Series is still going good, loving it still!

The art is phenomenal. This second issue though lacks the intrigue I felt from the first issue. Nonetheless enjoying it very much and can't wait for #3!

I liked DC vs Vampires and All-Out War, I have all the issues so I figured this should be good since Matthew Rosenburg wrote it. Nope, garbage, no idea what is going on here. Lame art, writing is atrocious. The next issue sucks just as much.

Ooooff! This issue jumped the shark!


I enjoyed issue #1 and #2, but this issue turned me off completely. The Joker getting a bullet in the head, shot multiple times in the chest area (as he shows to the doctor he holds hostage to help him), falls in cold ocean water, then he gets the bullet removed from his head with no anesthesia.

What is this Saw IV? I forgot which movie it was but I'm pretty sure Jigsaw had brain surgery the same way. I thought it was stupid then, the concept is still stupid now. I don't care if it's the Joker getting his head open, okay sure, he tore his face off once but it's just kind of redundant, it's just purely for shock value or absurdity. (Oh but it's the Joker it should be absurd), too a point.

The only difference, Saw is just stupid. But your playing with "The Joker". Feel like he is being thrown around like a rag doll and treated like shit without any good purpose or narrative that is remotely satisfying. That's if this Joker is even the real Joker.

Done with this comic, and after that lame WildC.A.T.s comic, I'm not going to be looking for any Matt Rosenburg comics for a long time or maybe ever again.

Lastly, the art on these comics are okay at best nothing great.

You would think for the Joker you would really try to do something great, but I'm not feelin' it Mr. Crabs. more

Well dang.

This was WAY better than it had any right to be.

I was expecting a throwaway series to siphoned extra dollars out of the coming event, nothing more. I wasn't even sure o was gonna give this a go til I read Spideys 13th issue.

This issue was better.

The script is rock solid. Cantwell is great at writing built written figures, but for someone like Norman, just discovering guilt that he's ignored for decades and countless atrocities, they would've had to go a lot farther than simply showing him sulk. And they did, boy they did.

The artwork is absolutely phenomenal. I dont know if I've encountered Medinas work but he just shot up on my list. Faces, figures, backgrounds, textures, its all there. The color work compliments it to give the whole book an eerie vibe, and that accentuates the story in ways I am not going to spoil here. The fight at the end is rather short but its hardly a flaw to take away from what this was.

If you're on the fence, give this a go. I think you'll be as surprised as I was. more

Finally being the sole defender of this comic when it was announced has paid off. This comic is a quintessential example of why you should never let meta-reading and cynicism overtake you as a comic book fan. It leads to you missing out.

This issue of Minor Threats felt like a faster read compared to the last two issues which were filled with plenty of writing. That is not a bad thing, this issue had more action. Which is weird to say because the last two had some great action too.

We find out more about Scalpel and why she is the way she is. Some good stuff on her for sure! The funniest part of this issue was when they enter a time-warped part of the city and run all around in different dimensions being chased by different iterations of The Searcher. This was hilariously drawn and almost feels like a parody on "the multiverse" of comics we all know about.

The characters are great, most of the attention was on Scalpel this time since she had to save Playtime from a bullet wound.

Without saying more, Minor Threats continues to be a very imaginative, well-written, well-drawn, semi-spoof on comics. Yet at the same time is doing a good enough job where it is building up a universe of characters and world setting that is very likable and should be taken seriously!

Can't wait to read issue #4!

Really good story, can't wait for the next issue!

Geoff Johns does an excellent job giving the cartoonist Muddy a real-life feel. Then bringing Junkyard Joe back in makes it a unique tale for sure! This second issue took more time building up Muddy, what happened to him between now in his old retired life from his experience in Vietnam from issue #1.

Without too much exposition or too many details, the story gets the right rhythm on getting the reader to relate to Muddy. Losing his buddies from Vietnam who still haunt him in his dreams, his wife who died from cancer, and the tole of life in general makes for an interesting character.

Issue #3 is definitely going to get really sci-fi especially how it ended on this cliffhanger, plus Geoff Johns revealing the "Unnamed War" timeline.

I highly recommend jumping into this series while it is fresh, it's gonna be a hell of a ride! more

A very fun comic read, I really enjoyed some of the action sequences. Got a lot of 90's vibes from this issue which is a good thing for me.

Great art, taking a bit to get to the point, but some of the dialogue is excellent! Really feels like the Joker at times!

Started off a little slow but picks up!

Definitely the top issue of this series, plenty of great moments to absorb in #10!

Still my only grief is, why Nightwing as the King of Vampires? This has not been answered, and just does not fit Nightwing's character to me. I don't like him as the villain, but I don't know that is me.

Nonetheless great series for crazy vampire stuff!

While the action was fast-paced and fun in this issue, the writing was a bit scattered. There were some plot-holes that kind of bothered e too, but nothing that killed the story for me.

This is just really nice, it's the characters that make this so interesting, and how they adapt to the situations.

I really liked the choice of characters for this series. Deathstroke, Midnighter, Azrael, and so many unique DC characters!
