This was such a great series and an excellent finale. I am only disappointed it is over! It ties up all the loose ends but also leaves it open for future stories. I look forward to going back and reading the whole story in a sitting. Hopefully this create team returns for a follow up, as they really deserve accolades for this classic arc. Highly recommended!

Highly enjoyable, great focus on characterisation and awesome art! That last page leaves me wanting more, looking forward to next issue.

I'm glad Waid's run is over - I did not like his "happy-go-lucky" take on DD. This new series is back in New York, darker art, and a more serious tone - just like DD should be. This series is already off to a great start. Great moody art and a new intriguing villain. Im on board for the long haul!

This series keeps getting better. The dark coloring complements the art well, and it is great to see Elektra return. This issue had a good twist that will have future ramifications. Well plotted and highly recommended!

This is how DD should be - dark and edgy but Matt still has wit. This is one of the best of Soule's run, which has been great so far. Looking forward to next issue!

Great action and awesome art...classic DD vs. Punisher story with a fresh twist. I enjoyed the fast pace and fluid action and look forward to next issue. Highly recommended.

This issue was great, the best x-men book in a while! A combination of action, mystery and character moments add up to a great 2nd issue. Looking forward to next issue!

Rarely does a series end with such a satisfying finale. Great issue!

Awesome art, great story. So glad to see iron fist back in action, and Andrews is the man to do it! Get this book, this series is going to be big!

You cant ask for much more in a Bond comic - humor, action, and mystery. I enjoyed the first arc (I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10) and this one is shaping up to be even better. Looking forward to next issue!

This second arc has been surprisingly good! More humor and lots of action in this issue, cant ask for much more out of a 007 book!

A sequel to the excellent Judge Dredd year one. Great book!

Another great issue, tons of action, well drawn.

This score (9) is for the whole Year One mini-series. It was fantastic - the art was amazing and the story was of an epic scale. The end had a great twist that made this a great story, not just a great Dredd book. I would have liked to have seen more of Joe Dredd during his years as a cadet so the flashback was neat to see. Highly recommended!

For me this is about as good as it gets. Amazing art, tons of action, and great characterization. I always prefer TMNT stories when they are out of their element, away from the ninjas and sewers. This was a great arc, and Leatherhead is a welcome addition to the series.

Awesome Thor VS Galactus battle!

Classic villains like mystique and the blob, combined with interactions between Scott and Hank just makes you feel good about the current direction of the X-men! The mysterious new villain and the shield conflict are icing on the cake!

This is the best this series has been so far (and it has been a good series)! Excellent art by Bachalo sets the mood for this action packed issue.

This is the most excited I have been for the x-men in a long time. Great art, lots of mystery, and great characters. I hope this team sticks around for a while. Highly recommended!

I don't understand any of the negative reviews. This is the best x-men has been in years, far better than anything Bendis wrote. Instead of throwaway predictable plots involving Apocalypse, the past two issues have had great twists and turns and has used the x-men history (Archangel, Callisto, M, etc.) very well. Plus, the return of Emplate - who could ask for more? This is a great series - highly recommended.

Best issue of the series so far, near perfect! This is the first incarnation of a Spirit series I have read and Im glad I did! Great series, add it to your pull list!

This book is just so consistently good - the plotting, art, and characters are always fantastic. Unfortunately there are only two issues left in this story, but I cant wait to see how it ends. Hopefully the creative team reunites for a follow up soon. Highly recommended!

The critic reviews are pretty harsh, considering this is a good comic. The first story is a fun look at the future, and it was a treat to have Bendis and Maleev together again. If you like DD, its worth it!

Another great issue! This is the most I have enjoyed Daredevil in a few years and I am looking forward to each issue. Not sure what to think of Blindspot yet...but everything else is great.

More Elektra is always a good thing, and she is vicious in this issue - the art is also great, although I look forward to the return of Garney. I also look forward to finding out how they put Matt's identity back in the bottle.

This book is awesome! Dark and gritty the way DD should be, the best DD has been is a long time.

This series continues to be great. The art is awesome with non-stop action. I want to see more of this Punisher.

Deathmatch #9 Sep 7, 2013

This issue was a lot of fun, and this series continues to fire on all cylinders. People seem to forget what the x-men proper should be - and this is it. (if you want emo, confused, depressed x-men - go read Bendis run). This series (and Uncanny x-men) has been a great return to form. Highly recommended.

Great action and characterization as always. To many story lines at once makes the book a bit choppy - Hama needs a second GI Joe title to fit all these stories!

This series has been highly enjoyable - it is great to see Dredd outside Mega City One. We are getting some answers as to why MC1 is in its current condition too. Moody art and an intriguing story - Highly recommended!

Really loving this book. This series has done a good job developing a supporting cast for Dredd which raises the stakes for him. The mystery of how Mega City 1 got like this is slowly unraveling as well.

A great conclusion to this mini, but also ties up lose threads from Dredd Year One. I really enjoyed the pace, chaining locations, and art throughout this seires - hopefully Anderson will get another Mini-series in the near future.

Punisher (2014) #2 Feb 24, 2014

Two thumbs up!

Solid start to a new Punisher series. The issue introduced an interesting new villain (Face) during a violent drug bust - Classic Punisher stuff. My only complaint - it needs more Frank; the last series had enough of silent Frank, I hope that this series focuses more on the Punisher instead of the supporting cast. On art duties Dillon is back and always welcome - he draws a mean Frank! Looking forward to next issue.

Nice finale, although a little light on action - I would have liked half the issue to be fought on the battle field instead of talking, but the script was tight. Also, not much of a FF fan so those scenes didn't have the emotional connection for me as it might for others. Otherwise a great event, Hickman's Avengers run was great and this was a well deserved ending!

Spider-Man 2099 (2015) #4 Jan 18, 2016

Great Issue featuring 2099 versions of Venom and Dr. Octopus and it looks like 2099 Green Goblin will be showing up next issue. As always PAD writes an intriguing plot with a character focus. The art is a little stiff, but the colors help make for some great splash pages. Highly recommended.

Great issue! Glad to finally see who was behind the goblin mask all these years.

A solid fresh start to a new arc. I enjoyed seeing MJ and Norman again and hope to see them stick around. I also like the Regent character an look forward to seeing how this goes differently than the Regent spider-man arc during Secret War.

Im liking the darker feel of this issue and the fact that they are finally dealing with Murdock's coming out as DD.

Very satisfying conclusion to the first arc. Although it does not re-invent the wheel, it introduces us to Matt's status quo and Blind Spot, and is well written with great art. Recommended!

Not as good as last issue as it was a little too lighthearted for my taste, but it is still a good issue with a satisfying conclusion to a Spidey teamup.

My favorite part about this series is Frank, he is well written and just looks mean. Classic match-up between the Punisher and DD.

This is excellent. I prefer the regular 2000AD dredd, and the IDW Dredd is great too, but this was still a well drawn/well told Dredd story!

I dont usually like movie tie-ins, but this was really good. The art was great and it had a solid Dredd-verse feel. It didnt really tie to the movie at all, but was still good. The backup was worth the price of admission as well.

I enjoyed this first issue, nothing shocking but it's a breath of fresh air after Bendis. Ramos art was good and a few new story lines began this issue - I look forward to finding out what Cyclops did and how the team comes together.

TMNT Villain Microseries #6 Sep 13, 2013

While the first issue was a little stronger, issue 2 was still a ton of fun! I understand if this title isn't for everyone, but anyone growing up with either the GI Joe or Transformers cartoons with receive a nostalgic blast! After reading this issue, I was reminded how much fun these figures can be. Looking forward to next issue!

Epic Transformers saga! Started a little slow, but transformed into a great story!

I'm Surprised by the generally low reviews, this was a fun first issue. The art was a little cartoony, but enjoyable. The team has a good cast, although I dont care for the inhumans. Looking forward to the next issue.

This title should be the Flagship Avengers book - it has one of the greatest teams assembled and is hosting all of the important moments - including the return of Pym.

This is marvels flagship Avengers book right now, the only one with characters that matter. The art is a 10 and the story is well written - I think what appears to be an obvious plot will have an unpredictable twist. Recommended!

This book is excellent, thanks in part the Lashleys amazing pencils! A little too much time was spent on the Psylocke/Fantomex relationship, but the rest of the story is so good it didnt slow it down to bad. Really enjoying this book!

The art is just amazing in Uncanny lately, thanks to Lashley's detailed pencils. I think the label of "Apocalypse Wars" is unnecessary as he is not featured in it, but the focus is on Holocaust instead. As a long time Generation-X fan, I am greatly enjoying the arc with Monet and Empath.

Better than I expected...Bendis is so hit and miss (mostly miss these days) that I was apprehensive purchasing this book. I enjoyed the dialog and the art was great - I will be giving the series proper a try too.

Vast improvement over last issue, due to the darker tone of the story. When they don't focus on out of character humor, this book is quite good.

Good action, and the art was alright. It took a few issues but the book and characters have a direction. Hopefully this series continues to improve. Pretty good issue.

Extraordinary X-Men #6 Feb 13, 2016

I have been enjoying this arc - a little predictable, and Ramos' art is a little busy, but the x-men books are functioning better now than they have for a long time as they are action packed, well drawn books.

This series never disappoints, but it currently feels a little disjointed as at least 5 stories are running at once. Hama has so many ideas in his head I think he needs a second ongoing! Its Hama, its GI Joe - read it!

Good issue - tons of great action. This is not what I expected from a Bond comic, but I am enjoying it. Little story progression, but action packed.

Lots of great action and art, but a little shy on plot. Overall a satisfying end to an excellent first arc.

A very comical take on Dredd, not to be taken seriously but still fun. Genuinely laugh out loud funny with good art.

Mars Attacks Judge Dredd #3 Jul 28, 2016

This was a fun/crazy Dredd story not to be taken to seriously. It was quite humorous and had art that matched the writing well. Not my favorite Dredd series by any means, but still entertaining.

A good story and solid build-up for what is coming next. This series has been a slow burn, but reads well in trade format or going back and re-reading several issues at a time.

Decent issue, hopefully Fury survives this series.

I'm surprised by the number of negative reviews, as this series had a meaningful conclusion and excellent art. The conflict with Dr. Midas was clearly an afterthought, but the whole story with Nick Fury was well laid out. As far as events go it was not quite as good as Infinity, but MUCH better than Age of Ultron.

I generally enjoy this series more than Amazing Spidey. It has solid and consistent art, but most of all it is always entertaining. Recommended!

The civil war II tie-in is forced, but does not slow the issue badly. The cameos of Ravage and Gallows (Punisher) made my day.

This was actually a pretty good issue, the strongest of the series. Its rare that a finale delivers but this one does - good action, great art, and characters people actually want to see. Its too bad it took 5 issues preceding this to get here, just when it was getting good. Overall 6.9/10 for the series. Fun but only ok.

7.5
Superior Spider-Man (2013) #22 Nov 30, 2013

This was a good issue, a return to a slower pace after the amazing finale of the last arc. The cover for this issue is one of my personal favorites, but the interior art (same artist) just doesn't quite cut it - the turtles look quite good but the humans are a little messy looking. This is just a great series, looking forward to next issue.

A solid issue, but not as good as last arc mostly due to the change in art. Still, TMNT always delivers and this issue provides a great cliffhanger.

Turtles in Time continues to be a fun ride. This issue feature some great art and moves the story along. Looking forward to the finale!

The Rocketeer fighting Nazis. Whats not to like? Classic, fun.

Consistently good.

This is a good start for the new Punisher series, but is moving a little slow, however, I expect when it is read all at once it will flow nicely. I look forward to next issue. (And I always enjoy Dillon on Punisher art duties).

The story is not really developing much, but there is lots of action and I mostly enjoy the art - it is a small gripe but I dont like the way Franks hair is drawn.

I like the new villain character but this story is so decompressed! It needs to pick up the pace!

I have enjoyed all of IDW's Rocketeer minis so far, but unfortunately this was their weakest entry so far. It was by no mean bad, but it was a little to light/corny to have any weight - it felt like the characters were never in any real danger and that the ending was coming to a predictable conclusion. The art didn't help either, it was too cartoony to really appreciate - they should take a note out of Dave Stevens books and get an artist who can better match his artistic style. Regardless of these gripes, it was still a fun action packed Rocketeer story with a satisfying conclusion (he beats the Nazis!). The issue does leave it open for future Rockteer stories, so I look forward to seeing whats next.

A disappointing ending to an otherwise good series. It got pulled into the main Secret Wars story and lost its own.

Nice filler issue, looking forward to the next arc!

I'd give it a 6.9 - it was just ok. I hope that this books shows how that team forms and why it exists. And Greg Land ugh... Needs a new artist ASAP. Bunn can be a great writer, hopefully this book improves fast!

This series has been great, but this issues was definitely a misstep. Looking forward to seeing x-factor building some momentum,

A little more than predictable (yet satisfying)ending to the current arc. Unfortunately this title will be swept up in a crossover for the next few months too.

6 is generous for this issue. The story is so predicable and the characters dry... Not recommended.

One word: Overhyped. Coming from a huge DD fan, it saddens me to give this book such a low score. This happy-go-lucky DD is not the Matt Murdoch we know, this feels like his annoying brother "Mike". Poor characterisation for the title character. Cartoon art. Hopefully this hipster stage in DD's life ends soon.

Judge Dredd: Mega City Two #4 Jul 29, 2016

MegaCity 2 was a strange, bizarre, and cartoony world that did not work for Dredd. I have really enjoyed IDW Dredd (even the Mars Attacks Dredd was fun) but I did not like this series. The art was a mixed bag and the story was confusing and went nowhere really. My favorite Dredd stories are from the early 2000AD case files (Cursed Earth, Judge Cal, City of the Damned) but these issues failed to capture the same humor/violent combination of the era it seemed to be going for.

This series has been a disappointment - The art is great, but the story is cheesy and predictable. Who came up with these battles? No one asked for these match-ups and second tier Street Fighter characters. I wish this series was half as good as the cover looks. A 6 is generous, given for the great art.

SLOW BURN! So...so...slow...

Rough FILLER issue, it tried way hard to be funny. Not the way I wanted to spend $3.99 this week. Hopefully next issue is much better!

Great art, weird story! I really didn't enjoy it.

Fun but light on story and the art was terrible. I would NOT like to see this creative team return to GI Joe. It had a couple of neat moments but nothing memorable. Read Hama's ARAH GI Joe instead.

So boring, poor artwork. Im almost done with this series...

This is NOT the Avengers - I gotta say, this issue was truly terrible. So predictable and boring I was actually looking forward to the end so I could put it down. This is the worst character line-up in Avengers history as well - full of kids and replacement characters no one cares about (replacement Nova, Cap, Thor, Spider-Man, Ms. Marvel - This team is a joke). After Hickmans amazing run, this is book is truly depressing.

Sadly, this is pretty bad. Slow and predictable.

Damian: Son of Batman #1 Nov 2, 2013

Terrible issue. Each issue has gotten worse, and it is with #4 I drop the series from my pull-list. The art quality is all over the place and the story is completely incoherent. Good thing there is GI Joe ARAH and Transformers MTMTE for good stories. IDW is great, just dont waste money on this series.

What a flat end to a run with so many ups and downs. I really hate what Bendis did to Ice Man too, so out of character and completely ignored 50 years of established history. It was a very disappointing finish, not worth the $5.99. Good art however, Bachalo and Immonen are always great.

This is not GI Joe. This is a story they wanted to tell and are using the GI Joe brand to sell it. But let me tell you, this is NOT a GI Joe story. Terribly simplistic art. Groan worthy dialogue. PC as hell. Not Gi Joe. I want my $4.00 back. The end.
