Ultimate Goblin's Profile

Well… it was a bit funny, but it’s weird how it went practically nowhere… So that’s the last appearance of the Mega Morph universe... Looks like the initial plans were thwarted by awful sales. I'd like to read a real sequel, though...

Okay, the whole excuse for bringing in the Thing and not the other Mega Morph heroes is the fact that they needed to sell these three new action figures…

Not a bad idea for a new short story. It really is much better, than I expected.

Okay, I expected it all to be worse.

Lol! Even the army didn’t expect to see something like this! Me neither.

Otto is a gigachad!

Honestly, it’s hard to rate a small part of a story that came with 6 different action figures… Obviously it’s not a masterpiece, but okay, especially as a giveaway… I think the idea would work well in some anime.

Ugh... It's bittersweet. I feel like the conclusion pretty much ruined the story. It was a nice read, I really love Frank here and the artwork was insanely spot on. But the writer's decisions about the story are very weird. Like, it could be 10/10 Daredevil's last stand if Bullseye did something personal to Matt and made him come and fight to the death and all. But Bullseye's plan was literally to just put on a show. Why did he need this girl? He barely explained. And yeah, in the end we see that she made the right choice and all, but could this really possibly lead to a new era of superheroes? I doubt it. Yeah, the people maybe enjoyed the show, but not being blown up, definitely not that.

Also it's insanely dumb that DD with powers could barely stand on his feet, while the Punisher who never had any powers in the first place was going berserk without any feet at all... He probably was even older than DD, what the hell... It's cool and all, I'm a fan and it was insanely emotional, but it's barely believable. DD in DD story would be dead if not for the Punisher. Yeah, he was poisoned, but he still has freaking superpowers and he was barely fighting even before the poison.

Also the world set in this book is barely explained... How exactly Fisk's dead resulted in this? What wars they keep talking about? What happened to this world exactly? Not a single answer is given...

Yeah, the story feels like something emotional and important, but mostly thanks to McNiven. I wish he could draw more comics for Marvel, this is truly something. But storywise there's not that much and I feel like some things aren't as elaborated as they should have been.

Even if I want to rate it higher, because it really was epic and spectacular, I feel like an insane potential is wasted. It defintiely deserves to be read and most likely you'll enjoy it like everyone else. But if you stop for a moment to think and ask questions - everything'll fall like a card house. It's like the author just expects you to like it no matter how much effort was put into it. I'm not blind and I won't be blinded by the facade. But maybe I'm just dumb and it's deeper than it looks like. Who knows.

UPD: I quickly moved through the previous issues again and now I see that Bullseye probably hoped that the gas for that New Warroirs program will make new superheroes and all. But again, it was used in issue one and only DD got the powers he had back then. Now I understand that the girl didn't have any powers before and they were caused by this gas. Ugh, if only she had more screentime and at least somehow reacted to her powers like it was something new for her... He was too confident I had a feeling it wasn't connected to the gas. Now rewinding it all in mind I can see the connection, but I think it's the writer's fault, not mine.

I mean, could the writer show at least a couple of more people demonstrating some powers in the last issue? Of course not. Who needs this... It's better to just mention that casually like it's nothing. I've read those words about feet above the ground and etc like it was a metaphorical way of saying that her light changed them inside and they became better people. Of course it's my problem I can't read... But it still doesn't fix all the other problems.

This rant is here only because it's not 10/10 for me.more

The art mostly carries it. It's beatiful and the action is super dynamic. The story is too simple, though. It doesn't really offer that much new for this old concept used hundreds of times... It's not bad, it's great, actually, but I wish there was something more to it. I hope the final issue will be exactly this "something more". But even if it'll be at least on this same level, it'll already be enough.more

I guess I am alone here, but the art in this book reminds me of the newer art Frank Miller is putting out. The concept story wise is interesting, but the art is so bad that I can't get past it

This is very similar to Spider-Man Reign, except it has better writing. Charles Soule was one of my favorite Daredevil writers, and it's nice to see him back on Daredevil

A beautiful and highly entertaining read, even if this type of story has been done plenty of times before.

So it's like Daredevil: Reign. Okay, why not. So far off to a great start. I would never recognize McNiven here, his style definitely changed over time, but I love it. Back then he was too polished and even though it was great for that time, I really like how it's done here. Super atmospheric, dynamic and fits the narrative.

WTF is this ending... Man, this felt like a very important series. Like, Martha died and all... But it's written very poorly and the CGI art doesn't make it any better... I love the Lizard's model, by the way...
