The Divided States of Hysteria #1

Jun 9, 2017

What the hell did I just read?? One of the most confusing narratives and presentations I have ever tried to follow. Is it a good story? Who the hell knows. No thanks.

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.

Death Of The Inhumans #5

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...

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!

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.

Brilliant writing by Lemire and Smallwood's art is some of the best yet of the series.
