I agree the use of "they" over and over, took me right out of the story - especially when Han could tell that the assassin was a female.
I have one word to describe this issue - Unreadable. I buy a Red Sonja book to read about Red Sonja, not Maggie from the UK suddenly popping into Sonja's body. The dialogue is complete crap, and the idea is horrible. So, she's a jealous girlfriend chasing after SKye, whom she instantly recognizes in Sonja's world. Why did Maggie jump into another body, and yet Skye looks the same? Please, explain more

Another good issue from Cherish Chen. The chemistry she creates between Aphra and Han is very good. What a difference from the writing on the last run, which was practically unreadable. My only issue with Chen's writing is that there is no B-story thru line. I like the self-contained stories, but there needs to be more to keep people coming back, and she doesn't have this. I would implore her to smore

I have never been a fan of the idea that there are animal-type avatars stuck in the source battery or running around the cosmos that emulate and exude the emotional spectrum. I believe it was Geoff Johns who came up with the idea. Though he has had many great ideas, this was not one of them. Unfortunately, the entire issue revolves around this, so it's lost on me. It was good to see Ava from the amore

When Dorothy is sent to retrieve the powerful Tablet of Destinies to save time itself, she faces an impossible choice—stop the ancient witches destroying Oz or complete her mission… at the cost of her adopted home!
Dust-bowl Kansas, 1939.
They say there's no place like home, but after seeing the wonders of Oz, Dorothy Gale is finding it hard adjusting to a "normal" life back on Earth. So when dust storms, circus freaks, and flying monkeys descend upon her home in 1930s Kansas, what's a simple (highborn) farm girl and her giant wolf to do?

This is just dumb fun, but this issue was a little too weird for me. We start out with some odd dialogue between Flagg (or whover this guy is) and Lex. Why is Flash wearing a bandage on his mask. That does less than nothing. Whne Croc and Kick Shark grew, it made sense because they weren't human. but Superman growing just looked silly. How did his clothes grew with him?

I love Rucka, but I'm having issues with this title. I don't buy that Cheetah and Chesire are that close that she has a nickname for her daughter. He's bringing characters I've never heard of instead of using characters that already exist in the universe.I'm also still cnfused about why the JL would have their powers in a box. This title is really not working for me on so many levels.

I liked the overall idea and action of the issue, but I read the back of the issue where he wrote about the reason he used animals instead of humans. His reasoning is that someone told him that people connect more with animals than other fellow humans. I don't know who told him that, but at least for me, that cannot be further from the truth. I dislike that fact that he used animals in this story more

Jed McKay does know how to keep this title feeling fresh. Moon KNight helps out Wrecker, who is being haunted. It was a good idea having Mook Knight weild the crowbar.

Another good issue, but it's getting a diluted and messy. Suddenly there are dozens of copies of each character. I'm all good with a mirror universe but why does that mirror universe have to have dozens of other mirror universes that all have the ability of interacting?

A much better start than Chip's. We are already seeing the human side of Bruce that we never saw during the previous run. Of course, we have seen Batman as an outcast and being hunted by the police before. Let's see if Fraction does something different with it. I'm not sure which Robin this is. If anyone knows, let me know.

It's sad that we have to buy an elseworlds title to get a decent WW story. And Kelly Thompson as the writer, who would have thunk it. I read every issue of her Capt.

It is good to see that character again. The battle was fun. The story shmore

Rucka made a grave error with this book. He didn't make any jumping-on point for new readers. This sees Forever and her clone fighting against another Lazarus sent to kill them. Forever is shot up, but they end up slicing him up into a few pieces. The artwork is great. The only reason I see Rucka making the bad decision to re-release this title in this way is because he knew no one was going to remore

This is feeling a bit like Walking Dead. In the last issue, they were attacked by bandits. He explodes and is thrown into another area, where he is captured by a mysterious group. Not sure how he remained unhurt by that long fall, but okay, we will let that go. I really love this book and the artwork continues to be amazing.

I don't read many X Books, mostly because they aren't very good. However, this is a throwback to the X-Men comics of the 90s. (In my opinion.) I like the plot of Emma being ostracized and having to discover the mole in her organization that is literally standing right next to her. The first issue is still my favorite. Seeing the old X-Men was a treat.

If this was supposed to be a parody book then I think Wilson did a good job. Wilson is not a writer I normally purchase, but I like Black Cat, so I gave it shot. Boy was it awful.

It's amazing how much writers can go from one side of the spectrum to the other depending on the characters they are writing. Jed Mckay, for instance, does great with Moon Knight, but when it comes to team books, he sucks. Smae here with Segura, who writes Dick Tracy very well, but doesnt' get Star Wars in the least. Leia refuses Luke's help, but then gets captured. She uses the trope of faking a more

This turned out to be a very average title. I realize that Casey only had 4 issues to tell a story with a bunch of characters, but he didn't even try to give it any weight or depth.

One the Space Ghost side, it was just Johnny and Hadji making pomore

I know many people like this series, but I feel like this story is all over this place with far too many threads. I thought the soldier from the first issue was going to be the hero of the story, but we haven't seen him or heard about him in 3 issues. I felt like this issue was a complete waste of time. We don't progress any part of the story except learning that Fox Killer had a kid that was murdmore

Another great issue from Jim Zub. I like the twist that came in this issue. I was worried that this would be a traditional gladiatorial uprising story. I liked the undercover aspect of this, and that there is a loose strand in Bast having escaped. Unlike writers from DC and Marvel, I love how Zub can tell a story in 5 issues or fewer. Looking forward to the next issue.

What they find on this journey will make their blood run cold and set the stage for a conflict beyond their wildest imagination!
I was really looking forward to this team-up. Solo, Lando, and Valance - come on. That's a recipe for adventure, yet Segura gives us none. This issue was just plain awful. He really gets Dick Tracy, but when it comes to Star Wars, he's absolutely clueless. Half of this issue is a flashback about a character I don't care about. And what's with calling the assassin "they"? I thought we were through more

Anyway, this is all I'll say about it. Feel any way anyone wants it'll never be good enough. I'm done commenting or doing anything other than scoring comics. I see the same ol' faces on this site are still doing the same ol' thing and it's tiresome.
But I did Google it. Shakespeare used a singular they to refer to a man. It goes back that far. It's not something new and it's not about making new groups feel better about it. You're just wrong and clearly, your feelings are tied to that wrongness. May as well type out "sigh" while you're at it.
Majik just doesn't warrant her own series. She's not a strong enough character. Now the demon is in Cal's body. We have some awkward dialogue between Majik and Moonstar where each of them is looking for the other to lead, and the demon keeps giving the orders instead. I thought this was a mini-series, but if this is an ongoing then this is a drop for me.

Though this issue has some good fight scenes and we finally get a pay off to the assassin storyline in a small degree. The rest of the issue is a sloppy mess. Mace should have been able to stop that dart, especaily when he knew where it was coming from. And Qui-Gon should have been able to force push the assassin. It would have been cool if the assassin was immune to it, but we didn't get that. Inmore

This is a different type of story, which I like. We have the battle of Space Ghost with Toymaker, while Jan and Jace have a conversation with their grandfather. He is attempting to gain custody, but they want to stay with Space Ghost and state their case. This is a good jumping-on point for new readers. I'm glad it did well enough to warrant another volume.
