The conclusion to the Negative Man storyline. It was pretty heartfelt towards the end, even though Pepose literally had Space Ghost wear the Bat Armor. It was a nice ending and I love how Pepose doesn't draw stories out.

LEGACY OF DESTRUCTION!

As the rampaging villain works to rebuild the generator that originally transformed him into nigh-omnipotent negative energy, the Guardian of the Spaceways must construct a brand-new weapon to defeat the rogu...
Why can't we have this artist all the time on this title? Such an upgrade from Sherman. Can you tell I don't like his art on this title? This was a mild issue that got a little annoying near the beginning. Three panels would have sufficed, with her constantly asking for help. The save in the first few pages is a soemthing we don't see enough of in comics nowadays. The story itself is a little blan more

Absolute Wonder Woman Annual #1
The experience of briefly becoming Medusa in order to save Gateway City changed Diana. It haunts her, and she has never stopped seeking an answer from the gods. Her pleas to Athena have gone unanswered...until now. If she wants justice, the mission is deadly and uncertain. Is it worth the risk just to set right one injustice? Breakout artist Mattia...
Another reboot of the title. Why? I have no idea what Marvel is doing when they reboot a title for no reason. It's not even a new creative team. I didn't read the last issue, so I didn't know he was captured. This was a weird beginning, but I'll roll with it. I like the ending. Let's see where it goes.

I'm not like this src as much as some of the others. I understand why they left the knight behind, but something is missing without him. Of course, with the entry of time travel, everything about the Geiger universe is altered. Let's see where all of this goes.

END OF STORY ARC
THE NORTHERNER: DEAD AMERICA, PART 2
The mysterious Northerner can't explain how he's been torn from the Civil War and dropped into the wasteland after the Unknown War-and the last man willing to guide him is Tariq Geiger, the Glowing Man. But as enemies close in, and old ghosts resurface, the Northerner's arrival may b...
Though the art is good, I'm just not vibing with this event. There's no story. It's just a series of battles. Here we get the absolute characters, and they do absolutely (pun intended) nothing with them. There's no development whatsoever. Why get the Saturn Girl ending, and they reveal the identity of the character Darkeid is controlling, which is the same character that was revealed as a villain more

I'm really bummed that this title has been canceled. I'm not sure why. It wasn't from sales, was it just that they didn't Johnson's sontract was up and they didn't renew it? Very strange. It's a decent conclusion to the run. Too bad we won't be getting any more.

Batman and Robin have found themselves caught in the middle, desperate for answers and on the brink of defeat! The Dark Knight Detective and the Boy Wonder have one more trick up their sleeve, but will it be enough? Find out in the thrilling final ...
I would have loved to give this an 8 rating. It started out so great. The dialogue is good, it's obvious that Josh gets the characters. The artist achieved all of the likenesses of the apes. All good stuff. We get Red Ghost in here, which is genius. I don't think the last flashback was necessery, but whatever. The trial was smartly written with Johnny jumping in when he wasn't wanted and they have more

Upon seeing everyone's rating on this issue, I must have read something different from everyone else. The best thing about this issue was the cover. I don't think Ashley Allen is a good writer. I tried reading her Magik run and I had to drop it because it got progressively worse. With the writing and dialogue, I never go the sense that these two were related and we get some wierd monsters. I would more

When they return to their mother country, they discover ancient monsters from Russia...
This already feels like it's dragging. Lemire has the talent of drawing out stories until they become zombies dragging their lifeless corpses along the concrete. I'm not really interested in this interation of the JSA. I would have preferred to read about the younger members, rather than going back to year one. This should have been a quick 3 to 4 issue arc. And why is Hippolyta here? Doesn't that more

As our heroes converge on Starco in Gotham City, the villain pulling all the strings is finally revealed!
Flash has a chance to return everything regarding the recreation of Mongo. He has a final battle with Dark Flash, including using the monkey bars. There were some really good issues in this run, but the conclusion was pretty lackluster. Jeremy concludes his run with this issue over over a year. The best thing that came out of it, in my opinion was robot Zarkov. I thought that was a great idea. I'm more

A decent issue, though I lost a lot of respect for the scientist woman when she didn't realize that Batman and Bruce are the same person. I do like the art resembling Neil Adams.I also love Tim finally going away. He's been so destroyed by previous writers that I just hope they kill him off already. Retiring is just as good I guess. So, maybe some day a writer can return him to what he used to be. more

Gotham City becomes a powder keg as superstars Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez continue their acclaimed run on the Caped Crusader...
I'm not jiving with this story arc. It's a lot of text boxes for no reason. When did the king become a magic user? Way too much exposition about these barons, or nobles, or whatever they are. Only for them to be completely inconsequential since Conan took the crown anyway. Usually, he has arcs that end in 3 issues. I think the one I don't like is going to take longer.

Conan the Mercenary cares nothing for these royal rumors and petty politics, but the Cimmerian's skill in battle is about to put him in the path of a mad monarch, and his life wi...
This is a completely average and disappointing first issue. I was expecting a lot more from Williamson after G.I. Joe and Superman. Just from this issue, I'm getting the feeling he doesn't get Iron Man like he gets those other characters. I'm going to get issue 2 with the hopes that the story will go somewhere other than teachers being geniuses.

Truthfully, I'm not following Absolute Batman. The only reason I bought this issue is because Wonder Woman is in it. I like that she's taller than Batman in this universe. Batman going to Hades to find a remedy for Walon Jones doesn't really lend itself to the character's strength. It should have remained a street-level story with, perhaps, bringing Zatanna in as a Wonder Woman villain. I thought more

Absolute Batman #16
Part two of our Absolute Batman/Absolute Wonder Woman story- Bruce Wayne is on a desperate hunt to help his friend Waylon, now transformed into a monstrous crocodile roaming the sewers, consumed with a deadly hunger. Batman's last option for a cure is to turn to a god for help...but will he have to descend into the depths of hell to get it?
I'm not following DC KO, so I appreciate that this issue continued the storyline with the Dark Legion. I'm not a fan of the Superman robots trope. There's no way that a robot can match the powers or strength of Superman. It makes no sense. I'm also not a fan of Lois having powers. I was glad when she lost them. IT's been three years, when is Zod going to claim his power back?

Superman #34
Darkseid's plan worked! Earth has been transformed into Apokolips. His Dark Legion prepares the Earth for his imminent arrival. If Superman is locked in the tournament, who can stand up and defeat them?
We start with a guy destroying his hand with a hammer. Pretty gruesome. The art is a little sloppy at times. There's way too much ink in this art, which makes it hard to make out faces sometimes. I like that Katrina's daughter has sight, and it is connected to the tree from the movie. I'm not sure how many issues there are, but it's got to be winding down because we already killed most of the huma more

Their investigation turns to the townsfolk, and- everyone is a suspect-from the widowers of the deceased to the local apothecary owne...
A filler issue. I wasn't a big fan of the mob Hulk in this one. I must have missed how Barry lost his powers. I'm also not sure about the science of Hal "pushing" Barry into super speed. That doesn't make any sense, and then on top of that, he is out of his line of sight. So, it wouldn't work. Without Hal putting a shield around him, Barry's body would be ripped apart even if he were able to reach more

This issue wasn't as good as the others. It was more of a comedic story about the introduction of Roadblock. I love the character except for the Rock's portrayal of him. Overall, this issue was pretty silly. Let's see where it goes from here.
