I usually try to be as positive as I can with the books I read, and that may still be present a bit with what I'll say later in this review, but I just was not a huge fan of this. It pains me to say it, because I actually like Tini Howard and I know she's capable of good stories, but this was a miss for me. I don't even blame her either. I think her, along with a lot of DC writers right now, have been placed in a really weird position with the Knight Terrors event, in that they've been forced to pause their series for two months and either write a 2-issue tie-in or take a break and have someone else do it. While I do appreciate this different approach to the event then the other tie-ins I've read, I agree with what another user stated in their review, in that this took too long to get to the point (that being Harley feeling like she's not enough for the Justice League). The story was kind of all over the place and I wasn't really sure what the point was until it was outright stated in the end. It also doesn't help that Sherman's art was not the strongest. I would have given this a 5.0/10, but the backup really sealed the deal on this for me. I wasn't really sure what was happening throughout the story and I'm still not really sure what the whole point of it was. Along with the odd story, we had the art. While I can see Templesmith's art appealing to certain people, it just didn't sit right with me here and it was the most off-putting part of this entire book. All in all, there are certain ideas I like about this book, but the negative outweighs the positive, unfortunately. All I can do is hope that the next issue is able to bring this all together. The only reason I'm putting this on my Pull List here is because I read the current Harley Quinn series and this is the only content I'll have for that until September.

I just wasn't really into this one, unfortunately. While I didn't give this the same score as them, I still agree with a lot of what DerbyComics said in their review, so I would recommend you read that. As for what I can say about this, I just felt like Bronfman's dialogue was a bit too generic for my liking. It didn't really feel like any of the characters were truly authentic. The art was nice, but it too began to lose me a little as time went on. Also, I have to mention that this barely has anything to do with Gang War, despite it being listed on the checklist. I think I'll still check out the upcoming Jackpot & Black Cat series from Bronfman, but I'm not too hopeful about it after reading this, unfortunately.

This wasn't the worst Knight Terrors title, but I wasn't really into this all that much. The story felt very average to me. It wasn't BAD, but it wasn't really GOOD either. It just landed right in the middle for me. The art was solid here, but it wasn't enough to really change my opinion on this much. With that said, I think it's safe to rate this right in the middle at 5/10. The only reason I'm putting this on my Pull List here is because I read the current Titans series and I won't be getting any content from that until this is over.

Look, I've done my best to be positive with this crossover, as I've genuinely liked it thus far, despite some bumps in the road. However, this just really lost me. It's not even a bad book, in my opinion. I just found myself getting more bored as time went on. I think the start of this issue was solid and I actually enjoyed the relationship between Jason and Rose, aside from that weird "sex in the bushes" line from the latter. However, it just continued to get less and less interesting for me. I've been enjoying Rosenberg's Man Who Stopped Laughing series with Joker, but this was just not it.

Definitely one of the books of all time. Seriously, though, I just could not get invested in this one. Andrews & Lins's story was probably the best, but it felt a bit disjointed at times. As for Nocenti & Baldeón's, it felt even more disjointed than the previous one. Baldeón's art was solid, but Nocenti's story just felt super odd and strange. Even Schultz & Chang's story wasn't great. It certainly wasn't as interesting as their story in the last issue. I don't know, maybe it's because I'm reading this while a little tired, but I really struggled to get into this issue.

Maybe I'm being a little harsh here, but I didn't care too much for this. It was nice to see Silver Surfer in the first story, but I also felt like said story didn't really go anywhere. The second story with Satana is one of the main reasons my score wasn't just a 5.0/10, as I did find it enjoyable, especially the art. The final part of the third continuing story, however, was very "fine." Them deciding to be a team felt super rushed and it's something that especially annoys me in stories, whether comics or not.

This sort of...happened I guess? I don't know, I was never really all that into this book, but it's a little annoying that this, as Psycamorean stated in his review, was built up over the course of four issues...just for it to end in another series. It's not like it's ending in a one-shot, either. It's ending in a different X-book that's already been going on simultaneously. I'm not incredibly mad about it, since I'm reading both books, but it's still a little annoying. Aside from that, this was just not my favorite. I especially wasn't into the two-page spread where each team member gave their own monologues about Krakoa. It just felt a little forced and unnatural.

This was a fairly average final issue for this miniseries. While the Zagaria's art was solid, a lot of Sacks's scripts felt very basic and generic. I think he tried to give the characters their own unique personalities, but something just wasn't fully clicking there for me. Sometimes, it felt as though some of the characters I was reading were trying to talk like the characters they actually are, if that makes sense. There wasn't anything particularly BAD about this issue, but there wasn't anything really great or spectacular either. This was just very mediocre.

I feel like this was kind of a waste of an issue. Nothing really notable happened here, other than seeing Casey act weird throughout the issue. The first issue set up an interesting story that isn't really capitalized on or even really advanced here. Plus, I just wasn't feeling the art style like I was before. I'm really hoping things can get better with Issue 3, as this has the potential to be so much better than what this was.

I just was not feeling this one. Nicuolo's art is the highlight of this, though even that was a little weird at times and the last few pages were from different artists (who weren't bad by any means, but I'm not sure why they were there in the first place). As for the story from Williams, I just wasn't really invested this time around. We're halfway through this miniseries and I'm still not entirely sure what the point of it is currently.

The rest of this series has been slightly above average due to the fair amount of interest I had in the overall plot and because the art is solid. However, I would have to consider this the worst issue of the series, which especially sucks considering it's the final one. For whatever reason, this was kind of boring at times, especially in the final few pages. A lot of this felt thrown together as well, and it just didn't work all that well for me. It's not terrible, which is why I'm rating it what I am. However, this was definitely a weak ending for a "fine" miniseries.

I thought I would rate this about the same s the other five issues in the series, but this just ended things on a bit of a whimper for me, unfortunately. This was pretty average, as you can tell by my rating. I just felt like this was a wrap-up that felt a little rushed and weird.

Honestly, I don't fully know how to feel about this. This issue itself is "fine," but I wasn't super into the ending. Spoiler warning, but I'm not super into basically making Cypher Apocalypse, but yellow and also smaller. I don't know, hopefully it gives way to something good.

Not a bad story, but it left a bit to be desired for me. It's very much filler, but that's what I expected with the guest team of Joe Kelly & Terry Dodson. Although the story was a bit lacking, I did particularly enjoy some of Kelly's dialogue and comedic stuff. As for Dodson, that man can virtually do no wrong, in my opinion. As usual, his art was great.

This was fine, I guess. I'm having a bit of trouble getting interested in this. Ferreira's art is solid, but nothing incredible. As for Ireland, the story is purely "fine." I wouldn't call this a bad comic, because it's not. It's just that the stories of Morbius working with vampires to find a cure for his vampirism and Peter working with Misty Knight and Lizard aren't currently doing enough for me. "Morbin' time" being said in a canon Marvel book is the best thing about this, for me.

I, personally, don't think this was as bad as others believe it to be, but I can also see why a lot of people aren't fans of this. Either way, there was a fair amount of stuff I liked here, but this feels like it deviated away from the initial point of the crossover a bit. At the very least, the ending leaves me interested to see where both Batman and Catwoman will go next in their respective series.

I wouldn't call this a bad series, but I just couldn't really get into it, unfortunately. I felt like there was a little too much focus on the different gods for my liking. Furthermore, I just didn't care that much about whatever T'Challa was doing.

I'm just not the biggest fan of this storyline, unfortunately. I think it has an interesting concept, but the execution of it leaves a bit to be desired, unfortunately. It doesn't help that the logic of Selina suddenly working with Flamingo wasn't really clear to me. Maybe I missed something there, but I just wish this was coming together better.

I feel like the idea of this series is more interesting than the actual series itself. I think it's cool that this team gets to be the main one of a miniseries, but they also feel a little lifeless at the same time. Even the art isn't all that great here. The art in the first pew pages is pretty solid, but it goes downhill once the team travels to Moira's seventh life, in my opinion.

This one was just really weird, in my opinion. I wouldn't call this issue bad, but I also felt as though it was a bit too complicated for my liking. Don't get me wrong, I like and appreciate when a comic is complex, but this is a different level to the point where it's just confusing at times. I will say that I did enjoy Deodato Jr.'s art a good amount. I just wish Spurrier's story made a little more sense.

I wasn't incredibly looking forward to this after I felt very "meh" about Bronfman's one-shot for Jackpot. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. While I would say this is an improvement on that book, this still isn't particularly great. I think this has a solid premise with the Obscura app and everything, but I just wish the writing and/or the execution of it all was more interesting; or just better? Even the art was a little hit-or-miss for me at times. As with any issue I rate in the "yellows", I hope this can improve with the next issue.

This is definitely and improvement upon the first issue, but I still didn't really care all that much about what was happening. I think the idea of Titans Tower having a spirit or life force of sorts is an interesting idea, but it's not something I would associate with the Titans. Moving back to the story itself, it was fine, but nothing special. I'm just glad that Knight Terrors is over and that we can get back to the regular line of books.

This miniseries continues to drop in quality for me, unfortunately. Bachs's art is good, but a lot of the dialogue from Barnes feels a bit generic. Plus, it doesn't help that I'm really losing interest in the overall story. Hopefully the next, and final, issue can make this all worth the read.

This wasn't a bad read or anything, but I was hoping for more from Luke Cage's first series in quite some time. Especially considering that his City of Fire miniseries a few years ago got cancelled before it even began. Either way, this was fine. I just wish it was written a bit better.

I wasn't feeling this as much as the previous two issues, though I will say that the new costumes for everyone at the end all look super cool and they're probably the best thing about this miniseries so far. I also just wanted to ask why would Kolvarr (the guy from The Children of Mhuruuk) hit the "s" in "dimension" like he would the "s" in "belongs?" He would be doing a "sh" sound during in the word, "dimension," so that doesn't really make sense to me unless there's a different way to pronounce "dimension" that I don't know about.

Another fine issue here. I did appreciate Sacks bringing us to the moment that really sent the story into motion, though. Other than that, I don't have much to say about this issue. One thought I had while reading this was that I need to hear Valtorr say "sisters," the exact way Sacks wrote it. So much "s." Also, why is there an extended "s" at the beginning of "shamans?" This is exactly like the "dimension" thing I brought up in my review of the previous issue.

DDJamesB summed this issue up pretty well in their review. Moon Knight is a very unique character in the Marvel Universe, but this story just feels very generic. There's some fun and interesting stuff in this issue, which raises my score a bit higher. However, this can feel very run-of-the-mill at times. I'm not sure why they had Hill step in for Marcelo Ferreira in the middle of the miniseries, but his art isn't bad by any means. It's not the greatest, but I wouldn't call it bad. Overall, while I wouldn't call this a bad issue, especially since I think it did have some cool moments, I still think this was closer to average than it was to great.

Carey's art was probably the best part of this issue aside from Cruz's great cover. When it comes to the story, I just wasn't all that interested in it. It's not bad or anything, but I'm having a little bit of difficulty finding a reason to care about these characters currently. I was intrigued by the sea monsters and everything, but I just feel like this book has the potential to be something more.

This wasn't as interesting to me as the first issue, unfortunately. I just wasn't all that into most of this, even though it wasn't even really bad. However, the best parts of this book came when Batman was on the page. Another brighter spot of this was the art, as I enjoyed it throughout. My main issue is that there isn't enough for me to latch on and care about here. Hopefully the team is able too change my mind as this goes on. Otherwise, I will purely be reading this because it has to do with Howard's Catwoman.

This is my first exposure to most of the characters of Strange Academy. What I got here wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't really bad, either. This felt more like something targeted more towards younger readers, but that doesn't make it particularly bad or anything. That sort of thing just isn't always my favorite. However, one thing I didn't like was the insertion of Spanish words for Germán. I'm a Hispanic, and I very much would like for more Hispanic characters to get more prominent roles in every form of media, including comics. That said, media like movies and television often have a strange (no pun intended) habit of forcing in Spanish words into a Hispanic character's dialogue to hammer home that said character is Hispanic. Now, I'm going to guess Older is Hispanic himself because of the little I've seen and heard about him. So, I'm not trying to say it's a "race thing" or whatever. It's just something that always annoys me, because it almost never sounds natural. I know I went on a rather long tangent about that, but I also want to point out that it didn't really alter my opinion of the book that much. I'm still gonna read this miniseries and hope it gets better from here.

I couldn't decide whether or not to give this a 5.5/10 or a 6.0/10, so I decided on the latter since I thought the art here was pretty good. The writing just isn't all that engaging to me, especially with Doom randomly showing up at the end. I appreciated the story of Germán dealing with finding out that Pia is a vampire, though I felt like it could have been handled a bit better as well.

I was never super into this series, and this issue didn't change my mind, unfortunately. This just felt a little too rushed for me and it doesn't help that I don't really think this was incredibly necessary the grand scheme of things. I understand that the kids played into Doctor Doom's plan in the main Blood Hunt miniseries, but the story here didn't really warrant the existence of this, in my opinion.

I hate to say this, but this series continues to drop in quality for me. I saw someone say this about this issue somewhere else and I completely agree, in that there is so much banter between the team members. Look, I couldn't care less if there's banter between characters and I think that when it's done well it's done well. However, what we get here feels generic and somewhat lifeless. What makes me rate this a 6/10 instead of something lower is because the art is solid and the story throughout this issue is able to maintain a fair level of interest. However, that interest is fading.

I basically feel the same way as I did with the previous issue, so you can read my review of that if you're interested. I will say there isn't as much banter here, though. However, one thing that really stuck out and annoyed me was when Dick says there are situations happening all over the country and then precedes to list three places, two of which are in the same state. He lists Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Gotham. I'm not sure where Gotham is supposed to be located, but the first two are literally both well-known cities in California. I feel like there are various different places he could have said instead. For example, Dallas, Chicago, or Miami are all good examples of this. Nonetheless, I rate this a bit above average due to the fact that I find the overall story kind of interesting. The dialogue just needs some work.

While not, technically, a bad series, this has dropped right back down in quality for me. The banter I’ve mentioned in my reviews for previous issues has become more prominent here, which can be distracting at times. When it’s done well, it’s done well. However, Scott does it so much and it doesn’t help that it just feels basic at times. Luis’s art is solid here, but it doesn’t fully save the weaker script. One of the saving graces of this miniseries has been the intrigue created by the overall plot, but even that’s began to fade. I can only hope that this team can bring everything together going into the final issue.

I decided to give this a try after reading the previous Titans United series, even though I wasn't the biggest fan of it. As far as Bloodpact goes, this very much reminds me of the first series, in that overall story is the best part of it, if that makes sense. What I mean is that the writing is not the best and the art is solid, but the main selling point for me is the fact that the story, seemingly an alternate universe/timeline in this case, intrigues me. All I can hope is that this ends up being better than its predecessor.

This doesn't do much more for me than the previous issue, unfortunately. This alternate universe/timeline as a whole interests me, but the story isn't written well enough to make it all that good, in my opinion. I did like Dick as Batman and Starfire showing up at the end, though. Plus, the art is still solid.

There was some fun action here, but I was really struggling to find something to latch onto here. I don't know. It doesn't help that I knew next to nothing about Union Jack before reading this, and I didn't have much interest in him. Hopefully the next issue can close things out strongly.

I liked this more than some people, but it's not great. I was hoping for more from this debut, especially with the rise of Yelena's popularity a bit from being in Black Widow and Hawkeye in the MCU. However, the humor this felt a little forced at times, with one example being Mr. Best's daughter pointing out how nicely Yelena tied the knots. I also felt a bit indifferent towards the art. It was good in some places and not so good in others. What's keeping me around for Issue 2 is the story itself, as I think it's fairly solid. Hopefully the next issue is able to fix, what I believed to be, the mistakes that were present here.

I love Joshua Cassara's cover for this issue. I wish I could say the same about Brown's interiors. Man, it was even worse in this issue. His art was "fine" in the last issue, but it just works even less here. What annoyed me, particularly, was the amount of lines he used to create shadows on the faces of the characters. It just did not look good. Even Percy's story wasn't all that great. I initially liked the amount of focus we were getting on Kid Omega, but it just hasn't been working out how I had hoped. Hopefully this series can get back on track sooner rather than later, as I was enjoying this series a lot more before these last few issues.

Still not INCREDIBLY into this book, unfortunately. I kind of felt like this was a weird way to take this story when you only have four issues to do the tournament. Well, kind of only three issues considering that you have to set the whole thing up in the first issue. Anyways, yeah, this was fine. It's not bad or anything, but it's also not something I see myself re-reading unless things really pick up in the second half.

This isn't a BAD book, but I'm really excited to read the last issue so I can be done with it. I mainly picked this up because I thought it might have some sort of influence over the From the Ashes relaunch with the X-Men titles, whether it's on one title or multiple. So far, this has been a very "fine" book. Nothing really extraordinary has happened, but nothing incredibly dumb has happened either. I'm just struggling to care as much as I'd like to.

While I did, personally, enjoy this a bit more than the first part, it still was kinda average. One thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the dialogue during the fights. Maybe it's just an issue I, alone, experienced, but I felt as though it was a bit difficult to figure out what was going on during the action sequences, while also reading what was being said. As I stated in my review of the previous issue (#19/#914), this is issue also very much filler, which was to be expected with the guest creative team. On the other hand, this issue did get me more excited for one thing in particular. That being the relationship between Peter and Felicia. I've always preferred the two of them together as opposed to MJ or Gwen. I'm hoping that it's something that goes much farther than these two issues. However, I also wouldn't be surprised if it ends so they can go back to Peter & Mary Jane. Fingers crossed Peter and Felecia are long-term!

A very science-heavy issue here. This advanced the story a bit from the previous issue just enough to keep my interest. I’m not quite sure how I feel about the villain and the overall plot so far. After waiting nearly a year for this, it doesn’t feel quite as “epic” as I had expected. Hopefully it will pick up with the next few issues, but this has yet to live up to the long wait thus far. This isn’t to say that this issue wasn’t good, because it was still a fairly solid issue. The whole “god/deity” storyline isn’t what I was expecting, but it’s still enjoyable and I did enjoy seeing Mary Jane’s husband show up in this new world and seeing the spider device Peter’s holding in the first pages of Issue 1 finally show up. All in all, this was a solid issue, but I really hope the story starts to pick up very soon.

Gang War was a bit of a disappointment, but I didn't hate this. I will say that I did like the way this ended, referring to Tombstone's closing words here. I hope this means there's still more story for him, as his storyline with Peter back in this run's first arc was the best this series has consistently been.

Not a bad read, but also a weird way to continue from ASM #49. As Psycamorean and Afre pointed out in their, respective, reviews, Peter's attitude towards the vampires is odd. In the aforementioned ASM #49, we saw an interesting development of Peter realizing that the vampires he's facing used to be normal humans, thus causing him to become more careful when fighting them. However, that seems to be largely ignored here. I don't know if that was a miscommunication between anyone, but it was just weird here. Aside from that, this was a solid story, but nothing all that special. It didn't help that I'm not the biggest fan of Ferreira's art. Hopefully things pick up a bit with the next issue.

A fine finale. Everything went back to normal, as predicted. I'm not really sure how I feel about Ireland writing the main Amazing Spider-Man book with Joe Kelly after Zeb Wells wraps up, but I'm hoping she does nothing but improve.

I was really hoping for a lot more here. I decided to pick this up since I wanted to read something Iceman/Bobby Drake. While I think I'll end up seeing the miniseries through since it's only five issues, there isn't a lot here to get me interested. I like Romeo bringing Bobby back and the tension they now have, but I thought it was super weird that Bobby kissed some random guy he saved from Orchis. If Bobby and Romeo have an open relationship, then it makes sense. However, that isn't outright stated here or even hinted at to my knowledge. The overall plot of this isn't enough to fully sell me on this either. I don't know, it just felt like it was missing that something to kick it into the next gear. I will say that I thought Carratù's art was pretty good and it might have been the best part of this book.

Not terrible by any means, but a bit disappointing considering this has been an almost 70-issue run. This is a mixed bag of good moments and bad moments. A lot of this felt a bit rushed, even Robbie's "death." The last few pages felt like everyone's stories being "wrapped up" (until we get MacKay's new run), but it just didn't feel as satisfying as it had the potential to be. However, I'm very glad Robbie isn't truly dead and I really hope we can get more of him in a book very soon, as he's been one of my favorite characters in Aaron's Avengers.

This series has been very hit-or-miss for me so far. This latest crossover storyline with the main Avengers title has been kind of "whatever." I enjoyed the letter from one of the Steve's this issue, but there hasn't been enough build for that character to really make me care. Yes, I feel for him and his situation, but, to my knowledge, this is the first issue we've really met him. The same goes for the other Steve and his moment with the Mjolnir. On the other hand, the action in this book was solid and I enjoyed seeing the characters trying to take down the literal Planet Doom. Aaron's Avengers run is something I've really enjoyed since the start, so I hope he can bring everything together into a good conclusion.

Man, I don't know. For the most part, I've really enjoyed Zdarsky's work on this title. However, for whatever reason, this just didn't work for me all that well. I don't think it's a bad book, but it's not my favorite either. Aside from the odd placement of this storyline, I also found it, personally, a little hard to follow at times. Camuncoli had some pretty solid art, though. I liked looking at the pages Sorrentino did, but I also don't particularly understand their purpose. All things considered, this was definitely the weakest issue of Zdarsky's run thus far and I really hope this is just a minor bump in the road.

I was a fan of this event, but this didn't hit as well as everything that came before it. While the follow-up on certain aspects of Fear State is appreciated, this did feel kind of unnecessary. Tynion writes a solid conversation between Bruce and Jonathan, but I just feel like we didn't need this. I feel like a few pages could have been added to Batman 117 to include the stuff with Miracle Molly, Amanda Waller, Peacekeeper-01, Poison Ivy, and Clownhunter. It also doesn't help that there were five different artists here. I actually did some math and figured out that it averaged out to 6 pages per artist. However, the artist who got the bulk of the 30 pages was Federici, who did 16. Duce & Hairsine did 4, while Benjamin and March did 3. I think they either should have had one artist do the stuff with Bruce and Jonathan, while another does the other scenes, or they should have just had one artist throughout. Nonetheless, this set up some fairly interesting ideas for the future, but didn't add to the Fear State event as a whole all that much.

I wish I was more into this, like everyone else seems to be. For whatever reason, it was a bit difficult for me to get invested in what was happening here. Maybe it was because I was a bit tired while reading this, I don't know. If anything, Karami's art was the best part of this, as I thought it was pretty good throughout.

An improvement over the last issue, but I'm still not incredibly into this. The first story of the bunch was solid, though I do feel like more could have been done there. I understand that there isn't a lot of room in one book for three different stories, but I also think I was left unfulfilled, if that makes sense. As for the second story, I don't really know what to think about it, honestly. I mean, I thought it was kind of a weird story, in a good and cool way. Simultaneously, though, it felt like it didn't neatly fit in with Blood Hunt. Lastly, the third part of the continuing story from Schultz just didn't really do much for me. Hopefully that side of things can close out strongly with the next issue.

Out of the two ongoing stories here, the one I'm mainly interested in is Selina's. I like Eiko and Dario, but what they're doing in this issue wasn't that interesting to me. However, Selina teaching the women in prison was the main thing I enjoyed here. There wasn't much special here, but there was enough to keep me interested and keep me reading. Hopefully Eiko & Dario's story picks up within the next few issues, and I'm intrigued to see what comes next for Selina and the women she's training.

While this was a bit of a rushed ending to this prison storyline, I'm not really mad about it since I wasn't really feeling it all that much in the first place. It was enjoyable, but not up to the standards set by Howard's first arc on this title. It feels like a prison break should have been a bigger deal, but we don't really see it here until we get like a couple pages towards the end of the issue. Also, I'm not really sure why Selina trusts anyone there enough to reveal she's Catwoman, but whatever. The stuff with Eiko and Dario was minimal this time, but I think that's for the best. I just hope that, with the prison storyline out of the way, we can get back to the quality this series was at when Howard initially took over.

While this still isn't my favorite issue of the run or anything, I also don't hate it like others seem to. I think the premise is very interesting, but it just needs better execution. I know Howard is a fully capable writer, but this just isn't hitting like the series has in the past. Hopefully things pick up in the next issue.

I liked this more than the second issue, but I'm still not all that invested in this. I did find the art better this time around and I also thought the story was a bit more coherent. However, it's still just not coming together in an incredibly effective way, in my opinion.

A fairly solid debut issue here, but this also, unfortunately, didn't do a whole lot to get me excited for the remaining two issues. I don't think there's really much for me to about this sone. This wasn't bad or anything and I'll be checking out the rest of the miniseries since it's part of Gang War, but I just hope things get more interesting with Issue #2.

This wasn't really a bad miniseries or anything, but I just had trouble getting interested in what was going on. That could be attributed to the fact that I haven't really kept up with Shang-Chi at all recently, but I just didn't find this was compelling as I think it could have been.

This wasn’t bad by any means, but just wasn’t quite as good as the previous two issues, in my opinion. There wasn’t anything particularly bad here at all, it just felt a little bit like a step below the past two issues. Nonetheless, I’m still interested to see what comes next. Barry trying to turn back time to stop the invasion and bring Wally back is an interesting turn, as I thought Wally wasn’t actually dead. Thunderheart is a pretty cool name for Irey, but the cover had me thinking she was getting a new suit this issue (Maybe in the next few issues?). As for the ending, I don’t, personally, care that much for Jay Garrick, so it didn’t resonate with me much. All in all, Flash comes out with a solid issue once again and I’m intrigued to see how the current storyline continues.

This was a solid collection of supplemental stories. The first and third stories were good, the second was kind of average for me, and the fourth was solid. I appreciated the first story giving a bit of context for the villain of the main story, and it increased my interested a bit. The second story just didn't have anything notable for me, personally. The third was fun, particularly with the commentary from the aliens/robots as they looked through the building, along with Godspeed taking them out. As the for the final story, most of it was very average, but the final few pages brought it up a little bit for me. I don't know much about the two characters, but the chemistry wasn't bad and I wouldn't mind reading a little more on them. Overall, this was certainly a skippable issue, but not one I would recommend against reading if someone wanted the full picture of this story.

I knew Spurrier's direction for Wally was going to be different than what we were getting before with Jeremy Adams, but I have to say I'm a bit disappointed with this one. I like a good amount of the concepts and ideas brought to the table here, but it felt like we were jumping around a lot in this issue, which could possibly be from Spurrier trying to establish a bunch of things for this run at once. Flash is, of course, a speedster, but I think things needed to be slowed down here a bit for this to work better. The content we got in this issue could have been spread out across at least two issues. As for the art, I thought it was pretty solid. It works better in some places than others, but it was good overall. All things considered, while I wasn't the biggest fan of this issue, I do think it has potential to become better and I was, if anything, fairly interesting. I'll keep reading for now and hope it does nothing but improve.

I don't really know what happened after the last issue was my favorite so far. This was just weird and, kind of, confusing. The stuff with Linda is interesting, but the execution of it all leaves a bit to be desired, in my opinion.

This one started off pretty weird with Barry and Lina. I see how Linda's disconnections could be interesting, but I feel that Spurrier still isn't executing it in the best way. This issue only really picked up for me when the Speed Force situation was being explained to Max and Bart. It also doesn't help that I wasn't super into Pérez's art, especially with how contrasting it is to Mike Deodato Jr.'s.

Another issue where things picked up a bit for me towards the end. I think the idea of speedsters being harmful purely by using their abilities can be a super interesting idea, but Spurrier's execution of this series just hasn't been that great, in my opinion. It feels like the story meanders around with odd interactions before getting to the point and actually having progression towards the end.

More interesting things with odd execution here, in my opinion. I'm also not the biggest fan of Pérez's art here either, unfortunately. I'm really missing Mike Deodato Jr.'s art, as I did feel like it fit with the series much better.

This was a lot like the rest of the series, in that there was a good chunk of interesting ideas with potential that end up having execution that leaves something to be desired. I'm also almost never super into the art changing in the middle of an issue, but I do think this did a solid job with it.

Yeah, I just wasn't super into this one, unfortunately. This felt like it was created just for the sake of doing a Ghost Rider one-shot that was kind of Halloween-themed. It's advertised to lay the foundation for the future of Ghost Rider, and the ending suggests that The Hood is going to play a fairly large role in said future. I appreciate Hood getting some use, but I also didn't find him all that interesting here. Hopefully that changes in his future appearances.

I absolutely love the cover for this issue, but what we got inside was a big of a disappointment. This series was continuously picking up steam for me, but it really came crashing down here. This isn't even a bad issue, but it's not great, especially compared to the rest of the series thus far. It doesn't help that I'm not a big fan of art randomly changing in the middle of an issue. Segovia's art is noticeably better than Duce's here, in my opinion, although neither give us bad art. The writing is my main gripe with this issue. On paper, this should be a good issue. However, as Psycamorean stated in his review, there isn't much reason for me to care about what's happening here. With everything here in mind, I really hope this is just a bump in the road for this series and not a sign of things to come.

I feel very similarly about this issue to how I felt with the previous. We get a killer cover from Gerardo Zaffino and a "fine" read inside. I thought this was a little more interesting than Issue 3, but it's not enough for me to bump my rating to a 7/10. I just hope that, with Fear State wrapping up, this title can get a little more focused and get back on track to the potential it was showing and capitalizing on with Issues #0-2.

The main story this time around was far better than the first issue. Now that we had gotten to the point, Howard was able to tell a much more interesting story about Harley's place in the world and her being reminded to just be herself. The art still wasn't the best, but it was fine and it didn't really bother me all that much. As for the backup, it was a little bit of an improvement over the last one, but not my much. My biggest gripe with it in Issue 1 was Ben Templesmith's art. While I feel as though Holden's art is either trying to be similar to that style or it just is similar to it, it's not as bad (I've never seen Holden's art at the time of this writing, so I'm not sure of which option is falls under). I still wasn't entirely certain of what was going on in this story, but it wasn't as confusing as the first one. Overall, this issue as a whole was a significant improvement over Issue 1, but I think it could have been a lot better.

This was...interesting. I initially got into this book because David Nakayama was doing the covers and I thought the team looked super cool. However, I was a bit disappointed by what we got inside. The story itself is certainly intriguing and I thought Zagaria had some solid art, but the writing of the dialogue from Sacks wasn't my favorite. This is only five issues, so it's not a big commitment, or anything, but it's a little disheartening at the same time with the potential I think this lineup has.

I was originally going to give this a 6/10, but I'll give it an extra 0.5 point just because Sacks did a solid job of writing Doom. It wasn't the absolute best, but it was far from bad. Aside from that, this was just fine. I am still interested in the story itself, but I'm starting to dislike the way Sacks writes the dialogue for the characters. Maybe not dislike necessarily, but it's not great.

Not bad whatsoever, but not as good as the debut issue, in my opinion. I don't know, this one just didn't grip me like the previous one. Hopefully the next issue gets things back on track. Also, in reference to my review of the previous issue, it seems as though this is going to be an episodic series, maybe with a slight overarching plot.

I think, despite my low amount of interest in the team itself, that this series has a lot of potential. However, it's just not realized fully here, at least not yet. I didn't hate this whatsoever, but I didn't really love it either. I like what I've read so far from Kelly & Lanzing, so I'll stay on board for a bit and hope that things pick up sooner rather than later.

I'll start this review by saying the primary reason I'm reading this series is because it'll end up tying-in with Howard's Catwoman series, which we saw hints of here towards the end. As for the issue itself, I thought it was solid. This could be partially attributed to the fact that I'm not that into Punchline as a character to start with, but I wasn't as into this as I would have hoped, considering that I've enjoyed the aforementioned Catwoman run. I think the story here has potential and, while it does intrigue me, I think this just needs more compelling characters. Either way, I'll still read all six issues since it has to do with Howard's Catwoman.

I enjoyed this more than Issue 2, but it's still not great, in my opinion. I think Punchline was actually a character I could start to get behind here, but I need a little more to be fully sold on her. As for the rest of the book, it was fine. It wasn't anything special, but it wasn't a bad book either.

This just wasn't as interesting or entertaining as the first issue, unfortunately. Niculo's art continues to be the strongest part of this book for me, but the writing was just a little lacking this time around. The story itself is fairly interesting, but I'm not a fan of the current slang used in the book. Don't get me wrong, I'm a relatively young person and I know there are many people who say these things, but it's felt a bit forced in the last issue and in this one as well.

This book has gotten a little more confusing for me, personally. The whole time-jump thing with Thor's sister isn't my favorite, and Doom's story with Hela didn't give me much to get excited about. Speaking of Doom, I really wished Marvel hadn't advertised this the way they did with the cover and the description, because Doom and Thor don't even come face-to-face in this book. I really hope things pick up with the next issue.

Man, this just didn't do it for me. It wasn't bad, don't get me wrong, but it's just really unfortunate how this series ended. Grønbekk's run on this title started nicely and then declined, but started to go back up in quality for me until this issue. This felt a little disconnected from the previous few issues. It comes across like it's supposed to be the conclusion of this big story, but nothing here made it actually feel that way. I don't put too much blame on Grønbekk, however. She was given a tough task of having to suddenly write and finish this series after Donny Cates's personal issues (which I don't fault him for whatsoever), and she did what she could. Hopefully Immortal Thor brings the character back to having a great quality series. Despite me not caring too much for the return of a more classic costume, I'm still giving it a shot. I've liked what I've read from Al Ewing so far and I've heard nothing but great things about his Immortal Hulk.

I gave the first issue the benefit of the doubt when it came to its dialogue, but it was just not working for me all that much here. It's not even that bad, but it can feel very generic at times, if that makes sense. The art continues to be solid, but it's also not quite as good as it was in Issue 1. Hopefully things can pick up in Issue 3.

This was a step-up from the previous two issues, but it's still not a great book. I enjoyed Raven and Connor going through different memories and I liked that there wasn't as much banter between the team members here. However, the story does feel kind of average and the art is just solid, but nothing spectacular. I just hope this team can continue to turn things around as we head into the final two issues of this miniseries.

I liked this a bit better than the first two issues, but it's still not great, unfortunately. Aside from me just, personally, liking this more than Issues 1 & 2, I still feel generally the same about this, so you can read my reviews on those issues to see how I feel. For whatever reason, this just worked a little better for me this time around.

I continue to feel the same way as I do with the first half of this miniseries. The dialogue is fine, the art is solid, and the alternate universe/timeline is interesting. There are some intriguing ideas here, but I don't think they're fully capitalized on in order to make a great story.

I wish I had something new to say about this miniseries with the penultimate issue, but I really don't. You can read my reviews of the previous four issues to know how I feel about this series. I hope that this can somewhat realize the potential it's had all along to be a better story, but I'm pretty sure I'll be rating the next and final issue around the same as this and the ones that came before it.

Wow, that was certainly something. I tried to like it more than I did, honestly. However, the Amazo robot constantly quoting Charles Dickens for no apparent reason was just super weird, and it was especially so considering that none of the other characters really responded to what they were saying half the time. Daniel was a fine fill-in artist, but Sampere might have made this a little better for me. Aside from that, the backup story was fun, as per usual. I've really liked Ortega's art each time.

I think I may have liked this more had Noto not done the art. I know that sounds crazy without context, but Kalaoui really nailed it in their review. Noto's art works fantastically for stories that more less action-heavy and more character-driven. While we did get some nice character moments for Synch and Talon, there was a good chunk of this that was heroes fighting Nimrod. One example of Noto's art not fitting is when Nimrod is hit by the truck. It just looks a little off in his style. Either way, the story from Duggan was solid, but nothing spectacular.

I agree with what two other users stated in their, respective, reviews, in that this is probably an issue you can skip. Listen, this was a fairly enjoyable book and everything, but nothing really felt that important here. Yes, we see more Apocalypse for the first time since he left to Amenth at the end of X of Swords back in 2020, but it doesn't really feel like his appearance here mattered that much. One other thing about this issue was the fact that I almost forgot three different artists worked on this. It wasn't until one of the pages towards the end that I noticed two drawings of Apocalypse looked different. I'm not really a fan of artists changing in the middle of an issue, and this was no different. I can understand it when it changes depending on the location or time period, but this was straight-up out of nowhere in this issue. It doesn't help that this book alternates between time periods already, so the opportunity as there.

This was fine. It wasn't particularly bad by any means, but this just didn't really have a whole lot for me to latch onto. I appreciated the fact that this leaned into Jubilee's past as a vampire and that this dealt with her empathy for the vampires she's forced to fight, but, at the same time, something just felt off. Maybe it felt surface level? I don't know if I'm using that term correctly, but that's how I can describe how I felt about it currently.

This was fine for what it was. The art was solid, and I actually think Hervas could be a better fill-in artist for Phillip Kennedy Johnson's current Incredible Hulk run than Danny Earls. As for Allen, this is the first time I've read something from her and I think she has potential. Hopefully she does nothing but improve going forward.

Not really my favorite, unfortunately. It's a shame that a good chunk of the FoHoX comics have been a relatively weak, in my opinion, considering this whole era started so strong. Either way, for me, this is another case of a lot being crammed into one issue. I don't really have much more to say on that. I just hope the ending of all this ends up being good.

I might have scored this a little bit higher if the art was better. Diaz's art definitely feels very 90's here, which is in line with the logo. However, I was surprised to find that this was so tied in with Krakoa. I'm not upset about that, I'm just a little caught off-guard. Anyways, yeah, Diaz's art was just a bit rough in certain spots. Other than that, Foxe's story was solid. This issue was just so introductory, which I understand it's supposed to be. There just wasn't as much for me to latch onto and get excited about as I would have liked. That said, I am fairly interested to see how this plays out and what the endgame of this all is, especially with it starting after the Krakoa Era ends, but wrapping up by the time From the Ashes has started.

Fine for what it was, but I thought it was super weird that this just cut to Steve Trevor before the fight with the Amazon robot was done. I understand that it's implied that Billy, Mary, and Black Adam were all captured, but I just felt that it could have been executed better. I don't know.

A solid first issue to the arc that many have been waiting for, myself included. I've seen the upcoming villain in covers that have been released, but I thought he was a new character. As another user said in their review, I had to look Rabin up to find out who he was. However, I'm not going to let that change my score. This issue had just enough for me to want to find out more, and it helps that I've been wondering what "Peter did" since that whole aspect was first brought up in a promo for the first issue of the series. While this was still a good issue, I'm hoping things pick up a little bit in #22.

I'll start this off by saying that this isn't nearly as bad as some people will have you believe. While I would say this story has been a bit disappointing after initially introducing the question of what Peter did about a year ago at this point. That's not to say this is bad, though, because it's not, in my opinion. Yes, this isn't the best book by any means. However, the stuff in the beginning with Peter and the Fantastic Four was done well. One of this story's strengths has been capturing Peter's desperation to get back to Mary Jane. The ending also gives a solid explanation of how Mary Jane's children came about, also. All in all, solid stuff.

The ongoing story here is good and entertaining, but I can't help but agree with the criticisms about this issue surrounding Kamala's death in Issue 26. In Issue 27, we really felt the fallout of her death and how it was impacting Peter. In the last issue and in this one, her death is completely ignored and Peter is back to normal. We don't see that more aggressive and frustrated side of him we saw two issues ago. I was reading through Afre's review and, while I do rate this higher than them, they bring up a lot of points that I agree with. Read their review for said points, as I won't bring them up directly here. Aside from all of that, I do actually enjoy the story here with Norman and Otto. I'm looking forward to seeing how this progresses, especially with new Superior Spider-Man content announced for sometime in the near future.

I'll start this review by saying that, much like a few other people I've seen reviews from, the placement of this feels kind of odd. This is supposed to follow up on events from Dark Web, which we haven't really gotten much on since the initial storyline ended with Issue #18 (AKA late-January of this year). With that in mind, I don't necessarily have a big problem with it. I just think it's a bit weird. Moving on, while not the best issue this series has seen, it's still a fun, solid read. I don't love the character, but I think I enjoy Rek-Rap more than most. I also am interested by the Repossesor's role in this story, especially after realizing who he actually is (The debt collector, Gus, first seen in the opening arc of this series). Plus, while I'll always miss Patrick Gleason doing interiors, I enjoy McGuinness' art here and I completely agree with what Derby stated in their review, in that his art is a great fit for this story.

I thought this was a pretty solid issue with some not great art. The story from Wells remains fairly interesting, though I also feel it's not at the heights it was when this storyline first started. As for Romita Jr.'s art, I just really wasn't feeling it this time around. I haven't been the biggest fan of this art in this run in general, but this was especially not good in certain spots for me, with one particular example being when Spider-Man and She-Hulk go off the top of the building. I think I may have rated this a 7.5/10 had it not been for the art we got here.

Gang War is still not as good as I was hoping for, but this isn't a bad issue or anything. Romita's art is very hit-or-miss again here. I do think I'm one of the few who doesn't think Beetle's current costume isn't ugly, but I also wish it was better. As for Wells's writing, though, I do think it's good overall. I just wish I was a little more invested in what's going on.

Man, I was just talking about how much I was enjoying this book again with the last issue. Don't get me wrong here, this wasn't a bad issue by any means, but it's also definitely a step down from #45, in my opinion. I liked the stuff with Sandman and I'm interested to see where that goes, but I also get the feeling that it's a storyline that won't get revisited for like ten more issues or something. We already have the Chasm & Hallows' Eve two-issue arc after this, followed by a Blood Hunt tie-in issue (for some reason), and then the Green Goblin story starting with #50. Hopefully all of that stuff is good, but I just wish this title would stop introducing things that won't get any follow-up or even be mentioned for a while.

A solid issue for the midway point of this miniseries. Yes, it's a bit of a step down from the previous issue, but I still enjoyed it more than Issue 1. Some of the dialogue felt a little generic, something I mentioned in my review of Issue 2, but the story itself was entertaining enough and it was far from bad or anything. Hopefully Spider-Man showing up in the next issue helps to bring up the quality of this run.

Solid stuff from Aaron and Garrón here. As a reader of this series from the beginning, I can only hope for a grand conclusion. While I haven't been the biggest fan of this storyline, I do appreciate the setup in the final pages. As a fan of the majority of this series, I hope the final bits of this current arc can deliver.

I wanted to like this more than I did. However, the art is the main thing holding this back for me. In my eyes, the art is pretty inconsistent. We do not need multiple artists on one issue and this is a prime example of that. The stuff with Nightwing looks fan-made to me and not in a good way. It’s not the worst art I’ve ever seen or anything, but it’s not something I want to look at when reading a professional DC comic. The best art comes from my favorite section of the book, in which Dick talks about Bruce’s history with Ghost-Maker. Everything else felt solid-to-poor. I think the main takeaway from this is that you only need one artist on an issue at a time.

I think this was a step-up from the previous issue, but there's still a lot to be desired here, unfortunately. I still don't really get why we're getting this story at this point in the series instead of it just being a separate limited series or something. However, the story itself also is still a bit confusing and I'm not sure how I feel about Sorrentino's art suddenly becoming hyperrealistic in certain places and not others. It's great art, don't get me wrong, but it's just a bit strange to me.

I'm probably giving this a higher score than I should, given that this whole storyline was just odd any way you slice it, but there were certain moments here I enjoyed. Firstly, I liked that Jim had a lot of time to shine here. Secondly, I actually liked the ending of this. Yes, it doesn't really give us any explanation as to what the point of all this was and it doesn't even really feel like the ending to a story in general, but I still, personally, thought it was a cool moment. Hopefully this series can get back on track with the next arc's return to the present.

A bit of a harsh decline in quality following how good I thought the last issue was. This was fun for what it was, but it also wasn't anything spectacular. I wasn't super into the backup story, either. I wouldn't call it bad, but I was definitely hoping to be done with it as soon as I could so I could continue reading through the event.

I don't think this is as bad as some people have been making it out to be. Gotham War hasn't been the greatest event thus far, but it's not absolute garbage. Sure, this may not have necessarily been a must-read or anything, but this is a solid read for Red Hood fans and even for those reading the current Joker series that Rosenberg's been writing (which is another series that falls even more under "not as bad as some people make it out to be). Either way, while not the strongest issue of the Gotham War crossover, I still thought this was an enjoyable issue.

I don't know what happened here. I was really enjoying the main story with Ghost-Maker, Clownhunter, and Phantom-One, but this just didn't hit for me like the previous four issues. Not to say I didn't enjoy it, because I did, but it was just a bit of a step down for me. It doesn't help that I have a smaller amount of investment for a lot of the side characters in this book, which I'm not quite sure is the fault of Ed Brisson or the fault of DC for trying to pack all of these characters into one book and make them all focused on at once.

While I do believe this is slightly more focused than the previous arc, I'm not as interested in this storyline with Professor Pyg than I was with the Phantom-One and his team. However, there were some bright spots, including the pages with Ghost-Maker and El Gaucho. Hopefully this picks up as things progress, because I still feel that his book as great potential.

I felt as that, for the conclusion of an 8-issue arc, this could have been a lot better. Especially considering how good the first few issues of it were. However, this was probably the worst issue of the series, unfortunately. Unlike certain other readers, I didn't think this was a bad book. Though, I felt like Ridley just dropped the ball a bit here. I think he set up a super intriguing story dealing with power, trust, and politics, only for it to lead to a generic battle with a bit of an underwhelming ending, in my opinion.

Yeah, I liked how Captain America was written here even less than the last two issues. I think I can see what Ridley is trying to do, but I just don't think it works with Steve's character, personally. It's a shame, as I started out really enjoying this series. This is a solid book and story overall, but Ridley just leaves a bit to be desired.

This story has not been the most interesting to me, unfortunately. However, this issue wasn't bad. T'Challa was the main reason this book had my interest, as the other characters didn't really do much for me (aside from Namor, but his most enjoyable moment for me was him laughing his ass off when T'Challa was being told he's no longer a citizen). Overall, I hope Ridley puts out something just a bit better for the next issue, as it will be the last one until the new run.

A solid ending for this series. A lot of the ideas established here are certainly interesting when it comes to seeing how they'll play out in Eve L. Ewing's upcoming run, but there was just more to be desired here and from this run as a whole. A lot of this run had intriguing ideas without the best execution. Nonetheless, this issue gives Ridley's 15-issue run a solid finale.

I've never read anything by Eaton before, so I was interested to see how this ended up. After reading, I can say that Eaton really has potential, but I don't think she's really defined her writing style, in terms of comics, quite yet. This doesn't feel particularly unique when it comes to the dialogue, which can feel a little overwritten at points, actually. Despite that, this is still a solid read. I liked a good amount of what we got here, especially the art. The first time I remember seeing Karami's work was in Issue 5 of Saladin Ahmed's current Daredevil run, and I absolutely loved it. I'm glad to see his art was really good here, as well, and it's great to hear he'll be doing the other two issues of this. Overall, this was a solid book that definitely has the potential to become better as it continues.

A really quick issue and I don't think it worked as well here as I would have liked. It felt like certain moments should have gone on for longer, such as the scene with Draven and Rotha. I felt like I didn't have enough time to really digest that. I just wish this had a little more substance to it, especially with it being the final issue before Hill does the Midnight Sons tie-in series for Blood Hunt. I wonder if that's the new Blade series referenced in the back of the book, or if Marvel is doing another Blade series once said Midnight Sons book is wrapped up.

I'm not super into anthologies, but I thought I'd give this a chance since I'm going to be reading everything else for Blood Hunt. Russell & Quinn's story with Hawkeye was fun, but nothing all that special. Quinn's art was super clean throughout, but I felt like Russell's story was lacking something. It was good overall, though. Cage & Garrón's story was my favorite of the three. It wasn't incredible or anything, but it had good action while also developing the relationship between Man-Wolf and Jonah as much as it could in the amount of pages it had. Finally, we have Schultz & Chang. Unfortunately, this was the one I liked the least of the bunch. I, personally, just found it a little more difficult to get invested in it. Dagger's inner-monologue on the first couple of pages also wasn't my favorite. It looks like this team will be returning in the next issue, so I hope things pick up a little bit there. Overall, this was a solid read that had some bright spots and some more "eh" spots, but nothing bad or anything.

I thought this was a fairly solid debut issue for this series all in all, but I do have certain gripes with it. Firstly, this was sort of an issue I had with the Graduation Day miniseries before this, but some of the dialogue here wasn't the best. I think part of it can be attributed to Trujillo wanting to introduce or re-introduce the characters that will be featured in the series going forward. However, there was some stuff I really liked, such as Jaime having to deal with the growing conflicts between humans and The Horizon or how the issue ended with Ted. All things considered, while I did feel like this was kind of a mixed bag for an issue that's primarily set-up, I do feel mostly positive on this one and I think the potential is there for this series to be good.

A bit of a step down in quality from the previous issue, but this still maintains my interest. A lot of the dialogue is somewhat generic, to me, especially from Jaime. Dynastes has some intrigue to her, but I think a little bit more could have been done to build that mystery here. Nonetheless, this was still an enjoyable read.

I wasn't sure what to expect from Grønbekk on Carnage. I don't particularly care for Carnage as a character, though the issues I've read (at the time of this writing) of his previous series were good. As for Grønbekk, she writes solid books, though I haven't been incredibly into her issues on the current Venom series with Al Ewing. What we get here is pretty much in line with everything else I've read form her, in that it's a solid story with potential to be more. Hopefully we see that potential realized as the story progresses.

A solid issue, but nothing spectacular. I don't really have all that much to say about this one. Everything inside was good and I thought the fight between Carnage and Anti-Venom was neat, but I wish I was a little more invested in this.

I think I would have liked this a lot more if it was on its own and not a part of the Symbiosis Necrosis crossover. I feel as though this started out continuing that storyline, but it ended up going in a different direction. I didn't dislike it on its own, but I was left a little confused as to how this was the end of a four-part story. The art was pretty good all throughout this, also.

I don't know, I just wasn't feeling this one as much as the past issues. I've been really enjoying Howard's Catwoman thus far, and this isn't to say this was really all that bad by any means, but this was the weakest issue so far. A lot of the prison stuff Selina goes through, while still fairly enjoyable, feels generic. While I did enjoy this for what it was, I hope we can get back to what made this book more entertaining sooner rather than later.

A bit of a step up from the previous issue. I’m still interested in Selina’s prison storyline the most out of the two ongoing stories, but Eiko & Dario’s was just a bit more interesting this go around (especially with Onyx getting involved). The interaction between all three over the phone was done well, and I’m hoping Eiko & Dario’s story continues to get better as times goes on. As for Selina, I enjoy seeing the relationship between her and the other prisoners develop and I’m interested to see what comes next with Regina now joining them.

I'm not a huge fan of everything here, but I am interested to see where the series goes from here in terms of the story with Federico and Roman. When Howard initially took over this title, I was really enjoying the story she was telling with Selina and the different crime families. I'm really hoping that this is the start of this series getting back to the quality of that initial storyline.

Here we are again with a bunch of people over-hating on Tini Howard for whatever reason. That's all I'll say about that. As for the issue itself, I must say that I felt as though it was the weakest issue of the Gotham War crossover so far. I might have given this a 6.5 initially, but I really enjoyed how Howard wrote Nightwing and I also liked the twist at the end of the issue. Hopefully this is just a minor bump in the road for Gotham War, as I've enjoyed it as a whole thus far.

We're back down a bit in terms of overall quality, unfortunately. I still don't hate this others like others seem to, but it's not my favorite book out there. I did like the idea of Catwoman joining a Suicide Squad mission and I think it was fun enough here, but I also think this issue left a bit to be desired.

A more fun issue for the current storyline here. I'm not against standalone stories whatsoever, but I'm glad we're finally getting something to connect these last few issues aside from Selena recently getting more lives for herself. I just hope it ends up being good. Nine Lives struggled to maintain my interest in the beginning, but these last three issues have been better. I know I've said it multiple times, but I really wish this series was back up to the quality seen in its initial storyline.

I wasn't as into this as the first issue, but it wasn't bad or anything. I don't really have much to say about this one. I'm starting to lose some interest in Gang War, which is a shame. I really liked the idea of it going in and even the First Strike one-shot was pretty good.

I liked this, but I also didn't really understand why we needed it. I understand that Elektra and Bellona didn't have their one-on-one fight, but I just wasn't as interested in this as I think I could have been had this been executed a bit better. Either way, I thought this was solid for what it was.

After the, somewhat, mixed bag that was the rest of Dark Web, things end leaving more to be desired for me. This was a fairly entertaining issue, but I just feel like more could have been done with this storyline.

This was a little all over the place, but still enjoyable. I'm not sure why we needed this book, especially as a Dark Web tie-in, though. Ben Reilly sending Kamala to Limbo was, seemingly, the main reason we were getting this mini, and she barely spent any time there here and didn't spend any in the previous issue (aside from the final page). What's more is that her interaction with the demons in Limbo was probably my favorite part of this book. All things considered, this was a fairly entertaining two-issue story that I, personally, don't think was needed and/or could have been executed better to fit more in with Dark Web.

This picked up a bit in the second half, but I wasn't into the first half all that much. I feel similar to Derby after reading their review, in that I'm not entirely sure what exactly brought this team together in the first place. Either way, this was still solid overall. As I stated already, I liked this more in the second half of the book. So, hopefully the next issue is the beginning of an upwards trajectory for the quality of this miniseries.

From what I've read thus far, it feels like a good chunk of the miniseries from Fall of X have a lot of potential that's not fully capitalized on. This was solid and not bad by any means, but I just wish I was getting more from a book featuring Madelyne Pryor, Havok, Gambit, and Archangel. I even like the relatively new character, Feint. I just wish everything here came together nicer.

Not my favorite debut in the current "FoHoX" phase of X-books, though it wasn't bad. I don't think we needed three different artists here, especially with no big scene changes to warrant it. Either way, Foxe wrote a fairly interesting story, though I just wish the execution was a bit better. Re-reading the solicitation for this and realizing that this comes out of Rise of the Powers of X does make it make a bit more sense for me, though.

I thought this was a set-up from the previous issue. For whatever reason, I just found this a little more interesting this time around. Majado's art is solid, but it could use some improvement. However, it's my understanding that he's fairly new to comics, so I'm not going to be super critical. I sense potential for him to get better, as his art is far from bad here. As for Pak's story, it was fairly intriguing and I am interested to see how it concludes with the next issue.

This was definitely my least favorite issue of the series, unfortunately. It's not even bad or anything, I just found the pacing a bit odd at times. There are certain moments I liked, though, such as Jubilee raining down blasts after Shogo was shot. Hopefully this is a minor bump in the road, as I've been enjoying this series so far.

I didn't dislike this or anything, but good lord did it feel rushed. I felt like the story was constantly moving forward without room to digest what's actually going on here. Even Werneck's art wasn't as good as usual, unfortunately. I'm really hoping this is just a minor bump in the road and not the beginning of a downwards direction in quality.

This is still a bit disappointing, in my opinion, but I also don't think it's a bad comic either. It doesn't really help that Werneck only does some of the art here as opposed to doing all of it like in the last two issues. Hopefully this series, and the Krakoan era as a whole, can have a strong landing.

A pretty solid one-off here. I can't lie when I say that I wasn't the biggest fan of Zucker's art at times. I just felt as though some of the faces looked a bit off. Otherwise, Booher's story was super solid and not where I expected things to go. If it wasn't for the art, I would have rated this higher, honestly.

While Bustos's art wasn't my favorite, especially when we have Terry Dodson doing the cover, I thought Starer presented a nice and more grounded story for these two. I will admit that this is my first time reading a book led by Fire and Ice, so I didn't really have any prior standards and/or expectations going into this. However, I enjoyed this for what it was and I'm interested enough to read more. I think this has the potential to be a fun miniseries that I hope gets a bit better as time goes on.

This story continues to stay solid. There was nothing extraordinary here, but enough to keep me interested. I will say, however, I am very glad to have Wally West back. Also, referring to my review 794, I totally don’t remember Irey getting her new suit at all, so maybe I just missed it somewhere. Speaking of Irey, I really only have this one as a half-point higher due to Wally’s return and the interaction regarding Barry being unsure if they’d be able to get him back. With the finale to this story coming up in the next issue, I really hope everything can come together and deliver on a good ending that I know Adams is capable of.

Glad to say that I liked this one more. While this does still feel a little all over the place at times, I felt as though it gelled better this time around. I particularly enjoyed the concept of Wally "stepping out of time" as the world continues moving, and I'm looking forward to seeing how that develops going forward. I hope the upward trajectory of this series continues.

Another issue that was certainly interesting. Deodato is putting out some really solid art in this series. As for Spurrier, I appreciate the complex and scientific story he's telling here, though I just wish it was a little more compelling. However, I do feel as though he's made improvements since the first issue.

I liked this issue better than most recently, though it definitely still has its strangeness. Georgiev's art is really nice, though, and I'd really like him to fully take over the art duties going forward. However, for the time being, it seems as though it'll still be Pérez, with Georgiev occasionally helping out.

Still a lot of weirdness going on, but I do feel that this was a little more clearer as to what's going on. The art here still wasn't my favorite, though I thought it was better in the more abstract panels focusing on Wally. I just really hope this title gets better soon, as I love Wally and I do think Spurrier is a good writer.

Really starting to lose interest in this one, unfortunately. Also, I don't really understand why Marvel decided to relaunch this as a new series to tell this story. I feel like this and the previous issue could have just been Issues 22 & 23 of Percy's previous Ghost Rider run. Either way, I hope this story picks up sooner rather than later.

Not a bad read or anything, but I'm still not as into this as I'd like to be. Kim's art is really helping this book's score out, in my opinion. I did like that we got more of Johnny here, though. Again, I'm hoping things pick up a bit soon.

This felt a lot like the last issue, in that it was a lot of Parker trying to take over Chicago, with a few pages of Johnny and Zeb sprinkled in, just for the issue to end with a tease of Johnny coming after him. Maybe I'm misremembering something on that front, but that's what I observed. Either way, this is a solid book. I just wish I was a little more interested in Parker's character.

I little underwhelming, in my opinion, but still a solid book overall. Kim's art was a little rough in certain spots, but I didn't think it was downright terrible or anything. As for the story, there were some bright spots, but it just didn't hit that much for me, I don't know. I'm hoping the new Spirits of Vengeance miniseries from Sabir Pirzada is good.

A solid issue that advances the story. The prison break, of sorts, at the beginning was cool, but my favorite part of this issue has to be Adira's confrontation with the reapers (Plus when she kills one of them). Other than that, Jessica's section of the story wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either for me, personally. I've been enjoying the direction of the last two issues, so I hope things pick up a bit with Issue 9.

This was a fairly entertaining issue that advances the main storyline a bit, but the backup was, for whatever reason, just an absolute chore for me to read. The backup's art was the best thing it had going for it, but the story, perhaps, was just a little too crazy for me. Moving back to the main story, Zatanna was fun to have for a little bit. After the previous issue felt a little rushed by trying to introduce and/or establish a bunch of different things at once, this did feel a little more focused. While I would have given this a 7.5, the backup story just drags this down a bit for me.

This wasn't my favorite issue of the series, but I still enjoy it a fair amount. I'm sure the decreased amount of focus on Galaxy will please some of the haters of this series. For me, this just didn't feel quite as focused as the first two issues were, although I thought Kendra's blow-up towards the end of the book was nicely done and it was my favorite part of this issue. I also think Axelrod writes Batman nicely. The art from Nahuelpan was really good, as per usual. I feel as though this was a minor bump in the road for a series I've enjoyed thus far, so hopefully things get back on track with Issue 4.

I felt like there wasn't much that happened in this issue aside from the flashback. After how much I enjoyed the previous issue, this was a little bit of a let-down as we go into the final issue of the series. Hopefully Ottley can bring everything together and give us the finale this run deserves, and hopefully Cates can have a little more involvement with it.

It's truly a shame that this run ended the way it did. This wasn't necessarily bad by any means, but this run had so much potential to be great. I'm not going to blame anyone here, as neither Cates nor Ottley deserve any ill will for this. In the case of Cates, personal life comes first and I would rather him deal with that than continue to write at his own expense. As for Ottley, he was put in a tough spot here and he did the best he could. For someone not really known for writing, he did a solid job with the end of this run, and things could have definitely been a lot worse. Here's to hoping the new Incredible Hulk run from Phillip Kennedy Johnson & Nic Klein is good, as the promotional stuff so far has been very interesting.

This wasn't bad for what it is. The found footage approach to this title is certainly an interesting idea, but it doesn't translate that well to this medium. There are certain parts of this issue that would just be better if it was actually found footage and not in a book. As for the story, it was a fine gap between the last Hulk run and the new one coming out next month. Speaking of which, the epilogue was intriguing and definitely peaks my interest going into this new horror-based series.

While I did enjoy this, I think I need a little more to become invested in Jace's character. I believe this is acting as a prelude issue of sorts for this series, so there's a bit of leeway from me there. Plus, while I did think the art was pretty bare at times, it wasn't necessarily bad. Plus, it was actually good in some instances, with one example being when Jace is at the protest. As for the writing, while it wasn't my absolute favorite, I did like a good amount of the ideas brought to the table here. All things considered, I think this issue shows potential for the rest of the series and all I can hope is that the team capitalizes on that.

I didn't really find this as interesting as the previous issue, unfortunately. I liked what was set up in Issue 1, and I thought that stuff was interesting. However, there was more to the book than that. The stuff with Insomnia wasn't all that engaging, which could be attributed to the fact that I haven't been reading the main series for this event. I got more interested when we got back to Bruce seeing and talking with his younger self. The final few pages felt a little weird after how that aforementioned section of the book played out, though. It also doesn't help that I wasn't all that interested in the backup story. It was fine, but I wasn't the biggest fan of it. I'm really looking forward to Zdarsky's Batman and Williamson's Green Arrow coming back when this is all over, though.

This was the weakest of Wilson's Poison Ivy issues so far. Luckily, it's not technically part of the main run. That's not to say it's BAD or anything, because I've read worse books. One thing that brings this down for me is the art. As another user stated in their review, the art is a bit inconsistent throughout. At times, it's solid and actually good. However, at other times, it just makes some of the characters look off when I don't think they're supposed to. As for the story, I do think it's solid, but not up to the standards set by the main series. One thing that was a little weird was the fact that, despite actually realizing something is up here, Ivy decides to just go with the flow rather than try to figure out what's really going on. This wasn't bad, but the main reasons I'll read the next issue are the fact that it's just two issues total and I'm not getting any regular Poison Ivy content from Wilson until September.

This issue takes a bit of a dip in quality following the starting one, unfortunately. It's not bad, but it feels like it's trying to be wittier and/or funnier than Issue 1 and it just doesn't work as well, in my opinion. However, everything is still solid here. I just wish it was more compelling.

This was a solid start, but not my favorite. Hill continues to have a bit of a minimalist writing style when it comes to the dialogue, which was seen in his recently-wrapped Blade series. Speaking of the dialogue, though, it was a little annoying at certain points. Sometimes, it felt like that cringey way "badass" characters talk in TV shows. I don't know if that makes sense, but that's the best way I can explain it right now. Peralta's art was really good, though. That was definitely the strongest part of this book.

Not a bad ending here. I knew Blade would lose and be separated from Varnae in Blood Hunt #5, but I did save that issue for last in my, personal, reading order. So, the ending of this issue came a little bit out of left field. That said, I completely understand Hill wanting to, somewhat, set the stage for his new Blade series, which I am interested in reading.

A solid issue on its own, but my least favorite of the series so far, unfortunately. The art here was alright, but I'm sorely missing Federico Vicentini. That said, I am interested to see how Miles being a vampire goes moving forward and I do think it's kinda cool that Blood Hunt appears to be having a lasting impact in that regard, whether it lasts for a long time or not.

This was a bit of a drop in quality, in my opinion. A good chunk of the dialogue feels very generic, and while the more classic feel of this book was solid in the first issue, it's not as good here. It doesn't help that the artwork is pretty hit-or-miss for me here. There's one section where Moon Knight looks really cool and another where Layla looks cross-eyed. Nonetheless, this was still a solid read with some cool moments, but I feel like this could have been something more.

Maybe it's just me, but I felt like this was a step back from the previous miniseries Vellani and Pirzada wrote. While I would say that I liked it overall, I also thought it felt a bit dense when it comes to the story and dialogue. Hopefully this miniseries improves in future issues, as I liked what we got in The New Mutant.

This was a fun read, though I agree with AmericanHealthcare's review, in that I feel like this would be better as more of an all-ages book. Don't get me wrong, though, I enjoyed this for what it was and I liked the way Kamala was written here. I'm just hoping we can get back to the quality of the previous miniseries from Vellani & Pirzada.

I’m a bit torn on this issue. While the stage is set for a promising story for the rest of the series, there’s just a couple things that drag things down for me. My main issue is that some of the dialogue felt somewhat forced, specifically when Casey shows her resentment of Oliver during her confrontation with him. Plus, some of the political viewpoints felt a tiny bit wedged in there, but not enough to where it’s overwhelming in any way. One last thing that I was mixed on was when Casey begins to cry when she said she would “tell on” the person outside. It just felt a little bit out of nowhere. Nonetheless, this was still an intriguing start to the miniseries and I hope things get a bit better with next month’s issue.

First thing's first, not everything worked here. I felt that some of the humor worked and it made me audibly laugh, but I also felt that some of the humor didn't work as well and felt a little forced at times. Plus, the flashback with Christopher's dad felt a little generic to me. Nonetheless, this is still an entertaining first issue for this miniseries. I think it just needed to find its stride, and I think it did by the time we got to the final few pages. I'm hoping this series gets better as it continues, because I can really sense some potential here. As of now, I'm interested enough to stick around for the ride.

I really liked how Williams wrote Power Girl in the Special Issue from May of this year, so I thought I would give this one a shot. While I don't know that I enjoyed this as much as that story, it's still pretty solid and enjoyable. I thought the art was nice and I think it fits nicely with the story presented. I just wish this issue had something more, in that there wasn't a whole lot for me to latch onto here, if that makes sense. I feel similarly to how I felt about this week's other Dawn of DC first issue (The Flash #1), in that the potential for this to be better is definitely there, but it's not quite fully capitalized on, in my opinion. However, I will stick around for me to see how things progress. I had high hopes for this series after reading May's Special, so hopefully this run ends up meeting those expectations.

I actually thought that this was the best issue of the miniseries yet. It wasn't fantastic or great or anything, but it was a pretty solid issue. I thought Howard wrote Nightwing well, and I think she typically does great with writing Black Mask as a total douche. Punchline herself still doesn't intrigue me that much, but this was an enjoyable issue overall.

This was another solid issue for this series. Although I didn't quite enjoy it as much as the previous, I still thought it was good. As Derby pointed out in their review, the time jump we get almost makes me feel as though we were missing something when reading this issue. However, I continued to enjoy Typhoid Mary here, as well as the stuff with Curse and Saturnyne. While the overall story of this isn't the most intriguing, the best part of this is the characters, as I think they're fairly well-written.

A solid finale that brings this miniseries to a fairly satisfying conclusion. I continue to enjoy Curse's character and I think she was the best part of this issue for me. For whatever reason, I never really got fully invested into anyone else across these past four issues. Though, I thought this miniseries, as a whole, was just pretty solid. It wasn't amazing, but it was far from bad.

A solid issue once again, but the man thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the art. I wasn't big on Jan Bazaldua's art in the previous seven issues, but it wasn't bad by any means and it was fairly solid. However, Campana's art was very hit-or-miss for me here. I initially thought I really was not going to like it when I saw the first page, but I didn't end up hating it. It wasn't terrible at all, but it wasn't really all that great either. While the story was still fairly interesting, I think that what I believe to be a decrease in the art's quality if what solidifies me giving this a 7/10 rather than a 7.5/10. Although, the story itself would have me on the fence.

This is starting to lose me. I don't think it's bad, but it's definitely a complicated book. Even Silva's art wasn't as good as it usually is. I don't know, I just think that there's a lot going on here and it's not being executed the best way. It feels like a lot is packed into this. I don't know where I saw this, but I heard that this and Gerry Duggan's Fall of the House of X miniseries were both supposed to be 12-issues at first. I think that would have been a lot better, but here we are. Hopefully this all can end well.

Although I did read the previous run, I think a "catch-up" or "previously on..." page would have been beneficial here. You're kind of thrown into the story here without any prior knowledge of what's going on. Despite that, this was still an intriguing issue that establishes the mystery for the rest of the miniseries. I think that Guara's art really fit in with the setting presented and I'm interested to see how it works with the more Western theme to come in Issue 2. Hopefully the run picks up some steam with the next issue as well, and I'm hopeful it will with the return of Cindy's "therapist" from the previous series.

I don't hate this like a lot of others seemed to. It's far from my favorite comic I've ever read, but I enjoyed the art a good amount and I thought the story was fairly solid. Maybe it's because I already like manga/anime art, but I think Nicole's art was my favorite part of this. I will say that I hope the amount of slang is toned down a bit in the future.

Not quite as good as the first issue, but still fairly enjoyable. This started out pretty interesting with Diamondback, but it did lose me a bit with Spider-Woman infiltrating the building later on. Hopefully this is just a minor bump in the road.

This was a bit of a step-up from the previous issue. Sure, I liked most of the stuff here, but the multiple stories going on feel somewhat scattered and a little disconnected from each other. Hopefully that changes soon, as we only have two more issues left of this run.

A solid issue here, but it also felt like a filler story that didn't have a whole lot to do with the current ongoing storyline aside from a couple of pages. Nicuolo's art was good here, though a little rough in certain spots. Hopefully the next issue gets things back on track.

I wasn't super into this, but it is enough to get me to read the next issue. The writing from Scott is solid, but nothing special whatsoever. The main selling point of this for me is the overall mystery surrounding everyone's powers. The art from Luis is fine as well, but it's solid as well. There's nothing bad here, but the art alone wouldn't get me to read this book. All I can hope is that things pick up as the series progresses.

While I would call this a step down from Issue 1, I still enjoyed it for what it was. I think the problem with this issue is that it felt a little clunkier than the previous one, if that makes sense. Something I did particularly enjoy was the situation with the majority of the rest of the team trying to "demote" Captain America from being the leader. The story itself was fine, but it was Deadpool's take on everything that made this really good. I liked his reaction to it and his commentary about the mutants as a whole. That was probably the strongest part of this issue for me, was everything else was just solid.

Maybe I would like this more if it was part of an ongoing series, but this issue felt like a side quest. It started off strong with Captain America's speech, but I began to lose interest when the focus shifted to Penance and Quicksilver. My interest came back up with the final few pages, though. It wasn't a bad issue by any means, but I was hoping for something more after reading Issue 1.

A pretty solid start here. I wasn't expecting much since I've barely read anything about Union Jack and I wasn't the biggest fan of Scott's Titans United books over at DC. However, this was fun. There's some good action all across the book. It's not anything particularly amazing, though Walker's art is pretty cool throughout.

A solid ending for what it was. Walker's art was what especially shined here. I don't really have all that much to say about this one. I never really cared for the characters that much throughout the entirety of this, unfortunately.

A solid read, but the weakest of the series thus far, in my opinion. This moved kind of slow without enough interesting content/ideas to warrant it. Hitch's art was solid, though. I don't really have that much to say about this one. I just hope that V. is able to make Dylan's story a little more interesting.

Another solid issue from Ram V., but I have to say that my interest is beginning to deteriorate. I agree with what Psycamorean said in their review, in that I'm sure that the next issue will be great with Ewing returning to bring the focus back to Eddie's storyline. I just wish V.'s story with Dylan was better.

I wasn't sure what to think with Grønbekk coming on this title and, seemingly, taking over for Ram V. as co-writer of this series with Al Ewing. I've stated before that I'd really like this series to just have Ewing on it, but I'm not completely opposed to having two co-writers if it's done well. While I did fairly enjoy this issue as a comic book, I can't help but feel as though it's a bit disconnected from the story that's been told in the previous twenty-two issues. I'm all for starting a new story arc, but it doesn't really feel as though we've reached a conclusion of the one seen in the previous issue. Hopefully this ends up connecting to what we've been getting from Ewing thus far.

A fairly solid and entertaining book, but I'm so ready to get back to Al Ewing & CAFU on this book. Otha's art here isn't bad by any means and it's actually one of the stronger points of this. As for Grønbekk, this and the previous two issues weren't my favorite. It's not a bad book at all, but it's disappointing to have this story instead of the amazing stuff we've been getting whenever Ewing is writing this. I can't wait to see what he's cooking up with the next issue.

A solid little one-shot. Nothing extraordinary here, but I thought everything was good for what it was. I was fairly interested in Jake's character, though it's a little ironic considering Loo's new Werewolf by Night series that follows this is supposed to be about Jack Russell instead.

A fairly fun issue as a whole, but still my least favorite of the series so far. I feel like Solem should be a lot cooler than he is, especially after the way he was introduced in X of Swords. Hopefully, if he returns at some point, he gets a more interesting storyline. I really feel as though that he has the potential to be a great villain is used correctly.

Uh oh, we're only midway through this storyline and I'm losing interest fast. I understand that Marvel wanted to make this a big deal with it being the final storyline of the series and Sabretooth being the villain, but I think this probably should have been a shorter story. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but I also think this was the worst issue of Sabretooth War so far. It's not bad or anything, but I feel like it's beginning to drag on just for the sake of getting to Issue #50.

A solid first issue, but it didn't really pick up all that much for me until the end. A lot of the dialogue and inner monologue wasn't my favorite, as it just felt a bit too generic, but the twist with Maverick at the end was intriguing. Also, Ryp's art was good throughout and I felt that it fit the story. Hopefully things pick up a little bit with the next issue.

Not the strongest conclusion for this book, though it was enjoyable for what it was. Ryp's art continues to be one of the best parts of this series and I do think Waltz did a pretty solid job for his first Marvel book. I definitely wouldn't be opposed to him working on more projects if he continues to improve moving forward.

I would have to, unfortunately, call this the worst issue of the run thus far. However, it's not really a bad book or anything. What really hurts this for me is Brown's art. It's not the worst art I've ever seen, but it's also far from great. A good chunk of the characters in this book just look odd because of it. As for Percy's story, though, it wasn't the strongest. I think there was some promise within it, perhaps in certain elements, but it just didn't come together as well as I think it could have.

A solid issue, but nothing spectacular. There were definitely some bright spots here, particularly the opening half that Cassara drew. I wasn't as big on the art when Gill took over, and I'm wondering what led to that decision in the first place. I didn't fully realize the book had changed artists at first, but then Wolverine looked odd towards the end so I double-checked to see who did the interiors. Back to the story, though, I do like the premise here, but I feel like it wasn't executed as interestingly as it could have been. Hopefully things pick up with the next issue.

There are a lot of good ideas here, but not everything was executed as well as it could have been, in my opinion. I liked the way this handled Dr. Bloodroot, but I did feel a bit underwhelmed by Man-Slaughter at times. It seems that the next issue will bring a new story, so hopefully this series can get back on track with it.

Not as into this as past storylines, but it definitely has potential. This just felt a little too wacky for me in certain spots, with one example being that Wolverine head that only says "snikt." Hopefully this becomes a little more interesting with the next issue.

Still not loving this current story. I felt like this was a little too all over the place at times. That said, I still really like what Percy's doing with Beast, whether it's in this series or in his Wolverine run.

This storyline was fine for what it was, but I am glad to see that it's ending. Hopefully the return of the plot with Colossus and Mikhail makes this title a little more interesting as things move forward.

I don't know what's going on, but this was the weakest issue of the entire series for me thus far. It's not even that bad of a read or anything, hence my score. My problem is that, two issues ago, we got some really interesting stuff set up with Orchis infecting Krakoan medicine and Wolverine's skeletons being left for enemies to find after multiple deaths. Now, two issues later, we still keep getting glimpses of Orchis doing things, but it's not a large focus. Plus, I don't even remember if they've mentioned the skeletons thing past that previously mentioned issue. Aside from that, the story going on here is entertaining, but it's nothing really spectacular, in my opinion. There were some good moments, especially with Cassara's art, but this just wasn't up to par with the rest of the issues in the run so far, unfortunately.

I felt as though there was a lot packed into this issue, similar to the previous issue. However, I think it worked significantly better in Issue 25 than it does here. Don't get me wrong, this isn't bad. However, it felt a little all over the place at times and there isn't a lot that I'm interested by. I really wish this title had more Shadowkat. She was the highlight of the last issue and I feel the same way here. I do have hope for this series, however, as the next issue not only has the return of Cyclops, but it's also supposed to have the awesome Phil Noto on the art duties.

While I did see this as an improvement over last month's issue, I'm still not entirely invested in this. I feel as though this series is just coming out to give readers something until the new relaunch as opposed to just ending until the summer. Don't get me wrong, this is a solid read on both the writing and art fronts. However, I just feel as though this could be something more.

There's a good amount here that I like, but the biggest problem with the end of the Krakoa Era, for me, is that everything just feels so crammed together. We start off with a few mutants hunting down and taking out M.O.D.O.K., which had some "fine" dialogue. Then, we suddenly start getting more deep/emotional/etc. with Synch and Laura. I liked the moment itself, but it just felt a little out of nowhere. The strongest point of this, for me, was the ending with Kate and Logan. I just wish the rest of the book was as good as that.

A solid story here in what I would call the best of the X-Men one-shots for Blood Hunt so far. That said, I wasn't huge on some of the dialogue, though Yoshii's art was nice throughout.

I feel like this was really oddly placed in terms of its release date. I agree with what Derby stated in their review, in that this would have likely been more effective had it come before Gillen's Rise of the Powers of X miniseries and even Steve Foxe's Dead X-Men miniseries. There were a couple of stronger moments, such as Charles finding out the missing mutants were still alive and when Destiny realizes Mystique is reading the book. However, I did also think this felt a bit crammed at times and I also wasn't incredibly invested in what was going on. Hopefully things pick up with the next issue, as I know Gillen can be a great writer and I really enjoyed the majority of his previous Immortal X-Men series.

I feel very similarly to how I feel about Gillen's Rise of the Powers of X #4 from this week, in that this feels a little complicated and dense. I wish I liked both books more than I do. There were certain bright spots, though I felt that they were overshadowed but the odd execution of the overall story.

Solid story and art here, though nothing particularly spectacular. I don't think I've read anything by Layman prior to this, but I do believe he has potential. That said, I'm interested to see how Titans goes when he takes over from Tom Taylor and isn't tied to an event.

A pretty solid story. I especially really liked the narration for Failsafe here. I hadn't read anything by Pichetshote before, but I'm interested to see what he does within DC's Absolute Universe. I remember seeing his name attached to it somewhere, at some point.

Not as strong as the rest of the issues in this story, but this was still good, especially Sandoval’s art. Hopefully the backup story with Brainiac Five ends up being important, because I wasn’t super into it here.

Still a super solid read here, but just not up to the level as the first few issues of this story. The backup story, also, was just fine as a whole, though I did like the ending shot. Hopefully Superman #15 gives us a strong ending.

While I did like this issue, I think it was a little bit of an underwhelming ending to a miniseries I was really enjoying. Don't get me wrong, I still liked this, but I feel like there should have been more here. What I mean by that is that I think Jon and Kal-El should have fought for a bit as they argue their points, which is what we usually see in comics. Then, you have them talk more the way they did here. That's just my idea, but my point is that I feel like this could have been executed better. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed this issue and I'm interested to see what was going on on the final page and how he'll fit into the Beast World storyline starting in November.

I'm going to start this review off by saying that I had no interest in reading any of the New Golden Age titles going into them. Not because of any ill-will; I just wasn't interested in the characters. However, after hearing people complain about Alan Scott, I decided to check it out. His title was the one I'd be the most interested in reading, especially considering I, personally, am a member of the LGBTQ+ Community and I heard this story would deal with his life as a closeted gay man. After reading, I wouldn't call this one of the best books I've read by any means, I still enjoyed it and I'm interested enough to read more. The strongest part of this, in my opinion, was what I decided to read this book for: the depiction of Alan's struggles being gay in the 30's and 40's. While I do hope that continues to be covered throughout the series, my main hope is that the story itself gets a little more interesting.

This was a really solid first issue that does a nice jo of establishing the story for the rest of the miniseries. I think the twist regarding who the team is working with was executed well, especially. Another stronger point of this book was Godlewski's art, in my opinion.

While this is a fairly fun issue, it feels a little unnecessary. The story is fine, but not the best. Although, Spider-Man and Wolverine teaming up is still fun here. The main highlight here, in my opinion, is Gleason's always fantastic art. I really wish we could have Gleason back on ASM full-time, as he's probably one of my favorite current Spider-Man artists, if not my absolute favorite.

A dip in quality for Dark Web here, but still entertaining. I will say that, despite the amount of fun I had reading the previous issue, I do wish this issue had a more serious tone. After the way Ben was built up in Issue 14, this just feels like a weird direction. Nonetheless, this is still enjoyable.

Don’t get me wrong here, I’m still enjoying the current story, but it’s just not as good as the stuff we were getting prior. The humor here is fun, but it is getting a little too much for me with the build we saw in ASM #14. Maybe if this was the tone set in said issue, this wouldn't be as much of a problem. Even then, I just, in general, wish this was a more serious story after the way Ben has been acting since the end of the Beyond storyline.

A solid step-up in quality from the previous issues of this arc. We now get an understanding of why Peter was pretty much "on the outs" with a lot of people at the beginning of this series, as he gets aggressive with Norman in front of May, runs from Johnny & Ben, and absolutely BONKS Steve in the face with his shield (I wasn't expecting that whatsoever, but it was one of my favorite parts of this issue). The ending was a solid setup for the next issue, as well.

I had the death of this issue spoiled for me before it came out, so it kind of lessened any effect it had on me. However, I'm not going to let that change my rating of this book in any way. Briefly talking about the rest of this issue, I will say that it was an entertaining read and that, despite my lack of interest in the villain, I just liked it overall. Now, let's talk about that death. When the Fallen Friend one-shot was announced, I noticed that the reveal of more details was the same day that this came out, so that got the initial gears turning in my head of who that could be about. For me, it seemed that Norman would be the one to go. He's been a big part of this run and he's been one of my favorite characters throughout. After all of the changes he's gone through, I thought he would have the biggest impact. However, I still wasn't 100%. I thought that it could, maybe, be Mary Jane. A lot of this run has had to do with the mystery of what happened with Mary Jane, specifically what happened between her and Peter, who Paul is, and why they have children together. Those were the main two people I thought would have the most emotional impact based on the story being told in the last twenty-five issues. However, as we all know, I ended up being wrong, as Kamala took the hit. My complaint about this isn't that she died, because I'm sure she'll be back in no time. My main complaint with this is that Kamala, while in multiple issues of this series, hasn't been a main character here. Yes, she's been here, but only for a few pages at a time. Kamala has never been a big part of a story in this run, which makes it all the more confusing as to why this had the build it did. If Kamala had been in this run more prominently, I would have been completely fine with it. However, it just feels like they decided to kill Ms. Marvel to get her some buzz before The Marvels comes out in November. While the rest of this issue was good, I really hope this death leads to something good down the line (Hopefully a new Ms. Marvel series).

Not a bad issue here, but not this run's best. After Peter was shown to be dealing with Kamala Khan's death in the last issue, it feels largely ignored here. After Issue 27, it felt as though that her death was going to be weighing on him for quite some time. Either way, this was a fun and enjoyable story that manages to maintain my interesting going into the next issue. While I don't think this is the best issue of the series whatsoever, the enormous amount of hate this run is currently getting is still undeserved, in my opinion.

This was a solid issue. The tonal shift between this storyline and the previous continues to be felt, but Wells is able to make it make some sense on the final two pages. Yes, the previous three issues, as well as this one, have been a lot more fun and lighthearted compared to Issues 21-26, but it allowed Peter and Norman to be distracted from Kamala's death for a little bit. I do still think it's a little weird, especially considering the first issue of this current arc started out with Peter being clouded by her death, but at least we got some sort of explanation. As for the story itself, it wasn't bad at all and it just felt like a solid comic book story. Nothing more and nothing less. With the return of Superior Spider-Man coming up, I'm pretty sure Otto will be showing up in Dan Slott's current Spider-Man run if he hasn't already (At the time of this writing, I have yet to read it). I'm just hoping this series can rise back up to the quality it was during its first 18 issues. I think Wells is a very talented writer and this run gets a over-hated a bunch.

I'm not quite sure that I needed the amount of pages this had, but it was still enjoyable. The main story was good and I'm glad we've finally gotten back to Tombstone. I'm thinking this will act as a prelude of sorts for the upcoming Gang War crossover, which is something I'm really excited for. The first five issues of this series dealt with gangs and such, and they were great. One problem I had with the issue, however, was the handling of Peter and Felicia's breakup. Their relationship didn't really get a large focus in the first place, but it felt like their breakup was super hasty and rushed. I didn't want them to breakup in the first place, but I think, if it was gonna happen, it could have been executed a lot better. As for the rest of the issue, I thought it was a fine collection of stories that mainly acted as a preview for other Spider-related books. In this one issue alone, we get previews/preludes to Superior Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, AND Spider-Boy. Plus, we get two random Spider-Man stories from Albert Monteys and Cale Atkinson. They were funny and cute stories, but I don't really think they needed to be here. All things considered, I think this issue had more than it really needed, but, overall, it was an enjoyable over-sized issue.

A little bit of a step down in quality for Gang War, in my opinion, but I did enjoy this. Romita Jr.'s art is solid and the story from Wells is still fairly interesting. I do like Beetle trying to step up to Tombstone's position. I did feel as though there as a lot packed in here at times, but I still liked this. Hopefully things pick up a bit more with the next issue.

I liked a majority of what we got here, though I do feel like this jumped around a lot. While the latest issue of Miles Morales: Spider-Man felt like things were being rushed through, this just felt like jumping around to different characters involved in Gang War. Like I said, I liked a good chunk of it, but I also felt like there wasn't a lot of room to breathe.

A bit of a step-up from the previous issue, in my opinion. I was really liking Carmen Carnero's art in the last two issues, but Nauck does a pretty nice job here as well. I'd definitely prefer him on the book than John Romita Jr. right now. Aside from the art, the story was engaging as well. There wasn't anything particularly unique or groundbreaking about it, but it was entertaining for what it was. Hopefully the ending the sticks the landing in the next issue.

Another pretty solid issue for the series here that follows up on the previous one fairly well. Nauck continues to be a good guest artist and I'd definitely welcome him to do more issues for the series. I just wish this had someone better than John Romita Jr. for the main artist. It looks like we're getting Ed McGuinness for the next few issues, though (with one possibly featuring Nauck instead), which is great. As for the story itself, it was good. I'm glad that the stuff with Sandman seems to be continuing in some capacity with the Sinister Six's involvement in the next story arc.

This was an improvement over the first issue, in my opinion. Though, I do feel as though the writing as a little hit-or-miss. There were some strong moments, with one example the interaction between Bobby and his mom towards the end. However, I felt as though some of the other dialogue throughout was somewhat basic. With that in mind, I enjoyed this issue as a whole and I'm hoping the book continues to improve with Issue 3.

Possibly the best issue so far with this one. Spider-Man being a guest star, of sorts, in this definitely helped. Carratù's art was really solid as well, and it has been throughout these past four issues. Back to the story, though, this was a fun team-up that kept me engaged throughout. While nothing spectacular, it was fairly enjoyable and it's always nice to see Peter and Bobby together.

A really solid ending to a miniseries I wasn't feeling all that much in the beginning. Aside from Carratù's nice art, Orlando put together an entertaining and fairly well-written finale that handled its main character, Bobby, nicely. As a matter of fact, I think Orlando's writing of Bobby, as a character, has been a stronger aspect of this miniseries. I wouldn't be opposed to Orlando writing more of him in the future. My only hope would be that the story is a little more interesting the next time around.

Some outstanding art from Kuder is the best part of this issue. Aaron's scripts aren't bad whatsoever, but this story just doesn't have enough behind it to make me as invested as I know I could be with such a large-scale story. With one issue left in this storyline (Omega), I just really hope the conclusion is worth it.

This was my first issue of Tynion IV's Batman, and I liked it. It doesn't quite hook/sell me on this series as a whole yet, but the main reason I initially decided to come back and read from here was because I was able to get the single issues and because the Fear State event interested me. As for this issue, it was solid and I think it lays a little bit of groundwork in terms of what's to come from this series after Joker War.

This was a step-up following the previous issue. If you read my review for Issue 104, you’d know that my biggest issue with it was the art. This time around, the art feels cleaner and more consistent. However, I still maintain the stance that we don’t need multiple artists on one issue. I do think that this works when two stories are being told in two different times, but it should not be the common occurrence it is here. Speaking more about the story, I like the dynamic between Batman and Ghost-Maker. I think having Ghost-Maker in Gotham presents the opportunity for some interesting stories. Overall, a solid issue as DC heads into Future State.

Fear State continues to take shape in this slower, but still enjoyable, issue. I don't know that we need Harley Quinn here, considering the fact that she has her own book, but I can't complain all that much since I enjoyed her stuff here as well. As far as the main story goes, I thought that Tynion builds the uneasiness well and I'm still intrigued by this storyline. Speaking about the backup story, I thought it was a fun story, but nothing special. Lopez's art doesn't really get good until Ghost-Maker puts on his suit. I don't know what it was, but the way he drew him without the suit just looked wonky.

While the main story does continue to be kind of slow, it's still enjoyable and nicely written. Miracle Molly is an intriguing character and I think she has potential, like Ghost-Maker and Clownhunter, to be a good character. I will say that I am a bit mixed on her design. It almost feels like half of it is cool and half of it is just meh. As for the Ghost-Maker backup story, this wasn't quite as good as the first one. It started off nicely, but dwindled a bit during the "backstory" section of it. Hopefully it picks up with the next issue, as I've been liking Ghost-Maker more and more.

While the ending to this large-scale storyline felt a bit rushed, which is weird considering it had 6 issues of build and then 6 issues of the main story, I still enjoyed this. Of course, you have the fantastic Jimenez on the art duties. Plus, Tynion writes the story and its characters well enough to keep me engaged until the end. Moving to the backup, it was another fun read that solidifies my interesting in checking out the Batgirls run it preludes. I don't have a whole lot to say about this issue, other than that I enjoyed it despite some of the overall story's pacing being off.

While this crossover has not been my absolute favorite by any means, I think the amount of hate it's getting is a bit unwarranted. It's pretty much a given that Jimenez's art is fantastic. When it comes to the story, of course it can be better. However, it's not absolutely terrible like some will have you believe. The interactions between Bruce and Dick are really good. While I thought the parts with Vandal were interesting, it felt a bit disconnected from the rest of the story at times. All things considered, while I did enjoy this issue, this hasn't been my favorite story and I'm getting ready to move on from Gotham War.

Certainly an interesting start here. It already feels as though this book has a lot of different characters to balance. I mainly decided to pick this book up for Ghost-Maker, who I've enjoyed since he showed up during James Tynion IV's Batman run. The same goes for Clownhunter, but he didn't get much focus here. The other standouts in this issue, for me, are Jiro and El Gaucho. Jiro having a journey in order to discover his true identity as a hero has a lot of potential and I hope it goes well. As for Gaucho, he could definitely be somewhat of a rival for Ghost-Maker as this series moves forward. I hope this book is able to manage all of those previously mentioned characters well, along with the group of others involved also.

Good follow-up to the opening issue. I'm not quite sure how this book is going to balance all of their characters after introducing a few more here. Ghost-Maker's storyline is the best thing going here, which is good for me since he's the main reason I decided to read this title. Phantom-One certain provides some interest, especially given the tease of him a few pages earlier when Clownhunter got in the middle of Ghost-Maker's conversation with Skyspider. As for everyone else in the book, it felt like we cut to them from Ghost-Maker only for each team to get a couple of pages before eventually cutting back to Ghost-Maker. While I am primarily reading for Ghost-Maker, the other ongoing stories hold this book back for me, as they don't create nearly as much interest, despite being solid.

The majority of this book was pretty good, but the rest of the team's stories just hold this back a bit for me. I really wish this could be a Ghost-Maker book and not Batman Incorporated. Everything was done well, but then we get a cut to the other teams for a page each. Phantom One is already an interesting character by almost bringing a new perspective on the dynamic between Batman and Robin. All in all, the main story continues to be pretty good, while everything else is a little lacking for me.

This book has so much potential to be truly great, but, as another user pointed out, the large cast and all of the other ongoing plots aside from the main one just really drag this down. I just don't think there's enough room in a comic for all of these characters, especially considering that there isn't much interest built in them. Whenever I start reading about the other characters, I find myself anticipating when we'll get back to the plot with Ghost-Maker, Clownhunter, and Phantom-One. It was cool to see the other antagonists of the side stories coming together and tying everything back to the main plot, but I really hope this book can just get a bit more focused.

While I still wasn't that interested in Professor Pyg here, everything else was a step-up in quality from the previous issue. Ghost-Maker continues to be the book's most interesting character. The inner conflict he faces involving his worldview versus Batman and the Batman Family is entertaining to read. I'm not sure how I feel about Joker Inc. being teased at the end of the book, but I knew something was happening to Raven Red's dad as soon as he said, "I'm not going anywhere." Hopefully Joker Inc. defies my expectations proves to be a good idea.

I was a bit skeptical of Joker Incorporated when I first saw it in solicitations, I wasn't sure how I felt about it. Even here, I'm not 100% sure how I feel about it, but I do think Joker's reasoning for creating it makes complete sense. The final page of this issue gives me more hope that Joker Incorporated will be a good storyline, so hopefully things pick up in Issue 9. Speaking about this book as a whole, Psycamorean points out a great point in his review that I agree with, in that this title just has so many characters in it. As much as I like Gray Wolf, there's a part of me that hopes he leaves the team like he talked about in this issue so that things can be spread out a little more. An example of this is that, after his father's death in the last issue, Jiro is in this issue for like a page or two and then forgotten about for the rest of the book. While it's still been an enjoyable read, I really hope this run can become a little more focused in the future. Quality over quantity reigns true here, in my opinion.

I don't know how many times I can say this, but there are just too many characters to focus on in this series. While I do enjoy a good chunk of the stories happening here, there's not a lot of room for the reader to get as invested into these characters and stories as they could be. Nonetheless, Timms's art continues to be good and the various storylines Brisson brings here are good-to-solid. We're nearing a year of this book and it still has the problem I mentioned here and nearly every, if not absolutely every, review I've written for this series.

This was another good issue on Ridley's part, as I'm still intrigued by the story he's telling. Not everything worked as well here as it has in the past, but it's still a nice read. As for Landini, I wasn't the biggest fan of his art here. Most of it was solid, but there were certain pages/moments where faces just looked strange. Hopefully his art improves, as it looks like he's, at least, working on the next two issues as well.

Another lower point for this series, unfortunately. Though, it's not a bad book whatsoever. I still find Ridley's story fairly enjoyable, though I don't feel as though it's up to the quality it was once at. I can't really pinpoint it specifically, but it's not quite as engaging. As for Landini, I found his art a bit better overall, though I do think I would look for a different rotating artist for this series with Juann Cabal. I did like the work Ibrahim Moustafa did in in Issues 3 & 4.

I'm losing interest in this storyline fast. I don't think this is a bad book whatsoever, but I just found certain things weird here. For example, Ridley continues to write a bit of an odd Captain America here. I agree with Psycamorean, in that I'm not really a fan of it. This is really starting to feel like the end of this run's first arc, in that there's some intriguing ideas with execution that isn't the best.

I don't know what happened, but we went from my favorite issue of the series so far to my least favorite so far. This one just felt a bit rushed, in my opinion, especially the ending. I feel as though this could have used a few more pages to flesh things out a little better. I did like how Hill wrote Doctor Strange, though.

I'm glad to see Casagrande fully back on the art duties, but Hill's writing hasn't been my favorite here or in the previous issue. A good chunk of these feels rushed without much time to really digest the scenes. Hopefully this series can get back on track with Dracula being brought in.

A bit of a step-up from the previous issue, in my opinion. Following the large amount of setup that was seen in the first issue, Trujillo is now able to really get into the story here. Speaking of which, I thought it was engaging and fairly well-written. There are certain moments that are a bit rushed, in my opinion, and there are certain moments where I wasn't the biggest fan of the dialogue. All of that said, though, there was a good amount of stuff that I did like here. For example, I liked the dialogue between Oo'Li and her father, which I think could lead to some interesting plot developments. Overall, I think this is a step in the right direction for this series and I hope that trend continues.

I feel very similarly with this issue to how I felt with the previous one. There's a mix of things I didn't care for that much along with things I did like. My opinion on this as a whole, which can be seen by my rating, is mainly positive. I'm intrigued by the direction of Jaime not being able to pull the trigger on the Blood Scarab, especially. It's not anything that hasn't been done before, but it can be a good story when executed well.

A solid opening for this miniseries. Jaime's struggles with transformation, his role in life, and his future are established well. Some of the dialogue wasn't my favorite, but I do like the overall story as a whole and this issue builds some interest to see where things go. Seeing Superman eat elote was not something I expected to see in a comic, but it's very much welcome.

Another solid issue from this series that could be better. I think the mentor-relationship between Starfire and Jamie has great potential, but it's not fully realized here (at least not yet). However, the conversation the two have with each other was probably my favorite part of this book. I wasn't expecting the introduction of another beetle (which is now becoming sort of a Power Rangers situation with multiple different colors), but hopefully it's interesting. Speaking of which, I'm not sure how many more villains they can fit now that Fadeaway has returned following the first issue. I just hope that this miniseries doesn't lose focus as we head into the second half.

A good issue where Jaime hits a low point after messing up Victoria's lab and letting Fadeaway flee the scene. Everything that comes before was solid setup, featuring enjoyable dialogue and solid character work with Jaime. The setup at the end with Batman and the other heroes peaks a bit of interest as well, as it seems like Jaime will be coming face-to-face(s) with some prominent DC heroes in the very near future.

A fairly entertaining issue that, despite its flaws, manages to tell an interesting story. Jaime can be a bit of an annoying character here, but it's understandable considering the stress he's under with his current situation and how he's been recently been feeling, emotionally. Nonetheless, this was an enjoyable read that sets up The Horizon coming to Earth and facing Jaime, as well as the other two beetles, in the next, and final, issue of the miniseries.

While I do believe that this finale started strong by testing Jaime as a hero and as a leader, it dragged down a bit for me during the conversation with The Horizon. It wasn't bad by any means, but I do think it was a tad bit weird for Jaime to, almost impulsively, give this alien race permission to live in a city he just recently moved to himself. However, I appreciate the setup for the ongoing series announced at the same time of this issue's release, which is something I currently plan on checking out when it releases in September.

A pretty solid issue here, but I do feel like this has the potential to be better. This started out really strong with Cletus's first kill of the issue, but I began to lose a bit of interest as time went on. That said, though, I did think this was an improvement over the first issue as a whole, so I'm glad to see that. Hopefully it continues to get better as time goes on.

This wasn't quite as good as the previous issue, but it was still entertaining for what it was. Bengal's art goes on a little bit of a decline after the last issue, but it's not necessarily BAD by any means. I'm glad this seems to only be a two-issue storyline and I'm interested to see where things go with the Bat Family being teased on the last page.

I'm not as interested in what's going on here as I've been in the past, but this is still entertaining. Dario's situation is the most interesting thing here, and that's only present for a handful of pages. I don't dislike Valmont, but I haven't been given much of a reason to care when it comes to him. Hopefully things pick up a bit with the next issue.

The final issue of this storyline shows a lot of promise when it comes to the issues post-Knight Terrors. This and the issue before it make me excited for the future of this title. I've really been enjoying Chip Zdarsky's run on Batman, so I'm very interested to see how the Gotham War crossover will turn out. I just wish we didn't have to wait two extra months to get there because of Knight Terrors. Either way, I believe that things are looking up for this run with this issue and, I know I've said this multiple times in other reviews, but I really hope it can return to the quality it was at with its first arc.

I'd say this was an improvement over the previous issue. It's still not as good as the initial two issues of the crossover, but I think it's given the Vandal stuff introduced in Batman #137 a little more direction. I also think Howard handled Bruce and Selina's interactions well. I will say that I do wish Gotham War was more consistently good, as I think it has the potential to be something a lot better, but it's not pure garbage like some people may try to make you think.

For whatever reason, this just clicked with me in a way the past two issues didn't. Not everything here was great, with one example being the opening dialogue between Dario, Eiko, and Selina. However, I found Selina's story to be compelling as things progressed and, despite Superman randomly showing up out of nowhere, I thought the book ended on a nice note. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come, as I know Howard is capable of writing good books.

I didn't enjoy this as much as the first issue, but I thought it was still fairly intriguing. I think that the last issue set up some interesting ideas, and now this issue's purpose is to build off of those a bit in order to bring us closer to the big conclusion. Now that this miniseries is going into the second half, I hope the quality goes back up instead of continuing to go down.

An enjoyable issue here that's the most interesting when focusing on Serafina. This was a solid issue overall, but those pages were where I felt the most engaged. Either way, I hope that the next, and final, issue wraps up this miniseries nicely.

A pretty solid final issue for the series, but also nothing spectacular. I don't really have all that much to say about this one. Everything was just solid when it came to Maresca's art and Camp's story. This miniseries, as a whole, was good and enjoyable, but also one that probably won't end up being all that memorable for me, unfortunately.

A pretty solid issue as we head into the final few issues of Gang War. As a matter of fact, solid is probably the best way to describe nearly everything about this issue. I wonder if this series will end up having any impact on Saladin Ahmed's current Daredevil run.

This was a fairly fun read that shows is how Kamala got to her run-in with Ben in Amazing Spider-Man #15. I had assumed we were going straight into where Ben transported her to in this issue, but I'm hoping Pirzada is able to wrap everything up with Issue 2. As for this issue, it was just a fun Ms. Marvel story and nothing more.

I'll start this by saying that I think this series has potential. While the cast isn't my personal favorite, I do think it's an interesting one. However, we don't really get to see all that much of them here. As KittyNone stated in their review, the backup was the best part of this story and it's probably what I'll remember the most from this issue. That's not to say everything else wasn't good, because, as you can tell by my rating, I enjoyed the issue as a whole. I just hope that, with Issue 2, we get more on the rest of the characters involved in this book.

I looked at the lower scores on this issue and was worried this was gonna be very average, but I ended up liking it. Maybe it's just me, but I thought this was a really solid finale to this miniseries. The focus on Madelyne in this issue only worked to its benefit, as I think Foxe wrote her well. While I do feel as though this was a little rushed, it was entertaining for what it was.

I thought this was a pretty solid first issue for the series. It doesn't really reach the heights of the previous series from Alyssa Wong for me, but it has potential. Ziglar seems to have a fairly good grasp on the character, though I did feel like the way he wrote Wade's dissatisfaction with his current situation to be a bit much at times. I just feel as though there was a better way to convey it. Either way, this was good and I hope the run only gets better from here.

This was my first time reading a story about Bloodline and it was pretty solid. As of now, I'm missing one of the five issues of Bloodline: Daughter of Blade, so I plan on reading it at some point. Either way, this was good. The namesake of this book, Dracula, was probably the best part of this. I think Lore wrote him nicely here. The reluctant team-up angle isn't something new, but I think it has potential with this book. Hopefully it ends up realizing said potential. If anything, the art will be good.

A pretty solid conclusion to one of the better Blood Hunt tie-in miniseries. Something I did like about this is that it felt like a nice ending to the book while also setting up the appearance of Brielle and Dracula in the last issue of the main Blood Hunt miniseries.

Following what I believed to be the strongest issue so far, I have to say this was the weakest one, unfortunately. Things started off nicely, but took a bit of a downturn for me during Gambit and Rictor's mission. It wasn't bad by any means, just not my favorite. However, things went back up towards the end with Betsy's stuff. I believe this is a minor bump in the road and that things will pick up soon.

Another issue that's not my absolute favorite of the series, but I did like it a bit more than the previous one. This one felt more focused with the story it was trying to tell, in my opinion. To's art here was pretty good, as well. I really enjoyed the pages towards the end with Betsy and Jamie, respectively, attacking one another.

A really solid issue that I think could have been executed a bit better. I like Apocalypse, Rictor, and Gambit in this issue, but I felt as though the story itself was a bit lacking. I wasn't really all that into the beginning of this book, as much as I enjoy the first two characters I listed. However, this did definitely pick up when things transitioned to Rogue and Gambit.

I felt as though this got a bit confusing at times, but I still enjoyed it overall. That could be because it's been a while since I've read the first twelve issues of this series and/or because my reading of X of Swords has been a bit more sporadic. That said, though, I think the strongest aspects of this came from the dynamic between Betsy and Brian throughout. Silva's art here was nice as well.

I thought this was an improvement upon the previous two issues, though this still isn't quite as good as I feel it should be. That said, there is a lot to like here. Apocalypse's section is definitely the highlight, in my opinion. Especially when we got more focus on Wrongslide. I really enjoyed the content we got with him in Al Ewing's X-Men: Red series. Aside from that, the stuff with Cyclops, Nimrod, Charles, etc. was solid, but not particularly my favorite. A lot of this last run of X-books has been a little disappointing, unfortunately. However, I hope the upwards trajectory of this book's quality continues and manages to be felt with all of the other mutant books currently, as well.

This started off fairly strong, in my opinion, as I really liked the stuff with Cyclops and Storm. Furthermore, Caselli's art was absolutely fantastic here. That said, though, everything else wasn't as strong, for me. There wasn't anything particularly bad here, but the ending to this whole era still feels a little crammed and complicated in certain spots.

While I, personally, think this issue jumped around a lot, it was still enjoyable. All three stories were wrapped up nicely enough, but I will say that they did feel a tad bit rushed. Overall, this was nothing more than a solid issue.

A solid issue that brings the Flash Family together as The One-Minute War continues to be set up. While I do think Cruz's art worked better here than in the previous issue, it can be distracting at times, for me. Nonetheless, and enjoyable issue that adds some emotional stakes to the story with the apparent death of Iris.

A very solid issue for One-Minute War. The main story here is the development of the friendship between Ace and Bart, which was done well. This very much felt like a science-fiction/adventure movie in a good way. There was just enough development to keep this story going at a steady pace. My main criticism of this issue is the art. Cruz's art isn't BAD by any means, but it feels as though that this just isn't the book for his talents. However, it doesn't take much away from the issue as a whole. All in all, a pretty good issue for Flash that advanced the story and had quite an interesting final page.

Another rock solid issue for Flash’s One-Minute War storyline. This does everything it needs to fairly well. The story is advanced, bonds are strengthened, there’s moments of emotion, and the ending leaves the reader wanting more. With the final pages, you have Jay’s situation, Wally’s predicament, and Irey now in danger. While Cruz’s art could be a bit better, Adams’ scripts pull this together into an overall good book.

While this storyline hasn't been my absolute favorite, it was still pretty solid. This fact remains for the finale that is this issue. It gets an extra 0.5 from for the ending, which I particlarly enjoyed.

This was a fun issue showcasing Wally's two kids and Animal Girl, along with the return of the Super Sons. Nothing super high stakes, but still entertaining nonetheless, and I'm not usually a huge fan of stories more focused on child characters. One thing I'm also not usually a fan of his the art switching in the middle of the book. Nothing against either of the artists, but it just kind of messes with my reading experience. Not sure what to think of the final page with Granny Goodness, but I'm trusting Adams to make this something interesting.

This was the best issue of this run so far. It's far from a perfect book for me, but this clicked in a way the first four issues didn't. This went a little less on the complex science and focused more on Jhai to bring us a more character-driven story. I really appreciated that and I think approaching things in this way will only benefit this run going forward. Speaking of Jhai, I do have a relatively minor gripe with this issue. I understand and recognize that nearly everything in this book is not realistic, but I just don't believe that Jhai would say some of the words he does for being a kid. He could be an advanced kid or maybe I'm not that smart, but it just didn't completely work for me. I will say that Deodato continues to have some nice art, however. All things considered, I really hope this is the start of this series improving. I think it's had some interesting ideas thus far without the best execution.

I didn't really see the point of this one. It was a good read, but I felt as though it didn't connect to the larger, ongoing narrative as much as I would have liked it to.

A little disappointed by this one, not gonna lie. I liked it, as can be seen by my score, but I do feel as though this wasn't as strong as it could have been, considering how much I enjoyed a majority of everything before this. This definitely felt like a conclusion, but I did find it to be a little rushed. I feel like Johnny confronting Blackheart could have been a little bit bigger of a deal. That said, I did think him basically obliterating Blackheart was kinda cool.

Not a bad issue, but a little bit of a step-down from the previous one. Seeing Smith back on the interiors was great, but I do feel like this could have ended a little stronger. That said, I am interested in this story with Danny, despite him not really appearing much in this issue.

I enjoyed this as a whole, especially the killer art from Smith, but I did feel as though that this was another case of this run having the ending of an arc feel a bit rushed. In this case, it was a bit underwhelming also. I don't know. I feel like the next issue could have been used to stretch this out a little, considering it's currently being advertised as a standalone story before we get into the Weapons of Vengeance crossover with Wolverine.

A good read, but I do still feel like this issue could have been used to make the conclusion that was the previous issue felt less rushed. Either way, I enjoyed this for what it was and I was glad to see Robbie.

Not a bad issue here, but far from this run's strongest. I do appreciate Percy diving more into Talia's backstory, but I just didn't find it incredibly interesting, unfortunately. It had some strong points, but I just wish there was more for me to latch onto. It didn't help that I wasn't always into Nieto's art either. I'm really glad to see that Cory Smith is supposed to return in the next issue.

This was cool for what it was, but I don't think I really needed it. It was cool to see different riders, but I felt like this could have used a little more substance or, perhaps, a bit of a stronger reason for me to care. That said, this was far from a bad comic or anything.

I was hoping for a stronger conclusion, but this was still good for what it was. I do wish there was either a little more substance to this, or perhaps that it was just more fun. Perhaps even both simultaneously. Either way, I do feel like a crossover between these two should have been a bit better, especially considering that Percy is more than capable of writing really good stuff. Like I said, this was far from bad. However, I was hoping for more from this.

I liked this issue more than most, but I do wish it got to the point quicker. We only see Johnny for a few pages before Zarathos just travels across the universe until finding The Hood on the last page or two. Like I said, I liked this as a whole, hence my rating, but I don't think I'm going to continue to like it as much unless we get a clearer direction for this series sooner rather than later.

The best issue since the first one, I my opinion. Parker was a bit more interesting for me this time around, especially with his "I'd kill for you" line. Johnny and Zeb's stuff was solid, but there also wasn't a whole lot of it. With the next issue being the end of the series, I hope things get wrapped up nicely.

Yeah, this wasn't really needed. Don't get me wrong, it's another solid issue of Hulk from PKJ. That said, there isn't much reason for this to exist as far as I'm concerned, unless this ends up influencing the main series in a larger way at some point down the line. One thing I do hope the main series takes from this is that Broccardo should totally be the fill-in artist for the book whenever Nic Klein isn't drawing it.

Not really sure how I feel about Ollie suddenly working for Amanda (assuming it’s true). Nahuelpan’s art was also a bit shaky for me overall, but I didn’t think anything here was bad.

A solid issue, though I was really hoping this would give more insight as to why Ollie is working with Amanda, as that still has yet to be explained whatsoever. I could have missed something in that regard, but I don't think I did currently. Hopefully we get something on that soon.

This was a solid debut issue for the new Green Lantern run. I was expecting a bit more here with how much I've enjoyed Adams' run with Flash so far, but this wasn't bad by any means. Hal's is a little bit annoying here during the jet drone scene, but everything else was good. I particularly enjoyed his moment on top of the RV. I'm just hoping things pick up a little bit in the next issue with the guy in the Manhunter suit and the Sinestro tease earlier in the issue. As for the backup, I was left a little confused. I don't mind John not being in most of it since it's setting up who his current villain will be. However, I'm not really sure what was going on with Guy Gardner and Shepherd. I'm not sure if it's because I didn't read the previous run, or if this is just new stuff in an alternate universe or something. Either way, I was just a bit confused. All in all, I really hope this run picks up some steam as time goes on, and I do have hope knowing the quality of writing Jeremy Adams is capable of.

Probably my least favorite issue of the series thus far, but it was far from bad. I liked the Hal story that started things off and even the Jessica story that followed, but it felt like things took a left turn afterwards. I don't mean to say that the short stories about Sinestro, Alan & the JSA, etc. were bad, but they just felt thrown in as filler before getting back to Hal at the end. Either way, I liked it for what it was. The backup wasn't bad, either. Thaaros's origin was certainly interesting, to say the least.

Another solid issue for this series, but also another one that's a little weak in comparison to the rest of the run so far. I just haven't found these Absolute Power tie-ins to be as interesting, unfortunately. It also doesn't help that I'm really missing Xérmanico on the art duties. Oh yeah, and I don't think really think Guggenheim's backup was incredibly necessary.

A step up from last month's issue for sure. Marcel's story was heartbreaking, but I would have liked a little more time spent building their relationship before showing that he had killed him. Aside from that, the pages before we see Marcel's backstory were done well, with Eddie continuing to be funny. I'm intrigued to see where things go with Marcel's dive at the end and I'm interested to see how Phillips wraps up this arc in next month's Issue 10.

I think this was a pretty solid start for this series. I understand the disliking of Rossmo's art, as I'm not even the BIGGEST fan of it, but I don't think it's bad. It will definitely take some time to get used to it. As for the writing, Phillips makes Harley a compelling character here. I know Harley can get a bit annoying for people, but I think this was a good balance of obnoxious and likable.

Some of the dialogue here wasn't my favorite, especially during the more action-heavy scenes, but I still liked this overall. I continue to like Phillips's voice for Harley and I think Hugo has been a fairly good villain thus far. I did like the overarching commentary about smiles from Harley's narration, though I also felt as though the art wasn't up to the level of the last two two issues.

Fun ending to a run that I really enjoyed for the most part, but kind of fell off a bit towards the end. While this issue wasn't quite what I expected, it still was an entertaining finale to Phillips' nearly-30-issue stint. I probably would have given this a 7 overall, but the last few pages bumped this up half a point for me. I'm extremely excited for Harley and Ivy to be reunited when Tini Howard takes over, and in G. Willow Wilson's current Poison Ivy run as well. Overall, an entertaining ending to a very fun run of Harley Quinn.

A certainly interesting new direction for Harley under Tini Howard. Boo’s art is pretty good and, for whatever reason, I’m surprised she’s doing interiors instead of just covers. Howard’s scripts are solid and the story is fun, but what holds this book back for me is the pacing. I feel like the pages used for the backup story (which was straight-up absurd, but also fun) could have been used to expand on the main story a bit. To keep the backup story, I feel like this story could have been stretched across one or two more issues. Overall, this was a fun start to Howard & Boo’s run on Harley and I just hope the pacing and writing improve as time goes on.

This was probably the best issue of Howard's run on Harley Quinn yet. The story continues to be more focused, which is a definite improvement over Issue 28. The story itself is pretty fun as well. I like Harley as a teacher and I'm interested to see how that side of the story develops as time goes on. I can't believe I'm saying this due to how weird it is, but I genuinely enjoyed Harley's psychic conversations with her hyenas throughout this. One other improvement seen in this issue is the backup story. In the last issue, the backup story was just a pain for me to read. While the one here didn't do much for me, it also wasn't the worst read for me either, which I see as an improvement. I hope the quality for this run only goes up from here and I think this has potential to get pretty good. I kind of wish the in-continuity dream backup stories would get cut, though, as I don't think they've added much to this series so far.

This book somewhat returns to how I was feeling with Issue 28, in that there's a lot going on, but it does it a bit better than said issue. This issue almost read like a roller coaster of sorts. It starts off nicely with Ivy trying to figure out how Harley got the cosmic treadmill. Then, it takes a slight dip with the Captain Carrot stuff. However, the quality comes back up when Harley and Ivy come back together and when Harley takes her students on a field trip. Then, we get the ending of this whole thing that kind of fell a little flat for me. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed just about everything here. Plus, we have the backup story. If you've read my reviews for this series prior to this issue, you know that I'm not the biggest fan of the in-continuity dreams we get for the backup stories. This time, I actually enjoyed the dream. It wasn't anything super special, but it really felt like how a dream. It's a somewhat outlandish plot without many intricate details, but still enough to advance the story. I don't know how to explain it other than that it just felt like how dreams feel like to me sometimes. With Knight Terrors set to make this, and almost every other DC title, take a pause, I hope this run's tie-in is able to maintain or improve the quality we've seen thus far.

I initially got worried when I saw the ratings here, but then I actually read them and knew it was going to be a bunch of bull. After reading this, I can say it's good. Is it great? No, but it's a solid and entertaining debut issue. Kendra is actually an interesting character that feels like she has a unique voice in this story. I know absolutely nothing about Galaxy, on the other hand, but I think she's a character that shows promise and I'm intrigued to see what comes of her involvement in this series. I also don't care if Axelrod put her in here just because she created her. I feel like other people would do the same thing if they could, because it's cool to have a character you created being involved in the book of an established DC character such as Hawkgirl. It also helps that the character isn't even necessarily bad, and it seems everyone's mad about it because she's new and LGBTQ+ (Which also doesn't even make sense because she's a literal alien). Plus, Nahuelpan's art is really nice to look at here. Now, I should probably end it there, but some of the discourse and comments surrounding this book are just so frustrating. The people who are acting like politics have suddenly appeared in comics recently and/or people who think politics have no place in comics are just so blinded. Are we going to act like the X-Men weren't created in the 1960s as a metaphor for the Civil Rights Movement? Are we going to act like Captain America isn't a political character whatsoever? Not to mention that DC literally changed Superman's motto to include "the American way" during World War II? Comics have been political for decades, and people who are mad about it now are, from my experience, people who don't agree with the political beliefs/ideas/etc. being shown. Do I think Superman's motto should include "the American way?" No, not really. He may have crashed into the United States, but he's a hero that fights for more than just citizens of the United States. However, I'm not going to completely trash a Superman book where he says it just because I don't necessarily agree with it. That's just dumb. If it's using politics to be hateful, that's another thing. However, this is not a case of that whatsoever. Like I said, this is not a GREAT book. There are various books that you could say are better than this. However, from what I've seen, people are just mad over something not worth the time to get upset about.

If the first issue didn't get enough undeserved hate, I knew this was gonna get bombed the second Galaxy said "trans." Does this issue feature a lot of Galaxy? Yes, but that doesn't make this issue bad. I said this in my review of Issue 1 and it still reigns true here. This is not the best book out there right now, but it's still an entertaining read. I liked Kendra and Galaxy's interactions throughout, which might be because I don't lose my mind at her inclusion in this series. She has a prominent role here, but it highlights her character while also helping Kendra develop as well. Either way, I understand that this series may not be for everyone, but I think this is another case of people overreacting to something that's not worth the time to be outraged about. This is a solid and interesting book.

Not quite as good as the first issue, but still good nonetheless. I appreciated the backstory on how Daken came to be Hellverine, even if it didn't explain the claw thing I mentioned in my review of the previous issue. Ohta's art continues to be a strong point as well.

Far from a bad book, but I have to say that this conclusion felt rushed. It reminds me of one of those movie endings that quickly wraps everything up and sets the stage for a potential sequel without leaving room to breathe. That said, I did think this had some good moments and I liked it overall. Otha's art was a particular strong point throughout. Oh yeah, and I'm really glad they gave, at least, some explanation as to why Daken's claws didn't look right in prior issues.

As a fan of this run so far, I wasn't sure what to expect when I found out that Ottley (one of my personal favorite artists) was going to be taking up the writing duties here. After reading, I wouldn't say the scripts are bad whatsoever. However, they're just a little "generic," if that makes sense. The art is great, as usual, and the story itself is good, but I just wish the actual dialogue was written a little better. Hopefully it can improve as this run approaches its conclusion.

A solid story for a one-shot tie-in. Listen, I understand why some people at Marvel may have thought that Earls would be a good fill-in artist for Nic Klein on Johnson's main Hulk series, but I do really think he needs to be replaced after how some of his pages have turned out, whether it's here or in the aforementioned main series.

I thought this was a pretty solid start to the series (if you don't count #0 as the start) and an improvement over Issue #0. Coipel's art is a huge step-up from Travel Foreman's art previously, which was one of my main issues with the #0. As for the writing, it's able to keep me interested in the story just enough to keep reading, even if this felt a little slow at times. All things considered, I still think this series has potential and I hope it's able to fully realize it sooner rather than later.

This was a big step up from the past two issues. I wouldn't go as far as to call it the best issue of the series, but it does give me hope once again for this run. I wholeheartedly agree with what Psycamorean said in their review, in that this feels like a conclusion of an arc that will give way to a fresh start. Hopefully that proves to be true with Issue 6.

Not the strongest issue of the series, but definitely one that's still interesting. I don't really know how I feel about this taking more of a soap opera route when it comes to the twist on the final page. However, I'll keep an open mind to it and I just hope it gives way for a good story

While I did like this issue, I also think it's definitely the weakest issue yet. I hope this isn't a sign of things to come for this title in Fall of X, but this feels a little unfocused, in my opinion. The stuff with Sebastian and Selene was interesting, but then we moved to the stuff with Hope, Exodus, Destiny, and Mother Righteous, which was solid, but nothing more. Plus, although Medina is a good artist, I'm really missing Lucas Werneck's art here. Luckily he's supposed to come back in the next issue. Moving back to the story, it does provide some intriguing ideas and concepts, and I'm interested to see what comes of Apocalypse's upcoming return, I agree with what KittyNone said in their review, in that this feels like less than the sum of its parts. Overall, while this was a solid issue by itself that is able to maintain my interest, it's also, unfortunately, a bit of a disappointment when thinking about how fantastic the rest of the series has been up to this point.

This was a fairly solid issue, but I do feel very similar to how I felt with the previous one, in that I found myself interested in the pages with Xavier and Sinister, but not so much with Mother Righteous, Exodus, Destiny, etc. There are certainly some intriguing ideas present here, I just wish everything came together nicer, especially for the final issue of a series I was really loving before Fall of X. That said, I'm still looking forward to X-Men: Forever and Rise of the Powers of X, both from Gillen.

I really hope this isn't a sign of things to come for this series. Don't get me wrong, this was a solid issue. However, it felt like it dragged a little bit in certain places, in my opinion. I do still think Earls's art is good, but I also understand how some people may be disappointed by the change from Nic Klein. Either way, I hope this arc finishes out strong with the next issue and I'm really looking forward to Klein returning with the following one.

I liked it for what it was, but I think it would have really benefitted from having a different artist. I don't think Earls is necessarily a bad artist or anything. I just think that, perhaps, his talents would be better suited on another book. That said, I did like the story and the writing a good amount.

I liked this issue as a whole, but I would have to classify it as the weakest issue of the series so far for me. I think it could be attributed to the way this book was formatted. I didn't dislike it or anything, but the fact that nearly every page (aside from one splash page) was a full page of art with no panels was a bit jarring. I'm not sure if I'm using that word correctly, but it kind of threw me off, if that makes more sense. This was the fastest I've read a book in a while, which isn't a bad thing. I just wish this had a little more substance to it.

I really just don't get the amount of hate for this book. It's not the greatest book ever published, but it's still entertaining. I will say that I'd like it to get back on track with the premise we were given in the first few issues, but I can't really call this bad when I enjoyed it. The backup story wasn't the best from this book either, but it was fun.

This was a fun start to this miniseries that I think could have been a bit better. This isn't due to the writing, as that was the strongest part of this and the main reason I'm sticking around. What taints this for me a bit is the art. Mostly, it's good, solid art. However, there are a couple of pages where certain things look kind of wonky. The first time I really noticed it was when Alex jumps up from behind the table starts shooting in the restaurant. She looked like she didn't have a neck and her face looked kind of weird in general. Nonetheless, I thought this provided an entertaining story with some well-written dialogue, even if the art wasn't the best.

The newest volume of Killer Queens maintains the fun tone set by the previous miniseries. The new story is certainly interesting with the introduction of Alex's sibling, and I'm looking forward to learning more about their past together. One thing I liked here more than the previous run was the art. It's not the greatest art in the world, but it was a definite improvement over what we ere getting before. Overall, this was a nice start to the new Killer Queens series and I'm intrigued to see how this story develops.

I pretty much feel the same about this issue as I did about the previous one. I thought the story was fun, but the art was a little lackluster. One example of this is, for some reason, seen on the back of the back, in which Max looks off to the side and he looked crosseyed. This also happens earlier when the pink alien looks back at Max after he told his story. The story is what makes this, though, as this is just a fun story that is engaging throughout.

A really solid issue here in what might be my favorite one yet. What the story is representing is pretty clear, to me, but it’s handled nicely. I feel a little indifferent towards the art. While I do like it better than what we were getting in the previous series, there’s still scenes that look better than others. However, if you’ve read my other reviews for this series, you’ll know that I’m mainly here for Booher’s writing anyways.

This miniseries continues to maintain a fun pace with its writing as we head into the final issue. This was the fastest read for me, but I still found this entertaining. We get some interesting character moments here as well, especially for Max. Plus, the art isn't as distracting as it's been in the two previous issues. There are still some instances I noticed that looked a little wonky, but it's not present as much as it has been.

With this issue, the miniseries ends on a fun note, which is perfectly fitting. This wasn't the most complex or grand book by any means, but it's still a fun read that's worth your time. The art still isn't the best, but the writing here is what really makes this enjoyable. Things are kind of wrapped up quickly, but the series was already only four issues. Nonetheless, this was a fun miniseries and that's all it needed to be.

I think this worked better than the previous issue. I enjoyed the art more this time around and I thought the style fit in with he story being told. I believe that what makes this an improvement over Issue 1 is that the story here made more sense and the art was more consistent. This wasn't the greatest book or anything, but it was an enjoyable read. However, I'm still very much looking forward to Wilson's regular Poison Ivy series continuing next month.

I'm thinking it might have just been me, but this issue got a little confusing for me at times with the dream logic, if that makes sense. However, this was still an enjoyable read for me. Despite my confusion, I still thought Waid handled the story well enough to get through this for the line-wide crossover. My main gripe with this is the art, unfortunately. Cruz's best moment here is the splash page of Mary's face in the burning house, but everything else ranges from good to meh. I wasn't a big fan of his art whenever he was on Jeremy Adams's Flash run, and he hasn't changed my mind with this issue. I'm just glad the story is entertaining.

The Shazam! tie-in for Knight Terrors ends on a good note. I'm not a big fan of Cruz's art, but I thought Waid's story was good enough. It wasn't anything extraordinary, but it was still entertaining. I thought it was a nice story about Mary helping her family members when they needed it and then them doing the same for her. It was nice, but I'm really looking forward to getting back to the regular Shazam! run from Waid and Dan Mora, as it's been super interesting thus far.

A little upset about Knight Terrors screwing with DC's lineup, but this wasn't bad. Reilly's art might be the main highlight of this issue. Reilly is an especially great artist when the setting of the book is in the past, as seen with his work on Al Ewing's Ant-Man miniseries, which is why I really liked his stuff in the beginning of the story. The story itself here was cool, but not quite up with the quality of Williamson's main Superman series right now.

The second-half of this miniseries is solid, just like the first issue. Reilly's art is, once again, one of this book's strongest points, if not THE strongest. Williamson's story is fun, but I'm ready to get back to the regular series of this, just like all of the other titles DC paused for Knight Terrors.

I think there a lot of great ideas here and I know Spurrier is capable of something more, as seen with the Way of X series I've mentioned in my reviews of the previous two issues, but this isn't quite reaching those same heights with me. I really liked the stuff with Juggernaut and Legion here, but I was left a bit underwhelmed by the stuff with Nightcrawler, Blindfold, and Zsen. I really hope that the team is able to pull things together here and make this a little more focused. With how the issue ended, I think we may be on our way to getting there.

As much as I enjoy a lot of the ideas being presented here, I still believe that everything needs to be pulled together in a better way. I enjoyed the stuff with Legion talking to Charles and I also really liked the conversation between Nightcrawler and Zsen. However, the way this issue, as a whole, was executed doesn't feel as cohesive as I'd like it to be. I know I keep talking about Way of X in my reviews of this series, but I'm just really hoping things can get back to those heights soon.

This was easily the worst issue of the series thus far for me, but it wasn't bad by any means. I think Duggan continues to show that he has a great voice for Kate and I liked a good amount of the heartfelt moments throughout this issue. Plus, Lolli provided some pretty nice art. My gripes with this come from the fact that I thought this was a relatively quick read compared to the previous eleven issues and I also just wasn't into the overall story here as much as said previous issues. That said, though, it's realy nice to have Kate back and I'm looking forward to seeing more of her as this series continues.

Pretty solid. Peralta's art continues to be this book's strongest aspect, in my opinion, though I also found the story to be written better and just more interesting here. I believe Hill has stated that he's a big horror fan, so I'm not surprised to see that gnarly page with the vampire ripping his skin off and chasing the nurse. It was, in fact, pretty crazy. Aside from that, I hope the upwards trajectory of this book continues as it wraps up with the next issue.

Miles teaming up with Blade and Bloodline was fun, but I'd have to also call this the worst issue of the series, unfortunately. I liked this, but I also felt as though the writing wasn't Ziglar's best. As for the art, I think Mancin did good in her first job at Marvel, though I do think there's still a fair amount of room for improvement. I'm very excited for Federico Vicentini to return with the next issue.

Another of the weaker issues, unfortunately, though, I do think that this was a solid ending to this current storyline before the title ties-in with Gang War. I wasn’t all that into the crossover with Blade to start, but it was entertaining enough to keep reading, and that reigns true here, in my opinion. Speaking of Gang War, I’m really excited to see how it turns out. I just hope that it doesn’t weigh this book down.

A pretty solid issue here, but I will say that it did move a bit fast for me. Maybe it was just me, but I felt as though Ziglar really breezed through a lot of story here. Though, Vicentini's art was nice here, as always. I just hope things slow down just a bit in the next issue.

This was another fast-paced issue for the series and while that's not necessarily a bad thing, I think it did take away from my enjoyment of the book this time around. Maybe it's because Gang War hasn't lived up to the expectations I initially had for it, but I just wasn't feeling this storyline like I was with the first two.

Not my favorite issue, but I appreciated it for what it was. Ziglar can't really start a new story arc with Blood Hunt coming up in the next few issues, though you could also argue that this could have been used to set something up in those tie-ins. We got the pages with Hightail at the end, but there could have been more in that regard. Either way, this was a solid story, but nothing incredibly memorable. The writing felt a little off at times, but maybe that's just me.

Far from a bad issue on its own, but still not the strongest compared to the rest of the series. That said, this is good. I appreciated that this picked up right after Miles and Dracula went chasing after Brielle at the end of Blood Hunt #3, and I thought the writing was solid. The art wasn't my absolute favorite, especially when keeping Federico Vicentini's in mind, but it was still fairly solid.

This was a fun start to this miniseries. It's pretty straightforward with its story and dialogue, but that doesn't make it bad. The art here is solid, and the story throughout just feels like a classic comic book adventure. While this was good, I was really hoping it would be as good as Jed MacKay's current Moon Knight run, with this coming out of Issue 25. While it doesn't reach those heights, it's still solid and entertaining.

The best issue of the series thus far. The story is fairly compelling and entertaining, but what stands out the most here for me is Godlewski's art, which looks better than ever. I really liked his work in Ed Brisson's relatively recent Alpha Flight miniseries, so I was glad to see him working here. All things considered, I hope the next issue ends this miniseries strongly, while also giving us an idea of where Ms. Marvel goes from here.

A pretty solid conclusion to a miniseries that really felt more like a short ongoing. It would be cool if Vellani and Pirzada were writing the new NYX book, but I'm also interested to see where Collin Kelly & Jackson Lanzing go with it. As for this, it was good and enjoyable for what it was. Seeing the Inhumans was nice, and I really hope Marvel uses them more going forward, though I'm doubtful.

I've been vocal in past reviews about how I'm not particularly thrilled about Kamala Khan being a mutant, but it's also not something I'm going to use as an excuse to trash on a book. In the case of this issue, I thought it was pretty solid. Some of the writing feels a little basic to me, but I'm giving the Vellani the benefit of the doubt since this is her first time writing a comic. As for Pirzada, the only thing I've currently read from him was Dark Web: Ms. Marvel (which was solid as well, in my opinion). The story itself here isn't anything new, as a lot of it deals with Kamala trying to balance the different aspects of her life and dealing with her recently finding out she's a mutant, but it's written well enough for me to keep reading. I wasn't the biggest fan of the art in the dream sequences, but I did enjoy the present-day art. Speaking of dream sequences, I thought the story being told there was interesting, as she feels like she's forced to choose between the Champions, the Avengers, the Inhumans, and the X-Men. All in all, while the story presented to us isn't anything truly unique, it's still a pretty solid read and I plan on sticking around for the rest.

I don't think that I really have that much to say about this one other than that I thought it was really solid and that I think all of the characters are written well. I'm not sure how I feel about the Doctor Surfer character, but I'm still interested enough to see where this goes.

This was a lot better than the previous issue. The first issue set up an interesting story and the second issue was just weird and felt out of place. However, the story feels back on track here. Things feel more focused, and we actually get some intriguing character work here. I can only hope that the next issue keeps the momentum going.

I would call this the weakest issue of the series thus far, but it was still really solid. I'm still interested in this current story Brisson's telling, especially with this new Carnelian mutant and the conflicts between Krakoa and Carnelia. I also enjoyed Flaviano's art a good amount. What makes me go lower than the usual 8/10 is that I just didn't find this particular issue's story quite up to the same standard as the last two issues.

This debut issue was a solid read, but it's also probably my least favorite of Spurrier's Nightcrawler work thus far. I think there are a lot of good and interesting ideas here, but they don't really come together in a way that fully realizes its potential. It was still good, though, and I just hope it improves with the other two issues.

A pretty solid start here. This is my first time fully reading a Kirby book, per my dad's recommendation, but I had a bit of an idea as to what to expect, especially in terms of dialogue considering that this is from the 1970's. Anyways, this was weird in a good way and I think the sci-fi world we're introduced to here is interesting from the start. I'm wondering if this is going to have an overarching story, or if it's just purely going to be one-off stories each issue. Either way, I'm intrigued to see where this one goes.

Not quite as good as the previous two issues, but I still enjoyed this. I was not ready to read about a villain who gets his powers from cocaine, but here we are. I can't pinpoint any particular reason(s) why this wasn't as good, in my opinion, as Issues 2 & 3. All I can say is that it just didn't work as well for me this time around. Hopefully this isn't a sign of things to come and that his miniseries is able to get back on track.

This was a book that I was really unsure about going into it. I really enjoyed the previous Punisher series with Jason Aaron, so I was interested when a new series was announced. Seeing David Pepose as the writer didn't give me a ton of hope. Don't get me wrong, he's not a terrible writer or anything, but it's documented that I'm not the biggest fan of his current City of the Dead miniseries with Moon Knight. Plus, I didn't really know how to feel about the new lead character either. His name (Joe Garrison) didn't really stick out to me like "Frank Castle" does, but I was willing to give this a chance. With all of that out of the way, I can say I actually enjoyed this a fair amount. It's far from my favorite book, but it reminds me of his first City of the Dead issue, in that it feels more like a classic comic book at times, particularly with some of the dialogue. I just hope this run doesn't follow the same trend of City of the Dead, in that I've like each issue that follows less and less. Either way, this was a solid debut issue that gained my interest and will have me, at least, reading the next one. Also, Wachter's art is pretty good throughout the whole thing.

While the art wasn't my favorite at times, I still thought this was a pretty solid start for this miniseries. While the story was good here, I was most intrigued by Curse. I know she was created relatively recently, but I don't remember reading anything with her in it up to this point. I do plan on reading Gerry Duggan's Marauders run at some point, which I've come to find out is where she firs appeared. Either way, I found her abilities very interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing where her side of the story goes. As for everyone else, I thought they were written well and I especially enjoyed Typhoid Mary. Come to think of it, this series is filled with characters I don't know that much about, but I still thought this was entertaining and I'm looking forward to what comes next.

There's a lot of very interesting ideas here, but the execution is a little lackluster, unfortunately. I liked this as a whole, though. Curse has been a super intriguing character to me since Issue 1 and I enjoyed the pages with her, Magik, and Saturynne here. I liked the brief interaction between Dust and Marrow as well, plus the moment with Northstar trying to contact Sif. Thinking more about it, this started off fine, but it picked up more for me in the later half of the issue. Hopefully the next issue provides a satisfying conclusion.

A pretty solid start here. This was far from perfect, but I liked what we got. Bazaldua's art isn't the best here, but I think she really shines when drawing Red Goblin. As for Paknadel's story, it's definitely interesting. I really like the concept of Normie's symbiotic being like a baby/puppy, and I'm looking forward to seeing how that develops.

I pretty much feel the same way with this issue as I did with Issue #1. Good, entertaining stuff, but the writing and the art could be a bit better. Once again, Bazaldua shines when drawing Red Goblin. Paknadel's writing is the strongest part of this book and, while I'm interested to see how this current story develops, I think this series has the potential to be a lot better than it currently is.

Once again with this series, this book is a solid read. Of course, I do think that there's a lot here that could be better, but it's still good. It's difficult for me to come up with something unique to say with each issue, as I've found myself feeling generally the same about all four issues so far.

A solid issue here, even with the Carnage Reigns crossover kind of derailing this title a little bit. The focus is more-so on Miles and Cletus, which would be fine if this wasn't Normie's book. Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to issues taking the focus off of the main character to highlight someone else, but I'm not really sure why this series is tying-in with the Carnage Reigns crossover to begin with. I'm just hoping Normie's encounters with Cletus and Miles lead to something worth while in the upcoming issues.

While the cover to this issue is awesome, what we got inside is just solid, much like the rest of the series. The story continues to be fairly entertaining, although one of my main gripes with this book comes from the way Normie talks in his inner monologue. Of course, the premise of this entire book isn't realistic, but I just don't buy a child like Normie would use the words he uses in his inner monologue. Maybe he's just smarter than other kids, but it just doesn't feel like a child speaking whenever I read this. Either way, I still enjoyed what we got here.

My feelings on this series haven't seemed to change very much, and that remains true here. A solid story with some solid art that could be a bit better. I did like Miles in this issue and I'm looking forward to more of him in this series, presumably with the next issue, at least.

A step-up from the previous issue right back to the usual quality from this series. The art still isn't my favorite, but it worked better for me here than it did in Issue 8. Plus, the story is definitely interesting. Rascal digging up Harry was kind of weird, but I understood the point. Either way, I'm looking forward to seeing how this wraps up in the next issue.

A solid finale for what it was, but also the weakest issue of the series for me. It's a shame, because I was enjoying this series more than the previous one, but both have an ending that's a little underwhelming, at least in my opinion. I know I sound down on this, but I didn't think it was bad or anything, hence my rating. I don't know, I just felt as though everything was wrapped up a little too quickly.

Kinda lame that this wasn't really an ending, at least it wasn't in my opinion. I, personally, think this should have just added more issues if its main story was going to continue. That said, this was solid. Though, it also the weakest issue of the series for me, which is especially unfortunate considering how strong it started. Hopefully what comes next steps things up a bit.

I wasn't super crazy about this debut, but I still liked it. I'm not sure why Marvel decided to relaunch this with the "Sensational" title, especially when there wasn't really much else that changed here. This felt more like She-Hulk #16 instead of Sensational She-Hulk #1. Either way, I'm interested by how Jen and Jack's relationship is progressing, as well as the possible doubts Jen seems to be feeling. I do think the ending was a little random and sudden, but I'm intrigued to see why Bruce is being brought into this. As for the backup, it was nice, but I don't really think it was needed.

Here's the thing about this issue. The main story on its own would make this issue get a solid 8/10 from me. However, I just did not care at all about the backup. I don't really know what the point of it was, and it just hinders my feelings towards this issue as a whole. Hopefully this series either drops having a backup story or the backups get better if Marvel decides to keep them on.

While the story here felt a little jam-packed, I did also think this was a nice debut for Campbell on the series. At the time of this writing, this is the first and only book I've read from her and I believe she did a solid job. I think she showcase a good understanding of the characters, and I also appreciated that she took Mark Waid's run and built upon it rather than just ignoring it since she's taking over the writing duties. Overall, I thought this was a good start for Campbell's run and I think it has the potential to be pretty fun.

Pretty good issue following the previous one's ending. The now-strained relationship between Jen and Jack was done well, as was Jen's heartbreak about Jack's situation. The more romantic direction of this book was done good in this issue, and I'm looking forward to seeing how Jen and Jack's relationship progresses and what comes of April and Mark in the upcoming issues.

The first half of this issue was well done. The brief Fight Club interaction was a fun opening. Jen and Jack trying to work through the new complications of their relationship was enjoyable. I did like Jen using Reed's call as an opportunity to create some distance, but the second half of this issue drags it down for me just a bit. Nothing was bad whatsoever, but it felt like an odd turn to randomly introduce this new character. However, I trust Rowell to make everything tie back together in some shape of form, and the last few pages made me intrigued to see what happens next. Plus, the art was a huge step up from the last couple issues.

The main story here was good, but it did feel like a very sudden end to make room for the second story (Which I might have actually liked more than the main story). For me, the second story resonated more and I found the art nicer than the previous story (although the art there wasn't bad by any means). Hopefully things pick up with Issue 13, as this has been one of my favorite runs currently.

For whatever reason, this worked a bit better for me than Issue 1. It was odd that Silk kind of took a backseat for this issue, but I did enjoy whenever she was on the page. As for the rest of the issue, I thought it was good and I'm still interested to see where everything's going. We got a little more information here, but I'm hoping we get more in the next issue. While the writing is solid, I particularly like the art here and I'd really like to see more from Guara.

A pretty solid debut issue. I wasn't a huge fan of Balám's art, but the story from Flores was interesting. It's far from revolutionary or anything, but it's a fairly simple premise that I think was written well enough to maintain my attention. Either way, the Nakayama cover is awesome.

A solid debut here. I feel a bit indifferent towards Borelli’s art. Foxe’s writing is what makes this more enjoyable for me. The story here isn’t anything groundbreaking, but it’s interesting enough for me to stick around. I’m mainly looking forward to more about Jessica’s son, but everything else was good as well.

A pretty solid issue here that just misses the 8/10 mark for me. That said, I thought that this was possibly the best issue Foxe has written for this series. I believe this is the best Foxe has written Jessica up to this point, which is a big part of why I would call this the best issue of the run so far. Plus, while my memory is a little foggy, Borelli's may have been the best it's been in this series thus far as well. I think what may be stopping me from giving this that 8/10 is the reveal at the end. I kind of knew that twist was coming, but I still don't really know how I feel about it. I think it may have been better if it was a clone of Jessica's son, but that's just me. Either way, I'm still interested enough to keep reading and I hope the series continues to improve.

I think this had the potential to be better, but I thought it was still fairly good for what it was. I am interested in the story between Jessica and Gerry, and I thought the way this ended between them, for now, was good and leaves the door open for my exploration later on.

I hate to say it, especially with Daniel Warren Johnson included here, but I would say this was the weakest issue of the miniseries so far. After Aaron & Kirk's story really picked up in the previous issue, the quality goes back down a lot here. It felt like nothing really happened aside from Vader arriving at the end. I don't know that I blame Aaron for that, though, as it feels like his story was only a few pages. As for Johnson, his art alone is worth the read. It's crazy and somewhat all over the place, but it was entertaining. As for the final story from Bernardin & Raffaele, I thought it was just solid. It felt a little out of place with the rest of the stories in the series so far, which doesn't make it a bad story, but there was just something a bit off about it. Nonetheless, I'm hoping the next and final issue brings the quality of this back up.

A fun middle issue for this miniseries. This space adventure did a solid job of conveying the effects of the past 90 years on the characters, and I enjoyed seeing their plan being put into place. I always love seeing Storm being badass, and it's why she's one of my absolute favorite Marvel mutants, if not my top favorite. This also leads to me not wanting her death to come at the end of the issue, but as long as it works for the story. Plus, not many stay dead in comics for long (Especially since we're going back to the normal timeline/timeframe after the next issue).

I didn't have incredibly high expectations for this book when it was announced, but I have to say that I thought this was a pretty solid start. My relatively lower expectations aren't meant as an insult. I just don't think I've read much, if anything at all, from either Maines or Barrows. This is far from a perfect book, but I think Maines did a fairly nice job here. I especially enjoyed the interaction between Dreamer and Amanda before the mission began.

A solid issue where I really liked the latter half where Dreamer confronted Amanda. Aside from that, the art from Barrows was a bit hit-or-miss for me. That one panel with Dreamer screaming at Amanda was a little terrifying.

A solid issue as a whole, but I especially liked the ending. I don't have much to say about the issue, but what I will talk about in this review has spoilers for the Twilight franchise (yes, the one with vampires and werewolves), so steer clear if you still plan on watching that (even though it's 2024) and you don't want spoilers. I'm not a huge fan of the movies, but, my favorite part about them is the twist in the final movie, in which the big fight between the two groups of vampires turns out to have merely been a vision that faked out the viewers. All of this to say that the ending of this book reminded me of that, which is specifically why I liked it.

Pretty solid overall. I will say that the action between Sam and Superman felt a little weird at times, with one example being when Superman is randomly above Sam and punching him in the face on one page, even though Sam was pummeling him on the page prior. Maybe I missed something there, though. This did also feel a bit rushed at times, but I did enjoy this issue as. whole.

This was fun for what it was, but I don’t know that I needed it. Redondo’s art continues to be one of the strongest aspects of this book, which makes it kind of suck that he’s leaving after this issue. Though, David Baldeón is a good artist, so I’m hoping for good things in that regard for upcoming issues. As for the ending of this issue, I’m not really sure how i feel about the Lex Luthor Revenge Squad, but I’m willing to give it a chance.

Another solid issue. I wasn’t all that into the family drama with Lex, but it was still good for what it was. As for the art, Baldeón’s work is stronger in certain spots than others, but there wasn’t anything bad at all.

A solid conclusion. I wish I could say that I loved Baldeón’s art, but it was just solid. Hopefully Rafa Sandoval’s works better for me as we get into House of Brainiac.

Still not the strongest issue of this storyline, but still pretty solid and enjoyable nonetheless. Brainiac Queen is interesting to me, but I don’t know that I see her lasting long.

A solid start to this Absolute Power tie-in storyline. I'm glad to see Zatanna being used and I'm interested to see her side of the book with Clark going forward. I wasn't incredibly into the part with Jimmy, Siobhan, and the Luthors, but I do think it has some potential. In any case, it's great to have Campbell back on the art duties.

This continues to be solid, but nothing spectacular. Campbell's art is probably the best part of this for me, and it's a shame he won't be on the book following this storyline. Though, I can't really complain about Dan Mora being the main series artist, either. Aside from that, I hope this wraps up well.

This was a fun issue as a whole, but I do think the execution could have been a lot better. The banter between Peter and Miles is entertaining, but I also think it can become a little much at times. Though, I do like it overall. The biggest factor that drags down my score a bit is the constant shift between "then" and "now." The stories in both times were good, but I felt like the story kept unnecessarily jumping around. Hopefully Weisman can improve upon that within the next few issues. As for Ramos, I think he did a really solid job here. All things considered, I believe there's a lot of potential for this series to get better and I hope it does.

Killer art from Nic Klein, as per usual. This issue was solid for the most part, but kicked up towards the end during the confrontation between Thor and Glaive. Intrigued to see what's up with the "lightning wolves" at the end. As for the final page, I'm very excited to see how this Doom & Thor story unfolds!

Not quite an 8, but still a pretty good issue. The writing is solid, and Nic Klein's art is once again outstanding. Klein seems to always kill it with his larger illustrations (My personal favorite from this issue being when Mjölnir bursts right through the Nidhogg's eye). I wasn't expecting Hela to team with Doom, but it adds another layer to the story that makes me a bit more intrigued to see where this is all heading.

While I do think that an issue with Thor, Doom, and Thanos should be a lot better and/or crazier, this was still good. This is one of my favorite issues of Grønbekk's Thor so far, and it's a shame that it's ending with the next issue just as things were getting more interesting to me. She was given a tough task with this "mini-run" of sorts.

Out of the two "post-Cates" annuals, this is the one I enjoyed more. The art here from Roberson was great and I think it really fit with the story. Speaking of which, Kelly & Lanzing's story was enjoyable. It wasn't my absolute favorite from them, but I was still entertained by Thor fighting M.Y.T.H.O.S. and I also enjoyed his interaction with Peter. I'm still not sure how I feel about Immortal Thor after reading the preview/prologue at the end of the book, but I'm interested enough to check it out. If anything, I really like Coccolo's art.

This is nothing spectacular by any means, but it's still a charming, solid book. The characters all have potential to be compelling and, aside from the main story with the gem, this sets up an interesting story for Taegukgi of him exploring his origins and his roots. Something I especially like about this book is that it shows that superheroes don't just exist in North America. Yes, there are characters from different continents, but most of the comics coming out today are based in the United States or North America. I think it's really cool that a series such as this allows readers to explore characters whose stories take place in different countries and continents. All things considered, this did enough for me to get me on board for the ride and I'm intrigued to see how this story develops.

This was another enjoyable issue that deviates from the psylot gem plot introduced in the previous issue in order to explore Taegukgi's past. Seeing him basically being adopted and then turning down into a darker path of crime was interesting to read. Hyung showing up at the end generates some intrigue from me as well.

A little bit of a slower issue, but still good nonetheless. Nothing here was particularly new or groundbreaking, but it was all solid. Segovia was also a pretty good fill-in artist, in my opinion.

Another solid issue. I think this storyline has potential and I'm looking forward to seeing it play out. I don't really have that much to say, honestly. I am glad to see Meyer as the ongoing series artist, as I think he's proved to be a pretty good pick already.

A pretty solid issue that kind of acts as a setup for the finale of this storyline in the next issue. It was nice to see Swamp Thing again and I still think it would be cool for him to join the team going forward, especially since he doesn't have his own book at the moment. Either way, with next issue also being the last issue for Taylor on the writing duties, I hope everything gets wrapped up nicely.

I wasn’t as into this as the rest of the story, unfortunately. This just wasn’t as interesting to me, which is why my score is 0.5 lower than the first three issues and even the latest issue of Taylor’s Titans run (#6). Though, I will say that I really liked Meyer’s art and I thought the ending was super interesting.

I'm glad we finally got more of Captain Krakoa here, though I was a bit disappointed to not have much follow-up to the Kingpin reveal from the last issue. Either way, this was a solid book, just like the rest of the series has been. Hopefully the next issue brings everything together nicely.

I think this came together nicely enough. I think this series had the potential to be something much better, but this was far from bad. The pages with Deadpool were fun and I think Duggan writes Captain America solidly. It was also cool for Rogue to have a relatively big moment in the series by sacrificing herself, even if Deadpool was there to keep her alive in the end.

Perhaps I spoke too soon when I said "we are so back" in my review of the first issue. I really enjoyed that one, but we haven't gotten anything meeting that standard since, unfortunately. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the previous issue and this one, but it's continued to drop in quality for me. I'm not super into the romantic story with Silver Sable, but I did enjoy the stuff with Vulture and Nimrod. I am interested by the Vulture/Warlock hybrid of sorts seen at the end of this issue, so hopefully this is just a minor bump in the road.

While I don't agree with their score, I do agree with what Derby stated in their review about Peter Parker, in that he was the best part of this issue for me. Everything else here was solid, but I'm not all that into the romance storyline with Nightcrawler and Silver Sable. I also think it was a little weird to have a whole page just saying "and they do" so Nightcrawler's conversation with Mystique can be in the X-Men: Blue one-shot. I feel like that could have been an editor's note with the page being filled with something else.

I love thinking of this as the title of the Bleeding Cool article about it: "When your mom hits on your girlfriend." That was definitely the weirdest part about this. Aside from that, this was a solid conclusion to this miniseries. While it wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be after the great first issue, I still liked this as a whole and I thought the last few pages were written nicely, especially.

An improvement over the previous two issues under V. (#3 & #4), but still not quite the best this series has seen. I was more interested in Dylan's story this time around and I really hope his side of this run continues to experience an upwards trajectory. I will say that I wish we had more Al Ewing writing Eddie at this point. Aside from the first issue that was written by both Ewing and V., four out of five issues thus far have been written by V. and only one out of five have been written by Ewing. I think switching back and forth every issue might be a better way to go with this concept, as Eddie's current story has felt a bit ignored at times. It also doesn't help the the next issue is also a Dylan-focused one written by V.

I don't know how I feel about the sleeper agent part of this, but I did like the stuff with Dylan inside the "symbiote mindscape" or whatever it's called. I thought this was more interesting than other issues V. has written in this series, although I still believe his content isn't really up there with Ewing's work on this title.

A solid issue here. I hate to say it, but I'm starting to dread whenever V. is writing an issue. It's not because he's not good at writing, as I typically enjoy his work and I do think his story with Dylan in this series is pretty solid. It's just that Al Ewing absolutely kills it just about every time he writes this book. I like V. as a writer, but I really do wish this series just had Ewing writing it. As much as I like V., Ewing's writing is just much more interesting when it comes to this series.

I still miss whenever Al Ewing is writing this series, but this issue wasn't bad by any means. I do believe that this was an improvement over her previous issue and I do think that Natasha with a symbiote is interesting, but I wish this tied in more with the story we've been getting previously. I think that maybe Ram V. leaving the title to sign exclusively with DC may have had a hand in derailing previous plans for this series, but I just wish this was better. Hopefully everything ends up coming together nicely.

While still not the best this series has been, this was an enjoyable issue. Otha's art works really well here and I hope he sticks around for whenever Grønbekk is writing. I do think this story has promise, but I also think it could have some better execution, as much as I did enjoy it. Hopefully things pick up a bit with the next issue.

A pretty solid issue here. Eaton's art isn't my favorite, but it's also not at the level of Garry Brown's art in the last issue of Percy's X-Force (#18). I felt like he drew Louise mostly well, but Logan was a little more questionable. Speaking of Percy, though, I think the story started off strong and went down a little as time went on. I will say that I did like the ending, even if it being the end of the issue felt a bit sudden.

Another solid issue for the Vampire storyline. Eaton's art still isn't really my favorite, but it's not bad whatsoever. I especially liked the frame where Louise was looking up at Father Cole in the beginning. I did also like the "assassin" line from Omega Red. It probably wasn't really that funny, but it made me laugh.

A pretty solid issue, though it was a little slow at times. I do think Percy continues to write Logan well and I liked the interactions he had with Sevyr, despite it feeling a little rushed initially, despite my comment that this book was slow in certain instances. All that said, this story definitely has potential and I hope it picks up in the next issue.

A solid issue once again. Kubert's art continues to be really nice, and Percy's story is still fairly interesting. Some of the dialogue wasn't my absolute favorite, but there wasn't anything particularly bad or anything. Hopefully we get to see more of Solem soon, as I really enjoyed him in X of Swords.

A little bit of a mixed bag here, for me. I liked everything in this issue, but this just felt so much more interesting when it was focused on Jeff as opposed to the titular character. Percy just did a really good job with the writing on that front. As for Logan's side of things, everything was fairly enjoyable. I just didn't really find it as engaging as the other side. Hopefully that changes soon.

I liked Solem in X of Swords, but there was a lot more of him here than I expected. This was still good and interesting, but I wasn't as invested here as I was with the previous arc with Deadpool or even the last few issues of X-Force. Hopefully that changes soon, though. This series was just at a high point with the aforementioned Deadpool storyline.

Far from a bad read, but this continues the downward trajectory I mentioned in my review of Ghost Rider #17, unfortunately. I'm just not finding myself as interested as I was in the beginning. With only one part of this crossover left, I hope it can at least finish strong. Also, on a quick side note, I can't believe I missed Danny Ketch's helmet from the last Ghost Rider arc being the same as the Weapon X helmet. I do not know how I didn't realize that until reading this issue.

This was kind of a weird issue. I liked it as a whole, but I was fully expecting the hunt for Logan's clones to go across all of the issues of this arc. So, I'm interested to see where the rest of this current storyline goes. As for this issue itself, it did feel a little packed at times, especially with Logan and Bruce going from Canada to Japan to Madripoor. The art was pretty cool, though.

Not quite as good as the previous issue, but still good for what it was. Seeing Wolverine and Black Panther together was cool, and I thought they were written fairly well together. Of course, Storm had to come up at some point. I'm really looking forward to Spider-Man in the next issue, as I hope it can close out the arc strongly before we get into Sabretooth War.

The weakest issue of the series so far, which is unfortunate. It's not a bad issue on it's own, but it's such a hard left turn from what the last two issues were doing. I understand focusing on the Exiles and bringing them into the fold, but I was just hoping for a little more here with how explosive this arc started.

A step up from the previous issue, which is a good sign. Hopefully the upwards trajectory continues. That said, this issue could still be better. I appreciated seeing the perspectives of both Logan and Victor here, but I just wish the issue as a whole was a little more interesting. I don't know.

I feel very similarly to how I felt with the previous one. This wasn't a bad book whatsoever, but I also feel as though this could and should be stronger. I don't know. I really enjoyed the first two issues of this story, but everything else afterwards hasn't met those standards, at least in my opinion. With the arc and the run as a whole ending soon, I hope things can finish strong.

A nice improvement over the last issue, in my opinion. I'm really liking Ryp's art, for the most part, which isn't surprising considering I liked his work in Benjamin Percy's Wolverine series. In the writing department, I think Waltz does a super solid job with Logan, and I also liked the moments Louise got. We're only halfway through this miniseries, so I hope I continue to enjoy it more and more.

This continues to be one of the better tie-in miniseries for Blood Hunt, despite not really being connected to the bigger picture that much. Ryp's art, once again, fits Wolverine really well and Waltz's story is fairly entertaining.

Certainly not a bad issue, but I did find it to be the weakest of the run thus far. There were some nice character moments here, but I just wasn't as into this as everything else thus far. Sampere's art definitely continues to be a highlight, though.

I wasn't as into this as X Lives of Wolverine #1, but it's still good. Vicentini's interiors are solid and there are moments where his art really shines, though I don't know how well it fits as a whole with a book that seems to be a stealth one focused on Moira. Either way, it's far from bad. As for the story, I liked it. Yes, it's much more of a Moira book than a Wolverine book, but I still found it entertaining. I'm interested to see the larger connection between this miniseries and X Lives of Wolverine.

This has good stuff in it, but it's just not executed as well as it could be, in my opinion. The stuff with Moira was probably my favorite here in terms of the story, but the Wolverine stuff bringing in Laura, Scout, and Daken was far from bad. Some of the dialogue, particularly when Daken begins fighting with Logan, wasn't my absolute favorite. Vicentini's art fits a lot better with that half of the book, though, as there's more action.

Not as good as the first issue, in my opinion, but still cool for what it is. It feels a little all over the place for me with the amount of times it jumps through different time periods, but I didn't dislike anything here. Cassara's art is super solid, which should be a given. Hopefully the story comes together a little smoother going forward.

I’ve really been liking this series so far, but I just found this one a bit off, unfortunately. I still liked it, but I’d also label it as the weakest issue thus far. I can’t exactly pinpoint any specific gripes I have with it. It just didn’t hit like the previous nine issues. Hopefully this is just a minor bump in the road for what’s been a super enjoyable series up to this point.

I’m still not feeling this current story as much as I’d like, unfortunately. There are definitely some bright spots here, but I don’t feel it’s up to the standards previously set by this series. I’m also not the biggest fan of Bazaldua returning after having Joshua Cassara back for the last two issues. Though, I do prefer the art we got from them here as opposed to their previous art in this run.

I thought this was a good issue that could have been so much more. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed what we got here, but I felt as though the character developments for Kid Omega could have been handled better. Things started out relatively strong, but I wasn't the hugest fan of the direction it ended up going. I don't know. I just wish we got something deeper here.

This issue was definitely at its best when it was focused on Beast. Don't get me wrong, I didn't dislike the stuff with Mikhail or anything, but it just wasn't my favorite. I found it a little difficult to get as interested as I feel I should have. As for Beast, I've enjoyed his slow descent into his darker side. I'd like more of that as the series progresses.

A pretty solid read here in which I thought Percy did a good job of writing Kraven, once again. As multiple other users have stated in their own, respective, reviews, this didn't really feel all that satisfying after how the past few issues played out. Kraven randomly escaping at the end of the book was a little weird. This was nice, but it could have been a lot better, in my opinion.

A little surprised to find out that this storyline is ending so soon after the reveal of the Man with the Peacock Tattoo’s identity (literally one issue ago). That said, this was a little underwhelming, but I still liked it. I continue to like the focus on Domino and I hope that doesn’t go away moving forward.

This has some bright spots, but I do wish I liked this a bit more. I did enjoy this more than the last few issues, though. I don't know, I just wish this was written a bit better, because I do think a lot of the ideas here are good. Hopefully things come together a bit better as this storyline continues.

Certainly not a bad issue, but not the strongest from this series, either. Percy's story had its strong points, but I just couldn't really get into Picciotto's art here. It wasn't the worst or anything, but it just looked a bit too rough for me in certain spots. I'm glad to see that Robert Gill is returning in the next issue, and I hope that Beast's return means the level of quality for this series is rising back up, even if there isn't much longer to go.

A pretty solid issue here that I do think could have been a bit better. Regardless, I did think there was good stuff throughout this, particularly with Beast's clone. I'm sure, at least part of why, he's here to have Beast back as a hero for the post-Krakoa X-Men relaunch, but I do think he was handled well here and not just shoehorned in. I'm looking forward to seeing how this series wraps up.

Another solid issue as we near the conclusion of the series. This run coming to an end with the next issue feels a little weird, in my opinion, as it feels like there should be more to come than just one issue. Furthermore, I don't think Issue 50 has more pages than normal, unless I'm mistaken? I don't know, I just hope everything wraps up nicely in the next issue.

This was far from a bad read, don't get me wrong. However, I really wish this was a lot better than it was. I found the strongest part of this issue to be the interactions between the two different Beasts. Other than that, the action here was good throughout. I just wish this was a stronger conclusion, considering that this went for fifty issues. Hopefully the conclusion of Percy's Wolverine run is stronger than this was, as it's going to end up going for the same amount of issues as this.

This was kind of a weird one. I didn't dislike it, but this reads more like an issue of X-Men from the 90's than an issue of Hickman, Krakoan X-Men. That 90's feel is primarily attributed to Booth's art, but Hickman writes it that way as well. Like I said, I don't not like that about this, but I much prefer everything Hickman has done on this title previously as opposed to this. This did have some cool moments, though.

This was a fine issue, but not my favorite whatsoever. Wolverine’s stuff was cool, but my favorite part of this was the last few pages with Rogue. He interactions with Destiny and Rocket were well-written, and I can only hope we delve more into the ongoing plot very soon, as we’re 10 issues into this run.

This was a fun issue, but nothing special whatsoever. For me, some of this reads like generic dialogue, which is a shame considering that this is the first issue with the new team following the 2022 Hellfire Gala. However, it's saved by a fairly engaging adventure for them that ties into the Judgment Day event. I appreciated Iceman getting some time to shine here and I can only hope it's a sign of things to come.

Pretty good issue with the first part of the Brood storyline on the X-Men side of things. I've been liking the dynamic between Firestar and Iceman as of late, so I hope that can be shown in more depth at some point over the next few issues. As for Laura and Synch, I enjoyed seeing them put some of their skills learned from their time in the Vault to use. Overall, a solid start to X-Men's side of the Brood arc and I'm interested to see where things go from here, especially after that ending.

Another enjoyable issue from Duggan and Caselli. I will say that, although there is a lot going on here, it's still entertaining. I'm glad to see the return of Nightmare in this issue, as I enjoy him as a character and I remember enjoying his last appearance in the title (Issue 4). Plus, I didn't see the ending coming whatsoever. My only real complaint/criticism here would be, as multiple others have said in other reviews here, that there's just a bit too much happening in this book. I think this either needs to be a bigger book, or some of these stories need to be put on hold until the Brood stuff is finished. I hope things can get just a little more focused in the next issue or just very soon.

This was a step-down following the highly interesting Issue 22. I really liked what was being set up there, but this doesn't do that much to follow up on it, in my opinion. We get some nice stuff with Mother Righteous in the beginning, but then we cut to the X-Men fighting a Stark Sentinel. It was an entertaining battle, but I'm not entirely sure why it was there after little-to-nothing being said about his sentinels in the series beforehand. Perhaps I missed something, but the only reason I wasn't surprised to see this machine here was because I look at solicitations and I knew Tony's involvement with Fall of X is up ahead. It could also be the fact that, at the time of this writing, I haven't read anything from Duggan's Invincible Iron Man series. This isn't even mentioning that Scott and Jean are, apparently, taking a break from their relationship without it being mentioned before Scott just says it almost casually to Emma. Either way, I would very much like for this book on focus more on the adamantium skeleton situation introduced in the previous issue, as I'm really interested to see how that plays out.

Let's just get this out of the way now. Noto's art was fantastic here and it has to be the best part of this issue by far. Other than that, Duggan's story was a solid side quest of sorts, as others have been describing it. I did like the interactions between the Fantastic Four and Rasputin IV, though I'm not sure how much we needed this issue. At least we got that great art from Noto and an awesome cover from Joshua Cassara, who's art I'm looking forward to seeing in the couple of issues.

Another solid issue for this series under Fall of X, though I do feel as though this is a bit scattered at times. The first few pages of this issue with Gunfire were really intriguing, but there wasn't really any follow-up to it here whatsoever. The story with Firestar being forced to be a double agent was interesting, at least. I'm hoping that Doctor Doom's mutant team ends up being cool, as I'm not really sure how I feel about them currently based solely on their designs.

This was solid, but not my favorite. I think the idea of Doom's X-Men was better than the execution of it. I'm not opposed to seeing them in the future, though. I just thought their introductions and quick backstories were a little bit rushed since it was all in one issue alongside the main story. Cassara continues to put out great art, though.

It feels like there's a lot packed in this one. Maybe it's because Duggan is tasked with covering what a lot of different mutants are doing, but that doesn't change the fact that this feels a bit dense. Everything was good and entertaining, but I just wish there was a little more room to breathe. Cassara's art was really good though, as per usual.

While it is a little bit all over the place at times, this was still an enjoyable one-shot introducing the new X-Men team. I’ve stated this before in other reviews, but I’m not really a fan of the art changing mid-issue. It also doesn’t help when you have some of the art being fantastic, and some of it giving Emma Frost a weirdly large forehead. Going back to the story itself, the ideas presented here all provided intrigue, but I was mainly here for the reveal of the new team (which does look promising). Hopefully the flagship X-book has a clearer direction this time around, as Magik, Iceman, and Havok being on the team interests me.

The best of the X-Men one-shots for Blood Hunt, in my opinion. That said, this did feel a little crammed overall and I would have appreciated a bit of a slower pace, perhaps with certain aspects cut out. In any case, Gill's art was super solid throughout this.

Definitely the strongest issue of this miniseries. This time around, things didn't feel super dense and crammed, as we got a lot of good character work here, particularly with Destiny, Sinister, and Jean. Plus, Maresca's art was pretty nice here. I just wish the rest of the series could have felt like this.

A good, action-packed issue here. I really liked DIck taking charge and directing the rest of the heroes. Mora's art was also just fantastic throughout this. That said, I do wish this had a little more time to breathe. At times, it felt like we were just jumping around without much time to process everything going on.

I thought this was a pretty good prelude issue to the event. I'm glad Zdarsky and Williamson got stories in here relating to their, respective, current runs on Batman and Superman, though I'm a little confused as to why King didn't have something with Wonder Woman, considering she's part of the heroic trinity with the two aforementioned heroes. It's not like her series doesn't have any tie-in issues for the event. Either way, I thought everything here was built up well, and I thought all three stories were good, especially in terms of balancing being a lead-in to Absolute Power and being a solid story by itself. The way Jay acted in the first story was a little annoying, though.

Very good motivation for Amanda provided here. She's been a looming threat in the DC Universe for ages now, and I really appreciate this delving into her past. This had some pretty solid art as well, but Ridley's story is what really shines here. Of course, it could have been better, but I'm pretty happy with what we've gotten so far.

I really liked the Amazo robot here gaining will and the exploration of that. Everything else was good throughout this, including Santucci's art, but that aspect was definitely the highlight of this issue. Hopefully the rest of the series continues to get better from here, as I've liked each issue better than the last so far.

A pretty solid start here. I’m gonna give this a little bit of a higher score than the more recent issues of Williamson’s current Superman series, since I liked Sandoval’s art a lot. All things considered, though, I’m definitely interested to see where this story goes.

A pretty good opener that does a good job of establishing emotional stakes for this series from the start. As a fan of Taylor's run with Son of Kal-El, I'm glad to see this continuation maintain quality. I'm not quite sure how I feel about the Injustice universe coming into play soon, but I'm a fan of both of the games, so hopefully everything works out. Excited to see where this mini goes from here!

Man, this book is two-for-two on having a good ending. However, I will say this one's ending is better. Not sure how I feel about Ultraman getting his neck snapped out of nowhere like that, but good lord was it done well. Plus, as I alluded to earlier, Injustice Superman's final words of the issue were fantastic. As for the rest of the book, I enjoyed the conversation between Jay and Lois, as it gave a look into what it's like for the both of them in being with a superhero. This was just solid, good stuff all around.

This wasn't quite as powerful as the previous issue, but I did enjoy it a good amount. The overarching story of the murder mystery was interesting, though I especially enjoyed the interactions between Alan and Spectre. You could argue that it's a little bit preachy, but I thought it was fairly well-written. Tormey continues to do a really nice job with the art as well, especially with Spectre.

I thought this was a well-done origin of Red Lantern here. I honestly don't really understand how some people can dislike this as much as I've seen. It's not anything groundbreaking or incredibly unique, but I think it's still an interesting and fairly well-written story. I think Sheridan did a good job with the dynamic between Alan and Vlad. I also thought it was pretty funny that Alan lured Vlad in just to absolutely deck him in the mouth.

I liked this one more than the previous issue, as this just reached the 8/10 mark for me. For whatever reason, I just found the story a bit more interesting and more well-written this time around. Godlewski's art continues to be nice as well. I hope the quality of this series continues to go up or, at least, stay the same as it is currently.

A solid issue that really picked up towards the second half. I very much agree with what DerbyComics stated in their review, in that this is dealing much more with a larger narrative than a good chunk of the other Fall of X runs have. While others have felt more self-contained within each issue, this continues to build one ongoing story and it does so nicely. That's something I really like about this miniseries and I hope it continues until the end.

I wasn't the biggest fan of how this ended, but I did think the issue was really solid as a whole. There's nothing really new for me to say about this issue that I haven't already brought up in my reviews for the previous four issues of this miniseries. Brisson wrote a good, engaging story and Godlewski provided some pretty nice art. This was definitely one of the best Fall of X miniseries.

A fun milestone issue here that, in my opinion, is dragged down a little bit by the backup stories. Quickly speaking about the main story, it was an entertaining one that does a great job of showcasing Peter's wit and just how fun Spider-Man is in general. The villains arguing amongst themselves was inevitable, but it was still enjoyable and I liked that it was the reason the Sinister Adaptoid went crazy and lost. Moving to the backups, they weren't necessarily BAD stories, but they were just a little unnecessary. The first story is nice for what it is and I don't have much to say about it. As for the second story, I don't really know why we needed a Jimmy Kimmel story. It was fine, but not my favorite. Lastly, the third story was just kind of there on the last page. It was a neat concept, but there wasn't enough there for me to enjoy it that much. Nonetheless, this was still an entertaining book overall.

The balance between humor and seriousness is better balanced here, in my opinion, which allows for a more enjoyable read. While he still has some funny lines, Ben feels more like he's out for blood than he has previously, which is great. While I do think Rek-Rap is a dumb character, he's dumb in an entertaining way. I could see him getting used beyond this storyline, but he's not someone I'm strongly anticipating the return of.

Another case of people going insane over the fact that Peter and Mary Jane aren't together. While the villain here isn't that interesting to me, the rest of this book is cool. Seeing Mary Jane and Paul's time together as nice, which is something I probably think because I don't immediately hate Paul. MJ spent like four years in this dimension unsure of whether or not she would ever return home again, so it's completely understandable that the two of them got together, especially after they found the two kids and took them in. As for everything after we're caught up to speed, I think it was done well. Peter's confrontation with the Fantastic Four and Captain America shows how sour of a note things were left on before Issue 1 of this run, and it was just good writing, in my opinion. Along with all of that, I didn't even realize there was a backup story in this issue until I got to the end of the main story. Rainbow Rowell's backup is very much a random, slice of life story, but that's something she's proven to excel at with her She-Hulk run. As I've stated in previous reviews, I like the pairing of Peter and Felicia and I hope it's something that stays for a while. This issue gets an extra 0.5 just for the nice backup. All in all, don't listen to the people trashing this book into oblivion.

I think that this was a good issue following the newsworthy, to say the least, Issue 26. You can read how I feel about Kamala's death in my review of that issue, but I thought that this did a nice job of making Peter and Norman feel the impact of what happened. Norman, once again, feels guilty for his past sins and I'm glad that we got (and appear to still be getting) some follow-up to the end of Gold Goblin. As for Peter, him being a bit more violent (as seen in the beginning of this issue during his & Felicia's encounter with Shocker) is an understandable direction for him following Kamala's death. As for the stuff with Doctor Octopus, as another user stated in their review, I can't believe this issue made me feel bad for a set of robotic arms. I'm interested to see where things go with him, especially after the announcement that Superior Spider-Man is supposed to return sometime in the near future. On top of things, we got another case of good art from McGuinness. Speaking of McGuinness, the cover is great and it's crazy how this homage came out just two days after the passing of the legendary John Romita Sr. (if you haven't seen his cover for Amazing Spider-Man #55, go check it out; it's a great cover).
