This might just be the worst comic I've ever read. The art is fine, totally professional. But the story... the characters... what the hell? Its so incredibly juvenile. Two d-bags hop through time. Its Bill and Ted sans humour.

The cover is nice!

I'm wondering what everyone else is reading that this comic is so highly rated here. The book is an encyclopedia of different DC universes. The framing device used in nonsensical. The different versions of the justice league are silly and uninspired. The only good thing is the professional quality artwork.

For some reason I thought this was the issue that Brian Wood was going to start writing. Not only is this not written by Wood but apparently he has been booted off the title completely. This was written by McFarlane and it shows. I knew by the first gigantic speech bubble that this was not Wood. My God McFarlane loves long, wordy dialogue interludes. It was a tough read. This was the first issue I had read since I read the first 20 issues a few years ago... so I was lost. The book wraps up a previous story line and then introduces the old Spawn back into the narrative.

Woah! Come on, let's calm down a bit folks. I don't what everyone else is smoking but all I see here is a failed attempt a surrealism and a tedious exercise in post-modernist comic writing.

Roy Thomas really loves fantasy stories with mysterious towers in them. I found these stories petty bland and forgettable. It's nothing we haven't all read a thousand times before and if I am to re-read this book in a few weeks from now, I'm sure I'll have forgotten all of them. None of the stories are connected, they're just little shorts that I guess can be seen as character explorations. But we don't learn anything new about Sonja. I'd rather read Gail Simone's ongoing series than these stories.

I read this but I totally forget all of it. Not very intriguing and after the last disappointing story arc I'm starting to get worried about this title.

Another bore in this soap opera side-story of B.P.R.D. Not sure where this is going. The whole issue was Abe talking to a young girl. It was nice to see a young person's perspective of the monster fallout but it not something we haven't seen in almost every post-apocalypse tale. The issue ends on a shameless monsters-in-the-background-coming-to-get-the-main-characters-without-them-knowing cliffhanger.

Powerful guy wants to create a better world and is willing to make the hard choices to achieve his vision. Nothing here that hasn't already been thoroughly established in Harada's appearances in Harbinger, but a nice entry point for new readers and a refresher for the old ones. I am excited to see what happens next.

Nice artwork

This reads way too much like Y:The Last Man substituting aliens for humans.

This series started very strong but it's starting to drag.

The start of a fine, if familiar, story about a robin hood type thief framed for murder by a leader of the local mafia-style gang. I thought the art was especially rough and thrown together. It looks like the storyboard and Sakai didn't have enough time to tighten it up before inking.

The start of what could be a really fun sci-fi series.

Fun story with cool art but not much to hook me in

The comic feels like a mediocre episode of the show, but it does feel like the show. The characters all seem like they could have been characters in the show. The doctor is well done. It's nice to see the eleventh doctor in a story again.

It's been awhile since Ken Garing published a comic! This seems to be Garing doing something similar to Bone in tone.

I love Simon Roy's artwork but the story wasn't doing it for me. A bit of a slog to get through.

Pretty run of the mill one-shot Hellboy. If you've read a few in the past, you already know what to expect. Hellboy visits a creepy old house and weird stuff happens.

A bit of a let down from the first issue.

Lots of great artwork. The stories are a bit too short to comment on yet. The Rumble story was great.

Pretty good wrap up to the second volume

Reeks a little too of the prequels. Oh, how I hate the word "senate". I suppose this was predictale as Vader is one of the few characters that was directly engaged in the events of the prequel movies. I liked Vader's dealing with the Hut and the bounty hunters but honestly there's absolutely nothing new here that a person watching the films already have assumed. There was a small tie in to the main Star Wars comics by Aaron.

Great artwork. Story is creepy but not much else happening. Quick read.

loved the artwork

Super fun. The next issue will make or break this series.

Awesome artwork and a nice surreal trip through hell.

Funny story with amazing artwork

There was a bit too much going on all at once in this issue. Not much breathing room for the characters which is unfortunate.

A comic full illustrated by Mike Mignola? Sign me up. Story was nothing mindbending, just two somewhat minor characters talking.

Wonderful artwork. Story is actually fun. The best Shaolin Cowboy thus far.

An all P. Craig Russell issue. This is the best chapter of the whole series so far. Can't wait for the followup

The best issue in the series so far.

I am incredibly excited for this series. Corben is one of my favourite artists and he seems to be pulling in his Lovecraft and Poe influences for this one. It could end up being one of his best works.

The characterization are spot on and the use of the force is well done as well. I was worried the comic book might go super insane with the jedi powers like the prequel movies did. Fortunately Aaron approaches it in a more subtle way like in the original 3 movies. I also loved that Solo is still in denial about the force and tries to explain away Vader's powers.

Daniel Warren Johnson doing what he does best.
