Tom Taylor likes to stand on a soap box sometimes in his comics so Ra's is a great character for him to write. This has pretty solid storytelling, GREAT art, and was entertaining. I'm guessing the one bad day is the day he re-lives every time he's resurrected? Anyway, this was pretty good.

I'll admit, I was not looking forward to reading this issue. I just don't really think Ra's Al Ghul is interesting, at least not usually. But this is great. It turns out when you don't make Ra's a one note old man who can't get over his grandson's lineage, he can actually be kind of cool. I think what helped is that we get Ra's Al Ghul's perspective. We see why he's so motivated, instead of that being taken for granted. I know this issue will probably get a lot of hate because climate denialism is a popular pastime among the stupid, and this issue really isn't subtle about where it falls on that issue. As always, they should be ignored. The art is great, as well. It's Ivan Reis, so that's no surprise.

Overall, I'd call the One Bad Day line a success. Some issues weren't so good, but I feel like others will go down as must-reads for their respective characters. Once you get past the sort of cynical, corporate fueled nature of trying to sell out on the back of a single, very over-played story, you can see that there's plenty to offer in most of the issues. more

One of the better Ras recent stories. Most of them tend to be very similar but this one by virtue of being out of canon feels interesting and surprising at places. Taylor has a great voice for Ras which I kind of been missing from modern DC comics. The art is superb, Ivan Reis delivers as usual.

My only complain would be the twist which was shocking and very emotionally but I just wish Taylor would have commited to the bit and not reverse it. Nonetheless one of the best OBD stories I have read with a clever spin on the "bad day" concept. more

A bit of slow burn with an emphasis on the flashbacks and Maria's narration. Saiz draws some cool pages of Frank's "labors" but storywise the issue is more of the same up untill the last couple of pages which were really great.

Welp they made Dr. Strange political. Did I just read a story about interdimensional immigrants, magic being a metaphor for psychedelics and Wong changing status quo by reforming criminals? Not in my comics.

In all seriuosness a solid start a bit on a silly fun side but with an interesting mystery for the future. I also really love how MacKay writes Clea and Stephen, their dynamic is one of my favorite in Marvel right now. more

HAHA. I still cannot believe that Wells made this great WHAT DID PETER DO? plot point out of a mediocre Brand New Day story. Also if there is nothing else to the Mayan god exploded because MJ ripped him in half then Peter did literaly nothing. It will be such a nothing twist. Oh well, we will see but I really want the run to move on from this stuff. It would have been relevant maybe half a year ago but right now I am bored to tears. more

It astonishing how this book has no Spider-man in it but manages to be the best Spider-man right now.

Sabretooth & The Exiles feels very much like Hellions which I liked. LaValle writes nice team dynamic which is kinda similar to Wells' book but still manages to be somewhat fresh and interesting. The art is a little bit rough for my taste.

Clea and Stephen are such a fun couple. I hope Clea will be around in the new Dr. Strange ongoing or we are fighting.

Deconstruction of one Norman Osbourn continues. Doesn't feel like a Dark Web tie-in tho.

I like the more comedic aspects of this issue. It's a nice mix of dark humor and self-loathing. I hope Cantwell keeps up the good work.

Round 3 of Aaron's opus isn't that different than 1 and 2.
It's characters fighting and saying catchprases. Truly a brainless comic

It doesn't get better than a monster mosque.

While the beginning was a little confussing with several time jumps I really enjoyed the rest of the issue. It's a very fun read.

I can feel Jed MacKay's pain about all Felicia's character devolopment undone by Wells & Lowe. Honestly, same.

Beast is the dumbest planner of all time and nobody really questions him. Like everybody on Krakoa knows he's doing shady stuff and his only excuse is Wolverine went on a secret mission that he can't talk about. That's all this genius war criminal could've come up with? Wtf?

Also why such an important moment like Beast's court hearing was given in text form. X-desk has been a major plot thread why it's suddenly a backup material more

I hate giving an issue such a low rating, but I came away from this issue feeling incredibly disappointed. I was expecting a continuation of the story that was told in X-Force #35, but given what Beast was allowed to get away with, I couldn't tell where this issue was supposed to be placed and that was distracting. The supporting cast also felt lackluster this issue, neither Hope nor Sage pushed back enough against Beast and his very obvious evil schemes. And Logan's limited narration did not help the issue at all either, I feel like we missed out on some true world building outside of a few data pages that just drive home how corrupted and unsalvageable Beast is at this point. more

Nice one-shot. Firestar doesn't do much in the main book so it's nice to see her get some appreciation. I hope Steve Fox gets some X-mini down the line, I liked his House of 92.

Like I know it's a superhero zombie story but still Mr. Mxyzptlk inclusion is too much. Literally a reality-bending character creates so much plot holes in the story. Like why don't you try to convince him to bring everything back as it was before or take out Darkseid without direct engagement. His powers are limitless. Such a bizarre choice.

Overall not a very fun read for me.

Damian being evil again really sucked (yeah he was under mind control, but it's still so tiring). It's 1 step forward, 2 steps back with him. He has to always has to become unbearable for some reason after getting some character growth.

Also all DC magic users being used as props in a Batman book bothers me the most. It's a creatively bankrupt move. more

Didn't see that one coming...

Not much is happening here. Some nice action, some interesting moments with Key. Although I prefer Dan Mora's with ligher colors he still nails it.

Nice twist tho.

The Crisis to end all crises.

This issue shows the missed opportunity with this event. Dark Crisis should've been about legacy characters getting their chance to stand on their own and showcase the importance of legacy in DC universe, but DC being DC had to make it all about rebooting the Multiverse. And this issue truly delivered characterwise. The Nightwing and Deathstroke's face-off was great as are other moments. If the story wasn't trying to suck up to Crisis on Infinite Earths it would've had some standout qualities instead of being just Crisis-lite.

But as a whole this event was just a bunch of characters fighting most notorius villains turned into mindless goons with the most dull big bad of all crises Pariah (whose inclusion in this event is pure fanservice).

Deathstroke being a big player was very compelling but rushed by the end. It's like the Williamson lost interest in Pariah and decided to make Slade the final boss. It fits thematically but not storywise as he was sidelined for the whole thing.

Daniel Sampere is the selling point of DCOIE. Consistent banger through and through. Love every single splash pages he did.

It's kind of sad that all this build up in many of Williamson's good books was for nothing. I laughed when I saw Failsafe and Nezha in the end as if they were teasering new big things while they were happening already for months during Dark Crisis. Truly the Testament of DC's lack of clear vision post-Metal. Hope the Lazarus Planet will be good tho. more

This book is pretty good. Catwoman/Batman interactions were great, the final one especially touching. I like the supporting cast of this run but Valmont proved to be a wasted character. He was used as tool to progress the story without any deepth to him, but at least it led to something insteresting. Eiko being back as Catwoman was on my wishlist since new52, so this finale makes me very excited.

I'll take these Titans' crumbs over whatever they've got on HBO Max

Johns' Stargirl never misses.
I think when GJ doesn't have to balance multiple plot threads and re-invent the entire DC universe at the same time, but just write more personal stories, he truly shines.
Todd Nauck continues to surprise me, that arrow cave splash is amazing.

Still fun but the final out-of-left field twist doesn't sit well with me. A plot like that could have been pretty epic but Adams keep it too small scaled for me. It feels like he just rushed through an entire arc in two issues.

Finally some development for Melinda. She wasn't center-front in the last couple of issues so it's a nice change of pace. Family moments cary the story this time around.

The plot tho felt a little bit rushed especially by the end. The fight between by Double dare & Nightwing by Redondo gets only one nice splash page (which is a crime. should've been more). Some pages were drawn by Borges so the art of this issue is lacking overall. more

I kind of feel like John Ridley ran out of steam. His Black Panther is going down the same route. Although here the situation is worse because Ridley separated Jace from Batfamily so he has to create his own lore. Which is regular criminals without any personality (except for maybe Manray) and underdeveloped supporting cast.

Finally we are moving somewhere. I hope the next issue continues to reveal more about the main story. Self-contained issues were fun at first but they overstayed their welcome. While I liked the tension this issue built up it still dragged a little bit.

The classic "the great hero is now sad and sheltered won't help us fight" trope has entered the chat.

At least Jen reveal could be something. IDK

All the Nightcrawler Squad/Black Knight stuff was interesting. Other plotlines not so much

Coccolo's art is really the stand-out of this run. I wish this book was a little bit more creative when it comes to jokes. Deadpool being lovesick gets tiring pretty quickly. Body horror is pretty fun tho
