A.X.E.: Eve of Judgment (2022) #1
Jul 19, 2022 |
A bit repetitive but it might work better if you're not up to speed with Eternals or maybe it will be too much info. Still looking forward to A.X.E. but will skip almost all tie-ins except for what I'm pulling already. Pasqual Ferry is rough and simple on purpose. The excess and rough lines on the male figures vs the female figures is a nice touch but the style doesn't suit the tone of the story. Still, props to him for the eternals designs of sets and the antimatter bomb. |

It's ok. Has moments but as an end to the Eternals and Judgment Day, it's lacking. The art from Villanova didn't help either because it was muddled and rushed. |

Has me interested after a nice opening. Gillen certainly writes everyone well here and weighs his words carefully. Schiti's art and Gracia's colors are a great fit for this event. Here we go Jim! Toooony Stark plans have me intrigued too. |

Enjoyable event so far with many predictable and not so predictable moments. Gillen is good at this and I like his take on this world. This event also benefits from Immortal and Red being great setup and expanding issues. There is way too much going on here and I suspect the avalanche of tie-ins incoming will expand on those angles. I do want to explore them but can't follow them all since I can't print money or have any more space for useless books. Schiti and Gracia on art make it all look and work well too. |

It's a good read from Gillen but unstable on its own. It is a link to the next and can't carry the weight alone. Schiti and Gracia are doing some nice work which makes it all read much better. |

It's an interesting read but the jumping around is all over for me even when making it personable especially when absorbing the different points of view. I obviously have to re-read this to get a better idea of what I think. The art is great and some pages by Schiti are wonderful but many other panels are not clear enough and too rushed. Still one of the better events we had in years. |

Sep 21, 2022 |
This has all the plot points to work but I just couldn't get into any of the same plans being done again. It took me a while to figure out why I just couldn't get into this event until I remembered how the Eternals by Gillen worked so well with the machine narrating but this one is narrated by the progenitor. That is the main hold up for me because I could follow the machine's narrative while this progenitor is not suited to be narrating this at all. Some scenes make sense then the next 3 are nonsensical and the rules are there are no rules. Then comes the Cap moment at the end and I have to have someone explain to me how Cap gets out of the egg with his shield in hand? Seriously? Just because it's a made up story doesn't mean it can't have logical steps. I'm not even going to discuss the complete loss of meaning to death in comics. Schiti's style is strange yet again when the characters are different from page to page and the progenitor's physique and especially arms drastically change throughout the issue. The guy is very good and delivers some very nice pages but there is plenty of rushed work and inconsistency. |

It's ambitious but it ends with a whimpering pause. I get we're asking the readers to do better and be better but man is this way off the mark. I appreciate Guillen showcasing regular citizens view of events and have proper repercussions even if things will go back to normal as they always do but not as fast as before. I appreciate him dropping some heavy questions about the idea of God and his attributes as existential endeavors to find answers and he did ask some good questions as this made up god can never be truly worthy of judging creations while it is itself a creation no matter how powerful it is. Also the criteria for judging was erratic and unknown. It was the delivery and the pacing of this issue that killed the pondering. I never wanted a huge fight to justify an end to this quest but We needed characters asking better questions and we didn't get that. At least not the ones that count. If you're going to ponder, mate you need to go further because you're only at the surface. We never get proper answers and this final Host was not a good vessel for giving any. Schiti and Fiorelli on art were good but Gracia relied heavily on red tones that it took out of what was happening. I get that doomsday with blood and fire need to have red but it needed nuance. Still he is good overall. |

Outstanding mix of stories from "Amazing" to OK. The one that stuck with me and is worth the price is Slott's which made me misty eyed especially with the way Cheung channeled Ditko in his art. Rainbow Rowell/Olivier Coipel and Hickman/Marco Checcheto were great too. These anthologies are almost always money grabs but this one had the goods. |

Good but the setup for what's next is always Slott's undoing. He seemed to do it much better in his early spidey work. It takes away from the Zodiac story not that we needed more from that one but it comes and goes just as quickly leaving me with very pretty art from Immonen/Grawbadger/Gracia to admire and looking forward to the next issue. |

The message of this book wouldn't have had the impact it had without the Marcos Martin's art and Vicente's colors. The duo that i loved back in issues 578-579 is just as good as they were back then! Kuddos to Slott and MARCOS Martin for a sweet and heartfelt issue!! |

What a debut by Spencer. He took the character and infused him with his usual humorous style while dramatically bringing Peter/Spidey's world down around him but still leaving room for redemption and oh man what sweet redemption is being teased here. Wonderful read with a lot of words but anything with Ottley's pencils just looks amazing. Kudos to Rathburn and Laura Martin for making Ottley's art even better. You all produced a very pretty thing here. |

But to Spencer's credit, I'm here and still here because of his previous writing in the build up. Sandoval is a great match to Ramo's style as they both have weird angles on their silhouettes. Fits well. |

Finally, I know it's a broken record but the prices on these books is just not gonna help get any new young readers on board if anything some will drop it. I get it it's almost 3 issues worth of material but it doesn't have to be this way. It doesn't bother me, I just drop another Marvel book to buy my ASM. They're only competing against themselves.

Yes we're back in business. Spencer and Ottley should be on this book for a while because they're great. All other material was just filler. Peter/Spider-Man and his supporting cast should front and center most issues. I loved issue 24 and 25 a lot. I can handle a one shot here and there but many arcs where Spidey is a sidekick in his own show was just a waste. |

It's OK. The art is not the problem here even as Gleason is testing out styles throughout the issue. Just the LMD bullet Head banger is worth the price of admission! But Spencer is cramming too much in an issue where Spidey 2099 does nothing. What's the point of leaving threads hanging and starting others and not answering anything about 2099?? Two issues in and nothing just so I go and buy the 2099 event books? NO! Silver Sable's story is OK but not enough to keep me paying attention. I'm always there for ASM but I can't wait for January when we go back to regular schedule. |

Much better than the first 2099 related outings. I'm still skipping the mini-event because it's not grabbing my attention at all mainly because we've seen this before and it's stretched too much. I get that Spencer is laying the ground work for some stuff later on but his structure did not work well in the last issue. There is enough here to keep me interested but my enjoyment comes from Gleason's art that brings the narrative to life. |

Great story and beautiful art but it read way too quick and was not a Spidey story. Still very enjoyable and would read much better in a collected form. |

It's a good setup up issue. Hopefully Spencer can do a better one this time around because Hunted was underwhelming. We'll see how Kindred's story shakes out since it's pretty much the whole kit and caboodle of his run. The art was good with Jacinto but Oliveira was not up to the standard of ASM. This books double/triple ships regularly and sometimes getting artists to deliver 24-30 issues a year is quite a demanding. Even with Ottley and Gleason they can't cover it. |

It's a good issue. Still waiting for Sins Rising as a mini event to hit me with it but as an ASM story it's good with plenty of call backs and intriguing questions. Ferreira on art was good but It's just weird to have 3 issues with 3 different artists so far. I get the prelude had a different vibe and the art there was perfect for it but for the main ASM book it takes me out of it to transition through different artists. The cover is wonderful though! |

It's everything I should like especially Spencer's poignant writing but The art didn't work for me and Still feels like we're hovering and waiting for Kindred. The art has great moments and the detail in some scenes is great especially when the characters are masked but the faces and certain layouts took me out of it. Ferreira is good but he needs to work on his craft/faces. the cover is top notch though. |

OK this issue puts the story back on track for me. Spencer is always good with his writing and this is no exception as it let's you in Spidey's head and you really feel connected with his dilemma. Having Bagley on pencils gives it the feel like a classic book. Dell's inks over Bagley's art were tight and Curiel didn't go crazy with his colors which fits the tone. |

It was a great read. I enjoyed the Green Goblin and Spider-Man team-up/conflict because that is the core of Spider-Man story from eons ago and Spencer rehashes it in a good way. Still drags in bits and pieces with the Spidey Squad parts but overall worth a read. Ottley was very good and he will be missed on this book. Ramos and Bagley are veterans and gave their parts a nice feel to them, It wasn't jarring for me because I like all of them plus I was too deep into the story. I can't wait for Kindred and it's about time. The bonus stories were mostly OK and did like the trippy Tradd Moore story and Spidey's curves lol. |

I enjoyed it and was turning the pages in anticipation so Spencer did his job well there and Gleason delivered some tremendous detailed work (Even though his big headed Spidey in some panels has yet to grow on me but everything else is fantastic). But I can't help but feel underwhelmed at the end. I hope there is more to it than that, so we'll see. Two years in and Spencer has not delivered one arc that defines his run yet. It's good and had great moments in sporadic issues but I hope he can put together a full arc/story that resonates with me but maybe it's just me. |

A quick read that leans heavily on the Harry Osborn resurrection from way back when. I remember it but not all of its details. Obviously Spencer will address One More Day and there are no winks to be had anymore but will he fix it? I don't believe anything until it happens. These next few issues will be immensely crucial. Bagley's art is classic as ever but Dell's inks made it look like an old sequence which it was so that worked well. And all of the green hues from Delgado were nice too. |

The weakest in narrative and art. I get what they're hinting at but we're stretching this sucker to death. Not necessary as this can be done in 2-4 extra pages in regular ASM. The art change mid book took me out of it too so that's unfortunate. |

It's good at times, hard to read at times and has good art to boot but for a 10 minutes read it's a disappointment at the end of the day for me. We really need to stop dragging stories like this especially with all of the .LR issues because it just dilutes the product and kills the story for me instead of enriching it. I get we need to build drama and I can see great ideas from Spencer that get lost in the sea of the dragged out process. Too bad. I still hold hope they don't finish this without proper answers because I can see them drag this story for another 2 years from now where they will tease OMD/Mephisto yet again. I've become so cynical from the shenanigans they pulled over the years. |

The best LR issue and actually quite an important chapter for this story so finally we end the LRs on a meaningful chapter and Vicentini actually delivered nice pencils for this one that helped the intense drama. Miyagawa just doesn't fit the tone of this book. Very hard to wrap up the threads in one issue but we'll see next. |

Well it didn't deliver the end it hyped so much for 10+ issues. As a chapter to an ongoing story it was great from Spencer! It had the drama build up, the beautiful Gleason art but it ended on a bit of a whimper where Kindred just disappears in a tiny panel with some suspected magic from Norman/Kingpin that somehow took care of the Ultra powerful Kindred that couldn't be killed?? We'll see where it goes next but it's a bit of disappointment. I have called it many issues ago. The ASM board/editors just won't let the OMD story get fixed naturally over a 10 issue story arc, they wanna milk it for the next 50+ issues for another 2 years if they ever resolve it. Mephisto is all over the Marvel landscape right now and is going to be a prominent element in the next big event sometime in the next year or two so that holds up ASM in a drag until we get there. At least that's my guess for now. |

Again as a chapter in the Last Remains story, it's good with an 8 rating and worth the price of admission and even has classic Bagley art to give it an awesome look to boot but the problem is this story got us nowhere near the payoff following the teasing that happened for 10+ issues and going back to 50+ total issues. This is not necessarily Spencer's fault as I would expect the editors/CB/Quesada to have a heavy input in the ASM book especially with OMD. Furthermore it appears ASM is now a weekly book so you gotta stretch those stories to death. |

Still aftermath still DRE I guess? Aside from what came before it, it's fine as is. It's good Spidey/Osborn dynamics with Bagley art, it's as classic as it gets. How can we decompress this story even more...oh wait I said a while ago we're going another 50 issues before we get any real resolution and It looks like that was a good guess. Now let's hope at issue 100 we actually fix OMD and not just do another 100 issues teasing this crap. |

This is not bad but it's not great either.

The art was very inconsistent and was bad in some places which didn't help at all. |

This issue finally clicked for me after so many letdowns. It blended old threads and new ones well to satisfy the negatives I had with the Kindred/kingpin threads. I was wrong to think Spencer was gonna stretch it for another 50 issues but he is actually blending the webs so well in this issue that I enjoyed it tremendously and made the previous problems much better overall now that I look back at them. Bagley's art was good as usual but wasn't his best overall. His classic style was good in many spots that it actually helped me feel like I'm rereading a story from 20 years ago if that makes sense. |

At this point just when I get excited about something, another arc comes in and drags plot points I gave up on from 50 issues ago. Feels like a person I met 3 years ago that's a friend of a friend and then try to remember what we talked about then. Oh well, I will be here to hope for the best that Spencer ties his plot points better this time around. If only the art was good but man where is Bagley or Gleason or Vicentini?? This almost weekly shipping is destroying the art on ASM. |

It still reads busy and unfinished somehow. Maybe the mystery plot points all over the place are not helping. Spencer knows ow to grab your attention but He does carry too much and loses things along the way only to bring them back when you completely forgot about them. But if only the art was great and consistent. The 3 art teams in 1 issue here do not help at all. Once you get used to one, another comes along and slaps your eyes. Again this book is good and the stories are interesting but going almost weekly will destroy the editing and the art. |

It takes me out of it the second I see it, I'm done and my interest is gone. Having ASM at 2 or 3 issues a month is stupid unless you plan way ahead and have scripts to artists months in advance.

It is too much and not enough at the same time. Too many hints and switches to keep you guessing but very frustrating at the same time because there cannot be satisfying answers for all these threads. I will still be here to finish this ride simply because after 80+ issues I can't stop now. I am also prepared to forgive as long as Spencer doesn't make this another Chameleon fake out or some BS like that. I gave up on the art way back when, so this is on par with the ping pong ASM has been on for the last few months. |

Confusion here, confusion there and confusion everywhere. It gives 2 answers and leaves 4 unanswered. It came out of nowhere and although I'm happy Sins Past is addressed and "fixed" by Spencer, I can't get my head around Kindred's final form and his relation to Mephisto. I get AI Harrry's work with Chamelion/Mysterio but the link to Mephisto and having demonic abilities to kill and revive whoever is not explained? Maybe next issue. As usual, the art is a mess but what else is new here. I am not as excited by this issue as some as it can't even begin to fix the mess I had to endure this past year with ASM. 875 better deliver but alas I don't have much hope here. |

Great first issue. Just when I think I'm out, Zeb Wells pulls me back in!! Wells is an outstanding writer as usual. I remember liking his writing the best along with Mark Waid in the 550s when there was a team of writers doing ASM after OMD. It is crazy to think that was 13 years ago and we're in a bullpen of writers yet again after a disaster set of issues...Yes Spencer I can't forget the mess you did. I didn't care so much for the back up stories especially because of the subpar art. Speaking of art, Gleason was FANTASTIC!! His inks were not as overpowering as usual so he played it tight and made his foregrounds pop and I liked it very much! Menyz's colors made his art look beautiful! Great start! |

It's nice. Kelly Thompson does a nice job here although disjointed sometimes, it works for now. I need more though and we need to get there sooner than later. I'm all for slow building but give it some substance and I'll ride with you. I'm a big fan of Sara Pichelli but her art was mixed between outstanding pages that were a 10 and then some panels just felt off and just not the same level. Maybe her health issues are still bothering her and some days are just better than others. But Woodard's colors killed it. |

It's a mixed bag of things working and others are just nonsensical. Thompson's dialogue in some parts sounds odd or off. Morbius was just weird all throughout with no payoff. Sara Pichelli's art wasn't bad because some scenes were fantastic and others are off. Her new style is odd to me but it has its good moments. Also she couldn't finish the whole issue so I assume her health issues aren't gone. I wish her the best! |

It's OK. Getting a bit tedious and good art won't save this generic story about Beyond is bad but we won't say until issue 18 and just let things go on like this taking the air out of the story. Get a real hook and get the show going with some serious consequences. Good art by Gomez won't save this. Now after Spencer's letdown I am ready for this to be over and move on to the next thing.

I am sucker for these AMS issues and this beyond era needed it badly to at least remind you of why you're here in the first place. Ben Reilly isn't getting the service and is rudderless at the moment and I fear the whole thing is waste of time. So I'm glad Gleason brought the focus light back on where it oughta be. Great writing and even better art from Gleason. Hollowell and Fairbairn's colors were great and I couldn't detect when they switched duties so that's impressive. |

Zeb Wells brings it every time. I remember he was one of the very few bright things during Brand New Day (along with Waid/Martin) and 13 years later he is still good. His issue with Paolo Rivera with Punisher is one of my favorite ASM post OMD. Here Wells doesn't go crazy, he just takes normal predictable angles and lays them out in way that unfolds well. Dowling elevated this issue too. His art has morphed since the last one he did and it's even better. All the characters look distinct and have their own vibe. The last splash page of ASM history is a thing of beauty. Valenza colored it all spot on. |

Great chapter heading in the right direction. Wells just knows how to setup up and move things around. Dowling's art style changed in every issue throughout this beyond run. He is still evolving and still finding his style and maybe he went a bit heavy with shadowy figures and pencils in some panels but his inking is great! I get a Alex Maleev vibe sometimes in some panels but he's not there yet. He still has to make his action sequences gel better but it's great stuff overall. Valenza's colors were fitting and his little details like on Maxine's eye shadow were nice. |

It was fun and bit of change from the previous ones. This beyond series doesn't have one unique identity by design and it suffers for it. Kelly Thompson does good and has many good quips but the way the issue goes around itself to get to the end was forced. Sara Pichelli style has changed and she can't finish issues anymore because of her back injuries. It's good but it has changed. The second artist change was jarring and took away from the issue overall. |

It is a tale of many threads that really didn't connect well at the end. They said they wanted to do some drama and something new with Ben Reilly and created Chasm after all this although this was done before in the clone conspiracy where Ben Reilly becomes the "Jackal" after all the shenanigans he went through from being killed over and over again by Miles Warren having his mind become corrupted. The dude will never get a proper treatment because as they said in the issue that Peter Parker and Miles Morales are untouchable so we have to mess with Ben Reilly. He is slowly becoming the new Hank Pym. I'm a big fan of Zeb Wells so I enjoyed his issues the most but this was not a true end but rather a link to his ASM era. So I have high hopes for that. We'll see. All of the artists did great, Gleason and Pichelli were outstanding and Bagley is always welcome on ASM because it just feels right. Valenza on colors was spot on, fresh and bright or gloomy and moody when it needs to be. |

OK now I'm excited for Sins Rising. This one shot was really good. Spencer as usual does a fantastic job in these character in depth explorations. The whole vibe was dark and borderline horrific in some places. I'm surprised this one was rated T and not Mature, at least it should have been a T+. Don't matter to me but if a young one reads this, they are not getting any sleep for a while. Guillermo Sanna was spot on with his art and fit the tone well. Bellaire was good too with her dark and moody colors and Joe Cramagna made his presence known with some stellar bubble work. |

OK. Some payoff with a classic Boomerang moment that was long coming but overall it needed me to have had read Daredevil Vol2 to get a better idea of the weight of what just happened. I never read Daredevil because I never cared for the character until Zdarsky wrote it. Good for Daredevil fans but for me it's a meh?? It also needed better art to help the story with sharper art. I don't know why people don't understand that comic books are a visual medium and without proper visuals to enhance the story then I might as well read a book where my imagination can do better. |

Edit: I went back and read it a few more times and it was actually better then I remembered and Romita's art just grows on me for good or bad. Had high hopes for Zeb Wells and concern over Romita Jr. before reading and afterwards, not sure what to think. It wasn't great but it wasn't bad either. It actually read and looked better the second time going through. As if I'm reading a run from 14 years ago that I forgot about. This is the problem with ASM right now because they can't break Peter Parker and that's why Ben Reilly's life is a bigger mess that Peter's. They choose to keep feeding us nostalgia and while that's nice, I am ready for a bit of a shake up. I know I know, MJ's reveal at the end is a shake up but not what I had in mind. We Spidey fans know and don't know what we want at the same time. No wonder they keep killing characters because we just reached a time when we can't escape continuity and many writers can't do an Immortal Hulk with ASM. Romita Jr's art actually looked much better here than the last few years or since Cap's Dimension Z a decade ago. I have to credit Scott Hanna as the inker and Marcio Menyz as the colorists for making it pop and shine. I'll be here because I trust Zeb Wells and he has a lot of credit in the bank. I just hope he doesn't go as Nick Spencer did or Nick Lowe doesn't restrict him too much. |

This has the mystery and I am intrigued but it gives me the feeling that I do when an ASM story I read 15 years ago that I forgot how it unfolded and I'm re-reading it. It doesn't help that Romita Jr is doing the art because while it is good because of the inker and colorist, it doesn't scream new but more of a call back to what I already saw and read. It's a weird one because while I'm all for classic and sentiment in ASM, this doesn't feel like that. Anyway at least Zeb Wells is doing OK with some "familiar" beats. (Yes the bar is that low after Spencer's run) My hopes are very low right now and I expect nothing but heart break from ASM, so why change now? |

It's good and I did enjoy reading it after letting it sit for a while. Wells is good with his narrative and words so it comes through easily. Romita Jr is consistent so far and Hanna inking/Menyz coloring makes it all look good! |

Nice work by Wells. I loved the switcheroo at the end. Obviously this run like many comics these days read better in collected forms but this one still worked well as a single. I say it again but it needs repeating: Scott Hanna's inks and Marcio Menyz's colors are making Romita Jr.'s pencils look almost as good as it was a decade ago and I hope they stick around. That being said Romita Jr' still has good and bad and you gotta take both like it or not. |

It was a very enjoyable issue that felt like a side story off from the main one we had in the arc that just closed so it makes complete sense to me. Yes it is very old school and feels like a story pricked from different eras and mixed in here but somehow it still works for me. Zeb Wells and Mark Waid are the two writers I trust with these stories. The art has never looked better! Ed McGuiness is welcome anytime he feels like it. The guy draws a great Spider-Man and delivered some wonderful pages that still looked consistent even with 3 other inkers and 3 colorists. I like when the team jells together. I can't say I like the back up stories that much. I wish they just do 70 page story and move on but no we gotta get $10 instead of $6. |

This ASM issue is just out of place with this run except for a few pages. Zeb Wells script falls flat for me. Some of it works and is fun but the dialogue and action sequences are weird. I'm starting to not care about the 6 months gap because there are no answers 9 issues in and so the mystery just disappears for me. The art by Gleason is really good but it didn't help me read and understand this issue especially when Moira and MJ are talking. His choices to represent them in that weird format where I one second MJ is there and then Moira shows up was very confusing. Great art but the script and drawing choices didn't help this one on top of being a tie-in to an event from 2 months ago. |

It's a predictable Tie-in albeit a nice one. Zeb Wells is good with ASM characters but I need more here than a nice little story that beats the same drums as before. Dragotta style is the same but it's ASM with characters that have been pre-defined so he can't do the same flair with East of West's new characters that everyone expects. |

Not bad and actually has all the ASM books elements to work for me so I'm enjoying it. I just wish this 6 month gap mystery isn't hovering around too long because once you hype something and drag it forever then you don't deliver, people just stop caring all together. Romita Jr. and Hanna/Menyz on art just deliver that classic familiar look which works well with these stories. It could be better but it could also be worse. You either like it or you don't. |

It was OK and not a bad setup for an event but this is supposed to be an ASM book. Where is Peter Parker and how in the world is this related to his MJ and Felicia story? I guess we are spreading this over many books and that is just not a good thing for the current story which will have to wait until this is over. Art worked well for the 4 parts which is good but man the ASM office is killing me right now. |

It's plain dumb humor in a story that doesn't require your thinking cap. If you ask questions it all falls apart. I'm just enjoying the amazing Ed McGuiness art that has been inked flawlessly by Rathburn and colored exquisitely by Menyz and even Caramangna lettering was spot on for the tone of this dumb story. I had high hopes for Zeb Wells on ASM but I guess I keep lowering the bar of what's acceptable. |

The dumbest and flimsiest of event premises that I have to ignore in order to enjoy McGuinesse's art. That's it. His fantastic art with some tight inks by Rathburn and beautiful colors by Menyz makes this bearable so I can see an electric scooter get thrown around and enjoy it while I ignore why and how we got here. I can't wait for it to be over. |

I love McGuiness's work and his art is a perfect fit here with Rathburn/Menyz's wonderful inks and colors.

It's a decent first issue in this arc on its own. Basing this ASM run/story on a continuity minor blip that I vaguely remember was not a good option at least for now. Also waiting a year to start this arc is ludicrous especially when the previous issues were all filler low level payoffs. I have to say that Wells is usually a good writer but I'm noticing that these writers are being crushed by the 60 year history of ASM so I'm still waiting for an Immortal Hulk moment but I fear it will never come. These characters are not allowed to grow or move up so we have to keep building just enough to collapse it all and start over. Romita JR is his usual self here and love it or hate it it's just about the same as it has been. Except for kids because those things were ridiculously hilarious with those big heads lol |

2 steps forward and 3 steps back. I have to move to trades because reading this in singles for 20 some issues to find out what happened is agony. But even then I doubt it will improve it. Avoid it if you must but escape it? You can't. I'll wait for the arc conclusion to make a full judgement. I have to say the FF parts were good and Romita Jr. is as he's been so far so it's good/quirky in his usual style. Wells style here is playing with fire. But I'm starting to believe that no writer can even fix ASM and will crumble under the 60 year history and continuity. I hope I'm proven wrong in the future. I wish Spider-Man will get his Immortal Hulk 50 to 100 issues era to bring back order and move Peter Parker forward but as the powers in control at Marvel have said: Peter Parker can never grow up because he has to be sold to new readers over and over again and older readers just have to accept it or exit. |

It's a very lackluster story where all the beats are recycled from the time gap where the hero can't save the heroine and grew apart and blah blah and then add a very mediocre villain acting like a 50s idea of what a cliched bad guy would be. There is nothing here that inspires or infuses a hint of suspense of hope in building proper characters. A year wasted on the dumbest premise. Zeb Wells and the editors dropped the ball just like on Spencer's run. I don't have hope for ASM ever recovering and this title will continue to sell and top the charts riding on the 60 year old history of cool Thwips and slogans "With great power..." that are both celebrated yet are the main hinderance to its advancement. I will finish the arc then it's sayonara and I'm moving to trades because at least then I will have full arcs to pick and choose from. |

It's not bad and is fine for a finish to an average arc that's there to invoke feelings of sadness, loss and quite possibly anger. Also the art is good from Romita Jr. Hanna on inks and colors by Menyz. The problem is the story itself. First, the antagonist is one of the worst things about this. He and I don't care to remember his name is just as bad as the time-jump-gap and other previously overplayed ruses. Also Paul is a very average character. I just do not care about his story because relating him to the antagonist just does nothing to build any sort of background when the bad guy is a dumb idea. Second, you sprinkle Kamala Khan for a few panels in 25 issues with no build up or explanation then do an info dump for a few pages and expect readers to care about her death in an ASM book? I care about Kamala and was there from 2014 when G Willopw Wilson and Alphona knocked it out of the park for years. So I'm expected to not be pissed off that you just kill her here like that. Yes Wells does enough to make it work but man does it leave a bad taste in your mouth. I'm off singles for this book for the first time in a decade and will follow TPB if they are good. These editors and Wells think they got a golden goose but they have no idea what they're doing and just might strangle it in the process. But don't worry it'll still sell for a while because 60 years of Nostalgia is a hard thing to destroy. |

There it is. A bit too much plot twisting for something you can see coming 20 issues ago and the journey was not enjoyable either. Also the whole Kraven/Son Clones nonsense that Spencer did was the dumbest thing next to the Kindred reveal. ASM is being weighed down by too many dumb decisions like how many times will Flecia and MJ date and break up with Peter. This endless cycle is not for old readers. At least I have Hickman doing some inetersting things over at Ultimate ASM. Gleason's art is great as always! |

It got better and I enjoyed REK-RAP for what he is and it was fun to make him a 60s/70s Lee/Romita ASM style narrator for his dumb outbursts that fit well with the fun story line. ASM and Wells do much better when they stay away from MJ/Felicia and what comes with 60 years of continuity so why is this an ASM book? I don't know? I'm just here for the amazing art from McGuiness. It's fantastic and fits the tone so well. Ed McGuiness is a professional and you can see it from the details to the inks. Menyz colors it all wonderfully! |

The event is good but for a Spider-Man Book he feels like a reactive character with no real depth or oomph to him. Like a secondary person there witnessing a great Mafia war happening. Wells just can't do Peter Parker or Spider-Man fully right but he's good at the crime guys drama. JR Jr. back on art and brings the rough edge this type of book needs. |

Gang war didn't start well and it didn't end well. Spider-Man/Peter Parker feels like a B-level character in his own book whereas the Mafia camps upstage him with more dynamics and development especially Tombstone. Tombstone's first arc was the best this run has done but that feels like years ago especially when Wells started with the Peter/MJ mystery that took forever to answer only to disappoint then MJ is kicked to the curb then we circle around till we get to Gang War only to fall flat yet again. I'm just ready for the next creative team. Positive is John Romita Jr. delivered good art and kudos to Hanna on inks who made his art tight and Menyz on colors is classic. |

It was fine but a step down from last issue.

Either do something else or go back to how things were. Enough with the back and forth BS. Commit to something and stop dragging this soap opera teasing people forever. The Sinister 6 also feel generic at this point. Carmen Carnero is the best thing about this issue and she delivers beautiful art as always!! |

I actually enjoyed this one from Zeb Wells. He does a very good job channeling the bad guys vibe but sometimes Spider-Man is lost a bit. Still it has the feel of a proper ASM story and while the rinse and repeat cycle is tiresome, I didn't mind it here and it was a palate cleanser (before more BS to come). Todd Nauck on art is always great! He delivers beautiful and very detailed art. I wish he was part of the rotation. Sonia Oback debut on colors did very well too! |

A steady good story as a one off tie-in. Wells can do some good stuff but his overall storytelling is still very disjointed. I'm glad I escaped spoilers because I'll read Blood Hunt as a Trade later. Hate it or love it, at this level Romita Jr. delivers his consistent art as was issue 1 thanks to the same inker Scott Hanna and colorist Marcio Menyz being there the whole time. It works for me even if it feels like I'm re-reading a story from 15 years ago. I miss Todd Nauck already but I'll enjoy McGuinness around the corner for the 50th. I just Hope Wells can deliver but my hopes are very low at this point. |

Amazing Spider-Man Vol. 7: Armed And Dangerous
Nov 18, 2023 |
After stopping this in singles since the whole Kamala death debacle, I can safely say this reads much better collected. Zeb Wells delivers some decent stories but still underwhelming and not in any meaningful direction. It's fun but Spider-Man and Peter Parker are and will always be stuck in a circular motion storytelling where he is doomed to experience the same things over and over again with nothing really changing. Otto and Norman was fun but it's quickly resolved and it feels redundant. The status quo is tiring man. I've read this before many times over and over. Then we get Felecia and Peter breaking up just like that after what happened. This is just dumb storytelling. Not sure where Zeb ends and where Nick Lowe starts. At least the art was amazing from Ed McGuiness who delivers a near perfect Spider-Man. Kudos to Farmer on inks and Menyz on colors. I can't fault the art here at all. JR Jr was also great and the Mafia wedding was actually going somewhere so we'll see if that delivers... This is was an decent book to read at least until I got to the nonsensical stories at the end because simply put I don't care for spider-boy, I don't care for jackpot and bringing superior spider-man yet again is tiring and stupid at this point. I know this is groundhog day for Spidey but I can't quit it yet. I'll have to wait for Hickman to give me some movement forward in the Ultimate Universe. |

The work by Zeb Wells is good with all the Mafia families war dynamics. Only problem is this a Spidey book where Hammerhead and Company get more work to give them depth over Peter Parker/Spidey so yes it's good but for an ASM book the main guy has no depth and is rudderless. Vazquez is good on art, Cartoony for a war book but very clean and that's me being too picky. |

I loved it and was chuckling a few times at the scenarios Zeb Wells cooked up for Scott Lang! Wells was very good in his ASM issues back in the day and he's just as good here. Burnett's art is fantastic and looked tight and well inked. I love his style a lot and with Spicer's beautiful coloring it was just easy on the eyes for me. I recommend it! |

Finally an issue that actually works and mainly because of Del Mundo's art. He just slayed it. I mean Soule's narrative is intriguing from Charles Xavier's point of view but it's still seems disconnected somehow. Maybe that says something about this particular Professor X but i'm just glad that the art elevated the script. |

Well Waid tried and Delmundo gave it his best shot and in some panels they succeeded but overall this tie in didn't deliver and many characters are not well handled starting with Deadpool and Odinson. I might seem harsh but i know Waid and Delmundo can be better. At least there was no redemption for Taskmaster. |

I love this book already. Very classic avenger feel with modern vigor. I think every issue so far was from an avenger's point of view guiding us through the narration and this one nailed Pietro's persona well. The reveals keep coming and the weekly format suits it here because a monthly release wouldn't work as well. Larraz and Curiel continue their fine collaboration that make this book a thing of beauty. Panels, whether in splash pages or small moments are on point. Is it next Wednesday yet? |

This feels like it was mostly scripted by Ewing. Ewing pulls the curtain back on what's happening and it felt clunky at first as it always does with Big concept writers but he brings it all together towards the end. Jacinto does a nice job following Larraz with the help of the same colorist Curiel, it looked much better and not too jarring. Waid's pseudo-scientific explanation at the end about how Metal Master was able to take Mjolnir was well put and made sense based on the Marvel U science. |

Continues to be good overall with everyone on board and the Voyager mystery keeps me guessing. Excellent art by Jacinto, No seriously it's really good. Flatter pages by Perkins. At least David Curiel's colors keep it together. The Hulk tease is going on 3 issues and it will be 2 more before he shows up....just a tad annoying. |

Just as i finished the very enjoyable No surrender weekly, this fresh start comes along and ups the ante with a splendid first issue. Jason Aaron has done a great job here juggling different sides and times while Ed McGuiness just killed it with his pencils. I knew he was good but he outdid himself here. Well complimented by Morales on inks and beautifully brought to life by Curiel's colors. I truly loved the gold Hues on Thor's panels. Highly recommend this one! |

This issue does a much better job than the last two and brings back the story on track. More coherent story telling by Aaron that does a better job juggling the moving parts and characters while delivering answers in much better way than before. I actually enjoyed this one a lot. Very little McGuiness but Medina picks it up nicely and delivers his best work in sometime. Vlasko and Morales do a nice job inking while Curiel's colors tie it all and make those scenes pop! |

The story got too big and while the last issue was great, this finale was rushed and kinda not satisfactory. Aaron had a good idea that took way too long to explain and was hurried at the end. It's still a good book with great art. McGuiness is good as usual and i'm glad Medina is here to make it mesh without being too jarring of a transition. Medina is doing a fine job here!! Also Morales and Vlasco's inks looked tight. Curiel's colors looked beautiful and it helped that he colored the whole issue. |

I liked this issue very much. I needed the slow down and team developments after what happened. We don't need constant earth shattering action every issue. David Marquez is in top shape here and his craft is amazing. Justin Ponsor makes it all look beautiful. His use of colors and shading is outstanding. These two should be the regulars artists. |

Outstanding issue from Jason Aaron. His story just got immensely intriguing by all of the insane twists and reveals. That JLA nod was great especially with Agent. Marquez and McGuiness were perfect.

Aaron does a great job putting things in motion and transitioning between stories. It's a lot of things to juggle but he's successful so far. I would really like what he's hinting at. The art is what keeps me from being 100% in sync with the story. McGuiness and Morales are outstanding in their pages but Smith and his inkers are inconsistant. One page is great and the next is too rushed. I'm just greedy and want McGuiness doing it all. |

OK this is a much better direction than the last few outings. Still weirdly put together but I'll hold judgement when the dots are connected. I hope Aaron doesn't just lollygag for arcs at a time because the momentum just dies and the whole thing becomes pointless. I mean we still haven't seen the Squadron Supreme of America for more than 6 months now? What's the point of spending so much time on something just to drop it and not hint at it for more than 6 months and counting?? |

It's an OK end to this up and down arc. rushed at times and decompressed at other times. Aaron has great ideas but his delivery was off with some characters doing things just because? Brood Thor as an example was just a waste. Aaron succeeds in tying the story with baby Starbrand and we'll see where that goes but somehow he misses with too many other ones. His Black widow moment was way off but I did like Cap delivering the baby! McGuiness and Manna combined for the art along with Morales on inks and Keith doing colors. The art was OK. McGuiness was sharper the last issue and Manna was decent but nothing spectacular. |

It was interesting for sure as an exploration of who Tony Stark is and where Iron-Man fits in there but three things stand out and don't really work well. One, Tony Stark believes in THE devil (as Mephisto likes to claim) but not God makes no sense to me (But maybe his ego keeps him in denial). Two, How in the world are you gonna drop such a big retcon like that where it just don't fit especially that Bendis recently blew up the whole thing to pieces for no reason. Three, obviously the fatherhood claims by Mephisto are him completely F-ing with Tony's mind but combined with the other retcon becomes too much. Yes some of these threads will be resolved but too much was crammed here. The art didn't help as way too many jarring changes took away from the story. Should've been Zaffino all the way or at least the pre-historic pieces with Lulis on the present sequences. |

It's a shore for me to read this book right now. Garron's art and Keith's colors are great but the whole package feels incomplete. The writing is intentionally evasive to evoke suspense but lacks the punch it thinks it's making.

This is was ok at best. I get what JASON Aaron is trying to do with Moon Knight but did we really need all of these issues to do it. This series is keeping me around just because of what was promised back almost 2 years ago for the JLA knock off with the squadron supreme. But holly cow is this taking forever. I didn't care about the war of the realms or the ghost rider stuff and this Khonshu nonsense takes the cake for dragging out stories that get us nowhere. Javier Garron is great in the art but this book is a shamble of what it promised to be. |

While the ideas are great and the art is amazing, it's a very frustrating book. This book is moving at a snail's pace. We get it: Mephisto's up to no good and we've been hinting at it for years now. Now we'll spend another 6 issues playing with the phoenix and hint at Mephisto some more. No Coulson and No Squadron Supreme and no resolution to anything, we're just brewing threads for 38 issues with no pay off whatsoever. And now Marvel says this book has hints for its 2021 slate so of course I'm sticking with this because I must like punishment. |

We are trying to set up the phoenix event and have the prehistoric Avengers have meaning but at this point I'm almost done with this series. We are dragging this to death and if only this issue delivered more than a cliched story, I would be more forgiving. The only reason I'm still here is because this is supposed to be an integral series to Marvel plans for 2021 and Mephisto's part of it but 39 issues later it's ridiculous what Aaron+Editors are doing here. |

Good issue by itself away from the previous mess of 39 issues but Aaron is doing it again where he lays it all out and makes you hope for the best but if the last few years are any indication, this will be another disappointment. The main reasons this gets any respect from me is the CAP monologue along with the best art Garron has done in years. |

I had to quit reading this book after the Moon Knight and the phoenix arcs debacles and waste of time. I had to pick this up so I can see where we are and I was pleasantly surprised by it. But it is still mostly setup for the next 50 issues where things would go unfulfilled. It reminds me Avengers 700 when I got so excited for the future and was slowly crushed for the next 35 issues. Aaron does what he wants and I get where he's going but man does he need some fine tuning and someone to get him to skip the nonsense for 6 issues and deliver something worth it. Right now the Avengers and X-men main books are just on a holding pattern for most of the time running the clock to get us to some event. Waste of time. With that said I will pick up Avengers Forever and see what he does there. Expectations are below zero right now so who knows? Art wise this book was great!! McGuiness, Kuder and Garron were fantastic! All the colorists were pretty darn good just too many to list'em all. |

Back on this train for the arc to see where we go and Aaron is still at it and his style isn't going to change. I just ask to be entertained at this point with some form of story telling that doesn't take 25 issue to make a point. So this was a good start I guess. Frigeri is a good fit here with good art although some faces need work. Curiel is absolutely spot on with his colors. |

Aaron just tries too hard to explore his unresolved religious issues but this is not the place to do it. The story starts somewhere interesting and ends up where he needs it to be and not necessarily following his logic. It takes away from the previous setup up. I hope Aaron can get some clearance someday and sort out his beliefs because every book I read from him you can clearly see he is struggling and is trying to fit things together but Avengers should not suffer for it. |

Going downhill fast. Thor fights Echo/Phoenix for how many issues then in 2 panels does 180. Just one example of so many threads trying to be made into a story by Aaron but it's not cohesive enough following what was built so far. Frigeri is OK but not a strong as he was at the beginning. |

We're traversing the multiverse forever looking at what if stories that we hope make sense but how long can this go on? It get tedious and boring after a while and needs to make a landing with some purpose sooner or it's back to the desert that was issues 20 through 47. And with deserts come mirages which is what this Avengers series has been: a desert full of interesting mirages that keep escaping me as soon as I think I get to them. Same thing is happening with Avengers Forever. Jason Aaron can't go on like this until issue 100? |

This series while nicely introducing cool characters that will be wasted away, isn't an Avengers book anymore. I accept that we are on a 30-50 issue drip by drip to the finale and that just kills it for me no matter how well the characters can be sometimes. This book gets a 7.5 mainly because Javier Garron is flexing his art muscles and is killing it with his designs and tight inking. David Curiel is almost out-doing Garron with his wonderful colors. The art makes this issue work. Still it might be time to drop this book and Avengers Forever and wait for the Avengers to start doing some avenging in their own book. I'll give the next issues a shot but I already know the answer. |

What if ramblings continue. This is not an Avengers book. The art is the only saving grace here. Garron and Curiel are the only positives. Can't leave out of sheer commitment and It's almost over but man is Aaron not good at developing and writing the issues between his good concept ones like 710 and 750. Too much garbage in between. |

Nice tie-in that tries to expand on the progenitor's frame of mind through Hawkeye's eyes as he goes about his day. It's not bad but feels like we are talking about a different progenitor here because this doesn't align with what Gillen is doing. Land actually was good on art duty with some good stuff and his usual similar exaggerated faces on all characters was toned down a lot. |

It's just weird how an Avengers book finally has the Avengers show up for 4 panels and just be background characters. You know exactly where we're going but it's just not structured well. This series has all the components and ideas but Aaron and Editors' execution is not good. |

Much better from the previous horrible primer issue that left a bad taste. Still the story lacks a proper connection between these teams that are fighting to kill each other 1 minute and the next are back to back brothers? It just doesn't work. Jason Aaron failed to lay basic explanations in this story like how did any of these teams travel the multiverses in both Avengers books. The starbrand explains this final traverse but all the other dozens/hundreds are without any grounded explanation. The art from Garron is the one positive thing that saves this issue because at least I can enjoy his tremendous work on the pages along with Curiel's wonderful colors. |

It's very fair to say this is a decent issue but the road to get here was marred with long, useless stories and wasted opportunities or just lazy story telling. Javier Garron does an outstanding job as usual. I'm still here since we're so close to the end and I can't wait to stop after 4.5 years of this miserable crap. I just can't quit this close to the end. |

The disappointment here is just...I should be used to it by now. On paper this should work but the weight of the story after 4 years is too much on Aaron who delivers a sub par script with stupid lines and all too predictable stuff. Javier Garron works his butt off here on art and is wasted. |

Man what a waste of time and money. Let's oversize this kick off issue and spend half of it on a unnecessary fight and the rest on a horrible idea for Ghost rider who could kill the Doom Above all last issue by himself only to stop him and then depower him because Aaron can't write a proper script ending to his crap saga. This close to the end after 5 years I have to finish and I will never ever read another Jason Aaron book when these Avengers books are done in a few months. |

I will never buy or read another Jason Aaron comic. After investing 6 years into this we have a weightless run that promised so much and yet never delivered what it thought it was delivering. I tried and gave it every chance to matter but it will never capture what it did in those early 10 issues or the 50th issue which were the high points that sucked me in and strung me along. Aaron mistakes big spectacle and multiverse explosions with amalgamized characters as substance worth following but the many throw away stories, throw away characters and fake outs stood on shaky ground of a story that really had no real substances or characters worth investing in especially in the last 25 issues of Avengers and Avengers Forever. The only bright spots came from the artists such as Kuder and Garron who did awesome work and made these ideas shine but only superficially. |

Sometimes I fall for Aaron schtick and I know it yet I can't help but enjoy the over the top stupidity and stupendousness of it. This issue was enjoyable! Aaron Kuder's art was phenomenal with great attention to detail here. The guy kills himself on the page and it shows. Carlos Magno blended his art style to fit Kuder's and the jail cell scenes were spot on. The inkers Scott Hanna, Roberto Poggi and Cam Smith all were just tight. Guru-eFX's colors blended it all very well too. This was a great book to feast your eye on. |

This book just delivers for me and I'm onboard the multi-verse shenanigans even if some things are over the top but it works for me. I can't say that about many Aaron books lately but I remember the Avengers main book's first 10 issues were great before things went off track. It helps to keep that in mind and just enjoy the stupid @#$% coming at us. Especially when Aaron Kuder is the artist. Fantastic art and his work has never looked better. I think that Cam Smith and Scott Hanna's inks over him are seriously the tightest inking I have seen in ages. The lines are perfect. Then Guru eFX delivers outstanding colors from the many different skin tones to Ben Grim's technicolor rocks. I love it when artists gel well together! |

I immensely enjoyed the first half of the comic book where Jason Aaron Aaron Kuder brought a great story to life That I think needed a bit more time to breath even if I criticized this series before for taking way too much liberty running around. The second half was way too quick and the leap (pun intended) for Carol Danvers came out of the blue. Aaron Kuder's art is so good and he is a great strength for this series. Guru eFx on colors was right on. |

Much better but it's hard to get hyped for the reveal after so many years of filler crap. This run had all the makings of a great one but the structure of the stories and the bloated multiverse characters/scenarios were just not good. Jason Aaron just stuffs too many things with no real sense to how it affects the story. It just becomes noise. Kuder's art makes it all look awesome. I really like Mark Farmer's inks and Frank Martins' colors on his work. Too bad it wasn't for a better story. |

This story was not satisfactory for the build up it had. We could have solved this way back and didn't drag it like this. Why not do this early on over an arc? Oh no we gotta have Thor be mad with the Phoenix for a while just for the heck of it to stretch this nonsense. The Avengers series is really a jumbled mess over 4 years with a few very good singles thrown in to keep idiots like me coming back. Jason Aaron didn't do a good job here at all. Plus his stories are way too much of a therapy session for his own internal monologue. I hope he figures it out for his own sake. Walker's art is good but Dean White's colors experiment in some pages didn't work for me. I know he tried to give it a certain old look but maybe next time. Dean White is a pro and still had some good pages. |

It's better than the last one but felt disjointed at times. The art by Medina and Aburtov is phenomenal and couldn't have been better but the story while succeeds initially at getting your attention with Euphoria's scenes of soul searching purpose, it quickly goes sideways. It's good but feels disjointed at the core especially at the long island scenes. Hope they deliver a special finale but I'm not holding my breath. |

A great read from Zdarsky. I like his world building about this distant future that feels inevitable based on our own trajectory today. Some might not like the social commentary but he is spot on. It is the future where new generations can be re-educated and rebuilt into whatever fascist leaders (Domestic or foreign) want because we human beings choose to stay ignorant or are pushed that way by design (Tragedy, etc.) and never learn or easily forget whatever the previous generations have built and gone through to achieve them. It's a classic story that has been done before in media but what makes this one great is the art by Acuna. The glorious art of this man is immaculate and it almost looks like paintings. It's not a 10 because what the heck were those Loki/Avengers origin pages doing? They're great on their own but feel completely disjointed here. We needed more clues. |

Almost perfect. I'm a sucker for Old Man CAP. A man destined to always be out of time and out of sync and I love Zdarsky's take on him in this future dystopia. I like that we are getting answers and reveals in a nice pace and this is where a mini series beats a 30 issue slow burn that could go stale unlike a mini. But the star here is Daniel Acuna! His art is phenomenal, beautiful and serves the story with his futuristic design and attention to details that immerses me into it. His stuff belongs in a museum lol |

It would have added more layers if I read all these stories beforehand but I also have kids to feed and you can only read so much Millar before you have to pause. What can you say about Pepe Larraz? He is phenomenal and exquisite in his work, maybe the best of this generation. Giovanna Niro colored his work beautifully. |

It's not bad for a finale but it's a let down after the time travel aspect was leaned on so heavily here. It unravels quickly if you take a minute to think about it. As a popcorn comic book for Pepe and Giovanna to flex their art muscles it's good but as a proper story it feels weak. Still enjoyed it but I really hoped Millar wouldn't MacGuffin this event. Pepe Larraz was fantastic and it's obvious he spent many nights and days on this wonderful art. The art is 10/10 |

Reber's colors/tones between the 2 different stories was well done! 2 things: 1) Yes the wrap up is quick but feels appropriate with the story. 2) The last page is out of nowhere and adds almost nothing to this issue for me so I'm not sure why it is there. We'll see going forward but I will add this to my pull and find out. |

I skipped an issue and came back and it's like I almost missed nothing. So I'm back on as this issue got my interest but the pace is a way too slow sometimes. Also Acuna's pages and cover were fantastic! |

The ideas are there but the execution and the art killed this issue. Coates tries to swerve back to some earlier scenes with deflective ideas onto the reader but just ended up losing me as it didn't land as he hoped. The art was OK but the lack of movement and energy in these scenes made them fall flat as there was no urgency or sense of direction to the characters or galactic ships. Don't get me wrong, the art was descent but it didn't fit the big galactic scenes and it lacked the right touches to deliver the message of the narrative. Acuna gets criticized for his art and how it's static by some people (I don't know why) but his galactic fights and drama scenes always have energy and I can feel them. Anyway Acuna is coming back to finish the last 4 issues of this book and I hope Coates will end it well because it's dragging right now. |

It's finally coming together as a story although Coates style is hard to follow especially for all these heroes showing up and all of them being specifically Black heroes with no other heroes of different ethnicities partaking in saving Wakanda? This doesn't make sense for T'Challa to only bring in black heroes when he knows he is going up against an Intergalactic Empire. Maybe I missed something. Daniel Acuna is a Maestro as usual making all of the scenes look FANTASTIC!!! |

This was OK but a disappointment after going through the whole intergalactic empire of Wakanda stuff for so long. The end was just very unfinished. Maybe the crazy delay was part of the problem but to me it just feels unfinished and so much left on the table. Also how are the only heroes showing up from North America/world only black so what? The other heroes won't save Wakanda or is T'challa stupid enough to only reach out to black heroes. This is a stupid plot point but just takes me out of it. I get we are trying to get a black power moment here but give your allies a place at the table because the Avengers and the X-men can help so why not have them there too??. I mean the Black Panther is the leader of the Avengers so WTF?? Can he not ask them to join in. Let me go to intergalactic war but only invite the black heroes. How is this advancing anything. Dumb if you ask me. Acuna is outstanding as always although some panels seem unfinished with less ink (maybe on purpose?) but not his usual strikingly inked stuff. But his colors were on point. |

It's good. The ending is near and some beats are obvious and can be seen coming 2 pages away but if you like the book, you'll still enjoy the trip. Remender says he's going out of his comfort zone to end this series a different way. I don't know what that means but we'll see. Scalera is always awesome. The only thing destroying these book is the insane wait time between issues. Wait for the trades, it'll read much better. |

It's a good issue and has some classic tropes about choice and anarchy that have been done before but it is needed to be seen from the eyes of Grant Mckay. Let's hope the landing delivers something unexpected. Scalera and Dinisio are a 10 as always! |

I'm sorry to say but this finale just did not deliver. I feel for Grant McKay but damn that was not the right thing to do no matter what the alternative realities dictate. The first pages were very poignant and totally had me hooked but lost me toward the end. Also Remender had done a great job all along and had this amazing world built but somehow he fumbled the ending a bit where he tried to juxtapose the ramifications of alternate realities while leaving the door open for something? but who knows what? Matteo Scalera and Moreno Dinisio are perfect as always since the art was not a problem here at all, if anything the art saved this final outing. |

Pretty good even if the twist was obvious for me but well done nonetheless. Kelly Thompson is good at this writing thing. Casagrande is awesome as usual but can work on some motion figures for certain positions when characters are moving in action but look static. Still the Hawkeye spread and the other 90% is fantastic!! DeLatorre looks like a pretty good one too. Looking forward to his art on issue 6. |

This one actually made sense in a sea of senseless romps. Duggan and Noto are a great team. But having your 19th chapter trying to make sense and tie up loose ends of the other 18 chapters will take away from it. I actually believe Hickman when he said he was trying to get fired but I guess the editors didn't question anything or even took it further than he even dared to go. |

Waid, Samnee and Wilson just put out a great ending to this mini-story. Not perfect but it hit on so many notes that make it a worthy story of what Captain America is and should be. The second story with Kirby's art just put a smile on my face and had me asking how did Kirby make this art so many decades ago. It's beautiful. The only down side to this comic is the price. Yes we have 18 more pages but if you keep raising prices i have no choice but to drop other books. I can't afford them all especially when multiple issues come out in the same week costing 5-6 dollars. Yes this book is worth the money but i had to skip X-men Blue this week because it was also 4.99. Sorry but this is a short sighted tactic that will hurt the industry long term. Rant over. |

Bet issue yet. Not ignoring Secret Empire and actually building on its main ideas. You cannot just brush that whole disaster aside like it was nothing. The complexities of what America has become today features heavily here. It doesn't go for the easy road either. Coates still has room to improve as his transitions are still off a bit. leinil Yu is in top form and is aided by Alanguilan inks and Gho colors. Beautiful panels. |

Some more exposition to go with the beautiful art from Yu/Alanguillan/Gho would have made more sense to me. I want more to read (yes i know i'm of the minority here). Just like all books nowadays, they read better as a collection. I wish i can wait for the TPB but the story is good and don't want it spoiled. |

I somehow enjoyed this one better than the last few ones even though it's still the same inching of the same story which has been a negative on the side stories. Coates managed this script better for sure and had the right tension but he needs to bring in the side stories around better. The art is good by Kubert who's made better by Martin Jr. moody colors. |

This actually is a pretty good issue. I stopped reading months ago because the narrative was lost for me and it dragged on without payoff and no sense of direction but I decided to pick this up since Acuna was on art. This issue actually shows Coates strengths as a writer where he takes these moments and deliver on the characters angsts juxtaposing it with others to make his points come through effortlessly. Acuna's art helped tremendously as the settings and faces landed well because it didn't look cartoonish for me as it was before. I wish Acuna can do more issues because they work well together. |

Very good! I like the way it's narrated and how we are taking our time across timelines and I'm happy that it takes more than 5 minutes to read. I can't stand my comics to be just art with 2 sentences and guys needlessly throwing punches for 10 pages. Jesus Saiz art is amazing. It has a clean and static feel to it that's less vibrant but the attention to details makes it a great fit. |

Very enjoyable read. I do like the slow cooking history lesson layered on the current threat. First that cover is nice with the pair of Aces and 8s. I looked it up and it 's a Dead mans hand. Second, the scene with CAP Misty and Strange with 3 timelines intersected was pure joy to read. Jesus Saiz's delivers almost perfect layering in those panels. His clean art makes it so much better only because once the artist switch happens, it's still good from Medina but the vibe changes. I hope they can keep artists separated in past vs present scenes since art dictates the experience. Hollingsworth coloring is top notch. |

Still very good at intertwining its two timelines and I'm looking forward to the delivery and hopeful we get a new wrinkle on an old tale. We'll see. Medina is great on art and he delivers beautiful pages but sometimes the faces look off especially established B characters that look different than how Saiz drew them and it throws me off like Mueller looking nothing how he was back in issue 1. I went back and forth trying to figure out what Strazynski was trying to get at but it was just an art inconsistency. A 5ft6' 250lbs guy shouldn't be made to look like a 6ft 200lbs guy 3 issues later especially that another guy fits that same profile already 2 pages before with the same facial hair and hairline. I'm nitpicking lol but I was genuinely lost thinking he was a Nazi agent. |

This truly feels like Steve Rogers stepped into battleworld or an alternative universe where he is shoehorned into a life full of exposition using him to build something I have no clue where it's going. Sure it reads nice and makes you think about life or death and having a choice or being thrust into action. Rogers is old school and he at least would have his own opinion based on his faith that is nowhere to be found. Jesus Saiz delivers some really fantastic and clean artwork. It's very good and only enhances the story wherever that's headed. Hollingsworth colors are almost perfect. |

Wonderful start here! It has everything I wanted and more. The writers team up looks to be working well! Also Carnero's art is a perfect match for that old time and classic feel while still maintaining the new edgy spy look and feel when needed. But man those Woodard colors are fantastic!! |

This book is a far better one than its Sam Wilson counterpart. The story by Kelly and Lanzing is far more intriguing and the suspense building is there. Also the art is fantastic! Carmen Carnero is a fantastic artist and she illustrated the world of CAP/Steve Rogers very nicely. Woodard's colors are also well layered to fit the environments and objects well without being flashy. Just beautiful. |

This story had everything you would want in a great Cap/ Steve Rogers book. The dialogue and voices are good, the mystery and intrigue, and even better a lot of beautiful art by Carnero/Woodard. But this issue just didn't land right. Too many holes starting with the shield that had a secret message from its original maker....hhmm but this shield was broken by Thanos decades ago and heck even shattered just a few months ago in Savage Avengers. How has this message remained there untouched for almost a century? Was it put back by whoever rebuilt it? I can't reconcile this point and the new organization aka the new Hydra just hasn't worked for me. Plus the nonsense overplayed bickering between Bucky and Peggy isn't working. I will stay with this book because I will give the writers enough time to answer questions and the art from Carmen Carnero is phenomenal. That splash page in the middle is gold! |

As a script and story doesn't make much sense from Bucky's angle. Carnero does the heavy lifting with her art. It has to carry the story and emotions to move the story forward. Without the beautiful art this would have been average. |

It's fine as a story but the Outer Circle is just not the big bad that the writers think they are. The main thing to keep up with this book is the Carmen Carnero art that is simply phenomenal 10/10. Woodard's colors here only make it look even better and I like his play with greys and colors in certain pages. |

It's a good Cap book and the art from Carnero is phenomenal with Woodard's beautiful colors. I wish I cared more about the outer circle narrative and that's the holding obstacle. I wish Kelly and Lanzing did a better setup. They went too big and You'd have to erase so much canon, history and use so much disbelief that it bogs the story down. It's enjoyable when you erase those elements. I keep reading mostly because Carnero is a master of her craft. |

I'm so cold on this event. Only few issues to go but the pacing, dialogue from Kelly and Lanzing is just not hitting the spot and the art just didn't work for me. To be fair though some action scenes were well illustrated and retro panels to Dimension Z were well planned and colored nicely by Woodard but I've been spoiled by Carnero and she is missed here. |

Aug 31, 2023 |
Carmen Carnero is an awesome artist that elevated this book beyond where Kelly and Lanzing had it. They initially set up the story with such high stakes and epic fanfare but in the end the outer circle running a 100 year game in full control defeated in the easiest way possible. The problem is every point where this story is supposed to get you onboard was a letdown. For example anyone can see that Bucky hasn't turned on Steve and was doing exactly what you'd expect. If this is your first espionage comic or first Captain America comic then yeah it's good but with the back drop of what came before it, it's not up to the standard. I mean you had Bucky with Steve blessing drop Wulfgang Fortunov at Dr. Doom's door and act as if you didn't kill him....alright cheerios our hands are clean and Cap is still the good guy YAY! Problematic. Props to Woodard for the amazing colors all around and especially how he made Nomad's skin and bucky's arm really different. |

It's good but a drop since the first. Thompson isn't building this world as the mystery she wants it to be. Things are happening and it's not gelling well. Carnero is awesome in the still frames with great colors from Bonvillain. But when it comes to the fight scenes, Carnero needs to work to improve the perspective of what we're seeing in order to follow the story better. |

A very fun issue. Thompson is well suited for this book. I dropped it 10 issues ago because it seemed to lose its momentum with the VS Avengers story. Saw good reviews so I decided to see what's up an it's pretty good even without following Empyre. Cory smith's art is nice too. I like the modern looks with the classic feel Especially the way the fight scenes are. War machine's armor looks phenomenal. I'm not sure if Benedetto's inks are the ones bringing that style out but Bonvillain's colors are always a treat. |

This book is losing me fast. It's OK but the Cates self service is not for me and it is not helping this story. The tropes are just repetitive now. For the people that love Cates and his books, this is great for you but he lost me somewhere in the middle of his Venom run and King in Black is a waste of time so I don't know what happened but Cates went from High on the list to low fast. I'll give it one more try next month and see. Shaw and Cunniffe are pretty good! |

This is just meaningless for me and I don't care anybody in this book or what or why they're doing what they're doing. I tried really hard to like it but alas it's not setup well with good characters or good backstories. I even had a discussion with one of the guys running my local shop and he said he loved god country but bailed on this book three issue in because of similar reasons. I went on to read X-men by Hickman after this and immediately was struck by how well Hickman has setup his book. Maybe not fair since I care for Laura and the X-men because of previous work but the flow and script for that issue alone is better than 5 issues of Crossover. Also it took 9 minutes to read this issue so that's another point against it... |

Daredevil Vol. 1

I'm catching up on my list from 10 years ago. I read issue 1 a decade ago on the Marvel app and didn't read the rest. I remember loving it but I was not 100% back into comics. I'm glad I bought the whole Mark Waid Daredevil run on tpb and this first volume is tremendous! Waid loves the character and it shows. His style and storytelling still reads great a decade later and I'm sure nobody will dispute that it is a classic by now. Paulo Rivera and Marcos Martin are fantastic. Rivera is just absolutely mind boggling with the styles, architecture, physiques, and character details. Marcos Martin is no slouch and is the best complementary artists to Rivera's style. I also liked Javier Rodriguez's colors since this was his Marvel debut. I can see the influences of Rivera and Martin on his future art. I wish Zdarsky's Daredevil had more of Waid's influences in his run because there is almost no levity in his and it is getting to be too much brooding which just takes the joy out of reading his. Not a problem here since I can't wait to devour Waid & Co. other volumes. |

It's very good writing by Waid but the sprinkled feel of the plot weakens the landing effects and the different artists take away from the stories unlike the previous one with Rivera and Martin.

Good issue. I don't care about King in Black so this took a dip for me but the narrative still holds and the 2 stories working around each other with 2 different artists actually worked here. Both Hawthorne and Checchetto are great but I have to give a shout-out to the inker Di Benedetto because his inks over Hawthorne pencils were fantastic. Finally that last page was so funny to me because all I can think of was All Might Plus Ultra because of the horns and the creepy forced smile lol now all I'm gonna think about is Hell's Kitchen Smash!! |

His compositions and character poses and facial expressions are tight. Di Benedetto's inks are really striking and I enjoy the way it emphasizes mike's pencils. Menyz on colors makes it all pop! I am gonna miss Mike Hawthorne at Marvel since this is his last book for them. He is one of their best artists this past decade. |

This issue is a bit weird and off in its composition. I see what Chip is trying to convey. It is a fact that prisons don't rehabilitate most of its populations and a lot do go back in. But the way Zdarsky is working it in doesn't gel for me. Also I was wondering how Matt was to get out of prison and the way it happened was weak. Nothing learned and nothing was worth it. Elektra's parts were much better and that is not saying much. Landini did a nice job! I hope we get back to form and finish this run strong. |

It's not bad but man this arc is running on fumes with many threads just moving haphazardly unlike earlier in the run. I get it, we are going into Devil's Reign so we wrap some things up and set other things but it feels disjointed. The art by Garcia was OK and didn't work for me so it took away from my enjoyment. |

This was OK to read and none of the retcon hit as it has for others and just falls flat. I almost don't care at this point and I think I need to step away from this book for a while. Zdarsky has lost a lot of his goodwill from the early dozen issues but Dark Reign was not good. It doesn't help that I'm currently reading the Waid/Rivera/Samnee run and it's much better overall. The art was good and not the problem here. Checchetto and Co are great! |

It's a decent read. Nothing ground breaking from Ahmed but the way Matt is already back was too quick and the previous run stuff feels brushed under the carpet too quick. Good premise but after so many repetitive exorcisms, I need something else to hook me and this story just doesn't have it. What it has though is great art. Kuder is fantastic as always and he shines in this book with some sweet coloring from Aburtov. Also Farid Karami is a future star. His art is way too good and he will shine in the future. Ultimately art can only do so much without real meat to the story. |

It was very OK and the characters had to be reduced back to what they were a while back in order to have this setup make sense. It's forced and feels counterproductive. Kudos to the people that enjoy Kubert's art but it's not for me. |

Mike Hawthorne worked his butt off for 80 pages and it's worth the money. Duggan's humor is hit or miss so some scenes feel useless to me but there are enough great things happening that the overall book works. The price will not get new people on board and might get some people to drop it but i was OK with it. |

Best issue so far is SE arc. The present parts are nice and funny and look great by Lolli which makes the past sequences only hit hard because of how Duggan cultivated the relationship between Deadpool and Preston for years. The way Hawthorne drew those pages are worth the price of the issue alone. The looks on Preston and Wade's faces will haunt me for a while. |

Picked this up since I love Libranda's art but wasn't following the series based on the first few issues. It was cute with some nice moments and the art was fantastic but they lost me at the end as yet another character is dying....yes another one. I just can't anymore with everyone dying. How many times do we have to do this story? I'll check back later to see what Thompson makes of it. I hope I'm wrong. |

It was OK. Cates didn't deliver a proper story or even a hint as to why we're here but he spends more time with the King contemplating Rome which i just don't buy at all. That part took away from the emotion Cates was going for with all of the carnage. Too bad i had high hopes. Unfortunately Olivetti's art isn't his best here. He's going for a different style and it just didn't work for me. He's still very good but somehow didn't match his greatness of past. I will continue to read and see where Donny takes us and i have faith in him but this wasn't good. |

Cates cannot make me care about this story and i love the Inhumans. I found a book that Cates can't make it work. It had to happen sooner or later. Something in the process of info delivery/dumping just makes the story almost meaningless. My other disappointment is the art. I love Olivetti's style so much but somehow he is not delivering his usual great stuff here. Lines look rushed and he's definitely trying a new style but it's lacking his usual flair. Too bad because i was looking forward to this series. (Back to Venom i go). |

This issue has some improvements over the last one and somehow gets to a more coherent direction. The art improved also but maybe i'm just getting used to this new style Ariel Olivetti is trying. It also could be that he's not coloring his own art and it adds to the differences. |

This series needed better planning and better art. Both creators (Cates + Olivetti) are great but this fourth issue just doesn't work. From the disconnected story telling which is trying to be continue the mystery but just comes off confusing. The last part is the only thing that saved this story. Olivetti again just doesn't succeed in his new style. Some panels are rushed and the detail i loved about his art before is lacking in many parts. I mean i get trying new things but it's not working for me. I'll be there for the last issue but i really don't know why? |

I really tried to like this book and stuck with it but alas it's not good. I guess writing the inhumans is a hard thing to do for recent writers and Donny Cates is no exception. Olivetti's new art style while decent, just hasn't grown on me and isn't as good as his previous work. |

MadCap needed a better ending if this is what it claims it is. Having to follow Madcap's shenanigans for years to end it like this? I get it: Deadpool is his own worst enemy but still felt like it was lacking. I'm hard on Duggan because he's capable of better. Koblish's style lacked the details it had in the previous cable arc so that didn't help. Still a good book by all standards and the last page keeps me wanting more. Edit: I was too hard on Koblish. After looking at it again it's actually no different than his previous books. Maybe different inking? I must've been tired while reading. |

This story is fun and a celebration of comics and I love it for that but the narrative itself is structured wrong and Miguel is continuously making the same mistake over and over again because we need to showcase 4 Dials and we have 12 issues so it feels disjointed to constantly hurry up and wait.

I enjoyed this book a lot. What a lovely love letter to hero comic books from Humphries and Quinones. It is exactly what I needed to read at this moment. Humphries keeps it simple, emotional and effective. Quinones was able to replicate so many artists and their unique styles from Mobius to Allred to toriyama to Alex Ross and a dozen more. His art skills are impeccable. This book wouldn't work without him. He is the MVP here. |

Waid has done it. I had my doubts about his style after Cates's take. Man is Waid flexing his writing ability here. But that's just the half of it. This book is beautiful to look at and i found my self asking how does Jesus Saiz do it? It must've taken him a while. Those details, shadows and colors are perfect! |

It certainly is entertaining and huge in scope. But the delivery is somehow missing the urgency it's trying to convey. Waid and Kitson are doing some nice work still and I've enjoyed the last few issues. Kitson's line and Koblish's finishes work well together but I do want to see Koblish take a crack at an issue just by himself because I think he'll deliver his unique point of view that I loved in other books. Reber colors were nice and I enjoyed the Splash page with Dr. Strange blow on Galactus. Very clever layering of colors. |

Plenty of great dramatic moments with classic Marvel tales tension by Waid and Kitson! You feel for strange and all he has to endure and yet at the end you're not surprised by the outcome. Also I can't see how they will make him go lower but they will! Kitson rough pencils with Koblish's finishes are at their best in this issue. Beber delivers a classic color palette. |

Not knowing too much about them, I actually enjoyed this first issue and the art didn't disappoint since Ribic is a master of setting up worlds and environments. Gillen did just enough to guide me here and I followed along and took a few minutes here and there to connect the dots just fine. His humor though doesn't work well every time so that takes off some. I have to say that Wilson's colors were great overall but I'm not sure why some scenes were so dimmed down with the greyish blue hues. I get the moods they're conveying but it could be a bit brighter. |

I really liked this one a lot. It finally clicked for me after a few unpolished ones that were saved by Ribic's art. Here, it shows Gillen's writing chops that even with the two artists of Ribic and Vilanova it still worked well. I liked Vilanova's style and I don't mind seeing him do an more books but he's no Ribic (nobody can match his style). Props to Wilson for doing great coloring throughout to give it that continuity. Bring on the vengeance! |

Ribic and Wilson deliver great art that's 99.5% pure joy to look at but those few panels with Carol Danvers's face were so weird and off that I wish I can be there next to Ribic when he spends hours doing the page and it looks so technical and stunning then still mess up a face like that :-). Thanos on the other hand has never looked better!! |

It was made even better by Gracia's colors. I knew his colors were familiar so i checked and he was the colorist for Immonen back in All New X-men in 2013. Gracia made it look very similar and i enjoyed the consistency. Kudos to everyone!! |

This felt like a letdown especially when I know what Duggan is capable of. The start was very promising but then it just kept going down hill and ended sloppily. Let's hope it's better next time. Werneck's art is always beautiful but some panels are very rough like when Nimrod gets spit on with amber by Krakoa. While that's a dumb premise anyway, Werneck's very rough art makes it way too cartoony and it falls very flat. Werneck is a new artist and I do hope he works on these aspects of his art. He still deliver amazing stuff like Polaris's ending page. |

This was like reading a bulletin point explanation of what's happening. It felt too formulaic to fully digest or enjoy for me. Duggan can do better and has before multiple times but this feels like we're in a hurry or a means to an end. Interesting ideas in some panels are lost in the bigger picture. Lucas Werneck has gotten better and his art is some splash pages is wonderful. Other panels are still in need of attention especially the actions sequences. Finally that M.O.D.O.K. resignation letter is a waste of space. Hickman brought the data pages to prominence but no other writer knows how to use them properly except for Al Ewing. |

White letting this ship?? Art is passable and a waste of time and money. Shame because this is making sure I never pick up another X book after the Krakoa era ends. At least I have Al Ewing/Vecchio and Gillen/Silva giving a 120% to finish this thing PROPER!! |

Duggan and Werneck saved their best for last. It's a low bar but kudos for somewhat making it more cohesive than the previous mess. Duggan started well with his X-Men run but the end of and the Fall of X issues were a disappointment. Still I'm glad Werneck delivered some pretty nice panels and splash pages here to salvage something out of this. Shout out to Caselli coming out of the bullpen to deliver some crisp pages at the end. Last stop is almost here and I'm ready to leave the X-Men behind for a while. |

Slott has a good handle on these guys and it might feel a bit like an homage to Stan and Kirby's F4 but it works well enough here. Dr. Doom doing good by evil means has got me again asking why now? but we'll see how he gets treated further and maybe Slott will explain it better. This book has 4 artists but somehow it's still good because maybe Yackey colored it all and brought it together. Kuder, Marquez, Caselli and Brown deliver some nice scenes but I hope they find one artist and have him do full arcs before switching again. This book would've been awesome with Kuder alone. |

A bit of a letdown after such a stellar last issue. The idea is great but the delivery was lacking a bit for me. Having the perspective of the Unparalleded on the story while I go on for pages not understanding what any of the F4 are saying was a turn off for me. I get what they wanted to do but it didn't work for me. The art was great and the transition between artists was noticeable but did not take from the story. |

It was good! Some would call them retcons others would call them flushing out old threads and making them new again but whatever it is some work well and others not so much! The concept and ideas are great but the way the story comes apart toward the end. I was there with The Thing until it fell apart in the rubble with the Overseer. So the highs were good but they didn't sustain. The art was mixed artists but it kinda worked overall. Some were clean sharp along with busy, beautiful and border line crowded. The colorist Arciniega makes the blend better. What any comic book needs is consistency and F4 has yet to get a full arc with one artist. Maybe I'm wrong but I can't keep up with how many artist worked on this book the last year and half which kills it for me. |

FF is fantastic! Slott was made to write this. You have to bring the family and make it the backbone upon which everything revolves. RB Silva sure brought his A game here and mix it with Aburtov's vibrant colors and it looks very much alive. |

The story is enjoyable so far but it does need some picking up soon. The art change between Silva and Ramirez and Carlos doesn't help. I thought we were over this crap. Can we get one artist to do 5 issues straight please? it's killing this book. |

There is enough going on here to keep you interested but it also has way too many points made that break up the story and the end was just too rushed. This book benefits a lot from Silva's art and Aburtov's colors making it look fantastic. |

More of the same at trying to juggle many subplots that flail around trying to make a picture but nothing that grips my attention so far. Slott needs to figure out his stuff quick because this book is not fun anymore and needs proper direction. Silva was better than the previous issue with better executed and detailed compositions. Javier Rodriguez is always a nice bonus. |

This was enjoyable. I was afraid it would be a 20 page story with 80 pages filler but really glad it was a proper anniversary issue story done right. Romita Jr is a hit or miss and his art can be so good in one page and then rushed and lifeless the next but overall it fits the story well to give it that classic feel. |

Slott knows how to weave a narrative together, he just keeps the ball in the air too long and can't close stories out right. So yes this was a good chapter but I want to see conclusions of many threads hanging for way too long but maybe I'm asking for too much here. I normally can spot a shift in artists between pages but Leon and Sanchez fit well together here. |

OK! Reckoning War needs to shake things up or I might be done with this run. Slott is fine as an FF writer and he knows his stuff but I need more than fine. We are settings things up for years now but the payoff is just not there. Classic Slott storytelling. Not bad but not great either! |

Finally, the FF book came together after suffering for a while lingering about. Slott is always great in these first few issues of an event, he just has trouble landing the plane. Many threads came together which made reading these past few years worth it. Rachael Stott is a fantastic artist and is made for this. I got some Stefano Caselli vibes in some frames. Aburtov's colors were very complementary to her style. I'm on board for this Slott/Stott train. |

It's not bad and has enjoyable parts but it's crowded in certain spots and why on earth is the Cormorant appearing out of thin air. The absence from issue 25 to issue 43 just felt unearned and an excuse to bring Doom into the fray. Slott fills the deck with many actors then has trouble juggling the endings so we'll see how he makes this disjointed story into a coherent end. Rachael Stott and Andrea Di Vito worked well together and I couldn't distinguish between the two but the art needs to get better and crisper but I assume that comes with time and practice although time is not on the side of artists at Marvel. |

It tries too much since it took on too much from the get go but it actually does enough to hit the right notes when it counts. It also has misses and clobbered moments but the heart is there. The art was a mixed bag with 3 artists who give good pages and weak ones. I wish Rachael Stott would get enough time to do a whole arc because her first issue was a banger. Now, how to undo the damage with satisfactory resolution? We'll see. |

It was a good send off. Slott does a soft landing with his ideas and give the next team a lot to work with although it feels like we have so many wasted ideas, threads and moments from these past 4 years. Slott did OK and I enjoyed most of his run but I'm ready for a big idea and a cosmic minded writer to take the reigns. Farid Karami's art was good and he has a good grasp on anatomy and action scenes. He delivered some nice visuals that looked nice with Aburtov's vibrant colors! |

This issue was not the place to introduce a new player or maybe do it better. Slott had to tie loose ends way too quickly for the next writer but it was off for me. Overall the series had good moments but many bad ones too. Cafu and Aburtov were great on art. |

A really good FF story with Sue Storm being the leading actor as she deserves to be. Juan Cabal with his good art as usual but his bar is so high that I'm missing his crazy panel designs. I'm still waiting for Waid to come back and give me the Sue Storm: Agent of Shield ongoing we asked for. |

Metamind and Reed Richards had some tremendous panels together. It had me caring for it and not wanting to go but as we know it's never the end. Best issue of the series so far.

Great one and done mystery. I enjoyed his explanations and work arounds but it's still filled with plot holes and McGuffins but I suspend belief when I enter this realm and Ryan North does a good job covering most of the bases. It was enjoyable but North overdoes it sometimes and it feels like a classroom lesson lol. Not every conversation has to sound like a pseudo-genius is talking. I command Ryan North for making this into 1 issue instead of an arc that would have bored us to death. Carlos Gomez on art was great and he fits right in. |

Great issue! The Film noir angle was done almost perfectly by North and Kudos to Gomez on the amazing art that made this shine especially with Aburtov's perfect coloring. Ryan North continues his one and done take lately and it works since it slowly moves the backstory along. This could have been stretched but why overstay your welcome. |

It's got all of the usual FF story elements. A first issue with some setup that works against it. Some classic feel story that includes #s and meme references don't make it a 21st century comic book. So it's off and mismatched as far as the writing goes. Neal Adams has some brilliant pages mixed with some off pages but not enough to take away from it. It's OK. |

This is absolutely FANTASTIC! I feel like Stan Lee and Jack Kirby did it. Absolutely the best looking graphic novel this year so far. Alex Ross changes his style and especially his coloring style yet again and he deserves all the praises he's getting. If you enjoy the original FF from the 60s (and who doesn't), this is a no brainer. |

ASM by Wells has a good back to form here but man that bad taste from the current run is still there so I'm not sure what to make of this. Gleason should be on the current run. I don't know why they're not putting him in the rotation because his art was phenomenal. I actually enjoyed the Venom tease because of the way Al Ewing makes this story with the goofiest symbiote enjoyable and especially with Cafu on art. I will pick it now and read back from issue 17 as suggested by other people. Again the Hickman tease is weak and I'll be skipping the whole Ultimate Universe stuff. |

I haven't read any Johns work for years and this was nice work. It felt like reading a Mark Waid story...very good comic-booking. Gary Frank deserves more accolades. |

A concept that has been done before so I'll hold judgement for now but how many times do I have to see one more soul not willing to move to the afterlife story with many caretakers' team ups straight out of the futuristic 80s. Flaviano is absolutely dialed in and his art is crisp, clean and tight lined or muddied when it's suited. We'll see what the twist is but this is a decent start for a good comic to a new reader but nothing ground breaking to someone that has consumed other similar stories. |

This book doesn't disappoint. I wish it had more room to breath and stories to be told at the pace Duggan had in mind but even in his last few issues heading toward Infinity Countdown, the story doesn't suffer especially when Marcus To is helming the art duties for a while now giving it a beautiful vision. Old characters popping up helps as well! |

If you approach this as an "end", it will feel like a disappointment that had many things still unresolved. But as part of the series and more of a link to what's next it's pretty good. I've been reading this book for the GOTG and Adam Warlock return was just part of it. Disjointed! Yes but that's more on the premature end than on Duggan. After all of this i still enjoyed reading very much so and look forward to part 2. Kuder's pages were great as usual but i had to get used to his design for Adam Warlock. Marcus To actually made it look much better. Marcus To is a legitimate artist who delivered a nice treat with Herring's amazing coloring! |

Very well put together. Cates mostly gets his lines and scenes right to keep the story progressing while managing all of the lines. Some off one liners but the good far out-ways the bad. It looks like Cates is also mixing certain things but I'll wait and see where Wraith is headed. Anyway, he has all of the usual suspects on-board...now's the time to punch it into overdrive. Shaw is great as usual here especially the last few pages where he truly composes those scenes from just the right angles with the right facial expressions to get the mood right. |

Not essential at all. Al Ewing and Cates stories are good but the other two were clunky and murky maybe by design but it didn't land right for me. Art was good too and nothing spectacular. |

Awesome comic booking! Ewing delivers great and fun dialogue with plenty of team(s) banter. Marvel boy shines here especially with Cabal's art. Seriously flawless art and hilarious expressions and moments. His panels are well structured pieces. Federico Blee and GURU-eFX’s colors are fantastic too. I'm still smiling just thinking about stupid things like Rocket's mustache. |

Great issue where the hero is actually going through the proper channels to get himself fixed. Also a great way to get those quiet conversation moments more weight instead of just dumping them there. Ewing is perfect for this. Takaro was a great artist for this type of issue and I think he nailed it. |

Outstanding Ewing book that's Star-Lord centric with some crazy ideas that were masterfully delivered by Juan Cabal. I always enjoy these weird set ups from Ewing and I hope he gets to deliver on them later as there are some bonkers and tip offs that could either be straight fire or a complete dud. We'll see! Enjoying this book very much and the art is just so good! |

This was good and actually kept my attention and used the Knull nonsense to advance its own narrative. I don t care about Knull at all like null. Im glad Ewing still played with the concept for his own gain. The art is fantastic as always with Cabal delivering sharp and clean mashups and layouts. |

It's a good issue and I did enjoy it but some pages felt off and somehow didn't gel as a unit. It's how Ewing writes it where it is great at times and feels vague and unnecessarily disconnected other times. Still a great Guardians book as far as I am concerned and recommend it if you like Ewing's style. Cabal is fantastic as always and Blee's colors were perfect! |

This issue as a finale for the last annihilation event is surely a rushed mess with very few merits. Dormammu was never the big bad guy after all....I get it Ewing but it didn't land as well as he wanted and that gets me to the second point which is yet again another GOTG run down the sink. It was very promising and interesting but didn't connect well with people I guess and I don't blame them. At least it was better than Cates's mess. RIP....I'll see you when GOTG-3 comes out. |

Ewing is a great writer. The humor landed so well for me. I skipped all the other event annuals and picked this up because I follow GOTG and had very low exceptions. Ewing blew them out of the water. Hilarious stuff! Flaviano is the perfect fit for this. The poses and expression in some scenes were tremendous. I need more of these 2 knuckleheads in GOTG and I wish Flaviano does an arc too. |

This is not good on the script/writing side but good on the art side from Sandoval and company. Was the mandate from editorial to go real heavy on making this book a bad copy of the MCU GOG? because success: We have a really bad copy of James Gunn's movies. Drax especially was butchered here. All of Al Ewing's improvements especially with Quill are gone. I love the movies and I love the GOG as they are in the comics and they should not be twin copies of each other. Some threads and links can be copied but not like this. Skip a 100%. Marvel comics just don't know what to do with these characters. |

Zeb Wells is the most consistent writer in this bunch. He is actually moving the story forward and the editors are letting/helping along much better than the other books. The scripts are always amusing and tight with plenty to shew on. I do miss Segovia as I would have preferred him on art duty this issue but Roge Antonia is not bad, just a bit rushed for my taste. Hellions has been moved up to #1 in the X-line of books closely followed by New Mutants. That's it. I follow X-men by Duggan because Pepe Larraz is a tremendous artist. |

What if Squadron Supreme/Mephisto story that builds on what Aaron was playing with years ago in the Avengers book before that went down the toilet. This is the only reason I'm reading this to get closure on that angle of the story that went nowhere for 30 issues of nonsense....did I mention the Avengers book was crap...yeah because they stopped that story and dragged the teasing for years then made an event of it called Heroes Reborn. We'll see if that was worth it?? So far the narrative has been done before many times but I'll let that go and enjoy the next chapter. McGuinness, Morales and Wilson are wonderful together which enhances the story a lot. |

While some aspects like diving into Hyperion's mind are better than last issue, others like how Steve Rogers was freed was a big question mark. Many pages are just there to make you go pick up the tie-ins. That is stupid because the story should tell you everything you need to know instead of shelling out more money. Still on board here with this but we better deliver details next time otherwise it's not going to work for the whole series to get summary text boxes of whole issues. Keown is OK but Magno was better detailed. McGuiness, Morales and Wilson should do the whole thing because they are as tight as can be. |

At this point I am done expecting a proper narrative and just taking this for what it is: fun nonsense that's trying to make sense. This one actually did better and made me want to continue with the story even as we are missing too much information. This could have benefited from being a 12 story arc on the Avengers book instead of a cash grab that it is. Federico Vicentini is phenomenal here and I loved his art on ASM. The art made the narrative so much better. McGuiness, Morales and Wilson on the back up are tight as ever. |

Continuing on the same crazy path as already established, this issue feels somewhat crazier and better even if it suffers from the same problem which is the world building that needs to happens as the issue unrolls and that is very hard to do. Could have been much better as an Avengers series with room to breath and build the Squadron Supreme properly but alas we take what we can get I guess. Good and fun take from Aaron on the idea of a manipulated "Hero" who really is a sociopath on a rampage. Stokoe is outstanding as always and I'm happy I got to witness his crazy detailed art here. |

This is actually was not bad and better! Aaron plays around with many Marvel and DC staples here but that also was problematic because you could not spend enough time flushing out as it went and many were just throw away. The art was fantastic by Aaron Kuder and those Dean White colors were perfect! The art helped this issue a lot. The problem I have is that this story could have existed in the Avengers book and had time to be flushed out and room to breath so we can have a proper story instead of mentioning the avengers for 2 pages here and there only to have them show up in one page. |

Not bad but the fun matchups can only go so far without details about why Squadron Supreme of America is better than the Avengers? Details?? What has Mephisto really done here? How Characters end up where they are....too may to count. Again I reaffirm that this could have been addressed properly in the Avengers book where I would have followed along for 24 issues with details instead of getting Moon Knight and Phoenix nonsense for a dozen issues that did nothing for me. McGuiness's art, Morales's inks and Wilson's colors were fantastic!!! One of the only redeeming things here. The last page is a slap in the face as if I will follow the Avengers book again after dragging me along for 30 issues about nothing. You can do better than this. I'm out! |

Pure sweet nostalgia with some outstanding and impressive art compositions from Javier Rodriguez. Waid is just a curator for a huge research team so this isn't a story at all and more an impressive look at how continuity at Marvel was somehow maintained but with some issues here and there...and I'm fine with that. This is also had so much stuff crammed in there showcasing how many fracking events happened in recent MARVEL history and it's only getting worse. |

Now this is as Hickmanesque as it gets and I love it! The X-men certainly needed new ideas and this is it in my humble opinion. Bold and creative and dense and my kinda comic book. Imagery, charts and sequences that soothe my researcher mind. The art is trully what makes me love it because I have never seen Magneto's cloak look that good and that's just one of the thousands of details that jumped at me in Pepe Larraz's art. Fantastic artist is understatement. He improved his art and I thought it was great before. Gracia's colors are always a perfect match to Larraz's style. Highyly recommend it if you like Hickamn's style. |

Great X-men issue with your traditional story told with Hickman's flare. If this is a preview of his X-men book later then I'm good to go. Because his sense of drama and suspense interwoven between the scenes is spot on and had me on the edge of my seat. But this book would not be this good without the outstanding art of Larraz (the guy is on fire) and Gracia's colors. These guys are just perfect together! |

Outstanding issue. Hickman is just killing it along with many other X-men along the way. How he manages to deliver the emotional and action hits well....I don't know but they have weight to them. I don't know how he gets out of this one and I don't care because I'm all in. The story will not have the tone or weight it has without the amazing art of Pepe Larraz and Marte Gracia's colors. These two are delivering the best panels I've seen all year! One little thing is this would have been a 10 if Jean had more to do at the end. But we'll see how she's handled later. |

Christopher Chance said it best to sum up how screwed he was from the get go "It was a good game. went to overtime. But we lost in the end."

While it felt like a departure from the main story now that the mystery is over, it still was enjoyable in showcasing the helplessness of Christopher Chance. King is going through the JLI members and had to add his military college Bonaparte/Russian war philosophy of how much acceptable loss are you willing to take in order to win in the end especially when you only have a couple of days left to live. Underestimate a Russian at your own peril. Smallwood action scenes were fantastic and his coloring of impacts reflects the anger from both sides. |

The somber emotions are well done but it's not as impactful as it should be. It's going for a different take but I'm just not fully invested. Smallwood makes it read beautifully. |

The ride took a slow course towards the end leaving all the suspense from the first half behind to tell a simple human story about characters trying to escape their fate while denying the inevitable loss. A tale of 2 halves that somehow make a hybrid story that only works in this world. It's not bad as a story but if it wasn't for Greg Smallwood's fantastic art, I would've quit a while ago. So kudos to Greg Smallwood who made it shine. |

It's a good story by Soule and it's got mystery but this isn't what i had in mind. Logan was barely there. The art was nice and complimented the stories. Ultimately 6 dollars for a tease is straight gangsta! I'm sad to say i can't buy 12 more issues to follow the story. Love you Logan but i can't afford this. |

This should have worked much better than it did and I'm not sure why exactly. It had all the elements I was waiting for to drop but maybe that's the problem. It didn't bring enough new angles to the story or to these characters for me. It just showcases the struggles with Sinister and how much worse Emma can get but we already knew all of this. But above all of this the story has a problem because they're all bad here so instead of making Alpha Sinister the core of the story he is diluted and spit back out through the other characters tainted by his DNA. Don't get me wrong Sinister deserves this and more but Gillen doesn't land it as well as I thought it could be. |

Well done by Gillen! Finally an issue that works. It benefits from the few extra pages but stays away from filling them with the 100 year gap with unnecessary info that would take the focus away. Worldbuilding is needed here but can't work in one issue but a 5 issue mini. Andrea Di Vito on art gets better as the issue went on and delivers great detailed pages. He needs to be in the rotation when Immortal comes back. |

I dig the writing and the art as Ewing and Garcia delivered a great story that set up a whole world worth exploring but is it truly an Immortal Hulk story connected to what I read for 24 issues?

It's fantastic even more so than usual. Ewing, more than 30 issues in, still finds ways to get me emotional about shady characters I shouldn't care about. I mean Dr. McGown's past sequence intro was perfect and the ending just the same. Matched with great clean art by Javier Rodriguez. I'm still thinking about GlowBoy...damn! Xemnu on the other hand was just as interesting and I love Ewing's dialogue for him. What more to say about Bennet, Jose and Mounts....flexing their art muscles as always! Sometimes we read awesome things illustrated by even better artists and we take them for granted because they become the new normal....well enjoy this run because it's special! |

Great addition to the Immortal family. Nicely done. A story that goes through Jen's history back from Empyre, Avengers business, Civil War 2 and others to give a background for what's to come. It's an Ewing/Marvel book that shows different angles of what already happened and even gives you what Jason Aaron has yet to do in his book with Thor and She-Hulk plus the leader. It's a must if you really enjoy Immortal Hulk. But if you're short on cash I'm sure it will be reiterated in the main story. |

This book has so many angles on so many characters that you can't trust anything you read especially when Sinister is in the driver seat or is he? Goes on to unnecessary territory with the son of Nazareth which adds nothing to the story for me but takes away from it. Werneck was outstanding and it's obvious his art style changed for the better in this series. Now this feels as if we are back on track but I have to see in 6 months where we are after being in the mud for more than a year now. |

It's good drama but this didn't hit for me as it did for many here because Destiny by herself or with Raven were never that interesting to me except when they interact with others (Moira or Sinister for example). I do like the concept of nexus events but still hesitant about how it translates into what transpired. But to each his own. Still better than what happened during dawn of X and we're headed in the right direction. Werneck is great especially those vision pages! |

Very good tie-in and a nice expansive issue on A.X.E. illustrating how an evil man functions in a messed up world. Guillen makes it compelling how fragile Shaw is with how much illusive power he's after. I just have a problem with the transitions especially when the Demon shows up out of nowhere during the council and I'm not sure if it's on Werneck or Gillen but Werneck does a nice job on art and it fits well for an issue with so many inner-monologues, speeches and narratives. |

Well done! Gillen is at home here in this book and his work here almost makes me want to continue with Fall of X but as with the quite council, the fall was set in stone a while ago and no matter what they try, they can't escape it. Werneck really delivers the good. Still, I would suggest to him to work on his movements in fights and attacks portraying magic which were lacking but other than that he's right on the money. |

A very good and intriguing ending to Immortal X-Men. By far the best book in the lineup post Hickman leaving. Gillen could have made it flow better with better narration in the boxes but it still works well when you sit back and think about it. RYP might not have been the best choice here but it's very good and detailed art where there are no shortcuts taken. It drives the book forward but sometimes the emotions or flow doesn't translate for me. Might be me but I do appreciate the effort especially in scenes like where Mother Righteous gets kicked in the face with beauty and Curiel's colors are very nice. |

I'm on the fence on this one. Good setup overall and keeps flowing but I already know 90% of this stuff and I spent money already to read it so the 10% new material isn't worth $10. As someone mentioned this should have been the Marvel Comics 1001 and it would have been much better then but the price is an issue for me as it keeps me from picking up other books. This should have been proportionally priced below $5 to get people to pick it up but Marvel has to squeeze us for every dime. We'll see where this goes but as of now I'll check out the Road to Empyre and decide then. |

I have to say as a series that is the true follow up to HOX/POX, it was disappointing. The hype was too high. As a single chapter it suffered from repeating previous beats and trying to lay the ground work for what comes next. Some of its off feel is just pure Hickman typical work but also characters like Moira that finally show up but feel hollow although I'm sure Hickman was going for mysterious. Things weren't supposed to be like this. The last few pages save this one. That being said, I will take this and enjoy it for what it is and hope things would have worked out better in another universe. Schiti and Curiel did a great job. Boy I wish Larraz was on this! |

It is the best ending we could have considering the situation the X-Office is in right now and that's not a bad thing necessarily. Hickman delivered the ending that ties up some loose ends in spectacular fashion and sets up future writers to play around in his sand box until he comes back someday (one can dream!). We'll never know what the real thing would have been but I'm glad I was there and this issue delivers. We can't get a true HOX/POX ending but this a fitting 2nd course. Valerio Schiti and Curiel were outstanding here and the style and inking kept changing in key scenes and I loved it for that. Kudos to them! |

Good issue but somehow some of the events didn't resonate well with me. Great art from Hawthorne and Kuder but the narrative felt disjointed still. I'm on board and waiting for the Infinity watch. I just wished this was given time to breath. It's obvious (as has been known for a while now) this would have been told in multiple issues but GOTG was cancelled so events had to be crammed in the Countdown. Duggan is still doing as best as possible. |

Duggan ties up his GOTG loose ends as he sets up the Infinity Wars with Kuder doing his usual great vibrant art. It was awesome seeing his GOTG art one last time except for his kang interpretation which just looked off. But the best part here is the Soul Stone World where Gamora and Hank Pym interact and Dr. Strange trying to re-form an Infinity Watch. Hawthorne delivered beautiful art that fit the intimate tone of his scenes. Jordie Bellaire's colors were outstanding. Duggan manages to get better at the end and has me looking forward to what's next. |

The story is lacking in proper construction. The narrative isn't clear as to what is happening. It sounds big and important but the details aren't there. Characters show up and i'm supposed to care about them. No time spent on them and where they're from. I can't afford to buy the tie-ins so i'm lost as to who is what and why they're here. Just as fast as they show up, they're divided back to their old selves. I wanted to see Kamala Kang in action and some mash-ups sound intriguing but the time was not spent developing them at all. I'm hard on this issue because i really wanted to get on board the story especially when Deodato Jr. and Martin are great on art even if some panels are unclear and don't help follow Duggan's story. He did much better earlier on. I hope he brings around in the last two. |

It's not complicated but why do i care about the story? I loved GOTG book and i'm still here because of it but new readers won't have that background. Great mashups of characters which are maybe the strength of this event are also the weak links because we don't have enough info and development on them. I give it an 8 because i did enjoy Duggan's humor in many parts of the story. But man was this a great idea that wasn't well delivered. Deodato Jr. and Martin are pros at this and their art is great but still some details in the story could be missed because of the static moments that don't translate the script well. |

Average ending. The art by Deodato and Martin is great but the story is just so opened ended with no real finite answers. A few nice nods here and there but this one stings because i really enjoyed the GOTG books by Duggan from the start with Kuder's fantastic art, tagged along with some nice concepts during the Countdown with Hawthorne's beautiful visuals and i was enjoying them. Then came the main event and i liked the first few issues because of what Duggan was building but that all came crumbling down in issue 3. I somehow can't see this ending here justifiable of my spent time and money. I Have yet to read an event worth my time since Hickman's Secret Wars. |

Now this is the ending that Royals deserved. Fantastic wrap up story by Ewing highlighting how much our crew went through. You got your happy ending now .....well almost. How he managed Maximus, Medusa and Black Bolt voices deserves credit. But ultimately the story is only bolstered by the art team of Libranda/Villarubia and DelMundo. Each delivered it in their own layers of the story and they complemented each other well. The DelMundo phase was just on another level of surreal which fit the tone of those pages well. Anyway Floob! |

It's enjoyable though and the art is fantastic! |

Best issue yet and it's a bit late for me since it took us a while to get here. It's already off my pull list (twice now during this run and for the last time). I wish Cantwell didn't take so long to develop this arc. This needs 6 issues at best. I love the surprise ending but I guess I'll never know now. Cafu is the only thing that made me stick with book and he delivers spectacularly tight art and D'Armatta colors were very nice yet again! Too bad. |

After skipping an issue I picked this back up especially with Cafu back. I have to say it was good. I wish Cantwell didn't stretch things because he can do issues like this one much earlier. We did not need 9 issues to get here but maybe I'm not made for slow churning story telling that emphasizes other characters like Hellcat more than the main characters....This is an Iron Man book after all, which I haven't seen in a while. |

I finally had this book show up after Diamond shipped my store damaged ones so It's been a while. Sometimes the reader and the writers are on different wavelengths. Cantwell and I are on different orbits. I guess this is just not the book for me. I have added and dropped this book from my list 3 times in 10 issues. Never had a ride like this with any other book. As soon as I think it's clicking the next issue just makes it all go south. Some of the decisions making in this and the plot points emphasized are just puzzling for me. Cafu and D'Armatta are outstanding and make it all bearable but that's it for me. I will go away now and leave you guys to enjoy this. |

It's OK. I feel like i would've liked this comic book 10 years ago. Decent story by Ewing with great art (Kudos to Libranda and Vecchio) i'm just not the target audience for this book and i'm looking for different stories. If you already like Ironheart, you'll love it. As for me the search continues. Side note why does Marvel price #1s at $5.? If i knew that before i got to pay for it i would have put it back. Marvel needs comics like these to succeed but pricing it higher for younger readers isn't helping. |

Good series. It's comfort food comic booking from Geoff Johns. I enjoyed reading it knowing how most of what will happen. The agents leaving at the end was a dumb thing and felt like a quick wrap up instead of what actually would have happened since he'll be back. Still I liked the story's focus on veterans for a general audience. The star here is Gary Frank's art with some sweet coloring by Brad Anderson. Gary Frank is amazing and has unreal ability. I'm sure this book took a while to put together. |

Very well done. Not familiar with Kelly and Lanzing but from this one issue they knock it out of the park. Very well done story about can one really escape his nature even if he got another chance again and again? We'll see! Magno's art is truly amazing here and the time it must've took him to make some of those details has to be a lot. No shortcuts or scribbled small panels. Everything was on point from Magno. Great DelMundo cover and beautiful colors from Grundetjern! |

It got better than the last few but still not very clear at the end. It got lost in its own loop and lost me with it in key moments. I had to re-read a few pages many times looking for clues. Kelly and Lanzing overall had a nice story but they could have been clearer in key moments. It's only an 8 because Magno was not the weak link here. He killed it with the art and didn't take any shortcuts. Grundetjern's colors were great too. |

I get it that it's in the journey but still can't get to care for Knull at all. Venom started so well 2 years ago but this just is not the end I was expecting from Cates.

This was actually pretty good. Soule is hit or miss with Wolverine and this chapter is a bit better this time and I think it will read better as a collected edition. Siquera's art is a delight to look at. Subprime Mortgage Man is my new favorite villain and I thought it was a very clever story up until the end when it fell apart and went against its own narrative. Still credit to Ryan North for a pretty great idea and almost perfect chapter that ended up tasting just as bad as the 2008 meltdown. Rod Reis's art is a great match and the facial expressions were well done! Now the Winter Soldier chapter was the weakest in my opinion and forgettable. |

Back to form as it's wrapping up. Zdarsky should've had the chance to do more but he does enough with this one. It's obvious this was going to be a longer story but oh well. I was hard on Ramon Perez before but only because his previous chapters were bad. Not here! Perez finally puts in the work on art(pencils+inks) and does a pretty good job overall.

Fair wrap up to the story. Obviously it's rushed and we did have all the elements there. But man the art just makes it harder to enjoy. Perez needs to work on his art and faces or maybe it's just rushed. Too bad because this book would be recommended by me as mandatory FF reading for any fan. Zdarsky is worthy of doing FF one of these days and please get Cheung or Schitti or both rotating on art. |

It's not bad but not great either. Jed McKay has to continuously ask through Felicia as to why we're back to this nonsense after much previous development. I get it but detracts from the story for me. This just shows that editorial doesn't know where to go and we have to build only to destroy in order to sell books because Dark Web had to happen no matter what whether there is any common sense in or not. This tracks perfectly along the whole flimsy Dark Web event so far. I hope we get past this event and develop a proper story for this team-up. |

It's an enjoyable ride from MacKay and I don't like what's happening on ASM so that's MacKay doing alright here. Disconnect and enjoy is all you can do here but the whole MJ powers premise is weak. Still enough here to like. Carratu's art is good but still raw. |

Great first issue setting things up. Had me invested in the story from the get go. Great family and allegiances struggle story. Thompson is a great writer because he makes flow naturally. Love Nico's art. It's just the right fit for this story where his scenes setup and angles make it much better. I need the 2nd issue now!! |

Robbie Thompson is setting up a nice little family of Skrulls who are trying to handle their business on Earth (not Prime but maybe Ultimate Universe?) while dealing with a pesky little hunter. It makes me root for the bad guys. It makes you question motives all around. Especially for the the 2 teenage daughters. Great job Robbie on the story. But to me this wouldn't work without great art to assist and guide the story. Niko Henrichon is fantastic from his angles to compositions that guide the flow to his great facial expressions that guide the moods. Great colors by him as well with an assist from Laurant Grossat and i couldn't tell who did what so that's great job done there!! |

It keeps going in a worse direction to portray the disarray of Scott Free and his life going against his mental anguish in the face of Orion and Darkseid but It doesn't work for me. Mitch Gerards's art fits this well but it doesn't elevate the story for me but it's very good. |

If I didn't buy all the issues, I would have quit already so here goes nothing. Better than the previous one but still a weird setup story wise as I'm waiting for the hammer to fall. The series is dragging its moment and pulling punches to where? Every time I think we're turning the corner , it just goes back to where it started. I'm not sure but I guess we'll keep reading. |

This book doesn't really know what story it wants to tell. King does his thing with them and comes way off. Another clever device that doesn't land the concept of a couple figuring it out as they go mundanely through their crazy life. I get why Barda is doing what she's doing but we still don't know what Scott is really doing and this issue gets you no closer to that. |

A couple having a baby delivery story dressed way up in mythological drama/war. King knows his way here and I know all of these angles well as parent but it really has nothing to tie it to what we just went through. I can't get over the disconnect between what Scott is doing and what Barda is doing. Weird but maybe that's what King is going for. Mitch Gerards's art fits this to the T. |

Where is this going? No idea. King just keeps delivering the new parents' life of mythological creatures and I just don't care about any of this. I'll read the rest only because I wanna know how this ends but man if this was read as single issues, I would have quit caring and dropped it. Mitch Gerards is a great artist and he shows great mix in his art and especially his coloring. |

While some characters act in character and others aren't and I can't get what King is really doing. It always looks cleverly straight forward with a hammer falling and falling that never arrives for 10 issues and man is that a heavy drag. It only works if you care for the characters and I couldn't care less about these mythological characters thinking they are Gods while being as human as it gets. The concept of Gods going through mundane lives is flawed and it just doesn't work. After 10 issues I just don't care for the resolution but still with 2 to go you have to finish. |

At this point just end it because something has to save this series next issue. It can't be this simple. I get the emotional points and call backs and characters coming together to stand up to their tormentors but it's way too flat and simple even with that ending. Again I have to reiterate that the whole Gods concept anywhere is dumb and I mean how can Gods die and we have had many die and go to the bathroom along the way. The concept is flawed to begin with and none are truly powerful so there is always an out and that's why Darkseid can be easily defeated. As Odin said " We are not gods. We are born, we live, we die. Just as humans do." I just can't get past that even as a mechanism for storytelling. It just doesn't work. |

This was not good. Yes it looks good concept wise with amazing art but it is not a good issue ending what was a very disappointing series. I get that Scott Free is stuck in his horrible reality and isn't able to escape so he commits suicide and moves to this Purgatory/Hell/Paradise depending on how this concept is viewed by the different characters. I can understand how King thinks he is making his character come to terms with his broken life and gets passed things but others will not interpret it this way. This is a very problematic view of things and I'm not sure why writers are continuously glamorizing suicide as a way out of any problems. He's happy to stay in his made up alternative reality by killing himself and creating a fantasy because he truly couldn't escape his reality....this is a dangerous message. Rick Rememder did the same thing with Black Science in his finale and that was a disaster of an ending. And don't even get me started on the gods concept who are flawed to the level that they're merely humans masquerading around with horrible and damaged lives. That wasn't even his message but that should have been. I was a bit down on King after reading The Human Target but after Mr. Miracle, I think his best book is the Human Target. His problem is that the series' concepts do not need 12 issues to resolve so we drag and drag endlessly what could have a been a great focused 6 to 8 issues. But honestly if I knew what this series was about I would have never read it or spent money on it. Now I just don't want to pick up Strange Adventures because I imagine the drag somewhere in the middle will annoy the hell out me and the ending will not match the early hype. |

Great premise and story that I'm willing to keep reading. It's a bit disjointed in some angles with some characters. That might be because two writers are sharing duties so it feels like different writers might be clashing in style. So I'm docking some points for that. I hope one writer takes the helms alone going forward. The art is superb!! Rod Reis has been killing it for years and I'm glad he's on a book that suits his great style. Obviously it has a similar vibe to Bill Sienkiewicz but feels completely his own. The fact that he does all of the art himself from A-Z is awesome and rare these days! |

Brisson is writing a whole other book that does not interest me at all no matter how cute and sincere it is. I like Brisson when I read him writing something a 100% but this 35-50%? Brisson is not working for me. I have to stay on this book because I'm here for Hickman and Reis. |

Ayala was losing me at first but as the issue kept going she pulled it off and made me enjoy it very much! Although it might feel all over the place, it still worked for me. It's nice comfort food that I can't find in Hickman's book when he goes big ideas and loses small touch like this book is doing. Rod Reis on art being penciler, inker and colorist is masterclass!! He changes and plays around with so much that it took me a while to read because I keep gawking at his style. |

The Gala stuff was very pointless for me. While I care about this team and what came before, the first half of this book was subpar. Ayala picks it up towards the end with familiar beats which are the parts I care about. The art here was bad. Coming from Rod Reis's amazing art, it was a shock to see this. Alex Lins needs to work on his craft because this is not ready for primetime. Lins gets his stuff together towards the end and his art improves a bit but man when is Rod Reis back? |

Way too rushed and many plot points suffer in confusion and characters go by the wayside. But overall it works as Spurrier shows a corrupted world where a religion is hijacked by Mother Righteous's cult. The jumps are way too fast. But I can't really ask for more issues because then it just gets bogged down and stretched unless Al Ewing is in charge. Andrea Di Vito did great work with his illustrations of space, worlds and characters! |

Overall, it was good. Pepe Larraz and Marte Garcia's art alone is worth the ticket. I mean if this didn't have Larraz's art, the score will be a 7. The implications are huge and universe reaching here. While Duggan did a decent job stapling this narrative together, he failed in imitating Hickman's style. I'm not sure why he did that? Maybe following him wasn't going to work out for anybody. His data pages are also not very good. Usually these setup issues will suffer because they have to do the heavy lifting and this one did. I hope he just does his thing with the X-Men book later on and forget trying to be Hickman.....it doesn't work well for many writers. |

Outstanding and well developed story especially for how little time we get for each X Timeline. I for one welcome the extra guides and pages to help set up the worlds which would normally take many issues to explain. It's like a small piece from a novel. Next I wanna see Hickman put in charts and a double page spread detailed timeline to help (although the questions posed aren't going to be answered fully for years?). I do like his delivery style as he delivers the goods and opens so many threads and questions along this story. It's beautiful too because RB Silva and Gracia make it look pretty darn good! |

The first issue where too many threads are unraveling while it's harder to decipher the whole picture. Not a bad thing, just harder to read as a single issue while easier to read as trade or full story. The wait is the hardest part but luckily this is a weekly series. Anyway This chapter has a lot and many great moments and questions questions questions? R.B. Silva and Gracia are awesome together, the art and color palettes make it worth pondering over the meaning of the choices. |

What a beautiful data dump! In a good way. Now Hickman reveals much more of what has transpired between Charles Xavier (the face of the Xavier-Moira-Magneto X-MOINETO? operation), Forge, Emma and the best Tease of what to come: Namor himself. Hickman just can't let him be happy. Also so many hints on who's doing what and what to expect but also still so many questions. Great work!! Silva and Gracia keep on delivering awesome art with plenty of details to enjoy and ponder over. That aquarium scene was too good among many other detailed Krakoa scenes. Silva is just flexing his talents now! |

As an end to HOX-POX and a re-contextualization of the X-men as a whole, It's easily a 10/10. But as a stand alone issue it is a 9 and still very good and has plenty of great moments and more than enough to satisfy me and give me hope for dawn of X. But did they really have to charge 1 more dollar to print 6 pages of advertisements at the end ?? I still enjoyed this issue very much and Hickman delivered yet again! This has years worth of storytelling ahead just to wrap your head around the ramifications of what Moira and Charles have set upon the world. The fact that the good and bad guys lines have been blurred could take years to dissect since we still don't know who this Charles is truly and what Moira's plan is either? Plus all of these evil men and women on the council is heading for an explosive showdown when the cards are revealed. The art is as usual outstanding and RB silva pencils/inks were only enhanced by Gracia and Curiel's colors! |

It's a great book this one and it holds up well even after 18 years. I couldn't put it down and finished it in 45 minutes. No happy endings anywhere to be found for our cast of lions who are representatives of Iraqi society. As they say "Freedom cannot be given, it has to be earned". This while is a heart breaker, is recommended and a very good look into what Iraqis went through in that hellish war looking to escape one prison only to end up in another or get martyred chasing freedom between Saddam or the US. Nico Henrichon style is much more raw here while his more recent style is more refined and polished but that's actually not a problem as he was a younger artist back then. But a story like this requires a raw touch and no finesse. So props to him for drawing all of those animals very well and conveying their multitudes of emotions because that's no easy task. |

Al Ewing just knows how to get my attention and keep me interested. He'll take old ideas and rehash them in new environments with narratives that make you think about them in different angles. Is Magneto good or bad? YES. The judgement is not over nor will he escape his sins but he will try to atone for them but he cannot escape judgement. Luciano Vecchio is delivering some great art that fits this book well. Colors are very good although it was fun (for me) trying to tell when Curiel or Aburtov were coloring the pages. The purple foregrounds give it away lol |

Very thin story happening here. Not much substance and it all went down on a boat ride that took 10 minutes to read and still can't tell you what's so important about this issue. Then the kiss out of nowhere?? Not Soule's finest work. If the mystery has something to offer then it needed more. Mcniven can't be matched. Shalvey does his best with the fight scenes but it's a huge drop in "quality" due to unmatched styles. Laura Martin's colors were nice though. That was a disappointment. |

I should've stopped reading this book after McNiven's first issue. Soule had a good first issue with awesome art but the concept here after two issues is just stale. The fight that happened a gazillion times over. Shalvey's art is clean and good but sorry i can't get my head away from how much better it would've been with McNiven's. The optimist in me says Soule deserves a chance to at least give his answers next issue, so we'll see. |

I really tried but man is this a stinker. Soule didn't deliver his answers. Well he did but it was a failure at delivering them and just plain stupid. This whole thing wasn't well written, planned or delivered any positive direction for the character. Waste of money and time. Shalvey isn't the right artist for this book either. |

I really like where this book was coming from and where it's going. I wish I had more buildup to where those threads came from but Gillen does a good job blending them. Much better than the messy Fall of the House of X. RB Silva delivered some of his best work in years and those details in all the aspects of his art are much appreciated. You can tell he took no shortcuts and every panel got a 100% of his effort. Him and Curiel on colors are a great combo. |

This is the best issue so far in this event! Gillen is knocking out some great ideas as we close this Krakoan era. I'm glad he took the reigns after Hickman because the way he writes this issue is very enjoyable. I read it while enjoying the art and it took me about 25 minutes to de-cypher all the little hints and loops of the story. RB Silva is phenomenal and his level of attention to detail and his imagination is wonderful. I'm glad he came back to give it that POX feel along with Curiel on colors who is spectacular! Only minor nit pick with RB Silva's art is the way eyes don't have a distinctive pupil but just an iris which takes away from it being perfect. |

Undisputed book for the Fall of X era. Gillen actually plays with Hickman's toys very well. Some things are a head scratcher but the scope and overall story points were pretty spot on especially about how far Charles can go for self preservation. Is he really different than Sinister or Moira? Maybe not but we'll see. His play on how tiny beings believe themselves Gods including the Enigma is right on point but I believe he misunderstood what Voltaire really meant. He was a deist who believed in God (albeit a flawed idea of what a true God is) but that people especially the Catholic church was so corrupt that IF God didn't exist the church would invent one to maintain their corruption of religion and hold on power and greed. Those are two different camps. Don't get me wrong both Gillen and Voltaire are wrong but still it is what it is. RB Silva is fantastic as he's always been and I salute his effort here. I like the foliage he sprinkled every where since it's the FALL of X...get it? lol Curiel on colors is pure enjoyment on top of Silva's art. Thanks for maintaining standards and exceeding them. |

The wheels are coming off and I believe the abrupt way this story is going to hit a wall will hurt. First issue where I see Gillen trying to outpace the inevitable end and he overdoes it but I'll hold for the last issue to truly judge this. It is really confusing for Xavier to one up himself and the Enigma and AI and everyone else which makes the story such a shore to follow. RB Silva is as very good as always even as he tries to convey the insanity of what's happening no problems there. |

It was a quick resolution that did way more than it should've had to do to offset the whole Fall of X failures. Guillen does a much better job than Duggan to tie his story threads from Immortal/Forever together but a little too neatly and the whole Moira/Xavier dynamic being rushed far too fast to make any sense within the Krakoan age post Hickman but overall he did a good job. I wish RB Silva was here to finish this book because he was the core of this book and his amazing art made this book shine. But Vecchio is a great back up artist who delivered some outstanding pages with so many mutants crammed everywhere. Nice work but how does RB Silva not finish this is a failure from this X-office. |

Comic books don't get much better than this intro. Great story and awesome art. Spencer outdid himself here with everything. I wish Acuna did the whole thing. His style just fits beautifully. Rod Reis illustrated intro just gave this story a lot of weight. The way this 0 issue ties Pleasant Hill threads along with all of the Cap story from the past year and then builds on them with a masterful takeover by good hearted/evil means Steve is a sight to be witnessed. |

Great character work by Spencer packing some lengthy dialogue but the spectacular art by McNiven gives the characters emotional punch and it shows how much Cap isn't really happy with his big win.

Continues to be good. Slows down to touch upon all of the threads but Spencer does a nice job with That. So many nice moments from the Guardians of the Galaxy with the Council to Namor's Atlantis to boomerang. But the best thing here is that the art enhances the story with Sorrentino's Dark themes with a heavily dark toned story and Rod Reis's cleaner more colorful style for more hopeful and beautiful scenes with the mystery Steve and the Lady. |

This event has it all. This issue delivers the twists and the answers to some of the mysteries but only builds other ones so it is perfect drama. The dialogue can be much for some but i thought it was outstanding especially in the Tony ans Steve scene where it hit me. There is tons of action too so it isn't just text box after another. 3 artists but 3 tales and they all fit and by now feel at home in their own world. It's a lot to cover and can have some issues pacing and jumping around but overall i didn't mind because as a whole this story is well done!

It was enjoyable for a basic comicbook story with cool ideas from Ryan North not reaching their potential. It had good moments but wrapped up in a predictable and unfulfilling manner.

The covers were below par and Mobili should've had better covers for this because his art is the best thing about this. |

Aug 9, 2021 |
After talking with the people at the Local shop and how many are disappointed with it, I heard from them some dropped it way back and others read it but are not happy. Again I had to wait 5 days to read this book because I just can't do it right now and as expected it was a disappointment. The story progression is at a snails pace and it's just another ASM issue or a tie-in for me. Nothing special and the fact that they had to bring in Brisson as help to write this is just weird. But what's worse is having 4 pencillers and 5 inkers in 1 book is a nightmare for me to read. Anything the story Spencer is trying to convey just goes out the window as soon as the art changes drastically. None of these guys complement each other. I know I keep saying the same thing over and over again but ASM is the last book I'll drop and it hurts me to see it like this. |

Much better this time around although I remain apprehensive of how certain threads will get resolved by Spencer but I'm still on the train. At least Bagley and company were on art duty for most of the issue. The art shifts later on but not as jarring as previous issues. I still wish one artist gets one issue....what a novel concept! Also whoever the artists (Carlos Gomez?) that did the Sin Eater pages was great and they need to do a whole issue by himself because that page by the dumpster was on point. The inks and colors were very well put together! |

At this point I just want this to end since all the problems I mentioned before are only getting worse: The bad inconsistent script, bad dialogue and the horrible art management. On top of that the OMD teasing seems like bait and switch as usual. I never ever felt like this reading ASM and it is disappointing. |

Very good. I'm surprised we didn't get a decompressed 24 issues to address all that transpired here but I bet it would have gotten stale quick. I'm glad they went this way and finally cracked some eggs to make this omelet. Lucas Werneck on art duty is great! |

Well done! An issue that does plenty to save this mini-event. Great work from Gillen to save this sinister timeline from Mr. Sinister by another Sinister and who the heck is already a Dominion? Another new Sinister? This makes it better than Judgement day overall. Paco Medina and Lucas Werneck delivered great art colored all by Valenza seamlessly fitting each artist's style and I'm glad they split it the way they did. |

It's still OK. It's a fun little story that requires a lot of side books to keep up. Not ideal which makes half the book recaps of what's happened in other books that you didn't read because you can't print more money. Still waiting on it to deliver something better otherwise it's a waste. |

It's better than the previous issue and actually managed to entertain me better than i hoped. But still lacks better coordination. The art is great as usual and nothing wrong there at all. Kudos to the artists but Slott's story isn't great and Gage's script needs better developing. Less tie ins and one more issue in this event would've been better. |

This is OK. If Pichelli wasn't drawing this I would have dropped it. Yes the pressure is high since the fanfares of Abrams were played out loud and hyped so much. It rotates between new angles and familiar tones but not mixed well enough to work. It's trying to do something new yet it's repeating the same beats done in Spidey books before it and doesn't quite make you care about its antagonist. I get that we're trying to make it a mystery but it's flat as a device here. Pichelli is what's bringing me back. |

The writing is obviously a mixed bag of good ideas implemented in a clunky and disjointed way. Maybe two writers with neither having written any comics is not a good idea....hope they make their ideas come together better. Again the whole Cadaverous villain is a complete waste of time and the story can function with anybody else at this point. Pichelli is actually doing some good work but feels wasted right now. |

This is so bad. There is no passion and I feel nothing for these characters. It feels like it's fan made in a really bad way. Henry Abrams has no business doing this. Take a few indie gigs and work on your craft for a few years before you come back. C.B. man come one this script is so bad......what was teh first draft like?? Sara Pichelli and Dave Stewart's time and art are wasted here big time. Just can't get myself to drop it now with one issue left. I just have to finish now and see how bad it can get. |

This final issue cannot fix any of the problems with this story and the Writers. First of all Sara Pichelli/Stewart/Coipel were outstanding and they were wasted here and deserve nothing but praise. The Abrams JJ and H and Nick lowe as the editor can take all of the blame here. You cannot fix the script/dialogue and the other problems with 4 issues in 10 pages at the end and try to get completely unearned emotions from me to try to make it what it wasn't. What a waste! |

It's fine and Slott is good with Spidey as usual until the spider-verse stuff happens and I just don't care. The first one was good, the second one was a waste of time and I'm over the novelty of it. I have to skip it. Bagley's art is as good as it has been. |

This is a better outing than last time. The multiple layers of storytelling while are nice in some aspects in some issues like this one, can also make this story so cumbersome in others. Anyway Thompson is trying to juggle all of the threads and it can be a drag sometimes. Art is a bit better this time around and the story picks back up. Twists being thrown left and right while can be headturning and intriguing, they also can make you lose interest if there are no real answers after 9 issues?? Still onboard because some issues can be so good. Too bad others are a waste. |

Bendis can write an issue that doesn't include the main characters and still have you in suspense wanting to find out what comes next. That's a good read (while ignoring some things) and bad at the same time because It's a five issue mini series about the Spider-Men and we don't have that yet. But i'll hold final judgement until the next issue to see where we're going. Pichelli and Ponsor are fantastic as usual. |

The Dennis Hopeless Spider-Woman run was amazing and coming from that to this just isn't doing it for me. It's way too convoluted for its own good. We're going way out out of our way to make it harder than it is. Why?? Carla Pacheco wants to torture Jessica and then redeem her later but it's just done in a weird way. This is not a bad comic book, it just isn't a great one. Pere Perez is great in his dynamic art but it's Mattia De Iulis that saves the day here with his amazing art. I would probably read this MESS of a book if he was the main artist. |

The only thing I didn't like was the switcheroo at the end. It doesn't really work because life in prison for a genocidal maniac that savagely killed 10s of thousands and took part in the genocide of millions deserves death no less. |

Outstanding pencils by HAWTHORNE.....the guy is amazing in his clean details and angles that make all of the emotional moments hit right and deliver with his facial expressions and movements. Hawthorne is unique and is blessing to look at his wonderful work. He's also lucky to have Von Grawbadger perfectly inking his pencils and Jordie Bellaire coloring to make it pop!! |

Yes Otto's redemption is what everyone wanted but that is not how stories end I'm afraid. I actually feel like this is a better ending for him no matter how much I don't like it. I will always cherish this Slott baby. Mike Hawthorne, Wade von Grawbadger, and Jordie Bellaire have got to be proud of their effort here. The best art that actually made the story shine from the awesome action to the way it made you feel Otto and Anna's angst. |

It's good but this story needed a few more pages instead of cramming important scenes in one page. Latour had me interested in the Silver Surfer's plight with Galactus and has them in a new interesting dynamic but a few things kept me from enjoying it fully. Latour while doing great work on the art front, has not made some scenes stick out more to point out the changing points of view and narratives. A few changes on the color scheme and this book would read better. I know it's hard to illustrate this in the setting he's in but a few background hues either brighter or darker would've helped me. |

Methodical and deliberate in every word and panel. Hickman and Coker put the work in here. I'm fully onboard with the unfolding world and the tale told of the dark forces. My only gripe is that no true essence of light has been brought in yet because Detective Dumas is not a true agent of light but merely playing a different dark force tapping the same well (as of now). |

This is has officially went off the rails because there are too many messed up moments happening that I could do without but I get what they add to the portrayal of these barbaric, self indulgent and greedy cannibals. Only Hickman can marry Wall Street, the federal reserve, colonial Spain and demons among many others all chasing that elusive mammon sacrificing many in its path. Dumas is still not really the good guy here. He uses black magic of other demons to guide him and wants to join in but a price will be paid no matter what. Nobody enters or uses that realm without losing everything including himself at the end. Coker and Garland are a great art team! |

Horror movies are never an interest for me so when this issue started to toe the line and give me vibes of cliches, I became worried especially with the forced sexual encounters between characters. Just weird! But the art is beyond phenomenal from Mattia de Lulis who colors it in such a mesmerizing way that it's quite unique. The art alone makes this story worth following but I'm still intrigued by what's happening. |

As expected this book follows rhythms and beats from other stories in a very interesting setting which gives a different vibe. I only dislike how all characters either agree or disagree in unison and it feels hollow when separate voices are not created for these different people. Art is ridiculously detailed and beautiful as always. |

The ending was OK as far as fantasy/sci-fi/horror stories go. This one couldn't bring it all together but the ending made me hopeful and intrigued in the future. I didn't see that angle coming so kudos to Kelly Thompson for that and her new ideas. She took some swings and hit some and missed some like the giant organic Voltron being saying dumb things like M-fer just took me out of it. Why is that even there? Weird choice. Also these characters need some separate opinions about choices in these stories otherwise what is done to show unison/compassion/empathy within the group feels hollow. But I see how 5 issues might not be enough to do the job. Mattia de Lulis deserves an Eisner for this art. So good in so many ways. I hope he wins. Sign me up for the next 5 issues as long as both creators come back. |

It was interesting enough story wise but it is Mattia de Lulis art that catapults the first story to 8.5 but the second story looked like a cartoon next to it so it was a disservice to have 2 stories with such vastly different styles. Just have Mattia do both. Odd choice?? |

The stories are just a mess at this point. It feels as if there is too much story and not enough direction which points to two writers not working well together. Two artists on here was a dumb idea. D'Urso has a completely different look than Mattia de Lilus. It does no service to either artists. It feels like watching an adult series then switching channels to a kid's show and then back. Mattia de Lulis's digital art is just amazing and the only reason I come back. |

This book could have been something, it could've been a contender but alas it is not. Aaron and Gronbekk as writers are not complementing each other. Yet another series suffers from mismatched art between two artists that could not be further from each other in style. MATTIA DE IULIS is in a whole other category all by himself and D'Urso is great but next to him her art is not holding up. It is as if I'm watching a James Bond movie and switching channels to watch a Disney cartoon and back again and then back again some more. Whoever made this decision was an idiot and I hope they see that now and never do it again. |

I gave it a shot but I cannot trust this duo to do a good job going forward. |

I enjoyed reading this TPB and I can't wait to read the next one. The end of issue 6 had one of the many tropes involved here but I have to admit that many of the angles and ideas are new from James Tynion IV. Still tropes never looked this good with Alvaro Martinez Bueno on art duty. The guy is fantastic with his concepts, character design, angles, moods and inks. But just as important was Jordie Bellaire's colors. She killed it and I haven't seen coloring like this before. Some pages didn't work as well but man the majority were FANTASTIC!! I suspect it reads better collected since I had trouble remembering characters' names a few issue in which was annoying. Why have people with names/attributes/jobs and keep switching back and forth? That bugged me but not enough to ruin the experience. |

Outstanding writing and suspense build from James Tynion when read as a trade. This still suffers from too many characters which some of whom get mixed up for me and I keep finding myself going back and forth to understand what's going on. The art from Alvaro Martinez Bueno is phenomenal. The way he switches styles between pages, panels and issues is nothing like I've seen before. I like the way Jordie Bellaire colors too because of the way she plays and changes her style as the tone and scenes change. This would benefit from another read as a whole before cycle 2 and never in singles. |

And there it is. It had to be that way after all of that. Mosley had a plan but the delivery was all over the place but somehow salvages the end of this issue. Now I'm ready for the end of this and maybe reading it again just to see if It was me or not and how did we get here. Reilly's art is as consistent as can be and the quality is there with the same befitting colors from Bellaire. |

Enjoyable read with multiple great scenes. Phil noto's art is fantastic as usual but his figures can be off at times when he makes daredevil and Jessica the same height and body proportions when zoomed out but he fixes it on closeups. I am nitpicking but it's weird to have an undefined daredevil body that looks short. |

Enjoyable but we're 2 issues in and the variants just keep leaving without a clue because we need to make this a 5 issue thing. Weird overdone trope of characters fighting for many issue for the heck of it then leaving just to do again later but I'll hold back for now because maybe Gail Simone will surprise me. Noto is doing great work as usual and better than issue 1. |

Did we really need 3 issues to get here. A lot of forced moves to make the mystery last this long. I just can't get over the trope of characters fighting first for 2 issues and disappearing at convenient times only to reappear when it's time for exposition and explanations to happen. Yeah the reveals are not working for me. This comic move is done to death in comics. This will depend on what the 4th issue does so the rating could change if Gail Simone lands a proper one. I hope I got it wrong so we'll see. The interplay between characters is fine and Noto is great as usual even when he messes up figures sometimes. |

It was a good Kang story by MacKay and I did enjoy it but that's because I have been coming into these things with zero expectations. Worth a read if you're a Kang fan. Walker, Land and Bagley all meshed well. I have to say that I was impressed with Bagley because his art was really good here which is amazing for how fast he works but he took his time and had detailed work especially the backgrounds. His inker Hennessy deserves a nice dinner out of this. Overall, I am not eager to find out about the teases but if they pop in my pull list I'll read them but nothing that makes me super excited. |

I liked what MacKay did with this even as a preview of what I already know is coming. He seems to be good with Kang but as a possible Avengers teaser, I don't know since there was no teams present here. I'll have to see how he handles a team book. Also the ending is too open ended or maybe I didn't get the hints. Land, Zircher, Larroca and D'armata on art were good, detailed and they gelled fine. The backgrounds were very intricate especially in Land's pages and That's commendable because they spent time on them and it shows. |

Near perfect issue. Is is world breaking or mind blowing? No but just like when you're fasting in the summer and haven't had water for 18 hours, water tastes like the best thing you've ever had in your life. This comic book delivers on what we all wanted albeit from a different angle but it ticks all the boxes and I had a smile on my face the whole time. I even chuckled on that last panel with Peter saying that line. It was mm mmm chef's kiss from Hickman and Checchetto on art is beyond beautiful. Seriously, his Spidey is top ten all time. Top him with Wilson's subdued hues that only highlight what's important and we have a near perfect outing. I can see a turn coming at some point but for now I'm all in and twice on Wednesday. P.S. does he not have a Spidey Sense or am I missing something? |

Great brick laying work by Hickman and a very enjoyable issue from all angles. Except the final reveal which I'm all for if we get a different wrinkle on that old rivalry. Peter Parker as an older guy trying to learn to be Spider-Man was never on my list of books and from Hickman of all people but here we are. Checchetto with an absolute perfect outing on art. This must have taken a lot of time to do and I thank him and wish his hand/wrist/arm a speedy recovery. Wilson colors him beautifully as always. |

I'm enjoying Hickman's work here. I just love the way he unfolds the story. Plenty to absorb with a lot of words around a dinner date but without the chapters that Bendis would drop on you (I like it in limited fashion). I just enjoy this kind of of build up when it's done right and Hickman so far hasn't disappointed. The art was good but the printing didn't help it at all. Still come back Checchetto I know your hands need time to heal. |

Very good issue and wonderful series that hit all the beats for a fun and intriguing Spider-Book. But the same family aspect that's a strength in this story was a weakness here in the narrative because MJ's reaction to the reveal felt off to me or maybe there will be delayed ramifications when danger undoubtably rear its head. Harry/Peter Tag-Team is pure fun. Checchetto back on art duty immediately levels up the story and I see why he needs more time and I'm fine with it. |

I really tried to like this first issue. But maybe it was over hyped from way too many people as the next big thing and it's not even close to being a good story worth reading let alone a masterpiece that it was made out to be. Yes there was plenty of story to read and dissect in the oversized issue but what i found at the end was lacking any real substance and more a mix of rehashed ideas of what has already been done. Not original at all and those fantasy animals looked really bad which takes me to the art of Camuncoli who I was introduced to when Superior Spider-Man came out and his art was outstanding there back 6 years ago but this here looks like it suffers from being rushed and not as sharp and detailed as it should be. I'll pass on this series especially when the market is saturated with awesome books. |

It's a good comic book idea with many elements used and abused by many stories from movies to comic books. I enjoyed it for what it is but many times it's trying to go hard as Cates likes to do but that takes me out of it. Ryan Stegman delivers his best work since Venom and JP Mayer inks it wonderfully ending up with carpal tunnel in the process :). Sonia Oback's colors were also very good. I hope it's around for the people that enjoy it but I'm out. P.S. I hope Donny Cates all the best and I hope he seeks the help he needs because there many elements that he's struggling with that come through his work. |

Robbie Thompson tries to come up with a reason as to why Flash and Venom aren't together anymore and it's lackluster. After reading Venom for a while now with Flash as the host/Agent i expected a better story than the 3 page anticlimactic piece i got. Maybe i expect too much! |

On its face, it's just a one eyed dude swimming in dead klyntar goo philosophizing to the hand but Al Ewing is writing this one so it's a pure joy to read. The way he goes around with his narrative to lay the connection to the king in black and the beyonders. I never bought into Knull's super villain level/threats from Cates' run even though he had me early one but it became cartoonish. Ewing cuts Knull at the knees and rebuilds in order to hopefully get Eddie away from that whole mess. We'll see if he can deliver on that. It is way too ambitious but man is it well done! Cafu is the perfect fit as his art is fantastic and so well detailed with no shortcuts taken and D'Armata kills it on colors. |

Roge Antonio did fine as fill in artist but Cafu is part of the backbone as to why I liked the previous issues. Also D'Armata's coloring especially the greens were weird. Not sure if he didn't adapt well to Antonio's art or printing issue or he was trying something new? Come back Cafu after you ice your arm. |

Al Ewing is back on Venom and so am I. I had to read this twice to follow the loops and understand this story and I still got lost in some threads that I'm sure are setup ups for the future. I like it a lot and not many writers can get me thinking and concentrating on this craziness. Cafu is also back on art and he is phenomenal and even better before. D'Armatta colors the heck out it too so I highly recommend this. |

This has felt overly done for me. It's down from the height of last issue. It's just that the way Meridius is addressed and Carnage's involvement just feels disjointed. But I'll let Ewing deliver an arc before fully judging it. |

I had high expectations but i was disappointed. It's just not for me. I'm taking this event off. I just couldn't get into Aaron's flow and his spider-man talking like a 14 year old just took me right off. Plus all these characters dying again and again is meh. The art is absolutely stunning but that's not enough for me. Also the amount of tie-ins is beyond what i can afford. I Hope everyone else enjoys it! |

Intriguing story and as far as first issue goes it does everything I want. Setup the premise, keep me entertained, guessing what's next and make me want to come back for more. Ewing does that very well. I still hold judgement on where we go but very promising start. The art from Di Meo is fantastic and vibrant and is does a lot of heavy lifting here. |

This wasn't good. Stegman did a much better job with ASM RYV years ago and nailed the spidey family. Here it was lacking and the horror parts were just too drawn out and lack of words didn't have the intended effect. Sorry but spending 5 dollars on 10 minutes of reading isn't a good investment and then it being less than satisfactory??? Well it sucks. The art was good by Hotz and Gedeon. Too many inkers and colorists to mention but they all worked well together! |

The art here is phenomenal by Hawthorne, Di Benedetto and Redmond but the story adaptation from Cornell itself is lacking many details and information as to who the characters are and what should I care about any of them. This needed a lot more setup up. I really don't care to continue reading. Too bad because Hawthorne killed it on art as always. |

I'm trying to stay with this but it's losing me again. Great ideas that are all over the map and are not coherent enough to gel together. Before it was too little stretched over many issues and now too much crammed into one issue. The pacing was not handled well. If Cassara wasn't lights out with his art, this would be really bad. |

OK now this I can deal with but it is a weird setup to do it this way but I'll take it. Federico Vicentini does some great work here and he kills it with some excellent pages but some angles and body poses in certain panels need some work. I can't tell if Martin or Lima was better but colors in certain pages were better and I'll bet it was Martin. |

This side of the story knows what it is about and does it well to usher the Krakoan age forward while the other side is running around like a chicken with no head but at least has Cassara flexing his art muscles. X Deaths should have been the only book out unless we get an X Lives tie-in worth this ping pong game. Vicentini is awesome yet again although some action sequences can improve. |

This is so much better than X Lives that you can just read this side and not be bothered although you'll be missing some great art from Cassara. Percy does his best here and although some key points have to be ignored to enjoy the whole setup. I mean the Banshee thing was off but then again all of Krakoa feels off right now. When Percy plays with Hickman's threads, it shines but when he plays with his threads from X-Force and Wolverine it just doesn't have the same sticking power. Vicentini's art has only gotten better or I grew to enjoy it even more than before. It just fits with the vibe. |

This was enjoyable but I somehow still feel like the whole series missed the mark. This should have been a Moira-X 10-12 issues mini from Hickman (I know I'm not over it yet) to do it justice especially those Moira pages about the big moves for her lives and the next chapter. We do 2 years with nothing about Moira then we get inferno followed by 5 issues going 100 mph which is a bit fast. But Percy did alright. Vicentini's art is fantastic and Lima colors came through well! |

This story is Percy following up on his X-Force and Wolverine runs so if you're loving those then boy this is for you! Me, I gave up on wolverine early on and X-force after 25 issues. So this story builds on them and tries to give you something to get your attention going forward. But It's just not enough. I will stick with it for now because it's weekly so the narrative shouldn't take a hit from a monthly release. But the next phase of the Krakoan age post Hickman is sadly off to a rocky start. HOX/POX was such a great story that I feel like I can never be satisfied unless those threads are weaved in here and in Destiny of X. Otherwise I'm out. Nobody has 3 or 5 years to slowly churn something that the original creator didn't want to play with or drag. If the original story is put aside to focus on something else then the story is over. The main reason the score wasn't a 5 is Cassara's art. It's the only real positive here. |

This is seriously disjointed it's jarring to read and follow. It's retelling things I already know and not saying enough about what I don't know. Absolute nonsense and we haven't even see the full 10 lives revisited. Cassara and Martin art's skills save this again but man is it a grind to follow these shenanigans deconstructed. This only reinforces my dislike for how X-force (2nd year) and Wolverine were written. |

X Of Swords (2020): Creation #1
Sep 24, 2020 |
Outstanding work! This is so well crafted on so many levels by Hickman/Howard. Even the predictable moments work because of how they are portrayed by Pepe. As someone who grew tired of events, I am surprised at how well this landed. Hickman is good when he gets going, I hope the train doesn't get derailed because 22 issues is insane. But I wanted more and more so it's safe to say Hickman knows what he's doing. Larraz art is so well crafted that nothing was this close since his House/Power of X last year (Well maybe Bennet on Immortal is a close second). So much detail was put into this work (Those capes look way too good!) that I can't fathom how many days it took to draw and ink. Gracia's colors were a perfect compliment and even a small thing like the bruised/sick eye of the King's herald looked beautiful. Epic! |

Now that's how it's done. Obviously Hickman and Howard work well together and it shows in these few issues but man is Pepe Larraz killing it with the art. He makes everything have weight and elegance to it. He's an awesome story teller. This event was dragged out to death and hurried at the end so it was a mistake to milk it for 22 issues that barely added anything to the story. This should have been a 6-8 oversized but focused issues. Then again how is Marvel gonna learn if people keep buying it all. I hope they didn't damage the line too much. I'm still here but only because this last issue did a terrific job holding my interest. Fool me once... |

It's a necessary story dump to let us know how it all came about. While it's needed it didn't feel well executed. Brisson moves around and wants to show Stryfe's conflict and his side of the hunt and yes well we get it but not as effective as i thought it would be. On to the next chapter. Couceiro handles the art well but i do miss burnett's unique style which has much more flow and fits the darker tone. |

It was a good read but the lack of Cassara's art and the main focus on Kid Omega didn't help. The art is a conduit for the story and without proper indicators to navigate the story, you are left to guess as you read which can be frustrating especially when facial expressions are just weird and don't give you clues. Garry Brown's sequential art/faces need to be improved but he is still talented and you can see his craft in the making. Ben Percy doesn't get a pass here because relying Kid Omega to carry this a whole arc is challenging and you need to add more for me to care. Good luck! I'll be here when Joshua Cassara returns. |

The art killed this one. Garry Brown needs to work on his craft because it is not up to the standard. Marvel comics and editors are to blame for allowing this to be on a top book. Garry brown is a free lancer who got paid and didn't twist arms but was hired by Marvel comics. We can be mad at him but that's misdirected. Percy's narrative wasn't much better to be honest so the quicker I forget this crap the better it will be. |

This was miles better than the last few issues and mainly because the cast is back in action and Cassara is also back in action.

Finally I have to emphasize Cassara and eFx's art because without it this story would be crap. |

The seeds are planted now and we wait and watch the threads develop. Fine job by Hickamn here. Hard to follow HOX-POX because you have pass on some things to bring others to the front although there is plenty of things crammed in here. Tons to shew on and great moments that will definitely lead to some serious conflicts. Yu art along with Alanguilan inks and Gho's colors are great together but somehow off in some instances. There is plenty of detail in this work especially on the forefront of panels but some backgrounds are lacking and layouts don't match sometimes with the actions it's trying to convey. Still, I'll take Yu's art any day of the week and twice on Wednesday! |

This a great comic book that has meat to chew on for days. My favorite read the last few weeks. Hickman had a few hiccups in a few dialogue lines in certain scenes toward the first half. Unless that's intentional, especially the Summers interactions....they're borderline creepy but subtle. Something is going on under obviously unless I'm reading too much into it. I did like the humor in certain scenes a lot. I do think Hickman did pull off a good mix. But the second half more than made up for it. A is the name of the game! Yu is perfect for this just like he was for the Avengers/Eternity book years ago. Gho and Alanguilan are perfect match. |

The dynamics for all characters involved is on point...yes ALL. I don't remember a Hickman book where he didn't lose me early on before I see payoff but here I have enjoyed all 3 issues so far and can't wait for more.

I have to be honest and say that my enjoyment of this single issue was dampened because of my ignorance of Serafina and the children of the vault which happened when I stopped following any comics for 15 years. So yeah I was lost and more than just the usual Hickman dropping hints in one issue to be visited 10 issues later kinda of way. I had to read it multiple times and it's good and looks great with Silva art but Hickman is gonna Hickman so hopefully we bring the threads tighter sooner than later. But I will gladly wait for his full plan to be delivered so hopefully he doesn't mess up or the editorial doesn't screw it up. |

Suffice to say it is not going to end well and I can't wait to read more. Leinil Yu's art is well suited for these sequences and he's inking himself as well since Gerry's passing.

Good issue that actually makes Vulcan more interesting now. Drip Drip. Hickman didn't put enough here to make it as great as what I expected but with the Empyre angle and me not caring for that event didn't help matters. Although Hickman handled it about as well as can be. Yu is his solid self as usual and Gho's colors were perfect. Drip Drip. |

Happy to see Hickman and Yu deliver a good comic book yet again. Not hindered at all being a tie in to Empyre. I'm skipping the event and have no problem following. At this point I feel bad for the people who never read a Hickman series. It reminds me of the Avengers book of 2012 where I felt lost months at a time but then the payoff years later especially after reading the FF books before Secret Wars was really nice. Trade waiting might be better if you can't stand his style. |

The scale is huge. I read it twice and enjoyed it very much. It had to be done because X of Swords is here and we need a primer. I hope we go into more details about what transpired here. If Hickman actually had 6 issues to deliver what this issue was about, people would have rioted and jumped ship so I understand the tight fit. Yu and Gho delivered a great issue and will be missed going forward. |

This issue worked for me even if it was another "let's catch you up fine sir, shall we?" and I see why it made X-men readers from the 90s mad but I wasn't an X-men follower back then so I don't see a problem because Hickman makes Apocalypse's back story fit into X of Swords very well for me and I'm on board. Asrar has some nice pages here which helps the narrative quiet well but some panels were rushed and a bit distracting. |

It's not bad but we've heard and seen almost all of this. The few pages with any new material are not worth the price of admission. It's a great story but stretching like this to build suspense and intrigue just kills any momentum or interest I had. I was all in then we slowed it down then was back in and now I'm just meh and waiting for it to be over already. The art from Asrar and recycled Yu stuff is elevating this story but that's it. Disappointing! |

Great slow paced world building that makes you think about more the political side of this mess the X-Men are in now instead of another Oh look BOOM/BUDDA/BLAM explosion issue.

This is reminiscent of some of Hickman's avengers/new avengers in the day where he just switches gear and it sucks because it just doesn't fit with what came before it. It will mean something way down the road but it just feels off. Booth's art is very 90s with a fresh rinse. I'm meh on it because it works some places and falls flat in others. I hope we get Asrar back soon. |

It's worth the purchase to keep up with the big picture but Hickman is chewing on more than he can tell in his book. He needs two books a month to make sense of this otherwise it doesn't work and feels slow. I know the other X books are part of telling the wider story but they are much more cohesive than this. Still a good story that reads too quick and leaves you hanging almost as much as where you started. Hickamn will not change his style so I already know what I'm in for. I can still complain in vain. Asrar and Gho are great together and their beautiful art helped keep my attention. That cover by Yu though: Chef's kiss!! |

This was actually pretty good! Yes some characters are written off in some places but overall this issue gets the job done and more. I'm glad Duggan writes as does Duggan instead of trying to be Hickman....you can't so just don't. I have to admit that if Pepe Larraz wasn't on art that it would be an 8 but man can that guy destroy on art and design!! Marte Gracia on colors is very nice. This duo is Gold Jerry! I hope they can do a monthly for a whole arc. Great start. |

It's the X-Men being super heroes and it's fun. I'm still enjoying it and I like the stupid premise because it is not Hickman being 8 steps ahead in his chess games which can be very dry and methodical but man does it payoff years later. Here Duggan is doing nice regular comic booking but It's Larraz and Gracia that are the stars of the show. Those two are doing art like this is an event and I appreciate their effort!! |

This issue was confusing toward the end and I had to re-read a couple of times and I even thought my book was missing a few pages? But Duggan is just playing with the narrative and switcheroos hoping to finish it later I guess. I'm reading most of the X-books and I didn't see what went on with Cyclops? Maybe it's just me. Don't get me wrong the two main plot points are great but the delivery was weak and disjointed. Maybe next issue lays it down better. Meanwhile Pepe Larraz is a 10 as always, he's the only reason this is an 8 and not a 7. Gracia is his coloring partner in crime and boy do these two kill it. |

It's good but only because the spectacular Larraz and Gracia are on art. Duggan's writing was OK in this issue and overall he was decent but nothing to raise the stakes. Just your typical X-Men action and mild drama, which don't get me wrong, was needed after the year before this series started. It just reads like it's holding out for something that might not work when it drops a year from now. |

It's a tale of 2 halves that start with a messy (literally) predictable narrative but ends with some nice pages that grab my attention. This book has to do something new and soon otherwise it's just comfort food and even that gets old after a while. Cassara and Guru eFX on art is exactly the boost it needed because Cassara is always good and his details on Forge's designs are superb. |

Much better issue from Duggan this time around. I like both stories and especially Forge and Monet's venture which made this issue keep my interest. But I have to give it to Stefano Caselli on art who killed it. The details on almost everything from faces (near or far) or towers and windows or railings and their shadows were just splendid. He did nothing wrong here. Federico Blee on colors complemented Caselli well too. It didn't feel like I was reading X-Men Red but actually was tailored to the story. Nice work! |

It's a good drama from Duggan overall but doesn't deliver on its cliffhangers. Last issue he introduced enough interesting points like Knowhere that gets resolved in one panel here and is completely wasted. It's just inconsistent and borderline disappointing. Again many other threads are started but will they deliver? Not sure. Caselli is great as usual and only enhances the narrative. |

I like the run of the mill prep work that Duggan is doing here. Nothing fancy but just enough to tick all the boxes and put me in the seat for what's coming. Cassara makes it all look fantastic so that's always a plus. The way Cyclops's reflection on the floor was depicted in that one panel was perfect. His textures on the characters must've taken a long time to do and the inking. Man I hope he has a trick to speed up the process. This book has benefited from a great set of artists to keep me enjoying it. |

Duggan delivers some OK X-Men stuff here but it feels like a time wasting stand in.

It's looking like I'm starting to tire of this X-Men drama post Sins of Sinister. I'll ride it to Fall of X but it's getting stale for me and we need a real shake up but knowing Marvel, these things will be formulaic to the T. |

It's a full bag with way too many things happening so the stories are all over the place. We even get pages with Sunspot in Otherworld plot that just wasted important space because I need to get an Unlimited account to actually read it. You can't waste valuable real estate in a 20 page book on a throw away story while your other 6 plot lines and 3 subplots get 1 or 2 pages each. Cassara on art and Martin on colors were great and are the reason this worked at all. Fall of X is looking like an exit door for me. We'll see. |

Fall of X continues in the wrong direction. Duggan was doing so well but it's just falling apart narrative wise from ShadowKat to Firestar to the dumb Tony/Emma setup. Maybe I'll change my mind if I was reading Iron-Man but that's the problem with these things. I don't need to read it all and I refuse to and this book is on thin ice. I'm not a fan of Towe's art and his faces just turn me off but others enjoy it so you know tastes and all. I wish Cassara or Caselli were tag-teaming then at least I get to look at a pretty mess. |

This series just can't end in a good way. Sandwiched between the real 2 event main books, it really doesn't add much. Duggan has some nice moments for Talon's exit and synch struggle but it just doesn't work together like how Hickman delivered back then. It's a bit hollow. Between that and a really bad Nimrod section, it's not looking good bruv. Noto's art works well for the soft quiet moment between characters but the action looks very bad, static and just brings it to a halt for me. Oh well, so close to the end, I just ride it and then I'm off the train. |

It's fine and it reads OK but I'm just not into what's happening since it feels like I'm reading emotionless sequences. Ok A then B then we add C like a robotic dictation. Don't get me wrong there is attempt at infusing emotions here on every panel but it's not working for me. This should be enjoyable but it's not. The clear winners so far for me are Guillen and Ewing who continue doing great work on their books. Noto is a great artist who does it all including the coloring. His art works well on the still sequences but the action stuff is lacking or he was rushed. |

A fitting end to the Krakoan age. A representative issue of all that made this era special yet flawed. Duggan/Ewing/Gillen have taken over the reigns, flown and landed the Hickman plane albeit with much tumultuous turbulence yet memorable work on many like Sinister, Storm, Eric and many others that will live on. I enjoyed most of it. The art team on this mini book was damn good. they all delivered but the highlight for me was Jerome Opena. Yes those pages were a neck breaker but masterpieces nonetheless which makes me long for him to come back and do some Marvel work soon. |

This has spectacle, drama and awesome art to make it worth the extra money so Kudos to Gerry Duggan and all the fantastic artists. It sits up there with HOX/POX and Planet-X along with Immortal/Red as high points. But this issue is a series of whiplash acts coming out of the last 2 years where things advanced at a snails pace so the amped up level is just not registering correctly for me. I wish the X office hasn't delayed and slowed things unnecessarily so we had a better landing for Fall of X but hey it is what it is. The Ms. Marvel stuff is still a bitter pill to swallow along with Moira's character destruction are problems and matters not handled well. This issue works as well as it did because the artists from Larraz/RB.Silva/Vecchio/Cassara/Pina/Anka/Dauterman/Lolli/Kubert along with colorists have delivered amazing art. I only care about Immortal and Red and those are the only titles I will continue to follow because of creators. If those go then I will too because mutants massacred then returning to being feared and outlawed has been done to death. |

Having skipped Legion of X and not being 100% sure about what Spurrier was doing early on with Nightcrawlers, I read this expecting the worst but he has proved me wrong. It started too busy or I'm just unware of what transpired before to give events meaning but it picked up momentum midway and ended strong mostly thanks to the way he used Legion and Mother Righteous. Noto's art also surprisingly got stronger as the issue went along and had some nice splash moments. Noto to nit pick a bit, has to work on his full figure shots because upper bodies don't fit with the bottom parts making the characters weirdly uneven but that's me being picky. |

Why are Powers of X and X-Men Forever separated narrative wise into 2 books I will never know. Powers only makes sense in the last issue if you read this otherwise Xavier's choices are irrational (beyond the usual). Only positive is that it came out same week so my assumptions were validated right away. Weird setup is all.

Gillen continues his hurry up offense after the 2 minute warning being down 45 points and we get a lot of narrative dumping a bit too late for this lost Krakoa game. He does a very good job since this is a continuation of Immortal X-Men but this should be part of the main line at POWERS of X or Immortal and is a bit too late to cram it here especially when we were time wasting as the X-Office dragged its feet for almost a year. Maresca does a great job on art with Blee's colors being right on. |

Rushed and a bit off but still enjoyable. Wish Taylor had time to play with these guys. |

Very well put together and I like it for finally continuing the thread from Hickman's X-Men while mixing the drama and politics of Planet Arrako. Caselli needs no more praise but he will get it because his art is fantastic and sharp with no shortcuts taken. |

Outstanding work from Al Ewing and Stephano Caselli! I am glad I didn't give up on the X-line after Hickman leaving. This is great!! |

Ewing is so good. He does strategic plotting with continuity and Hickman's fragments like no other so far. Back to back great issues. How does he fit so much narrative in one issue is impressive. Every word lands with purpose. I loved how he takes his time to let the threads develop instead of unnecessary and irrational fighting just to reach unearned climatic action. The pressure is on and I will enjoy the payoff. I would have taken points off for the transition between Cabal, Genolet and Sta. Maria sharing duties but I liked how they tackled 3 different scenes and that softens the art transition plus the words and plot landed heavy. If Caselli helmed this, it would have been a 10! |

This series from Ewing is very good even with the absurd! Caselli and Blee make it all look tight! |

Al Ewing has got a way with words. Caselli's consistency on art is great and it is just as important as Ewing's script. |

Great issue! I only wished the data/info page for Isca was done in a spread splash page for it would have been more effective as a tool. Musabekov has delivered some nice and very detailed art and Blee was good too. |

Maria Hill to the 10th power scheming levels here. Ewing is just smooth with his threads merging. Madibek Musabekov did a great job here and should be a rotating artist with Caselli. |

Ewing is moving pieces and making them all interesting. Caselli's art is top notch and looks perfect with no rushes or corners cut. Blee's colors too are just wonderful! |

Steady Eddie of a book as Al Ewing has been. Caselli's art is too good and there is no drop off. |

This was fine but felt I was re-reading parts I already did with Ororo since similar beats were done in Immortal. Camagni on art was good. |

Al Ewing's writing is great and he makes use of the history of Arakko but it's the setup that gets to me especially for an event that is not looking very exiting as we get closer to it. I might have to switch to tpb in order to enjoy the full thing collected and deal with spoilers. Fall of X has a lot riding on it so we'll see. Art was good from Camagni. |

Ewing keeps building that Mars world and I like it. In a world where the X-Men are yet again being massacred and persecuted, I prefer to read new stories about new characters and this book keeps doing that. Immortal and Red are worth it because of how creators are approaching their worlds from fresh angles. |

Al Ewing is creating a book worth reading. All the elements he's building are coming together and he's delivering it with great rhythm and prose as Ewing usually does. I also enjoyed and laughed at the Prince of Power's cameo at the beginning. Great stuff! Cinar and Blee on art duty did well too from the great fight scenes to the menacing Uranos to the Big-A himself. |

Al Ewing delivers a fitting end to this fine book. I enjoyed this series a lot when the X-Men were dragging after Hickman left. Yildiray Cinar's art with blee's colors grew on me over time and I'm glad they stuck with an art team. Also the lettering was well done by Ariana Maher especially that double page of the Annihilation Staff. Ewing delivered satisfying endings to almost all the characters. |

This is not what I had in mind when it was first described months ago. This is quite the opposite of a mature book. I hope we can get the equivalent of DC's Black label for Marvel so we can actually get some real mature books along with goofy S#$@ like this one. |

Wow. This a must read book. It was hard not to tear up for Yasmeen, her family and the refugees they represent that we never get to know like this book illustrates it. It does so many things right. Saif Ahmed decisions about what to include and omit and leave Fabiana Mascolo the freedom to draw it on the pages is great. Mascolo's faces and their expressions especially with Yasmeen are fantastic. The only downside I had was being lost a few times between the past and present to figure out which portion of the story I was reading. Small matter that takes away from some of the narrative but I hope they can make it easier in the future. |

This a heartbreaking issue and it's hard to get through but Ahmed handles it right. He approaches it in a manner that makes it land right and mean something. The juxtaposed scenes from present America and past Mosul are poignant and make you think a lot. I had to stop a couple of times while reading this. The only problem with this comic are some panels that are hard to decipher. Fabiana Mascolo is an outstanding artist. The facial expressions alone evoke so much and guide you in this hard subject. The fact that you can feel the hurt without seeing behind closed doors is telling of how well Mascolo approaches it. No need for explicit content here and that's a wise choice. |

This story continues to be emotionally tough to read but moves the story forward in a free fall for all elements involved. Everyone around Yasmeen is struggling in different ways but none have the heavy burden that she is carrying. I cannot stress how much troubling this subject is and Ahmed is addressing in a manner that makes it feel very real and makes you want to seek similar people and find out how to help them. The problem is when people mistaking their culture and ethnic background for religious elements and then predicating where the lines are for what constitutes a good Muslim (or catholic or any other religion) is the real danger that leads to violent genocides. Fabiana Moscolo is very good again in delivering great scene composites to show what needs to be shown and hide what must be hidden . Her bright colors on simple lines make it easier to read and get through even in the face of such horror. |

A very heart breaking and heart filling issue at the same time and a very good job by Saif Ahmed coming up with words that make it feel real and powerful. Fabiana Mascolo has to be given equal credit because her art and the emotions you feel from those faces makes you immerse yourself in the scenarios of all these characters. I took half a point because the setup of some scenes gets confusing between past and present but those are mistakes that can be overlooked with such a quality story. Yasmeen is easily one of the best comics of 2020. |

This is the book of the year for me. The story has many facets and delves in so many topics from so many angles that Saif Ahmed has to be commended for his excellent work making them gel well even if some steps seem hurried a bit like the mother-daughter confession. Nothing but praise here and even more so for Fabiana Mascolo who is really good at showing us exactly what we need to see and holds what needs to be imagined. Great art that fits this book and makes all characters look like diverse individuals who actually belong in this story. |

Excellent end to a very emotional story that made me think long after I was done reading it. Yes it did tie the ends a bit too perfectly but it's the hope I find here that makes it a 10 for me. Saif Ahmed did good here. His partner Fabiana Mascolo brought her A game too and tightened up her art here and it looks fantastic and delivers on all emotions. Can't wait to get the tpb and read it again in one sitting. |

Well done narrative to start this story by Percy. Even as they feel apart, the characters are well juxtaposed in the greater picture. Rosanas is great and very well detailed in his art. every panel looks well researched and fits well with the vibe of what's is going on. Loughridge's colors are a great match too and get the tones and hues across well. Great book and I really dislike the whole zombie thing. I hope it doesn't just become a blow stuff up kinda nonsense. We'll see. |

Great stories told separately and tied together by how they respond to a world zombified. At least they seem separate but I sure hope Percy has something cooking to bring it all together. A mini series with so many parts has no time to waste and no space to flush it all out so Percy has been great at getting up to speed in this issue while Rosanas illustrates it so well with all the clues right there in the page. Loughridge's use of different color palettes for different characters and locations is smart. |

It's great and delivers the suspense well between all 5 worlds but also could benefit from a few more issues to let some elements develop better. Percy's in his element here. Rosanas is great as always and Loughridge colors all 5 environment with their own hues making it flow well! |
