Hair stand up good. Really an incredible start to what should be a modern classic.

 Archangel #1 May 20, 2016

Superb. Mesmerising. Challenging. I have enjoyed every bit of this volume of Moon Knight, and this issue takes a step back into Marc's childhood and makes the reader wonder about everything that has happened up to this point. Brilliant writing by Lemire and Smallwood's art is some of the best yet of the series.

 Ms. Marvel (2015) #37 Jan 31, 2019

Straight up one of the best Marvel comics I have ever read. It is epic. It is funny. It is expanding what we know about the Marvel Universe. All this with great art, both character and splash pages are incredible to look at. Oh and do you like it when a character is introduced with their sweet logo on the page? Then prepare to be a very happy comic reader. Seriously this comic rules.

Looked a bit busy when I did a quick flip through, but when I read it I was really drawn in. Fantastic sci fi with a full dose of FF throughout. Nails it. Love the new series.

Yes! It's like a 90s kids cartoon, Plant vs. Zombies and Little Shop of Horrors all squished into one!

Solid book. Great art, used well to separate the narration threads. Felt like the Inhumans of old, proud, a bit different, bound by tradition and duty and most importantly, powerful.

Fantastic stuff. Great art, lots of personality and a story that feels fresh and mysterious.

Very cool art, clever how they merged all the different Thors and stories together. Fun! The frog makes it all work though.

Cates is killing it at Marvel! Home run.

Makes me forget about all the negative noise surrounding Marvel's output right now - fantastic stuff. Totally catches the spirit of Marvel without trying too hard.

Rosenberg is totally in his element and clearly enjoying it (his afterword is good fun too)! Great use of the heroes involved - best part I've read of the Secret Empire story so far.

I was a bit scared after issue 11 that this series was starting to slide, but I'm happy to report it was a blip. This Christmas (sorry - Saturnalia!) themed issue is a lot of fun, and my girlfriend's vacuum cleaner is in it. Seriously, Cap has her vacuum cleaner.

It's a blast!

Breathtaking art. Not a book I follow, but I'm into the Inhumans and get sucked into crossovers! I read in another review that IVX feels more like a war than Civil War II, and that's totally true. This is a gnarly book that adds some real colour and character to the main storyline of IVX - hope the regular readers of Uncanny X-Men didn't mind the intrusion!

Solid 7. Looks great, but the dialogue felt rushed and didn't do the art justice.

Looks great. Bit thin on the writing. It's a combo of Black Widow and Hawkeye - but not quite as good as either of them. But it looks great.

Getting better. Heavy on the action, which is a strength for this comic. Domino is the best part of the run yet.

Kirk does some great covers, but boy does his interior work need some cleaning up. Weak, rushed art. Decent writing.

Disappointing end to a fun crossover. Oh well.

Weak art, weak story. Disappointing.

Series had promise, but the end shows that as usual, Marvel has no idea what to do with the Inhumans. Pretty sure we won't see them for a while - as another commenter wrote the X-Men are back so no need for the Inhumans now...

Not a bad story, but really not feeling the art.

Should be better. Then I realize it's the same guy that did Lucas Stand, which I also thought coulda been better. Over-hyped and derivative.

Deserved a better final issue. Kind of muddled and doesn't feel like things were concluded at all.

 Civil War II #5 Sep 21, 2016

Seems like everybody involved in creating this issue had other more important things to do. Mailed in. Story could have been told in half the pages.

All over the place. Decent art with a very confusing narrative. Stopped trying to decipher it 3/4 of the way through and didn't feel like I was missing anything. Pass.

Ooof. This was bad. The parents are actual idiots, Clark is a jerk, Lana gets to be a victim. Wahoo. Won't be going back for the second. Miller was not a good choice. At least not old, cranky Miller.
