This was much better than the first issue.

I really enjoyed this. The art and story were on point. I like the family dynamic a lot. A story that's, ostensibly about getting a Christmas tree, was somehow action packed, funny, and touching.

Solid start. Excellent Art.

This was a promising beginning. The art was a stand out, Cagle did a fantastic job. The story is promising. I found the characterization of Orion as someone who "Never disobeys Highfather" was odd. Looking forward to seeing what happens next.

So the good news is Venom Was is over...
This issue doesn't suck, but it isn't very good.
The art is fine. I don't care for the new look, but the storytelling is competent and the characters that aren't Venom look consistently good. The action is well done, what there is of it

Who is Venom? I don't care, and I should. Though the mystery is competently set up, the "suspects"aren't very compelling, and the idea that Dylan Brock is going to get to the bottom of things is ridiculous on its face. He's $@#&ing thirteen years old. Add to that, Ewing has never been interested in writing Dylan, and has never nailed his voice the way Ram V or Torrun Gronbekk did. If you told me Robbie was investigating, I could buy into that more.

On the record, it's probably Rick Jones, based on some of the courtroom fight, and the fact that he's already been everyone else's sidekick.
They seem to have deaged him some for this series. more

this was not a bad event. But it was confusing and I wished it could have been better. I wished Meridius was more threatening. I wish Dylan Brock was more interesting. King in Black may not be better conceptually, but at least it was interesting and easier to understand.

Overall, this was jut a let down for me. Which is a shame, because I admire Al Ewing for being bold and introducing cosmic concepts, but with Ram V leaving and it shoe-horning in Venom zombies, it just felt lackluster. more

Well, this was just awful.
This whole series was a major disappointment for me. The art was fine, but the story was appalling - from the pro wrestling set up, to the contrived confrontation between Dylan and Eddie, to playing hot-potato with the symbiotes, to the underwhelming villain. This was a mess from start to finish, and it's on brand for Al Ewing, of late.

I'm glad this is over. I was hoping Ewing would move on from Venom, but, alas. The best parts of this latest run were by Ram V and Torrun Gronbekk. more

This may have been the weakest offering from Ghost Machine, but it's still pretty good.
The art is above average - Snejbjerg is a seasoned pro, and, though his art is markedly different from the other GM artists, he is an excellent storyteller. Tomasi is a very good writer, and his character work and dialogue in this issue is fine.

This issue was fine. I would have preferred not to have all the exposition in the beginning, and to find out what's happening along with the characters as discover their true natures. more

This could have been much better. Using the old trope of the pwerson dying, but being brought back to accomplish the goal doesn't really work here. You're dealing with a god who deals in souls. Simply dying and being rescuciated doesn't fit with the supernatual lore of Moon Knight. The artwork continues to be good, but I found the story lacking.

A mediocre finale to a series that shouldn't have existed in the first place.
While I did enjoy VoMK 9, it was predictable, and a bit of a let down. The art was actually quite good. The splash page of the fight between Moon Knight and the Shroud remind me of the Grendel / Argent fight from Matt Wagner's Devil by the Deed. The story looked promising, Moon Knight is ordered by the newly freed Konshu to kill the man who usurped his mantle. It was fairly clear he wasn't going to do it. The bait and switch was telegraphed, and it just wasn't satisfying. I have a hard time conceiving that the god would take the betrayal lying down. If there aren't repercussions down the road, I'll be even more disappointed.

Climbing on my soap box for a minute, Why did this series need to exist? It had the same creative team and the previous series. The very first storyline was interrupted by the Shroud exploding at the start of Blood Hunt. The Shroud as Moon Knight went nowhere . The did nothing with it. Marc was dead for about a week, in universe, then he was brought back. The series didn't need a new run, especially one as short as this. They should have just continued the previous series. I am going to read the new Fist of Konshu book, but that shouldn't exist either. The constant rebooting is annoying. more

I want to like this book a lot more than I do. The story and plot are interesting, the writing is solid, but the art is so messy and hard to follow it detracts from my enjoyment significantly. If they could get a cleaner, better artist it would help immensely.

I haven't been this excited about a Batman comic since Norm Breyfoggle was a regular penciler on Detetcive. This comic was really good - had a Dark Knight vibe that cannot be coincidental. The visual storytelling was top notch. I'm not familiar with Nick Dragotta, but this was impressive. The colors were a bit dull, but overall the art was just fine. The story was also fine. Well paced, good world building, decent dialogue, characterization was fine. I genuinely hope they do something different and new. Change everything, don't just rehash the greatest hits. The one disappointment was the introduction of the "Joker" - henceforth to be known as "The Joker Who Doesn't Laugh". Too soon. You can't drop The Joker in the first issue. You gotta earn The Joker.
Curious to see where this goes. more

I was pleasantly surprised by this comic.
Yes, it's clearly derivative of the David/Stroman and Milligan.Allred runs.
Yes, Mark Brooks is a hack who has a distorted sense of his ability to write political satire.
Except...This comic is pretty good.

The story was well paced. The characters were well written. Any satirical aspects were played straight, instead of the usual wink-wink, nudge-nudge. The plot twist caught me by surprise. No complaints.

The art was some of the best I've see from Bob Quinn. My first exposure to his work was on Way of X (which I enjoyed), and he seems to have improved since then. He inks his own pencil on this issue, so it's all him. Colorist Jesus Aburtov put in some good work as well.

As it stands, X-Factor joins X-Force as being the most readable titles of the From the Ashes era. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. more

This looks like another strong addition to the Energon Universe.
The art was on point - Andrei Bressan is an excellent artist, and his work on this issue was no exception. I'm less familiar with Dan Watters, but the pace of the story was good, and the dialogue was very well done - particularly the interactions between Destro and Cobra Commander.
