Why the hell is this site still including reviews by Gabe Hernandez?
The guy literally gives EVERY single comic a low score. He single handidly is bringing down the averages of several great series on this site. His reviews read like rage bait in order to drive up hits on his page.
The guy is a hack, and this site loses credibility by including his reviews.

THE ULTIMATE SANDMAN ATTACKS!
•  As the dust settles from the events of recent issues, Peter, MJ and the kids take a family vacation - but nowhere is safe for Ultimate Spider-Man!
Meet Bruce Wayne, Gotham's favorite delinquent son, shaped by a city in turmoil. Set against the backdrop of actual historical events, Gotham City comes alive, filled with the iconic characters who've loved and hated Batman over the years like you've never seen them before. Mark Russell and Mike Allred return to give audiences a look at Batman as a...
Wow. Sometimes feeling like you’ve gone back in time when reading a comic is good. While some are hoping that Jim Lee and Jeph Loeb’s return to the pages of Batman for a sequel to their seminal “Hush” storyline will be a return to great comics of 20 years ago, it actually does more than that. This comic manages to grab the feel of Batman comics from even further back to the Bronze Age. more
THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED SEQUEL TO THE SMASH-HIT STORYLINE! Jeph Loeb! Jim Lee! An all-new epic saga begins here. Hush returns!
@motorik I enjoyed it. It seems to be “not different enough” for some. I was drawn in by the classic feel.
Let's start this out by saying that the standards are pretty high going into Hush2. If that's fair or not, IDGF, it is what it is, and I can't help it. HUSH is probably one of the best Batman stories that has been told. The story is just starting, so I can't really fault much, about that. I had a hard time following the panels in different parts of this book. This is why I rated it an 8. The amore

Like most artists past their prime, Jim Lee recycles his older dynamic poses and iconic set pieces to mixed results. I won't say it looks bad but it's definitely derivative of his own earlier work and it stands out. Loeb's writing is much the same. This is definitely post Loeb peak. He's harder, his stories darker in tone, vocabulary and scope. He went through trauma. It makes sense. What doesn't more

Plot
Peter, MJ, Richard Parker, and May are on "vacation" in a trailer in the middle of a desert, aiming to stay as far away from attack as possible after Kraven's attack and Harry's death.
This group of trailers features many people escaping the system, conspiracy theorists, and people living in paranoia.
Richard and Peter have a conversation about being Spider-Man, and more

I am a huge Jeph Loeb fan. This underwhelmed. I re-read the original Hush to prep for this. It's a masterclass in comic book writing. Although, truth be told, it takes a bit for everything to click.
As such, I have faith this will increase in quality. I'm not going to write it off in 1 volume like an inflammatory child with an agenda against the writer.

This eagerly-anticipated sequel grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let go in this first chapter. I did find that Batman got taken out a little too easily at the start, mainly because the plot required this to happen. Also, Talia makes a very random appearance and then disappears, again because the plot required someone to help the Caped Crusader. The art is great, but not Jim Lee’s best commore

This happens to be my 4000th review, and what better way to celebrate this than with Batman and Superman, who happen to be my top 2 favorite superheroes of all time. The art is solid, the pacing and action is great and the story was interesting. Mark Waid finally found his groove, and he's going to be the architect or the big figures based on impact of 2020 DC Comics. It's pretty clear that he hasmore

The best Lemire book in years. This is the most I've ever cared about Wally West. I need to know what went down with him and a certain character!
The Absolute line is the best thing going in modern comics.
Unless you're Gabe Hernandez, of course.
JEFF LEMIRE AND NICK ROBLES SPEED INTO THE ABSOLUTE UNIVERSE! Without the mentor...without the family...without the Speed Force, what's left is the Absolute Scarlet Speedster!
@mego-joe When Lemire is on point, he's fantastic. His more recent works have not hit high. Gideon Falls and Ascender/Descender were absolutely amazing. I do agree, his JLA is patchy but I'm enjoying it. We may disagree here but it seems we are all passionate and avid readers. We're keeping it alive.
His New 52 Animal Man was great, I loved his Frankenstein Agent of SHADE and The Terrifics. In enjoyed the first volume of Black Hammer, but that’s almost satire. It’s in a weird space.
Mark Waid continues to kill it. This is arguably the best DC book alongside Absolute Batman.
Such a great time to be a Batman fan.
A TRAP IS SET... Robin is caught in the General's clutches, and it's up to Batman to rescue his intrepid young protege. The Dark Knight knows he's running headlong into a trap, but is the General really prepared for Batman like he thinks?
I'm still intrigued by this rather long storyline, but in this issue it seems to lose some steam. Even Janin's usually stellar artwork is slacking a bit.

As a much older fan off The Flash , I was seriously disappointed in this opening chapter. I understand the need at times to reinvent the wheel all over again but this was painful to read. The script was great but all the back and forward was to me so unnecessary and made the reading experience a whole lot disjointed. Hopefully as the story unfolds it will make it more enjoyable but to me there is more

Barry was my first Flash. Issue 306 to be exact (great issue). I read Barry backwards from there. Before the death of Iris, Barry met the stereotype of the silver age hero that had no hero’s journey. A hero right out of the box. Wally had a hero’s journey, which is why for me he is the better character. We are late stage in that journey in the main continuity (the whole main dcu feels late stage frankly), so I am looking forward to seeing where this goes.
I respect your opinion, but for me, Wally has always been my Flash (and for a lot of people too). I’ve always found Barry pretty boring (in fact, even in the CW show, they just gave Wally’s personality to Barry Allen). Plus, since this is a reinvention, it makes sense to go with the younger, more reactive Flash who still has to find his way. (I agree with you regarding the back and forward.)
This issue is not action-packed, but I like the mystery and slow-building intrigue. The art works, and I like Jeff Lemire's voice for Wally West. This was solid. Not as action-packed or hyped as Absolute Batman/Superman or well-written character like Absolute Wonder Woman. But who cares? As judging on its own merits it is a very solid book. I am very interested to see how Jeff Lemire takes Wally Wmore

No way! I am stunned! Hope you are well my friend. Thank you for taking the time to tell me! Hell has frozen over.
This should be everything I dislike about Snyder writing Batman, but this bombastic comic just keeps entertaining me big time.

just ignore them! There are plenty of sites and reviewers that never go below an 8 (which has more to do with keeping review copies than being honest), so go and read those. I gave up doing written reviews because of stuff like this - i prefer reviewing comics on podcasts with multiple people to get more of a varied discussion (kind of like what you said earlier). BTW, I do find positive reviews are rarely called out for lack of substance just because they are positive. (2/2)
I'm new here and have no problem with a neg review as long as it's explained. The same should be true in reverse. I see a lot of 10 reviews without a single word to explain why. I'm not going to but I really would want to blindly rate 1's just to counter them.
