Good ending. Mark Waid is a trash person but he really seems to get DC much better than he does Marvel. Too bad this event was lost in the shuffle but what do you expect when there are around ten events a year per company. Too many chances given on trash= no one cares anymore.

Absolute Wonder Woman (2024) #1

Oct 22, 2024

The plot seems really decent but the art is a little too clunky for such a big title that DC is trying so hard to push and the writing feels pedestrian and amateurish at best. This team was waaaay too minor league for a trinity character in a all new universe that is suppose to make big bank. If DC wanted to come out the gate hard they really shouldn't have given this assignment to one of the new crop of terrible creative that we've been repeatedly subjected to in recent years. Also, I know we have yet to see a lot of Diana before the big intro to man's world so it may be explained but does Circe know how to tattoo or will this be like Scarlet, who may need to go undercover in a federal building or high security military installation, having gauged ears? Some things can not make sense if it's cool enough but most of the time it's just dumb. I hope this is not one of those times. Just a terrible beginning for AWW. Is Jeremy Adams or PKJ available to co-write at least?

Spidey sense is non existent, Peter is too often a loser and this was as "brutal" as any any other fight but it was just two comics long with some extra blood that couldn't cover up the less than stellar art. Sad that Spidey used to carry four ongoing books and now we're stuck with...this.

I know nothing of this character other than the Jane Fonda movie I saw about 30 years ago so I don't know if this is what she's supposed to be but if it is then this book isn't for me. This was kinda stupid.

I know some disliked the heavy dialogue but I felt like it was well written and gave me something for my money. Unfortunately it was just a boring story. I hate moving through modern comics in less time than it takes me to check the mail so this book at least gave me something to sink my teeth into, even if the taste was bland. The new "hero" costume was pretty cool and this was better than most of the Zdarsky run but it still lacks the heart his DD run had. The art was pretty fire though.

They can't seem to agree on Damian's personality over at DC. Other than that, this was a fine issue. This is a classic Batman adventure without world shattering stakes and is just what Batfans and DC need right now.

DC All In Special (2024) #1

Oct 4, 2024

This feels like the writing team is at least trying and putting forth more of an effort than most modern comics do. This at least seems professional and involves an actual effort by the DC team instead of letting writers run wild and do any stupid thing that comes to mind. Most things have been done already so this book might appear to be retreading old ground but I can at least stomach it compared to modern dumpster fires like Fire and Ice: Welcome to Smallville, Birds of Prey, the millions of symbiote & spider clones or any of the mutant titles of the last five years. Hopefully this will go somewhere. I doubt it but at least this issue is pretty good.

Can we get some X stories this decade that aren't victim culture vehicles. Fighting bigotry has a big place in X-men of course but it feels like this has become the easy go-to (not to mention often blown out of proportion) overused trope we see too much and this series seems to be making it the central theme. Just too much too often and it gets stale. I guess this is supposed to be Shadowcat, I refuse to call her Kate, being the reluctant, modern day, bartender prof X helping mutant kids but it's marketed as a team book with the X-men name. This feels like a bad CW version of a New Mutants book. I think this title is an argument for way too many X books released at the beginning of from the ashes. So far the emotion\empath color changing mutant is the only thing I kinda like.

I haven't been reading GL books in quite a while so I was a bit lost but it really says something about good writing when even new readers can enjoy something with this much backstory involved. Fun and action packed ring slinging is what this book is all about and that last page was epic! The cover is cool but misleading, purposefully so I guess. Fun issue.

Hyde Street (2024) #1

Oct 1, 2024

I've read this three times now and had to come back and up my score. It really feels like the reader gets a lot without being gouged on the price. Please consider moving over to some more quality titles, like the ghost machine books for example, and leaving the rotting carcasses of $5 and $6 dollar big two books that (mostly) don't deliver on story and are really more about speculation than anything else at this point.

Writing and art are both atrocious. I think Shalvey must work super cheap to keep getting all these gigs but the companies have got to realize that these days the character doesn't always sell the book because the level of writing has gotten so bad people who are reading and not JUST collecting check the creative before handing over their money blindly....unless it's amazing spider-man I guess.

This was more of the odd ball kind of books we needed in the X line. Keep this and trim the fat of all the solo titles, except maybe Wolverine cause that will sell not matter what, and at least one "team" book and maybe the X books can get back to being fun to read. I'll say I'm not a huge fan of the art but it feels unique and I think it will grow on me, not to mention the coloring on this issue. This cover is A+. This issue is the groundwork for the characters motivations and I must say that it's got me interested in these soldiers and their backstories. Decent job on this book IMO.

The Terminator (2024) #1

Oct 9, 2024

If the terminator is after a resistance fighter of note then why would it continue to hunt his parents nearly 40 years after he's born. The book they burn seems to be the answer but I'd imagine in 40 years the terminator would have better info on his prey than what could be gleaned from elderly parents, not to mention said fighter would have already done the things skynet sent the terminator back in time to prevent. Hopefully future issues will explain and this isn't an anthology series with tons of unrelated stories because if it is then the score for this issue drops quite a bit. This is from the same writer of the current Thundercats series and I've been pretty lukewarm on that title so I really wanted to like this to prove that book was just a one off but maybe it's just not meant to be for me and Mr. Shalvey. He is a great artist though.

I know some people are bored with this series but I hope when it's collected & they can read it in one go they will change their minds. When I read this it reminds me of how much I love one of the only masters left at the big two and how I wish Marvel would give GODS another series and let it simmer and play out like USM has been doing.

This isn't anything new. It's kinda like the movie Strange Days, but don't let that stop you from reading this fantastic sci-fi thriller.

Wish we could get this guy on at least one regular series at the big 2 but he probably makes much more money doing this.
