This is a painful issue. A lot of the dialogue from the movie just does not fit into a comic book format. There is no extra depth to any of the significant moments from the movie and once again the art is really weak.

The force vision scene is really weak in this comic. It was one of the most pivotal moments in the film but its wasted in this comic. Princess Leia looks like a man in this story. I think this adaptation is only getting worse as it goes.

This new Avengers team still feels like a second rate team. I haven't found any of the characters that compelling and they just don't seem like that interesting of a team. This book just can't seem to hook me.

I found this issue very boring. There are plenty of noteworthy Marvel characters in any of the Avengers groups but they used most of them so little or not at all. The best parts of the issue were Vision's conversation Scarlet Witch and Deadpool's change of heart with Steve Rogers help. I could do without almost everything else.

The art continues to be the best part about this series. The story is not that interesting, the villains are not compelling and the dialogue can be so corny and predictable. I don't think I will bother going any further with this comic.

I was having some fun with this arc because I felt like there were going to be at least a few questions answered by the end of everything. This issue is pretty much a series of scene cutting back and forth from character to character. There is still no depth. The art remains solid but this story ends with so many questions still on the table.

Not a great book. I really think the art doesn't look like much more than rough sketches with color and the story implies a lot of stuff without really explaining anything. The moments with Lois and Clarke are the best part of this book but there really isn't a whole lot to enjoy with this Justice League Rebirth title.

Wow this issue is a complete write off considering how good the last two issues were. The dialogue couldn't get anymore stupid and then when we finally see what is inside that egg it couldn't get any more ridiculous. The art has been the early highlight of the series to this point and that is still the case, but hopefully Charles Soule can get his feet again.

I've really enjoyed this series but this annual issue is not good and not worthy of the extra money. The creative team is changed from the main series (which is common) but the book really feels it. Its full of nothing but lame and clichéd dialogue and the story is so paint by numbers. It feels like this book is meant for a kid just learning to read. Still its Star Wars.

There are still a lot of moments that are not properly executed at all. There is no tension but some of the art improves. Luke Skywalker was very well done. This issue is probably one of the more overloaded books of the whole adaptation but it is probably one of the most enjoyable. Not that its saying much. This whole series certainly isn't essential. At least watch the movie before you ever consider reading this.

I don't find this first issue to be very coherent. It doesn't really feel like a Deadpool story. The issue is filled with a bunch of characters that are a hired by Deadpool to pretend they are Deadpool. It doesn't have any of the classic jokes that you want from a Deadpool book and it doesn't really appear to be setting up a storyline that is really that interesting.

It appears to be a story that takes place in between the arc in present day but this Deadpool 2099 just doesn't seem that interesting to me. I'm only interested to see how the Wade Wilson Deadpool made it to 2099. I don't really care about the new female Deadpool

The Force Awakens adaptation does exactly what the title suggests. Chuck Wendig is a writer that a lot of Star Wars canon enthusiasts dislike already because of his Aftermath novel. The dialogue is nearly copied from the movie which is what you can expect. There is no more depth to the characters and the descriptions we get on each character are laughably bad. I still enjoyed the book for what it was though. I really didn't care for the art though because most of the Star Wars comics do a great job of getting the characters to look right. None of these characters really look the people that I loved from the movie.

The art still isn't great. The dialogue is cut a lot and there is no depth to the characters. Just another mediocre adaptation. I wish that they could've done better on the drawings of characters. They still just look like rough sketches.

I never really cared for this section of the book and I'm not very engaged with the visual element either.

The art still stands out. Wonder Woman continues to look really great in this Action Comics series but there really isn't a whole lot more going here that is really that cool. The story tries to go for the heart strings in the middle of the issue but it just doesn't work because the dialogue is so cliched. Even Superman's thoughts while he is fighting Doomsday are really stupid and have absolutely no depth. They also thrown Superwoman in there for absolutely no reason. She has nothing to do and she's only there to try and sell her own book that came out today. Good try DC but I'm not buying it.

I didn't understand everything that went on in this issue because I refuse to read Avengers Standoff because I don't want to read the other Avenger books. The ending was fairly well done but other than that this book was forgettable. I can't wait for this crossover to end and we can get back to a story that I'll enjoy.

Meh, I think this Parker Industries story is going to fade away pretty quick. The whole fish out of water situation just isn't producing any interesting stories.

Most of the stories were hit or miss in my opinion. The Batman and Harley Quinn story was probably my favorite but I wouldn't consider any of these to be very memorable and I wouldn't expect them to tie in to the main story much either.

This story just doesn't feel like Deadpool at all. He isn't really the main character in this issue because all the fake Deadpool's take up more of the story. Deadpool is almost a pure hero now too as he's a member of the Avengers and he's not all about the money like he used to be. The story is alright I'm just not convinced that its a Deadpool story.

I continue to enjoy the art in this comic but Green Arrow hasn't been anything more than continuous showdowns between hero and villain. The action is good but its consistently bringing the same thing to the table over and over. This is really no struggle and the dialogue has all the cliched comic book quips.

I'm not sure if I can really handle all the rugged dialogue between the characters in this comic. I'm not sure its for me. I've not found Harley that interesting and I find her dialogue so simple that its hard to read.

Meh, not a lot of excitement in this issue. It looks good at least. Rey had a decent moment or two.

Meh, this one was a bit difficult to follow at times. I like the design of the prison, but I could never really get a grasp on what was going on.

This series ended up being a chore to get through. Its one of the more forgettable Star Wars miniseries in recent memory.

I'm still very turned off by the art as the characters still look absolutely nothing like the characters from the movie. Han Solo is probably the best drawn character and he still doesn't quite look like himself. This issue covers one of the less eventful parts of the movie but it is a fun read for a hardcore fan.

Meh, the story is kind of boring and it doesn't give the insight to the character that I was hoping to get. If you're a Star Wars comic reader this is probably going to wind up lower on your list.

Not a great ending, the characters weren't memorable at all, the tie ins to the Alphabet Squadron book were very limited. The ending was sort of for this issue, but the rest of the issue seemed to be rushing to that conclusion.

I don't really care for the modern art. I think its nice but it just doesn't suit the Flintstones and it just doesn't feel like the characters I love.

Uncanny Avengers feels like a hero group full of B-list heroes. It's just not on par with the main title. Its just a small stepping stone but there just isn't enough happening to keep my attention in this issue. It seems like they through Deadpool in this issue just to give it more sales. He is not the character that you want him to be in this issue. He sits back and he's not funny. It does seems like a kick off for a big plot that will be unveiled in the next issue but the first installment isn't anything to write home about.

Everyone seems to love this series so far. I'm just not getting into it yet. This issue is billed as a Wonder Woman origin story but I found Steve Trevor's story more interesting.

I think I just need to realize that this book is not for me. The art is exceptional but I'm such a new Wonder Woman reader that a lot of this story is difficult to buy into. I'm not sure if I will continue to read this or not.

I'm looking forward to having this series done and getting Dan Slot back. This arc with the Wraith is getting pretty tired and the whole crime story was never really that interesting. The story is solid. I'm just getting tired of it.

The villains aren't anything special and it seems like this arc has lost me a little bit. I don't need Peter Parker to be the rich leader of a company anymore. It just doesn't feel like him now. I'd like to see some familiar villains make a return in the next couple issues because the collaboration with S.H.I.E.L.D was getting tiring.

Another meh issue. I'm not really into Mister Negative as a villain and the Parker Industries story is starting to get a little tiresome. I'm ready for them to move on here.

Not a great issue. I'm starting to find some holes in this story. Kai should know that Barbara Gordon is Batgirl because it doesn't really make sense that Barbara and Batgirl would be in Tokyo together at the same time.

The humor of the show doesn't really make much sense in the pages of a comic book. A random appearance by Alex Haley would've been a lot funnier in the cartoon or movie. There is really not a whole lot of story here considering its the first issue. I'm a fan of the character so I did get some enjoyment out of it but not like I thought.

If you enjoyed Black Panther and Civil War and are looking to jump on to his books this may not be the best spot. The dialogue is a little elaborate for first time readers and Wakanda is in a bit of a hole to start of this issue. It may become a bit more reader friendly later on but we'll see.

The New Falcon tease on the cover is really not as relevant as you would expect when you read this book. Falcon is not costumed at all in this issue and it's more of a focus on him than it is Sam Wilson. The villain is kind of lame in the issue and outside of the Mad Men joke I found the dialogue to be mediocre. I'm still into this story it just doesn't impress me like some of the other issues have.

Its the best issue yet but it still doesn't feel like Deadpool. Its getting the point where its frustrating. Deadpool is even beginning to notice in the comic that he has lost his edge and I can really see it too. The Mercs for Money is really a cool concept but they spend too much time on these people that I don't care about and not enough time on the titular character, Deadpool.

The Flash is one of DC best characters but the kick off to his New 52 series is not as solid as I hoped. I really didn't find the story to be that exciting. The art was just okay and the story was fine but nothing really happened that was that exciting. Even the reveal at the end was just lacking a little.

Another issue that just didn't catch me like I'd hoped. I don't really like the art. It just feels like rough sketches that are colored in to me and I'm just not catching on to this story at all.

Flash (2011) #3 Jul 15, 2016

The action is this comic is pretty solid. The art has remained consistently good but I really don't care for this Blood Rose character so far and the stakes just didn't feel that high in this issue. Just average.

There is just a little too much going on in this story. The introduction to Riri Williams is probably the best part of this story as there is very little Tony Stark and this doesn't really feel like it could have any impact on the upcoming Civil War II. The art really doesn't suit the issue this time around either.

I was pretty engaged in the first issue of State of Fear. Now this story returns to a concept that seems way too similar to the first arc and that got old quick. I still like most of the Jessica Cruz moments but there is just too much stuff going on that just goes over everyone's heads. I don't really find the fight between Batman and Superman very satisfying either.

The art is probably the best thing about this issue. The dialogue is not exactly fresh but the ending does have a little heart which is not common for the Punisher. The tension has been building and it has to be going somewhere.

The art is fairly similar to the cartoon but the characters are a little misshapen, I thought that Rick was actually Tiny Rick in this issue. Mr Poopybutthole was a character that I wanted to see come back on the show because he was so funny for one episode. The dialogue is slightly awkward but its is fun to see a little spin off story that involves two secondary characters from the show rather than giving Rick and Morty all the attention.

The quality takes a bit of a dive in Issue number 3 of Spidey. I've enjoyed this book to this point but this really doesn't seem to bring anything very new. The issue is pretty much a self contained story that will work for any reader but its just so quick and forgettable. I like the art but the dialogue is really flat and its just the same old Spider-Man story and the villain is really not that interesting this time.

I like the Dameron's story, but other than that I found this to be a bit dull. Mostly just primers for the upcoming series in 2020. I didn't even bother reading the Aphra story because I don't plan on reading that comic.

Entertaining enough, but not much is going on.

Chewbacca's first standalone comic in the new Star Wars canon bears his name but it really doesn't feel like a Chewbacca story. The supporting character really feels more like the main character and Chewie is merely helping her out. The events of this comics don't appear to have a very significant impact on the galaxy either. The story is fun enough but its not an important read so far.

Chewbacca has a little too much dialogue which gets ridiculous after a while because of course no one can understand him (the reader or the characters). I wish that the villain had a little more attention because he is quite a bit more interesting than Chewbaca's young friend Zarro is.

I continue to find this series lukewarm. I feel like it could be so much better. It hasn't done much to show how menacing Vader can be like he has been in some of the Star Wars comics. I'm still not sold on Aphra either. I think she takes up too much attention.

Star Wars: Darth Vader #24 Dec 19, 2016

I think I'm starting to lose some interest in this series. I've been putting off reading this issue for a few weeks. It has a couple of cute funny moments that make it passable though.

The continuing plot thread was never really that interesting to me. Aphra is a character I can often take or leave as well.

Its fine, we know this story and its told a lot better in the film.

The characters still remain pretty faceless. I'm also pretty disappointed by how little this crosses over with the Alphabet squadron book.

This issue is a little confusing for people who aren't familiar with Spidey 2099. There is too much of the future Spider-Man and not enough of the Spider-Man that we know from this comic. There is some interesting stuff here but with characters from two different time frames coming into play it makes things a bit more difficult to take in.

The cast of characters really isn't a interesting grouping. Winter Soldier makes an interesting leader but I don't really care about the other members of the group. I found the dialogue to be a little too heavy throughout the whole book. I didn't really think that tying it in so heavily to Standoff was a great idea either but Jim Zub does a decent job of getting the readers up to date with those events. I don't know how long I'll read this series but it could be worse.

This Action Comic really lives up to the name. Action is pretty much all that is going on in this issue. Its cool to see Luthor and Superman teaming up against a common enemy in Doomsday but it is a quick read because there is so little story there. Solid issue that continues the arc. I can't complain.

This issue is just a little too loopy. It seems like for most of the book we are just tredding water in the same place. Rick Jones obviously has some issues but his dialogue is so crazy that its hard to understand him. The art is still incredible and I'm at least intrigued about Rick Jones, but this could've been better.

This issue is very unconventional as it really reads like a play with illustration on every page. It was cool of Bendis to try and do something a little different but the style got a little tired. I was interested enough in the story although it really doesn't tell a lot about Jessica Jones. The dialogue is well written and the art is good, I just hope they don't make a habit out of doing this style.

This issue was a fairly quick action packed read. There is not a lot of interesting content its mostly just a battle and it even feels a bit rushed. The story finally does bring this group together and they do acknowledge themselves as an Avengers team.

Not a lot happens in this issue outside of some information given about the new version of Wasp. The art is pretty good but this doesn't really become anything more than a introduction issue that doesn't even attempt to set up the arc until the final pages.

This series hasn't been living up to Scott Snyder's reputation with Batman. The qulaity isn't good enough to be paying the extra dollar for 10 more pages. I don't really get where this fits into the continuity. The Two-Face story was interesting but the secondary story just didn't seem that impressive.

This mob story just still feels a little below the Spider-Man character. Why can't we get some more classic villains involved. The fight between Spidey and Black Cat has this minor resolution that doesn't really explain what happened in Issue 18. I know it takes place before, but it just doesn't quite make sense.

This is a little more flat than the first too issues. I enjoy Barbara Gordon a lot as a character but this issue just didn't catch me. I have enjoyed the idea of going off location but it just doesn't work here. The villains seem a little weak.

I'm starting to considering dropping this book. This story has a Black Canary origin mixed in with Oracle story that we got in the last two issues. Black Canary doesn't get enough attention in the main story and the origin doesn't tie in to the present day at all. I like the Black Canary origin, it is very solid but this Oracle story isn't really good enough to keep me coming back.

The story is a little less interesting and there are still just a few element of the classic show that feel like they are missing in this issue. Its a fun read but not a whole lot more than that.

This story was enjoyable enough but it really feels like a bridge story. There isn't really a lot of strong content. I enjoyed it enough but its not the best.

The look into Batman's relationship with Catwoman is interesting but I just didn't think it was quite enough to carry the whole comic. Outside of that letter that is read through the whole book there really isn't anything else worth noting.

Mark Waid has done a very good job with this Black Widow series considering how little dialogue there is but this is the issue where it hits a bit of a snag. The story is progressing but we haven't got a lot from Black Widow to make us care about what happens in this issue. Its still fun but it needs a bit more substance.

It's maybe a pretty good building block for a story but the first issue of Captain America: Sam Wilson just isn't that fun. Its setting up a story that is a little different and may be more interesting further down the line though. I thought there was a lot of goof humor in this issue and the last frame has a different twist that will be interesting to see in the next issue.

Due to the amount of buzz this issue had around it I had the first issue of Captain America: Steve Rogers spoiled almost a week before I got a copy. I really enjoy the art. There are a few too many moments that take away from Cap. I was kind of disappointed that there was not Sam Wilson in this issue after he was on the cover too. The storyline taking place in two different time frames was really interesting though and I wasn't bothered by the big reveal because I am still pretty new to comics. I feel like this storyline could be really interesting if its done right I just hope for a slight improvement for next issue.

Nice idea to return to the noir style story telling. The office in the elevator shaft was a little cartoony though. Not a bad start. I love Soule so I'll probably keep reading and see if it picks up.

Not as good of a starting point for Deathstroke as you may think. A better knowledge of the character will go a long way in this issue. The flashbacks with his kids were the more interesting part of the story to me. The art was really enjoyable which was saved the issue for me.

The Night of the Monster Men story arc was not as good as I had hoped for the first crossover of DC Rebirth. It ran a little too long and was consistently average most of the way through. The confrontation between Huge Strange and Batman was interesting but it took away from the Batman Family trying to defeat the monsters that they had spent the last 6 issues trying to take down. The story was still worth reading but its just not the climax I hoped for.

Finally catching up on this rebirth title. The book really doesn't bring anything that interesting to the table which is a little odd for a first issue. I still have a few issues that I have already purchased that I may get to eventually.

Pretty solid issue. It does take a bit of a deep dive for new readers like myself. I do enjoy the development of the new Green Lantern Duo but the villain made things a bit difficult to comprehend. Still fun and I'll probably learn as I go.

This may be the last issue I read from this series. I enjoy the other Green Lantern title a lot more. There just doesn't seem to be much depth to anything. The real highlight is the art. Hal Jordan specifically is really well drawn.

I'm starting to find some similarities in some these Rebirth one shots. Hal Jordan Green Lantern is a solid book. The art is good and the story is fine but it really has the same plot of the hero struggling to find himself in a time of crisis and finally the crisis ends and he's ready to be a hero again.

There is still nothing really amazing about this book but I find myself really enjoying it. There are some parts of this book that I find kind of dumb but I'm able to look past it and enjoy it. The moments with Lois and Superman are great. There isn't a whole lot of development or anything. Superman going into the core of the Earth is a little silly. The villains are silly. I still like it.

I still enjoy the art. The story still remains fairly unremarkable but entertaining. There is still a huge lack of depth. Including Batman defending a Superman that he doesn't even trust. It assumes rapport between the two. We still hardly know anything. Hopefully the 5th issue will be the end of this story and they can move on with something better.

I don't know why that Bryan Hitch insists on having faceless villains fight the Justice League time and time again. This issue is still fairly enjoyable but I would like to see a true physical presence. The lead up to the next issue is certainly interesting but this book just feels too much like the other stuff that Hitch has done already. There's still a lot of potential. The book certainly isn't bad.

Ms Marvel #1 appears to be an origin story. It seems almost like an attempt at a female Spider-Man with the main character being a young girl in high school. I like that they are trying to appeal to Muslims with this character but it is just a bit too teenager oriented for the first issue. The origin of Ms Marvel was a little weird too but I'm interested enough in seeing where they take it.

I consider the art to be the best part about this book. This issue does give a little more information about the villains and the drug that the Punisher is trying to get off the streets. It seems more like the villains are the main characters and The Punisher only exists to ruin their plan. The cliffhanger was a solid one and I look forward to the next issue just to see how The Punisher reacts.

This series remains good but there its still disappointing because it should be great. I find Deadpool to be way more interesting than Spider-Man is as he seems to be a complete square compared to Deadpool. The moment where Spider-Man meets Deadpool's daughter is a nice moment but this book remains good and not great.

Doctor Doom isn't quite as cool in his square off against Spider-Man for reasons I won't spoil. Really the best part of this book is a moment that Spider-Man has with a young kid. I think I would rather these books take a arc formula rather than a "one and done" thing like Stan Lee used to do.

Seeing the Green Goblin fight Spider-Man should always be a treat but it isn't as much as I'd hoped this time around. The fight they have falls fairly flat are there isn't a whole lot of conflict between the two. Also Spider-Man "Green Beans" nickname for the goblin is totally cringe worthy. Robbie Thompson can do better than that.

One of the weakest issues in recent memory. The race across the Star Destroyer was really stupid if you ask me, but it was at least entertaining. The stuff between Shana and Luke is interesting enough and there are some decent moments around the ridiculous race. Seems more like connecting tissue than an issue full on content. We may get what we are looking for in the next issue.

This was an excellent story at the start when it focused a little more on Yoda but when Jason Aaron started to weave Luke into the story too it lost me a little bit. There are elements of this issue that are quite interesting but it is just a little too vague for my liking. I'm really looking forward to the upcoming crossover though.

I don't know if I was missing something but I had no idea that the character in this issue was Finn. I just thought it was another black stormtrooper because it didn't really look like Finn. Again these books are for kids. They are fun, they are cute and they don't get too invasive with canon. I'll likely continue to read them.

There isn't much more insight into Rose's character, but it is cool to learn a little more about her now that we've seen The Last Jedi. Its also interesting to see young Anakin again, which is something I wasn't sure if we would ever see again. The lessons are a little on the nose and typical, but its a kids comic and it has its audience. Still quite enjoyable.

As most people probably did. I preferred the IG-88 story to the C-3P0 and R2 one. This issue keeps it simple. There isn't much going on. Fun for kids, not much else.

I liked the animation style for the Resistance story. It really resembled the show. The issue is more of what you've come to expect from the series.

Two enjoyable, but low stakes stories. The Han Solo story is almost identical to a scene in Solo, but a few years later. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

I think the first story actually comes from a proposed scene from the Last Jedi if I remember correctly. I liked it more than the second part.

Totally fine, both take place in the era after The Last Jedi, so its nice to see that part of the story filled in.

Its an upgrade from the last issue. Its quite a bit more action packed. It feels a bit more like the classic Chewie from the movies. Gerry Dugan added a little more information to the villain as well which was good. Its still only a small adventure but worth reading for a Star Wars fan.

This is the most action packed issue yet, but I feel like this story could have ended here but they chose to extend it to the final issue.

Chewbacca and Zarro come into the contact with the Empire in this issue. I would've liked to have seen a appearance from a familiar character but it never happened. The ending just doesn't quite have the significant ending that it could have had. The Chewie comic was fine, consistently fine.

The story in this issue is fairly contained and by the end of it I felt like this issue would hardly have an effect of what was to come. It may be a little unnecessary but Vader is still very imposing despite his recent failure after the explosion of the death star.

Issue 3 feels like yet another bridge issue that uses one small premise to drag out the length of the issue. The only thing that really happens is the first appearance of Aphra and her homicidal droids. Vader's role is as a supporting character.

I find myself enjoying this series but not as much as I want to. Each issue hooks me enough to try the next one. Vader returning to Tatooine is an interesting plot point now that he has realized that the boy who destroyed the Death Star wars actually his son. Really outside of that I found this book to be just okay. The art's good.

A little too much dialogue and not enough action. The ending is a pretty cool reveal as this arc should come to a fierce close but this issue is the calm before the storm.

I found the battle between Vader and Morit that was teased on the cover to be a bit of a disappointment, but the reveal in the final few frames is certainly interesting information. Triple 0 was even a bit of a disappointment this time around and he's been on the top of his game for al long time now.

7.0
Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #6 Apr 19, 2017

Vader's role in this issue is a lot smaller than the cover teases. It seems like this issue is more of a filler for the next issue just to be able to fill a trade paperback. Nothing really special goes on here but there could be some good moments in the next book.

This series is still probably my least favorite of the ongoing series. Maybe the start of a new arc will help me gain my bearings again.

Not a bad start. I always do sort of struggle to catch on to new characters in a comic. I don't really intend to play the game so I may not be the proper audience for this book anyway.

It takes me a long time to get adjusted to characters I don't know. This was okay.

It doesn't give me the solid character moments that I found in the first comic. This is primarily an action story. I've seen other people saying the art isn't up to satisfaction but I can tolerate it.

It was a pretty meh issue until the last few page which got me excited again. Most of the story is just on the surface and it didn't really do anything to stick beyond the last few moments.

I found this issue to be a little cheesy in spots. The writing may be a little too convenient too. Its not exactly the end to the arc I was expecting. There are a few interesting tidbits of information for people who like to follow the full Star Wars canon.

This comic is forced to end the story and doesn't really have enough time to sprinkle new information in like they had been able to in other issue. Still an entertaining read but we all know how it ends.

Pretty standard issue that follows the story of the movie quite closely.

Good sequence that plays out mostly in the same way it did in the film.

Mostly what you expect, but it was fun in the movie and it was fun here.

It wasn't really my favorite part of the book and the visual element didn't really compliment this part of the story much either. Its good, but not as readable as the opening parts of the story.

Another issue that is mostly action oriented. This issue feels extra short compared to the last two. I was really interested by the last issue when General Zod got involved but this is just a physical confrontation there isn't much depth to anything. The Katana origin is really short too as the other two origin stories were but it does give some much needed info to a character that does not say much.

The origin story of the new character Hack is better than the main issue. I found the first story to be a little flat. Its kind of the lull between story arcs the ending of the main story is a little out of left field too but it was still interesting enough to bring me back for the next issue.

There is nothing that "special" about this issue. It really doesn't have a real significant story. Its just interesting enough to keep your attention and the dynamic with most of the characters in solid. Some of the dialogue is really dumb and can sometime make this book feel like its written for little kids. Its fun but you're not really missing anything if you skip it.

Superior Spider-Man takes the character in a whole different direction. Otto Octavius is now inside the body of Peter Parker. The art is fine, the story was fine. The main issue I had with it is the differences in the Spider-Man character. He uses dialogue that Octavius uses and it just doesn't work for me yet. I'm sure it'll grow on me. I just miss my old Spidey.

This issue is a tie in to Age of Ultron. It hardly effects the regular Superior Spider-Man story. I chose to read it even though I haven't read Age of Ultron. It does have some good development from Otto Octavius/Spider-Man but its not a great issue. Its just good.

The meeting of Superior Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2099 was a bit of a let down. It basically spent the whole issue building it up. There is not a lot of action but the story did a good job setting up what will likely come with this meet of the two Spideys.

This is not as good as the excellent issue number 2. The Eradicator did prove to be an interesting villain as you can understand its point of view but I'm just not sold on this yet. The art was great though.

This issues serves mostly as a prologue as many of the Rebirth books do. Its not that easy to jump into this book without reading the new 52 title.

Not very interesting until you get to the final few pages which are very interesting. It took me a while to realize that this issue occurred before the first one and I was quite shocked by the tie in to issue 1.

This isn't a bad story. I just find it to be going around in circles over and over again. The characters are in a bit of a daze after Luke Cage disappears and no one has any way of explaining his disappearance. There really isn't much advancement.

The dialogue is a little corny at first but it does improve. An X-Men comic that is devoted almost entirely to villains/anti-heroes is a little different. Magneto definitely stood out among the rest. The ending was pretty cool but it just didn't quite have the substance to be great.

This book is just good enough to keep me coming back. I really liked the Sabertooth and Monet stuff. The rest was just fine. The ending was really solid. I may have to read the next issue.

The interactions between Sabretooth and Logan are somewhat interesting. There is even a bit of comedy in the mix. The new Weapon X program moments are what really drag this book down in my opinion.

I don't know Wonder Woman as much as I know some of the other DC characters. This issue kind of has two stories going on in it and Wonder Woman has two stories going on in her mind. Its hard to explain and it probably the most difficult Rebirth story to understand so far. Although I haven't read The Flash yet. The art remains really cool. Liam Sharp really knows how to draw Wonder Woman. This is a solid book but I'm hoping that I like the Wonder Woman: Year One story more when it comes out in another 3 weeks.

Wonder Woman Rebirth seems like a pretty good starting point for new readers. I don't really know what to think of the two opposing stories. I felt like Greg Rucka was really trying to be me over the head with this "the story is changing" stuff. The art is pretty good though and its a pretty solid start. I'm not 100% on board but I'll give this series a few more chances to hook me.

I really didn't care for the villains motivations in this comic. The whole "the bad guys are good guys now" storyline has been recycled for multiple characters at this point. Jean Grey really stands out in this issue as she has in the earlier book. Still enjoyable but there is room for improvement.

I know that X-Men First Class is an attempt to modernize the original stories from the 1960's for a new audience and it does a solid job of bringing back the original team. The whole issue is told from the point of view of Iceman who is the youngest of the team and adds a lot of fun as the narrator. I felt like this first issue served as too strong of a tribute to the old comics because there were a few times where the dialogue was very corny. Professor X was done fairly well though and this would serve as a good introduction to the original X-Men without going back too far. I just hope it improves a bit.

The corny dialogue is fixed and kept to a minimum after the last issue but I didn't think this resolution was that great. Superman kind of remembers this way to defeat Doomsday that he could've discovered a few issues back. There are some pretty solid dramatic character moments including a small conversation between Lex Luthor and Superman that provides some motivation for him becoming a costumed super hero.

I hope this isn't a story that goes on for too long but it is pretty solid. It makes sense that Lois should get a little more attention for a little while so her character can get reestablished in this universe. Not quite enough Superman for my taste.

The art is still really cool but the content of this issue feels a little bit like filler. There is a good final twist that caught me but this issue does lull a little bit at spots.

The conflict between the Avengers in issue 5 feels very rushed. There is a lot of conflict that pops up almost out of no where. The actual fighting is solid but this issue is nothing to write home about. Its just an enjoyable read for the fans of this title.

I'm not a fan of Marvel's over usage of crossovers. There are some fun moments but I don't find the ending to make any sense and I'm not interested in reading Uncanny Avengers (the weaker Avenger title) in order to hear the next step.

All Star Batman is a large issue with 2 stories. Both of them are solid but not excellent. The dialogue between Batman and Harvey Dent was probably the stand out of the book as a whole. Scott Snyder knows Batman and I was expecting a little more from his first issue considering he maybe has a little more control over the character this time.

Kamala Khan is one of my favorite characters in all of comics so I am always interested when she is featured in a book. This comic was not as cool as I'd hoped it'd be as the issue cuts away from a Peter Parker/ Spider-Man story to a new story that explains what is to come in Spider-Verse. I've heard good things about this story line so hopefully it can strengthen as it goes.

This book feels more like a Watanabe book than a Spider-Man book. This may have something to do with Dan Slott taking some time to better set up Parker Industries. The book is interesting enough it just feels like a B level book. A little below Spider-Man.

The score for this issue would've been lower had it not been for the Black Cat story that its catching my attention more as it goes. The focus on Parker Industries has been kind of boring. None of the conflict in this book feels that significant. Its just Peter Parker stuck in another situation where he can't change into Spider-Man without anyone seeing him.

Hopefully this is the end of the Parker Industries stuff for a little while. This book is not exactly the end of this series but it is the end of this story and its fun but its not the conclusion that you want. There is a great moment between Spider-Man and Aunt May and this Black Cat story which hasn't been that believable finally ends.

The cover promised more than the book gave me. The ending is good enough but not as cool as you would expect for a finale of this series. This whole arc was starting to wear on me. Lets more on to a new story with some more classic Spider-Man. Lets get Slott back in here.

I must say that its a little different to see Spider-Man using all this fancy tech and Peter Parker being a Tony Stark like character is very unfamiliar to me but teaming Spider-Man up with Prowler is interesting. Their dialogue is probably the best part about this book.

Not as interesting as the first issue but its still a nice look into the Peter Parker that we kind of want but never really get. The intro to Regent is solid and hopefully it will kick off some big drama in the next couple of issues.

Regent finally shows himself off as a force. We get to see a same of Annie May's power and there is an appearance from a surviving group of heroes under the Avenger name but other than that this is a bit of a lukewarm issue. Its kind of the calm before the storm.

I didn't quite enjoy this issue as much as I enjoyed the first arc. There are definitely some great moments scattered in here though. I'm still not sold on N.E.M.O. I'm not sure that I find them that interesting.

This new villain will probably serve as a pretty strong threat to Aquaman and his crew but that story didn't really hit with me in this first issue of the arc. I was more interested in the story with Mera.

This book has no Aquaman in it outside of some visions/flashbacks/etc. This is really a Mera story and I really enjoy that character. I found the first half to be a bit weaker than the second but it does set up some cool mythology for Atlantis. This prophecy will almost certainly be ignored and lead to a big disaster.

The X-Men continue to be pried apart by the Hellfire club but this issue is not as clear to follow because the heroes are acting so out of character because of their manipulation. Its one of the weaker issues Whedon's written so far. The art still remains awesome though.

The interactions between the Birds of Prey are the reason that you would buy this book. The appearances from some big Batman characters also help. The story is just engaging enough to be enjoyable. A fun read for anyone who has followed the series.

Batman's character was pretty lame throughout this book as all he did was recite the same lines throughout the comic. I'm not that familiar with the Batman continuity so I wasn't sure who the narrator was for most of the comic but once I caught on everything started to make sense. This issue feels more like connecting tissue than an issue filled with important content. Hopefully it will improve with the next issue.

The battle between Batman and Bane never really reaches the level it could have. There isn't anything particularly wrong with the issue it just doesn't make the impact it should. I found this arc to take a bit a drop. Hopefully King can get it under control in the next arc.

This comic does not appear to be a breezy read. The writing is going to make you work a bit. I enjoyed this more than the first issue but this is still not a great starting point for someone who is unfamiliar with the characters. Really great art again too.

Its lacking a little in the action department but issue 4 does push the story along a little farther with a pretty cool twist at the end. The Cap Wolf story arc continues it just doesn't reach the entertainment value that the last issue had.

I haven't read every Standoff tie in so this issue does a pretty good job of getting the reader up to date with what has happened so far. Steve Roger's has returned to his young age once again, but they don't really give him or Sam Wilson enough time to shine. They focus too much on the group of villains outside of a cool moment between Bucky, Sam and Steve. It does serve as a pretty solid set up to what will likely come in the finale of Standoff.

At first I found this issue to be a bit of a mess because time frame that this issue is set in isn't explained very well but eventually it all comes together. I think they are explaining the Hydra Cap event too quickly. It would've been nice to have this unfold a couple issues down the road.

There isn't a lot of strength to the reasoning that these characters get together in the first place. There is also no Scott Summers in this comic at all, but there are some good character moments and the story takes a darker turn than you would expect considering this is a book aimed at younger audiences. There is some potential here.

Deadpool and Cable's new team up looks like it will have some promise. Deadpool is done well, it feels like the right character and there are a few character that appear that we often associate with Deadpool. Cable's role stays minor for this issue and you'll see why if you read it. Not a bad issue considering I got it for free.

The idea of Deadpool and Sabretooth squaring off in a battle sounds fairly fun to me. This issue mostly contains Deadpool trying to find Victor Creed and Sabretooth doesn't really appear until the last few pages. This is a true starting point for this arc as all the fun should really be coming in the upcoming issues.

The flashback was definitely necessary, but there wasn't as much conflict in this issue as I expected. Its seems like Sabretooth is getting more attention than Deadpool in this issue. Hopefully things will get fully underway next issue.

This battle is interesting but it still just can't get to the level that the title promises. I like the art and the lettering to this book a lot but it still just feels like a quick and breezy read with not a lot for memorable moments. The motorcycle chase was awesome though. It just that this conflict just doesn't seem to gain much depth.

I thought the Hal Jordan Rebith issue was similar to a lot of the earlier Rebirth titles but it doesn't slightly make up for it when the classic villain Sinestro returns for the first arc which is something that most books have not done so far. The story appears to be building up a huge conflict with the Green Lantern Corps and the Sinestro Corps. Could be fun.

Batman's on the cover but not in the book. Strike 1 Harley Quinn. This book didn't grab me like most of the other Rebirth titles have. It takes a few frames to explain her origin pretty quickly. I like the zombie villain but I'm not a huge fan of the supporting characters so far. They may grow on me.

I really don't care for Maleev's art style in this book. It feels like they are trying to make this book like Alias. The content of the book was very interesting though. Not much action, there is very little of Tony Stark in an Iron Man suit and the majority of the content is a flashback.

Invincible Iron Man #1 is not very action packed but it does give a very good look into the mind of Tony Stark and it does serves as a great jumping on point for a new reader. The character is obviously very inspired by Robert Downey Jr's portrayal of the character in the MCU. Bendis' writing is strong and the art is solid. I'm sure the fun will come.

Rhodes is the only guy who gets any action this issue. Tony and Doctor Doom have another long chat but this one isn't as good as the one back in issue 2. There is some solid quipping here and there and the issue just ends up being solid overall. The change of artists is really obvious though and not in a good way.

Bendis shows once again that he knows how to write for Tony Stark. This battle appears to be a pretty tough situation for Stark, Rhodes and Spider-Man. I'm interested to see if they are ever going to get out of it. Bendis takes a simple and youthful take on Spider-Man that is fine but doesn't exactly match up with the character right now.

I thought the art got a major upgrade in this issue but the story didn't. It feels like the bulk of the issue doesn't even have Iron Fist involved. The battle at the end is pretty cool but more Danny Rand the better.

This feels almost like a pilot episode for a TV show in some ways. It may move a little too quickly but the art does a good job of crating a version of John Wick that definitely resembles Keanu Reeves. I hope that they slow the pace down a little bit in the coming issues. I'm not certain if I will continue with this book or not.

We may finally have a real villain in this story although it is only teased. The conflict between the Justice League is more than enough to make this book entertaining with. The Batman detective elements are a little quick though.

Wolverine appears in this issue of Ms Marvel but he can't redeem it from being one of the weaker issues so far. This issue offers the best look at the villain (Thomas Edison)so far but its not quite as engaging as the past issues. The artist was switched up as well and its pretty noticeable.

Takes a bit of a dip after a really good last issue. It feels like this story isn't really connecting that well anymore. There are some moments that are memorable though. Hopefully this next issue can return from good to great.

I found this issue to be slightly confusing but it did make up for it by being pretty funny. The art has been consistently awesome but they seem to be saving the good storylines for the show. I can't blame them for that.

Star Wars #7 is a cool look into the life of Ben Kenobi while he was hidden away in exile. I'm glad that they have added this to the new canon but only one issue involving the character just doesn't seem like enough. It would be really cool to see a new Star Wars Kenobi series set during this time frame.

I didn't find the mountain monster to work as well as I thought it should. Yoda doesn't really have the great character moments that he had earlier on in the arc. I did really enjoy the reveal at the end. I just hope that we aren't done with Yoda yet.

This is for kids. Sometimes I have to remind myself that. Fun enough for a quick read. At the end of it all it doesn't mean much, may teach some lessons to a young kid.

Much like the last issue I enjoyed Han's side of the story more.

It could be possible that a prequel renaissance is coming. Padme and Anakin teaming up is a nice treat as is the second story which features a deep cut character.

Second story was miles better than the first. Nothing wrong with the first story, but there isn't much to it.

I'm not a Jar Jar hater, but reading his dialogue is sort of a chore for me. I enjoyed the second story more than the first.

A fun issue if you like some good battle droid action. I liked the first story more than the second, but the art was excellent in both.

Both stories are quite thin, but both are admittedly enjoyable.

Decent end. I was more interested in the little short stories than I was the main story that covered this series. Not a bad little ending though and Vader looked pretty cool.

I don't really care for the art and this story didn't really require a standalone comic but there are a few moments in this book that provide some interesting information for fans of Star Wars. C-3P0 is out in front as he should be and there are a few moments of drama that partially work. I'm glad I read this as a Star Wars fan, but its not essential.

Not as good as the standalones, which are already pretty short to begin with, but these stories are even more condensed. I'd say that the Ventress one is the best one.

Darth Vader continues to press on his mission to find some of the Emperor's secrets. It is primarily an action issue with some pretty cool reveals.

Interesting, still not on level I hoped this comic would be at. I'm hoping the ending to this arc will end with the intensity I want from Darth Vader at the peak of his power.

This is a fairly solid finale to a fairly solid arc. The development of Trios reaches its climax and you can tell that she has tried to craft herself in Vader's image. The betrayal that comes at Vader's expense doesn't have the significance that it should have because the characters involved don't have enough development.

This is a pretty solid comic. I like that Aphra's father is now included and their are some flashbacks that add more backstory to the character. There are some pretty great character moments in here too. Triple 0 and BT-1 are still as awesome as ever.

There is some decent action in this issue but there is a fairly limited amount of content. The book is an abnormally quick read. BT-1 and Triple 0 cover the comic relief once again and there is a fairly interesting ending but everything that brought us there was fine.

The Doctor Aphra has an advantage over the Star Wars books because of the art. This brings an end to Screaming Citadel and it was fine. A solid ending. There are a few attempts at humor that really don't work though. I'm glad that both series are moving on though.

I enjoyed this issue mostly because it finally showcases the moment that we all knew was coming. This book is completely enjoyable but I just don't seem to care as much about it as I do in the other series'

Features some deeper characters that don't always get explored. The reveal at the end may mean that we have more in store for the main story.

The art is still very much a highlight of this comic. I found it to have a bit less excitement though. We did get an introduction to a character that will probably have a significant role in the final two issues and there are a few new reveals that should set up a pretty interesting conclusion.

Its cool to see an issue take place during the same timeline as Rebels, but there really isn't a whole lot of interesting stuff here considering all the great build up they had in the first 5 issues. Kanan's inside struggle is more entertaining than his outside struggle this time around.

Lando's cockiness might be getting a little out of hand. Its cool to see him show some leadership though.

Looks like this fuel arc is only going to last for two issues which is fine. The art still remains top notch and Poe is showing all his badass qualities. I'm not sure how engaged I am with this new villain though.

This is a surprisingly interesting adaptation. Its miles better than the recent adaptation for The Force Awakens. Rogue One issue 1 brings a decent amount of new material that adds to the characters that we see in the film. There is a lot of stuff that appears in the film that is cut from the comic but the new information makes up for what they have cut. The art is a little disappointing though. Especially Tarkin and Krennic, who don't look anything like themselves.

7.5
Star Wars: Solo Adaptation #6 Apr 30, 2019

The short backstory at the start of the issue was the best thing about it. Mostly action besides.

This particular issue adds basically nothing that we didn't already see in the film, but its this one of my favorite parts of the movie and it still is great to explore in comic form.

Issue number 11 is a start to a new arc of the Superior Spider-Man and it just doesn't have the depth that the other stories have had to date. It appears to be more of an action packed story. More will certainly develop in the next 2 issues but the tensions may rise later.

This issue feels like more of the same since the last issue. Its mostly just action scenes without a lot of emotion behind it but it is fun. Its cool to see J Jonah Jameson be a bit of a hero by teaming up with Spider-Man. Its another solid issue but it just doesn't reach the heights it could with a little more depth.

I didn't really care for the story telling from a civilian's point of view. There wasn't really enough development to make me care about that character and they just kind of forget him at the end of the comic. Spider-Man really feels like a secondary character as Kingpin and the Hobgoblin get more attention.

Otto Octavius's Spider-Man seems to be taking a bit of back seat after the last few issues and the characters that are taking up all the attention are just his B-list villains. The Green Goblin has been teased and teased to death in this series so it'd be great if he finally had a confrontation with Spidey. Hobgoblin is fine but he's getting too much attention. This Hobgoblin battle is entertaining but it seems like it is just a way to pass time. There is nothing important there.

This issue is a little unorthodox. There were a few things that weren't quite clear to me as a causal comic book fan but the heart is still there. There are a few throw away characters in there that seem fairly useless though.

The change of artists is a bit disappointing this time around and the story starts off an arc that is a bit confusing to start but there are still lots of great Marvel alumni making appearances to add to the mystery.

Vision is a very different story. It feels a lot like the Incredibles. Its an effort to humanize superheroes but its also humanizing robots. This is not particularly action packed but I'm sure there will be some people up in arms about the existence of a Vision family in no time.

A-Force seems very similar to the All New All Different Avengers first issue only with all females. The story is composed of a few characters that will eventually make up the team coming into contact for the first time. Singularity seems to know all the other characters but none of them know her and I'm interested to find out seeing that I have not read the previous volume.

The first issue of the Detective Comics Rebirth is a pretty solid issue. It starts a bit of mystery and a conflict between the classic rivals in Superman and Lex Luthor. I'm interested to see where it goes ass there is a pretty cool final reveal.

The art is the real stand out of the issue. It caught my eye more than any other element of the book. Tyler Kirkman really does a great version of Wonder Woman. Obviously the pairing of Wonder Woman and Superman is solid but there is still a bit of substance that is missing from this series so far as its been almost all action to this point.

Lois Lane is the focal point of this story for two issues in a row. The art continues to really impress me as a very optimistic story. There is some interesting depth to Lois Lane that we don't always get in this book and its nice to see her back where she feels important.

The cover probably isn't the best choice for representation of this story. Superman and Lex Luthor don't exactly team up here. They don't even interact at all. There are two separate conversations between Luthor and Lois Lane and Superman and Superboy that make this issue very worthy of a read.

This book wraps up the arc and the art is amazing once again but the story doesn't have the amazing dialogue that it has had in other issues. Another major Marvel character makes an appearance as well in what is the most interesting part of the book.

Its still a great book but not as good as a lot of the other issues have been. The art and dialogue are still very good as they pretty much always are but this issue just doesn't quite feel like I am watching a film unfold before my eyes like most of this series has.

Mark Waid set up some pretty good action and altercations between characters in the first issue. Issue 2 is mostly on the same level. The establishment of this new Avengers team does seem like it is going to happen very quickly but the buildup has been good so far.

This issue mostly feels like its own stand alone story. The art on the cover is hardly a significant part of the story. A new villain is basically fought and defeated in this new issue. I do enjoy the interactions of this new Avenger team and I have consistently had fun with their issues so far.

Another pretty entertaining Avengers story. Hopefully this finishes the weak Nova and Ms. Marvel feud and we also see what the issue has been with the Vision over the past couple of books. I still enjoy the art and showdown is pretty cool to watch unfold. Its no where near the best Marvel series right now but I continue to enjoy it on a consistent basis.

The conflict between Baron Zemo and Sam Wilson's Captain America didn't wrap up exactly like I planned it would. This issue doesn't quite hold up to the others that we have already gotten. This issue would've been a great opportunity to close the arc but instead it goes for one issue too long.

I don't really like the though of a Spider-Man: Year One story mostly because people already knew the stories behind Spidey's origin but this issue was a lot more enjoyable than I though. Uncle Ben's death was left out of it and Peter is already Spider-Man he just isn't really sure where he wants to go with his powers. There are still a lot familiar notes though. Its a fun issue, might be a little too same ole same old for some fans that really know the character.

These decimal issues have been pretty good to start out. Dan Slott once again proves that he is a true Spider-Man fans as both he and the artist Ramon K. Perez deliver another good throwback to the old Stan Lee/Jack Kirby Spidey stories. The battles in these books continue to lack a little depth. These fights between Spider-Man and Clash are really not on a high level.

The wrap up is not as good as the climax but Issue 6 is still a good read for fans of Spider-Man. I continue to be very interested in Cindy Moon AKA Silk. I do think that they may be dragging the Black Cat story out a little too long now and its getting tired. I hope they give her a break after this arc.

This book is not quite as clear with who is which Spider-Man. Sometimes I'm unsure if I'm seeing the 616 Peter Parker or not. There is still a lot going on in this book but its still very interesting. The reveal at the end is incredibly huge too. Its so big I don't believe that it can be true.

The big reveal of Uncle Ben being alive is dialed back a bit as we find out that he is from another world as I expected. It is cool to see a version of the character that is a little different than the one we know. Silk and Spider-Gwen get a few cool moments in this book while Peter Parker picks his jaw of the floor and really doesn't do much.

The book picks right up where Peter Parker left off before Spider-Verse and there isn't a whole lot of memorable Spider-Man moments but it moves Peter Parker's story forward. It looks like Black Cat may be getting even more attention coming as substories the main issue.

This is a pretty good first issue although this is not a jumping on point for new readers. This Spider-Man and Peter Parker is completely different from the one casual fans are familiar with. It took me a little while to get used to where Peter Parker is now but outside of that the issue was very solid. I'm not sure about what I think of a second Spider-Man but we'll just have to see where Slott takes it. I didn't read all the back up issues, there wasn't enough content in each of these stories to make them worth reading anyway.

The team up with Johnny Storm is what makes this a fairly solid issue. Peter Parker buying the Baxter Building is a cool idea and its nice to see that they will keep that structure in the Marvel family without the Fantastic Four around. The fight was a little underwhelming but the ending was pretty interesting.

Seeing the Parker family team up to fight Regent was a pretty good way to end this mini series. Regent was a fairly solid villain in the end and it was nice to see him finally go down for the greater good. This was an interesting project and I'm glad it was done.

It mix of action and mystery. These terrifying and mysterious creatures have appeared and Aquaman leans on an ally/enemy in order to learn more about the underwater creatures and where they came from. None of the characters main villains appear to be involved but the book remains a cool mystery.

Issue 5 is mostly an action issue. This arc is lasting a little longer than it needs to. Mera and Arthur are not exactly seeing eye to eye. Their conflict makes things interesting. The N.E.M.O stuff didn't really feel that necessary this time but we'll see where it goes from here.

This is a pretty good issue of Aquaman being Aquaman. Its nice to see some the motivation for Aquaman to protect everybody even though he continues to struggle between land and Atlantis. He also has a dilemma with the Justice League after a confrontation with Superman a few issues back.

Issue #5 is fine but it seems like it's goal was to just connect the tissue. There aren't a lot of pivotal moments aside from an interesting reveal at the end.

Issue #6 is the wrap up of this particular arc. It didn't have a real black or white ending but the story was a pretty solid one overall. It has that fun aspect that is involved in most Joss Whedon projects and it shows that there may be some betrayal coming amoung some of the X-Men.

The fight against the mutant cure appears to be put on hold in a new arc from Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men. Wing must adjust to his life without his mutant powers while the X-Men fight a new threat with another recognizable Marvel team.

The X-Men have their finally showdown with Danger in Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-Men #12. The art once again stands out with Kitty Pryde and Professor X really standing out among the other characters. The story ends with some infighting as new subplots are revealed.

This whole issue is mostly composed of a conflict between Cyclops and Emma Frost who begins to make him doubt himself as the leader of the X-Men. There is not much action but its still a solid issue.

Astonishing X-Men # 21 makes the story on the Breakworld a little bit more confusing. So much so tha even a character involved feels confused but there is still some good interactions with the characters we love. It just one of the weaker issues of the Unstoppable arc so far.

Astonishing X-Men (2004) #24 Jun 3, 2016

The kickoff to the new Batgirl series appears to be solid so far. The only things I've heard that are disappointing is the art and I'm not bothered by it. The story is just a stepping stone but I'll give the new comic a try.

It does do a pretty good job of capturing the old show but it could still do better in my opinion. The art doesn't quite capture the feel in this issue but it may grow on me. The Riddler was not my favorite villain in the show either. I can't wait to see an Caesar Romero Joker in these comics.

Batman 66 appears to be forming more of an arc than I expected. The art is good but it just doesn't quite capture the tone of the show that it could. The action scenes do it justice though. The dialogue feels just like the show did. Its just a fun quick read.

I didn't find the twist to completely blow me away like some other readers may have. Obviously the dialogue between Batman and the villain is pretty solid though. It will almost certainly bring the story to a good end.

I'm glad we got a little more insight to Gotham and Gotham girl in this issue as they seem to be a major part of this series right now. There is not a whole lot of action going on right now but I like that these new heroes are trying to replicate Batman's ability to protect the city. I think there is some pretty significant drama coming soon though.

There may not quite be enough Batman but I really enjoyed this issue. Gotham Girl has gone completely insane since the death of her brother. I'm interested to she if she and Batman will remain allies. The art remains to be a high point of this title. Hopefully the end of this arc will result in a bit more attention for Batman.

I don't think its quite as good as Kings first arc on Batman but its a strong kickoff to the Night of the Monster Men kick off. There were a lot of hints towards this story in the first Batman arc and it builds on both Batman's standalone story and detective comics. There is a high ceiling for this story. Especially when we find out who's involved.

There are some pretty cool moments in this issue that show Batman's group's ability to team up and help each other. Duke Thomas is probably the stand out of the issue. Seeing Batman get a boost from Clayface was a pretty cool moment as well. This arc should be heading towards a close in the nest few issues.

This book is entertaining enough. Watching Batman and Catwoman team up for dozens of fights across the city is fine but their one final night together is what makes this issue so interesting. I'd expect an interesting twist in the next issue.

Its a solid kick off issue. Its not as approachable to new readers as it could be but Terry's relationship with Bruce Wayne is somewhat explained and there is some interesting plot points in the mix as well. I don't know if I'll follow this book that closely or not but its started well.

This books seems to just serve as a prelude for what will come in the first issue. Its enjoyable but there isn't much of anything special to be had. Most of Batman's allies make an appearance. On to issue 1

Abraham Slam is mostly the focal point of this issue but it just isn't quite the level that I hoped it would be. I like the idea of an outsider coming over for diner with this crazy and unorthodox family but I just didn't find much addition to the characters like the other issues gave. Still a very good comic. Its just not excellent last the past issues.

Mark Waid's new Black Widow comic really kicks off with a bang. The first page gives us our conflict and then the rest of the comic is composed of a high stakes chase. Its a great set up for an arc as they still have so much story to tell but Waid gave us some cool action to get us hooked right off the bat.

It doesn't bring many more answers about why Natasha had a falling out with S.H.I.E.L.D but Black Widow issue 2 piles on some more interesting mystery. I'm not in love with the art but I do find the story fairly intriguing so far.

This is another pretty solid issue. I am pretty convinced by the art of this series and this story is a very paranoid one for our leading lady. I felt like I could've used a little more set up but it looks like everything is in full swing for now.

This new issue really does a great job of giving the new Captain America (Sam Wilson) a different identity from Steve Rogers. Steve Rogers has been brought back to his natural age when he lost his serum but he still played a big role in this issue. There is some cool conflict between Wilson and Rogers, the pair who were once inseparable friends. Wilson doesn't know whether to trust S.H.I.E.L.D or not and this issue is a strong improvement over the first issue.

There might be a little too much political talk but Captain American: Sam Wilson finally gets a better look at who will be the new Falcon and the Cap-Wolf story comes to an end. This issue brings the arc to a solid close after they hit a bit of a snag last time.

I found this book to be a little too long and a little disjointed but the book really serves as a love letter to Steve Rogers. Bucky and Sam are only involved for about the first 10 pages and the rest of the book belongs to Steve Rogers. He gets some moments to reflect on his life which makes sense for a 75th anniversary issue. It ends like we all expect it to end but that doesn't make it any less sweet.

This is a pretty solid wrap up to the Standoff story. Steve Rogers has gotten a lot of attention in the past few issues of this series and Sam Wilson has taken a back seat. Wilson is back in the fron for this issue that focuses on the fallout of the Standoff story but it also gives a more in depth look into what's going on with Sam now that Steve Rogers has returned to his peak form.

Great little action packed issue with a story I haven't seen before. Daredevil is put in a nearly impossible situation and tries to come out clean

Still pretty solid. Tenfingers is starting to look like a fairly interesting villain. I'll stick around for a few more issues.

Its still not as funny as I'd like it to be but I'm more interested in this story as this arc goes on. An appearance from Steve Rogers boosts this issue. Deadpool finally feels like the main character as well. Deadpool is finally having some fun this time.

There were some decent moments between Deadpool and Sabretooth here as well as an interesting appearance by Magneto. There were a few solid jokes in this issue and some good appearances but I didn't find that this arc really lived up to the hype.

Outside of a necessary flashback that describes more motivation for both the villain and Batwoman Issue 938 is most just a few action scenes. I expected this arc to wrap up here but for some reason they decided to keep it going. I've really enjoyed Detective comics to this point but this is the weakest issue yet if you ask me.

Green Arrow's first issue in the New 52 is a strong one in my opinion. It kicks off with some pretty cool action. I like the art a lot. One thing that does bring it down is the dialogue I found it to be a bit corny here and there. It may not be the most thought provoking comic in the work but its fun.

Another pretty solid book. The last twist left the Green Arrow in a pretty bad spot and left to defend himself against an onslaught of villains. The action continues to hit and I continue to remain entertained.

This Rebirth issue doesn't really get caught up in introducing Green Arrow it just starts an easy to read story that can be enjoyed by anyone.

At this point in the Green Lanterns comic Simon Baz has been a focal point of an issue and so has Jessica Cruz. This issue is more about there ability to work together as a team. Their teamwork develops a lot over the course of this issue and it will likely result in a pretty good climax which will probably bring this arc to an end in the next issue.

I think that the Rage arc had gone on long enough. Hopefully this arc will have developed the two new Green Lanterns relationship enough that we don't have to see them fighting anymore every single issue. This book just put a smile on my face as Jessica Cruz is able to overcome a lot of the issues that she has had over this first arc.

I have been consistently satisfied with all the DC Rebirth comics that I have read so far. I'm a new reader so they serve as an awesome jumping on point for me. Green Lanterns doesn't set up the characters as well as some of the other titles. Both Simon Baz and Jessica Cruz don't get enough of a story line on their own before they get thrown together. I still feel intrigued by the pair and I'm interested to see where their team up is headed.

Issue 5 is just a fun throw away issue. I don't think it makes up an essential part of an arc. There is some humor that works and some that doesn't but most of the dialogue is fun to go through. This is a quick read that is certainly enjoyable.

This issue still isn't quite on the level of some of the other stories but I enjoyed it. There is some good dialogue between Mark and his friend William. We get a good set up for a character that could be the first significant villain of this series and there is some more humor injected in there too.

This issue just feels like a day in the life of Tony Stark. There is some action there is some charity work and there is also an appearance from Mary Jane Watson who doesn't get as much time devoted to her as you would expect from the cover. I'm looking forward to what will happen between her and Iron Man though and the continued involvement of Doctor Doom intrigued me too.

This issue gets better as it goes. There are few funny moments when Doctor Strange makes a small appearance. We get to hear more elaboration about the connection between Mary Jane and Tony and the two will almost certainly be working together over the next couple issues. Their moment together at the end of the book is probably my favorite moment in a book that has 3 big interactions between big characters.

Enjoyable start. Its a pretty easy jump on point for people who are fairly unaware of Jena Grey too. I don't know if bringing Phoenix back is a good idea for the long run though. Its already been done a lot of times. The fact that this Jean has to live with something that she really hasn't even done yet is interesting though.

Not as funny or memorable as the first few issues but this is still a pretty fun book. I find the characters on Earth to be more interesting than in space so spending most of the story away from Earth didn't blow me away like the other issues did.

A significant improvement over the Rebirth issue. This book doesn't do much more than set up the conflict that the League will have to face but the art improves a lot as well. There isn't a lot of dialogue between League members but this story could be fun.

This isn't a huge dramatic story from the way this arc has progressed so far and there isn't a lot of insight into each character in the Justice League although Batman gets a bit more depth this time around. I just find this book to be enjoyable. I'm not really sure why. It may get a little more solid as it goes. The ending just did enough to hook me again.

This is definitely a step up from the last few issues of the last arc. Things aren't quite as vague. I do really like the date between Barry Allen and Jessica Cruz. I probably wouldn't enjoy it as much as I would if I didn't read Green Lanterns. Only a few people in the Justice League get any amount of attention in this issue. The ending is shocking and a little out of the blue.

A bit more exposition in this issue makes it a little bit harder to follow. Very cool reveal at the end though.

Another pretty solid effort for Ms Marvel. I like that they have continued to keep this comic in one city and the story has been on a relatively small scale to start out. It's been consistently great so far.

#7 is another solid issue of Ms Marvel. Kamala teams up for Lockjaw for the first time and it looks like he may remain her sidekick for the time being. It pushes the story along fairly well but it is not quite as interesting as some other issues.

This appears to be a one issue story involving an appearance from Loki. It has a Valentines Day theme and it was enjoyable enough but I can't see it becoming a important part of the story within the next issue. It's a fun read for a Loki fan and there is a solid fight scene.

Just adds more depth to characters that are still in very early stages of development. I like that they have introduced characters that may become the classic villains of the Justice League of China and there are some fairly funny moments thrown in there too.

Nightwing does a great job of setting up the voyage Dick Grayson is about to begin while also having some cameos from some of the other members of the Bat family. Nightwing's new mission forces a new partner upon him which takes the story in a very different direction.

Nightwing's dynamic with this new Raptor character has been interesting and his work with the Parliament of Owls has continued to keep me interested. Their relationship is a bit of a wild card and I have no idea where it could go.

The next step of the Night of the Monster Men arc. Nightwing does get a few moments to shine but it is really a group effort in this book. Nightwing gets a chance to do some batman level detective work and we get to see the scariest monster yet. This crossover still has some room to improve but I'm happy so far. The art could be better.

Its probably just slightly better than the other Monster Men issue that came out this week. Nightwing does get the chance to step out front which Batman didn't get to do with his story this week. We get some big reveals and the story heads towards the finale that comes next week in Detective comics. The art is probably the best art of this crossover.

Nightwing and Superman is a team that is often overshadowed but the dynamic between the two characters is a real treat here. The mutual respect that goes without any real conflict just seems so perfect for the group.

Nightwing Rebirth is a nice look into the life of Dick Grayson who now returns to moniker of Nightwing. There are some familiar characters that you love making appearances, but this comic really is only an prologue to what will happen in the coming issues. Nightwing is really to come back in action.

Kirkman is taking his time setting up these characters. There is still a lot more to learn, but I'm still very interested. I continue to love the design of Oblivion.

The art is really well done and the characters and the environments look the exact same that they do on the show. I don't think this comic is as good as the show but its enough to keep me interested because I really like these characters. I'd rather them save the really good stories for the episodes. These comics are just side stories that keep me occupied between episodes.

The ending is probably the most important moment of this Silk series to this point but the story that brought us there was just okay in some spots. Cindy Moon has a few interesting moments but its the ending that really elevates this comic.

Spider-Man/Deadpool plays out like a buddy cop movie. It does tie in a little to Uncanny Avengers. Both characters are portrayed pretty accurately and I look forward to where this book will go. Spider-Man and Deadpool is a math made in heaven.

Issue 2 remains good but it just doesn't quite get to the level that you want from a Spider-Man/Deapool crossover. Deadpool is very well done in this issue but Spider-Man doesn't really feel like himself with Deadpool there cracking all the jokes. The art is pretty great again and the story has a lot of potential. I just think this book could be awesome and it just settles for good.

Spidey serves as a bit of a throwback to the young days of Peter Parker when he was still in school and trying to battle teenage life while also being Spider-Man. The first few pages take a minute to get you up to date with the characters origins (which everyone now knows). The art looks kind of like a cartoon but it also suits the subject matter fairly well. Most of the classic Spider-Man characters are involved. There's an appearance from a classic Spidey villain and its got a lot of great quips from Spider-Man that make it fun. Its not exactly that original but its fun and a cool story to read if you are unfamiliar with the character.

Spidey remains to be a fun issue for the fans of the classic Spider-Man character. You really don't have to worry about continuity. Everyone knows the character and he's very well done. Its just like reading a modern version of the character Stan Lee created. Sandman appears and he's a little one dimensional but it works for what this book is.

A bit less action packed than the last issue, but there are some good character moments from Leia and some cool Luke and Wedge bromance moments

Another worthy Star Wars adventure. I was surprised by the similar story points to the current ongoing Marvel series.

Not a lot of character in this issue, but some good action. I'm not always that interested in the space battles when they aren't on screen, but this is still pretty impressive.

Issue 8 is a return to the main story again for the Star Wars comic. Its sort of the set up for Luke's next adventure. There was a pretty big reveal in issue 6 involving Leia and Han but it still goes unexplained but its still another pretty solid Star Wars adventure.

Doctor Aphra and her murder droids are the two best characters in this comic. Which is fine by me. I still find myself a little disappointed with the artwork on the faces. Otherwise everything is good. I haven't enjoyed this crossover nearly as much as Vader Down but I'm still interested to see how it ends.

Very dialogue heavy. Looks to be laying the framework for an action packed couple of issues. I'd expect the next issue to pick it up.

Still, a lot of groundwork is being laid. Its a beautiful looking issue, but I'm expecting some action soon. I appreciated that Han Solo had a jacket similar to the one he wears in Solo.

Luke's side of the story was definitely the most entertaining in this issue.

It seems like Vader was a little weak in this issue. I know he was supposedly injured, but she should have been able to handle the people who took him on with ease still. The result was a little goofy for the planet, but not a bad end to a decent arc.

Its not as good as the first two annuals but its still an entertaining extended story. Han's character get explored a little bit and his past comes back to bite him. Its certainly nothing essential but still enjoyable overall. Especially if you love a good Han and Leia team up.

This Star Wars adventure series is for kids and Lucasfilm made fans very aware of that when they announced it. The dialogue is very kid friendly but its a nice and long issue that gives some interesting little tidbits that Marvel would've never explored in the other series.

The Han and Chewie one was a lot more fun than the Lando one. Its nice to get a bit of a primer for young Han before the movie comes out and the adventure was worthy of Star Wars. Great book for a young kid.

Nice to see some love for the prequel era characters even if it is in the light and fluffy comic like this.

Too pretty good stories here. One has a very valuable lesson for kids.

The first story is a classic Han and Luke team up. The second story is a little simple, but fairly cute. Easy issue to like.

The first issue was very solid. A family friendly story I've come to like in this series, the second has a good moral, but is maybe a little too kiddie friendly.

Enjoyed seeing Holdo and Leia spend time together while they were young. It just develops their relationship that much more for The Last Jedi. Holdo is a lot more quirky in comics and books than she is in the movie.

The second story is pretty thin, but I'm pretty invested in the Rey story and it seems to be a bit more rooted in canon than the other stuff in the Star Wars Adventure has.

I like the Tales From the Crypt style storytelling a lot more than the first series' method. They picked a great cryptkeeper too. I found this issue to be a bit more scary than I remember the original run being.

Pretty enjoyable kid friendly horror book. It was pretty much what I expected.

This comic continues to give me what I expect. Kid friendly horror.

The Wicker Ewok.

The stories are short, I probably liked the Maz one the best, but I was glad to get some more info on Holdo too.

Gerry Duggan has a good grasp on Beckett. I would've probably enjoyed this if it was made into a full series rather than a one shot. Beckett was my favorite character from Solo and I would've liked to see more from him. I'd love to see an ongoing series.

I'm all for a comic that takes place during the new trilogy era and Captain Phasma appears to be leading right into The Last Jedi as it explains how she gets out of the trash compactor she is thrown into. There isn't a lot of character explanation but Phasma does show that she's not afraid to throw anyone under the bus to keep herself clean.

This issue continues to be interesting. I don't think it has the exploration of character that some fans have hoped but there is one pretty obviously shout out to the Phasma novel that I am currently reading. It details Phasma's drive and confidence in completing the mission that will keep her credibility alive.

The art continues to look really good and there is a nice little flashback for the people who are also reading the Phasma novel. It gives us another good look into how Phasma will use anybody to further herself. We do seem to get a bit away from the main story though.

This issue appears to mostly just transition into a storyline that should be great. The interactions between Darth Maul and this Jedi were really interesting but I wish that they would give some depth into his complete hatred of the Jedi instead of just having him hate them because he was told to.

Nice to see a story based in the prequel era that features the Sith so heavily. The rival with Darth Maul and Count Dooku should be a very entertaining one from here on out. There is decent amount of action. There may actually be too much cool in this comic with Darth Maul and General Greivuous both featured.

The art is what really shines in this issue but Darth Vader is portrayed much like the character we know from the films. He does not have a lot of dialogue and when he does speak you hear James Earl Jones' voice in your head. There isn't a lot of action as this is mostly a kick off and the comic mostly just shows that struggle Vader is having right now. There are a handful of familiar characters as well and that adds to the fun.

I have been a bit skeptical of the Vader comic so far. There has been some good and some bad. I found that those new character kind of distracted me from Vader who should be the main character but now they are growing on me a little bit. I'm enjoying the violent droids, they are one part bad ass one part hilarious.

They give Aphra a bit of a backseat in this issue as her and Vader are no longer collaborating. I really like the addition of Vader's new right hand man as well as I find him to be a very interesting character to this point. He and Vader appear to have a mutual respect.

I found Aphra's story to be fairly interesting in this issue as she is hoping to uncover some information about the whereabouts of Luke Skywalker. I really like the humor that Triple 0 adds to this story as well. I haven't found him to be that cool so far but he really intrigued me this time.

Weakest issue of the crossover which also happens to be the last one. It seems like they could've used another issue to wrap this up a little nicer. I still really enjoy it. I felt like Vader's foe didn't really need to be involved in this story and Luke's capture just didn't feel necessary. Its still a very great story. I just wish it could've resolved itself on a higher note.

A solid start to an arc that may become even more interesting. The art really stands out. There are several full page drawings that really catch your eye. An appearance from Palpatine always gets me excited and it has a direct tie in to the Vader annual which was one of my favorite moments in the series so far. I'm happy.

This doesn't quite feel as significant as it should but this is still a really good issue. I've continued to really enjoy Triple 0 as this comic has gone on and he has made a really good addition to this story.

I'm really impressed with how far Gillen has gone with Aphra and Triple 0. I enjoy reading these characters just about as much as any Star Wars character out there. Vader's involvement in this story is a little less than it was in the past issue but you don't really miss him.

Issue 22 is just another obstacle for Vader to overcome on his way to Cylo. Vader gets another chance to showcase his smarts and his ability. Doctor Aphra takes a bit of a back seat this time around but still a very good issue.

Star Wars: Darth Vader #25 Dec 19, 2016

Still a very good comic, but I would argue that the Stormtrooper part is better than Vader's role. That may be a little odd.

8.0
Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #1 Dec 21, 2016

It takes a little while for this issue to grab its footing, but the second half has a great moment between Aphra and her father. We've been waiting for it for a little while now. The next issue will likely wrap up this arc that has been pretty consistent so far.

Kev Walker is welcomed back as an artist. An interesting story kicks off here. I got a bit of a refresher on the immortal Rur. Which I needed and Aphra and the murder droids are as entertaining as ever. A cool reveal at the end may mean that we're going to get to see one of the classic characters in this comic very soon.

Some more good character moments from Aphra. She shows a rare silver lining in this issue. Gillen continues to deliver on some good humor and an overall fun issue.

This issue gave me the vibe that this was actually going to be the last issue of the series for a little while. It had some finality to it, but the ending assured me that Aphra is not done. There is a decent amount of action. I just hope that Triple 0 and BT won't be gone for too long. They are my favorite part of this series.

Still pretty interesting even though I found the villains side of the story a little more engaging.

We get a character from Rebels in this comic that will certainly have a big role in the canon from now on. This is another adventure worthy of Star Wars with Aphra being Aphra.

Another worthy Star Wars adventure. I like the pairing of Aphra and Hera. Hera serves as the straight man (woman) of the group and its nice to see some of her gaps being filled in following Rebels. This is still not my favorite series, but I continue to enjoy it time and time again.

Its been a few months break for me for this book. I was tiring of it.

Trying to get caught up on this book after a break.

Triple 0 seems to outshine Aphra again in this issue, but they make for an interesting pair since Triple 0 has to keep her alive.

Black Krrsantan finally gets some of the coverage that we've been waiting for. Krrsantan has been detailed as a badass but his back story was avoided until this extended annual issue. Aphra gets some attention as well but Krrsantan is the star of the show. Now lets move on.

Don't really understand why this is called Galaxy's Edge. May be a better idea to set up the new characters that will be a part of the attraction rather than the classic characters. This comic is a fun and pretty traditional Star Wars adventure. I'm pretty happy with it.

The substories inside the big tale are more interesting. Hondo didn't seem to be 100% himself in this one, but the story and character reveals were enough for me.

Not as interesting as the incredible first issue. The characters are still portrayed very well in this comic though and there is still lots of fun to be had with this premise.

I don't really like the way Han looks in this issue, but there is a lot of solid character work. This is the Han Solo we know.

This book covers a lot of ground as Caleb Dune continues to descend into a world of smugglers and thieves. It doesn't really focus on anything until the back half of the issue, but it is an interesting read. The clone trooper that are forced to track Caleb down after failing to kill him is an interesting move considering they used to be allies.

Another pretty decent comic from an enjoyable series. I'm getting a little tired of the "don't call me kid" jokes though. Its starting to get a little excessive. More appearances from famous Star Wars characters and a little more exploration into Kanan's former master.

The majority of this issue take place in the past. It sort of takes away from the task at hand but it did give a lot of insight into what Mace Windu was like as a young child. This isn't my favorite series out there so far, but this is an improvement.

A solid ending to one of the more "meh" series currently running in the Star Wars comics. Mace Windu does continue to remain a fairly interesting character. More so than we were able to see in the films. I'm glad the series is over though.

The Anakin and Palpatine stuff is still the best part of this book by far. I wish we would get little information into Obi Wan as well considering this is a shared series. Obi Wan gets a lot of the attention this time but the story isn't as interesting as the last one outside of a great few frames with Anakin and Palpatine.

Its a little early on in the series for Poe Dameron to be taking the back seat but this issue does a solid job of introducing the new villain which will likely serve as the rival for Poe through most of the next few issues. The art remains the highlight though.

The last issue of Poe Dameron was really hard to take but this story goes in a bit of a different direction with a really interesting new prison location and a few different twists and turns. Poe's search of Lor San Tekka is going to be a long one. The art is still really good and there is a few good moments that add a little more character to the other members of Black Squadron.

There is very little action but this story does have good pacing and progresses the story fairly well. Finally Charles Soule gives BB-8 something to do and he'll probably have a bigger role in the next issues as well.

The backstory on Terex was very necessary at this point. Poe and 3P0 make a very interesting team and its cool to see how much Poe values C-3P0 consider how much he has been taken for granted by other characters in the film. I hope they keep him around for a few more issues.

Poe takes a bit of a backseat this time around but this issue does a very good job of giving more backstory into the villain Terrex and C-3P0 continues to have a sizeable role. Its interesting to see how important C-3P0 really is to Resistance and how well respected he is by Poe and his fellow droid. I'm finding that this Poe Dameron comic is starting to find its comfort zone. Its been consistently good for a while now.

The pairing of Poe Dameron and the two droids continues to work. C-3P0 shows a bit more development since Return of the Jedi. He's definitely braver than he used to be. Poe's dynamic with the droids is still working too. It'll be interested to see what happens when Captain Phasma gets in on the fun next issue.

Still, a good issue, but there isn't as much Poe as I would like this time around. Especially now that the next issue will be the last. I'm very interested to see how this concludes.

This comic didn't give me some of the background information on Cassian that I was hoping to get but it did leave me wanting more. K2 has lots of great jokes and its a good introduction to their friendship. I just wish it was a bigger series.

This adaptation continues to be miles ahead of The Force Awakens' adaptation. It has a few flashback frames that give a little more character to Bodhi Rook and also to the relationship between Saw and Jyn. I hope we can get a little more story on Chirrut and Baze now that they have entered the story as well.

The Rogue One Adaptation continues to give us some little nuggets of information that we weren't fortunate enough to see in the movie. There is a scene here that definitely feels like it was cut from the movie and I'm certain that I heard some of the quotes from one of the early trailers. There are also some visions and flashbacks that give more backstory into the characters.

The Vader scene is no where near as awesome as it was in the film but there are still some cool moments in this book. More flashbacks that give new information to the movie as well. This adaptation is still very much worth reading.

This adaptation continues to add more character that the film lacked. It'll be interesting to see how they portray the ending in the next issue.

Enjoyed the extra Qi'ra material in the first few pages.

Really enjoyed this part of the story in comic book form for some reason.

The story is an interesting one, but at this point the characters just seem to blend together. Still hoping for a bit more from this.

Seemed weird that the Rebels who appeared in this book were mostly just faceless new characters. It would've been good to see a few characters that we knew. Still, a pretty interesting story overall.

Suicide Squad is one of the underrated unsung heroes of DC Rebirth. Some issues have been better than others but the comics have been enjoyable. I still feel like the main story is too short but Zod getting involved adds some surprising humor. The back story is a Harley Quinn story that wasn't quite an origin but we get a character we know well that makes an appearance.

I felt like a lot of this issue was just fairly unnecessary issue that set up a villain only to have him fall at the end without the story being furthered but I was incorrect. The Avengers make a small appearance and there is a pretty dark ending which boosts the whole issue. Spider-Man is about to get himself in big trouble.

8.0
Superior Spider-Man (2013) #19 Jul 14, 2016

Black Cat on the cover wasn't much more than a tease. Her appearance in the book is minor. This issue may not have a lot of action but it is going to effect the life of Peter Parker significantly later on in the story. Mary Jane also tries to move on (again) after trying to avoid Peter.

The Darkest Hour arc is billed as the first meeting between Superior Spider-Man and the new version of Venom (Flash Thompson). I think this is intended to be a 5 issues arc so things don't quite get into full swing in this issue but Spider-Man does not seem to trust this new Venom even though he is no longer a villain.

The Superior Spider-Man is on the ropes liek never before. Another appearance from The Avengers provides some more information about Octavius' hiding in Spidey's body. Peter Parker is also back in the picture but its not real clear how he got there. This issue serves as a prelude to the Goblin storying that has been teased and teased for almost the whole series. Time to get it under way.

The fight between the Green Goblin and the Superior Spider-Man was a long time coming. The Goblin has been hiding in the underground for almost the whole series. I was hoping that the conflict between the two would be the best books of the series. This book is just the kickoff and its solid but it just didn't quite reach my expectations. Green Goblin sees the holes in the Superior Spider-Man while Peter Parker tries once again to get a hold of his body again. Hopefully this can be the start of the best arc in this series as it will also wrap up the story.

This is an interesting comic for the Superman series. There are no high profile villain in this issue and there is a minimal amount of Superman in costumer. It is Clark Kent making an effort to try and be a normal human being from time to time and make an effort to be a cherished member of his community. This is a heart warming cute book that is easily approachable.

Most of this first issue is used to explain what will be happening throughout the comic. Fans of Jessica Jones may be a little taken aback by the mainstream writing style that is a toned down version of the character from Alias but I think there is some potential here. This book provides an interesting version of J Jonah Jameison too and gives us a chance to see The Daily Bugle from the inside.

Issue 8 serves as more of a bridge issue that will just become connecting tissue for the whole arc. Kirkman explores the reveal from the last issue but there really isn't a lot of exciting matter going on outside of some good dialogue and some more information about the new character Tyrese.

This is an interesting and different take on the 3 main DC heroes. It doesn't have a lot of drama its just a fun lighthearted moment for us to see our favorite characters in a situation that we don't always get to see them. Don't expect a lot of super powers.

This book has finally started to build a team with Domino joining the act. Domino is the real stand out here and I think getting her involved could be a great thing for this book. The finale does tease a unorthodox crossover that might just be crazy enough to be interesting.

This is my first introduction to X-Men '92. I didn't watch the show and I didn't read the first volume. I still found the book to be fairly enjoyable. It has a cartoonish simplicity but the art is very well done. This Alpa Red villain has a decent introduction and feels like he could be a good threat. Who knows how they will give him depth though.

I did not read Inhumans Vs. X-Men so this is another reentry point for me with the X-Men and I think it works for the most part. I like the idea of Kitty Pryde getting back involved and it looks like we could be getting back to the classic X-Men that we all love. I'm looking forward to seeing what Blue and Gold bring.

The young and original X-Men are back and this time Jean Grey is taking the lead. This is a fun little issue that's an easy jump on point. The bulk of the story is good enough but the final frame of the book gives us an interesting look into how this title may go from here.

Another fairly fun book from this X-Men revival. Sure, the story is a bit familiar but that really doesn't bother me. Its this type of story where the X-Men really thrive and at this point I'm going to continue reading.

Much like the last one this issue is mostly action over story, there is a bit more information given about their being two Clark Kents and I'm gettting some enjoyment out of seeing Lex Luthor as a hero. This comic doesn't take the story much further but the battle rages on.

This book gets this series back on track after the last arc was kind of hit or miss and there were more questions than answers. This book tries to explain why there is a powerless Clark Kent on Earth now and whole new Superman that seems to be alive and well. It is really just a day in the life of reporter Clark Kent and it is a whole new story compared to what we got with the Doomsday fight in the last arc.

There is not as much insight into Jessica Jones' character in this issue but it continues to keep the story interesting with Jones continuing to follow this case and her involvement in it. The art continues to impress me and I remain interested in the story.

Now that this issue is focusing more on one Avenger team rather than 4 or 5 at once I feel like I could really enjoy this story. The issue is a combination of two story so the whole team doesn't exactly form in this issue but a few of them do first come into contact with them. Most of these characters are my favorites like Sam Wilson and Ms Marvel. So I'm engaged for sure.

I didn't feel like this issue was an essential but the final issue of Rick Remender's All New Captain America story is still pretty fun. It wraps up Sam Wilson's struggles with his past and he finally comes to terms with the hero he is. There is a slight twist at the end of this book which isn't really as significant as it should be but All New Captain America is a great story and I recommend it to any Cap fan.

The better Batman book this week. Batman takes some time to explain a story about him an Harvey Dent that was really interesting and there are some flashbacks that tie in to the present day story. This issue is probably the best issue of this series so far. Scott Snyder is returning to his form from the New 52.

The Learning to Crawl arc that ran just a little too long has finally come to an end. The big problem that I have with this issue is that we got no explanation about why Clash has never return to fight Spider-Man ever again. The rest of this book is really fun. I'm really to stick to present day for a little while though.

I know about the tension between Spider-Man and Black Cat because I read Superior Spider-Man and that makes this issue way easier to understand. I like that Spider-Man has to team up with Mary Jane's new boyfriend. The firefighter, Olie. The fight with Black Cat was definitely a little underwhelming but she will probably have a pivotal role in this arc later.

It serves as a tie in to the Original Sin story but fortunately they keep Dan Slott in control rather than hand the reigns over to Jason Aaron for this issue. Silk is finally introduced after being teased for the whole series. Despite having a similar way of gaining powers to Spider-Man Silk has a completely different backstory and this character has peaked my interest so far.

I found this to be a fairly solid ending. It didn't really feel too sloppy considering how many characters have been involved in this thing. There may have been a few things that went over my head because I have avoided the tie ins but I enjoyed the story essentially all the way through. Silk and Superior Spider-Man really stand out in this issue. As much as I like this story I did feel like its time to wrap up as well. Lets get back to 616.

This team up between Spider-Man and Wraith is a lot stronger than the first issue. Spider-Man is really well written and feels like the classic character that we all know. The villain still isn't quite there for me but the overall story really works. I'm interested to see how this will end.

If the rest of this series can keep up the quality of this issue then I'll be happy. This comic shows that the real Peter Parker that we know before he got famous is still very much alive. It really shows that at heart is still the hero that he always was. There are a few subplots that are introduced as well that are bound to result in some fun in the upcoming books.

The issue is mostly action but there is a good amount of emotion between Aquaman and the Black Manta. It give a bit of backstory on his characters for newer readers like myself. Aquaman continues to be one of my favorite Rebirth titles so far.

This Aquaman comic is my early favorite of all the Rebirth titles so far (although I have yet to read Batman yet). There is a great mix of action and story to this point. The politics between America and Atlantis has worked very well to this point and Arthur Curry has been very well written as a true hero in this book.

Aquaman Rebirth is such a great jumping on point for new readers. Many people are aware of the character and make fun of how useless he supposedly is. This comic displays Aquaman as a misunderstood super human that can not be accepted by either land or sea. The conflict in the story was fairly minor but it does do an excellent job of setting up Aquaman for what will be coming in his new ongoing series.

Its not a exciting issue but Joss Whedon does a solid job of kicking off a new X-Men story with most of the most familiar characters in tact. Its a simple start but certainly interesting. The art is awesome too.

Issue #4 continues the investigation into the newly developed mutant cure. It doesn't have the information unveiled that the earlier issues have but it has a cool reveal at the end and I'm looking forward to see where Whedon takes it.

This new X-Men arc is all drama taking place at the mutant school with an appearance from a Sentinel looking to destroy the mutants but it turns out being more than it seems. The story Whedon crafts here still needs to be fully fleshed out but it is certainly intriguing. The art continues to impress as well.

Joss Whedon begins his third arc on his Astonishing X-Men run. The Hellfire club returns after they have secretly been working with Emma Frost. The art continues to work very well and the struggles with Emma Frost and Kitty Pryde continue to develop. Whedon has done a good job of adding more story issue to issue while also continuing a narrative that has existed through the whole series to date.

Issue #18 is another stand out issue for Kitty Pryde. I can't get over how much I love this character. The X-Men have faced their fears and now they are coming together once again to wrap up the Torn arc in another great chapter.

Joss Whedon is close to wrapping up his run with the second last issue of the Unstoppable arc. Cyclops finally does something awesome. I've found him to be one of the consistently weaker characters throughout this series but this feels a bit more like the classic character.

I like the though of Batgirl going to Japan. This issue sets up what should be a really fun story. Barbara Gordon is very well written in this issue and I feel like there is a lot of potential for this series. I'm looking forward to the next issue.

Barbara Gordon spends very little time in costume in this issue but her new questionable romance with a questionable character keeps my interest as well as her effort to learn more fighting skills. I like that this book continues to take place is less conventional areas too. Its a lot of fun.

I enjoyed this book about as much as I liked the Batgirl solo book. I find it really solid. I like the dialogue between the three main characters and there is a lot of room for them to develop as the a team over the course of this series. It seems like a lot of fun to me.

This story involving the Court of Owls remains to be good quality just not quite as awesome as the first few books were. Bruce Wayne is forced to make a stand in his own house. There is more action and not as much depth but there seems to be even more drama coming later on in this book with a lot of Batman's allies appearing to get involved.

This is another pretty cool issue. Shows a bit more about the past of Wayne Mayor and Bruce Wayne's relationship with Owls. Still not as good as the Court of Owls story but there are a few moments that really stick.

Batman is only a supporting character in this book. Its really more of an introduction to Harper Row. Who will almost certainly become a key player in the coming issues. Harper is a strong and confident character who becomes fascinated with Batman after he saves her brother from being beaten

I'm finally all caught up on Batman. This issue brings the I am Gotham arc to an end. With appearances from the Justice League. The art is very well done once again and the dialogue is as good as any other issue in this series so far. The ending is a bit of a shocker and it looks like this series is about to go in a completely different direction now.

I find this to be a pretty good start to an new arc. Bringing Bane back to the forefront sounds interesting to me and Batman teaming up with a bunch of villains is interesting as well. The atmosphere is very much set. Lets see where they take it.

This issue doesn't have much action but its certainly gives a lot of exploration into the Sam Wilson character and that's what its all about. Rhodey's funeral ends up being a very good moment that a wide assortment of superheroes shared.

Daredevil teams up with an enemy in order to make an attempt a defeating a common enemy. This book continues to be tense and a different story that we don't see often from Daredevil.

Enjoyed this one better than the opening issue. The art is still really good and the story looks to full of potential. Tenfingers is a bit of a lame name for a villain though.

Solid issue. Gives Blindspot a bit more of an important role in the story and I thought Soule made some interesting choices with the Daredevil character. I thought this was the best of the series so far.

This Deadpool series continues to improve with each issue. Deadpool and Madcap finally face offand his motivations become a bit more clear. This issue put Deadpool in the starring role that some of the earlier issues didn't do.

The excellent Rebirth story continues through Detective Comics #935. This is not just a Batman story, its an ensemble. There is some struggle in the lives of Batman's allies while his investigation is also furthered with a new villain emerging. I'm liking this arc so far.

James Tyion has done such a great job of setting up Batman's new allies that he managed to pull this issue off without using Batman at all. The motivations of the mysterious villain have been revealed, by way for a massive twist. Things are just about to get serious in Detective Comics 937.

Coming off a really solid issue that had almost no Batman at all Issue 937 brings Batman back to center stage and the he begins to learn more about the plot of the colony. This arc has been consistently solid and its been really fun to read.

This issue takes a while to get going. I'd say this third issue of the Night of the Monster Men crossover is the best so far when all is said and done. There is a little too much focus on Spoiler and Orphan in the cave with all the humans but once the monsters get a bit more attention with Gotham Girl and Nightwing this book really took off. We also get learn a bit more about what these monsters can do and how defeating them is a little harder than it looks.

One of the few titles that have tied in with DC Universe Rebirth and it does so really well. The issue introduces new readers to Barry Allen, and Wally West. There is even an appearance from Batman. This issue serves as a great kick off for what will come later.

Green Arrow continues to deliver the fun for me. I have read other reviews of this issue that the book is lacking subplots and hidden themes but I don't really care. You see all the conflict unfolding in the images of this comic. This is no conflict inside the mind of the Green Arrow. Its just straight forward action. I don't know what could be wrong about that.

I've enjoyed most of this arc so far. The last issue focused more on Jessica this time it is Simon. This book continues to be a solid read for new readers. I've enjoyed the humans getting infected with Rage and Simon Baz has a pretty badass moment. It is quite like Lethal Weapon last the last few issues were but still very fun.

The Phantom Ring story is continuing to evolve and I can't wait to see the two young Green Lanterns square off against this new Phantom Lantern. We get to understand a bit more about what this ring is capable of. Its also starting to cause some doubt in Jessica and Simon's mind if the Green ring is really the right ring for them.

The mythology involving the Phantom Ring is once again expanded and the conflict inside the two main characters continues to keep this comic interesting for me.

I don't find the art to be that special. It gives the book a bit of a independent feel but I do enjoy the introductions to the new characters that we will get to know better in this series. Kirkman's writing is always pretty dependable.

The art still isn't a stand out but some back story into Mark's father and a brand new group of super friends allow this series to move along at a very quick and interesting pace.

I sort of hoped for a better lead in to the movie. It mostly worked out as I expected. Still, overall its a fun mission with character that we have rarely seen in comics so far.

A cool introduction issue. It took me a little while to catch on but I really enjoy the art and the story appears to be off to a good start although there is still a lot of questions to be answered.

Decided to try this series because of the new series. The two pieces definitely share some DNA. Seems like this series could be a mind freaker.

Ms. Marvel (2014) #4 May 16, 2016

Issue 13 is a start of a new arc and the artists have been swapped up once again which was a goo thing in my opinion. It is revealed that Kamala was not the only person effected by the mist and she also develops what will probably be a future love interest as well as a new villain.

Ms Mervel's new love interest gets a bit more development in issue 14. There is not a lot of action but it does offer a little more insight into her new crush. It ends on a pretty good cliffhanger which may result in a new villain getting revealed in the next issue.

So this appears to be the end of the love interest saga of this story. Kamala's new crush reveals a pretty solid twist and she must figure out how to escape. Another pretty solid issue.

Its not exactly an exciting issues because the conflict is fairly minor but Ms Marvel still continues to be the character that everyone loves. This is more of a Kamala story than a Ms Marvel story but it still appears to be a good set up for a whole new story arc.

We don't get to see the big battle between Ms. Marvel and a giant version of herself but she learns a pretty valuable lesson in the process. Iron Man and Captain Marvel both appear and there is some hints towards a conflict that will come in Civil War II. This gives you the fun that you expect from Ms. Marvel.

I was a little hesitant to start this issue knowing that it was going to be containing the Chinese Justice League which has the same 3 main members as the American Justice League has. The New Super-Man character is still unique though and he still shows a little bit of heart here and there that makes you like him and he continues to develop. Even though I didn't like the idea of the Chinese Justice League they did craft a solid story around them.

The maze house was a very interesting element of the plot. The fact that Batgirl decided to join in the fun only made the story more interesting. I really enjoyed all the dialogue between characters. Raptor continues to intrigue me.

Nightwing issue 4 gives us a lot more depth into some characters. Especially Raptor who has really impressed me up to this point. Appearances from Batman and Damien Wayne also impress. The ending is very interesting and it shows that Raptor will likely be here to stay for at least another arc.

Nightwing's relocation to Bludhaven gets off to a great start. It seemed like a natural place for the character to go after his meeting with Superman in the last issue and they do a pretty good job of establishing the place as completely different from Gotham City. It appears like its got its own set of secrets that Nightwing will hopefully explore.

I don't necessarily feel like this is a natural place for this story to go but there is some really development among the characters in this issues. Seeing Nightwing team up with a bunch of failed super villains is a very fresh turn and I hope they appear in more issues.

This series gets off to a cool start. I really like the design of Oblivion. The art is especially strong and there is certainly some potential to build a pretty good story from here.

This isn't really an action packed issue. Its Luke Cage and Danny Rand doing some detective work about the necklace that they stole. We also get some more insight into what the object can do if it is in the wrong hands. Seeing Black Mariah back in a comic is great and she really suits the tone of this series.

This is the first Punisher comic that I've ever read and I think this is pretty solid intro to the character that I know from Daredevil Season 2. He doesn't have a huge presence in this first issue but I like the art and I think its going to serve as a good set up for what is coming next.

This Red Hood story continues to be way better than it has any right to be. Red Hood manages to get a little deeper into Black Mask's plan. Finally we get a little more attention given to Bizzaro. I'm really interested to see where they take him.

I was really shocked to see that these comics were going to form an arc. This comic is slightly better than the last one as the dialogue is a little more reminiscent of the Adult Swim show. This arc doesn't appear to be moving very quickly either. I expected every story to be a separate adventure. The maze was a really cool idea.

Its nice to have Stacey Lee back as artist. I really enjoy the way she draws this book. Jonah gives Cindy a little help with finding her parents. I always like to see him show a little heart every once in a while. The conflict with Black Cat is alright but the team up with Spider-Man is fairly entertaining.

The reveal at the end of the last issue hardly gets explained any better but this is still a pretty good issue involving another fight between Silk and Black Cat which will hopefully end with the last issue of this series. Spider-Man appears again as well.

This is an excellent number 1. I am unfamiliar with Miles Morales and this issue is all it takes to get me engaged in his character. He is thrown into a situation that really feels unwinnable and with an interesting partner joining him to continue the fight I'm on board.

This is a bit of a step down after Jason Aaron had a run of amazing issues but its still pretty fun. Han and Luke's story feels a little weaker as its mostly played for comedy to this point but I'm very interested in seeing the all female team up and having Dr. Aphra in on all the fun after her involvement in Vader Down.

I found the fight between Luke and Kreel to be a bit of a disappointed after they built him up so well in the first issue of this arc, but this was still a great finale to a fairly consistent arc.. The R2 story at the end of the book really isn't worth the two minutes of reading though.

Aaron probably could've avoided the whole intro with R2 and just jumped right into the Yoda story. I found this to be very good with several of the characters from the prequel trilogy making appearances. It just that the story remains very short. The cliffhanger appears to be teasing more Yoda after this issue though. Hopefully he doesn't have to share the spotlight this time.

The use of Yoda is very good once again. Yoda is very well drawn and resembles the character from the prequels very well. This is a book with a lot of mystery and you have to piece everything together as Yoda does. There are a few moments towards the back of the issue that has a few things that are out of character for Yoda but I still found myself really digging this issue.

The content of the issue is great. I really enjoyed it. There is some art that is pretty jarring though. It basically looks like the artist traced a screen shot the movies. Luke's naïve nature is on full display in this comic and Aphra is the real standout. I would like to see a bit of an improvement with the faces of the characters though.

Sana Starros is one of those characters that has hung around this comic for a long time despite not really having anything to do. Its this comic where she finally gets a moment to shine. Lando plays the straight man and this becomes a fun little adventure that everyone should read.

I'm sure some people will find that that this issue requires some suspension of disbelief but this issue really did the trick for me. We all knew that R2 wasn't your average droid and now its been proven. He's a bad ass.

Scar Squadron is revisited. They are one of the more interesting new additions to Star Wars canon. I enjoy reading about them and Sargent Kreel is a very interesting character. Appearances some classic characters help this issue along and if this will be Jason Aaron's final issue on this series then it is a worthy one.

A strong finale to a pretty solid story. I love that we continue to near the events of Empire. Han continues to build on his leadership qualities in this comic and Leia continues to show great promise as well. I am ready to move on though.

I'm far more interested in the story these comics have to tell than the art because I just don't have much of an eye for it, but this art is pretty bad. Larrocca really needs to go and I've been saying it for months. The story itself is still pretty cool and has a WTF moment that only lasts for a second but I appreciated anyway.

The new alien character that appears in this issue is quite interesting. Han Solo definitely stands out among the ensemble in this issue getting several good jokes. Gillen appears to have a good grasp on the characters. The faces are still brutal though.

Solid finale to a consistently entertaining story. It seems that space battles don't come that often in the comics so it was nice to see a whole issue devoted to it. Classic Star Wars fun and a cool reveal at the end have me excited for milestone issue 50.

I would consider this a noticeable upgrade in the art department. The issue is mostly set up for the next arc, but it proves to be an interesting one.

Seems like its circling back a little bit in some ways, but its a good opportunity to bring some past characters from the comics back into the story. I'm definitely interested to see where this arc goes.

An exciting issue. Looks to set up more stakes for the next issue.

Still mostly set up in this issue, but I'm loving the new art. Some good dialogue. I'm interested to see where the story goes from here.

Really enjoyed two of the 3 sections in this one.

Things are picking up a bit again in this comic. I'm definitely more interested in Luke and Chewbacca's stories though.

The 3 storylines are starting to weave together and it seems to be leading to an interesting conclusion.

Very Lando heavy issue. Charles Soule has a good grasp on that character. This issue seems like a kickoff to an interesting mission.

The small little bonus story is a little rushed but the main story about Rey and Unkar Plutt is actually kind of cute. I think people need to loosen their leash on these comics because they tell a lighthearted story.

The main story didn't really feel that fresh, but it still felt like Star Wars none the less. The second story was probably the more informative of the two giving us some information into the Porgs that everyone loved from The Last Jedi.

Now that Rebels has come to an end its good that Lucasfilm still intends to explore the characters further. I think I enjoyed the second adventure more than the first. These are for kids, but they are still surprisingly enjoyable.

I'm glad they aren't doing the tales from wild space section anymore. Classic characters. Plenty of fun. That's what matters.

Two simple stories with good messages for kids. The writer really had a good grasp on C-3P0 who always walks a fine line between funny and annoying. Leia is well written as well.

Perfect little Saturday morning cartoon adventure. Both stories are equally entertaining and its really cool to see Jaxxon back in Canon, while he's a bit of a deep cut he's been in the Star Wars galaxy for 40 years. I hope they come back to him later.

Star Wars Adventures always seems to get a boost from the annual issues. If they can expand the story a bit I find I like it more. The Lando and Jaxxon adventure was very fun and then the second story was very heartfelt.

A Star Wars comic mixed with some classic Hammer Horror style? I'm completely cool with that. It was a nice touch to include Christopher Lee's Count Dooku in this story. So far this series has lived up to my excitement.

Not sure what to think about ripped Tarkin. I find him to be one of the more underrated original trilogy characters and this comic lines up well with the Tarkin book.

I preferred the Yoda story of the 3. The Biggs and Porkins one was pretty fun and brightly colored, but a bit kid friendly too.

Nice to see some Jabba the Hutt in new canon. He seems to be mostly unexplored so far.

Good to see some content in between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. The Emperor plants doubt in Luke's mind much like a devil would.

Its rare that we see material set during this era, so even though this issue has pretty low stakes I enjoyed the insight into pre-Resistance Finn.

A very cool reveal at the end. The writer has a good grasp on Poe, but this story is relatively low stakes, but I enjoyed that this comic explored some territory that we hadn't really seen before. Poe before the Resistance.

One of the lesser issues in this series so far, but still shows a lot of character. Padme is Leia's mother as we all know and I love when there is some connective tissue between them.

Plenty of action, I do wish that it told us a little bit more about Grievous, but we got to see him look cool. Its a very quick read because it just doesn't seem like there is much dialogue.

I've finished the Phasma book in between the last two issues of this comic and I feel that it really improved my thoughts on this comic. Both compliment each other quite well and really give us an idea of exactly what Phasma is like. She's a good villain now and so worthy of hatred. I hope Rian Johnson can help improve the character in The Last Jedi.

I really enjoy the conflict that continues to go on in Maul's mind and obviously the teaming up with the bounty hunters will add an interesting supporting cast to this comic. I enjoy reading about all his rage and his reasons for hating the Jedi. Any comic that has Palpatine in it is pretty much a winner in my books.

An appearance from Emperor Palpatine will always elevate a comic. I always enjoy the dynamic between Vader and his master. This issue also has another small tie in to the Star Wars comic.

One of the better issues ever produced in this series outside of the amazing Vader Down arc. Emperor Palpatine's appearance really elevates the comic as he explains some of his motivations that have remained a mystery throughout the series. Then the hunt for Doctor Aprha is back on. All that has occurred in this series is heading towards this arc. Tiple 0 and BeeTee really shine once again and even more so in the bonus issue where they star.

The new Jedi Vader is forced to fight has reminded me a lot of Jorrus C'Boalth from the Heir to the Empire novels. That's not a bad thing at all. I would've liked to liked to see more of trial during the climb up the mountain but the information about this mysterious Jedi and Vader quest make for another good issue.

I was a little disappointed by the reveal of the surviving Jedi. I was expecting a more important character. Still a really good issue that continues to compliment the current story in the Star Wars main line. Akbar and Raddus are featured as well.

This is a fun issue. The third part of this Screaming Citadel story gets all of the characters we love involved. Triple 0 really stands out once again but so do Luke and Aphra. I found myself chuckling at a lot of the frames as well.

Really solid issue with some interesting character moments. There are some more hints that Aphra could possibly be a lesbian which would make things a little bit interesting. Just a simple heist plot with some good dialogue.

It doesn't really show us a whole lot more than what the Solo novelization has already told us, but I enjoyed seeing the inner workings of the Empire and how out of place Han is inside of it.

More fun in this issue. Han stays loyal to the character, but its obvious why things didn't really work out for him in the Empire.

This issue shapes Han Solo into the character we know. Lots of action too.

I would say this stays pretty loyal to the Han Solo we see at the end of Solo: A Star Wars Story. We get to see him be that hero we know.

There are more Rebels tie ins and Caleb Dune finally dies. It looks like there is going to be a time shift between this issue and the next one as the rest of the Rebel crew is likely to be featured.

Still, some pretty cool Lando moments that are loyal to the character. I think I prefer L3-37 in this book to the character we saw in the film.

Barnes is still getting Lando right, the stakes aren't particularly high in this issue but the adventure is still a pretty fun time.

It was nice to see Lando show a little humanity in this issue since he arrogance was maybe getting a little out of hand in the past few. Not a bad little title. I enjoyed most of it.

I wouldn't consider the present day story to be as good as the flashback but this is still a great kick off to what should be a pretty interesting series. It explains a little bit more of the limitations of the Jedi while also given a bit of insight into Anakin Skywalkers training as a young boy. There are several classic characters used. Most notably Palpatine, who will likely play a big role.

Star Wars: Poe Dameron #7 Dec 19, 2016

Charles Soule continues to deliver a great story with this comic. Terex continues to prove to be a wise enemy for Poe and there is a great scene here between Terex and Captain Phasma who will be set to appear very soon. Teaming Poe up with C-3P0 continues to work too.

A comic about a mission to get fuel really shouldn't be as good as this issue is. Poe Dameron shows his heroism time and time again here and there just a good dynamic with him and his crew as well. This probably isn't as high stakes as some of the other stories but its still a fun read.

Star Wars: Poe Dameron #18 Sep 22, 2017

The Force Awakens appears to be creeping up a bit. I wouldn't be shocked this comic is coming to an end soon. There are a few spots that felt a little rushed but overall this is perfectly fun Star Wars adventure with great art good humor and a good ending.

The highlight of this issue was seeing Leia play the main hero role again rather than sit back and let the younger guys do the work. I didn't care for the little conversation between Snap and Poe but the rest of this issue is continuing to interest me. The information about San Tekka was very welcome too.

Still really enjoying this story. Its gotten to the point where this feels more like a Black Squad/Resistance comic book because its focusing on so many more characters than just Poe. It seems like Leia is more the main character of this comic and that's completely fine with me. This book continues to be about as strong as it ever has been, I wouldn't be shocked if the series takes a time jump or ends soon though.

The tail end wasn't as impressive as the start. Still, there is probably lots of great content to come in this arc. Would've liked to have seen more of Leia. Nien Numb and Chewie being pals was a nice little treat to see.

This arc continues to fill in some of the holes that have been left vague since The Force Awakens. This book focuses more on the remaining members of Black Squardron who are absent during the movie. Still a pretty entertaining adventure that give more depth to the condition the galaxy is in at this time.

Not on the same high level as some of the other issues in this arc, but its a solid end to a very solid comic series. It does end a bit like you may expect it to, but the last few panels give this comic the strong ending it deserves.

Good action. Hoping to see Vader interact with this group sooner rather than later.

Another solid issue with great additional content. The Canto Bight sequence is a weaker element in the film, but it is limited in this story and doesn't become as much of an issue.

Luke's story continues to be the stand out. There is a bit more content added to his conversation with Yoda which was welcome with me.

Now that I've finished the book I still find this comic really complimentary to this story. I would actually consider this version better than the book because the story did a little dragging in novel form. In this comic everything is summarized and most of the stories stick to the essentials.

This issue makes a shift into the origins of Governor Pryce from Rebels, it looks like it clumped most of her part of the book into one issue. I still really enjoyed it as someone who has completed the book. Its nice to have the visual side of things to compliment the key parts of the book.

A solid ending. I didn't always love the book and I didn't always love the comic. The parts of the book that I liked ended up being the parts of the comic that I liked. It still serves as a great primer to the next novel featuring Vader and Thrawn.

A good start to this comic series set to tie into Alphabet Squadron. It shows a blue collar side of the Empire that we don't always see.

Good issue with a few surprises. I'd like to be a bit more attached to the characters, and it doesn't seem to be tying into Alphabet Squadron much, but the action is good.

Very interesting issue that shows just how terrified the Imperials were of Darth Vader. Some Imperials would do basically anything in order to keep themselves alive.

The story is simple, but I enjoyed the hallucinations of the main character. The art seemed a bit different and the book leaned into horror a bit.

This issue is composed of 2 stories. A story about the new mission for the Suicide Squad and the second is a look into Deadshot. The first issue ends a little too quickly but its a fine set up for an arc. I really enjoyed what is a partial Deadshot origin. This book is used to attract the fans of the recent movie and I think it will do its job well.

I still think that DC are only uping the quality of the Suicide Squad comics to make more profit off the film but its working. The quest is really quite interesting and the ending has two really huge twists. The secondary story takes it down a little bit but I don't know anything about Captain Boomerang so I was semi interested.

Dan Slott continues his well written Otto Octavius Spidey comic with a few more of the classic Spidey characters that we have yet to see. With a classic villain appearing in the final frame for the first time in the series. The conflict between Spidey and Massacre just begins in this issue but I feel like he could be a very strong character in the upcoming issues.

The finale to the No Escape arc is the best issue of that story. The final showdown builds up the tension fairly well and Spider-Man eventually gets the jump on J Jonah Jameson. Not only does the No Escape arc wrap up but it puts us in a good spot for the next issue.

I've enjoyed the return of Flash Thompson to Spider-Man's world so far. I really enjoy the last few moments of this comic which I didn't see coming for some reason. It once again shows that this new Spider-Man is a completely different character.

This issue had enough going on that they easily could've made it into 2 issues. Now that the Superior Spider-Man has bonded with the Venom all the old evil of Otto Octavius is beginning to show more than ever. The cliffhanger at the end of the issue appears to be promoting a big conflict that will hopefully bring the end of the arc to a huge climax.

This arc is starting to feel worthy of the build up. The conflict has been layer on fairly well in this issue and Peter Parker's life is now beginning to crumble at the hands of the Goblin King (Norman Osborn/Green Goblin). This should be building up what should be an even better issue for number 29.

The title of this issue is Son of Superman and it totally makes sense. Jon takes control of this story for the bulk of the issue. His character really reminds me of Dash from the Incredibles as he just wants to be more public with his powers. I think this is a start of a pretty cool arc. I'm regretting not starting it sooner.

Each character in the Teen Titans get a few pages that introduce them to the new readers. With the exception of Damian Wayne who is mostly absent. There are some interesting moments and the ending really doesn't show us anything about what is to come. We just know that the Titans are all in the same room together.

This concept has got a lot of potential. I don't think this is a perfect first issue but there is a lot to enjoy. It sets the stage pretty well with a minimal amount of characters but the atmosphere is something that isn't often covered in comics. Brubaker is of course a great writer so this could be another classic for him.

Definitely a good start to a comic, and definitely worth reading if you are a fan of the show. It captures the tone of the show quite well. The fact that it takes place after season 1 and not season 2 is a little confusing at first.

A short but enjoyable adventure. Once again the writer does a good job of capturing the tone of the show.

Now that the story is established I think this series has really found its identity. This is a very simple "boots on the ground" story that looks into several characters that we know well from supporting roles in other peoples comics. Now characters like Ben Urich finally get a chance to make a name for themselves.

Spider-Man's appearance and a very good scene between Ben Urich and him is very good. Ben Urich explains why he figured out Spider-Man's identity as well as Daredevils and why Spider-Man has allowed the Green Goblin to live. Ben Urich is really the star of the show so far in this series. I'd like to see Jessica Jones get some more attention eventually but its nice to see him in a starring role.

Another great issue with a lot of the key players involved. There are some very good character moments from Jessica Jones, who shows a little motherly instinct, Luke Cage, shows his devotion to his girlfriend and child and there is even a little heart shown from J Jonah Jameson. This comic is really starting to take shape and I'm enjoying it.

This arc doesn't quite reach the level of the first one but its still very strong. This issue is fairly action packed but there are also some very emotional moments including a very shocking ending.

This is the launching point for a new arc and it seems like it is meant to be a jumping on point for new readers. It seems like Rick suddenly isn't crazy anymore after one issue and it just doesn't seem as tension packed as some of the last issues were. I still love the characters thouh and its still a very enjoyable book.

This issue goes in a bit of a different direction from the last one as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman all wind up back in time. Superman meets his dead father for the first time in years and its a very powerful moment. The art remains very good and the story remains very interesting. I've found this series to be a surprise hit so far.

This comic really knows how to juggle multiple storylines. Each member of the X-Men gets a moment. Magneto and Jean's time together is probably the highlight of the whole comic. It'll be interesting to see where that relationship goes from here. This is a comic that should continue to impress X-Men followers. Nice to see that Marvel is giving them the attention they deserve again.

I really enjoyed this return to form for the X-Men. I like Kitty Pryde as the leader and it feels like most of the characters get an opportunity to shine this time. I'm really looking forward to seeing where this goes.

X-Men gold delivers another pretty fun issue. Kitty Pryde continues to be the star of the show and her character remains tremendously likeable. The final scenes of this book reveal what could be a pretty interesting new conflict for the X-Men.

This is the best action comics book so far. We finally get to learn a bit more about this powerless Clark Kent and he and Superman finally spend some time together and clear up some of the mysteries that have been plaguing this title for too long. Kent and Superman don't understand why the other exists and don't trust each other. Kent's article at the end of the book is very solid as well. Classic Superman.

Not an exciting issue at all but I found it very entertaining. There is a great conversation between Jessica Jones and Carol Danvers that is just really well written and adds a lot more depth to their characters. Jessica Jones has always remained a very interesting character to me. The art remains awesome and this last few pages tease an ongoing story for the next few issues.

This issue is another solid continuation of the Rick Jones story that was kicked off in the last issue. Its a lot of reading but the writing still really stands out and the story continues to keep me hooked.

A nice wrap up to an arc that was not as good as the first story. All that confusion regarding Rick Jones is all resolved as well as this other case Jones has been working on as a side project. There is one scene in this book in a coffee shop that is so good that it feels almost cinematic and that is reason I love this book so much.

Another great mystery issue that feels very much like a movie with Jessica Jones going to a new town in order to find a missing girl. All the discussions between Jones and these new characters are interesting. Most of the issue gives off the vibe that this kid is completely normal and finally in the final frame we see why Jessica Jones is there.

We are another few steps closer to figuring out the mystery of the disappearance of Rebecca. Jessica continues to follow what few leads she has and she also gets personal with the sheriff. There are even a few frames that finally begin to show something about Jones' career as a super hero before she became a private investigator.

As cool issue that shows a little more into the hero side of Jessica Jones. She is a woman that will stand up for what she believes in if she needs to. The art is a stand out once again and I'm looking forward to seeing how this arc will wrap in in the final issue.

The interesting start to a new arc with a lot of interesting character from earlier on in the series returning. I like the tease that J Jonah is involved in this. His character really translates to an essentially R-rated comic. Scott Lang makes an interesting appearance as well. He's one of the only characters in the book that are truly likeable.

An interesting no linear narrative. This book takes you fairly far considering now many bases its has to cover. Bendis is very at home with this book and the art continues to impress.

Jessica Jones is even closer on the trail of Mattie with a big private investigation underway. The story is interesting and the dialogue and art is very well crafted.

After 22 mostly amazing issues we finally get to learn more about the powers of Jessica Jones. This issue shows that Jessica has been around super powered beings for a lot of her life before acquiring her own. The art has a bit of a different look but it still really works. Some of this information was long overdue so its great to see.

Finally we get to the part of this series that heavily inspired the Jessica Jones tv series. This book really sets up all the abilities of Killgrave without even having him appear in the book. It really just takes the issue to set up Jessica's fear of him and all the victims that have suffered from his deeds.

Sam Wilson proves to be worthy of the name Captain America in the All-New Captain America issue 1. All the facts that you need to know to read this comic are on the very first page and then you are all up to date and should be able to enjoy it to the fullest. There is a little bit of a subs plot involving Sam Wilson's family. I like that the new Captain America has Nomad as a sidekick. There is a lot of good humor in here that reminds me a lot of the Falcon from the MCU. Its really just a fun time. Sorry Steve Rogers but I don't really miss you.

The stakes remain high in the All New Captain America series. Sam Wilson's character continues to develop and we learn more about him. The daughter of the Red Skull makes an appearance and she really shines in this issue and Sam Wilson really takes a beating mentally. The only issue is that it may hang around too long just by a frame or two but this issue really felt like a film unfolding before your eyes. Way to go again Rick Remender. The artwork is solid once again as well.

Its a very simple issue with writing that is almost comparable to the classic Stan Lee run. Its been done already but its no less sweet. This issue even occurs right in the middle of Spider-Man's origin days. Dan Slott continues to prove that he can write a mean Spidey book.

Probably the most fun issue of this Learning to Crawl story line. I've very interested to see what happens to Clash in this next issue. He makes a pretty good villain because he is really unlikeable. This issue really does feel like an old Stan Lee book. Betty Brant and JJ have a pretty big involvement and it just a good Spider-Man story for fans of the character. I'm interested to see how it concludes with 1.5.

Its most story than action and that is the way it should be for Amazing Spider-Man number 2. Its going to take a few issues for everything to clear up in Peter Parkers life and an interesting conflict with Electro appears to be on its way. A character that hasn't got much attention since Otto Octavius was Spider-Man. I'm glad they decided to keep Ana Maria in this series as I like her a lot as a character.

I was really impressed by this issue. The interactions between Ms Marvel and Spider-Man are better. Both characters have a lot of similarities anyway so it is really cool to see them paired together. I was also really impressed by Clayton Cole making an appearance in the present after Dan Slott created him for the Learning to Crawl arc that took place in the past. I'm really looking forward to seeing what will happen with him now that he will begin collaborating with Peter Parker.

The is still a little bit of confusion because this issue is so overloaded with Spider characters but this Spider-Verse story remains really fun. I'm glad that Slott decided to include the Superior Spider-Man as we will likely learn more about how he is in the story as we go. I think this Spider-Verse story is great for any Spider-Man fan regardless of which Earth he is from.

Spider-Verse continues to really work as an event. I'm impressed that this story remains so clear to the people who chose not to read all the tie in issues. If you do want some more depth to the situation then you are welcome to do so but you aren't any worse off just reading the main story. The fight between the Amazing and Superior Spider-Men is cool but I like that they have included Doc Ock's version of Spider in this universe because he is a great variation on the character.

This was a really fun book. All the relationships that the spiders have developed with each other have to be put on hold for another time. There are some moments that describe what will happen with some of the characters that we may not see again or any time soon and it does a great job of setting up some solo series for the characters that really came into their own over the course of this event.

Dan Slott has proved that he knows Spider-Man and this mini series seems to be perfect for fans of his writing but also fans of the classic Spider-Man characters. Slott hasn't utilized much of the classic Spider-Man villains in his last series and now he takes the character back to where we know him best.

This story goes back to the emotion that the first issue had. Peter Parker has no choice but to fight now and put his family at risk. The last two issues in this mini series should be as good as it gets.

Geoff Johns knows DC characters and the first issue of Aquaman's new 52 title tries to erase the public's perception of Aquaman for new readers. Even the DC universe views Aquaman as a usless joke in this comic and he tries to clear up a lot of misconceptions of his abilities. There is not a lot of action to start out this story but its a great jumping on point if you want to read Aquaman.

Geoff Johns appears to be turning Aquaman into a really fun and cool character with this New 52 title. I love how this comic is changing the perception of Aquaman. The art is really cool and I love the look of these new mysterious villains.

Aquaman continues to be one of my favorite titles of Rebirth so far. The story moves along at a great pace. This issue takes you so far with so little. Both the hero and villains story is progressed and I think the conflict that is coming at the end of this arc will be huge because the build up has been awesome.

An action packed but also emotional issue for Aquaman. Sending Superman in for the finale of this solid arc is the icing on the cake for The Drowning. Aquaman expresses issues with the Justice League as he feels like the odd one out and he is the hero that is always frowned upon regardless of what he tries to do. Its a really strong message that results in the frayed relationship between Aquaman and Superman.

Josh Whedon's writing continues to soar and John Cassiday continues his incredible art in Astonishing X-Men #2. Now that the mutant cure has been brought to the public and a new villain Ord, who makes his first appearance in this series appears to be associated with this cure. I'm very intrigued right now and I'm loving it

Professor X gets in on the fun in this new issue of the Danger arc. I don't know if people don't like the Danger villain or what but I really find this story satisfying. The ending appears to be setting up the final battle of the arc with Professor X finally involved. Hopefully he'll stick around.

The X-Men have been manipulated to the point of no return in issue 16. Kitty Pryde stands out once again as an amazing character who stands up for the group with now one to help her. There are more reveals involving the Hellfire club as well as Ord's motive to wanting to destroy the X-Men.

This Back to the Future comic really works for people who have already seen the movies. Marty McFly is not perfected in this book but Doc Brown was very well done. If you've seen the films (which would be the only way I would recommend this series) you already know and love the characters and adding more depth to their story only made me love them more.

The New 52 kickoff for Batman is a very well written story. The steps towards who is causing all suspicious murder in Gotham will be small but its nice to see the world greatest detective doing what he's best at while also including all Batman's allies. This series could be a classic.

The dialogue is a little too aggressive in this issue. There just seems to be too much of it in an effort to tie up all the loose ends of these first 12 issues but I will say that I enjoyed it quite a bit it just makes the book feel a little long.

This story feels like a bit of an interlude from the Night of Owls story with a small tie in. We get Mr. Freezes New 52 origin. His conflict with Batman is quite good with a cool reveal coming towards the end that shocked me quite a bit. This doesn't quite tie in the to Night of Owls like you would expect but a very good annual story.

There is definitely some great art in this issue. The story is really just Batman being Batman but the reveal at the end of this issue shows that the book could really go anywhere at this point. Tom King's got a lot of potential with this story.

The Gotham atmosphere is captured really well again by the art and Tom Kings writing. I'm very interested in Gotham and Gotham Girl as I'm sure they have a lot of secrets. This arc has been moving along nicely.

These new Gotham characters continue to really impress me. The tone and art of this book have been so on point to so far in this series and I've really enjoyed Tom Kings writing. The final frame of this book gets me so excited for the next issue which may be the best yet.

This book has a bit of an unorthodox narrative compared to the first issue of this story but I found it to be great. Batman and Catwoman's relationship isn't often done better than it is here. There was one line of Batman's dialogue that really bothered me and it just didn't feel right but apart from that I'd say this is another great effort from Tom King.

Tom King does do some pretty original stuff with this issue. I thought that fast food restaurant scene was amazing and pretty funny as well. The final reveal was cool but far too far fetched for it to ever be permanent. Oh well, the shock was there for a second.

This book continues to really impress me. It still feels like a more depressing version of the Incredibles. I like that we learn a bit more back story to the characters in this issue but it also moves the story in present day forward as well. It seems like we will get origins on each character as we go along. I think every comic book fan should be reading Black Hammer right now. Its an easy book to jump right into.

Jeff Lemire has me completely on board with this new Black Hammer title. It seems like he is going to give us an origin on each character for the first 5 or 6 issues. Each of these characters don't feel like they are stolen from another company. They are original and they are interesting. Each character has their own set of issues. This time it is Barbalien.

This is a pretty solid number one. It does a good job setting up the lead female character that is certainly very strong and independent. The concept is very original. Hopefully it will make a great series as well as a comic.

I thought this was a very fun issue. Its very simple and it puts Cage back in the detective role that he had in the original series. I'd assume this series isn't really considered canon as its set in the 1970's but we get some more classic characters that just appear out of the blue for hardly any other reason than to me the reader laugh. I'm very intrigued by this book and it has a very "Saturday morning cartoon art style".

This issue of Daredevil takes its time more than the first issue did and it gives a chance for new readers to get up to speed with the character as we know it now. We get a look into Daredevil's new rival for this arc and the story gets its feet planted.

I've never read a DC Comic before so I thought that DC Universe Rebirth would be a great opportunity to jump on and read some comics from their best characters. This one off is not exactly the most clear on some of its story points because there is so much that I have not read but I really enjoyed this story. Wally West was great and his whole adventure was really cool. I'm sure that things will be explained better in the companion issues. Obviously there are some pretty cool reveals that everyone is talking about. I think it is about time that we get to see those characters in a universe with the rest of DC's characters and I'm really interested to see what goes on with the core group of heroes after this story.

I didn't bother with all the bonus crap after the main issue but this is a great issue to mark Deadpool's 25th anniversary. It does everything you want a Deadpool comic to do. He simply runs around trying to settle the score with some of his gudges. It does a pretty quick job of setting up the Deadpool vs Sabretooth arc and that was a little weak but otherwise this was a very fun issue.

The Victim Syndicate has a very small role in this issue but their actions have made some cracks in Batman's new team. Everyone is still feeling the grief from Tim Drakes death. There is a bit of a weird reveal at the end of the book but other than that I think this issue is excellent and adds another level to a great story.

It may be a little bit wordy but this issue had a lot of character and a lot of interesting conversations among the Batman crew. Clayface and Spoiler are probably the two standouts this time and there is a flashback with Batman and Tim Drake that make this all worth while.

Green Lanterns #2 is so great compared to the average last issue. There is a lot of emotion there are well as a little back story for Jessica. The art is solid and it sets up what will come later very well. Another great Rebirth title.

Green Lanterns has been one of my favorite Rebirth titles. The art remains pretty solid and the characters continue to develop. The issue ends at a very pivotal moment. The conflict is immense and the payoff is going to be so great when they finally come to terms with themselves.

A very well done book that finally dumps all the struggles that the two Green Lanterns have had working together. Its nice to finally see a true friendship developing between Simon and Jessica. This issue doesn't have any villains or huge conflict it is just a fun family dinner issue that provides a lot more into Simon's character.

Another really fun and solid Green Lantern story that can work for anyone. The story stays simple and stays on Earth during Halloween. Jessica and Simon are very well written and have now established themselves as Green Lanterns. This book continues to be one of the most surprising successes of DC Rebirth

This comic has a good balances of the past and present day Tony Stark. I feel like there should be two different artists for this book. One for each time frame but its not a big deal. I continue to be interested in this Cassandra character and what she knows about Tony's family. Bendis gives us another really good portrayal of Tony Stark too.

I'm starting to feel even more familiar with this comic. Invincible is just a fun and simple read and there are some moments in this that are pretty funny because we beginning to understand that the Grayson family are a little offbeat in what they would consider "normal"

This Invincible comic has only gotten more enjoyable as the story goes on. It is really such a simple story that anyone can read the book and the art really suits the tone of Kirkman's writing. The villain we get introduced to in this issue has a bit of a different story to him too. There is lot of dark comedy as well.

Brian Michael Bendis has showed already that he knows the character of Tony Stark as well as any writer who has ever been on his series. There are some really good scenes that involve Tony on a personal level and his professional level as Iron Man. This arc appears to be a mystery that Stark must unravel and its worked for me to this point.

I found this book to be a bit of a jump up from the last handful of issues from this series. Mary Jane is finally getting some attention after being teased for the last two. I really think her involvement with Tony will be interesting. She doesn't seem to take any crap off him. There is a lot of dialogue but it is very Tony Stark like. You can almost hear Robert Downey Jr. speaking as you read Tony's dialogue.

Obviously once again. I'm not a fan of these comics that are released only to capitalize on the success of the Netflix show but I must admit that this issue is good. Its very well paced to start out and it looks like this could be a solid interesting arc. Danny Rand is experiences some hardship and needs some time to find his comfort zone again.

I am a big Alias fan but when I heard Brian Michael Bendis was returning for some more R rated Jessica Jones books I was a little skeptical. However this books takes off right where it left off. It has the same style as the old books but it is just as approachable to new readers as the original series was. The story Bendis introduces with Jessica grabs my interest and it should be able to hold it for a while.

Its hard to believe that Brian Michael Bendis can pick this story up years after Alias and do such a great job with Jessica Jones again. There is still a lot of mystery surrounding the characters. The last few moments of this issue are probably the only reason its not a 10.

There aren't many sequel era books that are on the scale or involve as many characters as this one. It looks like its got the makings of a very good Star Wars adventure.

Cool battle, more of an action issue. I'm curious to see how this gets resolved with just on issue to go.

Not as good as the outstanding number 1 issue but Ed Brubaker continues to stand out in this new title. This issue focuses more on the first life that Dylan took. The book provides some important backstory into Dylan's younger life including information about his dad and an old friend. This book seems to be taking its sweet time getting to present day but it seems to be working very well to this point.

This issue seems to move a little slower than the last two but its still very strongly written and there is so much content to digest and it still works very well. I am completely invested in the two main characters and I think I'm involved in this series for the long haul.

Joe Hill's writing is great and this whole story really works in the comic format. I'm starting to get completely on board with the story and characters. This could be one of my new favorite things. I can't wait to get deeper.

An issue that adds a lot of great character depth to characters that I already feel quite close to. Joe Hill's writing is a real treat.

This issue gives a perspective that I wasn't expecting to get much less this early in the series. It makes a bit of an effort to make the villain somewhat sympathetic. There is still some work to be done, but I'm in.

Ms Marvel #2 starts off by giving a better explanation of what happened to Kamala in the first issue and it begins to show her struggling with her powers. There are still plenty of mysteries that need to be answered but I'm fully engaged in Ms Marvel's story and I'm interested to see what else she can find out about her new powers.

Ms Marvel continues to stay in interesting territory. I really am beginning to love the character already. I am looking forward to the time where she really masters her powers though. I thought that this comic was going to be a comic for girls but it turned out to be a comic for anyone.

The story continues between Wolverine and Ms Marvel and their relationship develops a lot more in this issue. There is some pretty good chemistry between the two. Wolverine serves as a mentor to the young hero. This story is pretty action packed and one of the stronger issues so far.

Issue #9 finally gives us more information about how Kamala got her powers with a cool appearance by Medusa. Its fairly informative but very action packed as well.

It is a real treat to see Kamala grow along with her powers in each issue of Ms Marvel. She becomes more and more noble as it continues and becomes a more classic hero with each issue. The is more attention given to the villain this time around with a little more information given about his plan. I feel like Ms Marvel is getting into full flight.

Issues 9 appears to be the finale of this arc and it was pretty solid again. Ms Marvel asserts herself once again as a great role model and the story wraps up quite happily. I really recommend this whole arc to both boys and girls. Its kind of like a modern Spider-Man

Issue 17 is when we finally get that appearance from Carol Danvers in this new Ms Marvel comic. Kamala works very good with Captain Marvel and there are some pretty solid moments and this story is already making for a fascinating arc.

This Last Days arc has stayed fairly consistently awesome throughout. Its really cool to see Kamala become more aware of the Inhuman world and there is a pretty solid reveal at the end of this issue leading into the final one.

Ms Marvel may leave the ending a little ambiguous in terms on a large scale but it does a really good of wrapping things up with the characters that we know. Kamala really seems to come to terms with who she is and how important her friends and family are in this whole situation. Its a great wrap up to a great series.

In this new series Ms. Marvel is now an Avenger but the story picks up almost where the last stories left off. I was really excited to see that G. Willow Wilson returned as the writer as she did every issue of the Marvel NOW series. There is some more teenager drama that works very much like the original Spider-Man comics did. I love the art and I'm starting to think that Ms Marvel is becoming my favorite hero. Wilson seems to be able to write her so easily.

Ms Marvel continues on its hot streak with G Willow Wilson writing another interesting issue. I feel like this new series has a bit more mature themes so far with all the characters we love from the old series. The new villain is revealed in this issue and its a somewhat familiar one. There are a few really awesome reveals. Its just a consistently great book.

The whole clone story has been done for a lot of other characters but this is Ms. Marvel it seems like everything she does gets done with a little more fun. All the drama going on in Kamala's family brings up the drama until the big reveal in the last frame which will likely cause some explaining after the arc has ended.

A true origin issue the New Superman is intended to be a superhero for the Chinese markets but I think it will be a fun universal series for every one. This new character definitely has a few flaws but we know why he has them. The new setting will prove to be interesting as long as they don't copy the American Superman too much.

The further elaboration on Raptor only makes the character more and more interesting as this series goes. This is probably Seeley's best issue of Nightwing yet as Dick Grayson's conflict just reached a whole new level. We learn some more about Raptor's relationship with Dick too.

This two issue arc was very well done. I really hope that we aren't done with Raptor yet. This is a very emotional issue that really shows who Dick Grayson is as a person. Its probably the best story this series has produced so far.

The Bludhaven stories continue to be really interesting. This is the book that probably feels the most like a noir style book. Nice to see Nightwing doing some really detective work and the side character bring a lot to the story as well.

I'm not that familiar with either of the titular characters but Power Man and Iron Fist is a simple start for both characters while also capturing the setting very well. Luke Cage gets a bit more attention in this particular issue but I think this is the start of something great.

This book continues to play on a little nostalgia but it really works. Its so cool to see Iron Fist and Luke Cage teaming up. The story stays pretty simple and retro. The is a great book to introduce the characters as well as carry on their story for the people who read their classic books.

Continues to be a really well written and fun book. There are some good character moments even from the villains and Luke Cage and Iron Fist continue to work really well off each other. Its a little wild but still a great story from start to finish.

The Red Hood Rebirth Issue really surprised me when it first came out but then it really got my hopes up for the start of the series and this first issue lives up to the hype as well. Scott Lobdell continues to make Jason Todd a very interesting and compelling character and Black Mask is introduced in this issue and he appears to be a very intriguing character as well. The cover is a little misleading but I'm very interested in reading on.

I like the back and forth between Red Hood and Artemis. They appear to be making a pretty entertaining duo. There wasn't a whole lot more information on the Black Mask but I remain pretty engaged with this story that continues to really work for the people who don't know anything about Jason Todd.

This issue feels a lot like the show. It has a little bit of inspiration from Alien but a lot of the show also creates their own plot points inspired by films. The humor works a little better this time around too. A really fun issue overall.

A very original story and introducing a truly epic scale Saga remains heavily inspired by other works but still so original on its own. The book takes its time and sets up what will likely be an interesting and lengthy conflict.

More interesting creatures are introduced and this universe continues to get bigger and bigger and the struggle of the protagonists gets more and more complicated.

The story continues to build. Art remains good and the characters continue to build. I'm moving at a slow pace but I'm getting there.

Good book that gets readers up to date with Silk's backstory if you didn't follow Spider-Verse or the events that led up to it. It also establishes what Cindy Moon wants to do with her life now that she has been freed. Spider-Man appears and their chemistry is solid once again. The villain isn't really memorable but for this issue it didn't really matter.

Robbie Thompson continues to do a great job with Silk. He's just as good as creator Dan Slott was in the Amazing Spider-Man series. This issue is mostly just some more information on Cindy trying to get familiar with a world that has moved on without her in the past 10 years. I like the story of her trying to find her parents and hopefully it will all work out for her in the end as she is a very love able character.

This book remains very simple and fun. Silk's story is very reminiscent of Spider-Man's but its still just different enough to be fresh. Squaring off against an established villain is awesome and we do get to see a little more light coming to Cindy's past.

Cindy is really continuing to establish herself as a cute but troubled character. The appearance of the Fantastic Four and Spider-Man elevates this book and I hope to see more development into the relationship between Silk and Johnny Storm. Dates in comics always seem to work for me.

I'm really glad to see Miles Morales in 616 and this book is another really easy book to approach for anyone who wants to read comics. Brian Michael Bendis is one of Marvel's best writers on a consistent basis. Peter Parker's Spider-Man appears in this issue so its easy to understand that there are two Spider-Men now and the story is just all around fun with the Avengers involved and solid dialogue.

This is the best issue of this series too date. The idea of Deadpool and Spider-Man just hanging out really works and it winds up being quite humorous and fun with Thor getting in on the action as well. Things get serious in the last few frames though and it leave me hanging for the next issue.

Great start, with all the classic characters we love getting a little moment to shine. Despite not being an overly long issue #1 seems to be stuffed full of content with lots of potential to go further.

This series continues to impress while balancing several storylines and some thoughtful character. It seems that each of our favorite characters get a second to shine in this issue.

A start to a new arc. You can't get off to a better start than getting Emperor Palpatine involved. There is also a great character moment for Luke as well as he and Leia go to Tatooine, where he hasn't been since the death of his aunt and uncle. Great start to a new story.

A well drawn and well written issue. This arc has felt a lot like the Empire Strikes Back with Leia and Han off on their own adventure while Luke does some more discovering of his force abilities. The story may only get more interesting when two other characters we love will enter the mix.

This issue is mostly an action issue but my heart was racing through the whole story. The art in this whole crossover may be the highlight of what is probably the most memorable moment of all the Star Wars comics so far.

I'm enjoying the pairing of Sana, Aphra and Princess Leia. There were always an absence of female Star Wars characters and its nice to see some new ones getting some more attention. Luke and Han's story appears to be a bit slower moving but I'm still very interested.

9.0
Star Wars (2014) #20 Dec 19, 2016

The Star Wars title has continues to provide just the right amount of classic and new. This issue follows an interesting group of Stormtroopers and it is consistently interesting with a villain that will probably be one of the best in the comic so far. The reveal of Sgt. Kreel is one of the coolest we've seen.

I enjoyed the hell out of this issue. I think that the space battles have been absent from this comic for the most part. It does an excellent job of tying in to the canon with a few cool reveals for hardcore fans and its great to see Luke, Han and Leia all together for another big adventure. It'll be interesting to see where this goes.

This is a very enjoyable issue. All the classic heroes are involved and they all work toward one common goal. The showdown between Luke and Kreel should be an interesting one.

This issues starts to bring Yoda back to the character we know so well from the movies. There are several really cool points hidden in this story. Yoda's willingness to learn more about the force has been a key theme to this arc so far and you continue to see that. I also really liked that the story has now been tied back to Obi Wan and the journal entry is starting to make a little more sense.

I still don't like the faces of the characters in some spots but this is a good issue that shows an alternative way of looking at Luke and Leia. You can see the bond they have built since the events of the first film and they reveal that even though they have a very different upbringing they are still pretty similar.

Jason Aaron is out and Kieron Gillen is in and his first issue on the main Star Wars line is impressive. I'm glad that they are starting to bring back some of the Rogue One characters and further establish them as characters in the Star Wars universe. I also enjoyed the look into what happened with Jedha after the Death Star attacked it.

Another great issue. Luke, Leia and Han are all together again and the writing is very loyal to their characters. I'll take any of the information about Jedha that I can get. There is a hint towards the Rogue One crew and the conflict that is beginning to get underway appears to be worthy of Star Wars.

The highlight is a really cool flashback between Leia and her dad, but this arc continues to be consistently good

I'm enjoying that this series continues to slide towards the Empire Strikes Back. Luke is continuing to learn more about his path to become a Jedi and this mission is one where the stakes are pretty high. There isn't as much tie in to Rogue One this time, but its still cool.

Great character issue. There are good moments shared between Leia and Luke then Han and Chewie as well. We see more of a transition into Empire Strikes Back as Han's leadership qualities begin to build. Finale should be coming next. Seeing Luke refer to Jyn Erso warmed my heart too.

Typical engaging Star Wars adventure with a few interesting moments. With both the Vader series and this one also exploring Mon Cala its nice to see two series that are work so well together. The reveal at the end of this issue makes me curious about how this will resolve.

More fun Star Wars adventure. Gillen has really got a good grasp on the characters right now. Especially Han Solo, who continues to shine in this book. It should bring an interesting conclusion with the next issue.

Mostly an action issue, but there is a good character moment for a character who has been built over the course of this arc.

Exciting issue, from Luke's side of the story as well as Leia's. It should be leading to an interesting conclusion in the next issue.

A good end to Kieron Gillen's run on the Star Wars title. There was an unexpectedly cool tie in to one of the movies that I really enjoyed. Now it looks like we are moving a bit closer to Empire.

The art is the best its been in a long time. Looking forward to seeing more of the C-3P0/Chewbacca, team up.

Cool issue, all the stories seem to be strengthening. I love to see Chewie bravery in this issue.

This annual issue works really well as a stand alone story. This book may be one of Gillen's best books in the Star Wars universe yet. The spy element is very cool and the whole story just feels like a secret agent movie set in the Star Wars universe. The Emperor also has a decent sized role in this book as he has still remained absent from most of the comics outside of a few cameos in a few Darth Vader comics.

I've enjoyed both Star Wars annuals so far. The new character Pash is an interesting one and I hope that they decide to use her in the next arc. There is some more depth to Leia's motivation as a princess and a rebel while also giving us some solid artwork.

Nice to have these annual issues have a solid beginning middle and end. Its a great pick up for someone who wants to read a Star Wars story without all the baggage that comes with regular numbered issues. Explores the force surrounding a lightsaber, would've been nice to see all these characters come together for a moment at the end, but still really fun issue.

An interesting start to this crossover with great art. It felt a lot like the movie Crimson Peak o me. I think pairing Luke and Aphra could be an interesting move. The environment is great.

The best issue of this series so far. Its simple because it is aimed at little kids but its Star Wars through and through. Its got some heart and its got a classic story featuring Luke and Leia. This is a great book for anyone. I continue to be impressed with the quality behind this series so far.

This line has made me a fan of Hondo. Very fun classic Star Wars fun.

A rare comic set between Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. An origin story behind Princess Leia's Boushh disguise, with a couple of other classic characters in the mix as well.

Very loyal to the Han Solo character and it covers the days after the destruction of the Death Star when Han is still insistent that he's going back to his old smuggler ways.

Great issue that showcases some of Lando's heart. This story adds more meat to the decision he makes to betray Han Solo in favor of Cloud City, its a world that he's struggled to keep alive and he's refused to give it up. Lobot is a welcome addition to this book as well.

Don't get too power drunk when Darth Vader is around. That's all I'll say.

Interesting area for this comic to take place. I do like that it develops Rey's relationship with Leia, which was limited in the first two sequel trilogy movies.

The bond between Paige and Rose is strengthened, making her loss in The Last Jedi a lot stronger. Also a pretty good moment for Leia in here too.

Very cool to see the comparison between Kylo Ren and Vader in this comic. I'm sure some will be disappointed with this story because it doesn't offer much of the backstory into the character that fans crave, but its a great look into Ren's obsession with Vader.

This one shot is limited in the story it can tell but Qui-Gon's character remains loyal to the character we know from The Phantom Menace. A good start to a series of one shots I was highly anticipating.

These issues continue to be capable of not just focusing on the titular character, but also a secondary character as well. Its interesting to see Jango serving as a mentor to his son since that just hasn't been something we've seen in film form.

Anakin's story is very loyal to the character. Once again there is a lot to like with these short stories.

I really hope we learn more about Dooku sometime soon. He's been very underserved in new canon thanks to a disappointing amount of media in the prequel era. Seeing him as a Jedi was cool as well. I hope we hear more about his bond with Qui Gon as well since his death probably had a big influence on his turn to the dark side.

I am more impressed with this issue than I expected this book covers a lot of the rage inside Maul and some of the conflict that has already started to blossom between Palpatine and Maul. It turns out that he may be a more interesting character than I though.

Darth Maul issue 3 is a treat for Star Wars fans. A Sith and Jedi teaming up is interesting, Cad Bane has some great moments and there is a lot of conflict going on inside the characters. I hope that the rest of the series on this momentum. This next issue should be the peak.

A great end to a comic I really enjoyed. We haven't gotten a opportunity to see a duel like this very often in the comics. This book ties in very nicely to the Phantom Menace and you see that he has become the villain we see him as in that film. A great final scene with Palpatine tops the whole thing off.

I've been somewhat disappointed with the Darth Vader comic outside of that really great Vader Down crossover but this annual works really well as essentially a stand alone issue. You don't have to know what happened in the last 3 arcs to be able to enjoy this story. Its basically got its own beginning middle and end. Its a great book to pick up if you are looking to a small taste of this series to see if you like it. Hopefully they can keep it up though.

Great kick off issue with some really solid art. Charles Soule shows us some scenes that we were never able to witness in the films. I always enjoy seeing lots of Palpatine in these comics and this may be the most attention he gets. Vader's trial to truly become a Sith lord looks like it could be one of the best Star Wars comics so far.

I don't know if any comic in the new canon has depicted Darth Vader so well. Vader is just a complete badass in this issue. You can see his heart start to turn black in this book and he is about as brutal as it gets. Great issue.

Great issue. Vader still feels a little bit of conflict and we are able to see how divided he is in this comic and that he may have had more options then we think when we meet him in A New Hope. This is a comic all fans should be reading.

I'm not a huge fan of Rebels I'm about 2 season behind right now so this issue proved to be quite informative for me. It gave me a good look into how the Inquisitors work and how Vader came to be the leader of them. Its definitely a good issue to read if you're not following Rebels.

Charles Soule continues to completely ace this Vader story. Vader himself has a bit of a limited role but the characters that make up the ensemble are really fun too. This serves a bit of connecting tissue so far, but Vader will be in on the action soon.

The battle is in full swing and feels very cinematic. Charles Soule shows some interesting elements of Mon Cala and their people. Vader has his usual badass moments and this series continues to consistently astonish me.

A surprisingly vicious issue. Vader is still as badass as it comes and he seems to be getting more and more evil with each issue.

It has a bit of a slow start, but when issue 23 picks up there is some great reveals.

I've become a fan of Chuck Wendig's work over the past few years and I was impressed by this larger issue. It focuses on some of the key figures in the Empire and the dog eat dog characteristics they have. Its all a quest for power and rivalry is certainly present. There is a lot of great tie in to Rogue one which is always welcome.

Issue number 3 builds a bit on the relationship between Aphra and her father as well as their current mission. There is a pretty lengthy action scene with Black Krrsantn that shows how much of a threat he can be when he is not mismatched. There is also a nice little Rogue One tie in for the people who have seen that film. I like the direction this is going.

Probably my favorite issue of this arc. Aphra finds her whole plan turned backwards on her and it looks like it is going to lead into a pretty interesting conclusion based on the reveal we got in the end.

One of the best Triple 0 issues yet. There are a surprisingly large amount of stakes. Forcing Aphra and 000 back together again could never be a back idea.

Fun issue with a cool twist. At first it doesn't even really feel like an Aphra story, but its a great book to start with if you aren't familiar with her as a character.

Star Wars Han Solo appears to be a great addition to the Star Wars canon. It explains some of the motivations that Han had after Return of the Jedi if you are familiar with his choices from the canon novels and its just a fun read. Han solo is drawn very well as he has been since the comic books started.

This is a lot going on in this comic but it still find it very clean. It feels like there is a bit of an inspiration coming from The Thing and I'm enjoying the bond that Han is building with another one of the racers.

A very solid finish to a consistent great book. The finale to the Dragon Void is worth all the hype with some great character moments with Han. The finale had me guessing until the very end.

A very approachable comic book for the fans of Star Wars Rebels. This book jumps back in time to a young Kanan during the Clone Wars. The dialogue is great and the characters are interesting. Surely we will learn more about Kanan's struggle before the first episode of Rebels. His master appears to be very interesting in this issue. Hopefully it will carry on.

I think this Kanan comic is going to be very unpredictable. Kanan goes through a shocking loss so early in this series and it does add a bit more interesting commentary on the Order 66 event that wiped out nearly all the Jedi. Kanan now has to do what ever he can to make it through.

The content in this series has been consistently important. It adds more and more depth to the Kanan that we already know from the Rebels show. I'm no board with his character and he is continuing to transform into the character we know so well.

A new arc starts off with a flashback that travels even further back in time. This explains the beginning of the relationship between Kanan and his Master. It explains the conflict that she has to carry with her and Kanan everyday struggle to become a Jedi. There are also some noticeable appearances from some of the more notable Jedi Masters.

This was a really fun issue. Charles Soule is really a veteran when it comes to comics and rarely makes a bad one. Lando is the exact character that we want him to be. He looks like Billy Dee Williams and its really cool to get an opportunity to see what is relationship was like with Lobot. The final reveal is priceless for a book that could have a lot of humor injected in as well.

Double or Nothing may actually tell us more about young Lando than the Solo movie did. This issue is mostly just setting up the series, while having a really good grasp on Lando. This issue gets a big thumbs up and will hopefully be a start of a great series.

I thought this was a great issue that gives fans a great look into Mace Windu as a leader. Windu struggles with the thought of going to war even though he is going to one of the Jedi that are relied on to lead the Republic to victory. He surrounds himself with some characters that could be pretty interesting too. Not much action so far but it will come.

Another smooth issue considering it takes place in two different time frames. The present day story is a little bit more interesting this time around and there is some foreshadowing for Anakin's turn to the dark side while there is still a lot of good in him. There is some more backstory into Anakin's relationship with Chancellor Palpatine teasing the relationship that the two will have later on down the line.

I really enjoyed the kick off of Poe Dameron's standalone comic. Charles Soule does a great job of creating a story that I believe will eventually tie in with the beginning for The Force Awakens. There are appearances from several characters that we already know and it will hopefully give us more information about some of the characters from the knew movie that didn't get quite as much attention. Poe Dameron is portrayed beautifully. It feels like Oscar Isaac is actually there acting him out and the character remains as likeable as ever. The artwork is really good too and may ever be the highlight of the whole issue.

One of the better issues of this series so far. One issue is that Captain Phasma is on the cover and she doesn't appear in the comic at all but a great final battle between Poe and Terex is great while the space battle is some of the best the series has to offer. An appearance from Mister Bones was great for all the canon fans too. This is classic Star Wars here.

Phil Noto is out as artist and I was surprised that I didn't miss him. Poe still looks as good as ever. Its nice to see General Leia getting a little spotlight in what feels like a bit of a tribute to Carrie Fisher and finally we get some Captain Phasma after months of teasing. I hope to see more of her in this book because she's impressive.

Issue 17 kicks off a new arc that should be appetizing to new readers. They bring back some characters that have been neglected over the past few months and reintroduce them just in case you've forgotten about them. The art is still stellar and this comic looks to be going in a great direction for now.

This title continues to creep towards the events of The Force Awakens. Lor San Tekka is looming. I'm hoping to get some more info about Luke out of him but I know that the timeline of The Force Awakens makes that a little more difficult. This looks like the start of an interesting arc and I'm hoping to learn more about San Tekka too because he got so little screen time in the movie.

A typical fun Star Wars adventure. I'm still interested to see how the comic will carry on past The Force Awakens because we are certainly nearing that time. Poe and BB8 have some fun moments and its just a great story for a Star Wars fan. Soule just seems to be getting better and better.

A pretty tense issue that will likely lead to a pretty cool conclusion. We are really at the point where The Force Awakens is nearing and we will meet the film in the next issue. I'd expect the next book to tie in to the film directly and I can't wait.

An entertaining issue that blows the first annual out of the water. Its a great standalone mission, with plenty of characters that we love.

There are a lot of Vader comics out there now, but I do think this one looks like it has an interesting story to tell. It does a quick and easy job of setting up the group and there are some pretty cool Vader moments.

A fun and easily digestible Star Wars adventure. If you are looking for any cool tidbits regarding The Last Jedi you aren't going to get anything great. The art is a little inconsistent in spots, but I prefer it over the current Star Wars artist

I'm sure some people feel these adaptations aren't really necessary, but fortunately this issue adds a lot of fresh thoughts to the story. He get a lot more of what is going on in Luke's head and it could offer a different perspective on the film for those who didn't really like it that much. Its off a great start.

All it takes is a little extra Luke Skywalker content for me to enjoy this issue. I'm glad that Gary Whitta was able to stray a bit and put his own spin on this story. I thought the last hour of The Last Jedi is one of the best in the whole saga. Its pretty effective in comic form too.

I haven't completed the Thrawn novel yet but this whole issue is stuff I've already read before. I'm still really glad to have this story complimented by visuals. Thrawn looks great and its nice to finally have a visual in mind when reading about Eli Vanto. Its obviously a brief summary of the book, but still a very fun one.

Very interesting kick off issue to a anthology of stories I've really been looking forward to. Darth Vader may be seen as one of the most evil characters in the history of fiction, but there are some people in the galaxy that don't see Vader that way. If you like Vader at his most badass this is a comic for you.

It appears that some people have found this issue to be a bit controversial, for me I thought it was a very interesting character study that is relevant in the real word. There are many people who are attracted to the most brutal and vicious people alive. I'm sure this woman who thinks she's in love with Darth Vader is not the only person in the galaxy who feels that way.

Another excellent Rebirth one-shot. Suicide Squad Rebirth is probably a bit of an effort to get people in the theater to see the film adaptation on opening weekend and it does do its job. This issue is a great introduction to Amanda Waller who appears to be a bad ass. We learn a lot about Rick Flagg as well. The actual Suicide Squad do take a bit of a backseat but it works. There is a great scene between Waller and the president to kick off the issue and the action and story are great. I recommend this issue to anyone who is interested in the new movie.

Now that Peter Parker has turned to the Spider-Man story. Just not as Spider-Man but as a ghost I find this issue more enjoyable than number one. Otto begins to steal some aspects of Peter Parker's personal life. It is not a action packed issue but its cool to see the new developments between the new "Peter Parker" and MJ. The one downside is the art. Its fine but I'm just not loving it.

Issue 5 doesn't go any further with the reveal that we see in the last addition but it is still a very cool issue. Otto Octavius proves his genius once again and his personality gives us a whole new twist on Spidey. There is an event that really blurs the line between a hero and a villain.

There are somethings that are cool about Otto Octavius' Spider-Man but the downside of this new character is that he is virtually unlikeable. It comes to a crescendo in this issue with lots of conflict. Many of which are characters we know.

One of the most interesting issues to date. Issue 8 shows a far more compelling Spider-Man with some much needs evolution from Otto Octavius. Cardiac continues to be a very interesting character as well.

Another solid issue with a few more appearances from some of the classic characters that Spidey fans love. I though maybe this series wouldn't work now that Peter Parker has been completely banished from his own body since the last issue but I still found this issue to be a lot of fun. A battle with a familiar foe seems to be on the way.

This is a pretty good little self contained issue. It furthers the Superior Spider-Man story without belonging to a overall arc. Spider-Man's conflict as well as Peter Parker's (Otto Octavius') conflict remain interesting as a whole.

This was a great jumbo issue to wrap up a pretty solid story arc for the Superior Spider-Man. This story is starting to wind down. More people are beginning to notice that Spider-Man is not himself. The Avengers make a great appearance against the Superior Venom. There is more story told about this slowly developing Goblin Underground. They must be squaring off with Spidey soon. Its been a long wait so hopefully its a good payoff.

Finally the hammer is beginning to come down and the showdown between the Superior Spider-Man and the Green Goblin is upon us. The Superior Spider-Man continues to have many doubts in his abilities as he has finally met his match. Spider-Man 2099 also appears but thankfully he doesn't take up too much space.

This story manages to get the whole Kent family involved in a fight against the Eradicator. Its one of those stories that gets you fired up. There are just so many moments that work so well because the characters have been so well established at this point in the series.

This is another great Superman issue that continues to show that this is one of the strongest titles in DC Rebirth. Its a good finale to the arc but its what comes after the defeat of the Eradicator that I enjoyed so much. Jon Kent has become a very good character and it ends with him getting some recognition for his efforts. The art is really well done too. Superman looks as good as the character ever did.

Based on Joe Hill's failed revival of the Tales from the Darkside tv show. This kicks off a collection of self contained stories in the horror genre. Its obviously heavily influenced by the horror books in years past but the comic is fun and a quick read for anyone who doesn't want to follow a full arc. I'll likely demolish the rest of this miniseries.

Teen Titans #1 picks up exactly where the Rebirth one shot left off. Damien Wayne gets to be a main attention this time around after a very small appearance in the one shot. Damien Wayne is very well introduced to people who are unfamiliar with him. Its easy to tell that his version of Robin is completely different from Tim Drake's Robin.

At first I was worried that there was going to be no dialogue in this comic at all. The silent lone silent character does work for the first half in order to establish the work he lives in. Rick Grimes is a well crafted character so far who will certainly make a great hero in the coming issues.

Issue 2 does more to set up the universe in The Walking Dead. Most of the guidelines that you associate with regular zombie projects apply but I've enjoyed Rick as a character to this point and I feel like I could follow him anywhere. There is a nice heartwarming reveal in the last frame and we will likely see more characters in the next issue.

The story continues to develop beautifully in The Walking Dead issue three. When the book is all black and white the story has to be really strong and it is just that. There are more characters introduced and the new way of life the characters must live is shown.

This issue takes some more time to establish more of the characters now that we know a bit more about Rick and his family. Once we get to know all the people at the camp the zombies strike and someone has to die.

This issue feels like it has so much content for a book that is as short as it is. I don't mean that in a bad way either. We meet a whole group of new characters. There is a lot of drama going on in Rick's family after Carl got shot but there is also a lot more moments with some of the supporting characters that don't always get that much attention. I'm glad we are finally starting to get some depth from them.

It seemed to be more of an action issue through the first half as the first 15 pages contain a lot of Rick and Tyrese fighting zombies but I find their new potential home (a prison) to be really interesting and when they find what is actually inside there at the ending I'm even more interested.

This issue provides a lot of insight. There are a lot of good quotes that really hit hard in this issue. The one problem I have is that there might be a little two much going on at once and the crew are trying to deal with 2 or 3 big issues all at once. The next issue should be a good one.

A book that brings in a very different character that is bound to impress later on. Rick also hits a big dilemma after he made some pretty big decisions for the group in the last couple of issues.

Just another day in the life of the group. There is a cool moment with Axel. A scene that feels very cinematic. The rest of the issue is pretty great too. Just furthering the adventure.

This issues adds a little more depth to one of the characters that we met in the last couple issues. Sometimes it takes a little long to establish some of the characters in this book but this one takes off almost immediately. There is also a lot more drama going on around the prison that adds to the interest.

The reveal in the last issue is further perused but there still aren't quite any answers. There are some moments between several characters that will certainty cause drama later on as well as some original direction for this series.

This issue appears to be introducing a character that may be the first true villain in this comic. I guess it depends on whether you consider Shane to be a villain or not. We get some information regarding the people who crashed the helicopter and this arc looks like it may really set sail in the coming issues.

This issue returns to life in the prison rather than continue with the story that is going on in the other community. I don't know if I really support that idea but the book still gives us a pretty interesting ride. There is a cut back to the governor for the last few frames.

This issue may be a little gross for some fans but its nice to see the Governor finally get what he deserves. Revenge is very sweet this time around.

This issue is mostly about the groups journey back to the prison. However the reveal at the end of the comic just blew me away. It wasn't anything I was ever expecting. I feel that they may have to find some way to reverse it but I'm still interested. There is a rare back story here as well form some characters that we haven't seen in dozens of issues.

The group gets up to date about what happened while they were captured. The new characters start to find their place in their new environment, but it looks like the Governors group may not be done with them yet.

This issue kicks off with a flashback with a story was starting to think wouldn't be revisited again. Now that Lori is close to giving birth she has some doubts about her baby and Rick is about to hear the news. There is also a group that must leave the prison again in order to defend themselves against the future attack.

This issue has a lot of drama going on at once. Lori's birth should be enough to take up at least a whole issue but we get some more suspense as well. Although the birth went pretty smoothly things may get rough soon.

The very tense moment that was teased in the last issue doesn't really quite reach the level you'd expect. There is even a time jump in this issue which has been very rare. Things have gone well for the group over the past 2 weeks. Its about time something turned them around.

Good issue. Theres some weird moments with Carol that make some great moments that almost feel cinematic. This series just continues to consistently impress me.

The Titans Rebirth one shot was my favorite of all the one shots so I was kind of disappointment to see that this series was only coming monthly. This series is one of the few books that have a direct tie in with the Universe Rebirth issue. Wally West remains a focal point and he remains very enjoyable and we learn a bit more about why Wally disappeared in a twist ending that I can't wait to learn more about.

The new villains are certainly interesting enough seeing as the Titans are fighting themselves, only the younger versions. There is not a lot of description given about this whole situation yet but it will likely come soon. I continue to really really like this title.

I think I'm getting more enjoyment out of this Titans series than anyone else is. Since I've been following most of the Rebirth books I like that this is one of the few stories with any tie in to the first Universe Rebirth. Wally West has been such a great character to this point.

I still feel like this book is a lot better than people are giving it credit for. I've really enjoyed Wally West to this point and the bond all the characters share is just so real. The ending of this issue really sets the stage for an ending that should be really great. Even the villain who is kind of cheesy impressed me.

Wally West has been really shining in all the issues of the series so far but this issue its even more obvious. This is Wally's issue and the character gets a lot of exploration over the course of such a short issue. The conflict is great and it has a perfect amount of character development and action.

I thought this issue was great. Focusing more on a team run by Old Man Logan sounds great to me. The Weapon X team looks like it will take a while to come together but I was interested by the villains as well as the possible team.

Alias #1 is going to be a slow burn but its very intriguing. The first issue get the reader hooked to Jessica Jones without revealing much about her past outside of the fact that she is a former hero. Luke Cage makes an appearance which is cool. Alias is probably never going to feel like an action packed comic but the art is really cool and really sets the tone of the story. Its essentially an R rated comic book.

Another really good stand alone issue. This book really just stands on its own and you don't have to read any other issues before this to enjoy it. The issue is basically composed of two conversations one between Jones and Luke Cage and one between Jones and Scott Lang. Both are great and the art is as great as it has been for the whole series.

This issue of All New Captain America takes you a long distance but it doesn't feel unnecessarily far. This series has felt like a film like very few comics I have seen to this point. This issue involves a lot of emotion. It really shows that Sam Wilson is just as worthy of the name Captain America as Steve Rogers is. He shows that he cares deeply for mankind and his friend Rogers. Zemo remains solid again in a villain role and the back half of this arc seems to be headed in a very interesting direction.

Another Original Sin tie in that fits into the Spider-Man series perfectly. There is a little more development into the relationship between Silk and Spider-Man and the Black Cat and Electro show that they make a good team. They really mean business in this issue with a powerful ending that will likely be bait for the next issue but you never really know.

This book serves as the begining to the Spider-Verse story but still focuses mainly on Peter Parker and there is even a small appearance from Miles Morales. The secondary issue is fine but the main issue is awesome. All these Spider-Men in one place and its kind of an overload of characters but it works because Peter Parker is as confused as we are. Its also a pretty funny issue.

The first issue of Aquaman really takes you pretty far considering the length of the comic. The story is somewhat political but those elements remain very simple. The action comes later in the issue and it delivers as well. So far Aquaman is one of the more impressive Rebirth titles.

I'm sure plenty of people will find the concept of this issue to be kind of stupid but I really enjoyed it. The X-Men's training facility develops a mind of its own and turns against them. I thought it was awesome. Kitty Pride has some great moments with this mystery villain while the main X-Men try to free her. There's a pretty cool reveal at the end too. I loved it.

Another awesome issue! I really enjoy this new Danger Room villain as she appears to provide such a challenge for the X-Men. I'm also really excited for the showdown that looks like it is coming in the next issue.

Kitty Pryde continues to be my favorite character in this series. Whedon really understand her character and he manages to make her one of the most bad ass that I have ever read. The issue is comprised of Kitty searching for her son? Maybe or maybe not. There is some more development with the Hellfire club and an awesome twist to end the issue. This arc continues to improve issue by issue.

After the whole series has had appearances from Ord the Breakworld we finally get a chance to see the Breakworld and the ruler of their world in issue #19. Whedon appears to be setting up a showdown between the Breakworld and the X-Men. Kitty Pryde remains awesome as more cracks begin to show between her and Colossus. Unstoppable appears to be a great kick off to Joss Wheddon and John Cassady's final arc of Astonishing X-Men.

More awesome action. More great comedy between characters. More great art. More great hooks in the finale. More Astonishing X-Men please.

The first few pages are a little wacky and its not a very good way to start. I know some moments in this arc can be up for interpretation but I found that moment to be really out of place but once you get back on board with the other 3/4s of the book it is excellent. Nightwing appears and Batman has some pretty big news for him. One of the best reveals in the arc.

Probably the pinnacle of the whole series to date. In what looks like the final arc of the series Ms Marvel is given her ultimate test which still feels insurmountable. She begins to doubt herself there's a pretty good ending teasing a team up in the next issue.

There is no Spider-Man in costume at all but this issue just works. Throwing Ms Marvel in there is a reall treat because she and Miles are about the same age and Bendis writes her very well. The appearance of Miles' crazy grandmother really takes me back to my young days. It even shows some character from Miles' dad which doesn't always come from characters like him. It didn't need all the punching and kicking it was so well written.

I like the dialogue and snappy quips from the unlikely group of women that are forced to be allies. I find the villain very mysterious and I wouldn't be shocked if he is revealed to be a character that we know. This arc should come to a very interesting end due to the reveal we get at the end.

Damn good book. The best Vader issue yet. He doesn't have a big part to play but the action is just about to reach a pinnacle. Vader can handle dozens of Rebels with ease and Luke's struggle to get back into the action is great as well. There is also a very cool moment here between Han Solo and Leia that shows how deeply Han cares for Luke and that Leia sometimes gets carried away with the greater good and forget about her friends.

These last couple issues of Superior Spider-Man has really helped me buy into the new Spider-Man (Otto Octavius). This new twist on the character has allowed a darker more violent Spidey that managed to make an ally of J Jonah. There is a great conflict between the new Spider-Man and the Vulture which maybe doesn't end like one would think.

The issue is more action packed. We get to learn a little more about the characteristics of the zombies. We learn a bit more about the supporting characters as well. This issue is fun but it also has a pretty big reveal that will certainly start some problems between the partners Shane and Rick.

The first arc of the Walking Dead wrapped up beautifully and this new arc kicks off almost as well. The group are now trying to move on to a new camp. New and interesting characters are introduced there is great dialogue between the new character and Rick. Then there is a pretty big bomb dropped to wrap up the issue.

Lots of great new content in this issue. The book feels like its got 50 pages with of story but the page count is actually under 25. Rick and Tyrese start out investigating some of their new home with some new characters getting a little backstory. The ending came a little out of the blue but it still really shocked me and it looks to be setting up a pretty interesting story in issue 15.

We get to learn a bit more about this new villain the Governor. This guy is about as bad as it gets. Rick once again shows why is the leader of this crew and things may get a little disturbing in the next couple issues as its hard to know if they are going to get out alive or not.

What an awesome issue! This book continues to be a great character study of the awesome Jessica Jones. Each issues builds more onto her mystery as a woman and a former hero. There is a great conversation between her and a detective that adds a lot more depth to her character. There are also some appearances by some of Marvel`s more noticeable characters. Brian Michael Bendis writes his best issue to date.

This arc has been very interesting to this point and this may be the best issue of the whole story. It is very dramatic and cinematic. There is a very long monologue from a new character that provides about 4 or 5 issues worth of depth in one 22 page issue. There is a pretty dramatic turn at the end as well.

The team up with Jessica Drew really works in this issue of Alias. Not only is her relationship to J Jonah Jameson revealed finally but there is a bit of humanity shown to JJ as well. Not something you see very often. Everything should wrap up pretty nicely in the next issue.

Another really great issue as the icing on the cake of a really good arc. This book actually has a bit more action than most of the other issues. There are quite a few scene changes and several really memorable discussions between Jessica Jones and her allies. With some foreshadowing towards her origin which is coming in the next issue.

This issue show even more about how Jessica Jones became who she is today. I do wish that this story would last a little longer so we good get a bigger taste of what made her quit crime fighting but its definitely cool to look back on the character before she was jaded.

This is one of the best issues in this series. Possibly the best. It shows the audience a lot about why Jessica Jones is the way she is and what Killgrave did to her when she was under his control. It is very different from the show but it still is really bad and it paints a great picture of how crazy and terrible the villain is. Its also a treat to have Luke Cage back as well. The happy looking Jewel story that gives some backstory or Killgrave is very cool as well. The art is so good.

Nothing more than greatness. There are plenty of classic Marvel characters involved in this issue but it still remains solely a Jessica Jones story and now that we have cleared up her rocky past you can't help but love her character. The change in art occurs again when Jean Grey enters Jessica's head and that really works as well. This may go down as the great arc in the series if Bendis can keep the quality up.

The tensions are very high and Jessica Jones is on the brink of going insane. We finally get to see Killgrave interact with her and a big event occurs in this issue that will almost certainly force the two together and things are really going to go down then.

The Killgrave finale doesn't really take as much time as I thought it would but this book has about as happy of an ending that a character like Jessica Jones can have. I have enjoyed this series so much all the way through I'm so happy that it was able to end on a pretty high note as well. THis is some of Brian Michael Bendis' best stuff.

The New Captain America and Nomad were in a pretty rough spot at the end of the first issue of the All New Captain America comic. There are appearances from several big villains, most notably Zemo and Crossbones. There are several huge and really surprising reveals throughout the whole story (including the ending). This conflict is the real deal and Rick Remender has done such a great job of hooking us with this new Captain American so quickly. It really feels like there is no way out for Sam Wilson.

Awesome issue. Peter Parker is back in his body and now its time for him to clean up his life again after Otto Octavius took over. Dan Slott proved with the last issue of Superior Spider-Man that he could write for Peter Parker and he does very well. All those extra issues in this book are icing on the cake. Some is worth reading so of its not but there appears to be a lot of fun to be had in this new Spider-Man series.

Another well written issue from Whedon. This story is going into all new territory for the X-Men and I just can't get enough of it. There's a great conversation between Nick Fury and Cyclops as well as a big confrontation between two major members of the X-Men. The cure continues to divide the mutants and I'm hooked.

Scott Snyder seems to just get Batman. Same with Capullo who creates such a great atmosphere for the character. There is a lot of mystery with this story and a few traits that we have never seen in Batman before. There are several moments in this Batman book we he is quite arrogant. I can't wait to read on and learn more.

This continues to really impress me. Scott Snyder continues to present one of the most ideal portrayals of Batman ever to grace a comic book page. Batman continues to put this case together piece by piece and even though the story moves very slowly it remains interesting through the whole read. The Court of Owls is real and Batman has no idea how he's missed them.

The Court of Owls are continuing to be a very interesting villain despite not really challenging Batman on a physical level yet. This is the World Greatest Detective at his best. Its cool to see Dick Grayson involved again and now we get to hear a bit more about the Court of Owls and why Batman has such an interest.

This is a kind of frightening and very anxious issue with Batman struggling in the maze. Its Bruce Wayne lost in his own mind and its so well done. Then the finale is completely terrifying.

Scott Snyder can't seem to give us any less than greatness with this Court of Owls book. I knew it was going to be good but its still completely surpassed by expectations. Batman is just on the verge of giving up in this issue. The Court of Owls have him virtually defeated. I can't believe this arc is going to end in one more issue.

This is a great original work. Its almost like an adult version of the Incredibles. The art really suits the dark and negative tone of the characters. The dynamic between these new characters really work too. All the characters even get introduced in a fairly simple manner and it feels like we know them well when the comic wraps up. I'm 100% immersed in this universe already.

Really fun issue. It is fairly self contained as pretty much stands on its own. Obviously the appearance by Cap Wolf is what makes the issue so fun. Doctor Malus served as a pretty cool villain. Both he and Misty Knight throw in some really good humor as well. The best book in the series so far in my opinion.

Its nice a nice treat to have one oversized issue cover one whole complete story revolving around many different characters. Deadpool is still undoubtedly the stand out of the comic thanks to some of the funniest lines I've seen in this series to date but seeing Daredevil, Luke Cage and Iron Fist show up too is fun. Check this out because this is comic readers comic.

This is the first Rebirth title I've read outside of DC universe Rebirth from 2 weeks ago and I was so impressed with comic. I like the thought of Batman forming a team. The art was great and the dialogue between characters was great. This comic mostly serves as a stepping stone for what is to come with Detective comics and it did it 100% right. I loved it!

Issue 939 covers a lot of bases. 3-4 character really get a chance to shine. The cover is a good representation of the issue as Tim Drake probably gets the most attention but there is also some great conversation between Batman and Batwoman. I thought this arc was maybe starting to run too long but it turns out its only getting better.

Very few times do I read a comic and want to read the whole book again immediately. This Rise of the Batmen arc has progressed so nicely to this point and this book is the true pinnacle of the arc. Tim Drake gets a lot of attention once again and the ending is tremendous and very emotional. The characters have their jaws on the floor and so will you.

This is a very good starting point for a new arc. The story really takes you pretty far without a lot of action. The fallout form Tim Drake's death is probably the strongest its been so far and there are several characters that are trying to move on without him. There are even a few moments that may provide some laughs. The Night of the Monster Men has ended and its time to get back to some classic Batman stories.

Another top notch issue from James Tynion IV. The art is killer and the story is something new to Batman. These new villains have an element of mystery especially the leader. I really like this concept and I think they are going to present some new challenges for Batman and his new army.

A very good origin issue for the man who will likely become the Phantom Lantern. I always appreciate villains that you can empathize with. Frank Laminski is going to be one of those characters. He's a man who spends his whole life waiting to be chosen and now he is forced to steal. I'm really looking forward to this story.

Sam Humphries continues to progress this story very naturally. I love this new villain character. He been very solid so far and he appears to have the upper hand on the other two real Green Lanterns. We keep learning more about what the Phantom Ring can do and now dangerous it really is.

There is a lot of story in this book considering there is only 19 pages of content. The dialogue is great. Brian Michael Bendis really knows how to write for Iron Man. It still feels like Robert Downey Jr is playing the character in the comic book. There is a really great appearance from Victor Von Doom. He may or may not be a good guy now, who knows? There isn't exactly a lot of action in this series yet. It almost feels like a detective story. I dig it.

What a great first issue. Jeff Steinberg: Champion of Earth gives a great introduction to our lead character while also providing a lot of humor. Comedy and Sci-Fi is always so hard to do right and this comic just aces it. Its like an alien invasion occurred in a Kevin Smith movie. The dialogue is really sharp and funny and the art really suits the tone that the concept needs. I really recommend this comic.

Another great mix of humor with a cast of great characters. Jeff Steinberg is not for everybody but I think this title might be the most perfect comic for me. Steinberg spends most of his time on Earth in this issue and it'll be interesting to see where this book will go. I have a lot of fun with it.

The plot continues to thicken and this comic is very well anchored in its timeline. It looks like it will actually have some hints towards The Rise of Skywalker when it hits theaters. Its starting to look like essential reading.

Ed Brubaker is one of the best comic book writers in the world. So when he comes up with a new idea for an Image comic I'm immediately interested. Kill or be Killed is a very well written book that gives us a lot of information into the new main character Dylan. This comic has a lot of content but the book just flies by because Brubaker's writing style just grabs right on to you. It gives you a look into the origin of this new character while also giving us a look into his current life. This book looks like its going to be violent fun. I can't wait for issue 2 so I can learn more.

I'm really digging this comic. I'm so impressed by it. I'm completely on board with the characters and a feel for the main character who still struggles with his new duty.

The fun continues with Ms Marvel #3. Ms Marvel must team up with Bruno's new girlfriend and they make up a pretty solid fun team. The issue is pretty universal and easy to read for any one. This book has been consistently great and wonderfully written.

An excellent book for new readers. This Rebirth title give us almost all the information that we need to know about Jason Todd's past. His early life, his relationship with Batman, his death by the hands of the Joker and his return as the Red Hood. Batman appears and he and Jason share some great scenes together as Todd reminisces and begins an all new adventure which has a lot of potential.

Really entertaining issue that completely delivers on the action. Wood is able to balance 4 storylines at once without short changing any of the characters. I want to see some more from Luke and Wedge bromance.

Great issue, its interesting now that we've seen Rogue One who the original man behind the Death Star is. I'm interested to hear more about him. This issue continues to be high octane all the way through. The Han and Boba story looks like it is finally going somewhere.

Brian Wood seems to have aced the Star Wars tone. There are a lot of things to love in this book. Wedge gets some attention for once and its just action packed from start to finish.

This is an incredible issue. There is so much going on but it still unfolds so smoothly. Luke is battling, Han and Leia are doing their thing and Chewbaca and Dengar are in a big showdown. Chewbacca really stands out as a bad ass in this issue and the ending is killer concluding on a classic one liner.

An excellent finale to a great arc. The Han Solo wife story was a little drug out but everything is finally resolved with that story and the characters all team up for a really cool showdown. Seeing Han, Leia and Chewie all wielding lightsabres is awesome. Plus, the art is killer.

The art is killer and the story remains top notch. Darth Vader still doesn't get enough attention but all the other characters are done so right. Triple Zero and BT have been so great in this book too.

A very exceptional Obi-Wan story. He's always been my favorite Jedi and this issue gives us a little more information about what Obi Wan was doing while he was in exile and it also explains why Owen Lars and Kenobi had some issues in A New Hope. The art is great, Obi Wan looks like a mix of Ewan McGregor and Alec Guinness.

Another great finale to a very solid Star Wars arc. The reveal of our villain actually hits pretty hard (only if you have read the earlier comics though). Luke and Han arriving in the last issue doesn't take away from the fact that this is primarily a Princess Leia story. Lets see where Jason Aaron could go from here.

This book is the Star Wars that I like to see in comic form. Its the Han Solo that we love from the original trilogy and you can tell that Jason Aaron is making some attempts to bridge the gap and develop the characters so they feel more natural when we hit Empire Strikes Back. This issue is fun and its the smuggling Han and Chewie that we haven't seen much of so far.

Cool issue that really asserts its position in canon where the Rebels continue to gain strength, but are still just slightly behind. We continue to creep towards Empire. Han and Leia really shine this time around and its cool to see Admiral Akbar is some spotlight as well.

I tend to love big issues just because of the extra content. I'm glad they stuck the background story at the end just to make everything clear. The issue is stuffed with classic characters. More Star Wars fun.

This issue is packed with lots of great fan service moments. Gillen really has a great grasp on these characters. Han Solo continues to shine with his writing. This issue is still keeping me on edge.

Han Solo facing off with Vader is one of the coolest moments I've seen in all of the comics. Gillen seems to have the best grasp on him as a character and he gets a lot of attention this time around. This is one of the best arcs in a while.

More fun Star Wars adventure. There is something so fun about seeing the full power of the Rebellion on display in one comic. This arc is shaping up to be an excellent one.

Amazing issue with top tier action. Vader gets a Rogue One style badass scene. There are some expected characters that get a chance to shine and I was on the edge of my seat through the whole read.

They stuck the landing. I can't wait to see what comes next.

Another great tee off issue. I love the change in artist that was probably overdue. Gillen continues to make great use of all the classic characters although there isn't a lot of conflict so far.

Not much action in this issue, but I'm really fascinated by this world and the characters who inhabit it. The whole thing feel like classic Star Wars, but I'm sure things are going to get wild pretty soon.

Another pretty quiet issue, but it makes up for it by developing the characters more. Luke appears to be getting restless, Han opens up to Leia about some things in his past and Leia seems to be going through her own struggles. Good read.

I've been fascinated by this new planet and the characters inside it. Plus its adding a lot more meat to Luke. Another great read.

What a great Star Wars comic! Its got all the characters that you want to see in a comic like this. Aphra, a character who I haven't loved all the time in the Vader comic is really great, probably the best she's ever been. This story is mostly a set up to the conflict but this is going to be an arc that really shows what Vader can do. All the characters are really well drawn. Its going to come down to Vader and hundreds of Rebels. What could be more exciting?

We got the much needed time jump and Charles Soule (my personal favorite Star Wars comic writer) takes over. This new timeline starts off great, filling in a gap in Empire Strikes Back. Lando and Luke shine in this book. Its cool to see where both of their heads were at during this time.

I really hope this is what we are in for with The Mandalorian. This comic stays true to George Lucas' original idea for Boba Fett, very similar to "man with no name" character from The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Its got a lot of western, gunslinger vibes.

Captain Phasma was massively underserved by the new trilogy, but in canon she's been developed as one of the more unlikeable, but well developed characters. This book stays loyal to the character that we know in the Phasma novel and its a great read if you'd like to know more about the character.

Very character rich issue with a lot of insight into a character that we really don't know that well from the movies. Finally nice to see Hux get a chance to shine in this story.

As much a Kylo Ren comic as it is a Snoke one, but I still really enjoyed the content offered here. It may not have the backstory on Snoke that fans crave, but its a very fulfilling read.

I haven't explored a whole lot of Darth Maul material outside of the films. This issue has a nice tie in to the previous miniseries featuring Darth Maul and another great character study for the character. This series continues to be able to do a lot with limited length.

Another short, but character driven story. Its a meaty one for both Anakin and Obi-Wan. This series is quickly becoming a favorite and Jody Houser proves to know the characters.

Another amazing story from the Vader Down arc. This might be the best Star Wars comic I've ever read. All Star Wars fans should be reading this book. This still has a bit of a shortage of Vader despite this being his stand alone title but a good Star Wars story is a good Star Wars story.

Charles Soule kicks off this new arc with a bang that covers both sides of the story. Vader's new enemy seems like a very interesting character but seeing the Empire in its early stages is quite a thrill as well. I hope that the rest of this arc can remain as engaging.

This is a Star Wars comic at its finest. The characters on both sides are actually really compelling. The Jedi in the story is classified as a bit of a villain. There are some great moments involving the Grand Inquisitor and obviously Vader's got his own badass moments as well. This continues to be my favorite current Star Wars series.

Incredible issue. It honestly feels like Charles Soule is getting stronger and stronger as this comic goes. Its brings an interesting end to this story and Darth Vader continues to evolve as he grows as a Sith. I love this comic.

Its still awesome. A great opening chapter to a new story. I had a pretty good guess of where this story was going to go and it met my expectations. Charles Soule is currently the strongest Star Wars writer and I look forward to seeing where he goes from now on.

More awesome Vader action. Charles Soule seems to have a great grasp on who this character is. There are some pretty key moments that play out in this comic. I've you've loved it to this point like I have you'll probably continue to love it.

Man this comic keeps getting better and better. Lots of characters that we early love and most importantly RADDUS! We finally get Vader teaming up with one of his known allies and we are focusing on Mon Cala after the main Star Wars line just explored the planet as well. Plus, the book gets off to a really cool start.

It starts off a bit slowly but really hits a high note with some cool reveals that are complimented even further by someone who reads the other Star Wars comics. I've come to expect nothing more than greatness from Soule and Darth Vader.

Another great story. This is even brings some more unity to the whole Star Wars saga. The stakes are high and still offers some expected twists and turns. I continue to absolutely love this series.

One of my favorite issues of a series that I've almost consistently loved. Tarkin and Vader sharing the spotlight for this one off story is a real treat. Its cool to see a smart man like Tarkin refer to Vader as essentially unstoppable. This could be the most badass that the character has been yet. Soule also remains very loyal to the Tarkin that has been displayed in the canon so far.

Awesome issue that is very well positioned in the current canon. I look forward to some more development between Vader and the world of Mustafar. I'm always interested in an appearance from Palpatine as well and this issue had a lot of him.

Another meaty character story for Vader. Its cool to see his castle finally starting to come together.

Very ambitious and cool issue. Momin makes for a very interesting new character. The plot continues to thicken in this arc.

This comic seems to be able to reach new levels with each issue. It keeps getting better and better. The dialogue is heavy, the stakes are high and I couldn't be more excited for the final issue.

Excellent way to cap off the best Star Wars comic series in new canon. A series of visions featuring several recognizable characters. Its almost as if Vader's dark side journey ends here. This was a must read series.

Lengthy issue, but it offers some really cool payoffs for several characters. A very impressive finale.

I thought this was an awesome issue. There were many things that were explored. Obi Wan explains some of the doubt that he had while training Anakin and his misunderstanding of the Jedi Order while there are some great moments between Anakin and a young girl that they met in the earlier issues. The flashbacks with Palpatine and Anakin on Coruscant are really enjoyable too.

Star Wars: Poe Dameron #8 Dec 19, 2016

It looks very possible that if the comic is going to continue after here that it will probably take place after The Last Jedi. Its a very informative issue giving us a lot more insight into Lorr San Tekka and it doesn't really interfere with the story of The Force Awakens. I would consider this comic a must read for a canon junkie.

Really well structured issue that is really an essential for any Star Wars reader. There is a lot of great canon filler in this issue including some great content that is featured post The Last Jedi, with Rey and Finn in tow. This arc is going to be an important one.

This arc continues to fill in some gaps regarding the things that we didn't see in The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. There is a wide assortment of characters that we love and it continues to fill up the canon beautifully.

"Its been an honor serving with you all" the best addition to the issue. There are so many little tidbits that Gary Whitta is able to add to this story that gives it his own little spin. Luke and Rey's similar origin, Leia's inner monologue during her near death experience. This is what an adaptation should be.

Lives up to the hype. The Rise of Kylo Ren does not hide reveals in its first issue. It starts off with a bang, but it still promising enough that you'll want to keep following closely. There's probably a great story to follow.

There's plenty of great content in this second issue. I'm definitely locked in to this story and Soule was the perfect writer to tell it.

Continues to be a very addictive read.

This is probably the best issue of this series so far. The issue is very emotionally charged and the conflict is immense. The book is a complete showdown inside the brain of Spider-Man.

I really didn't care for the first Run Goblin Run issue but I found this one to be near perfect. The situation is very tense, there are a few subplots that work alongside the main story. Superior Spider-Man is still the main characters but supporting characters are used heavily but effectively. The Green Goblin continues to loom over everything and it is just about time for a fight between the two.

The Goblin Nation arc has been building and building almost from the start of this series. Finally we are able to see a bit of good in the Superior Spider-Man as he know realized that he has failed. He was willing to do what it took for the greater good and the ending good not be any sweeter. I can't wait to wrap up this series with what could be the best issue yet.

The series finale of Superior Spider-Man is simply a love letter to Peter Parker. Its just a great tribute to the character and one of his finest hours. It wasn't really until this issue that I realizes how much I missed him. This whole series has so much to wrap up on but it still takes its time and devotes enough attention to each plot point to feel like a perfect ending. The fight between the Green Goblin and Spider-Man is solid, most of the main Avengers make an appearance, Spidey 2099 appears and his dynamic with Peter Park is awesome all the conflict between Mary Jane and Peter resolves. Most of all the tension between J Jonah Jameson and Spider-Man subsides and its ready to start anew in a new Amazing Spiderman title.

This is an ideal Superman book. I really like the relationship Superman has with his son. I like Jon a lot as a character as well. Superman is captured so well for this issue it may be a sign that Tomasi and Gleason are making one of the most classic portrayals of the character so far. The art is really cool again as well. The conflict appears to be getting bigger for the next issue but I still really enjoyed this simple story.

The best issues to date. After shit hit the fan in the last issue there is a lot of tension between Rick and Shane and their whole relationship comes to a climax. The issue ends and I have no idea where this comic could go from here. There are a million options.

Phenomenal issue from start to finish. Rick gets into a moral dilemma with one of his new friends. Can you really cure these zombies or do they all need to die. The dialogue is really well done as well as the action that comes later in the issue. I understand that the next issue will resolve an arc that has gotten better as its progressed.

The conflict between Rick and Hershel reaches its highest point in this issue. There wasn't a lot of zombies during this arc but bringing more depth to some of the supporting characters and adding a lot more drama continue to keep this series at an excellent level. The members of the group have to start a new life once again.

A book that allows several characters a chance to get out from the background. Rick story is still important and interesting but it doesn't take up the whole book like it often does. It shows a lot of people adjusting to life in their new home and one character learning to deal with the big reveal in the last issue.

The cover is a solid representation of what you will read in this book. There is some major drama and some hints about what may come in the story later on. The characters are beginning to become more familiar.

There continues to be a lot of drama going on inside this prison with plots to overthrow the authority and a whole event surrounding a man who killed two people. The Walking Dead cast of characters has never been in a worse hole than they are right now.

There are several really great moments in this comic. I very good monologue from Axel who wonders about the condition of the zombie is what it is like to be one of them. Tyrese has a lot of conflict which seems to be the trend lately. Now Rick and he, who are very good friends are currently up in arms.

The drama between friends Rick and Tyrese really gets to a boiling point in this issue. The whole issue is pretty much a big fist fight between the two characters. Some of dirty laundry gets released out in the open in front of several characters that had no idea. It really is starting to show that Rick isn't as cool of a head as we thought he was.

Rick's dive into insanity is now in full force. I think it was time for Rick to show a little more flaws. The character he was at the start of this series is now no longer in existence. His monologue that takes almost the whole back half of the story is very cinematic and well done but Kirkman.

The look into the personal life of the Governor was a very interesting and original take on a new villain. This guy is a completely terrible person but it is revealed that he is not always that way. This issue is one of the darkest in the series so far. I feel a little guilty for enjoying it so much.

Another excellent issue. It is finally revealed that Michonne is really a badass. Rick gets to know some of the better characters in this new community that will almost certainly come back with them when they get out. There is a lot more drama building as this issue comes to a close and I can't wait to see where the next issue takes us.

The action packed journey continues as the escaping prisoners try to find their way home. Michonne continues to show how bad ass she is. There is a shocking death that is really unfortunate. This story continues to be awesome but it still hasn't met its peak as the last frame teases a huge battle to come in the next issue.

This is an excellent issue. Rick continues to walk a think line between right and wrong. Even he can notice his development over the course of this story. There is a lot of interactions between the supporting characters too. Now that everyone has returned its time to do something new

Its taken like thirty issues but Lori finally tries to clear the air about her relationship with Shane before Rick came back. Its a really interesting moment for her and Rick. The journey in the RV gets a little more exciting too with this next issue with a few new reveals that could significantly impact the future of this series.

This starting arc to Titans has been one of my favorite arcs in the entire Rebirth. Once again Wally West is the center of attention for what will likely be the last time. His love for his friends and his former girlfriend make him effortlessly likeable.

What an amazing issue! I figured that Titans was going to be one of the duds of DC Rebirth but I could not get over how amazing this issue is. It is one of the few titles that directly tie in with DC Universe Rebirth and it does such a good job that you hardly even need to read DC Universe Rebirth to know what is going on. It's got a lot of emotions from Wally West a lot like Universe rebirth did and there is just a lot of tension and struggle throughout the issue even though there is no real villain. I think this is my new favorite Rebirth issue.
