at the end of his run it will be great.
The startling finale of I, Bizarro sees the Man of Steel making his most shocking team-up ever as part of the mind-blowing final battle against the ultimate Bizarro.
Not really a comic book. but Rest In Peace Akira Toriyama. Without you, manga or anime wouldn't be popular in America.
honestly a super fun series that I enjoyed. Joshua Williamson has always been one of my favorite writers, and I like his voice in this book. This is honestly better than Birthright, and that was a high bar. Overall, I would highly reccomend reading this series if you guys have the time
"I am impossibly intrigued by the work that JOSHUA WILLIAMSON, ANDREI BRESSAN, and company are crafting here."-ComicBook.com
Sam desperately searches for his missing daughter, who's been taken by the mascots as the park's next victim. But Halloween has learned the truth of her father's bargain with the Devil, and the power she now wields with i...
Basically, read this series over Zeb Wells Amazing Spider-Man. Peter Parker is actually likable, and its nice having the creator of Spectacular spider-man write this series. If you're a spidey fan, I highly reccomend this series as well as Dan Slott's Superior Spider-Man and Hickman's Ultimate Spider-man.
The stars of two of Marvel's biggest series come together in their first ongoing series ever! That's right, Peter Parker and Miles Morales are going to team up on the regular, comparing notes and using said notes to take on some of their most dangerous bad guys. This duo is better than dynamic, amazing, sensational, superior...they're SPECTACULAR! ...
while I dont think Last Ronin should have a sequel given how it perfectly ended the original Turtles story, and no one can replace Michaelangelo, Donatello, Raphael and Leonardo. I still liked the story and it took a lot of re-reading to fully enjoy it. It didnt have a strong start like the previous series. But its still a good start, and I am hoping I will like the new turtles.
More than a decade after the Last Ronin defeated the Foot Clan, New York City finds itself in a state of steady decline. Now, the disparate gangs vie for economic and political control and that the chaos is taking its toll. It's clear to Casey Marie that if something isn't done soon, the city she knows and loves will be lost forever. So, whether th...
The original Last Ronin run captivated readers w/ its dark & gritty story of Michelangelo, the last remaining Turtle, fought for revenge in a dystopian future while dealing w/ some serious PTSD over his lost brothers. Now, the long-awaited sequel picks up 15 years later, introducing a new generation of heroes & showing us just how far NYC has fallen.

kind of a weak issue and ending to Mark Waid's run. I hope the next writer will keep this series strong and have a good voice for Billy Batson.
The Captain has thwarted a cadre of space dinosaurs, talked the gods into being reasonable for five little minutes, and managed to look A-OK doing it. So what's left? WELL WE CREEP. YEEEAAAHHH, WE KEEP IT ON THE DOWN-LOW. It's the fight of the century: THE CAPTAIN VS. THE CREEPER!
Chip zdarsky's batman run has honestly been a rollercoaster. We had a great Failsafe arc, a good Multiversal arc, then a bad Shadow War event, then a great Mindbomb arc, but then a boring Joker Year one arc.
Is this issue good? Yes. It's good, it's a return to form, we see Bruce Wayne grappling with the idea that he has gone too far in realizing he's taking Batman too seriously. But I a more
A THRILLING NEW ARC IS HERE... DARK PRISONS BEGINS! Following The Joker: Year One's stunning reveals, Batman must engineer an escape from Zur's prison...but what dark secret does Zur now hold that's a game changer for the Dark Knight and the entire DC Universe?!
This was Jason Aaron back in his prime, and honestly reading this run after watching Dr Strange 2 is kind of a fresh air. This was Dr strange trying to deal with the fact that magic is slowly dying, and its super wacky and crazy. The art can be iffy, but I liked how Jason Aaron tried swinging for the fences, and honestly I would. definitely reccomend this run to people. It's a bit to take in, so jmore

The Black Castle knows everything, and death is the only solution. Ostracized and alone, it's the end of the road for Newburn. Plus: Things are getting critical in Loaded Dice by Chase and Lelay. Roll a stealth check!
It says a lot about the failure of an event when the only time the team talks to one another is at the very end to realize who all was even on the team. Great job Lowe. My expectations for anything during the rest of this run are completely shot at this point. Any praise I had to give toward the Tombstone arcs has fallen completely flat because up to this point it has all led to absolutely nothingmore
GANG WAR CONCLUSION!
Madame Masque makes the power move she's been waiting to make her entire life. This is not going to go the way you think it will!

The dust finally settles on the Gang War arc. Wells' story wraps up the conflict between Madame Masque, Tombstone and Spider-Man, leaving a trail of destruction & a new normal for NYC's gangs.
While the action is well-paced, I found the conclusion underwhelming. Spider-Man has felt sidelined throughout the majority of Gang War & the final twist hinged more on Tombstone than anyone else. more

This is a poor showing no matter how you look at it. It's readable and mostly harmless in that it's not doing anything offensive, but the dialogue is weirdly flat and clunky while the event itself is underwhelming and somewhat nonsensical. Was this supposed to be in some way climactic? A more restrained conclusion would've been fine if there had been some emotional stakes or something, but this domore

really good issue of the retelling Thor's origin. I liked it
THE TRIALS OF UTGARD!
Young Thor faced the tricks of the Utgard-Loki, with all that lived at stake - in a tale twice-told and now told again. Yet the teller was the Skald of Realms, in their aspect as Thor's enemy. And thus, the tale could twist upon itself - and if Thor faltered, it could make a new end. This is the story of the IMMORTAL THOR...
Basically nothing came out of this entire event except, minor spoiler, Tombstone is back on top.
JRJR’s art quality was all over the place in this issue. Some panels were ok and others were just, bad/low effort. Jackpot (aka the superhero we never needed or wanted because MJ is great as herself and doesn’t need powers) made a brief cheesy appearance. If you’re tired of this medio more

to be honest, as a whole I got to say this event was bland, mediocre, and forgettable. I dont know what it is, but from what I'm reading, it feels like its devoid of passion and doesnt have that much effort at all.
Spidey literally gets his butt kicked multiple times in this event, then he talks about his feelings to Madame Masque, then wins the day by shooting out webs into her gauntle more

Only thing I disagree with is calling JRJRs art “clean.” I see what you mean in some panels but a lot of it is just sloppy to me.
Two-for-two on great issues. This didn't quite pack the same punch as Issue 1, but I didn't expect it to and it didn't even necessarily need to. I thought this was a super fun first adventure, of sorts, for Peter in this universe. I think it was filled to the brim with great writing and character interactions, specifically. Plus, Checchetto kills it again here to the surprise of absolutely nobody.
