Snyder is king of strong starts. Pace is great and covers a lot quickly without feeling like all exposition. All the characters seem super interesting. Only issue so far is Bruce may be the least interesting character so far.

All the weird exposition from Harlan McNeill is maybe the weakest writing Ewing has ever done. He's like the robot meme from Rick and Morty. "What is my purpose" "You tell the audience this is a new host for venom is the most blunt way possible" I'll keep reading because I know what Al is capable of tho. Plus Gomez is a pretty solid artist on this. Not a great start tho.

All-New Venom #3
February 21, 2025

The mystery is keeping me interested enough to keep buying but it's kind of annoying how they taunt you with it every issue. Dylan's story is the highlight but them trying to use it to make you feel bad for Paul taints it. I really feel like once the reveal is made everyone will drop this book. And I think marvel knows it too.....

All-New Venom #5

I don't really like the reveal but at least it was surprising. This was probably the best issue so far imo. The past issues have seemed stretched just to prolong this reveal and didn't feel necessary. This issue at least felt like Ewing was trying. Ewing has the ability to pull this off so I'll stay on to see how it goes. Hopefully MJ eats Paul's brains haha.

Peter was willing to sell his soul to the devil to save a dying Aunt May. But now he won't even help her with FEAST because she's gonna die anyways? This issue wasn't great. The little that did happen was pretty dumb.

This was.... Better I guess? Peter snaps out of his uncharacteristic funk and suddenly cares again. It's done so unsmoothly though that it feel like the writer forgot how the story was supposed to go. Thankfully we are in the home stretch.

This is issue was significantly better imo. This issue read much better and less confusing than the last and the story is definitely getting legs. Not a fan of itsy bitsy or angsty young Peter but that could just be me. The art continues to be great as well and does the heavy lifting.

Maybe I'm missing something. Why does everyone write Peter like this now. And what was the point of that flashback. This issue was my least favorite of any of Joe Kelly's so far. Guest artist wasn't too bad tho.

This and last issue were for sure one book and editorial made them split it up so that the reveal will be in the anniversary issue. Which would be okay if it wasn't obvious and kinda boring.

Batman #159
April 23, 2025
|
|
It's clear Loeb hasn't read a Batman title since the last time he was writing one. So he doesn't know that this conflict between Bruce and Jason is pretty stale and is only regressing Jason more. The art was also pretty basic especially for Lee. But I don't really blame him with Loeb not really giving him anything to work with. You can tell Loeb's heart really isn't in this and I'm bummed that I'm excited for this to be over only two issues in. I really hope I'm wrong and it turns around. But for now it's not a tragedy to Batman but it is at best an unnecessary side step.

At first I was like "okay I just gotta imagine this takes place after the first hush and not in current cannon" then Damien shows up so now.... Idk haha. Jim Lee art is still good, not his best tho. It really doesn't feel like Loeb is trying. I'll never forget Hush but I forget this run pretty much a few days after each issue.

At least Jim Lees art is decent. Loeb still proving he's not read a Batman comic since he's left or he's just hoping the reader hasn't. Everything in this book has either been addressed better prior or is just included for no reason. Why was Bane in this?.....

This book is not nearly decent enough to handle a release schedule gap. This issue feels like a big issue of nothing. Wanna know what's going on? Well you're not gonna find out in this issue...... or any bat book from the last 20 years because Loeb hasn't read Batman since the Hush 1.

Great start. The whole croc interaction I thought was nice. Alfred(which I guess is AI even tho I can't see where that's said) obviously isn't as good as the real thing but I'll take what I can get. Gordon going back to being a cop is a solid move, despite I can't see Vandal letting him come back at all. And of course the art is 10/10.

Damn, I really wanted to like this as a huge black cat fan. I'm hoping next issue is better. Wilson is an amazing writer (see: Poison Ivy) but this was not a promising start. The 4th wall breaking doesn't fit well and just seems like a lazy way to narrate. Lizard is..... just completely wrong, especially with how he is currently in continuity. (Also how can see understand his growls like they're freaking Han and Chewie) Lastly the art was a dud. How are there 3 massive slashes on her arm bad enough to need Night nurse, but then become a job for a single band aid haha. Marvel if you need a new Spidey editor call me.

Kind of a slow issue that feels like a totally different book.

I came into this book expecting a mess. It's not a new masterpiece by any means, but it's a fun time. Kamala is just a fan dropped into a legendary moment in X-men history. It doesn't desecrate the original story or anything. I get that Kamala becoming a mutant was an editorial mess but atleast she's a fun character unlike some other editorial abominations. *cough* Paul *cough*.

It's fine. I mean that in a more positive than negative way though. It's pretty much what you'd expect but the writing is fun and fast paced enough that it's enjoyable enough to get through. I'm not expecting it to make my top series of the year list by any means but I'll probably pick up issue two.

The story is pretty good and more than enough to make me buy the next issue. But...... that art. Towe is pretty great at keeping that 90s style when spidey is in costume. But his faces are rough. Almost need a full spread to fit in the gap between everyone's eyes.

Like others have said, the letter chase was well done but took up too much of the book. If the other issues have a similar pacing, this is gonna be one of those "better in trade" series. Which isn't a bad thing. It just means the individual reviews won't reflect the story quality as a whole for some.
