You know what ? I like B-movies. This issue was not great, was not very smart, but it was like a very good, brainless b-movie of the 80 with Batman. And i'm up for that.

My only grip: it would have worked better as an Ultimate Punisher Series. But, it was very good.

Wow... Tini Howard must be stopped.And what happened to Zdarsky ? Are there any editors left at DC?

Wyn is just a less relatable Doctor Strange, and there is not on sympathetic character in this comics.

Halala... action, surprises, emotion, it's all there... but it doesn't fit. Because...by trying to deconstruct Batman (again), there's not much left of DC's great, ultra-capable hero. He's in pieces (again). You'd think it was a contest. Or it's in the brief. Who can best scuttle Batman's psyche (again)? Chip Zdarksy sure can, but why? There was a time when Batman was there to serve the story. Now, he's the story! all the time. At once the narrator, the villain, the victim, the reason, the cause, the consequence, the center of it all. There's no more hero serving his city in the shadows, no more genius. There's an ogre with shaky sanity (again and again) who is the alpha and omega of all storytelling. If you look closely, there's no story. Or so little, it's sad.

I'm a bit surprised by the reception of this arc: for me, it's been a long time since I've read an Avengers comics this good. Of course, there are flaws. The Ashen Combine isn't developed enough, the action is too scattered... but when you compare it to Jason Aaron's run, it's like night and day.

Unsubtle politics, nerfed breasts, a stupid name change, an annoying antagonist, a jobbing protagonist, and an uninteresting setup. Just one more garbage DC book that will sell horribly and be forgotten.

Leah Williams has cool ideas, cool concepts, but she is not a good writer.

I like Zdarsky but don't understand the hype for this run, but to each their own.

I feel like I've read this story a dozen times, by better writers.

Reminds me of Immortal Hulk (which is good) but it lacks the gut-punch of the first issue of Ewings. But it's vastly superior than the Cates issues, love the horror theme, and better that a lot of other comics.

The problem is that the indian Spider-man of Across the spider-verse is better designed, much interesting, much fun... it's not fair, but this character suffer of the comparison with his animated counterpart in every aspect.

Moon Knight is the new Daredevil. Even his worst issues are very good.

It was decent and not agressively insulting to the fans of T'challa. And maybe it's the best we can get for a Black Panther book this day.

I really can't with Orlando. His stories are always disjointed, and he tries to write social commentaries in his X-Men, and it's ok (it's the X-men after all), but it's always heavy-handed and it lacks complexity.
