I'll be honest. I liked this. A lot. Maybe it's because of new writer who was doing something different? But damn, the writing here felt so much better. Both Felicia and Shay were written well. I was actually invested and not just being tired of doing the same thing. Ireland doesn't break new ground here. But she does something effective and has a great voice for Peter. Something that is more mature and not just sad miserable loser who shoots jokes from a machine gun like Kelly writes Peter. Art was really nice too! A bit rough, but good enough. Overall, I want Ireland to be new writer for ASM, not Kelly.

 Immortal Thor (2023) #18 Dec 19, 2024

What an issue. I like it a lot. But I also have multiple problems. There is a lot to like here. Art is fantastic and how characters are written is great. I am more invested in MJ now, it feels like the criticism I had for her after #6 is finally being answered. The final pages are fantastic and family dynamic is great. But what problems do I have with this then? Titular character. Normally I wouldn't mind if it was another issue of very little Peter. But it's like every other issue in this series. Hickman seems to like writing every other character besides Peter. Because he is sidelined again and it does hurt the experience. What hurts it the most is the 12 month structure. Peter has been Spider-Man for almost a year now. And I have seen so little of it. I have no idea how much he has matured, how much experience he now has, because Hickman shows Spider-Man being Spider-Man so little. After reading Gabe's review (that many dislike for the lowscore), I get why he is disappointed. For a book called Spider-Man, it focuses very little on Spider-Man. So as a standalone issue, this is fantastic and focus on MJ is amazing. You love to see it. But as issue 12 of an ongoing series that spans one issue per month in timeline of the comic as well, it does hurt the experience a lot. There is so little I know about this Peter and it does annoy me while I read it.

It's... fine? Nothing special about it. The hook "who is the host" isn't that interesting, so don't know how long that will last. The cast feels... odd? MJ, Paul, Rick Jones, Luke Cage, Robbie and Madame Masque all feel very random choices for a Venom cast. It's not really a continuation to Venom War that I wished it would be. Granted, this is a first issue of a new series, but I wasn't that impressed by anything.

It's not as bad as the previous issue was for me. How Felicia was handled is awful, but not surprising. I have zero hopes for Spidey office to write her well now that Jed isn't there and so best I can wish is that they just skip her character entirely from now on. And how Peter speaks to her is just... bad. That's his ex, and he has acted way more mature in even previous volume, during Spencer run, Beyond and even WWL. Here he acts like flustered teenager who don't know how to respond when his crush speaks to him and it's so bad. Otherwise it's ok I guess. Mediocre, but so wordy with so much mumbo jumbo that Kelly is known for. And it just doesn't work for me most of the time, but art does. The pacing is kinda awful how the second Scion is defeated. It's too sudden and having this happend 4-6 times more is not something I'm looking forward. Norman scenes were nice. And so was Shay at the end of comic. But yeah, this just feels like Spidey office has zero idea what to do and are just spinning the wheels until something happens. I wish it's not Kelly who is the next writer.

I have to drop this. Nic Klein's phenomenal art is wasted on this. Nothing worthwhile happens. 19 issues in and there has been no plot development, or anything really. There is nothing worthwhile in this book besides the art. But this book tries too hard to be Immortal Hulk without understanding what made it so good. 19 issues of Hulk and Banner being at odds. And nothing has happened. There has been no character development either for the main character. Charlie is fine, but Hulk is in literal stasis and every month it's just another issue of Banner being scared, Hulk being angry and no development of this massive book. This tries way too hard to make Eldest threatening, but it's kinda laughable how little of substance Eldest or anything has. Backups were okay I guess.

 Moon Knight: Fist of Khonshu (2024) #2 Nov 27, 2024

I'm incredibly conflicted on this issue. It has great art, first and foremost. I think the writing is still strong for what it tries to do. But it's severely lacking in a lot of areas. And it's partly because this is an end of an era, but not a satisfying one. We desperately need an epilogue between this and All-New Venom. It's really odd that Venom Volume 5 ends with #39 that has only one panel of the main characters of the run. Meridius was the biggest disappointment. He was build up to be this big bad since #1 but I would say introducing Carnage just made everything worse. Meridius was beaten twice by Carnage, so that just made him as the big bad less threatening. His masterplan was also poorly showcased, I think it's stupid that we get his masterplan presented in a side book of an event first before in either of the main books. And his downfall is just as sudden, boring and disappointing. And it's mostly because Meridius was a much more interesting villain than just rehashing Carnage. It feels like this arc wasn't meant to be an event from the getgo. And it's apparent in the main book here. Only in #4 do the main characters realize about Zombiotes and those are as quickly discarded as they were presented. I feel like Marvel only made it which is especially odd since we just had Blood Hunt. But hey, anything to have synergy with movies I guess. I've recently read the whole Venom Vol 5 and all previous issues in preparation to this and I say that it's... not as good as it started. I feel like losing Ram V before midway made very big changes to this run and it suffered because of it. Torunn was brought as the new writer but she wastes her first 4 issues on literally pointless filler that doesn't advantage the plot at all or matter. It was only there to make Black Widow a new character and that was then quickly forgotten and then lost during this event. I really like what Ewing did with Eddie and it felt like he had a clear plan what to do with Eddie. I would say first 25 issues are fantastic and have some of the best lore presentation and character work I've seen in a while. But the inclusion of Carnage and Torunn's bad writing and wasting issues just made this series lose. I like how Torunn handled Meridius, but the less we speak about him the better. And the biggest problem was Dylan. Dylan isn't any different than what he was since this run started. And we have a lot plots left hanging (like Bedlam) and no idea if those are part of All-New Venom or not. But even after all these negatives, I still say it was a great ride. And this event was enjoyable for me. It had the best writing for Peter in 616 in a while and I will miss Ewing writing Peter. Same as Ewing writing Eddie. Old Man Dylan was also enjoyable character and how Torunn presented his journey was also interesting and clever. Old Man Dylan lost so much and even more during his journey to make Venom a weapon and it was nice to see him getting a happy ending. Or as happy as he could have (and nice continuity that Dylan never call his younger self by his name, as he lost it).

This would be better if ASM #60 didn't just ruin this ending completely. Good work Lowe!

It feels like this book is finally becoming what I wanted it to be. Spider-Man being Spider-Man stopping bank robberies! Nice character moments between Peter and his supporting cast! I like how Hickman writes Peter's inexperience and how he doesn't take things seriously yet. Peter has the power and the responsibility, but it still doesn't feel like it clicks for him. And that seems to be the whole point of this comic currently. Covers are misleading, but otherwise great stuff.

I enjoy this so much more than the previous arc, because JMS writes all these three so well.

Wow, this really didn't work for me. Ed's art is great as always, but first half felt like a chore. This whole "Peter Parker is down on his luck, with little money and poor management of his relationships" is definitely not what I expected to read after Wells' run started the exact same way and ended with Peter moving on and having something stable in his life. It doesn't feel at all like a continuation to what Zeb did in his run. And Spider-Man dumping his problems on a 10-year old just feels so irresponsible and childish. Peter's dialogue just feels off here. I don't know, maybe I was used to Zeb's dialogue, but here he is so wordy while also saying a lot of nothing with a lot of misses in humor The second part was better. Peter handling the trauma of dying was interesting, but otherwise this whole gimmick feels random. And just screams of Spidey office having no idea what to do next. And why is May scolding Peter for not getting his life together? Wasn't the whole point of last run just that? Like am I crazy, or did Kelly just ignore the entire point of last run? I'm not even kidding when I say that this might be one of the worst first issues of any ASM run I've read in a while.

Interesting ending.

It has great writing, character moments and artwork. But what makes this whole event lacking is... the event it's supposed to be. Zombiotes feel like an afterthought here and so does Carnage and Meridius. It's not badly executed, but it's not something that was build upon.

Land's art is terrible. But otherwise, this book just works for me. I hate Paul, and I hate Land's art, but neither of did ruin this for me.

This is perfection.

It's fitting that for a run that has been mixed for me ends with a book that is mixed for me. It's better than that garbage fire ending that Spencer made, but... yeah it's not that good either. But must say, for a final arc that from start was all about loose ends, it did leave nothing but loose ends. The resolution to Tombstone was very poor for me. It's basically the same ending as Gang War, except he is not as angry to Spider-Man anymore. Janice is gone, Tombstone is still Kingpin and the only change to his operation was losing White Rabbit. So... felt bit like a waste? May's role here feels random. We haven't seen her in pages of ASM in over a year, so it was just odd. It was nice, and a nice symmetry to WWL, but it feels like a resolution to a story that we never read. May wasn't really a character here, so the sudden focus on her feels odd. Jackpot as an idea still doesn't work for me. Them being fine with each other would work very well, if their breakup was more natural. But since they wanted to break them without any argument, bad feelings, still caring for each other but also having a reason not to be together, it just doesn't work. This whole setting doesn't work for me. I'm glad Shay isn't ditched. And Chasm was a huge headache. It's the same ending basically as Beyond. All the stories between DW and this were just lies? I get, supervillain lying? Unheard of. But like why do all this? I don't think anyone cares for Dark Web 2. And what was the point of that mini-arc between #47-48? Rek-Rap was nice. Same as Bubs and art in all stories. But overall, it's really hard to say this landed in any capacity for me. It's hard to recommend Wells' run in any way because there aren't really any good changes for Peter in hindsight, only bad ones, stuff that doesn't stick, or just forced changes that are reverted. I hope Shay stays.

It's not bad. In a vacuum it's fine. JRJR's art is good. Not the most brutal fight, that still goes to Spidey facing Morlun in Coming Home. However, here we see Peter being brutal to someone who is more in his weight class. But as a penultimate issue, this is very lackluster. I didn't think we needed this to last two whole issues. Issue #60 has too much stuff to resolve and conclude, and I think it won't do even half of those. There isn't really any character moments here. Like issue #4 had. No clever twist, or Peter's headspace. There are nice moments that showcase his empathy and heroism, but that really isn't enough. Even if #60 delivers, this just feels padding and not necessary.

This issue is exactly what it marketed itself to be. Brutal fight between Spidey and Tombstone. And I'm completely fine with it. I got what I wanted from this issue.

One of the best issues in a while. Interesting new developments, a lot of stuff happening, great character moments and amazing art. What more can you ask for.

Wow.

Kelly and Lanzing have a really good grasp on Spidey. Land? That's another story.

Art is great and writing solid, but I don't really care for the storyline.

I think this issue is the perfect showcase on why Spidey editorial needs massive changes. I'm not sure if it's Nick Lowe, or who/whom, but something needs to happen. But back to the issue itself. The first story was wonderful. Like amazing, truly deserving the title. Having re-read World Without Love yesterday in preparation to this, the parallels to that are very well done. I love how we see it in Peter. In #1, he is directionless, not knowing where to go, or what to do. Just aimlessly wondering about, not even talking to Randy. He is rusty, takes a beating and wants to do everything alone. Here, it's the opposite. Peter is active. He knows what to do, he supports his friend and even wonders how to do it. He has a plan, he executes it well and relies on his friends to do so. His smile during the court session was just wonderful. That is Peter. And his inner monologue. And reflecting on what happened with Norman! Like, that is what I wanted in this run! Peter's monologue and making it feel like these stories do have some sense of order. After Easy Being Green, Peter decides to actively go after Tombstone. It only needed like two boxes! Like how hard was this!? I'll save my rant for later, since I still want to praise this first story. It has great twists and definitely leaves me wanting more. JRJR was on fire with his art and I can't wait for the next chapter. Just cook Wells. Just cook. The first backup is also great. At first I was wondering when did Peter interact with She-Hulk and was pleasantly surprised by the backup story. Even saying "to be continued... in a story you just read" was really funny. Second backup... not really. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty well written, but it's way too late for this. We saw hints of this 30 issues ago (over a year) and after that... nothing. Paul desperately needed this way before and the first page still doesn't feel earned. We did not see how Peter and Paul got this friendly. We needed this story back in #25 to make this work. But the editorial got scared and decided to just keep Paul... there. As a nothing character. But overall, this is a great landmark issue. One of the best in a long time. And that gets me back to my rant on editorial. Like why on earth is this book so poorly managed. Zeb clearly had a vision and I think this and issue #1 showcase perfectly what he wanted to do. But editorial clearly stopped him from doing what he wanted and it has lead to a run that is really hard to recommend. In my honest opinion, they definitely ruined this run. It did not start well, with a sudden break-up, no explanation and another mystery just after Kindred that made the first year of Zeb's ASM bad in hindsight. First 13 issues are good, but the following 13 issues just kinda ruin it. The second year was not any better due to lack of focus on Peter that also definitely hurt the experience. There was no continuity between stories and Peter was rarely the star in his own book. It made it seem like Zeb did not care to write about Peter, when this issue specifically showcases he really does. Paul is also a nothing character that the editorial (or higherups) clearly wanted to use to explain the breakup, but then also got scared of backclash and decided not to do anything with him. Showing once again they are not confident in their plans, if there even are any. There are 8 landmark issues during the course of this run and I think this is the only one that actually deserves it and utilizes it well. Another mismanagement from editorial. So all this book made me think was to ask "why isn't the whole run like this when you clearly have the capacity, skills and want to make it so???" Like I'm just angry. Because there is potential and this book is perfect showcase of it. But you just don't do it. And this editorial mismanagement annoys me so much, because this run can have so many good stories. But they don't seen to use the potential what they have. If I thought Zeb was a hack fraud who could not write, I would not care this much. But I do not think so, I think he is a great writer who was given a really bad hand.

It's... just very rushed. Whatever interesting ideas are presented here, they are quickly rushed aside to return to normal status quo. I've liked Taylor's run mostly, but it is very one-note experience. It's fun and fine, but you don't really think about it more. Whatever new twist or interesting thing has been done is quickly forgotten or finished with rushed execution. This could've easily been a longer story arc. This doesn't feel like a penultimate issue at all.. Redondo's art is peak tho.

 Vengeance of the Moon Knight (2024) #8 Aug 16, 2024

I know this reaction can sound very off to a lot of the praise this comic has gotten. I try to explain my thoughts in this long ramble: We can start with Shay. It's her fifth appearance and gotta say, I like her. I don't get why MJ and Peter can't be a thing and how them being together makes Peter seem old and unrelatable and then have Peter date someone else. It just showcases that the problem editorial has is not Peter in a relationship, it's just Peter with MJ that is still a very annoying status quo to have. But, this comic is not about MJ. And as much as I love her and want her to be with Peter, her being on the date with Peter right now would not fit with themes and ideas Wells tries to convey in this run. And like I said, I really like Shay. I appreciate a lot her speech on "responsibility to yourself" and she seems like a character that would work with Peter. I hope to see more of her. I am just worried we will get the same old tired story with Shay inevitably learning Peter's identity. So why am I so annoyed by this comic? Isn't it a charming date that many of us have wanted to see Peter have? And isn't it a comic where we finally see Peter being himself and not just swinging as Spider-Man? Answer to both of those questions is yes, but it just makes me annoyed more, because while this works really well as a one-off comic mostly, it really is hard to like as sixth-before-last issue. It's... hard to explain, but I dislike how little we see what Wells tries to say in this run. This is the first issue in months where we finally see some growth in Peter, some change. And... it's the sixth issue before final one. Like... isn't this a bit too late? With Wells run, we always get these very tiny small snippets of Peter going forward. We saw it with his A World Without Love, Luke's speech to him in Rek-Rap adventure, Ravencroft adventure, etc... And then we get nothing in bigger and longer stories. It gets tiring, when he really doesn't seem to go forward. Within Wells run, it's really hard to get in the headspace of Peter Parker, mostly because this comic rarely focuses on him as a character. But like I said, I mostly enjoyed this comic. The date was charming, but what annoys me the most in this one-off story is Peter stopping Rhino and Screwball. Even if we ignore Rhino for a sec (Spidey editorial seems to have no idea what kind of character he is nowadays), that whole speech to them feels... kinda selfish from Peter? And very naive from him to presume they won't just continue that in another part of the city? It's like the only way he can relax on that date now is because Wells broke fourth wall and informed him the villains stopped and did not lie to Peter. I know, lying from super villains? Never seen before. It's not like I hate the idea of Peter being tired of being Spider-Man. On the contrary, I think that is a very interesting thing to explore and instead of going punching the foes, he tries to talk to them first, maybe even get them to quit. Maybe being sympathetic to them and understanding their struggles? But... that is not a thing that is explored in this run. Not really. We first see it in the excellent opening arc, then get a little snippet in issue 10 and then... not really anything. I don't really know what is going on with Peter. Why is he now ready to date Shay? What makes her special and why does her work with Peter better than say... Felicia? Whose romance story in here was so awful, and barely a plot even. It was just there until it wasn't. Such a wasted story. Like I said, I am not opposed to Peter dating Shay. I think it's interesting to see and perfect way to move Peter forward and not just keep him in a stale place (like dating Felicia again as a rebound). But Peter's date life has not been a plot line really, nor do we see how has he gone to this mindset, after his breakup from Felicia. Why is he ready now, or is he just giving life a chance? Is it because GG seems to be gone from his life (once again showing that we have a comic where it has no continuity to previous issue or storyline). Because this book so rarely focuses on Peter and his mindset, these kind of stories don't feel earned. Like Peter's friendship with Norman and now his date with Shay And I kinda laughed when Nick Lowe posted he likes doing these kind of stories. Would be nice if we saw more of them. Instead of "THE BIGGEST BADDEST STORY YOU HAVE EVER SEEN! THE ONE COMIC THAT IS BETTER THAN ANY SINGLE COMIC RELEASED PAST 60 YEARS. A COMIC THAT WILL HAVE MAGNIFICIENT CONSEQUENCES TO PETER PARKER AND SPIDER-MAN AND WILL FEATURE THE LARGEST, BLOODIEST, MOST BRUTAL BATTLE OF SPIDER-MAN EVER!!!" It's hard for me to be invested in these stories and characters, if Wells acts like they never happened whenever there is a new artist. TLDR: Shay seems nice. Date mostly charming. Peter leaving Rhino and Screwball alone felt a bit ooc. Art nice. But the whole thing doesn't feel earned.

Script is solid, but art is not. After Coccolo, it feels like no artist has rose to the colossal task of this series. Ewing and Thor deserve better.

The two-page spread is amazing. McGuinness once again showcases how good he is as an artist. This arc, like this book has definitely been uneven. Not sure if this ending is deserved, but I'm satisfied with it. Interested to see what happens next.

Amazing conclusion to this timeless mini-series.

After the disappointment that was the last issue, this is a strong start to the new arc. A lot of intriguing setup is done here, can't wait to see more.

It's messy, a bit boring an odd with continuation. A lot is going on, but so much that it's hard to care about anything.

I'm more confused about this story than disappointed. Nothing here is bad, but it feels too overcrowded to be concluded in the next issue. There are so many characters here and this story tries to conclude so many plot threads that it hurts the pacing. I have more questions than anything. The cliffhanger is not as exciting as it tries to be. This is the second time ASM issue ends with Peter getting sins and the third time (second time in this story) where ASM issue ends with Peter going Goblin.

Except now he doesn't even remember Superior, again??? Like what's next? 3 years go by and Otto is back remembering he was Superior Spider-Man and trying to ge tthose memories? Even besides Otto's new terrible status quo, there was nothing new in this. Just rehashing old Slott stories, except they were rushed, poorly done and just reminders of "remember when I did this?" Only Spider-Boy was the new addition and even that was lame, I don't really care about him. I liked the early parts, but this conclusion ruins this whole story. We get no new info about Spider-Boy, so... truly what was the point?

I wish this was perfect. Or an amazing conclusion to the first arc. But unfortunately it isn't. There is a lot of amazing stuff here, chemistry between Harry and Peter, amazing art and action. But MJ and Richard were disappointment. Richard feels like a non-character and MJ feels too perfect. There is no struggle, no doubts, not even worries or arguments. Just text-book perfectism, which is nice, but not exciting. I don't want massive argument or anything, but something. Right now I have gotten very little from MJ as a character and I hoped this would give us something. I love MJ. I love her and Peter together, they are my favorite couple in comics and one of my favorites in fiction. So I wanna see her more, as three-dimensional character, not just as "perfect wife". But I know we have only seen 6 issues. My expectations were high because this series overall has been so good. So we might get more out of MJ and Richard later.

After the strong start, I wasn't ready for the tone to switch this much, or for anything really. It's a bit disappointing, but let's see where it goes next. Also, how does the goo work again?

This two-parter was amazing. Ewing's writing is almost always good, but special credit has to be given to Juan Ferreyra, who made this arc truly memorable. I hope we see more of him in Venom, his art fit this really well.

The art is bit of a downgrade, but I think Messina does a good job still. While I do like almost everything in this comic, reading this monthly and having the pacing be slow, even if a lot of groundwork is done, makes this more difficult to enjoy. It's still really great, but not peak like the first issues felt. However, I imagine with the next issue this will truly ramp up. Original USM was also very slow, but that ended up being mostly great.

 Batman / Superman: World's Finest (2022) #27 May 28, 2024

Truly an amazing issue. As a standalone story, this was phenomenal, and Ed's art is best that it has ever been. I was worried about the tone, but both Wells and Ed were up to the task and I am excited to see what is next. However, I do have problems with this issue. Not as it's own, but as 50th issue of Wells' run. I have spoken about Norman previously and how I have felt that his turn felt sudden and there wasn't enough personal stuff with him and Peter in first half. So now turning back, it feels... still too sudden. But the much bigger issue is how this story has been build up. Once again Wells continues his stories after ages and it has felt like they were completely forgotten or mostly forgotten. It happened with Chasm and Winkler Device and mostly with Spider-Man's First Hunt. Norman's twist feels too sudden. Like there wasn't enough buildup. And the biggest problem for this are the Rek-Rap story and Gang War. Both stories would've been wonderful times to showcase Peter's change in subtle ways, but they didn't. And because of that, the small panels we get for teasing possible brainwash from Goblin during Last Hunt are not enough. It makes this feel more like an afterthought, even if I presume it wasn't. This is a great comic, and a very good read, but because of the lack of buildup for me, it is not as good as I hoped it would be. However, I am interested what happens next in this Easy Going Green story.

This was a very meh comic. As it's own, it's okay, writing is okay and art great. But as a continuation to ASM #49, this feels very off. Peter's attitude has gone 180, tone is much more sillier and continuation from previous issue is lacking. I don't really care about continuing Beyond storylines 2+ years later and this comic didn't give me any reason to be invested in those again.

This was a really good tie-in. For someone who had no interest in Blood Hunt, Wells and JRJR delivered. It's sad that this continues in tie-in issues, but with #50 being next, I get why.

Once again Ewing shines with his tie-ins.Ferreyra's art was amazing and script uses the setting very well.

I thought this was fine? Like, a bit confusing on the whole setup for the Goblin storyline, but I'm also a bit excited for it. However, Chasm stuff felt random and didn't seem to go anywhere that much. Maybe I just wish this was longer? And we saw Peter and Ben actually interacting without masks? The same kind of writing we had for Peter in #45-46?

Amazing stuff here. This is just the issue USM needed, more slower one that focuses on characters and their relationships. I loved every page and I was hooked on the dialogue. And Messina as a guest artist works really well here. I wouldn't mind seeing more of him once in a while. The only problem I have is the cover. It's a bit misleading, and since I desperately wanna see Ben's viewpoint on Spider-Man, it was a letdown

There is some really good stuff here. Art for example is amazing. But the writing can be confusing at times. And it's hard to get why this story is released now after Failsafe arc. I'm not sure how this is relevant? Or needed? So, not a bad comic, but can be confusing one to enjoy.

It's really hard to give my thoughts on this comic. It can either be an interesting cliffhanger, or a major disappointment. Only time will tell. But one of the praises I must give is that Bedlam II: Legend of the Curly's Gold is very funny.

Oh boy. My whole idea for going into this was "I hate the idea, but this might work", since that has happened before. But gotta say, I hated this issue. Might be one of the worst issues I've read in a while. I have so many problems here. The opening pages do not convey at all that they are here because of their dead adopted children. They might've progressed through it, who knows. The last time we saw them going to therapy was almost 6 months ago. And MJ just feels off. Like she doesn't feel like MJ at all. The dialogue is so aggressively mediocre and Paul is still a nothing-character, that this didn't change at all. The fact this does not take accord any superhero stuff MJ has experienced before or even the identity of Jackpot just feels wrong. This feels like we are supposed to just accept this without any setup or anything really. MJ is a superhero now. And it's a direction I strongly dislike, because it's another part of Peter's life that is now Spider-centric. Like if you didn't know any better, this felt like an alternate universe story, because this just doesn't work. MJ's powers don't make any sense. When Zeb or Jed were writing them, there was a sense of randomness and danger because of it. Now MJ can do whatever the plot needs and is somehow so experienced using them? And she can fly now? Because of the suit? That Paul made I guess? And when she can do whatever she needs whenever she needs, it's hard to be interested in anything. The small part that I was intrigued about her new powers is now gone. The placement of this is just so off. Everyone acts like MJ has been doing this for a long time (even Peter which is odd) except we have no clue about this. There has been zero mention of Jackpot since #31, so it's hard to follow where we are with this. Even Peter and MJ interaction just feels so off. The art is nice. It's charming. But when the writing and setup fails so miserably, it's hard to enjoy even the art. I was a bit interested on the next MJ and Felicia book. But if this is the direction they are going, can't say the interest stays.

Gotta start this by saying that the recently released USM has no impact on my view on this issue or series in general. I think it's pretty unnecessary and a bit pointless to even compare these two runs, as they are from completely different backgrounds. Wells could've never done something like Hickman did, not because he isn't good enough writer, but because he is writing with a well established character in a tight playground and not in a completely new universe. But this issue just didn't work for me as much as I hoped. Gang War is losing my interest, despite the strong start. Peter is even more of a side character now, Masque as the main antagonist doesn't work at all. She has had very little setup before this, and she isn't a Spidey-related character, so she can be very unknown to most of the readers. The stuff with Lincolns is nice, but not enough. Art is okay. The twist at the start from Fisk was a nice surprise.

 Daredevil (2023) #5 Jan 17, 2024

It's pretty good. Coello's art is amazing and Ziglar's script is solid. I would have no issues here, if this was a true giant-size issue and not just two normal issues, one of which is just an old Miles comic. For newer readers, it might be nice, but I wasn't a fan of how this was handled.

Sorry for ever doubting you Ziglar.

It's easy to think that all this praise and 10/10 rating comes from the fact that Peter is married and has kids. While that does factor, it's not my sole reasoning. This is legitimately surprising comic. The status quo is so different and there are so many possibilities where we can go from here. It has amazing art and Hickman's writing is surprisingly grounded. SPOILERS: I loved how Peter chose to be bitten by the spider. Stark's message clearly made him wonder about his other life and how he doesn't feel like his life is fulfilling him right now. And it made perfect sense why Peter wanted it. His sense of responsibility is there, but he has been powerless to do anything. But not anymore. And the fact that both MJ and Ben were the catalysts for Peter's choice? Amazing. But I am also interested to see how Peter handles with the pain that comes being Spider-Man. We've always seen him react to it when he is young and didn't choose it. Now neither of those are the case. How will it affect him? And all those beautiful variant covers that tease what could come (Alien Costume and Clone Saga) are so interesting to see in this Brand New World. Plus Ben being alive,friends with Jonah and working for Bugle? That alone is such an interesting twist.

Yeah it's another issue that is just fine. It's not bad and I enjoy the action but a lot of things feel like they are on hold. The biggest problem I have here is how passive Spidey feels again here. His motivations were very well setup in First Strike and in #39 it felt like he would be running the show. But the past two issues have felt like he is in backseat making quips. I like that in big Marvel events, not so much in Spidey-centric events. Otherwise it's solid, JRJR is at his best nowadays when it's all about brutal action and that is what this issue mostly was.

Plot moves forward, we visit all major players and see great action from JRJR. There isn't anything more I wanted from this comic. It's so hard to not compare this to the travesty event we got last year in the form of Dark Web. In almost every aspect that failed, this feels to excel. It's funny looking back.

Gang War? Hah! More like Bang War, because this was a banger for me. An excellent opening issue, I have been critical to Wells' work but this was worth the wait for me. I have been interested of Gang War for a while and if this issue is any indication, it will be amazing. The only part I didn't like was Miles being angry at Peter for being away 6 months. Not the writing itself, it's good, but the implication. Peter being moping away for 6 months hasn't really been a plot point in ~1,5 year so bringing it back once again showcases me the problem of this run that has been lack of planning and pacing issues. I didn't like the idea of Peter being away 6 months (felt a bit too long and kinda pointless in the long run) and since it wasn't brought up after, it feels very random to bring now. Almost like they forgot about it until now.

A very readable-ish issue. But it really didn't need to exist. Rek-Rap is fun and all, but nothing here made it feel like this was needed besides the Gang War setup. Tonally, this placement was so off, especially if Gang War is setup to be more darker and street-heavy storyline. Once again, in a vacuum these 3 issues were fine, but as part of ongoing TASM, they were very misplaced. Rek-Rap doesn't seem to be returning soon in ASM, so that's nice. The less we are reminded of Dark Web, the better.

After the disappointment that was Gotham War, this was a massive jump in quality. It's nice to see some recognition from Zdarsky's The Knight mini-series. Having Jimenez do his amazing art was a big bonus too.

It's not a bad comic. It's certainly enjoyable, but it's not as good since it feels so disconnected from Meriudus and the time travel shenanigans. Currently Alchemax is the only part that connects this storyline to others and it's not enough for me. As a standalone issue, it's fine. And it has great art. But as part of a series that already has 25+ issues, it's not as good. I don't blame Torunn for this however, she does what she can with this. And it works.

Fantastic start!

Yeah this wasn't good. It's too messy and all over the place. I had enjoyed some previous parts, but overall I had no idea what this tried to accomplish. Everything set up in Battle Lines is almost forgotten here, making the whole dilemma pretty pointless? It seems like nothing was changed after this. Bruce's and Selina's relationship is still the same. The same "will they, won't they" seems to continue. I thought Vandal would be setup as the next big bad for Zdarsky's run, but he seems to be gone? I don't generally dislike Hawthorne's art, but it's not my favorite. Overall, just a bad conclusion that makes everything I liked (and disliked) about this event worse in hindsight.

I wasn't the biggest fan of the conclusion of Ultimate Invasion. But this? This is good.

Okay this wasn't what I expected at all. I thought this would be an epilogue to Spider-Man's Last Hunt and not Part One of this Rek-Rap adventure. I have no idea why the synopsis is so misleading. As a singular comic, it's fine? I'm not the biggest Rek-Rap fan, but I don't hate him. But what is this placement? The tonal inconsistency is once again hurting Wells' run, and once again it happens when McGuinness is doing art. Like this isn't an epilogue to Spider-Man's Last Hunt, nor does it feel like a follow-up issue. It feels like the follow-up issue to Dark Web, that happened 6 months and 18 issues ago. I don't know what is it with Wells and continuing his plotlines ~20 issues after. But if anything else, this retroactively made Spider-Man's Last Hunt worse, so there is that.

This was good, but felt really rushed. I'm glad that this storyline is over, it felt too dragging at times.

This finally feels like it's going somewhere. But it's a bit too late.

It's pretty okay, placement is very questionable again. However, it's not fair to compare Gronbekk's run to Ewing's, has Ewing has had 2 years worth of setup, whereas Gronbekk only just started. I don't see how this is connected to Absent Throne and Meriudus yet, and I hope this won't become a side story.

Gotta be honest, this was a disappointing conclusion. And kind of a big one. I loved the previous parts and this had good moments in it too, but it wasn't at all what I had hoped it to be. We didn't explore NEARLY enough Peter with Norman's sins. We got small tibits here and there, but for a book called Amazing Spider-Man, this felt like afraid to actually explore Spider-Man. I really like what they have done with Norman, I've said it multiple times, but he is the most interesting he has been in years. And I'm keen to see what he does next. Kraven parts where done well. Previously him being Kraven's son/clone didn't seem to matter and it was nice to see some acknowledgement. Gleason's art was wonderful as always. But the big lackluster here is how they handled Peter. I had hoped that we would see more of Peter with sins, or some lasting conseqeuences. Not just with Norman returning in subtle ways, but with the main character of this book. Who is not Norman Osborn. I have nothing to say about MJ and Paul. MJ does her thing. Paul is a nothing-character who I feel nothing towards. I don't care to see him "painfully killed" or whatnot, he is not interesting enough to hate. This is not a bad comic. But for me, this is a massive disappointment. And I would rather read 4 bad comics than 3 great and 1 disappointing one. Because the disappointing ones always annoy you more.

Reading this felt like putting on an old comfortable sweater. Having Otto back with art from 4 great artists, I had a blast. I was worried Otto would go immediately Superior here and I'm glad that he didn't.

Jimenez was amazing here, we can all agree on that. For his art alone, this would get an easy 10/10, accompanied with great coloring. However, the script here is just... not good. I like the parts with Dick and Bruce, and Zur-En-Ar taking very drastic measures is shocking. But as an event, this storyline is not. This is mostly action and this "event" hasn't really gone anywhere in 4 issues. It's a chore to read otherwise, if not the art. And it's disappointing. I'm a huge Zdarsky fan and I had such huge hopes for this one after his Daredevil run. But about 14 issues in and I'm not completely sold. Zdarsky seems to be more interested in setupping his future arcs or writing about Zur-En-Ar than he is making this event. And it shows. Savage parts are good, but they feel out-of-place a bit. They are plot relevant, but if this building for a major twist in last part, the setup is lackluster.

I don't hate it, but it feels unfocused. I wasn't sure what take Rosenberg wanted to have on Jason, and art felt messy too. At times this was great, at times this was perplexing. Both art and writing. It's not god-awful, but I expected more.

As a massive Hickman fan, this series was a letdown. It felt like 4 issues wasn't nearly enough for this. I have more questions than at the start and even if this event was considered as a prelude, it suffers that it's not fully enjoyable as its own thing. It's fine. Don't get me wrong. But I expected better. And the hanging plot threads from #1 feel very unnecessary now.

I really liked this. I'm glad that Queen Cat is back too.

After Zdarsky's phenomenal run, it is hard to continue writing Daredevil and still making it good and as exciting as previous run. But thankfully, Ahmed seems to be up for the task.

It's a nice start. I like the voice Williamson has for Damian.

I loved it. Short and simple.

Previous issue, the opening act for the Gotham War was received a bit poorly, and after seeing the first reaction to this issue before reading it, I was a bit worried if this would land. But in my opinion, it does land very well. Bruce isn't acting himself, being tired, on edge and haunted by Zurr-En-Arrh, so being a bit ooc here isn't breaking character or anything. I get why Bruce acts like this. And everyone said that Batfamily would also join Selina in this issue, when in my opinion they just started to think their options before Bruce went unhinged. They are not attacking Bruce because they agree with Selina (besides Jason), they want him to calm down and talk to them, but Bruce can't in his current mindstate. I mean Nightwing doesn't say "Selina is right", nor does Tim. They just want Bruce to stop being so unhinged. And add Jimenez wonderful art and I think that makes this one a win in my books.

What a wonderful run. Thank you Chip, Marco and all other great people who worked on this series.

It was alright.

I don't know, for first encounter, it wasn't as exciting as I thought it would be. But still pretty good.

It's alright. There are stories that weren't most interesting for me, but also great stories in backups. Main story was... pretty good. Nothing groundbreaking, but very enjoyable. Peter and Felicia breaking up was just... sigh. It just made me disappointed becuse it showcased how poorly that relationship was done. 31 issues and Felicia appeared in 8? I'm not sad that it's gone because nothing was done with it, but oh boy it could've been handled better. But since it's the only criticism I got and everything else I enjoyed, I think it's fair to say that it was a success. So in conclusion good issue enough. Pricey, but good. I'm also happy that Wells finally had the talk between Peter and Kamala. I would've liked for it to be longer, but I like what we got.

A good, intriguing start. I really like how this is a continuation to Immortal Hulk, but doesn't act like Cates' and Ottley's series didn't happen.

This is incredibly conflicting issue for me. On one hand, it's perfectly fine, having okay dialogue, good moments and amazing art. On other, it's annoying read, having bad placement, little progression, questionable status as Otto story overall and odd ending. I really don't know what to think of it. I can't hate it, it's too good for that and I enjoyed it. But I can't really like it, because it comes with so many issues that I can't ignore so I can't fully enjoy it as standalone story. Let's give it a perfectly fine and annoying read: 5/10.

It's another those issues where I like what's written, but don't like what the implications are. I like Torunn. She is a very capable writer and her first issue on Venom as it's own is pretty good. I really liked her take on Dylan and Bren seemed okay. However, this felt like Toxin #1 and not Venom #23. And having Black Widow becoming a new symbiote owner is also not something I'm not that interested. Especially since Ewing has been killing it with his own story. The problem here isn't that Torunn took over Ram V after he left for DC. The problem is that this feels very disconnected and might hurt pacing even more. That being said, I'm not giving up on this series. I just hope Torunn can connect this to Ewing's story well enough.

There is some really good stuff here. Art is nice. Otto getting his memories back from Superior era is not something I was expecting. And that it was his main driving force is a very interesting plot. So mostly, this issue should be passable or good. If it not for some major issues. First, the placement. It's kinda horrible to be honest. Khamala died three issues ago and we haven't seen it affect anyone here really. We are now getting a wacky Doc Ock story, when it really should be an interlude or character study. You know, about Peter? How does he feel for a teenage hero to die under his watch? How does he feel about Kamala's law? He should be very conflicted, for he was one of the first teenagers who became super heroes. So what are his thoughts? But no, we get none of that. Because Peter is barely a character here. On a book called "Amazing Spider-Man" it sure does focus A LOT on Norman Osborn and the villains. Kamala's death seemingly affected Norman more than Peter. And the whole storyline is about Norman and Otto with Peter being there in the sidelines. There are some interesting stuff here (return of Rek-Rap is not that tho), but it's otherwise just teasing. It's like Zeb is writing something interesting, but doesn't use it to it's full potential. Another good example: Otto doesn't challenge Peter at all for working with Norman. Especially now that he is getting his memories back from Superior era. Otto of all people should know how much Peter hates Norman. But that is also barely a plot point. Peter has forgiven Norman way too easily. We got like one issue of it, when we should've gotten way more. Norman killed Gwen 50 years ago and came back roughly ~25 years ago. And they have been at each other's throats since then, until Spencer's run. And Peter is so cool with Norman? There is no interesting dialogue about it, or anything really. This could've been an interesting study on Otto challenging Peter for working with Norman, while also wanting revenge on Norman. All that would be much more riveting than this. What we got is not bad, but it's lacking severely. Peter has been very passive for years now in ASM (especially in Spencer's run). But it's starting to show how badly it affects ASM. Say what you want about Slott, at least he did SOMETHING with the character. Spencer did pretty much nothing except some retcons and Wells has been... well he does something. I don't know what, but something. Let's not forget that MJ lost kids she has had for almost 4 years and there is nothing about that either. Whatever you feel about the Paul stuff, you have to agree that it's kind of a travesty that in no way has Peter thought about how MJ is doing. "Cuck" """jokes""" aside, it would be pretty in-character for Peter to feel responsible for MJ losing those adopted kids to a villain who wanted revenge on Peter. But no, we get none of that either. Maybe later? Like 20 issues later like this storyline happened after #900? Like happens with most plot points that this book has? They are introduced, then almost forgotten until reintroduced 20 issues later. LOWE EVEN JOKES ABOUT THAT WITH REK-RAP. LOWE. THAT IS NOT A JOKE. THAT IS A CRITICISM THAT SHOWCASES HOW POORLY THIS RUN HAS BEEN PLANNED AND IT'S YOUR JOB TO DO BETTER AND FIX IT SO THAT IT DOESN'T HURT THIS BOOK LIKE THE POOR PLANNING HURT THE FIRST YEAR OF WELLS' ASM. BEING SELF-AWARE AND HIGHLIGHTING THE ISSUE JUST MAKES IT WORSE. I don't hate this run. I really don't. It gets way too much crap (some deserved, some not), but I am very frustrated because it has potential that is not used. Instead we get this stories that are kinda fine at best. This story should've happened before Dead Language arc and instead of the travesty that was that garbage we call Dark Web.

I think this is the best Dylan has been written by Ewing. Such creativity. But yeah, still loving this book, what else is new?

An okay conclusion to a run that became messy due to things outside of control. I still feel like Torunn did the best she could here, especially considering the circumstances.

 Batman / Superman: World's Finest (2022) #16 Jun 20, 2023

It's a very odd issue. Like, I don't know what this is trying to be. It's a continuation to #900 (that we don't need IMO), but 20 issues later. Which already is an odd placement. It's also continuation to Gold Goblin #5, which ended in such non-conclusive way, I didn't expect it to be continued now. It feels more like this is trying up storylines that were forgotten until someone reminded the Spidey office about it. Or maybe the first year was so poorly planned that it caused it to have major pacing issues and messy storytelling. But that couldn't be possible, could it? Black Cat is back... without any mention where she was during Dead Language arc. Which is... odd? If they setup her to be Peter's love interest for now, you would think she would've had a part in the biggest arc of the Wells' first year in ASM. It feels like we missed an issue here. I get that Fallen Friend will explore this more, but I would've hoped something here. Because now there is just... some talk between Norman and Peter. It's not bad, but it doesn't feel nearly enough. It doesn't feel like Ms Marvel actually died last issue. Of course, it doesn't help that she had such a small presence in ASM so that it's hard to really feel anything about her deaht. Then there is Otto. Whose writing leaves lot to be desired. I don't like this cartoonish take Wells has for Otto. It just feels regressive. And with Superior Spider-Man returning later this year, I don't know what this will accomplish. I don't have anything good to say about this issue really. Art was nice. I didn't hate it, but... boy did it not leave me with anything to be interested about. But. It's not the worse issue ever. And if you think it is, you really need to wonder why are you even reading ASM anymore. If last storyline didn't make you stop reading, I can't imagine this one is the one that makes you stop. If you actually hate this run so much, don't read it. Don't just complain every other week how bad it is, but continue to read it. Because it just gives a picture you want to complain and need something to complain about. And that is just getting tiring. This run deserves criticism, but spamming every other week "FIRE WELLS, WELLS BAD, THIS RUN BAD, HORRIBLE BAD, TERRIBLE, BAD!!!!!" doesn't help anyone. Because criticize this issue for what it does badly or poorly, not just what previous issues did. If we base whole runs on only some issues, JMS run was terrible (it had both Sins Past and OMD) and Spencer's run too (his final issue, What Cost Victory is a atrocious garbage and dumpster fire that should've been rewritten or never released).

Banger after banger. I love you Jed.

I liked it.

It's epic. Just epic.

This is what I like to call "perfectly fine".

Ready indeed.

Umm... so I have a LOT of thoughts about this comic. Maybe the biggest one is... I don't hate it? I think it's kinda okay-ish, not-bad-not-good-but-more-good-than-bad? I KNOW I KNOW. Hear me out, put the pitchforks down. Let's start with the good. I said, put the pitchforks down. I kinda liked the art. Especially whenever Rabin was on scene, his ritual scenes were great. Everything looked kinda amazing. Faces tho, JRJR I love you and always will, but... yeah. Not as amazing to say kindly. And the writing? Well it's mostly good. I re-read the previous issues of this arc and they felt better? A bit? And I was invested on this comic too. I cared what happened and, there were many good scenes. As a singular comic, I liked it. And then came the death scenes. I must be honest, the idea works, how it goes down and all. I think had it not been spoiled, it would've kinda worked... ...had it not been Ms Marvel who dies. I'm not going to pretend that I'm a huge Kamala fan or anything, but this was not the place for it. Not the ASM book. Kamala has been barely a presence here, so her being gone just feels wrong. I remember when I first heard about it and I thought "this must be a troll or something, this is so stupid." I actually laughed becayse I was so sure it was a joke. But it wasn't. So no, this doesn't feel right, nor was it done well. So if you are a massive Kamala fan, or just like her in general, and feels this to be a massive injustice to her, I get you, I won't disagree with you. It's not the worse thing ever for me, but I can recognize how badly it was done. Then the other big thing. Like I said, I still kinda enjoyed this comic. As a singular comic, it's mostly good. As a finale to this "Death Language" -arc, it's still mostly good. As a finale to the first year of ASM, it's terrible. It's bad. I hope you are still hearing me, because I feel now some of you might agree with me more. During the past year, ASM has been plagued by this mystery box and the run has suffered for it. Heavily. There has been good issues (opening arc, Hobgoblin arc) and atrocius ones (#900, Dark Web). It has been hard to sometimes enjoy this run and while this finally gives us some answers, it doesn't make it better in hindsight. Paul finally gets some character. Which is nice. I never hated him (although I love the memes), but this could've been brought up so much earlier to make us care about Paul. Especially since we have barely seen him. The flashbacks do work, but I would've wished to see them previously. Same with the kids. A lot people enjoyed seeing them gone, and while I'm happy I was right about them being related to Wayeb'/Rabin, I just wish we would've seen them more. That I would care about them being gone more. And Rabin as a villain was just poorly done. There was nothing interesting about him, and this family relation would've improved a lot, had it been brought up previously. His previous appearance in #555-557 worked much better for me (although that might be the nostalgia speaking, those were my ASM first comics I got when my mother started ASM subscription. Not my first ASM issues, but the first storyline I got to read fully). To a lot of people, this arc is too little, too late. And I kinda agree. It doesn't justify the poor writing and messy pacing this run has had, nor did we need to wait this for a year. It doesn't feel like it's worth it. And this is coming from someone who has liked (parts of) this run and this storyline too. Had the run started with this arc and then concluded with #900 with someone else dying, I feel like this would've worked a lot better. But, now as it is, this doesn't make this run retroactively better. It just makes me dislike editorial more. So in conclusion/TLDR: not to the worst comic. Not the worst storyline (like seriously, Dark Web exists and it was WAY worse than this). Better than you might think it is. Ms Marvels' death still doesn't work, nor does storyline this save this run. However, I won't give up on this run. I feel like we can FINALLY move forward and to some interesting storylines. And just move past... whatever this is. I still somewhat-ish trust Wells, but if you stop this run because of this storyline and how it was handled (Ms Marvel's death especially), I don't blame ya.

Still a very enjoyable series.

It's better than before but still a bit messy. I'm finally starting to become interested in this story and it gets concluded in the next issue, which feels sad. But consideringthe situation, I get why.

It's a very interesting issue. After two issues of Eddie's journey, we are back with Dylan dealing with Osborns. I enjoyed what there was, but it felt a bit odd to place it here. I do miss Ram V's writing for Dylan. I liked his voice for Dylan more than I do Ewing's.

It's Jed MacKay, I knew he wouldn't disappoint. But this was a really strong start. I quit Aaron's Avengers after it started to become too non-sensical, so this was a great starting point.

A slower, but enjoyable second part to this event.

Continues to be good-ish. I don't have huge problems with this, but it could be better.

For a storyline that started to get a bit boring near the end, this was a great finale. Full of fan-service, but I didn't mind.

It's starting to get really hard to enjoy this. It feels just messy. And a bit boring.

I must admit, I don't see the hate for this issue. Another "passable" one, that you can read. I didn't really feel anything for this issue. This 6-part storyline has felt very messy, oddly paced, but I hoped it would get better. Now it's just... meh. There isn't anything really here for me to grab. Art was fine I suppose. MJ's backstory was... fine I suppose? Some twist with the kids, but otherwise the plot is very straight-forward and doesn't have any twists or interesting stuff to talk about. Biggest problem here is the lack of good writing for the Scribbled Man Rabin. He was much more enjoyable and memorable in his BND appearance than he is now. I don't feel anything when I see him, he is not threatening, or particularly interesting. I just want him gone. I can't wait for this storyline to be done. This past year of ASM has been very messy because of it, and I just wanna move on. I think Wells wants too. If this is all this entire storyline will offer, it feel like a massive fake-out. A year worth of messy storytelling is not justified by this lackluster straigth-forward story with a forgettable villain. I sincerely hope I am wrong about this, since I still somewhat believe in Wells and want this run to succeed.

Eyo! WTF!

I liked everything that was offered here. Gleason please come back to ASM. I miss you there, your art is amazing.

It's literally crazy how amazing this series is.

God I love this series.

Yeah, considering the situation, it's okay. It's not good as it had potential to be, but I think it's was best it could be after Donny left the title. Ottley killed it with the art tho.

It's a very enjoyable ride. No matter what you think of current state of ASM, this book still shines. And that is all thanks to Jed and the amazing artists he worked with on this.

Okay. After reading it, it's still not the worst issue ever. This still isn't the worst run ever. Like yeah, I want MJ and Peter to be together. Yes, this run has had it's issues (tee-hee). Especially in pacing and overall structure. But, this just isn't the worst ever. I feel like some fans are just expecting that there isn't anything else here except face value. And some people just assume MJ is a victim of Stockholm syndrome(???) and Paul can't keep it in his pants and that is how the kids were born. Even when Zeb has shown there is something deeper going on with them. My theory? I just think they are both halves of Wayeb, reincarnated in child forms of MJ and Peter, due to them being marked as sacrifices. It's wacky, but that is comics for you. One ofthe inspirations for that was Steph/Romy asking for clowns and if they had ears. Peter being called the sunblood clownpriest (who hasn't had his ears shown when wearing the mask) just feels like there is something deeper going on. But maybe I am just coping here, who knows. That's not to say this issue was particularly the best. It feels lacking. JRJR going cosmic was amazing and F4 was written in pretty funny way. I enjoyed the little there is, but it doesn't feel like there was much. We have to wait 3 weeks for #25 and then 3 weeks for #26 and it feels like that is where the meat of this story is. And that is not really good for 6-part storyline. So yeah, not the best issue. It felt more interlude. But not the worst either. Nor is this 1/10. More like... 6/10? I dunno.

Art is great. Ottley does his best with the script, but knowing this series will end the next issue, all this kinda feels like a waste.

I wanna enjoy this more, but the interaction between MJ and Felicia feels forced, since there so much more one could write about them. I feel Jed being very restricted to what to write. But what is here is great.

 Moon Knight (2021) #21 Mar 9, 2023

I don't hate it. I'm honest. Since this really is a trip down of a memory lane. Fun fact, when my mom first started ordering me Spider-Man every month (here it comes only once a month including 2 issues), it was 2009. And the first arc that it included from start to finish was 555-557. So Wells' Wayeb/Rabin arc is very nostalgic to me. I remember being very excited for it, when I was like 12. So it is and always will be nostalgic for me. Which is why, I don't hate this. I really don't. For a one good reason. There is nothing to hate. Paul and kids are non-existent, so I don't even bother complaining about them. They do nothing, nor do they mean anything for me, so I just don't care about them. But. There is nothing to like here. Plot moves very slowly and barely anywhere. I get why they didn't start the series with this storyline. The first issue offers nothing for readers. There is nothing to hate really. Art is... fine? But nothing to like either. So don't waste your hatred of this run for this issue. There are more interesting issues to talk about. And this isn't one of them. The biggest crime this issue does is for being such a meh one. If you like it, good. If you hate it, good. I can't be bothered to do either. Did Wells and Co. overpromise this? Maybe. But it isn't the first time for Lowe and certainly won't be the last time.

It's alright.

A successful finale to a great series. Nothing more needs to be said.

It's pretty good. Dowling's art is great and I have no issues with writing. I haven't read Schultz work before, but she got me interested. It's also nice to have some kind of mention about Kaine. This is like the first time since Spider-Geddon that anybody remembers he exists.

Wow. Damn this is good.

Before I give my thoughts about this issue, I wanna talk about this series overall. It's currently heavily disliked by the vocal part of the ASM fanbase, and especially this issue's leaked panels just added fuel to the fire. Wells' style is very BND-esque. And tbh, his stories would fit more with BND that happened ~15 years ago than now. Especially since we don't know what caused this "Wells' BND", 10 months later. So, overall, I don't like the premise. But Wells' run hasn't had the time to shine either. 20 issues in and only abouty half of them are actually part of Wells' own run. Only half of them are not tie-in, anniversary issue, part of an event or written by a guest. So it's still too early for me to say this is the worst run ever, we haven't really seen what the run could be. Since I feel like it never had the opportunity to even shine from the start. Like only 10 issues of this run have actually been Wells moving forward his own storyline. And that is not a lot. I say all this, to give an idea that I do not dislike this run. It has ideas I disagree with, some I dislike heavily, but most of them work because Wells writes them pretty okay. I dislike feeling that they come from BND -era, but I still enjoy issues that actually go somewhere. This issue itself just didn't work for me. Dodson's art was very messy and most of this issue was just action. That had bad art. Kelly's dialogue was mostly okay, but the second part made this whole two-parter feel rushed and forgettable. And the final pages? I thought with added context they would flow better, make more sense, but... nope. It feels very out-of-place, maybe because guest writer wrote it, but... I don't get it. And Felicia dating Peter is not something I hate, but for now it hasn't shown to be worth it, especially since Jed did wonders with Felicia's character. The pairing is cute and if MJ isn't the focus, why not have Peter date Felicia. I just hope it goes somewhere and isn't forgotten in the following three months. Felicia deserves better. So this issue was a mess. Just... not good, even if I enjoyed the first part. And Peter and MJ are not happening. I really hate the idea, but let's pretend I accept it. The next arc will focus on what Peter did 6 months ago (because of MJ) which feels... odd? To first say Peter doesn't love MJ that way anymore to immediately jump to a storyline where them caring for each other is the main focus (so much so that Peter fights FF and works with Norman). And that just feels odd? Like what is this run trying to do. I started this by explaining my thoughts on Wells' run. Why? Because I wanted to say that even if I didn't like this issue that much, disliked Dark Web heavily and this run's plan is very perplexing, that doesn't mean Wells' run is "the worst ever". Because it really isn't. The first arc is really good. And this run has had so much potential. But I just wish this was an actually 20th issue of Wells' run and not the 10th "placeholder-issue". But because this is just a placeholder and Wells' run hasn't gone anywhere still like only 10 issues (1-5, 7-8 and 11-13) have actually been his own thing. Yeah, mostly rambling. So TLDR: 4,5/10, mostly bad because the art, "MJ is like a sister to me" didn't help.

It's still enjoyable, but this "drama" is what keeps it from being great.

I'll be honest. This was really good. Filler sure, but really good nevertheless. And Bagley doing the art? Just fantastic.

Beyond the White Knight never really felt as good as the previous two entries. It felt like it had too much going on, and because of that, not enough material to create more interesting stories, and instead only playing it safe. Terry never really felt like a real character, only a plot device. But even with all this, I did like this. It wasn't the definitive conclusion to Murphy's White Knight trilogy that I wanted it to be, but it was fine enough.

I'll be honest. This was really fun. I'm really confused on why we suddenly had a guest creative team on ASM (can't remember the last time this happened), but I don't mind. Kelly wrote this event well, it's a nice change of pace after Dark Web that I welcome. Seeing MJ and Paul here didn't ruin this for me, I don't really hate Paul because we have seen so little of him. So I'm indifferent about it. I don't like the idea, but we'll see where it goes. The only big prolem for me here is Dodson's art feeling a bit messy and unfinished at times. I loved his work on Marvel Knights, part of the reason why I love Millar's Down Among Dead men, Venomous and Last Stand is Dodson's great art. Here it just doesn't work as well. But that doesn't ruin this issue. I'm looking forward to the conclusion. Maybe I like this so much because my standards for ASM aren't that high currently. At least this didn't include character assassination(s) like Dark Web did.

It's pretty epic, ngl.

Hawthorne's art isn't as good as Jimenez or Romero, but I still enjoyed this issue.

It continues to be really good. Better than it has any right to be.

As a finale to an event I mostly disliked, this is good. Kubert's art was amazing and this managed to tie up most of the plotlines other tie-ins introduced. This just works as a finale, even if the event itself was bad. And it felt that Wells wanted all along to just write this kind of event. And the atrocious miss-handling of Ben was the only way they managed to make this a Spider-Man event. Although I am confused that Peter still didn't share his memories with Ben. Or what even happened to Ben, does he still feel the chasm inside of him. Dark Web was a horrible Spider-Man event that never seemed to know what it wanted to be. From Ben to odd pacing to conflicting tone, the event just didn't work. But the finale did.

I really liked this. What an amazing tie-in. Everything here just worked. I'm looking forward what happens next.

It's a very perplexing issue. It's... certainly something. If we put the atrocius and horribly written direction for Ben aside, it's passable. It's a demonic invasion that doesn't take itself too seriously, with great art from McGuinness. So as it's own, it's okay. If we ignore the "wtf is this bs" they did with Ben. (King Chasm...?) But as an event, it's very messy. Pacing for it was off, it felt like not a lot happened in the main book of the event. And the tone was all over the place. This feels like a parody version of the opening issue of Dark Web. Or that the writer changed the direction heavily after that. Tie-ins too take this much more seriously. And because of the tonal inconsistencies, it's hard to enjoy this event as a whole. Gold Goblin, X-Men and Venom all took this event to a very different direction than Wells. Which just confuses me so much. So as a penultimate issue of Dark Web, it's not good. As it's own issue, it's not that bad. So let's give it a meh.

I really like how Eving and Ram are using Dark Web crossover to move their own story forward, instead of taking a break while this event happens to focus on demon shenanigans. This is the best kind of tie-in I would say. The issue itself is fine. Not the best and New York looks to have a lot less demons in it, but writing is still solid.

It's not perfect, but it's good. There are some issues here, I really think this could've been longer, but I enjoyed it. Bane has been one of my favorite Batman rogues, so I was excited for this.

It's better than last time. The scenes of Peter working for Hell Bugle were enjoyable and all, but... This is just so stupid. Ben isn't the focus as much here, which means I am not reminded how terribly he has been written. It still annoys me whenever I see him talking. The "Sinister" Six is also just... what. All this just feels so random and goofy. It's not at all what I hoped Dark Web would be after such a strong opening. Now, it's not entirely negative that the comic isn't what I want it to be, if it otherwise is written well and drawn. This isn't... terrible, but I just can't enjoy this when the event itself still baffles me. It feels like tie-ins take this event much more seriously than the event itself.

 Human Target (2021) #10 Jan 11, 2023

Another entertaining issue. I don't like how Felicia's main focus is on how to tell MJ about her and Peter, but I can't blame MacKay too much for that. He can't focus on MJ either too much, since we still don't know what happened and MacKay can't talk about it. So it's as good as a tie-in like this could be, and none of it is thanks to Wells and Lowe.

Why are't the main issues as good as these tie-ins are...

New year, same old Zdarsky. I had no idea where this would go after Failsafe. I still don't, but I am very interested.

 Batman: Beyond the White Knight #7 Jan 1, 2023

This is so bad and so forced. It's really hard to enjoy this part of the event when it's just Spider-Man vs Chasm and Chasm is written horribly. Like nothing Ben does makes any sense. What is his end goal? Like after he has memories back from Peter, what then??? Will he just live with himself and the Parker guilt, knowing he unleashed demons from Limbo who hurt and maybe killed innocent civilians??? I hate everything they've done with Ben and because he is the focus of this event and especially this issue, it's really hard to enjoy anything about it. Maybe McGuiness's art?

It's amazing.

It's way better than it has any right to be. For an event as messy and badly written as Dark Web, Ewing does make this work. I do wish it focused on Eddie more than Janice.

I still like it. This is most interesting Norman has been in a long time. And I like how this is explored. Sure, the costume isn't the best, but it's passable. Writing here is strong and so is how Norman's character is handled.

It's written by MacKay. You know it's good. It's another story where I really dislike the idea, but the execution is done pretty well.

It's... passable. It's not the worse comic I've read, but after a solid opening, this felt much more cartoonish and not as good. The opening gave me a sense that this would be more of a horror event, this part feels more from Scooby-Doo. Maybe it's because the art change, but the writing too feels much more childish. I still dislike what they did with Ben. And this even still doesn't feel like a Spider-Man event. It's just... not what Spider-Man run currently needs. But it is entertaining. Venom being straight from the 90s is an odd move, but I'll read the tie-ins before I judge that move more.

I didn't like the prelude. I still am baffled by the idea. But I did really like this. It was nice to finally have some acknowledgement from Harrys' death. And seeing other people around Peter that weren't just Norman. I missed all that. But this was a solid opening. Kubert's art was amazing here.

I liked it. I really did. Vicentini's energetic art really fits this comic.

Every time "chosen one" nonsense is not brought up, it's entertanining. Every time it is, it's boring nonsense.

Zdarsky sold me in the first arc. I'm interested to see more.

 Daredevil (2022) #5 Nov 26, 2022

The whole idea of Dark Web has been so confusing to me. Having an event so soon after Wells started his run feels odd. Since I don't feel enough has happened character-wise to Peter. And then the event itself. Crossover between X-Men, Venom and Spider-Man to fight demons from Limbo? That really doesn't feel like a Spider-Man event, even if Ben is the antagonist. But the idea of Ben doing that also just feels so... odd. Clone Conspiracy has it's issues, but at least it felt like a Spider-Man event and not just random stuff mashed together. I just... I don't see this working. So with those thoughts, I still wanted to give Dark Web a chance. Because I have been enjoying Wells' run mostly. The whole run has ideas I heavily dislike or ideas that confuse me, but Wells seem to make them work. Maybe this would do? Sadly, that isn't the case. This just doesn't work for me. I don't really care and Ben being just full-on villain (again, just after being "redeemed" from Clone Conspiracy) just doesn't work. And Janice? Just... eh. It all feels so forced. Just so that this event would happen. Art is fine-ish, but I feel like none of the artists bring their A-game to this. All of the art feels unfinished and the writing just feels like a fever dream came to comic. It's odd that Venom had me more excited for Dark Web than this. And you know the oddest part? This event is the biggest thing that has been marketed for this series. This random event that has forced motivations for characters so that they could be baddies. I have zero ideas what will happen to this run after this and I'm starting to lose interest too.

What a wonderful issue. The pacing has slowed, but it doesn't bother me. It's an issue that we don't see so often. How the "prey" sees their "predator", The Dark Knight. And it's done well.

I liked it.

 Batman (2016) #129 Nov 14, 2022

It's fine. Would be so much better without the "chosen one" plot. Bagley does a lot of the saving with his wonderful art.

I liked it. I'm really enjoying this run, even if I have no reason to, since the status quo should be something I heavily dislike. But it still works for me. Sure, I don't like how over-reliant Peter feels to Osborn's suit sometimes, but I still enjoy this.

Last issue wasn't amazing, just great. But we are back to being amazing again. Moon Knight is currently the best series Marvel has to offer (besides Venom) for me.

I love this series so much. It made me hyped for Dark Web even.

A fine ending to a really enjoyable mini-series.

It's the worst issue of the series. So instead of being amazing, it's just great.

What? It's good and I'm enjoying this. So sue me. (Actually please don't, I have very little money right now.)

It's a travesty how this series isn't praised enough.

It's fine. It's not as good as the previous two entries, but I enjoy every part I read.

It can feel like filler. Like this issue was wasted on this part, as nothing moves forward. And King wanted it to feel like that. It makes this feel more believable, as not every day something special happens. Grodd I love this series.

I really liked this. It was great.

I'm late on this. As someone who sometimes truly dislikes King's work, I loved this. It was amazing. Simply put amazing. The amount of misdirection Edward gives here is just wonderful. Was the Killing Joke truly his idea? Or did he just make Gordon more angry, because he knew it would work? I really liked this.

A great ending to very good storyline. I know, Zdarsky rarely disappoints me, but I was surprised how much I liked this, even when at the beginning I wasn't that interested.

It's a good ending. The final pages are however something I am not that interested in, but otherwise I liked this.

It's definitely something interesting. I really like this universe and Murphy's art and vision for it is wonderful. There are some moments that make me question it a bit, but otherwise it's another solid entry.

A bit confusing, but entertaining issue.

 Daredevil (2022) #3 Oct 17, 2022

I thought I would miss Checchetto but Latorre has great art too. And Zdarsky always delivers.

I'm usually very confused these days when I read Wells' Amazing Spider-Man. The reason is that it has a lot of elements I should dislike, but Wells makes them work kinda sorta. There are interesting things going and, even if they move slowly. But the pacing has been slow so far, so it shouldn't surprise. In short? I kinda liked it. I'm interested to see where this goes. I know that a lot fans currently dislike this run, and I can see why, but I personally just can't. It kinda works for me.

Still great.

I have to admit... I don't hate this. There are a lot of things I don't like, like "the chosen one", but otherwise I liked it. I don't hate Slott's run, and my view on his writing was always mixed. When it's good, it is so good, but when it isn't , it's... not that good to put it nicely. But this? I'm okay with this. Sure, Peter's additude is different to what it is in Wells' run, but I don't mind it. Nice to see him do something Spider-Man-esque.

Oh, I've missed being excited for Batman and not disappointed after reading it.

Huh. It's a tie-in that works. Dragotta's art doesn't, but there are many good moments here.

I missed this series so much.

While this run started to be a bit jarring in the end, it was otherwise a very good run on Miles. Saladin did wonders with the character and I'm interested to see what's next. This was a good wrap-up.

A enjoyable crossover.

I loved everything about this.

It has nice team-up between Logan and Pete and wonderful art from Gleason. That makes this a pretty good read. The final panels... not so much. It's irritating, but we'll see what happens next.

It's not perfect, but a lot of the stories are great. Some are even amazing.

It's interesting. Such an odd, but interesting route for this character to take. And I am enjoying it.

Huh. No really, that's all I have to say about this comic. Not because it's bad, disappointing or anything like that (like #900 was), it's just... I have nothing else to say about it. So I'm going to continue telling how little I have to say about this. Everything here works... ish. Sure the mystery is there, so if that's not your cup of tea, this issue might anger you more than it did me. For me? It was... fine. But likewise, this issue isn't great like thefirst 5 issues turned out to be, but then again, only after re-reading them I grew to like the arc more. Maybe the same will happen with this one.

It's not bad, but it is not what I expected it to be Also, this whole timeline feels very off. Wasn't Jason supposed to be Bruce's guardian after Curse of the White Knight?

This was crazy good. My favorite issue of the series. Jed MacKay keeps on delivering!

If no one else except Jed wrote Black Cat in Marvel, I would perfectly fine with it.

EDIT: After reading this again, this just felt even worse than before. It's Spidey's 60th anniversary and 900th issue and this is what we get??? Well this was a very odd read. I'm perplexed by this issue. And very mixed. Like, this story feels very filler(-ish). It really doesn't move the main story forward (except with "development" which is very... interesting?). But at least this doesn't annoy me nearly as much like #875 did with it's 10 dollar asking price (I will always hate Spencer's What Cost Victory). The story itself is... fine? Like there is nothing bad about it. But it just feels so random. There wasn't really buildup on it (besides that small tease in #1), nor does it include any big moments. Like Spidey teaming up with Sinister Six fighting a Sinister Adaptoid? Cool I guess. But this just doesn't feel like a big milestone issue, like #400, #500, #600, #700 and #800 did. I prefer all of those before this. It's not that bad, but it's not any in way a meaningful or an interesting read. Just a... fun story. And maybe that's enough for you. But not enough for me. And no, it doesn't reveal anything about Spidey's current status quo, so there's that. It just... exists. There is also a big problem with characterization here. Anna drooling over Otto? What? Most of the Sinister Six just being cartoonish bad guys? Vin Gonzales??? Peter sees Flash returning from the dead and is like "cool"? Most is Felicia. After Nick set her up as a friend and Jed made such wonders with her character in her book, this hook-up feels... just unnecesessary. And since it doesn't really end any big story (like 400, 500, 700, 800 did), or tease anything new (like #600 did), or have anything in it really, it just exists. It's not... that bad, like I said. But certainly not worth this milestone number. And to be clear, I did not expect this to "reverse OMD" or "reveal everything about what happened in 6 months", but I did expect something more. Not just a... Spidey vs. Sinister Six. Like after Sinister War and it's Sinister Thirty-Six, I didn't really need to see them as a team again. It just felt very random. Like this story. Art is great in all of the stories. Backups are... okay? (except the Kimmel one, I did not care). In closing, Wells writes this series like a Brand New Day -comics 14-15 years ago. And this issue would be a lot better, if we were living in that era. But we are not.

Oh boy what a start. But it's Zdarsky and Checcheto. What else did you expect?

What a start to a new arc. So glad this isn't over. And "the talk"? Oh boy...

What is this? Intruiging writing finally with Jimenez's art? So that it's not the only good thing about ongoing Batman book? I liked this. But not as much as I wanted to. This wasn't as fresh start as I wanted this to be, but maybe I had too high hopes. Zdarsky is currently one of my favourite writers. It's not bad by any means. A lot of stuff happens here in the first issue and the status quo is changed. But not every single aspect is interesting. I'm not sure where Zdarsky will takes us, but I am hopeful. It's odd to be hopeful about Batman's ongoing series. williamson's run wasn't bad but it was just a placeholder. I just hope I won't be disappointed for the third time (like with King and Tynion). If I am, shame on me.

Killing Time? More like "Killing my interest". It's not that bad but the joke was better.

I have been enjoying this a lot. I've skipped Dark Crisis as it has too much buildup for my taste, but this? This is good.

I had forgotten this series would come out. I love these two working together and I want to see more. Jed and Pere, keep on delievering!

I picked this up recently. I had stopped reading this after #5 but decided to give this another go. And I enjoyed it. This was much better than Tynion's Batman. It's not perfect. But it's enjoyable read that had pretty good art with it. But the Punchline story? Instant skip, I just don't care.

For the first arc, this wasn't bad all. Of course, Nick Lowe cannot write a synopsis, even if his life depended on it, but we are sadly used to that by now. But otherwise, I can't say I hated this. It was good. Sure, this doesn't have any revelations or answers for Peter's current life, so if you are after that, you gonna have to wait with the rest of us. I don't really know either where Zeb will take us next. #900's premise doesn't seem that interesting (when Peter fought against 36 enemies at the same time, fighting a Adaptoid made only from 6 of them doesn't seem like a big foe), but hey, I'm ready to be pleasently surprised. I had been this far. But maybe it's because I have zero expectations for this run. Maybe you should have too!

What a waste. But at least it's over. Everything about the writing of this series was just so... wrong, bad or poorly done. There really aren't ideas here I like. And I like the execution even less. Only the art saves this from being a 1.

"something something, this comic sucks because MJ and Peter not married and OMD not undone, something something" In all honesty, this was great. Like really great. Wells' run has been growing on me and this proves that he could have what it takes to makes this truly memorable, in a good way.

I'm still enjoying this series, but it is becoming a little random here and there. However, there is still enough here to enjoy.

Interesting ending. I want to see more.

There was no reason for this mini-series to be as good as it was. What a great finale. I hope with this, Marvel can bring Ben back as himself, not as wannabe-Kaine.

I'm really liking this. It's good. I've reread previous issues and they are better than I reviewed them at first. And hey, no missleading cover, eh? That wasn't so hard, was it Lowe? But JRJR's art thou. I started rereading his and JMS' run and my grodd was his art so much better back then...

There are some good pieces here, some not-so-good and one amazing made by one and only Kevin Conroy. And for that alone, it deserves at least 9.

It's fun. Just... fun. And that's all I want to be.

It's just so good. I'm loving this series so much.

For someone who skipped Shadow War, this was a nice epilogue to Williamson's Batman story. It was a bit pointless and looking back, just a placeholder for Zdarsky, but I still enjoyed it.

I love this and the fact that this will continue after #12.

What an odd choice for cover and synopsis. Yes, they have been misleading before, but I can't remember a last time when a character appeared on the cover of ASM and didn't appear at all in the comic itself, or had nothing to do with the story. I'm just confused. That's just... wrong. Like what the hell Marvel? Especially, what the hell Lowe??? But, back to the issue. It's fine? Like yeah, Peter isn't that big of an asshole that we haven't seen previously. Peter, like a normal human being, isn't always virtuous, happy and nice guy. And he clearly is doing badly currently. It's not anything new, but it would be nice to know the reason for it. But again, it's not out-of-character for Peter. One of the reasons I like him so much is that he can have his bad days (like we all do) and the writers aren't afraid to show them. I like what Wells is doing with Tombostone. I like where this is going. I'm interested. Same with Norman. I'm so glad Wells isn't ignoring that part of Spencer's run. It's something new. But the art? JRJR, I love you, but this isn't as good as it has been before. Sure, those comics are like 12-20 years old, but whereas Bagley still delivers gold every time he is the artist, JRJR seems to downgraded somewhat. I don't hate the art, but I don't love it. So a 7/10, could be worse?

It's a crazy ride. But a very enjoyable one. With great art.

I would've liked the events of El Paso be told in a Hulk part, but otherwise I really liked this.

Not gonna lie. I really liked this. It's exactly what it markets itself to be. And if you don't like the idea, you probably won't like the execution.

This is just so good. I didn't think DeMatteis could make Spidercide so interesting. And hey, the name of this storyline finally makes some sense, eh?

Both artist and the writer were unknown to me, so I had no expectations for this. So I was pleasently surprised. However, I'm very confused by the continuity. This seemingly isn't the same Miguel we were introduced in Spencer's 2099 event few years back. Because the world seems entirely different and there is no mention of Doom.

I don't know why, but I keep liking this. Maybe King has brainwashed me when I was reading Human Target or something. That man walks in a thin line between a genius and a hack. And Marquez still does wonders. I hope to see him back in Miles' books some day

They mystery is getting more and more interesting. I'm getting more hooked. Get it? It's fishing pun, you know, Aquaman and... yeah. Art was great though.

Well. That was a start. Let's start with the art. JRJR is one of my favourite artists. The second Spidey comic I read was with his art and I've been a fan of him since. It wasn't as strong here as it was back then, but good enough for me. And the story? Well... It's complicated. I saw another reviewer saying "if you don't like it, don't read it and buy it". And it makes sense. Why bother reading something you know you will dislike? And I get that. Although It's hard for me, I've been a fan of Spidey for over 20 years and reading his comics as soon I learned how to read. So it would take a lot for me to just stop buying and reading his comics. And this is not so bad that I would stop now. In fact. It's actually fine. It has ideas I don't like. But those ideas are executed well. And I can respect that. Overall, this comic is just teasing and setup and reasons for readers to continue reading. Time skip, mystery and whatnot. Does it work here? Well... it would if the outcome would not be as tiring and bothersome. Spencer's run was refreshing, because he fixed all those problems in Peter's life. And now Wells seems to undo everything here. Does it bother me? Yes. Am I still intrigued? ...yes. As I said. I don't hate this. It's fine. I'm interested and I'm giving this book a shot. Wells is not a bad writer. His vision is not something everybody likes and I completely understand if you don't. It doesn't bother me enough to stop reading this. But it might bother you. TLDR: 7/10, could be worse, not a bad start, but not the best one either.

Really good stuff here.

I'm really enjoying this one. Granted, Murphy can do no wrong in my eyes, so I'm very based. But he really should stopping delivering if he wants "fair reviews".

It is truly an amazing story made by Lemire. Everything here just works.

At this point I'm just enjoying the ride.

It could be worse. It's not as bad as the previous issues. But that's the highest praise I can give it. I've wasted so much time on this series, so might as well finish it.

It's pretty good. I'm not completely hooked, but I'm not disappointed. However, Risso's art isn't that great in my opinion. It feels... unfinished.

Zdarksy delivers.

I wish the show was as good as this...

It's alright.

It's an odd one. This didn't feel like true ending, just setting things up more. Sure, Zeb Wells continues as the writer, so I'm not that against it. It just feels odd to end this volume with... such a non-conclusive ending. Art was great. As Gleason usually is. It was nice to see thoe flashbacks to Clone Saga, to part of me wishes Bagley redraw the scenes he first did 25 years ago. As for the story itself? I'm... conflicted. More and more I'm just wondering, why didn't they use Kaine? He would've been a much better choice. Now Ben is just left with... something? This all felt like regression. Ben is now the same man he was before his tenure as Spider-Man, except even more confused, lost and angry. I don't know. I liked most of the stuff here. I'm kinda interested what Wells will bring with Vol 6. But this one could've been better.

It ended sooner than I wanted it to end. But I still enjoyed the ride.

This was amazing start to the third part of Murphy's White Knight trilogy. I can't wait for more.

 Ben Reilly: Spider-Man (2022) #2 Mar 28, 2022

The one guy who I never thought would be back is back. And I'm so thankful for that.

Fans of Guy might not be a huge fans of this issue. Or this series. I'm not a fan of Guy, so... I love this.

So, this was rushed. It felt like Spencer was forced to wrap up everything he had done for Chameleon, Teresa, Foreigner, Jamie and what else. So this event felt very small and at disconnected. Spider-Man didn't even meet Chameleon here, nor did Dimitri do this "biggest play" of his (thank you once again for false marketing Nick!) It's not terrible, and I don't blame Spencer for having to rush this, but... It's not that good either.

Beyond once again showcases it really doesn't grasp what kind of scope it wants to have. Is Beyond a bigger event with multiple characters, or is it focused on Ben Reilly once again being Spider-Man? And this is why this one is not very good for me. It's a collection of side-stories that finish any storyline that felt was dropped the issue it was introduced. And none of them really interest me. Queen Goblin for sure and the Daughters of the Dragon somehway. Everything else? I just didn't care. So I don't think this was important. Or necessary to read. Writers seemed to have fun but I didn't. And why was Monica here? It felt like she had a big connection to Beyond but I had no idea what it was. And she also felt very out-of-place. Like the Slingers.

This is so hard to describe. How can someone feel so slow, yet so rushed at the same time? The revelations here are a mixed bag. Some work, some don't. Overall a very messy finish to Spencer's run, which I had enjoyed until Chameleon Conspiracy. That wasn't bad, just meh. But this? This is not a good one.

I really liked this one.

So, that felt like a waste of time. Not a lot happened here, pretty skippable to be honest.

It's odd to think Beyond will end. Sure, this is pretty good, but ending it now feels so sudden. Like there hasn't been enough buildup. Looking back now, I sure wish the earlier parts would've been much better, so that this ending didn't need to do all the character work for Ben. As for Ben, I'm getting a bit Kaine-vibes now. I don't like it. When Beyond first started, I remember saying Kaine would've been the better choice for this role. Right now, Ben is just eh. I don't really care for him. Then again, I haven't cared for him since his first death.

HOLY MOLY FISK. Do you guys remember the door scene in DD Season 1? One of this moments in this book is like that. Just switch the words "embarrased me" to "you messed up my mind".

Sabbatini's art felt messy or unfinished at times. But that is my only problem with this. I really liked this one.

This series is still good.

It's slow. Good, but slow. It's hard to figure out what the big picture is, since this is kinda slow issue. But good.

It's pretty good. However, I would've liked this to be the original 3-parter, as it currently felt a bit too long, while the ending felt rushed.

It's pretty good. I do wish Ben would've gotten more focus, so I would care about his character more.

This better not end with #12.

It's not the best conclusion I hoped for, but good enough. Molina's art was phenomenal.

David Marquez drawing Batman? Man, was it a pleasant surprise. As for King's script, it was good. As usual, they are always a coinflip for me. They are either great, or boring and tedious to read. Thankfully, this was the former.

It's just that good.

For someone with no connection to this character, this was a wonderful start. Smallwood is one of my favourite artists and King showcases how good writer he can be.

It's good. Slow, but good.

 Miles Morales: Spider-Man (2018) #35 Feb 23, 2022

Bagley drawing a whole issue of Spider-Man? I've missed that. It's odd to have two of my favourite current artists of ASM working together on a book where the other is a writer. But Gleason's script is good here. I'm a bit confused how that Goblin Gaze works but then again, this is normal comic book stuff. Overall a very good part of the Beyond storyline. But I do wanna see more Ben though...

I liked the first issue, but this? This just felt like it dragged on and the writer desided Otto to be much more two-dimensional now. A disappointment for sure.

Ottley's art is so good and fits so well in this book. From Stegman to Klein to Ottley, Cates works very well with artists who bring his vision to comic book medium. As for the script? It's fine. It's fun and enjoyable still. Sure there are some big problems like the unanswered questions we have, but I'm fine with it for now.

 Thor (2020) #22 Feb 16, 2022

OH. This was something else.

Such a good read. Now, I liked the first part, not as much like the others, but it was solid. This I liked much more. I'm really liking how this series is told. Zdarsky seems to have a clear plan what he wants to do with Bruce and I'm all for it.

It's very mixed. On the one hand, it's okay. Passable story about Hobie and the Slingers. On the other hand, very odd placement for this. We haven't seen Slingers since David's Scarlet Spider run and Hobie was a more major player in Slott's Worldwide run. So that's like 3 years ago since we saw these characters in a Spider-Man story. I really don't understand why introduce these characters now or what purpose do they serve.

It's good. Slow, but good. When everything else works, the pacing isn't a problem for me. And Born Again 2.0? I'm interested.

So. Clay's back. I missed his art. As for this. This book. That I've wasted so much time on, but I don't want to stop. Because I want to read it till the end so I don't have to wonder how it ended. It's... not bad. I know I know, that sounds odd. But it's not honestly that bad. I have problems with it, quite a lot, from just teasing the revelation to having too much talking made by character's whose voices I don't hear. I don't like how King writes Joker. Because it seems off. I can't really grasp what he is doing with the Joker. But like I said, it's not bad. The three timelines finally work somehow. It took 9 issues, but I'm finally starting to get what King is doing here. So it's not bad. But is it good then? Hell no. Does it justify the time I've spent reading this? Nope. Do I regreat reading this book? Well...

So I guess Ben missed the part where Queen Goblin is his problem.

So, it's nice to read a ongoing Batman book I actually like.

The second part of Beyond storyline has been surprising me. Overall it has been fine, but I'm starting to get much more invested in the story. As there seems to be point for all this and this isn't just a placeholder for Wells and JRJR. MacKay is becoming one of my favourites lately. With Black Cat, Moon Knight, Timeless and this, he just keeps delivering.

This was amazing. I had high hopes for this and MacKay managed to deliver in every possible way.

A solid conclusion for a solid mini-series.

Did you know that twist comes from words: Thor Wow It Surprises Truly Well, now you know. 8,5/10 from me.

You know, this ain't bad. This is pretty good. It's not stellar, amazing, or the best King has written, but it was good. And JPL's art was wonderful, I hope he can find rest wherever he is.

Wow. Just wow. I've been critical of Beyond lately. It has lacked something for me. And this issue delievered. I liked everything about this. It is a bit shame it took this long for this to happen, but I'm glad we finally got some answers and Ben was the main focus of the show. And with the news that Zeb is the new writer of ASM going forward (with JRJR, my favourite artist of Spidey besides Bagley!), I'm becoming more invested in Beyond. I've felt it's just a placeholder for the next writer. But now? It might not be just that anymore.

The Clone Saga -comics are one of the oldest Spidey comics I own. And one of the firsts I read. So Ben's tenure as Spider-Man in the late 90s is very familiar to me. And I always enjoyed those parts and I enjoyed Ben as a character back then. So reading this? It felt like putting back old, but warm and comfortable sweater. It's good. I don't know how good it is to new readers, but to me it was wonderful.

 Devil's Reign: Villains For Hire #1 Jan 19, 2022

Currently, Ottley's art is what makes this so good to me. As for Cates' writing? It's fine, honestly. However, it's slower paced then I would like to. I don't want to compare this Immortal Hulk, and I won't. Which is why I feel I like this more than most. But, if Cates doesn't deliver with suffice answers in the final parts of this first arc, it's hard to stay invested in this. I don't believe Cates chooses to ignore it, as it has been such well-received storyline and it's so recent, but I hope he can make his Hulk story a compelling sequel to it.

I liked it.

 Moon Knight (2021) #7 Jan 19, 2022

I'm loving this series currently so much.

It's just fine. There is nothing wrong with this, but it's not entirely new concept, so it gave a little "been there done that" -feeling after reading this. Sure, there are new elements here, but Batman's origins have touched upon so many times, it's hard to make it interesting and compelling read. Thankfully the art is good and script solid. It's just not as good as I wanted it to be, but I never was that interested in this series to begin with. I hope this series can find a reason to exist and do something entirely new with the concept.

It's fine. As usual. The plot feels like it's finally moving somewhere. How unfortunate that it took us this long for it to happen. But I really can't rate it a higher then 7, because this whole storyline is still too bland for me currently. I'm not invested in any part of this, and I do hope the next issue finally focuses on Ben as a character more.

It's good, but the pacing is much slower than I want it to be. It just feels like Taylor didn't have enough story for 6-part series and it shows. Thankfully Coello's art saves it.

As a fan of Otto, I really liked this. It's not necessary, but it's fun.

Another week of Beyond storyline, another week of fine issue. Everything here is fine. I just wish the overall storyline was more interesting or that I would care about Ben at this point.

This was very odd read? Gleason's art is wonderful, his writing isn't the best. It surprising what this comic does, but it could've used more buildup in the previous issues. It just has so many ideas but none of them are used to their full potential. Kinda like Beyond. Don't get me wrong. I still liked it. It's fine. Like usually these Beyond comics are. But you know what my problem is? That this Beyond that supposed to be "fresh, new, interesting and cool" thing that was created last year is... getting kinda bland. 9 parts in now. And I'm not that interested what's going on. Like, the more I read this issues, the more baffled I am. They rushed Spencer to end his storyline for this? This kinda bland, not-that-interesting storyline that has too many chief's making it meaning the character work is almost non-existant. Ben is a great example. With so many writers now juggling him, we still don't have a clear vision what kind of man he is now. The basics are there, but they were laid back in the 90's. Marvel can pretend that what Slott and David wrote in the last few years didn't happen, but maybe they shouldn't have greenlighted them back then. Because right now Ben is wasted here. And I hate it. I know this "review" feels more like "man complains about Beyond" than an actual review of this comic, but you know, that's how I feel. It's hard to get too invested, excited or even interested in these comics when the overall storyline doesn't do anything else except be fine. So 7/10, I've missed you Gleason. Also that last issue? I thought this issue would confirm that monster was send by Beyond or something. Or even tease about it. I'm still kinda sure it was Beyond's work to nullify Peter, because if not, it's just too random.

It's very by-the-book second part of the Marvel's big event. A slower paced issue that is mostly used to market tie-ins. So good thing that the rest of this issue is good. I just like this. Sure, it "borrows" a lot of elements from Civil War, Dark Reign and what not but I don't care. I never was a massive fan of the first Civil War, I hated the second one and Dark Reign was eh? So if you think it's just a rip-off, I don't think you're wrong. But as a "rip-off", it does things better than the predecessors did, so it's good in my books. Also Checchetto. Your art is so good, makes the comic much more enjoyable.

This is continuing to be solid. And I'm okay with that.

I wasn't that interested in this. MacKay has been a soli writer, but I didn't think he could make a Kang story interesting for me. I was wrong. This was great. Maybe it's because my expectations were so low, but I really liked this. And all three artists were on point and their work complemented each other well. Even Greg Land, whose art I'm not the biggest fan. I don't hate it, I think it's passable but here it was better than usual.

I really liked this. I've been liking this series more and more with each installment. And the twists it has? Very good. Jason is written well here.

It's great. Feels very disconnected from the Ben's Beyond storyline, but otherwise I really liked this. This whole Beyond storyline is very odd for me. It's been mostly fine, some times excellent, but for me, it hasn't found that spark yet. I was very negative on the finale of Spencer's run. I haven't brought up Spencer after it ended, because it's hard to compare his run to this. They are so different. But I must say, when Spencer's run was good, it was so good. I was excited to read the next installment everytime the new one came. It had that big spark. It failed to deliver in the end, but in my mind, it was overall pretty good. This Beyond storyline doesn't give me same feelings. As I said, it's fine, but I want more than "just fine". Because there is potential here.

I love this series so much currently. Everything about it really. MacKay has done wonders with Moon Knight, just as he did with Black Cat. I pray to Khonshu that this series doesn't end as quickly.

If you are waiting for Al Ewing to make Venom the same stuff Immortal Hulk was, this will disappoint you. It isn't like that. Ram's take on Dylan is different what Ewing will do with Eddie. And I like that. I'm continuing to like what I'm getting with Dylan portion. I'm not that familiar with Ram V, but this is good. Not to say that Ewing's stuff doesn't interest me. It does. Very much. But this? It's good too.

Look, I don't read these just to bash them and complain that Tom King is a hack writer. I read these because I want to be surprised you know? That maybe all my time that I've poured in to this series wasn't for nothing. After 9 issues I'm still waiting to be surprised. Art was bad. I really didn't like it. Writing? Eh. Just. Eh. 4/10 Tom, please do better.

It's okay. But again, it doesn't feel like they are using this idea to it's full potential. This has like 19 parts was it? And we are 9 parts in and not a lot has happened character- or plotwise. It's not like anything here is bad. And this isn't very disappointing read. But I just want more. And some break from this structure.

This is a good second part for this series. If looking this as it's own thing, it's a fun comic with interesting ideas and wonderful art. However, many might be annoyed or disappointed that this doesn't feel like a continuation for Immortal Hulk. And I agree, but I'm not surprised. When Cates started Venom, it also didn't really feel like continuation for the previous volumes. The first part, Rex was clearly it's own thing. I mean Cates has a clear structure that he usually follows. First we get a 6-part storyline that introduces us to his ideas and takes on the character. And then we move from there. So give it a chance will you? I highly doubt Cates ignores what Ewing wrote. The story just doesn't take place in a setting that has a chance to explains us everything. Because clearly there has been a time jump between Immortal Hulk #50 and Hulk #1.

For a tie-in, this was much better than the main part of this Beyond storyline.

I really liked this. Almost everything here is great. Sorrentino's art, as wonderful as it is, can make it hard to distinct which Batman is which sometimes, but otherwise it's amazing. This book surprised me. It did something new with concept. And that is enough for me.

This was simply amazing. Nguyen's art really fits here.

This was a really good ending for a run that was so much better than it had any right to be. Thanks MacKary for this.

It's really good. Much better than I thought it would be.

What an exciting start. I've missed your art Checchetto...

If I'm being honest... I liked this. First of all, Molina's art is wonderful. On par with Jimenez? Maybe. And second of all? Well, it feels natural continuation to Tynion's Batman, which I was surprised with. This isn't just a brand new chapter, it feels like a true epilogue to Tynion's run and a prologue to Williamson's take on the Caped Crusader. The plot progresses naturally and has some interesting twists left here. I'm actually intrigued what Batman book will offer. I haven't felt like this on a Batman run after "Their Dark Designs" which was like 1,5 years ago. But there isn't a lot that happens here. As I said, this book is an epilogue and a prologue at the same time, so you might feel that there was very little here. It doesn't bother me, but I can understand if it bothers someone else. So, Williamson, you got me interested. Don't go all-Tynion on me and make this run boring. Because right now, Batman should be anything but boring.

It's pretty good. Lately all these Beyond issues have been pretty good. I don't have any big problems with them, I just wish this book didn't have to juggle all these characters. So in other words? I wanna see more Ben. And Janice. And less of these Beyond characters. But for what it is, it's fine. Even if this bothers me a bit, it doesn't make this a bad issue.

It was a good finale. I'm even more interested in Devil's Reign now.

This was really well done issue. Although I cannot recall last time Ben and Felicia worked together. Have they ever? Well first time for everything.

This kind of storytelling is very interesting. Since we have two writers who are focusing on two characters on two different timelines and places, some of the readers might be annoyed by that. I'm not, even if I really wanted to see what happens with Eddie. However, Ram V did a really good job with this one, setting things up nicely for Dylan and his new foes.

Well. It's not bad. Doesn't make Fear State any better. Doesn't make Tynion's run any better. It ties his run's things up. A run that wasn't particulary good or interesting. So, could be worse I guess.

 The Death of Doctor Strange #3 Nov 25, 2021

This issue had everything I felt was lacking in the previous issues. Ben's monologue, his thoughts what is going on, etc... Combine that with stellar art from Dowling and we have anoter great issue from Beyond team.

It's pretty good. But feels disconnected from Immortal Hulk #50, so if that bothers you, it's not good for you. Me? I'm waiting for Cates to explain us Bruce's current mindset.

I liked it. I liked more because of Klein's art. But I still like it.

It's fun. A fun tie-in. So exactly what it markets itself to be.

It's pretty good. But it moves too slowly for me. I wish this was a bit better paced.

This really made me feel some things. I loved this. If the first 4 issues didn't convince you that MacKay has a clear grasp of Moon Knight, this one certainly will.

Well, that was an okay conclusion to a story I really didn't care for. These Batman events never feel so grand to me, to justify having so many tie-ins. Like Joker War, Fear State felt much smaller in scope than what DC marketed it to be. As for conclusion to Tynion's run, this is really disappointing. I feel like he did nothing with Bruce and this run I will remember as... meh. I have no interest reading it ever again. It felt like Tynion had no idea what to do with Batman and just kept writing some stuff until new writer came in. I remember criticizing King's run a lot. It was a rollercoaster of emotions for me, sometimes it was excellent, sometimes horrible. But Tynion's run was just mostly meh. I have no interest ever coming back to this again. Props for Jimenez's art for making this better than it had any right to be.

 Immortal Hulk Vol. 9: Weakest One There Is Nov 15, 2021

Now this was a bit odd one. It felt shorter than usual and Morbius felt especially wasted here. For a two-parter story it felt like it offered very little. But what it did offer was very good and I liked all of it. Even Pichelli's art felt better here. As much as it reminds me more of Abrams' terrible Spider-Man comic than Bendis' Miles comics. So it's good? With a question mark this time instead of definitive answer.

This feeling if very familiar. I remember having similar one three and a half years ago with Venom #1 by Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman. It's feeling of excitment. Intrigue. This first issue is amazing. I like it a lot.

Probably the best issue in this storyline. Mostly because it focuses on Batman and what he is doing. It could be better. It could be worse.

This wasn't the best penultimate issue. Mostly because of the art. When I saw Checcheto's art on the cover, I got hyped seeing this "grudge match" between Bullseye and Elektra. But I didn't get that. I know that Checcheto is working on Devil's Reign right now, but this art just isn't that good. And the writing? It's not the best Zdarsky has offered. Spidey felt off in the last issue and Bullseye isn't used properly. I miss when he used those cards. Or anything other than guns. It just makes him feel less of a threat. It's not bad. It's okay. But, I expected better.

Is good.

It's fine. A little intermediate issue. But Pichelli's art felt off here.I've been fan of her for a long time but this felt a bit unfinished? Compared to her work on Miles.

 Task Force Z (2021) #1 Oct 26, 2021

Wow. I have never been so confused while reading King's story. I had no idea what's going on or when. Writing for Selina is just... so bad right now. I don't know why King is currently writing present day Selina so oddly? Again. Nothing has really happened. Remember Phantasm? She is a... character I guess? She really doesn't do anything here though. Nobody really does. So in short, I didn't think it was possible to be even more confused by this series, but King suprises me yet again.

Like others said, it's solid. Not anything bad here, but not anything super good either. Just a solid second part to this series.

I really liked it.

It's not bad. It just isn't interesting at all. This whole storyline feels very crowded. Batman feels like a side-character in this storyline. And worst of all, I don't care about anything. There just really isn't much to care. I reread Tynion's run a while back. When collected, it's actually pretty good. But when there are so many players and very little happens, it's hard to stay invested. I mean, this whole Fear State and it's prequel Cowardly Lot has been going on for over 7 months. That's a long time for one storyline. And it shows. So little happens in each part.

Remember what I said last week? That it's good, go read it. Same thing here. Now that the uininitiated are out of here, let's talk about this issue. First of all,, I just love Gleason's art. It's just so good. Second. Let's talk about Ben. I'm one of those odd people who don't mind clone saga that much. My oldest comics are Spider-Man's clone saga so they have a special place in my heart. And Ben's tenure as Spider-Man was great IMO. I really liked seeing how Peter we all know and love would act without having so much tragedy in his life. And then the Clone Conspiracy and David's bizarre wtf-run happened and that ruined Ben for me. Not Clone Conspiracy necessarily, but David's run especially. To this day, I don't know what that book was trying to accomplish. It's terrible. So I was wary seeing Ben the star of this Beyond. But this last two issues have proven me that it can work. And that the writers have a clear vision what kind of man Ben is. His call to Aunt May showcases that so well. He cannot utter the words "I'm Peter" easily. And I love that page. He needed Peter's blessing to continue. Because deep down, he has the same issues and moral code as Peter has. But even with all the praise I have for this, I do have some criticism and I'm not fully sold just yet. Yes this issue is great, but it can feel a bit short, because it has to focus on both Peter and Ben and their inner circles. Everything here is well done, maybe I just wanted more. And that's usually a good sign. So why I am not fully sold yet? Well, I wanna see more of Ben. I want to see what he thinks, how is he actually doing. His inner monologue, more Janine, just more Ben's life. I'm fine if Peter is left to the hospital for a bit. If this to be Ben's show, show him fully. This whole idea is very ambitious and I do hope the creators are not afraid to sideline Peter. Because otherwise, this might not work as well as it could. TLDR: it's good, go read it.

I didn't know what to expect of this. How would Ewing end this all? Very well it seems. I have no problems with this. Everything just feels... nice. Good. Great. I just liked this so much. It feels very definitive ending to Ewing's run and I quite like it. I will miss this series, but I'm glad that it got the ending it deserved. But it's nice to have a so good feeling after the series had ended you know? To say, I'm content after finishing it.

It's a fun wild ride. I do think this doesn't fully explore the relationship between Spidey and Hulk, nor does it really add anything to have Venom there, but it's still fun.

 Dark Ages (2021) #2 Oct 6, 2021

EDIT: After reading that bleedingcool article that confirms that this was rushed (not rewritten) by the editorial due to Beyond storyline, I get why this is so disconnected from the other storylines. I feel sorry for Spencer because he had to rush this, but my opinion on the comic doesn't change which is the following: Okay. I had to triple check that I read all the pages. Because all I could think was "wait what? Seriously? That's it?". Apologies for my language beforehand. Yes, it's childish, but I just can't help myself. This is garbage. A shitshow. Is this because OMD wasn't undone? No. Absolutely not. Let's start with that. OMD can't be undone anymore. It's been 14 years. How could they even undo OMD? Aunt May suddenly dies, Peter and MJ have been married and the last 14 years of stories are suddenly erased? So that means Harry never came back alive, May died due to that gunshot and Peter almost killed Fisk? Or how else? Because those stories just don't work if OMD is undone. So that was almost always the case. It was never going to be undone. It takes a lot of work to evenm address it. And Spencer did that. He even gave Mephisto some motivation to help Peter during OMD. I actually like that retcon. Since OMD is here to stay, at least make Mephisto have some kind of motivation. Spencer did that and I'm fine with that. And the idea to make Harry a demon because of OMD? Another good idea. Because Harry's resurrection was always kinda off. So okay. This wasn't because of OMD not being undone. Why is this comic a 1/10? Because it isn't a culmination to anything nor is it an epilogue. So what happened with Kindred? After last issue, I thought it couldn't be possible to make it even more confusing, but here it is. So there were two Kindreds, who were kinda Harry, but not and were the Stacy twins, but not and who wanted what exactly? Break Peter? Make him confess? Confess what? That OMD happened? What sins MJ had? OMD? Kindred's motivation is different compared to even Last Remains. Everything here feels so off. This doesn't feel connected to anything Spencer previously wrote. And that ending. THAT ENDING. So Kindred(s) suddenly lose? And Harry dies? A character we haven't really seen since #800 3 years ago? And he was a clone? Made by whom? AND. HARRY DOESN'T GET A FUNERAL. HE IS JUST LEFT THERE WITH NORMAN. PETER LEAVES HARRY'S DEAD BODY TO NORMAN. LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK. WHAT IS THIS. Flash got a funeral. But Harry doesn't? PETER'S BEST FRIEND? There isn't any epilogue to this Spencer's ASM! "What will happen with Peter and MJ, Mysterio, J. Jonah Jameson, Norman Osborn, Aunt May and Kindred?!" FUCKING GOOD QUESTION NICK LOWE. I WOULD BE GLAD TO READ THE ANSWER IN THE FINAL MASSIVE ISSUE OF ASM THAT IS THE CULMINATION OF THREE YEARS OF AMAZING SPIDER-MAN. ON THIS CONCLUSION TO NICK SPENCER'S LANDMARK RUN ON THE BEST FUCKING COMIC BOOK IN THE WORLD. Like seriously. What the actual fuck. I've never been this mad for comic in my life. Not even King's Batman run. This comic cost 11€ and I'm so mad. What happens to May? Jonah? Randy? Teresa? Norman now that is free of his sins? Normie and Liz? When will they find out what happened to Harry? Stanley? His father is a clone, what does it make Stanley? Does Peter propose to MJ? I'm speechless. I have so many questions. And now we jump straight to Ben Reilly and Beyond Corporation? AFTER THIS? THERE ARE 35 VILLAINS THAT ARE CURRENTLY IN THE GRAVEYARD UNCONSCIUS! WHAT HAPPENS TO THEM! SIN-EATER? MORLUN? Does Norman get his "sins" back, now that Kindred(s) are dead(?). Or does he stay like that. There are some rumours that Spencer had some kind of fallout with Marvel or editorial, because he hasn't said a word leaving Marvel, nor did he give any interview after Last Remains. And that this comic wasn't completely written by him. That sounds stupid, right? Well I kinda want to believe it. Because this is just can't be the conclusion Spencer wrote. It can't... Peter doesn't feel like Peter here. Nor does he feel like a character even. He gets so much beating from the two Kindreds it's unhealthy. But he is fine? Whaat? I really don't get how strong these two Kindreds are. In #52, Gabe(???) beat Peter easily. AND HERE PETER HAS JUST FOUGHT 36 OF HIS VILLAINS AT THE SAME TIME. AND IS STILL GOING. LIKE WHAT. WHO WROTE THIS??? So yeah. It's terrible shitshow. And don't even get me started on the switching artists. Why even have Bagley here if he makes like 4 pages? Like what? And Humberto Ramos' final pages feel so badly done. Like unfinished mess. Why was this comic so bad and badly done???

 Batman (2016) #113 Sep 28, 2021

I really liked this. MacKay is doing something new with these characters and his take on Mark is great.

Oh my grodd is this stupid and ridiculous. And just... bonkers. But it's so much fun. And so good.

Another banger from this series.

I'm so confused right now. I am also very confused even thinking how Spencer will wrap up everything in the next issue. Because there is so much to wrap up now. Final confrontation with Kindred and there are currently so many players there, Strange's hijacks with Mephisto, some kind of ending to this, what happens to the 35 villains who are in the graveyard unconscious, what happens after this to JJJ, Norman, Aunt May, MJ and Peter's engagement, Kindred's full backstory, what is the deal with two Harrys, what happens to Gog, hey Chameleon blackmailed Nora and possibly T&M, Ned being back alive, Kingpin's son being back alive, etc... And to add to this list, possibly OMD being retconned, mentioned, who even knows anymore. But yeah. There is much to wrap up. Sure, the final issue is bigger, but is 80 pages enough to cover all of this? And only now, is Sins Past being retconned. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that happens since I too hate it, but the explonation here is kinda odd? And the mystery of Kindred deepens even more... And the penultimate issue really isn't the best place to not give a definitive answer, but even bigger mystery. We had what, 8 issues to cover this whole storyline but only now Spencer starts showing it all had some kind of purpose? Only now he gives an explanation what his endgame with this run is? And this makes me question, why even make Sinister War it's own book? Why not make this main series (ASM 70-73) Sinister War and 71.SW, 72.SW and 73.SW like they did with Last Remains? And this storyline really feels so similar to Last Remains. Plot progresses oddly (sometimes not at all, sometimes very rushed), mystery is getting deeper and even more messy and the answers we have just aren't enough. DIfference is that this is supposed to conclude after next issue. And I dislike how much Spencer relies on old Spider-Man stories. This whole series has been good to those who have read Spidey for more than 20 years, but for newcomers? This is really hard to grasp. Sins Past, as atrocius as it was, happened over 15 years ago and hasn't been acknowledged since (for a good reason). But it's an odd point to suddenly focus without any kind of buildup. Spencer seems to ignore almost everything that happened to Spider-Man after OMD, because his series relies so much of you knowing what happend before that. And that's not a good choice. I mean good example would be my reading history. I started reading Spider-Man monthly in 2008/2009 (aka here in Finland the aftermath of OMD and beginning of BND), and had I read only those, I would be so lost right now. And that was 12 years ago. So should one be so lost after reading the penultimate issue? I think not. These kind of revelations require a lot of buildup if they come so long ago and cannot be done in one single issue. TLDR: I'm confused, 6.5/10 and a seal of confusion. And yay, no Sins Past I guess?

It's nice to read something good this week...

 Spider-Man: Life Story Annual #1 Sep 8, 2021

It's not like this is bad. But after Alpha being mostly setup, this issue being just recap and more setup really isn't a good thing for this series' pacing. I've reread Tynion's Batman run and while I do like it more now when reading it back-to-back, this series really has poor pacing and plot progression. But Jimenez's art is still wonderful.

I liked this a lot more than I did the main books. These tie-ins showcases the best of Spencer's writing and the main book showcases the worst.

Very interesting premise. I liked it a lot. Neither Taylor or Coello disappointed with this one.

 Sinister War (2021) #3 Sep 1, 2021

So. That was it? What a pointless storyline. I was very hyped for Sinister War but this 4 issues were just fighting. Fighting with 3 different artist working on it, which means it feels even more messy. And the resolution? Well, we're back were we started. Things haven't moved at all since the first issue of this storyline. There wasn't any conclusion in here for storylines set up in Hunted, Sins Rising, King's Ransom and Chameleon Conspiracy. The villains showed up. They fought Spidey. Kindred has some monologue. Repeat. The end. Yes, the plot did move in the ASM tie-ins, but not here. Why even make this one a 7-part storyline when it barely has enough story for 4 parts?

It is a really good epilogue. I liked very much how they handled Miles' clone saga and why he now wears a new suit. I'm looking forward to the next 10 years of Miles if writign remains this solid. And Allen's art is just so good.

It's not bad. In theory. It shouldn't be. There are good artists and writing isn't bad. But nothing happens. Literally nothing. We find out the motivation of all groups and that is it. Spider-Man fights them and that's it. We also have three artists that have so different styles that it makes harder to think this book as a whole package. It feels like someone took quorter of pages from two books, mashed them together and said this is full, overpriced package. This was a huge letdown. After being just buildup for the first two parts of the series, this really isn't the time to slow pacing EVEN MORE. And hey, another very miss-leading synopsis? Otto and Toomer have only small cameo in this issue! But the next issue's synopsis is pretty accurate. "You haven’t read the end of SINISTER WAR #2 yet, but when you do, YOU WILL BE VERY MAD YOU HAD TO WAIT TWO WEEKS FOR THIS!" Yup. Pretty much.

The art is just so good in this book. And it is completely wasted in this. And that is the only good thing about this. I am currently so bored and annoyed by this. I do repeat myself by saying that "nothing happens, I am bored, etc..." But it is what I mostly feel by reading this. I loathed King's run. But at least I felt something when I read it. At least it felt like one writer's vision. This one feels just so generic that tries to please everyone but pleases no one. I don't know what happened to Tynion but this just isn't it. Each issue we are introduced to a new character that the readers forget by the next issue. I really don't remember what is going on currently. But I do remember King's run, even if it has been years since I read it. Do I want to go back to those times? No, but I do want this series to be at least memorable. And in some way keep me hooked. Either be good or terrible. Don't be forgettable and mediocre.

This is just a tease. An opening for the grand finale. An opening that is done very well. I am gonna miss this series...

Good art but very messy writing. I was really hyped for this and I was pretty disappointed.

The players are finally set and we are finally getting some answers. So I must admit, this one is good. A great prelude for Sinister War and I am interested to see how Spencer will resolve it.

Why can't something interesting happen. Tynion, why are you ruining the pacing of this book but then hiring amazing artist to hide that. Who do you think you are, Tom King?

It's Immortal Hulk, which means it is good and you should read it. No need to for me to tell more.

It's all over the place. There isn't nearly enough Chameleon nor Spider-Man in this for my liking. I really don't know why this was called the Chameleon Conspiracy, because it sure didn't feel like that. This one has two storylines that feel very disconnected. And the part that Chameleon was the man behind T&M wasn't touched upon at all. So why even hint about that? I've liked Spencer's run very much, it has it's problems but it has still been pretty good. But this? This wasn't good. Not terrible, but certainly not good... And what is up with this synopsis? Nothing changes in Spider-Man's life. Nothing shooks him to the core. Because he missed every part that had anything to do with Chameleon. The synopsis of each issue are so missleading and my grodd is it annoying. Why even have them if they don't tell what happens in the issue?

This is the first issue for a while where I'm bored and annoyed. There are so many moving parts and none of them feel connected to each other. Maybe the finale will fix this and make it more coherent but currently it's very messy.

I am enjoying this far more than I thought I would.

I am really enjoying this arc, and Ahmed has set up this well. Art is wonderful and writing strong. Selim does give me some Kaine-vibes, but other than that, this is good.

A worthy ending to Cates' storyline. That an amazing ride this was.

 Spider-Man: Spider's Shadow #3 Jun 9, 2021

Mr. Zdarsky, this is like fourth time I'm asking you to start writing Red Hood. Why aren't you answering my calls?

I gotta admit, I am starting to be really invested in this comic. Tynion writes Joker surprisingly well, at least better than in Joker War. I really don't have problems with the main story. As for the Punchline comic, I just skip it. I don't care nor do I have any interest to wasting time reading something I know I will dislike.

This is issue is mostly setup. But it's done well. Callbacks to previous issues (like #16) feel like Spencer has a plan and isn't just making this up as he goes along. I really liked this. It's good. Sure, Peter isn't the main focus in his book, but for an event like this, I understand why.

 Black Cat (2020) #7 Jun 2, 2021

It's still criminally good. I don't want it to end after #50 though...

It's not bad. Art is nice. But the story doesn't go anywhere. This is part four of this story and it feels like the plot has moved finally to part 2. So yeah, slow pacing makes this comic hard to recommend. And this whole series currently.

Clay's art is still good. The only good thing about this series. I know it's very common to dislike King's work these days. But this? It really isn't worth it. It's too bland. Too bland to be bad, too bland to be good, too confusing to be bland. I really hate this 3-stories-at-once -structure. It just doesn't work. It ruins the pacing, as each story moves so slow because you have to keep track on what happens in other two. This is what, part 5? And Phantasm hasn't done anything? Like seriously. There is a reason why people don't usually watch three different seasons of one show at the same time by changing the season every 5 minutes. Because it is confusing, stupid and doesn't work. And what a coincidence, that is how I summarize this series.

It's pretty good. Ahmed has handled this Clone saga very well and Peter being there to offer advice is a very noice touch. The clones themselves could use more work, but this is the first issue we truly see them so I have hope.

Wow. Just... Wow. That was amazing in a giant-size way. I didn't have any expectations for this. But boy did this deliver.

It's still pretty good.

Hey now, I didn't want to be sad after reading this. It's amazing though.

It's so odd to read two of the writer's issues at the same time, when one is good and exciting and the other is boring and tedious. That is happening with Tynion's Joker and Batman run. I'm currently invested in this but I'm so bored of Tynion's Batman run. And I don't get it. As for the Punchline story, I skip it. Because I don't care. Maybe it should affect the rating bu eh, I don't care about that story enough to do so.

I'm reading this only because of Zdarsky's Red Hood story and that didn't disappoint at all. Chip, I don't want to repeat myself, but please start writing Red Hood.

After Last Remains, King's Ransom has been a very enjoyable ride. It doesn't think it's more than that and that is enough for me.

I just love this series.

I'm starting to think I maybe should drop this. I don't want to, as I've been reading Batman for then years and I own a t-shirt that says "I read Tom King's whole Batman run", so dropping now would feel very random. But this really isn't doing for me. I'm just bored while reading this. I just don't care. Nothing happens. This is the third part of this arc and I feel like nothing worthwhile is happened or being setup. And the oddest part is that there is nothing inherently wrong with this issue. Art is good and writing is not bad if you don't mind the pacing being awful and losing every sense of progression. Maybe I'm just bored. But I liked Tynion's Detective Comics run very much, his Joker series is good and his run after King's dumpster fire that is called "City of Bane". But this? This ain't it chef. I miss being angry at King after reading Batman. I miss feeling anything when reading Batman.

 Batman (2016): Pennyworth R.I.P. #1 Apr 29, 2021

Still pretty good.

So, I've never had issues with Clone Saga. I know I know, but those are my oldest Spidey books and how my collection started. So they are nostalgic for me (with Bagley's art). With that out of the way, I can tell that I was interested in Miles' Clone Saga. It doesn't feel like Peter's did, as the motivations and clones seem to be different. Also Miles' whole world is so different, Pete had a child coming back then with MJ and Kaine incriminating him of murders. Miles has his own problems currently and unlike Peter back then, he has people he can talk about this. So all on all, I really liked this. I started rereading Ahmed's run before this and I remembered once again how good this run is. And if people are talking how this is too soon for Clone Saga, Ultimate Peter Parker was even younger when he was cloned and his run had lasted for 6 years. Miles has been with us for a decade now, so let's not start comparing this to Mainstream Peter's life.

It has an anime-feeling to it. Damian even read some manga. But yeah, I'm interested. Don't know where this will go, but so far there is nothing here that makes me not be interested in this.

I'm really enjoying this arc. And while the Kindred teases are getting annoying, I'm once again intrigued by them.

Sure I'm annoyed that Bane was killed but after King's run, it's not a big deal for me, as that ruined so many things about Bane. What's more odd is that Tynion is writing this very well. This is so much better than the current Batman run or Joker War. And I'm so much more invested in this than Tynion's Batman book.

It was very entertaining. And currently I want nothing more from ASM.

I really liked this event. It's one of my favourites in a long time. It's not masterpiece. Nor complex. Nor deep. But it doesn't need to be. It's fun and exciting ride with amazing artwork and I don't need anything more out of it.

Like other issues of these tie-ins, it is mostly set-up and not necessary to read. However, it is very good, has great art and teases interesting things to come.

The worst DC event I've ever read. The art is the only positive this one has.

Ready or not, here comes Joe.

I really liked the art. It was great. As for the story. There is one. It moves like a snail would. So it makes this one hard to recommend. Since nothing happens here. Again, very "meh" issue.

As someone who started reading Spider-Man in 09 and started with BND, I'm very familiar with Lily Hollister and I've missed seeing her. And I liked everything this issue offered.

It is very good. Nothing was done poorly in the first issue and it got me interested.

Sometimes it seems that Spencer uses self-awareness (like how we didn't see Gog until this arc) to highlight the shortcomings in his books and that way neglate the criticism it would get. Does it work? On me, yes it does, I do the same thing. So it's not a negative from me, just a thing I noticed. Other than that, this book works. I'm really liking all of this. I really have no problems with this issue and I'm interested where this will go. After the first round of Kindred storyline, this smaller-scale(-ish) storyline is just what we needed.

This was really well written tie-in.

It is very bizarre and has a cast that usually we don't see together. David makes it work very well.

I'm only here because of the Red Hood story. And damn it was good. Chip needs to start writing Jason as well. As for the others? I guess they were fine.

This was such a fresh issue. I didn't expect this kind of shift to the status quo, but I'm liking it very much. I'm very interested to see what will happen next, especially since Kindred will be taking a backseat for now. Gleason art was wonderful, especially the second page.

An aftermath of King in Black shouldn't be this good. But it is. So good.

HOLY MOLY HULKAMOLY. Like damn. This book continues to surprise me.

Back when I started reasing ASM 12 years ago, I really liked Bachalo's art and Kelly's Grim Hunt. But this? It feels hard to say what I think about it. It feels a bit messy? The innder dialogue for Spidey felt a bit off. Itäs not bad by any means. But not particulary good either.

There wasn't anything to liek or dislike. I'm starting to get bored by this run. At least when I was reading King's run, I felt something. Anger and disappointment yes, but it was something. This is just eh.

I really enjoyed this. And I hope we will see more of 65 MJ in the future.

It's stupid. But it is good. And worth the read.

 Black Cat (2019) Annual #1 Mar 2, 2021

These last few issues have been an epilogue to Last Remains and I've enjoyd each part more and more. And this one especially nails it. Even though Last Remains was a bit disappointing in the end, this issue feels to fix it in so many ways. The art is great (as usual by Bagley) and Spencer's writing is truly great. We finally hear what Peter has to say about Kindred and it is as good as expected. Spencer has written this series very well mostly and this continues to showcase why I love his take on Spidey.

It's just so good. A hidden gem as one reviewer said. One of the best tie-ins and an excellent Felicia Hardy -story.

With this Future State -nonsense DC has been releasing these past months, this book is currently the only one I'm really invested in. While I really liked this one, I'm a bit annoyed hopw miss-leading the cover is. As a huge Red Hood fan, it's a bit disappointing to see Jason here when they aren't really doing anything with him. That seems to change in the next issue. And the biggest annoyance is that due to Murphyverse being so different, I'm really interested to see Jason's backstory. But that problem aside, it's still a really strong series. Collins writes Harley so well and this version is so much better than the one we have in the main universe.

I really liked the art of this series. At least the first part. But that's about it. Stuff does happen, Bruce's inner monologue is shown to us, but I really just don't know if anything happens. If this is the end, it's a very bad ending. A big bad boom is not a good way to end the mini-series, if we don't have enough time with these characters. I really didn't care about anything and I was confused if we should know who Peacekeeper One is. It was a disappointment, I really wanted it to be better because I loved the artstyle. As for the Red Hood story, eh. Just eh.

I really enjoy these one-shots. As amazing as Ewing's run is, these side-stories are welcome change of place to the world of Immortal Hulk, as they explore stories that the main issues won't. These aren't necessary, but they offer a bit hope that there are writers who can write Hulk after Ewing's run inevitably ends (which I hope won't happen anytime soon).

It's still good. Having so many characters in it does hurt the writing a bit, but not too much. I'm still enjoying this event very much and the artwork especially is wonderful.

It's a bit short, but not longer than needed. It works very well as a tie-in and the art is great.

The doc is in.

It's really hard to enjoy this. I usually enjoy Mann's art very much but I see he was once again horny when making this art. Happens to the best of us and I would let it slide if that was my only problem with this issue. But it's hard to say anything good about this. I really don't get what the narrative is that King is trying to write. We have, what, 3 stories going on and I honestly can't remember anything else except the future parts. Nor do I get what is going on in them. And I don't get what is the hook King should throw at us to keep coming back. I mean, nothing really happens here. Why should I be interested in the 4th issue now?

It's fine. This storyline ends in a nice way while setting up other threads. It's these kinds of smaller stories that Spencer writes very well. They aren't big but they are entertaining and they have nice moments in there. And the book goes to new directions, and Spencer has been good at making interesting changes to Peter's status quo, we just don't get to see it enough. It's also nice to see Fisk being a big Spider-Man baddie again. I do hope a team-up of Spidey and DD aka Zdarsky and Spencer some point in the future, as that would be very interesting.

As usual, Zdarsky kills it with another issue of DD. King in Black didn't slow this series at all and that just shows how good of a writer Zdarsky is. It also doesn't hurt that the art is still wonderful.

 King In Black: Thunderbolts #1 Feb 10, 2021

If you think it will be exactly what you expect, you may be surprised. It will be better than that.

Bruce's story is not bad. The art is nice and the writing solid so it's worth the read. But I don't see myself ever coming back to read it. I have no problems with it, but I don't care enough about it to read it ever again. And that is my problem with Future State. These stories can be good at best, but not so good I want to read them again. As for the Grifters -story, I just don't care. About anything in it really. So pass for me.

It's not certainly bad. I'm not sure Ewing can even write a bad Immortal Hulk issue. It is a bit slower paced issue that focuses on Joe as we haven't seen him in a while. The plot moves forward a little and we get some interesting developments here and there, but ultimately it isn't the strongest issue in the series and I can understand if some readers feel that this issue is a waste. But hey, even the weaker issues are still very good and worth your time.

Another excellent tie-in issue. And no wonder since Cates is writing these as well. Coello's great art doesn't hurt either.

I've liked this Next Batman series, but my main problem has been that there isn't enough. And now when I don't like it that much, the lack of investment in this world and characters becomes even bigger issue. And when you are pretty sure that the final installment of this series won't make it any better, you are just left with one question: "Why should I care?" And that is my problem with this series. And this whole Future State. I don't really care about anything and DC won't do anything to fix that. I wanted to like this, I think Ridley is a good writer but this comic just isn't that good. It's mediocre and that would be fine in a long-running series, but in this mini-series it counts a lot. As for the side stories, I care even less than the main story, so... 4/10, could be worse?

While I was critical on Last Remains and the Post-Mortem, this issue I really liked. Art was nice, especially the opening. And to be frankly honest, having no answers to Kindred didn't bother me at all this week even though he is still looming. Negative Space surprised me in a positive way and made remember why I have enjoyed Spencer's run on ASM.

I'll admit, I was was worried that King in Black would made this excellent worse, but as usual, Zdarsky delivers. And as usual, no complains, just wonderful writing, great art and pleasant surprises.

While not as strong issue like the previous ones, I still liked it a lot. And I'm interested to see how Ivy will be explored in this universe and her relationship with Harley.

I still like the Dark Detective storyline. It is not groundbreaking or anything, but good enough for me. As for the Jason part, it would be better if the art wasn't so lackluster. I don't mind simple art but this one felt like the artist stopped working on it midway.

There is no reason for this to be so good. But it is. One of the best tie-ins this event has.

Some times it's just fun to have a big bad with a big army and only handful of heroes fighting against them. No complex and deep backstory of that said villain. Just pure fun. And with great art from Stegman and very well written moments, this event is becoming one of my favourites in a long time.

Maybe I shouldn't read King's comics, I never am happy after that but every time I pick one and read them... And it doesn't hurt that I really enjoy Mann's art here, it is excellent. As for the story? Well, the best I can summarize it: it's like 4 different tv shows are going at the same time, you watch each one of them and just switch channels after 2 minutes to another show just so that you can keep track on what is happening. Surprisingly, it doesn't work. Well, I usually don't get that kind of experience when reading a comic but King makes it happen. And because he does, I don't care about anything that happens in any of the stories. It's hard to start even investing in this. The word messy is thrown a lot when talking about this series and for good reason. It feels messy. Maybe some people like this kind of storytelling. I don't. Again, there is nothing really to hate here. It just doesn't work. I'm not disappointed nor surprised. But at least the art is nice.

Again, I like what I see but there isn't enough of anything. The ideas this one explores are interesting. But there are so many stories here but I feel like there aren't enough issues to make these stories as interesting as they could be.

These synopsis are really missleading and annoying to read. As for the issue, it's fine? Once you have accepted that Last Remains isn't what you tought it would be, this is not half-bad. Bagley is wonderful as always and I really liked the dialogue between Peter and Norman. Like the previous issue, these Post-Mortem issues are good as themselves and as epilogues. But since the Last Remains was such a letdown for me, these won't fix it. And yes, the teases continue still. It seems that at this rate, Round 2 between Kindred and Spidey will be in #100...

It's so hard to say where this issue will go. But am I excited for it.

Dark Detective was a really good one. Dan Mora's art was wonderful and I was interested almost immediately. Other Future State comics haven't been that interesting to me, but this one is.

I liked Last Remains. Until we got no answers to anything. This issue work very well. It serves as an excellent epilogue to Last Remains, art is wonderful and writing and the twists are very good. But. BUT. WE GET NO ANSWERS TO WHY LAST REMAINS EVEN HAPPENED. Kindred remains as a big question mark and from the looks of things, that won't change any time soon. And that is the biggest insult of this event. It is starting really hard to care about anything in this run, if the main villain's motivations and backstory aren't told to us readers. And it is really hard to start caring about them after this event. Why is this reminding me of King's Batman run...

That was bad. Like. Actually bad. Other issues have been mediocre and full of nonsense but this was like bad. I didn't like anything, every problem I had with Death Metal are multiplied in this issue. I did like some of the jokes batfamily made and the art, so it is not a total waste. I do hope that BWL is gone. And never to be seen again because Snyder ruined him. Like others, I got many vibes of Hickman's Secret Wars, but this just wasn't that. I didn't know that WW and BWL were nemesises. Nor did I get that feeling during this event. I haven't hated DC event as much as this after HiC. Maybe it is these Crisis/Anti-Crisis -events that rub me the wrong way. DC, please don't do these kidn fo events in the next 5 years? Please?

The Next Batman storyline had me interested and it was good but it was too short. I didn't really care about those backup-stories, Detective Comics' Arkham Knight -storyline was not that interesting for me and I never really read Outsiders.

As Cates did with AC, these Venom tie-ins are well worth the wait and money. This was great.

Well, Last Remains did not conclude since this didn't conclude anything so don't go expect that. Spencer reminded me of "City of Bane", worst Batman run I've ever read with this issue so that is "nice". I'm currently so confused. I don't know how the editorial messed this up but it seems that the "fallout" of Last Remains will actually be the finale. It is hard to review this with this mindset so let's give it a 7/10.

It is very stupid. But it works.

I liked the art. And the writing was okay. I like Clownhunter more than before but if you are expecting more than average, skip this.

This comic showcases everything wrong with Death Metal.

This felt... random? I liked Metal, I dislike Death Metal and this felt very eh? I didn't like the art and sometimes I didn't know what was happening. Hard to say why this is worth anyone's time or money...

This was surprising. And very well done. I really liked these tie-ins and can't wait for the finale next week.

It is still going strong. I was worried that this would be the last issue but I'm glad it wasn't.

A very well done tie-in. I really enjoyed this, even if I'm not so familiar with Superboy Prime. I just hope this whole event could've been as good as this. More personal and focus on only certain characters, not just "epic and badass and so crazy and crisis" etc...

After the brutal opening that was the first issue, this one is a much more of a setup and slower paced one. WHile it is still a good read, and the artwork by Stegman is amazing, I really don't like how too many tie-ins are being setup. One reason why I enjoyed Absolute Carnage was that you really didn't need those tie-ins to understand it fully and I do hope this one won't either.

A great tie-in, I really like how well Felicia is written here. And it also feels like the continuation on previous Venom issues and bring characters we haven't seen after #165. And with good art, this, like Immortal Hulk one, is not a necessary read to the event (at least yet) but an enjoyable one still.

A "rematch" worth the wait. This issue will surprised me in a pleasant way and I love how well Ewing writes Ben here.

A very well done tie-in. Not a necessary one, but well worth the read. Art is amazing and while I did like how integral AC -tie in compared to this, I enjoyd this as much.

The ending was much different than I thought it would be. I finally started to care about Ghost-Maker and I am glad he is just not gone. I do like how Bruce acts here, how some people can be saved without puncing or beating someone. By just talking to them. It is the side of Batman we don't get to see enough IMO. I didn't enjoy this event but I liked this final part.

It is... fine I suppose? I really like Capullo's art and I really didn't hate anything. Maybe I just don't care anymore. Or maybe because there isn't so much mumbo jumbo in here that makes me question everything. There is some, but not too much. And BWL starts to act like himself. A bit. I finally see the Joker and Bruce in him. It doesn't make me care about him or anything, but it's nice to see. So, 6/10 could be worse?

This story was so... bad. This final issue felt very rushed, since the first three issues did nothing but tease the mysteries of this universe like Abrams often likes to do. Sara Pichelli's art was amazing and wasted on this series. She deserves much better writers than those two. And the only reason this series is not a 1 for me. As usual, the ideas aren't that bad. But the execution is.

Man, that was... that something else. That was good. So good. But I do fear if we will get enough of this in these last remaining issues (I'm sorry). Previous issue was very short and while I enjoyed, I do hope this story doesn't end with #55.

It is a nice comic full of good stories that I liked. It is also the 10th one-shot of an event that bores and annoys me. So yeah. Can't give it a too high score.

It is much easier to read these ones I am familiar with. The twist here is very interesting and the execution is very well done. I like how Thawne was written and the ending of this all is a surprising one. Like Hush it is good and it is nice to see good issues of these Tales.

It is an interlude chapter between issues of the main story. And it works very well. I've missed Coello's art on Venom.

I used to like King's writing but that changed after issue 50. Now? Well. It is not bad. But King likes to show multiple timelines at the same time, it makes reading this a very annoying thing to do. "Good" to se he hasn't changed. I actually liked some of the things we had there. But it was so annoying to read. And the writing on the Joker was... eh. Not good. The art is great and having Phantasm here is not a bad thing. But please King, focus on one time and if you are hellbent on showing flashbacks, make on issue focusing on them.

This issue is amazing, my only problem is that this storyline gets a backseat due to King in Black (I also liked the first issue very much and I am glad to see DD part of that) but this is just so good. I just hope that the same doesn't happen to this like what happened to the Netflix series. That it starts to suffer after the introduction of Hand and loss of focus on Fisk.

And I thought Absolute Carnage was brutal but that was a mere opening compared to Knull's arrival. Damn this was good.

Not a perfect ending to this Ultimatum saga but an okay one. Ultimatum himself didn't get enough time to be more compelling nor did we know his backstory or motivations. But it was okay.

Oh. OH. Klein's art is amazing as always. And so is Cates' writing.

The writing was best out of these three issues. I did like how Grayson explained Ghost-Maker's backstory and that made him a more of his own character. Whereas Nobody was just a jealous, Ghost-Maker seemed to be Bruce's first friend who he lost after he told what had happened. So I liked that. The art however was a letdown in this. And the cliffhanger. While my problems with this story arc has been mostly Ghost-Maker, for the first time it wasn't him that bugged me. It was the art, Harley, Clownmaker and overall this issue's structure (it was basically just Ghost-Maker's origins). But I did like the role of batfamily.

It is good. Not as good as I hoped it would be, but good nonetheless.

I am really liking the Murphyverse as it is something new and exciting and interesting and not just rehashing the same old ideas. While this issue wasn't as strong as the last one, it is still enjoyable enough.

I've missed this series so much during last 3 weeks and I'm glad it is back. Another stellar issue from Zdarsky and Hawthorne.

It has Robin King in it so it cannot be better than a 3/10. And it is not. Uninteresting, short storiers that nobody cares about that has no interesting twists on them or great artwork to make them better. A waste of money and time. And the whole Death Metal event starts to feel like that too.

There isn't a lot that happens in this issue. But what happens is huge. That confirms our suspicions and what Spencer is planning. If some of you won't get what that flashback is about, it's ASM #545. I really liked Bagley's art too.

Well, here's the thing. It's good. Not as good as the last one, but good.

It is terrible. Absolutely terrible. It takes the worst aspects of different Spider-Man stories and mashes them together to make this garbage. Sara Pichelli's art is wasted here and that is an even bigger crime.

It is fine. It has a lot of character who you wouldn't expect to appear in the same comic. But somehow David makes it work.

It was a much nicer and less action-packed ending than I thought. Venom Beyond wasn't the greatest arc of Cates' run, but it wasn't bad by any means.

I do like the art. I like the costume Ghost-Maker has. But I really do dislike him as a character. Nothing about him works. He is just average copycat of Red Hood, Nobody, etc. All who have been done better. The idea of Clownhunter really doesn't work for me either. Just eh... So the two antagonists we have here are either bad or meh. And since this issue mostly focuses on them, it really is as good as they are.

I haven't read every one-shot there is because there is too many and most of them are bad. How on earth the two guys who reintroduced me to Batman 7 years ago during their awesome run have made the worst event I've read in a long time? (I pretened HiC didn't happen.)

It is not terrible. It is okay. But my biggest problem is with Ghost-Maker. This idea doesn't sound anything new to me. A part Arkham Knight, a part Nobody, you get the idea. He is currently just a rehash of old and done-to-death ideas and not done very well.

I really like this. It has everything I wanted from this event that the main series does not have.

I've disliked most of the Tales from the Dark Multiverse, as things usually are too rushed or don't make sense. This one I liked very much. Many of the paths these characters made sense and were handled well. Writing is solid and I like how the Silenced is more of a bogeyman than a vigilante. I especially liked Richard of the Gray Sons.

Oh damn.

WHAT. WHAT. Buy it. Read it. Masterpiece will it become.

A great ending to an excellent story that had a clear beginning, middle and ending planned and it shows. We get some answers to questions some of us wanted, others didn't. And it is all great. Art is amazing, writing excellent to all characters. I really don't have any big problems with this one. I understand why some of you might not like it but I did.

For someone who isn't that excited or interested in Death Metal, this was fine. Not bad, good, just fine.

This was really good. And the story told here really makes sense why these are "side-issues". It is really refreshing to hear sin-free Norman's take on Harry and other things, especially since we know it is not an act, etc (I hope this doesn't age poorly). It really is an issue that shouldn't be skipped if you are interested in Last Remains. It is very well written and the artwork is good.

It is a good fallout issue to an event I really didn't care about. But that is fine. It is not bad, the writing is solid and art nice. This means a new change to Gotham but unfortunately we don't see it yet. So this is once again one of these issues where only the next one will tell how good this is. But I'm very glad there is not a breakup or anything between Selina and Bruce.

I really hate using the term "cringe". But that is what Robin King is. He is just so bad. So terrible. I don't buy that a ten-year old could defeat all the heroes of DC. It is laughable. I hate everything about this character. One could ask why even review this. Because this is a part of Death Metal, a part that I wished Snyder would understand is not "cool", not "epic", not "ironic", just bad. Awful. Terrible. Robin King is everything I hate about BWL without having any of the qualities that I originally liked about BWL. DC make sure we never see this again after Death Metal. The worst character in DCU ever made.

It's okay. I'm not totally invested in this story arc but it is not bad. I'm glad that we got another artist for this as this much more slower issue than the last one. But Anne is written well and explains how this universe works. This only makes me more excited for King in Black.

Any little problems I had with the last issue are gone. The name truly fits, what an amazing Spider-Man issue. Everything with the art and the writing and what comes next? Oh boy.

All the players are in place, and all have started to play their cards. The buildup is over, and the endgame is starting strong.

It feels so messy. I really don't like the idea how DC makes more and more one-shots that are required to read so that you understand the main book. Why not make them part of the main series? I don't know what happened to Snyder. I really liked Metal but I really dislike this "EXTREME EPIC METAL WITH WTF MOMENTS AND CRISIS AND WATCHMEN". This book clearly tries too hard and fails miserably. Especially with the main villain. I liked Doomsday Clock but this? This is just wrong. BWL is terrible and as much I hate to use that term, Robin King is just cringe. Pure cringe that should not exist. I also liked BWL. But now? He is just bad. There is nothing in him that resembles Joker or Bruce gone mad. I don't even know what he is.

It is almost perfect. I wanted to come here and sing it's praises. But I can't. The story is great and this certainly isn't just ASM #800 done again. It amazes me how well Spencer writers Peter and Norman here. They are the stars of this issue and not in the way you think. The art is great mostly but it doesn't feel that Ramos and Bagley their A-game. But. That Kindred tease began to annoy me now. For 49 issues we've had these and while we finally get them to meet (presumably?) in the next issue it just feels so annoying now. We know about him as much as we did in #31 and I really hoped something more. This issue ends very oddly and I had to check I didn't miss any pages.

Another strong issue from Ahmed. No need to worry this being Miles' clone saga, it is another story entirely and very well written.

I liked it. Kuder's art fit well with this story. Writing between Tony and Thor was great. Overall just a nice comic to read once in a while, showing that Cates can write smaller stories with Thor.

It was an okay conclusion to the forgettable Joker War, a big event that didn't feel like an event at all. Fortunately good art makes this better than it's supposed to be and Tynion writes Bruce better than King. I just didn't like how Tynion handled Joker, especially since this was released at the same time as Johns' "Three Jokers", which is much better. I'm rather waiting now what happens next when now Joker is finally out of Tynion's range. I always liked how he wrote batfamily.

It is not as bad as I thought it would be. Tynion wrote a pretty okat one-shot that explained a lot. The art style however is pretty bad and makes it hard to recommend this.

The Treshing Place is very similar to Great Power. Not a vital part to Immortal Hulk, but still an excellent comic with great writing and art. And no, having Lemire write this doesn't make it worse than Ewing's issues, it still fits to the story Ewing is telling.

As alaways, Jason Fabok's art is phenomenal. He really does wonders here. And paired with Johns, this is another amazing issue. Not the masterpiece 10/10 the first one was but close. There are some things that happen here that may anger some fans but I didn't mind it that much. A little, but not a deal-breaker, as I don't know yet how they will resolve those things. The only real problem I have with this is that I don't want it to end after the next issue.

While I've been critical of Death Metal, this was a very good issue. Nice art and writing for Wally made it good. And BWL felt actually intimidating.

If you think you need Jen's backstory or need to read Empyre, don't. This is an amazing one-off story that moves both Jen's plot and Ewing's Immortal Hulk forward in very interesting ways. A pretty much must-have.

The writing is good and the revelations are surprising. The only downside of this issue is the artwork. For issue that is more focused on storytelling than action, Gedeon's art is lacking.

It is good. Very good. I don't want to spoil anything but don't think you can guess what will happen in this and in the #850 issue.

 Immortal Hulk #0 Sep 16, 2020

Forget any idea what the synopsis or the cover might give you. This isn't a sidestory or a filler issue. Just. Wow. This issue left me speechless. In a good way.

As Cates did with Venom, the first arc of Thor is an exciting ride with amazing art, while the second arc is a slower and more character-focused. This is a very good first part of this slower arc and I want to see more.

I liked it. The art especially was great and it felt like the story was finally actually moving forward. However, it just feels that it is being marketed as a bigger event than it actually is. It doesn't feel that big in scope, just another mediocre Joker storyline. I said it this in my last review, but especially after "Three Jokers", this feels empty and kinda mediocre. It is hard to recommend this storyline, I just want this to end. While I like it, I just cannot recommend it due to it feeling so inconsequential.

Damn. Like really. Damn. I thought having Norman in this story would make it weaker or feel samey. I'm happy to say I was so wrong about it. Spencer is killing it and with Bagley back as the artist, I just like this so much. Everything this issue has is just great. Sins Rising has been a great storyline but this one made it amazing. I cannot praise this enough without spoiling anything so do yourself a favor and go read this. Especially if you are a long-time Spidey fan.

The explanation issue. Why this was a separate issue but very important to the storyline just confuses me. Why not make this a DM #4? Anyhow, it was eh. Just meh. Not bad, just a lot of talking and telling. Snyder really thinks anyone cares about the Robin King who is just so bad. So terribly written. He thought he could get another BWL but no. Art too was just eh. Not bad, but nothing special. Overall, an important issue to the storyline that really doesn't go forward with it's plot. Just sets up the characters for #4. Not a terrible one, but just eh. Just like this whole event.

Another good Web of Venom issue from Cates. A standalone teaser for "King in Black". And it made me even more excited than before. Artwork and writing was great even for someone who isn't so familiar with Kree or Wrath.

The Joker War itself hasn't been a good arc. Especially after "Three Jokers", this just feels empty and boring. However, this issue itself is good. But that is mostly thanks to Tynion's writing who fixes the mess that was King's run. King entirely skipped what Alfred's death meant to Bruce and that annoyed me so much. Tynion has been fixing that for a while and this issue is a great conclusion to that. Bruce feels like Bruce again and Jimenez does great arc. But, this storyline just isn't interesting. I don't care about Punchline. I don't care about the "Joker War". I just want it to end so that Tynion can create something new and exciting like his "Detective Comics" run few years back.

It is another stong entry to Spencer's "Sins Rising" -storyline. I like how Stan isn't necessarily a villain, a monster, but he has a different way of handling things compared to Spider-Man. And he brings more to the table than just Punisher's "kill them without mercy". And the best part of Sin-Eater is that he isn't just a physical threat to Spidey who he can beat in a fight. He is a more psychological enemy and that is great. Also the art is good, even if I miss Bagley a bit.

Oh damm. That was someting. Something good. I really liked it. And cannot wait for more. It is hard to review this because I don't want to say anything. Read it, be completely surprised by it.

It's fine. This whole Joker War has meen mostly fine. It is not a great story arc that felt planned and will feel earned at the #100 landmark. Nor is it the dumpster fire that was King's run from issues 50-85. It's just fine. I really didn't feel a need to have a Joker story arc (he just feels so overused currently) but I don't really hate it. I just feel that Tynion doesn't find a good "voice" to Joker. But I don't hate it. I read and I came to conclusion that this is fine. Okay. Readable.

This "Guidebook" is just a collection of short stories that should've been in either A) in the first issue to explain the situation of the DC Universe B) released alongside the main issues or C) not written at all. I don't hate them (I liked Harley's and WW/Ivy story) but the rest are just meh. Aquaman's story doesn't feel like it was necessary nor was Batman's. At all. And the first issue? It was okay but why not write it in the first issue? I usually don't like to compare Marvel or DC, I keep them as their own universes and stories but this just feels like a worse version of Hickman's Secret Wars that thinks crazy means good and random equals great.

After reading Ewing's Immortal Hulk for 2 years, David's take on Hulk is definitely different and it felt a bit odd. But not in bad way, certainly. After getting used to it, I started to grow to this. I've always liked the idea of Maestro and David certainly writes him well (he is the creator of it after all). And the art is good. Overall, I do know where we are going but the "how we get there" is a different story and I want to see more.

I liked it. A lot. Not the worthy conclusion to this storyline, as BW felt going down too easily, but who knows, maybe it will return. Overall, I was a bit disappointed maybe, but still a good read. Art is amazing and the writing is otherwise very good.

Is it good? Yes. Very much so. I've always liked darker Spider-Man stories now and then and this is becoming one more and more. And the best part is that Sin-Eater challenges Spidey in a completely new way. He doesn't even know should he stop him. And the art was excellent too. My only problem with this is Norman. After Absolute Carnage I hoped we wouldn't see him in few years but he is back... I just hope not for long. I know that Green Goblin is set to appear in #49 but I don't think it is not Norman and I hope he isn't.

This book goes to directions no one can guess. It is surprising and so good at the same time. 36 issues in and a lot has happened. But it all feels like build-up to something massive Ewing has planned. And I can't wait for more. In short, another great issue, buy it.

So, this is surprising. Very surprising. Art isn't best for explanation scenes, but very great for fight scenes. A bit repetitive and slow on progress, but still a good issue.

This still just doesn't do it for me. It just feels so rushed. Having the event start after the big battle was a mistake. Maybe the biggest problem for is that I just don't care. I don't care about BWL. I'm just annoyed by him. Every issue it feels he just becomes more and more powerful and it is getting ridiculous. Wonder Woman doesn't feel like the main character currently, because this event is still too much connected to Batman. Do we really need to see Batseid for one issue and then never again? The 7 Dark Knights felt like an horrifying enemy whose backstories were good so Snyder thought it would be better if we had 10 times more Batmen without those backstories. And again, Bruce is way-too-prepared for everything, now he had a bat-plocker to shield from Darksied blast? This isn't bad, just boring and otp. And again we are getting 5 different tie-ins and the whole event doesn't feel complete.

This was... kinda bad. And pointless. There was nothing good about this. Either being over-the-top or just plain boring. Skip this, as this isn't worth your time or money.

Bagley drawing Spider-Man is just something special. I just like it. And the story itself? It is good. Very good. Got me hooked.

Masterpiece.

It is starting to get more darker. Spencer's arcs have been a bit more lighthearted so far (Hunted being the exception) but this is starting to go somewhere. I'm as interested to know who Kindred is as the next reader, but currently, I'm fine not knowing. This issue doesn't feel like a big reveal issue, nor is it marketed as such. It is a prelude for Sins Rising, and I am excited for that. And I liked this very much.

This just isn't as good I hoped it would be. It is not bad, there isn't as much dialogue and plot as the first one, but... Maybe it is the core idea that I don't like. BWL was a good villain who served his role in Metal. But here? I just don't care. Now he is Dr. Manhattan -tier and I thought he was already but who knows. The plot doesn't really move in this issue. WW and the company just goes from A to B. And the new Batmen just don't interest me. Too many and no backstory. I just really don't care about them either. This is crazy, yes, but that doesn't automatically make it as good as Snyder hoped. Capullo's art is still great. And this really isn't bad, it is just meh.

So. That happened. Damn. This is still so good. I want more.

This was good. Very good. And surprising.

It is an epilogue and a set-up for things to come. So yes, it is slow and it is very skippable issue But I still liked it a lot. I just like how Tynion writes Bruce.

 Thor (2020) #5 Jun 30, 2020

This was fine. An okay issue, maybe not the best final issue of Their Dark Designs, but not bad either.

A masterpiece, I say. Can't wait for more.

T started reading this after revisiting Metal and that is a mistake. I haven't finished Doomsday Clock nor have I read Snyder's JL so I'm very out-of-loop. And Wally's explanation just doesn't do this for me. But this just isn't as good beginning as Metal was. Metal started as a slow mystery that was the culmination of Snyder's Batman run. Dark Days: The Forge and The Casting were excellent prequels And it worked. Metal doesn't necessarily require you to read Snyder's Batman run, as it works without it. This however, doesn't work without reading previous issues. And that bothers me. Many have compared this to Hickman's Secret Wars saga, which I loved. And yes, there are similarities here. But Doom was so much better than BWL. And Doom did what he did to save reality, BWL is just pure evil and I'm starting to get sick of him. He is a nice idea and he worked so well in Metal, but then DC just continued using him in BWl Vol 2, Infected, Year of the Villain and now this. They overuse him so much and it's getting annoying. If I were to compare this to Secret Wars, this feels like the second issue. Whereas the "final fight" and all that happened was in the first issue, this starts with the new world immediately and it gets confusing. Capullo's art is amazing and water is wet. Overall, maybe I'll enjoy this more after finishing Doomsday Clock and Snyder's JL run, but I'm left with a small disappointment right now.

An excellent start to Miles' Outlawed saga.

Very anticlimactic and boring. Doom's character was wasted.

While a bit rushed, I liked it a lot. The ending was bitterwseet and changes the dynamic a bit. Also, Boomerang's line: "LATER SUCKERS! (not you Spidey, you're cool)" just shows how much development he got during this series. And I love it.

It is okay. Art is nice and the writing is okay. As a standalone issue, this works just fine. As a penultimate issue? Not so much. There is much more potential here but it is what it is.

This seems to be somewhat based on the cancelled ASM 3 movie. It shows how good this is...

It is amazing and spectacular and feels superior to other Spider-Man stories.

Spencer reintroduces us to old characters and gives them great backstories. Combined with Ottley's great art, another stellar issue from them.

Sometimes when celebrating a landmark issue and finishing story, it falters, goes wrong or just isn't good. But this? This. Holy moly, Hulkamoly, Al Hulkwing and Joe Fixinnet did it again.

 Thor (2020) #4 Mar 12, 2020

It is not the best one, but very good still.

Boomerang and Spidey team-up. Nuff said.

It is fine. Okay. Not great. Not bad. Just fine.

Xemnu has just changed the planet. Changed the world and almost nobody seems to notice it. Robert Banner, the strangest man alive wants to destroy that planet. That world. The only thing from stopping Banner is Hulk. But Hulk needs help. And that help will come from a world breaker. I enjoy this series so much. Another 10 from me.

Very enjoyable issue, as this whole run has been. Miles' story is fun and light-hearted, showing how well Ahmed handles him. And the Ultimatum storyline moves forward in a very interesting way, and I can't wait for more.

Another excellent issue. Nothing wrong here.

Yikes.

I loved it. I like what Spencer has done with Spideys and JJJ's relationship, how it evolves, without forgetting their history. With great art and amazing writing, I cannot recomend it enough. And that side-story... teases things to come.

Nice to see my childhood hero, Xemnu, back. I too remember watching him on the TV and reading comics about the adventures of the Incredible Hulk.

Another great issue. Damn Bagleys art is just so good. And combined with Cates' writing, the magic of Venom just continues.

It is a bit pointless yes. Doesn't add much to anything. But it is still very good. Relationship between Bruce and Peter/Hulk and Peter is written very well. Art is also as good. If you like Ewing's Hulk run, this won't disappoint, even if it is not very important.

I just love this. It's so good.

It's pretty good. These issues 26-30 have not been my favourite, but they do lay the grownwork pretty well. I just want someting more, inpatient reader as I am. At first I thought Roxxon as the next antagonist would be a bit boring after #25, but I was wrong. These aren't masterpieces IMO, but still pretty good. And I still can't wait for #31. The Living Hulk is here.

Pretty interesting start that goes to path we haven't seen before with a sort-of-new team. I like it.

 Web Of Venom: The Good Son #1 Jan 24, 2020

Another smaller-scale issue that focuses on JJJ. And it is great.Coello's art is amazing too.

A hard issue to review. It wasn't for me, but it is hard to explain why I didn't like it. For a standalone issue, it's not bad, but not that amazing either.

I don't know if it is Ottley being back as the artist, but I really liked this one. A nice, slower issue that teases things to come and gives us nice MJ/Pete -moment. Spencer is better at these smaller stories IMO, the 2099 wasn't good for me.

Finally, a Batman comic with Daniel's great art that has good writing??? I've been waiting for this. It is a good start, and I've always liked how Tynion handled Bruce. But I'm a bit skeptical. I liked King's first 30 issues too, and hated the last 30 issues.

 Batman / Superman (2019) #5 Dec 19, 2019

Well, it wasn't that bad actually. Pretty okay too, like ASM #36. I didn't like this storyline very much, but I would be interested to see more.

Well. That was bad. Like actually bad. Terrible even. Alfred is dead for no reason. And it just didn't feel like it. No one seems to mourn him. What exactly happened to the batfamily? Are they okay? So, Selina and Bruce got married. Yay. But my grodd was this a slow and terrible run. And I'm glad it is over. If 35 issues of this were this slow and bad, I cannot imagine what 20 more issues whit this garbage would've been. So is Bane an idiot again? Thomas is broken but still alive in the main universe? Or dead. Who knows. Who cares. And this showcases events in a different order. Again. I don't get it why Tom loves to have flashbacks to the events while having a boring story happening in the present day. Bruce just lost his father figure and a father from alternate dimension. And seems to be fine. Like nothing happened. Which is why it doesn't feel like Alfred died. BECAUSE NO ONE SEEMS TO CARE. City of Bane was the worst Batman arc I've read after Knightmares. Absolutely terrible. And boy am I glad it is finally over.

Issues like these are hard to review. The storyline goes to a direction I didn't see. But I like it. Art is okay and serves its purpose. It's a different-kind of big storyline for Hulk now. And I like it.

This is not that good. As a first issue to a new series it would be, but as a standalone issue? It is pretty meh. At best I know a lot about Miguel O'Hara but this seemed just so off and hard to follow. And the worst of all, pointless. Like why should I care? Art was nice, even though Miguel and Gabe look exactly the same and I don't remember them looking in the original series? But, read Volumes 1-3 if you are a fan. This one doesn't seem to be important, as it is more backstory for Nueva York than Miguel. And doesn't seem to have a tie-in to ASM -run, even though we have the same writer.

This was pretty good. Much better than other 2099 issues. But I don't like that this is a standalone that doesn't affect anything. Or so it would seem right now. I could be wrong.

It's not great, but it is okay.

This feels like the only good one for me. That showcases how power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Art was great and writing solid.

It is bad. Like very bad. Sigh...

I haven't been liking this arc lately. Aside from Teresa and Peter scenes, and Miguel being back, this feels too big and too sudden.

Eh. Just eh. Reverse flashbacks might sound very artistic and deep. It actually makes it a bit more jarring, especially since I don't remember Flashpoint so well. So if someone wants to enjoy this issue more, you need to read Thomas bits backwards. So, we finally got a Thomas backstory. In a penultimate issue of King's run. There wasn't any better place to put this? Like, after "Fall and the Fallen"? (I am ashamed I remember the names of King's arcs) Put this really needed to happen before City of Bane. "Present Day" arc doesn't go anywhere. Summary is again so misleading. In other news, water; wet. What is in this, isn't actually that bad IMO. I don't hate it. I hate the idea of this, I dislike City of Bane, but this, as an issue, is fine. Okay. If you don't mind the reverse flashbacks. Does this explain Thomas' actions? Well... Eh. Sort of. I guess. He is broken. I like that Selina existed in Flashpoint but Martha killed her. I like a lot of things. King clearly had a vision for Flashpoint Batman, and focused more on him, than Bruce. I guess it takes talent to have 33 issues (from 50-83) to swift focus from Bruce to Thomas and still have Thomas a big question mark. Why didn't King write Flashpoint Batman? And left his Batman run to someone else? Also, a big error happens in this. Art is good, yes, but Flash is colored as Reverse-Flash in the only panel he appears. Sigh. Overall, if you have any interest in King's run, this issue is okay. If you don't dislike City of Bane, this issue is okay. If you dislike both, this issue is pointless. A single "okay-at-best" -issue won't fix any problems Kings run has. So, a 3/10, better luck next time?

A very good epilogue for Absolute Carnage. And that shows what will happen next.

Huh. I really don't have anything other to say here. City of Bane that has no Bane in it. Broken Bruce who wasn't really broken. Alfred who is dead, but nobody cares and buys it. Summary so bad and full of lies, but is still better and has more story than this issue. Art so good it almost makes you miss the wanna-be-deep-done-bad-writing. This doesn't make feel anything. Alfred's death means nothing to me right now. Huh. I guess that is an accomplishment. What will happen next? Who even cares at this point.

 Heroes In Crisis #9 Nov 14, 2019

This is not very good issue. Why? Because it tries to fit and event to a single issue. Sure, it is a what-if issue, but at times feels like filler or that everything happens so fast. Lobo was great, but I hate what they did with Scot. Art is passable?

I am a big Bane fan. For me, Bane has always been the best Batman villain, along with Joker. So of course I was excited for King's Knightfall. And what a disappointment it has been. Not because of art. I love Janin's style and he really sold this fight for me. Which is why this comic isn't a 0/10 or 1/10. But the writing. Why. -First of all, this reminds me a lot of WB Montreal's Arkham Origins. TN-1 = Super Venom. -And Bane talks like he would be injected to TN-1. He talks like a dumbass. He talks in two-word sentences at the beginning. WHY. His dialogue feels way off. The only dialogue I liked is when Bane yells "NO YOU RICH JACKASS. WE ARE NOT DONE." That felt like Bane to me, -Bruce lies about this being a fair-fight. It is okay for me. He is done playing fair. -Bruce says Bane isn't smart. GTFO. WHAT. SHUT UP. -The city is Selina's? Umm. Okay? When has she cared about Gotham? I don't hate it, but feels a bit off. -Bruce trying to break Bane's back. That doesn't feel Bruce to me. It would make sense if Bane successfully broke Bruce, but that was all part of the plan so why is Bruce acting like his Damian or something? -ALSO DID THOMAS JUST KILL BANE. WHAT. Overall, I have no idea what King's plan is. We still have three more issues. But. This book still surprises me. Every time think I couldn't be more disappointed in this arc and every time King proves me wrong. I don't hate guy, I liked his run before that alternate-timeline-crap-with-Booster-Gold. Which is why I was still excited for Knightfall 2.0. I'm not mad Tom, just very, very, VERY disappointed.

A great read with a gripping story. Can't wait what Bruce will do next.

A fine read. I do like Ahmed's take on Aaron and Miles' relationship. Much better than Bendis' take.

I really don't know what to think of this. On the other hand, I liked it a lot. A great final issue that is bit sad and a nice send-off. On the other hand, I hated it. It destroys the development Otto had in 6 years. I loved Superior Spider-Man and what it did to Otto. It also evolved Otto's and Peter's relationship in a way I couldn't imagine. And I hate that Otto forgets Peter's identity. It is a hard comic to review. The big question is what happens next.

I do like this a lot. Jason Aaron made me originally interested in Thor and I'm glad he is going out with a bang. Gorr is a greater final "boss", than Loki, as Gorr's actions made Thor "unworthy". So more of this please-

I didn't like Knightfall much. Too rushed, and so is this. Lois' reactions also feel way over-the-top. I would've like how corrupts her slowly, how she sees her actions slowly not mattering, if she does things like Clark. The Dark Knights worked, because they gave us a setting where Bruce's actions made sense. Or they created a new reality where he chose to do things differently (Batisher, Green Bat). Slowly becoming the Joker? I could see that. Losing Clark and fighting against him to the death? Makes sense he loses hope. Here? Lois is angry and sad and decides to become everything Clark was against and feels so out of character so quickly. So no, I don't recommend another rushed issue if "Tales from the Dark Multiverse". I like the concept in this, but not the execution.

It is not a masterpiece yet, but it is intriguing and interesting. Art is amazing, writing is pretty good. But these first 6 issues are just setting the pieces, so I am waiting for the next volume.

A slow start sure, so hard to say if this will be a good one. Art is great and writing isn't bad. So, a pretty okay issue, but the following issues will tell if this slow start is worth it.

It is just so odd and so good at the same time. Ewing is killing it in his run.

I can't wait for the finale but goddangit I love this.

Not bad, just unnecessary.

Worst tie-in yet. Art is bad, writing worse and doesn't feel connected to the event at all. Like the writer had his own head-canon and went with that. Avoid this one if possible, it contradicts with main issues much.

 Absolute Carnage: Scream #3 Oct 16, 2019

I've always loved JR Jr and his art. Especially when he was on ASM. But now it just doesn't seem right. It seems like he is not focusing as much in this, as he did in ASM. A New Ways to Die, ASM #600 all had better art than this. Maybe his style just doesn't fit Batman as well as it does on Spidey. As for the rest of the issue. It was bad. Just no. All this being Bruce's big plan that has too much luck in it? Just no. I liked the idea of Bruce being broken better than Bruce planning this all. And Thomas taking all Batfamily? Just doesn't seem right. I can't see how 30 years older man could take them like Bruce would. I just cannot understand anything anymore. Bane isn't nearly as much in this as I hoped. Thomas doesn't make sense. Bruce is being a god of deception again. Or god of foresee and I hate it. Overall, a bad issue in almost every way. I hated Knightmares, but for different reasons. I'm not mad, just so disappointed, it is hard to feel any excitment anymore, what little I had for Knightfall 2.0.

Eh. Too rushed.

That was amazing. I love how AC has it's characters coming from their own story naturally, instead of being so forced. This issue is a great continuation to Ewing's Immortal Hulk and a nice tie-in, that answers some of the questions. It also answers many questions, aka why Bruce is with the Avengers and why is he interested in this so much.

That felt very short. I love Romita Jr. art, and there wasn't any issues with King's writing, but this just felt very short. Batman comes to Gotham. Meets his villains. Thomas goes to see Damian. End. I'm glad King didn't do a 100-issue-long saga. If that would've happened, this would've been only 1/3 of this, aka Batman comes to Gotham. End. I don't hate it. But I can't recommend it or say it's good. It is just spinning it's wheels right now. I loved the idea of Knightfall 2.0. But at least, in Knightfall, stuff happened.

Holy moly hulk immortamoly. WHAT.

Umm, what just happened.

A great tie-in too that advanced the plot of both ASM and AC.

 Superior Spider-Man (2018) #10 Sep 23, 2019

It is pretty meh and doesn't feel like it has anything worthwhile in it. Just a another bland tie-in.

This is just so good. The art, the writing, everything. Amazing. Again, only bad thing about this is that it should be longer.

Great art and nice Bat-Cat moments. But still, the biggest issue I have is that this slow comic with nice moments doesn't fit with City of Bane arc. It is not bad, just feels so pointless. King's Knightfall would be great, if the pacing wasn't so bad. I guess he likes to write more slowly-paced Batman issues, but then he shouldn't write it at the same time he is writing his Knightfall.

Ar t isn't for me, but it is not bad. Writing is eh. For a first issue, it has me interested, but I am not sold yet completely. But it has surprises in it as well. It is something different than what I expected.

 King Thor #1 Sep 16, 2019

It's not necessary, it's more for Ghost Riders fans than Absolute Carnage fans, but it was still pretty good.

I liked it. A lot. Spencer doesn't act like Teresa doesn't exist, which is nice. MJ and Peter are not doing "will we, won't we" like in Slott's books, but instead are going forward. And I love it. May's speech for Peter was good. Also art is great. Andf that last page was so good!

Saladin is so good writing these Miles comics. Some nice moments and surprising twists, I can't wait to see what he has planned for us next. Garron is also very good with his art. And that Starling backstory was also a nice bonus.

Another great tie-in that feels like it's important. With great at from Coello and Cates at his best, it's hard not to recommend this.

It is pretty meh. Writing for Deadpool is so forced, it doesn't land and art is not that good either. It's not bad, just very mediocre.

I for one, don't hate it. I like it actually. I like seeing Bat and Cat together. The art is great. Writing isn't bad. What I don't like is the timeline this is set in. City of Bane is happening right now and Bruce is just relaxing. That doesn't fit to his character. I actually hate how Bruce isn't doing everything he can to stop Bane now. It's a hard comic to review. It's not bad, as a stand-alone comic, it's good. But as part of CoB, it is bad.

This was actually very good. A nice tie-in, pointless maybe for some, but I liked it.

It's not bad, but nothing special either. Art and writing are okay but this doesn't feel necessary to the main plot. If you want more Absolute Carnage, this is it, just not that worthwhile.

 Superior Spider-Man (2018) #7 Jun 12, 2019

This was a pretty okay tie-in. Not great, but not bad. Back to the Absolute Carnage, please.

Is it good? Is a question that is hard to answer these days considering King's Batman issues. Some are bad, some good, some meh, and some are hard to explain. This is one of those issues. First, yes art good, you know the drill. Style and presentation? Well, it is just Bruce and Bane fighting with Thomas narrating Bane's plan and how King's whole Batman run has been just all big plan. All connected. And it kinda makes sense and kinda doesn't. And that is the reason if you hate or love this. I am a big Bane-fan and I like him being in the front of King's plan, as Snyder has done Joker enough and never really focused on the other villains that much (yes he did some, but you get my point). No, I'm not comparing his run to King's. So the question. Does all being connected make sense? Well. Kinda. But, does it feel like it? Eh. Personally, I would've liked this to be Bane's revenge for Batman for taking his happiness away. But now that King is "I am Suicide/Bane" were all just misdirection, f it feels forced. Some of you might say that it doesn't and I can see your point. And I also understand if you think this is just garbage. I don't, but that isn't far-fetched. Overall, yes 7/10. It is not bad, kinda makes sense and I'm interested to see what happens next. If you have hated King's run since issue 50, this won't change your mind.

 Batman: Last Knight on Earth #1 Jun 2, 2019

Well, that was it. Surprisingly good ending, and wasn't what I expected. Spencer did write a Kraven storyl arc like no other and even if it wasn't as good as I thought it would be, it was good enough.

Wow, just wow. Can't wait what will come next. This comic is truly a masterpiece.

Strange and Otto work as a surprisingly good team-up. Very good issue.

Well, eh. It's odd. And a hard to review. Non-linear narrative is a new thing now for King and it works and doesn't at the same time. I feel like King doesn't get Bat-family so well, would explain why he doesn't have them so often in his books, except Nightwing. But why non-linear narrative works: we get new revelations at the same time and we get to great artists at work. Why it doesn't work: one could think the other one is a dream. Or they both are. King is known to be very vague about this things, it wouldn't surprise me if one of those was a dream. After the disaster that was Knightmares, where you couldn't figure out were they dreams or not, in about half of them. Also, when Bruce talks how he is gonna break Bane? It doesn't feel like it is Bruce talking. It feels like Miller is writing those lines and that is not good. I kinda get it, Bruce is so broken as he was in Millerverse that he would say these things, but on the other hand, just no. I don't hate this like I did Knightmares. It is not terrible, it is something that you like, hate or are just confused about it. Art is great, writing very on-off. And the last thing that I don't like, Thomas and Bane. ´They don't appear much and I'm afraid that we will see them more in issues 95-100. And all this is just build-up. It's not a bad idea, but 20-40 issues of build-up is too much, because it won't live up to the hype in this case and I know it.

Damn, that was a nice twist. And a good comic. I like it very much. And Knull -reference? I see what you are doing Cates...

Damn. It is amazing. The art, the style, the writing, the mood this book gives, the horror. Simply amazing.

Simply amazing. Taylor really has his ways in these smaller stories.

A very good issue. Writing and the artwork is on point. Arkham Knight's identity is a clever one and makes his/her's motivation so much cleraer now.

One would think this would be just CW's Flash done again. But it's not. It has it's own spin it and something new to explore. Definitely interested where this goes.

This is more like a Mysterio comic, then Symbiote Spide-Man. And I'm okay with it. It is just that good.

Very good mini-series. The Batman Who Laughs is a great villain for Bruce and this series shows us more evil version of Bruce, which I like. I wasn't a f an of the art in the beginning, but I'm grown to like it.

That was pretty good. Not enough focus on Vulture, but I do like the art and how great Kraven is manipulating everyone in this event. And that Vermin stuff was also interesting.

After Knightmares, it was pretty good. Art is nice and while Batman talks a bit too much, sounding sometimes a bit too edgy, I can live with that. As long as the next issues aren't so off with his dialogue. But the slow start is an issue here. Usually it isn' necessary, but after Knightmares, which was a waste of 8 issues, it really starts to annoy here, if the progression is still slow.

With good writing, artwork and nice new arc for Miles, it's hard not to recommend this.

A huge disappointment. For a guy who wasn't invested in this or even cared. First of all. Spoilers. So, they ruined him. Wally. I get why. He is the only one, who could fake this, who had the power and the knowledge to do how. I get that. He was a broken guy, I get that. In some way, it makes sense. If it wasn't for this huge issue that Kings has. He doesn't change the story to fit the characters. He changes the characters to tell his story. And it shows. King tries his best to tell why Wally did it. But it's still wrong, doesn't work and the revelation feels so forced. Wally didn't mean so much to me, but I'm sure he meant a lot for some readers. And this is why this is so bad. If someone wrote that Spidey did the same things that Wally did, I would be enraged. The art is amazing yes, but this time, it doesn't save this comic.

Okay, this was pretty good. I feared that Bunn would make Venom worse after Cates, but he still writes this well and this crossover doesn't feel so forced. Interested to see what happens next. And yes, Coello's art is still great.

To be honest, it was pretty okay. Doesn't save this arc being terrible, but at least this was okay and not annoying or feeling like filler. Art was great and writing was passable, a bit messy but not bad. I get what King was trying to do, but it was executed pretty badly. But this arc took way too long. 8 issues is too much for so little story that feels so disjointed.

It is not terrible. Art works very well to this issue. Dynamic between Selina ja Lois is very good. Supes and Bat's -stuff is meh. But this issue doesn't work because it is not real. It would work so much better, if it was before issue 50. And Bruce wasn't written so workaholic. Now, the final panel is something that this event has needed for a longest time. Something to show that this is part of something bigger. Sure, we know that Batman is facing his nightmares, but if you didn't read synopsis, every issue has nothing to do with another. I mean nothing. And while that final panel is something that is needed, this issue shouldn't be that.

That was good. Much better what I expected. A solid writing, a new take on Mysterio and bit-more-aggressive-but-not-over-the-top Spidey is also handled well.

This feels forced. And bad. And so full of cliches. And bad writing. And characters are acting like so oddly here. It is like they are written by a person who hasn't seen their growth in 30 years or so...

I haven't read any of Aaron's work in a long time. And this was still pretty good. That's saying something.

It's not bad, but lack of Kraven and Spider-Man makes it a bit hard to give it a perfect score. Writing is solid and art is nice, but it's still not Spencer's A-game. Although the last page and the blue boxes are.

Like what. You know the drill, art is nice, yes. And the summary is full of crap and now, so is the cover? King really ups his game. But again, nothing happens. That's not anything new, but this time, I wasn't angry after this issue. Just confused. Why is Babs bff with Hartley now? Maybe if I reread HiC, I might remember, but I don't care enough. I'm confused, but enough to be actually mad about this. This is the first issue where the dialogue wasn't totally off for me, just okay. Wally stuff is confusing, I think King has no idea where to focus here. This feels like Wally West -story, but at the same time, it doesn't at all. I mean, this Hartley-Booster-Batgirl-Blue-Beetle -combo is not bad idea, if we start to focus on that. It's just too late. And those 9-panels don't do anything for me, at least they weren't so confusing or unnecessary as usual. This would've worked if Wally was the only one who died, and maybe Ivy as the second victim. And while Trinity is looking it the usual way, Hartley and Booster start looking in it in their own way. Again, the idea isn't bad, and while the execution is usually terrible, it's not this week. It's easy to hate HiC and I get many people's reasons why, but this week, it wasn't honestly that bad. Or maybe I don't have the will to hate this anymore. If I realize it later, I might give this a 3. Not it gets a 4, and that's because the art and that it didn't make me so angry again.

So, the art was nice. And that about it. Why was this necessary again? This felt even more pointless than usual. AND THAT'S SAYING SOMETHING. Forgettable, wanna-deep comic. King please, don't do heavy-dialogue issues one week and no-dialogue issues next week. There is nothing genius or deep about this. Nothing in Knightmares is. King wants it to be so genius, so deep, breathtaking. It's not. I would be usually fine with this, but again, nothing in Knightmares feels like it's an event. Just 5 random comics that are put together that doesn't amount to anything. This is getting very old. Cannot wait the next issue where art is good, nothing happens and this event feels even more pointless then before.

Very nice comic. I always liked when Bendis did these small character-based stories and I'm glad that Ahmed is no different. Vice principal is a great J.J. Jameson for Miles that still feels enough different.

Not as strong as previous entries, but good enough. I felt like Stegman's art was even better this week than usual.

It's interesting and different. Too early to say it's awesome, but it's not bad.

Knightmares feels to be pointless arc. We haven't seen anything. This arc focuses on Bruce's feelings on the wedding and him trying to make sense to it. But changing the characters and the artist every issue doesn't make this arc great. It just makes it disconnected. The biggest issue? AGAIN, WE HAVE FLASHPOINT BATMAN AND BANE WORKING TOGETHER TO BREAK BRUCE. AND WE SITLL DON'T GET TOO SEE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. And we have to wait until issue 70. So 3 more issues of this to be honest, nonsense. It's not bad by any means. But pointless. And in a wrong place. The writing isn't so deep and great like King hopes it would be. Not bad, but he can do better. Also the fact that nothing new happens hear in Bat's and Cat's relationship isn't helping.

Very good issue. Especially the Miles part.

HOLY MOLY HULKAMOLY. Art wasn't the best. My only real issue with this issue. Heh. I'll be gone now. Buy it. Read it.

 Hulkverines #1 Mar 3, 2019

I'm interested. I like Kraven and this is something new, not just "Kraven's Last Hunt 3.0". Art is great as always. I'm not superhyped, but interested enough.

"I'm glad the drama between Flash and Batman isn't going to be a lasting thing", I said. WELL... Sigh. It's not bad. Art is nice, writing is somewhat okay. But this ending was still pretty meh. And since we got anoter crossover coming soon, I have no interest in it. My grodd, Heroes in Crisis ruined this too...

Umm, what just happened? I'm not confused because of the plot. Moreso because of the lack of plot. Why does Gnarkk have so important role right now? WHat did it add to the plot? The sudden focus to Wally, Harley and Gnarkk is mindblowing. In a very bad way. They are sad, traumatic, very sad, more traumatic, cry, so deep, oh no. Yes, Wally has every reason to be sad. Harley too. I don't know who Gnarkk is and I'm just confused why King focuses on him now. He did the same with Kite-Man (in War of Jokes and Riddles), but Kite-Man was important to the story. Gnarkk deosn't seem to be. Harley's problems come way too late and I still don't understand why now. These could be good as a separate tie-in issues, but three ones strapped together? No. In a boring event, where nothing happens, filler issue makes it even worse. At first, I thought that this idea is good, execution is only bad. But now I don't even know anymore. I hate this idea now. It is that bad. WHatever you may think of King's other work, don't buy this. I don't hate the guy, but this is just so bad. I don't buy this wanna-be-deep writing King does right now. We are six issues in and nobody has any idea what happened. Six issues in and the plot hasn't moved at all. To anywhere. If you read this after the first issue, nothing wouldn't change. Same goes to any issue if this event.

Cage makes this just work. Otto shouldn't be able to defeat Terrax and Cage knows it. Art is great, and Cage is doesn't shy from "canon" of SSM.

Not as good as I hoped it would be... Art was great, but I still had a meh-reaction to this.

Still going strong. I have no words for this, it's that good.

Not as messy as Infinity Wars. But not good either. Since it is an almost direct sequel to Infinity Wars, it's still pretty bad. Messy storytelling, odd choices, etc.

For some reason Bachalo's art is so much better in this issue. And I like how Spencer shows how important May really is to Peter, a lot of times the writers only mention Ben, when it really is May who is the bigger inspiration to Peter nowadays. I don't understand what part former Goblin has in Spencer's storyline, but I'm interested to see where it goes. And Kraven's plan? Even more interesting. Overall, a solid issue.

Gordon Jr. is amazing in this. And so is almost everything else. The art is a bit rushed in some places but otherwise acceptable. But why I like this mini-series so much is because of the ultimate villain that BWL is for Bruce. No matter what he thinks or plans, Batman Who Laughs has already think that. And Snyder doesn't undercut Bruce in anyway to make BWL look more awesome. My only real issue in this mini-series is that the Grim Knight could have more backstory, but oh well. And the ending only makes it better to me. The idea of Batman isn't working right now for Bruce. Bruce cannot do anything to defeat BWL, except to become like him.

That was better than Knightmares. But not that good. It was okay. A bit odd and out-of-place, but still, not bad. But it is too early to recommend this no idea what's happening, but not in a good way where Iam invested what happens next. Now I am just confused and I feel like since this can go anywhere, it can go pretty bad too... Art is nice though.

Yikes. That was unexpected. And amazing.

You know the drill. I recommend it, you buy it. It's still good. Just read it.

Very interesting. A bit slow yes, but it takes it's time in a good way.

Pretty okay one. WOuld be better if Bachalo's art wasn't so sloppy. It's been better in past, but right now it was mediocre at best, and too often pretty bad. Messy art does distract from the story...

What a trainwreck. It's not as bad as the last one because nothing still happens. Superman talks to the press. And that about it. And why bother with this synopsis DC, if nothing happens in this issue like the synopsis says? Falsee marketing to make someone interested in this event because King's writing isn't making it? Still tries to be too deep and it fails miserably. We see so many heroes while Superman talks, but why? They are not part of the event? I think they aren't. Can't remember. BECAUSE IT'S BORING. Art is still pretty good. Not oversexualized potrayals of women this time. That's a plus? A positive. Yeah. It's a positive. I'll take it. +Women aren't potrayed as bad in art as the last time. +Art? -EVERYTHING ELSE. Boring. Bland. So why I read this you may ask? Because still, deep down, I hope King can make this good or reveal it's a dream or something, I don't know. I just hope. And every issue I lose more hope then I thought I could.

I've missed you Scott. And I'm glad you are back and better than ever.

We have a 8 -part storyline going right now. That hasn't gone anywhere. Positives? +Janin's artwork is simply amazing. I just love it. +It would be nice to have Bruce and Selina as a couple. Now the negatives: -Wanna-be-deep writing? I don't know, it is hard to explain, especially since english is not my main language, but this writing is so wanna-be-deep and it feels so off in a Batman comic. King wants to break Bruce psychologically, but he does it so slowly and it's not that good. It feels so off right now, it's hard to say why. It's not terrible, awful like his Booster Gold storyline was, just meh. And the other big problem we have right now? I don't care. At all. I was interested in having Knightfall 2.0 but right now it is done so slowly that I'm just not that excited for it anymore. At this rate, we will have the conclusion to this King's 100-issue arc in december/next year and that is too long. King has written good filler-issues in the past, that is not the problem here. The problem is that it's filler that doesn't lead to anywhere and it's in a moment where there should be excitment. WE HAVE FLASHPOINT BATMAN WORKING WITH BANE TO BREAK BRUCE AND KING JUST WON'T LET US SEE ANYTHING ABOUT THAT. Right now we have 8-part event Knightmares where each issue is completely different than the previous one in a bad way. If I didn't know these last three issues were numbered 61, 62 and 63, I I would think I would've missed some issues. And that is a big problem.

It still going strong. Amazing series.

 The Batman Who Laughs (2018) #2 Jan 16, 2019

Holy moly venomoly. Pure awesomeness.

Art was okay. And that was the only positive about this issue. What are the negatives you may ask? Well, first of all, nothing happens to move story forward. I get it King, 100-issue story arc is a lot of writing and it is certain that some of the issues would be filler. I'm okay with that. But having an exciting cliffhanger and then not continuing it for two issues? Now that is a problem. It wouldn't be a big one, if this issue was good. It wasn't. And why you may ask? If I look this issue as it's own, not thinking other issues, it has a big problem. I don't hear Batman in most of the inner dialogue. I just don't. Usually when I read character's inner dialogue, I get who that character is. If this was some father in Batman costume, I would totally believe it. So, bottom line: avoid this one.

It's more like Spider-Geddon farewell issue, than Spider-Gwen issue. But it is a good one, so I don't have a problem with that. And it still focuses on Gwen.

First of all, skip the synopsis. Nothing happens in this issue what synopsis says. Positives. Artwork is pretty good. Althought the sexualisation of Harley, Batgirl and Lois just doesn't make sense here. It's so out of place. And yes, the positives just became a negative thjing. And then, what problems does this have you may ask. Well. First of all, nothing happens. Booster escapes, Harley meets Batgirl and Lois Lane releases the vids or something to the public of the Sanctuary because reasons. Writing is bad. Especially for Batman, which is odd, since KING WRITES BATMAN AND WILL WRITE IT FOR ANOTHER 38 ISSUES OR SOMETHING. Or isn't and it shows how doomed we are. 4 issues in and we still have no idea what happened. Was it Harley who doesn't care that Ivy dies or was it Booster who is the one character King clearly cannot write well. At all. Who knows, not me. WHo cares, not me. Perhaps it is an A.I. that Batman created. And that will be revealed in the last issue. All those deaths feel so meaningless, since nobody reacts to them. GA was the only one and that happened in his own comic which was much better. Idea itself isn't bad, the execution is. This event feels like King thinks his writing is so deep and clever. Well it isn't. It's boring and/or bad. And so is this comic. I wouldn't mind but it is so big event that has so many consequences that I cannot ignore it.

What an excellent start. I'm not usually interested in Hulk but Al Ewing's new direction has me hooked.

Damn. Just damn. So good.

I'm not actually sure what happened but it was good. Never thought I would like a Hulk series so much.

Noow that was unsatisfying. Bagley has great artwork, but this just feels so meh. I didn't like Initty Wars, so I'm glad that this mostly stays out of it, butit just feels like an preview of things to come in a bad way, not an exciting way.

Just amazing. If you want to see Eddie and Venom taken to a new and exciting direction, buy this.

Great start. Really excited for this series, Otto has become one of my favorite characters in the MU. Cage already showed that he wrote Otto great in Spider-Geddon (as bad as that series was). Artwork is okay, not best, but certainly not worst.

What a mess. Truly awful event. First of all, what were the consequences? None. Okay. Major character death that happens so fast and doesn't make any sense. This was gonna be the epic Infinity Stones saga? Oh please. Duggan usually writes well but this was just so bad.

That wasn't a good event but the ending was pretty okay. Inheritors were the worst, but at least they have now new role. The ending is as good as it could be, artwork is okay. But if you haven't read the million tie-ins this event had, you're gonna be lost (Spider-Verse had this problem too).

I don't what just happened. Pacing in this comic is just so SO BAD. Art is nice.

Not as bad or mediorce as the other's have been. It's a bit surprising and okay.

First of all, spoilers. Got It? Ok. This is interesting. How Bane will break Batman by making everyone hating him and himself questioning is he on the right here. Mikel Janin does great artwork. "YOU SHOT MY BOY!" I've been waiting that line for a longest time. How Bruce finally lashes on Bane for hurting Grayson. But it's still very slow. I MEAN VERY SLOW. Ten issues in and we know very little of Bane's plan. I get that King wants to write his Knightfall, but ehhh... 41 issues left and two of them are part of Flash crossover. So 39 issues left? Ehh... And Batman punches Gordon. I get that he is broken and on some level, I'm not surprised. But. I don't know. I still doesn't work. It's complicated. Bruce clearly is shocked that he did it and he has every reason to (I mean, if you were punching someone who you know almost killed your son and s your closest friend tried to stop you, you would punch him). I can understand why he did it, but I still understand if you hated that he did it. So yes, my rating is 8.5. I kinda liked it. But if you disagree, know that I understand where you're coming from. Here, next on Batman, Bruce fights Alfred I guess? Same Bat-time, same Bat-channel.

It's kinda odd. This is wrong setting for a good Batman and Superman story. But Taylor still does it. Awesome Batman/Superman -story. And a great send-off. This makes the Injustice -series even more heartbreaking.

Still pretty meh. Art isn't the best and Inheritors aren't doing anything aren't used very well either. What I do like is the writing on Spiders and how Peter's and Morlun's feud isn't the main focus this time.

Well, this is pretty okay. It's hard to tell why it's just okay, but it is. Storyline could be interesting?

 What If? (2018): Thor #1 Oct 24, 2018

The art is great and the writing is too. But. What makes this annual bad for me is the inconsistencies. Felicia worked with Venom in Venom Inc. and he earned her respect. So her view is very odd. Shocker has fought Venom in Venom #164, they act like that never happened. And the worst of all, Gargan. "Venom doesn't eat people, he is not scary..." GARGAN YOU WERE A HOST OF THE SYMBIOTE. YOU ATE PEOPLE. WHEN YOU WERE IN DARK AVENGERS. Gargan hates Venom, but he knows what it is capable of. Gargan would not understimate it.

If we would review this comic just by it's art, a solid 9. Tony Daniel is a good artist. And I think he is chosen to be artist every time King writes a terrible comic. This and Booster Gold-future-mess proves that. Just two dudes fighting while a fairy-tale is being read in a flashback. And Batman leaves KGBeast dying. King, the last thing you wanna do is take inspiration from BvS. Overall, terrible issue. Batman acts like he is in Dark Knight Returns, but this isn't a Frank Miller comic from 90s. And the most disappointing thing is that King can do better.

Another great issue. Who knew that Boomerang would be so interesting character? And I love that Spencer gets Peter right. Peter knows he shouldn't do the right thing since it mibht bite him in the ass in the future but he still does it because it is the right thing to do. And that new villain has me interested.

Bad ending. Nothing is really good here.

Well that cover is misleading. This issue and the whole event is just a mess. Spoilers, but who cares. So, Emmarine is split by Phoenix Logan who meets Loki with King Thor because...? Why? Why bring Jason Aaron's great characters to this mess if there is no reason to it? And that's what this event feels like. Great characters are in a event just to make it look cool, not that it makes sense. He gives Loki the Power stone who can split them. How? Shouldn't Mind Stone do that? Or reality stone? And then nothing really happens. Loki recruits Kang, Kamala, Hulk, Ant-Man because reasons. And Kang is for some reason accompying them? Why? Kang acts so out of character here. And the main villain is some magical entity or Gamora or Watchers who cares. Marvel has a bad habit of taking good writers and making them to do an event that sucks. This event is a good example of that. Art is nice I guess?

 Doctor Strange (2015) #389 Sep 30, 2018

When I read this comic I once again realize why Spider-Man is my favorite hero even after 18 years of seeing him on tv, movies, games, or reading his comic books. And why he is the greatest one of them all.

That was just great. Awesome and funny.

That was very underwhelming. Very mediocre, from writing to artwork. The idea isn't the best and the synopsis of this issue is not true at all.

Otto is handled very well and Peter here is written like he is in the game. And his gadgets are used well as his history with Otto. Artwork is just great.

This was pretty good storyline. Not nearly as good as Cates' but it doesn't pretent to be one.. At first I was very skeptical but was surprised by the writing. Bagley has amazing artwork as usual.

The idea of prequels is to bring something new to the table, while keeping the story familiar. This does that. It focuses how much Venom actually cared for Spider-Man, what it thought and why it did what it did. And why it started to hate Spidey so much. Great writing and flashback-ish artwork.

This was an interesting story arc. Good, but it came out of a bad 50th issue. So that is my one of my issues. The other one being that that the killing of those 3 women is not yet resolved. i hope it will be. Still, comparing Batman to God was interesting and it shows how Bruce has lost his faith in Batman. In himself. Artwork was very good to this arc. It wouldn't normally work, but in this one, it works very well.

Artwork is great, story arc is pretty okay. Turk makes this much more interesting and their team-up could be something great. I actually don't know what happens next, Gamora with Infinity Stones and Loki whispering in her ear.

It's pretty good. I hated Batman #50, so as a follow-up to that, this sucks. As a standalone story, this is great. I have so mixed feelings about this. At least the art is great.

It's a crazy idea. But an awesome one.

This is a good issue because we have Turk, Bullseye, Guardians and Thanos in the same setting with infinity stones. I'm very glad that this isn't just a sequel to Infinity Gauntlet or a comic version of Avengers: Infinity War. Gamora's actions could use a bit more of exploring, but otherwise a very enjoyable read. Not great, nor awesome, but good enough.

I don't know how Spencer does this. Spidey is back again as a jobless student, but Spencer makes it interesting and feeling fresh. This isn't perfect comic, but very enjoyable one and sometimes, that is all you need. Awesome artwork by Ottley doesn't make it any worse though.

Why bother telling why it's so good when you can see the rating and then buy it yourself? I don't want to give anything away, just buy it. Read it.

Well, that hype was a waste of time. And so was the synopsis for this issue. And all the build up. I guess the cliffhanger is okay-ish? But after all that hype and build-up, why end it just there?

This is crazy and should not work. But it does, because Cates knows what he is doing and Marvel lets him do whatever he wants. Those two are the reasons why Cates comics are so good.

Just amazing. Spectacular. Pure greatness. Both Stegman and Cates are at the top of their game. Both the writing and the artowrk are just great. And they are handling Miles very well. A great "guest star".

Symbiote God is coming. And boy are we ready.

This was a great send-off from Slott. See Bendis? This is how you do a final issue. And I haven't felt this sad for a comic book character's death in a long time. But it is great to see that Spidey's relationships with Otto and Eddie have now changed. And Carnage seems to be death. Artwork was great from every artist. I really have no issues with this. Final battle with Gobby was a bith meh, but this was still a great ending to a great storyline.

That was bad. This was Bendis farewell issue, not Iron Man's 600th issue. And that is why this feels russed, poorly executed and sloppy. Art is nice, but this just doesn't make any sense when looking it by it's story. And Rhodes is back. WHY. WHY. WHY. WHY DID YOU KILL HIM BENDIS ONLY TO RESURRECT HIM LIKE ONE YEAR AFTER? Skip Search for Tony Stark. It is very bad. Jump right to Slott's issue and hope it is better. And if you wonder why Tony isn't in coma anymore,you won't get anymore answers buy reading this.

There are good and bad things about this issue. Good: Art was nice. And the major good thing about this is that it's finally finished. FINALLY. Now the bad: EVERYTHING ELSE. MY GOD WAS THIS AWFUL. JUST SO BAD THAT I CANNOT EVEN DESCRIBE IT. DON'T READ THIS. AND MAKE SURE KING NEVER WRITES BOOSTER AGAIN.

Very good start. Avengers 1.000.000 BC. are an interesting concept and I want to see more of them. Jason Aaron is the right guy for this series and the artwork is great.

Amazing ending to amazing series. I hope this Murphyverse keeps on coming.

I'm so glad my excitment for Cates's series wasn't wasted. This book, writing and the artwork by Stegman are all amazing to me. Can't wait for next one! -None really. +Everything else, you won't be disappointed.

Last week's issue was the worst of this series. This week's isn't any better. "Oh Brucie, you were never the world's greatest detective." C'MON KING THIS JUST LAUGHABLE. Dialogue is so bad, Booster's actions make no sense, Selina is what now? A serial killer who makes cat noises? And we still don't get why Dick is Batman. And kills. We hear the name Joker, but we don't see anything. Todd is mentioned again but I know there isn't anything else for him except vague mentions. I just cannot comprehend how bad this is. Artwork is better then last week. So this one gets a better rating.

The story arc was a mess and there are lots of issues in this comic, but still, it is pretty good. Bendis is at his best, when he writes smaller stories about a very little group of people. BIG events were never his thing. So this comic is pretty good. I mean, there are lots of issues, Cable thingie, disease, disappointing ending to the Sinister Six Reborn storyline, but still, I liked it. Maybe I just like Miles so much, I don't know. Artwork is great, as always.

That was abrupt and disappointing ending to a pointless event that started from a bad storyline. But at least in Venomverse, Poisons felt like they were a threat. Now? They don't. Poison Thanos, who is supposedly as strong as Thanos with a symbiote is defeated by that Kid Kaiju guy very easily. Eddie headlocks Poison Doom(?). Cletus is now dead(?) until he isn't. Poison Wolverine exists now for some reason in the prime universe. Artwork was meh at best. Dialogue is a big letdown. There are so many characters to write so each one gets two-three panels. Venomverse was bad, Poison-X was a pointless crossover and this was the worst of these three. At least Donny Cates starts writing Venom next week. I'm actually hyped for that, since Mike Costa ended his storyline badly last week and Bunn's run shouldn't be mentioned. Ever.

This is the first time I don't like King's issue. At all. But this is just so bad. -First of all, Booster jokes how Hal killed himself? What? And acts so childish in this. -Second, Dick is Batman who kills superheroes before they will be jokerized? What?? How is that logical, I don't even... WHAT? -We got a glimpse of Duke who is braindead. How was that necessary? And Talia and Ra's sword figting. Yeah, without Batman, Ra's doesn't have a heir. -Even the summary of this comic is confusing. Was King on high when he wrote this? +Artwork is nice I guess?

Great artwork and writing makes me wonder why isn't this much effort put in the main issues of this crossover?

I really don't care this as an Avengers story. To me, it feels more as an amazing Hulk story.

It's good when it's a Hulk story. As an over-the-top-Avengers-story, not so much. I'm glad Al Ewing will continue writing Hulk in his new series. Because when Hulk is in it, it's great.

When Simon and Hulk talk, it's great. When Hulk appears, it's great. When Bruce is in it, it's great. When they don't appear at all, it's mediocre.

Voyager isn't that interesting character. Nor are the Challenger and the Grandmaster compelling villains... But thanks to Bruce and Jarvis, this issue is enjoyable enough.

 Marvel Two-In-One (2017) #4 Apr 6, 2018

So it's Iron Doom vs. Doomactus? I'm in. Great artwork and good dialogue makes this a great FF story. Valerio Schiti is no Jim Cheung, but manages to keep up with him. Also Marvel, S.H.I.E.L.D. costumes look great. Especially Spider-Man's. Would you be kind and keep them?

It could be a DC's Ghost Rider. But it doesn't feel like it. There is a bit of GH there, but they manage to make more then just that. And Joe seems to be an okay character. Nothing big and exciting, but for a first issue, Justin sells it. Also, Brimstone is originally from Apokolips. Coincidence? I don't think so and that makes this even more interesting. See DC? This is how you make a character that has similarities to Marvel's, but manage to put your own spin to it. Compared to Damage...

Damn. Haven't felt this kind of excitment for a Spidey comic after Clone Conspiracy. Glad that unlike Bendis, Slott is finishing his Spider-Man run with a bang. +Great artwork from Immonen as always +J.J.J. has good development and his story arc moves forward with Flash. +FINALLY. RED GOBLIN. -Emma kidnapping the kids felt bit odd...? But it could be a good thing after this so it's not a dealbreaker.

King writes a good Catwoman. And the art is good as always.

Bendis had a great time with Miles. So why is he going out with a bummer? This "Sinister Six Reborn" is just boring... Nothing happens until big action scene that feels so off. He has so many characters for this story arc and half of them are wasted and another half doesn't get enough time. Even artwork feels bit off...

-There are some moments where it's exposition heavy and too much mumbo jumbo. -It is a bit rushed and should've been more then 6 issues. 8 maybe? -Might not have so good ending and feel that it has lasting consequences. -Not all threads are closed in a good way +It sets ups future events pretty well. +Amazing artwork +Wonder Woman is amazing here. +We see Batman and Joker fighting against Batman Who Laughs. Enough. Freaking. Said.

It's very odd to have a tie-in issue to be much better then the main story, but somehow, this still happened. Amazing artwork and writing shows that Doctor Strange is still one of the best comics Marvel has right now.

Not a bad start. Surprisingly slow, but that isn't always a bad thing. It's a good thing John remembers Spidey's identity and it wasn't just a Spectacular Spider-Man-thing that woudl be retconnet later. Immonen's art is great as always.

This feels so unncecessary. Making Ivy villain again just to have her as a villain. It never felts like it's everyone against Bat and Cat and the writing isn't King's best. Artwork is the saving grace here.

Murphy is killing with his artwork, storytelling and world-building.

They are really stretching this Search for Tony Stark. And what's with the Doom downgrade? Also, Arno appears. For two panels. And other characters. +Artwork is nice -Just decide does Riri have Ironheart armor. Don't change it very comic. -We have many characters appearing for two or three panels. Yay. -DOOM DOWNGRADE

It's the stupidest and greatest Ghost Rider story on a another comic book.

Despicable Deadpool is still one of the Marvel's greatest ongoing titles. Duggan makes Wade more than just-a-joke-character, and his relationship with Rogue is handled very well. And Cap coming back? This is going to be interesting...

The best issue of the storyline so far. It's not saying much, but it was okay. +Riri was showing maturity and her scenes were good +Tony and Howard hallucination was great -Doom scenes were not -Tony is now out of his armor, but the "search of Tony Stark" still moves forward very slowly, because they want it to last until 600. So 4 issues more, yay.

So we have this big strong guy who can't talk and is angry and his human self cannot control his monster self and he is facing army. WHERE HAVE WE SEEN THIS BEFORE? Awful comic. The writing is so predictable (we don't have to be their monster) or whatever and the artwork is mediocre at best. I don't mind DC and Marvel borrowing each other's ideas as long as they can make it interesting and have new dynamics. Marvel's Hyperion is a "pastiche" (nice word for rip-off) of Superman but seeing him work with Avengers/Ultimates especially Thor is interesting. But this? This is just forgettable version of Hulk's backstory. +Damage looks pretty cool +"Hulk" joining Suicide Squad is interesting I guess...? -Everything else.

Amazing. No other words from me. One of the few Legacy titles that are actually worth it.
