This is the first new Star Trek comic I've read in a while. It's pretty good too. It strikes me as the start of a pretty thrilling story full of action. I don't yet know the full story behind the series this crossover is made of, but if I like it enough I may stick with them and pick up their older issues too.

IDW's recent Star Trek books have all been a pleasant surprise, and this one isn't an exception. Loved the mini-fights between all couples (romantically or otherwise), and yes, I'll admit it, I'm still having this mini crush on Lily, who, while occupying the same spot as a certain Wesley C., is very busy being absolutely everything that W.C. was not, AND in an integral & important part of the stor IDW's recent Star Trek books have all been a pleasant surprise, and this one isn't an exception.

Judging by the cover I had expected something *much* worse, but the first pages seemed quite readable, so frak it, I'll have one!

As I'd hoped, it was much better than expected, not as childish-over-the-top as I'd feared, just normal-over-the-top, and fitting rather well between the other parts of the "Day of Blood" mini-saga. Just a bit of a breather & in the only spot where it would h Judging by the cover I had expected something *much* worse, but the first pages seemed quite readable, so frak it, I'll have one!

Loki #4 is a prime example how well art can fit a story, and how a story should fit the art. Especially the art (after all, this *is* a visual medium) is "just right"... not a single panel is overdone or underdone, and all images keep a clear distance from the popular "itchy scratchy" style that always makes comics look like there's an urgent deadline lurking in the shadows, waiting to pounce upon Loki #4 is a prime example how well art can fit a story, and how a story should fit the art.

And *poof* ...my review disappeared. So I'll just do the rating and repeat: very pretty pictures, very old school, but the story was nigh incomprehensible.

Oh well, this way I've at least spared you the "Starlin Sock" story. :P

To be completely truthful, this book contains issues 3-7 of the 5(!)-piece 2020(!) miniseries, of which only the first 2 were published; #3 was never released. It's distinctly possible that #5-7 were going to be put together to make an extra-large #5. It's also a quite enjoyable read, and it's nice that all the work having been done, finally found its way to us, readers & us, Gwen-fans.

Maybe it just took 3 issues to get used to one another (including me), but this time I somehow got into the "feel" rather easily - although another trick might've been not to read this book as a Marvel comic, but mix it up with a few non-Marvel/non-DC books.

Anymoo, this time I think I got it, and I've actually become curious what will happen next!

I'm amazed, flabbergasted... how on Arakko do they manage to keep the quality level THIS high? Also, the build-up from 8 seconds to 8 hours, to 8 days really helps to build suspense like crazy, you just _can't_ stop thinking how things will unravel even further after 8 genie-infested _weeks_!

I'll admit, I was a bit afraid that the creators wouldn't be able keep the quality of the 1st issue as extremely high as it did, but _they_ did - the only difference is that this issue went for depth instead of surprise.

In short: recommended to the 2nd power! (And KEEP! YHE! QUALITY! COMING! PLZ! :D )

...OMG, this book is really SO darn good!... :D :D :D

TAAIA IS BACK! Yay! (I had hoped for this 'cuz she was totally cool in the last Defenders' iteration.) Loki never had a very well caught insaner (is that a word?) & Frightening (to the readers) look in his/hers/its/thines/thoues eyes, and even Tigra unexpectedly made me LOL. (Since we don't have spoiler tags, it's in her second panel.) Art & story went together seamlessly, although the pacing was TAAIA IS BACK! Yay!

A fitting place for Jae Lee's art - but didn't the writers know that muslims recognize Jesus as the penultimate prophet and therefore would never call him "false"? I hope this will be explained later on, because it makes the book sound a lot like anti-islam propaganda & not something I'd recommend.

Yes, I know it's supposed to be satire, but it just doesn't _read_ as such.

I enjoyed it. I think it didn't give us much but, I liked the realness of it, and the creepiness of that little thing.

So this is officially the golden age of James Tynion IV.
I love how personal he spins his tales of horror. And as more original work comes out, mixed in with his big two projects, his style gets sharper and better.

His characters are lost and misplaced, regardless if they're facing matters overwhelming beyond their control from external forces (like in Nice House on the Lake) or ag So this is officially the golden age of James Tynion IV.

Didn't really expect much... I'm not into horror, and there was that typical scratchy newfangled ho-hum artwork again, but hey, let's give it a chance!

At 2/3 I was hooked! It became really exciting & suspenseful (is that a word?), and I had to keep myself from turning the pages faster and faster (you probably know the feeling, even with digital versions).

Up to now, this was a pretty OK book. But the blood & gore & torture stuff in this issue was _really_ too much. In fact, it was _so_ much too much, I've completely lost any interested to see how it will play out. Bye, guys.

I don't know if this issue was meant to make us like Freyja, hate Odin or remind us that Angela from Spawn is a Thor character now, either way, not a lot happened.
