It was a great idea to flip Marshall place in the friendship, now being the one that needs help and support. The new villain Accel looks cool, would have liked to see his power set used to something specific tho. This Rogues arc is very exciting, and that ending oh man, Radiant Black goes to Radiant Dark ahah

I really enjoyed how they managed to link Thor's continuity, it worked for me, it's not perfect as the other big arcs, but I am still interested in Cates' vision for Thor. Mjonir's speech is brutal!

Strong issue! Psychologically I think it was very cool, the characters are where I imagine they would be in a situation like this. I liked the future set ups, I liked the continuation of Mjolnir's rampage, and I am quite intrigued. I'm a bit mixed on the visual design of the God of Hammers. Lightning is cool, lightning creatures are not as much.

Great set-up for this arc. I found it very on point, the Odin-Thor relationship was very well done, the mistery around everything that is happening in the Realms is really brutal. Nic Klein is still on his peak performance and Cates is back on main plot, and all that is why I am here!

It was a nice story arc. The premise was simple, it was mad, it was fun. It delivered on that front. Story development wise it landed a bit short, I needed more. But there was some interested beats and the execution of the major idea worked for me. I'll be here for the Hulk vs Thor match. After that, I think not.

We're midway in the story, and frankly the mistery is holding pretty well, but I was hoping for a Green Man reveal of some sort. The art continues to be spotless. The character development on Constantine was nicely done, and some beats on some of others were a nice touch.

This was just perfect. The Robin story I never knew I wanted. Lemire just washed me away with Teen Titans first adventure, and then just smashed my brain with Batman's overpowering lack of regard for child innocence. It's just brutal but realistic in a way. Everyone is growing and learning in their own way. Loved it.
