Grabs you immediately

Wow, such great tension building and a huge pay off in the end. This is the comic I look forward to the most each month and this one certainly didn't pay off. Glued to each page.

Best line in the best universe comics has right now.

Man Wonder Woman just rules in this run. Her characterization is incredible and she is a force of will and personality. When many of the other absolute heroes are mopey or angsty in their situations, she cannot be broken. Can't wait for the conclusion of this arc

Instant Classic

Great issue that builds a lot of excitement for the future of this iteration of Batman's rogues gallery. Felt like it tried to do too much with one issue though, three origin stories is a lot and the flashback storyline with Selina and Bruce was a little out of place.

Oftentimes in life we think about all the moments we've missed, what we wish we had, doors that have opened. And each of those moments is a portal, a portal to a different life, sometimes for the better, or sometimes for the worse. Any moment can open us to that life we dream of, or take everything away.

Hard to rate each article because although each of them is exemplary, it's really what they accomplish as a collection that stays with you and leaves an impact.

I just feel like it would've made more sense to have him die at the ranch this time. Seemed like there were enough dangerous possibilities and the return to the city at the end felt random.

Tear jerker, so sweet. We have really come to know Bras at this point. Allowing us to feel him on each page even though he doesn't even appear in this issue.

This issue convinced me I need this book on my shelf

So incredibly beautiful. I will carry this story with me for a while and can only hope to go out on my own terms like Bras.

Tattooed look is great, awesome cover

Some of the best art I've ever seen

If he's wearing his skin how come he still has his skin

These covers continue to outdo themselves every issue. Love a good story where the superhero is in way over their head.

DC just loves to introduce a list of c-league heroes for the sake of it.

I feel like we have lost the plot a little bit here.

Everything that doesn't take place in the rotworld is excellent. Ready for the team ups to end and Animal Man to get back to what works.

Maxine's plotline carrying this arc hard. At least they are rolling out a-listers now in this parade of cameos they are doing in rotworld.

Okay this was a good issue, but every big moment was cheapened by the entire rotworld arc, which was completely unnecessary in my opinion. Why spend the whole first arc of this run exploring what can be done with the superhero genre and reinventing the character with a dark grounded tone when you are just going to throw that all aside to have more side characters than you know what to do with running around fighting the zombie justice league. This issue brings us back to what works with the series, but at this point we've seen so many death retcons that I don't even take the big moments seriously anymore. They showed Maxine getting infected and now they are just gonna act like that didn't happen. We finally get a huge payoff with Maxine's powers as well, but all the set up was done two issues ago (3 if you count the swamp thing issue) so it doesn't hit as hard. And now they end with another death and I'm skeptical that that isn't going to get retconned too.

Any issue that features the totems is an automatic banger

One of the best issues, great art, great story beats, juxtaposition between Buddy's trials and Maxine coming into her power is well done, and of course the totems shine as always.

Banger art yet again, just wish there were more panels, quick read.

Bonkers Bananas Batshit insanity!

Honestly I miss when Ellen was being unhinged. Seeing a "glued to your smart phones" reference over a decade ago makes me feel old.

Not the "I don't feel so good" meme in 2013

Kind of random but allows for some sick build up. Incredible art!

Really ending on a high note.

What an incredible run, baker vs the evil totem is the best fight in this series. Jeff Lemire eat your heart out for the work you put in these 28 issues. Adding Sweet Tooth to my list because o this and Absolute Flash.

Good ending, interesting art change though I appreciate honoring the work Foreman put into this series. Lemire offering some not bad pencilling himself.

Wow this is excellent. Lemire rarely disappoints, the watercolor is pretty good though not as transcendent as Peach Momoko

Claremont was on some serious za in the 70s for this one

All time job by Cyclops

Some dope new characters show up

Kitty Pryde is instantly awesome and has a ton of character. Good issue all around but wow Claremont was totally lost when trying to write for the "hip" Dazzler.

This comic suffers heavily from Claremont's tendency to overexposition. Storm I don't need you to tell me that Shaw has grabbed your ankle, the artists have done a great job of showing that already. Also what the hell are Jean and Warren doing on page 2? Jean making out with everyone in this run lol.

Claremont has sort of lost me at this point, action scenes just jam packed with unneccessary dialogue and narrative. Awesome to see Wolverine in action like this and the character being developed but its such a far cry from the character we know today with the overexposition and underutilization of his powers, seeing him be so scared of being hurt is kind of a jolt for example. Not to mention to the weird interaction between Jean and Storm... gross.

Good story dampened by overwriting

Oh here we go, this is the one.

All timer

Pretty decent. I think the superhero stuff ends up being a distraction for the grounded story King is trying to tell. A little heavy handed with its message as well. This issue is a highlight though.

"If you prick me, do I bleed". He's cooking here

I cannot believe how dark this story has gotten but I cannot deny it is fascinating

Okay this is an all time issue. Wow.

Meanders but solid ending and through-line.

Just brimming with emotion

Amazing cover. Also excellent depiction of the trolley problem here for the Avengers. Don't know if I agree with them.

So bittersweet in a series that is just heavy with emotion all the way through. Couldn't put it down during the last issues. Second work of Tom King's that I've read after Supergirl and Supergirl is my favorite comic work ever. Sidenote: I love that they bring back the dog but not Vin.

I like this run. And contrary to some other feelings I've seen, I think this issue gave too much information. Eldritch stories work best with very very little details of whats actually going on, it creates suspense and unknown and lets us fill in details without it becoming lore-dumpy. This was cool though, excited for more.

Way too much going on at the end.

Kind of a mess, feels disjointed and the art/writing is often confusing.

Woah this art rips

This is fun

I'll give this an 8 for the cover alone

Sometimes the pacing is off and jarring at times, but the art and the personalities really shine. Love these cute little guys. Would probably benefit from a longer format like others have mentioned, but I'm still glad we have it.

I really like how they are building up the public resentment of mutants piece of the story. I imagine that will soon make the Children of Atom even more dangerous in their fervor.

If you think this mystery is unravelling slowly, I'd love to know what you think about Persona 5's pacing haha

I think it's really hit its stride here. Art as always, captivating.

That last panel is sooooooooo good

Some of the best art in the series

Re-imagined danger room is great.

Solid fight, solid set up.

Alright its very silly and the pacing is spastic but it has some pretty awesome moments, the team finally coming together for an organized mission (cyclops wya), dark armor is soooo cool, some great powers being put on display, the reveal at the end, and of course as always the phenomenal watercolor style.

Strong start but gets weird

Kind of baffling resolution, a little too convenient there for Daredevil.

I usually expect a little bit more of a punch from Hickman, though there is one! Good comic overall, I know a lot of people have been begging for more character development and explaining motivations, this issue definetely has that.

Kind of a drop in quality from Camp here which is unfortunate, but they can't all be bangers.

The art is great and there are some pretty cool moments.

There were some parts that were fun
