Over the past few years, I've only given a few comics a 10.0 grade, but this one wholeheartedly deserved it. I was cheering in my seat reading this book.....it's all just so masterful: the art, the writing, all of it. This issue wraps up the story of the past 18 issues, since the beginning of the New 52. And what a phenomenal ending it was! JH Williams III on art....that's a no-brainer. He's the best in the business currently, and I'll argue that point indefinitely. The real feat that has elevated this book has been the writing. Haden Blackman (scripter, I'm guessing?) has truly evolved as a writer. His first year or so on-title was decent, but never fantastic. However, since the beginning of Wonder Woman in the title, he's been on fire.

This is a perfect comic.

Quite simply put: this is the best that any title with the word "Avengers" in it has been written in over a decade. Magic is busting through the seams in this book with Dustin Weaver on art, and it beautifully brings home Hickman's massive ideas with a theme of grandiosity set in universal epic. I can't say enough about this series. It's perfection wrapped up in a comic book. I only wish that Dustin Weaver could do every issue.

A perfect ending to a fantastic series. And it was WELL worth the wait. I got teary-eyed on the last few pages.

9.8 grade. This is one of the best comic books I've ever read. If you don't feel the same way, then I'm sorry to say that you just don't belong in the comic world. This is why I read comic books.

This was nearly a perfect comic book. I'd give it a 9.7. I love what Slott is doing with Spidey. I literally cannot think of a single negative thing to say about this issue.

Peter is finally gone - and though I loved the book before this issue, #10 has brought the series to a new level. If Daredevil hadn't dished out one of the best comics in the past few years this week, this issue would be my issue of the week. But seriously: Slott is on a tear with this book. It's fun. It's quippy. It's smart, action-packed, wonderfully written, and it has several moments involving MJ that tug at the heart-strings. I can't say enough about this title: read it.

Best issue of the series so far!

"Wow" is all I've gotta say. Though I've enjoyed all of the issues, this is the first issue of this Avengers series that I've been blown away by. Weaver on art is magnificent. More please! Hickman is such a magnificent writer, and I find myself hanging on his every word in intense anticipation for what comes next. Epic!

Spankingly awesome. Even without Williams on art, this title remains one of the New 52's most consistently solid titles.

This is one of my favorite books on the stands. It's not deep or sentimental, but it sure as hell is fun with a lot of 'wow' moments, solid storytelling and cool art. This issue, in particular, marks a turning point in the series leading into Harbinger Wars. READ THIS BOOK

My God this is a mind-boggling book. Mieville is on fire right now with this title! Producing new superheroes every issue requires a great deal of creativity, and fortunately, Mieville is exploding at the seams with it. We continue in this issue with the hero "Glimpse," a clever concept for a hero: you never actually see his whole body, just "glimpses" of him as you catch an arm or a leg of him sticking from off-panel. Very clever, very well-written, and solid art by Ponticelli give us another fantastic issue. Probably the most under-rated title on the shelf.

Great issue.

This is probably the best GI Joe title I've read in the last 5 years. The story is a slow build, but it's wonderful nonetheless, and Gulacy's art is brilliant. I highly recommend, even for non GI Joe fans.

All I can say is wow. Nightwing is back! The book is fun, smart, and action-packed. All I could think about after I put it down was, "This is a fun comic book." Brett Booth's art drew me back to this book, and I sure hope he's around for a long time because his work is gorgeous. There's a synergy to the title now that was previously lacking. But the writer and artist have found it, and it practically bleeds off the pages. This is a title that anyone can read, and issue 19 is a great place for new readers, opening up a new starting point but obviously paying homage to past events.

HOLY $)(#&% this book has a new writer, a new feel, and some seriously disturbing tones. Best issue of the week. I'm happy to see this book take a new direction.

I'm so keyed into what Slott is doing with this book. It's a darker, more caustic take on the web-slinger, and I'm loving it. Lots of great moments in this issue with a bit of a cliff-hanger ending. Also, Spidey-Ock truly is Superior, as we see Doc Ock succeed in situations that Peter wouldn't have performed as well in.

Great issue. Best non-Morrison Superman issue of the New 52!!!!

Loved it. Best issue of the week. I'm eating all this Superior stuff up like a fat kid at a buffet.

so good. Chameleon is portrayed in this issue as a creepy-as-hell psychopath. SPOILER: and he cuts off a guard's face to wear it to escape the helicarrier. My god, Yost is doing such a fantastic job on this title. Peter-Ock's characterization is perfectly on par, reflected in his thought, "I'd better make a crack now" (an attempt to put up the facade of how Peter would act to keep people from being suspicious of him). Peter-Ock is very smart, and it shows in this issue. He single-handedly outwits helicarrier security and SHIELD, gloating about it throughout the issue. Yet he also feels remorse due to the death of SHIELD personnel due to his interference. Also, the Hawkeye comments were hilarious: "Dimmest bulb in the world." HA! Wonderful work.

What a fun issue! Hickman takes a break from the over-story to give us a down-to-the-beat espionage tale with clever plot and oftentimes hilarious situations, including a scene where AIM agents and a few Avengers call truce for the night and party like it's 1999. Shang Chi kicks ass in some beautifully orchestrated scenes with touching inner dialogue from Chi via Hickman. And Black Widow is aptly portrayed here as a killer at heart, a vision that not many writers of late have sunk their brain-teeth into. Great issue.

This team can do no wrong.

Fantastic.

This series is a slow burn, but a great and wonderful read. Plots are slow-moving, but having just read the entire 3 issues of the series so far in one go, I can tell that there are big plans ahead for the Joes. Not to mention, Paul Gulacy's art is fantastic.

Great book. Valiant continues to dominate.

I really don't see where the distaste for this series is coming from. I've found both issues to be excellent. Art and writing are top-notch, and young Thanos is presented as a driven yet conflicted character with evil inside of him. I've noticed over the years that fans tend to dislike/poorly grade comics by Simone Bianchi (artist). I think his art is outstanding. It drives home the tone of the series perfectly.

I honestly don't see where the hate stems from for this series. As a big fan of Claremont's run, I see many parallelisms between that run and this one. Art is fantastic. I dig.

I can't help but wonder how this book would have been received if Marvel hadnt blown the Angela cameo spoiler months prior. Instead, everyone has been jumping on the "we already knew that" bandwagon and quickly find more reasons to bash the book (Bendis bashing is IN now, haven't you heard?). The end does have major ramifications that we haven't seen yet on the marvel universe, and I suspect those will play out in time. All in all, this was a well written, fun series. Not outstanding, but readily enjoyable!

Awesome. AOU has been one of the best events in recent memory, and these tie-ins have been helping to establish that fact. Butch Guice delivers great art to drive home Black Widow's story of how she came to be in the SHIELD bunker in which we find her in the main series...and how she loses her eye. Great issue.

Great story and wonderful art. I didn't have very high expectations considering the writer is.... Andy Kubert? Who knew that guy could write? I'm a little confused by the other low reviews...

Such a great all-around series. If you aren't reading it, you need to be!

One thing can for sure be said about this title: Fabok's art is beautiful. I dare even say that it's on part with Capullo & Williams III for the best among current bat-titles. Amidst the insane level of high quality Bat-titles currently on the stands, this one tends to get lost in the background. But Detective Comics, with it's one-writer-one-artist team (Layman & Fabok), is pretty good right now. The story is never mind-blowing, but it's always consistently solid and fun. I do appreciate the short-handedness to the writing, although Layman could use a little work on issue plot resolution at times. Negatively, the title does serve as sort of an anchor for the other bat-books, with constant references to other Bat-goings-on, which can get annoying at times.

This series continues to be fun. This issue continues on with the story from the Tec #0 issue featuring a love from Bruce's past, which leads into a very good little yarn involving her resurrection as a bat-foe. This title holds itself again as the cohesive bat-book that pulls in threads from the various titles. Normally, a chore like that pulls down the book's quality, but Layman does a great job of integrating various bat-threads into an interesting and fun issue. Fabok takes a well-deserved break this issue, and Eaton comes into fill in for art-duties and does a great job. If you like Batman, I highly recommend this series. It began with a shaky start but has gotten continually better with every issue.

I'm impressed so far and hoping that this series is able to maintain the level of quality it currently displays.

While the series has seen it's highs and lows, the recent art of Aaron Kuder followed by Guinaldo has elevated this title to a higher tier. I will say that the ending for Kyle is about as perfect an idea as could be had for him. It's a pretty good issue.

Things are amping up in this title. After an abysmal entry of issues 1-4, the series has been churning along on all cylinders since issue #5. Remender is slowly building this up to be a potentially worthy sequel to Uncanny X-Force.

Best one-shot so far of Age of Ultron.

The best word to describe this series so far is "fun." It's not the deepest or most epic book on the shelves, and it does have it's pitfalls (weird transitions between panels), but overall it's an enjoyable book. Some funny moments too.

I've loved every issue of this series. No denying: I only read this title initially because of JH Williams on art, but I quickly found that Blackman, as this title went on, has crafted himself into an exceptional writer. However, McCarthy's art, which is usually wonderful, looked like straight up vomit in this issue. It was a tough pill to swallow. There were a few scenes that had zero emotion, and the panel where Batwoman flips a table over was probably the single worst panel I saw this week. Hopefully a month off with Francavilla on art (whoopee!) will give McCarthy some room to breathe and return to his former quality of work. Otherwise this was a great issue.

This issue was on its way to a 9.0...until about 2/3 of the way through and the inescapable "artist switch" reared its ugly freakin head. Really, DC? An artist switch in the very first issue of a series? It's inexcusable, and put a serious damper on an otherwise well-written comic.

I was not a fan of this book. Van Jensen had a tough time of it, coming in after a brilliant run by Peter Tomasi. But this issue just feels so "bleh." It felt like he tried too hard to drive home several points throughout the issue, especially John & Fatality's love issues. I'll stick around for awhile, but I'm not impressed thus far.

I feel like Joe Casey continually tries to make comics as graphic as possible just to shock readers. Every time I read a comic by him, I can't help but get the feeling that he's thinking, "What dirty subject can I write about to shock and awe readers into thinking that this is good?" "Butcher Baker" was the most extreme example of that, "Office Downe" is another...unfortunately "Sex" continues on in that direction. So much so that the sex scene at the end of "Sex" actually detracts from an otherwise solid, intriguing story with great art. I'm all about graphic violence and nudity....if done right. But Joe Casey throws it in your face. It's too much, and it's distracting. The lesbian show at the end was gratuitous. We didn't need vagina closeups to feel a sense of hotness about the scene. Two naked girls making out and/or going down on each other can be illustrated in better form. I guess I should've seen this coming. I mean, after all, the book is titled "Sex."

Justin Jordan definitely gives the book a bump, but four artists (YES, FOUR) makes this a tough pill to swallow.

Guns vs magic? No, thanks. But it is nice to have Merino back on art. Jordan's work here is mountains below his Luther Strode & Shadowman comics.

Art couldn't be more bland and Batman couldn't be more out of character than we see him here (batman wouldn't call a crook an "idiot"). This title has lost some of its flair since Damien died, and despite myself being a staunch Tomasi fan, I've gotta admit that this is indubitably his worst issue of the title to date, and that gets a :(

The more I think about this book, the more I come to realize that I don't like it. Despite solid storytelling and wonderful art, the implications to Rorschach as a character are abysmal. Twice in this series we see him escape life or death situations by the seat of his pants, aka by blind luck (a tiger jumps into a room in one situation, killing the person who is going to torture Rorschach while he's tied up). I get that he's a young guy and is starting out, but I just don't feel like this is the same Rorschach from AM's original run. The real Rorschach doesn't make mistakes and doesn't rely on luck. If this was a standalone mini-series that had nothing to do with Watchmen and was about some other character, it would be ~8.0 grade.

My god. I can't believe that after something as legendary as his Uncanny X-Force run, Rick Remender serves us this slop. What a mess this book is. John Cassaday's art is decent and at times great, but it's obvious that he rushed through many parts. Remender.... IDK what has happened or if he's just in a rut, but his writing has been painful to read in the last 3 issues. There's so much exposition and unneeded & unwanted, detailed explanation of every little excruciating detail, especially in regards to The Red Skull and his plot. I hate reading about this Red Skull. He's annoying and uninteresting. And Remender: Tone down the exposition. Let the art tell some of the story! I could read these scripts in a book and miss nothing!

Not good......not good.

Being such a big Spidey fan, I keep buying this book. Every month, I'm disappointed. I don't like Khoi Pham's art: that's probably the biggest problem. It's just sloppy as hell. Ironically, the last few pages of this book were penciled by someone else (Edwards I think?) and those pages were great. Also, I'm not a big fan of Kaine dying and coming back. It's been done before with Spider-Man in "The Other," not to mention that this story stole several facets of the reborn Spider's appearance, including wrist-spikes. I strongly dislike the villains present in the last few arcs... or maybe Pham just doesn't draw them well....idk. Yost is capable of better, as illustrated by his fantastic Avenging work coming out.

Writing is bloated, dialogue boxes are uninteresting and too wordy for their message, a dead character (whose death was perfectly executed) returns a mere 10 issues later.... moments that are supposed to be emotional come across with a complete lack of emotion. The story is uninteresting. This series is probably the biggest disappointment of Marvel Now for me. I don't know what happened but Rick Remender has lost the brilliant touch that he had with Uncanny X-Force. I just don't care about anything that is going on in this book.

I very rarely give comics a negative review, but this one earned it. Misspelt words, horridly mis-matched art, poor coloring at parts, and a completely off-setting tone ruined this issue, which was supposed to be the finale of Snyder's run so far and the final issue of Rotworld. What a disappointment.
