Kalaoui's Profile

The best issue I've read in a very long time about Afghanistan and its people and the immeasurable disaster that interventions have brought upon its people. The CCCP and the US get equal and fair treatment in their 20th century imperial madness while still being relevant today after what the Taliban and the US have imposed on that beautiful country and its people. Yet Camp still infuses hope of a better tomorrow that will always rise again. Camp delivers an almost perfect issue. That spread splash page of the special interest groups and bankers and military complex groups (including a literal pig in a suit lol) surrounding the corrupt president celebrating a Russian nuclear missile dropping on Afghanistan is poignant and is something I can believe would occur. Stipan Morian on art is fantastic. Perfect on all front from compositions, physical structures and physiques to shades to colors and moods that I can't imagine anybody else delivering as he did.

Impressive issue. Camp lands a lot here and Rodriguez does some serious heavy lifting with his art to deliver one of the best expressive art I've seen in a long time.

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. Plus Irving, Kubert and Sorrentino delivered even more set up/future stories. This is the best $6 i spent in a long while.

Modern Classic!

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.

I don't give 10s haphazardly. So when I say this is a 10.....it's a fracking 10!

Nuff Said!

Zdarsky is the complete package here! Outstanding issue! You did good Chip!

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.

Absolutely fantastic and very emotional. Slott writes one of the best stories of his carreer combined with The absolutely gorgeous art of the Allreds. 10!!!

Hickmanesque issue at its finest. Gwen Stacy gets the Hickman treatment and my wish is MJ would too but I doubt she will. She is the straight line to the twisted one that is Gwen and we need both for a Spidey story to work. Marco Checchetto is absolutely fantastic and his work is synonymous with USM like Bagley was 20 years ago.

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!

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.

This series catapults to another echelon very quickly. Finally the hammer falls and Camp delivers a damning exploration of humans and their war machines while showcasing the hope that always lingers on. Morian's art is impressive and beautifully haunting.

Fantastic work! Camp's take on crime and the age old question/theory of heat induced aggression as to why the hottest days can be some of the worst crime wise is intriguing. Camp pumps and pumps that balloon until the explosions (literally Metaphor = literal) happen at the end. Rodriguez keeps topping himself with every issue and drops some of the best art I've seen him do ever. The colors are way too good and everything on the page is there for a reason. Nothing wasted!

Another Stellar issue with some of the best art by Rod Reis.

Man, issue 2 is even better than the first. Duggan brings the action and the humor and the intrigue. Kuder draws his butt off here. Amazing book to look at.

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.

Fantastic Homage to Spider-Man issue by Slott showcasing how important he is to us. It's like i'm 10 again reading his book for the first time. 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!!

Waid's take on these two is great!! I love Javier Garron's art and Israel Silva's colors. Fun book with a deeper idea behind it!

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?

What does it mean to be an Avenger! Great stuff! While all the heroes do their thing a very obscure guy saves the world. Fantastic story and Larraz is a fantastic artist that illustrates it all in a beautiful and epic manner while Curiel's colors fill the pages with every color imaginable. Just fun!!

Del Mundo makes Waid's beautiful story look amazing. I just wanted more.

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!

Outstanding issue! I loved the Justice League of America's introduction into the Marvel Universe :-) Since the Squadron Supreme was wasting away, this is a nice way to bring them in. YES the idea has been done before but man is the execution done well. Ed McGuiness is a Master of his craft and he elevates this issue beyond the satirical one it would have been. Morales and Ponsor shine as well!!

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

What a nice ending. Had my doubts about this series when it started but man was it worth the ride! Got misty eyed a few times, so kudos to Ahmed and Ward!!

Wow Saladin Ahmed and Christian Ward almost had me in tears at the end there. I actually felt for Crusher Creel. Beautiful story telling and art.

As dependable as ever to deliver the best SciFi in the crispest pulp art around. Great stuff!

Fantastic storytelling by Waid and Samnee! Those two are just a dream pair! Samnee's art is a wonder to look at and makes this book feel Classic and Fresh at the same time.

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.

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.

Waid/Samnee/Rodriguez did some good comic booking here! Samnee's art is top notch where all pages and panels are 10s! This dude takes no shortcuts.

Just pure comic books at its finest. The captivating story from Waid, the perfect art from Samnee and the exquisite coloring from Rodriguez.

It's so good!!

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.

Impeccable! This has grabbed my attention like no book did in a little while. Ewing's deep cuts and way with words mixed with Rodriguez's art are a match made for me!

Ewing/Rodriguez are a great team!

The writing has so much perfect mix of suspense, drama and humor mixed with Niko Henrichon's flashback scenes and Gabriel Walta's moody yet very emotional art and Jordie Bellaire's colors make this book very enjoyable.

Keeps getting better and better. I didn't cared about Doctor Strange and now this is on the top of my list thanks to Cates story and Walta who is producing his best art right now. Along with Bellaire's colors, it has a very unique and beautiful look to it.

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!

This book has it all. A great story and narration by Waid, a great tie-in to Infinity Wars and then the best looking art by Jesus Saiz. The best book for me this week!!

Fantastic stuff! Great ending to the arc and beautiful art by Saiz. This book is a joy to read!

Outstanding stuff from Gillen. I actually took my time and enjoyed reading this one because it made me think. Esad Ribic is absolutely amazing yet again and you cannot say anything more than what was already said. Wilson's colors also are a perfect match!

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!

Absolutely marvelous!! Classic Slott story about the 4 family. Loved every panel and just enjoyed the heck outta of it. Medina and Aburtov should be the regular artists on this book or any artists for a whole arc at a time. It gives it the stability it needs so bad.

Dan Slott hits all the stops here. I was misty eyed in one page and laughing out loud the next. Hughes and Allred were outstanding and fit their parts the best. Kuder delivered good pages but next to them anybody else will suffer. Kuder is great for this series and i would love to see what he does next. Excelsior!!!

Outstanding job by Dan Slott and Aaron Kuder. Finally this book gets going and i love it! The story is nicely delivered at a great pace. The art is detailed and fits the ideas well. Marte Gracia & Erick Arciniega as colorits were terrific and made Kuder's art pop. Keep it going guys!!

This checks all of my Fantastic Four elements and it would make Stan and Kirby proud! Yes Doom is back to his old self but based on all that happened before It was expected. I never knew why? Bendis never delivered a real reason anyway. I'm sure the council of RRs will come into play eventually and we will see that version...I hope. The art was fantastic! Kuder being mixed with Paco and Caselli is great!!

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!

Great issue! This is has turned out to be the best X-Book in the line. Zeb Wells is so good, he made me care about a nanny in an egg costume along with all the misfits in this disaster of a team. Segovia coming back is well appreciated because this is his craft as much as Wells.

Who would have thought this would be one of the best titles in the X line of books. Zeb Wells and Segovia did well!!

This is finally at where my early memories of comic book reading days. It was a pleasure to read with some seriously outstanding art from Javier Rodriguez A+. I know it might be a summary of what everyone already knows but to me this is nostalgia done well and I enjoy it immensely! I'm not looking for a story or a payoff.

Just gorgeous page after page of nostalgia!

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.

You certainly don't need me to tell you why you should read this one but I will anyway. In one issue Hikcman makes Moira the central most intriguing figure of X-men history period. I needed charts and I got them. Thanks!! Larraz and Gracia are the right choice for this and no single panel is wasted or neglected. Just beautiful work page after page!!

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.

Brilliantly done. Well researched and put together. What a reveal! No details from me because it has to be read and enjoyed without spoilers. It's amazing how great and uneasy the story feels. Also thanks Bendis! Pepe Larraz's art cannot get any better. It's half the reason this book is what is. Gracia's colors gave it some nice vibrancy. That last page man the sun flare looked too real!

Hickman, Larraz and Gracia delivered a great end to House of X and a beautiful beginning for the X-Men. So many possibilities. I'm very excited for the X-Men and that hasn't happened for a long time. Also those two maps hold so many clues....mmmh? Kudos everyone!

Wow! I had to read this one over and over to get the full spectrum of what's happening and who's using who and how the future mimics the past so kudos to Tom King for that setup. Greg Smallwood's art and his coloring is beyond phenomenal! The guy is insanely locked in.

Great book by Ewing and great flow. All the new and old elements merged in a beautiful manner! Joe Bennett is outstanding here. His horror show is just crazy. Loved the different inking by Jose and of course Mounts on colors is the icing on the cake!!

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!

Outstanding stuff. What more can you say about this story from Ewing except it's much better when Bennett is back on art duty and he kills it. He was born to draw this book. Add Jose's inks and Milla colors and it's almost perfect.

I wish I can read this in TPB but it would get spoiled for me and I'm too impatient anyway. Well crafted and beautifully illustrated. Whoever reads this in 2022 when it's all collected is in for a treat.

He can do no wrong. Thought provoking dialogue and musings landed so well here. Ewing's use of the Thing is excellent. What else if left to say but the art team of Bennet/Jose/Mounts is as excellent as ever!

Chef's kiss!! I am not surprised by anything anymore and the team still finds ways to make me love this book every time!

This was a great read with very nice misdirection. I wish Gillen did stuff like this in the main Judgement Day books but I'm happy we're getting traction here. Lucas Werneck is wonderful especially with Curiel on colors! I'm glad Guillen and Ewing actually deliver in these tie-in books and not just waste time as has been the case with others.

Great stuff from Duggan. I love that we get to finish the GOTG story with all of their shenanigans. While bringing this infinity story to a broader stage. Good action well complimented by Kuder. The guy is good! Hawthorne isn't bad either and he tackles Adam Warlock's entrance and the last page got me pleased. It's fun!

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!

Alex Ross is easily a 10/10 here. It should be in a museum. Waid's story is captivating. I can't help but compare this to Busiek's Marvels and I enjoyed that story much more than this one. If I read this back in 1996 I'm sure I would have been blown away. Still, This is easily the best DC comic story and art combination I have ever read or seen.

Great writing by Jason Aaron getting me hyped for the future of Marvel Comics. From Feeling bad for Deadpool to wanting my Logan book RIGHT NOW. The art team on this previewish book was phenomenal. I'm on board for Legacy!

This one is even better than the first. If you like the FF4 then this is a must read. Zdarsky has got the tone in just the right mix of serious, funny and emotional. The art of Jim Cheung is in top notch form here with very detailed art while Martin gives it a mix of colors that makes it look old school and modern at the same time.

Zdarsky and Schiti are killing it!

Fantastic!!(Pun Intended) Zdarsky and Schiti/Martin are doing wonders with this book!

Wonderful. I could not put it down. The work and research that Alex Ross and Kurt Busiek did to make this book is quite a feat!

Great book!

Just absolutely fantastic issue. Very much enjoyed the X² world Hickman built and what an exciting read with just a very unexpected finish. Silva and Gracia are just so good that it flows and shines throughout. No bad or unfocused panel.

This issue is an outstanding "What If" directly part of continuity. Slott was made for books like this. Great writing and ideas with the classic F4 tale rewoven in a cool way! Javier Rodriguez's art is a perfect match for the classic and futuristic worlds. I need those new F4 costumes asap.

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.

Great work by Spencer and much better than the last one. Having Acuna doing the art made it beautiful to look at. Wish he was the artist for the whole thing.

The best duo at it again. I can't wait for #4

It's just a whole much better looking book and story with Opena and Hollingsworth. They bring Remender's ideas to life.

Absolutely great! Cates delivers a better second issue than i thought he would. Tradd Moore just kills it every time! Stewart's colors are just splendid!!

Absolutely gorgeous in story and art. Moore, Cates and Stewart are just lights out!

Outstanding book!

Well done from Tom King and Bilquis Evely. I never thought I would enjoy a fantasy/sci-fi/drama Supergirl comic this much. This has many real life influences and is illustrated hauntingly and beautifully by Belquis Evely and Matheus Lopes.

The die is cast! Gage has brought this heartbreak of story to an end and what an experiment this Superior Spider-Otto was. Six years of fun stories had to end. 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.

Great issue. Otto is written well by Gage who has a nice supporting cast for him to play off especially Anna Maria. Had me almost shedding a tear for Doc Ock of all people...that's growth through writing right there. 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!!

The best issue yet. It just delivers laughs and insane scenarios. Batman has never been this hilarious. Fraction's nonsense scenarios are put on paper beautifully by Lieber and nice colors from Fairbairn. Shoutout to the best Joker: Phillie Phanatic in the background although Gritty should've been there.

Wow! Cates and Shaw knocked it out of here.

This feels special. Great team of creators!!

Complete package here folks. Storytelling and great art. You're not gonna find a better book this week.

Hard to see how they top this epic issue but the duo of Cates and Shaw are delivering on every aspect and more. Too bad it will end.

Thanos Wins!! Kudos to Cates and Shaw they're winners too!! They've delivered a brand new wrinkle on an old Titan. This is the arc i will recommend from now on when a person asks what to read next?

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?

Fantastic finish to this story and I wish I had more to read with these guys. I couldn't get enough. Hickman delivered the goods and more so I am not surprised but what I turn around after last issue. Mahmud Asrar and Gho were terrific and nailed all of it down. Kudos!!

It only gets better. Hickman brings all aspects of international politics, economics and world history together to give us the best X-men issue yet of Dawn of X. The speeches are delivered so well that the action scenes underneath work great too. Yu, Alanguilan and Gho were a perfect art match for this story!

This is it, the best book issue of 2020 so far. Finally getting into the philosophy and meaning of eternity and immortality within the new Krakoan heaven for the X-Men. 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. His art is sharp and splendid. Apocalypse never looked better. Gho's colors were near perfect!

Nicely done. Cool book! Well paced and well researched story. I had to take my time and read and re-read it as i went along and i wanted more. Spent so much time looking at his illustrations.

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 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.

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.

Great start and absolute joy to read. Really liked the Eddie and Spidey pages. Never been a fan of Carnage but with Cates and Stegman, I'm willing to give a shot. Also JP Mayer and Martin Jr. did an outstanding job too!

You know it's good when you're left wanting more at the end. Spoiled with the last bigger issue so this one felt over too quick. Credit to Donny Cates for creating it. Stegman's art is just wild man! Mayer and Martin complement his style very well.

Just smooth and sucks you in. Camp and Rodriguez are great!

I don't remember a book blending story/narrative and art this good at least not recently.

Absolutely great! Deniz Camp and Javier Rodriguez created something here worth visiting again when assembled in hardcover.

This was well done from Hickman. Went in with low expectations and he built a world I want to explore more. Esad Ribic is a classic artist and always delivers! Svorcina's colors are tremendous as always but many pages are washed out with light or smoke but also I get what they were going for.

Man this needs to be a 12 issue mini. Gold nuggets all over just thrown away. Can be flushed more but that bleakness can drag on. Esad Ribic is at the peak of his craft. Svorcina finally turns up the colors and the hues are much better here.

It was good but man do we need a 12 issue series to really make the story work. Still I enjoyed it and Hickman's ideas with Ribic's art are always a winner. Those Venom and Sinister Alien hybrids were a chef's kiss!

One of the best books out right now. Duggan is having fun and Kuder is churning out some of his best work!

Duggan continues his story and fills in all the pieces and solves the mystery bit by bit. Nicely done! The art was good and fits this story well. People complaining about the missing cosmic side, Abnett and Lanning's threads not being part of the Guardians Legacy should be reading this book. It's all there.

Wow. Nice Gamora mystery focused issue. Loved it and the art fits very well!!

Fantastic and mysterious story by Duggan. Awesome art by Kuder and lovely colors by Svorcina. I'm excited for the future of this cosmic tale.

Taylor and Rosanas pulled it off! Nice work!

Tom Taylor delivered the goods with this story. Enjoyed it very much. Rosanas crafted some incredible clean art and just crushed it. Woodard applied the right tones of colors to make it pop yet feel subdued! P.S. is it wrong that i enjoyed this more than the Hunt for Wolverine?

Great one shot and perfect matching art by Smallwood!

Slott does a great Peter Parker. Pencils by Immonen were so well done and nicely colored by Gracia.

Great stuff. This was more of a greatest hits journey with the Amazing Spider-man artists as it was the finale against Red Goblin. That was a bit underwhelming but Slott still delivered plenty of stories and cameos. Worth the admission ticket.

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.

Great writing and great art. Love it!

Great set up. Spencer proves he's fit for ASM. His take on Craven is both heartbreaking and hilarious. I love his use of Black Ant and Taskmaster!! Ryan Ottley, Rathburn and Martin cannot be praised enough!!

Great writing by Spencer. His use of Spidey's villains and orbit characters is excellent. Made this tie-in well worth the money. Coello's art is just splendid to the point that he needs to be a regular artist on ASM. Delgado's use of color was a great match and well done especially in the present/past scenes effects.

Spencer has truly taken what Slott has done and used it well to make a fresh start without feeling like it's disconnected from what has come before it. It really is a fun book to read. Ottley's art is great and is even better thanks to Laura Martin's colors.

Well here we go for year two and I'm still excited about where Spencer is going. New villain and hopefully new angles. Love Ottley's art and can't imagine it without!

Pretty good stuff. All of the stories were good and delivered some nice moments (even the last few pages). I'm enjoying this title and steadily been good with some nice art to go along. 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. Too bad!

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.

I quite enjoyed this start to the new arc. Spencer does just enough to keep me guessing with this overdone 2099 world but I'll bite for now. Obviously Gleason's art is incredible and perfect for ASM. Add Wilson's colors and it's a beauty!!

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.

Well done job by Spencer in his starting arc. Ottley, Rathburn and Martin are keeping the art pretty great!

Much better than the last one and I have no gripes this time. Love all of the hints and I hope they do deliver. Gleason is just straight fire here. Delgado is perfect on colors.

Great stuff. Loved Spencer's take here on a mundane story that was well executed. The black Ant bit was too good. Loved the art by Ramos/Delgado that was well inked by Victor Olazaba and the classic Superior Foes flashbacks by Steve Lieber/Rachel Rosenberg. Great all around!

It's very good but I have no idea why this wasn't done 5 issues back. I like Spencer but this run has way too much filler and drag. The ideas are great and few issues are exceptional but the sum is very OK. I hope he ends it well. Bagley is fantastic as usual and gives it the classic feel it was going for.

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.

Great stuff. I continue to enjoy Spencer's humor and love his take on these characters. You know you're good when you make me care about Boomerang. Humberto Ramos and Delgado can be a hit or miss but they again deliver a great one here. Miss the Superior foes with that Lieber spread!

Great issue! Keep it going!

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.

What a turn around from the first half. I'm not gonna lie they had us with that messed up mix headed nowhere fast. MacKay is a great writer and he gets to play with dynamics that put a smile on my face. Enjoyed it! Gomez has pumped up his art a notch and delivered some great visuals with vibrant Valenza colors!

Great issue. Better than the last. Picked up those threads and ran with them. I like Spencer's stuff so far. He's handling those angles very well. Ramos and Bandini delivered the goods and fit well together.

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.

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 story just works really well! I didn't care much for Itsy Bitsy back in Kelly's Deadpool/Spidey book but I'm glad he turned her mad dialogue down, gave her a better costume and she became a better character for it. Meanwhile Pepe Larraz is absolutely phenomenal!

I'm enjoying this book a lot more than I thought I would. Big up Joe Kelly! Pepe Larraz is aa big portion of that enjoyment because he delivered absolutely gorgeous art. Kudos to Marte Gracia on colors!

Stegman makes this book look so beautiful with Help from colorist Sonia. Splash pages Galore. Conway writes a great MJ and it's just pure joy to read and look at.

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!

Great job! This was well worth the wait and I'm glad Marvel got this last 2 issues to print. Zeb Wells is great in his writing from the recap page to the end. Enjoyed it very much! Burnett's art is fantastic and full of energy that comes through with Spicer's vibrant colors.

Great and fun mini series with heart! If we get more then I'm there for it. I just Hope Burnett comes back too.

Takes you back to a different era! Great job! Reilly and Bellaire are awesome with that classic looking art!

Almost everything coming from Ewing right now is fire. He pays attention to continuity and uses it just at the right dosage to give his stories weight. Tom Reilly delivers remarkable looking classic yet fresh art and Jordie Bellaire makes it all shine with great coloring!

Ewing/Reilly/Bellaire are a great team delivering a nice homage to Ant-Man.

Fun book through and through. Waid has the voices down for both and Garron's art has never looked better. Very much enjoyed this one!!

This book is absolutely fun and is what i look forward to reading when it's out. Waid's take and Garron's art with Silva colors is just a great match. Keep it up!!

Great story by Waid and awesome art by Garron beautifully colored by Silva. One of my favorite books because it's just fun!!!

What a wonderful mini series this was. I feel like i need more. Should've been an ongoing. Kudos to Waid for his great writing, Garron for his Amazing art and Silva's beautiful colors. Javier Garron has done an outstanding job here!!

Great art! Mike Del Mundo is really the star of this issue. The story has a great premise and well delivered. I loved it!

Waid delivers a great issue where the teammates duos bond in the midst of the chaos of their world. Del Mundo delivers a beautiful book and i can't get enough of his art.

Kang by Waid and Del Mundo is better than i thought and i had high expectations.

Avengers+Kang by Waid and DelMundo is Molto bene!!!

Great concept by Waid and awesome art by Del Mundo. This is what i want out of my Avengers stories. Everyone is involved here.

Great work by Waid that's elevated by Saiz's art. Seriously this whole crossover should've been illustrated by Saiz or at least artists of his caliber. It would have felt more coherent. But as a standalone issue, it's the best one so far.

Great start. Nice mystery with beautiful art.

Very well done issue that builds on the mystery and keeps the classic Avengers story feel going. Pepe Larraz is fantastic as usual.

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.

It's a great issue! I'm not not even reading war of the realms but there is enough here for me to enjoy! That's the way it's supposed to be. McGuiness and Morales are a great combo for some great art. I also think this might've been Justin Ponsor's last colored book from the hospital. His stuff is unmatched!!

OK it was fun and much better from Aaron. It's a shame that things are dragged out so slowly but at least this issue didn't feel like a shore to read. The art from MsGuinness, Medina, Morales and Keith was fantastic and made it very enjoyable. Those details, ink lines and colors were pretty pretty good!

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!

Great stuff. Aaron manages to continue telling a story so big in scope and he succeeds in many things even the ending that is absurd but completely has me on board because of the setup. The art by Medina and McGuiness along with Curiel's perfect coloring has a lot to do with why this comic book succeeds. Medina is doing his best work here!

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.

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!

Wow! Yes this team of writers is actually delivering a second issue that's better than the first. Great job by Paco Medina whose awesome pencils and smooth lines are enhanced by Vlasco and Aburtov. I loved how they intertwined the story with Clint Barton's POV. Tough to keep it at this level but i'm hoping they do!

It's fun. I enjoyed it very much so. Step up from last week. That's all I ask for in these things: fun reading with some nice art and this book has both. I laughed out loud at Hawkeye!

It was great. No matter how the purists see it. This issue was well done by the writing team and Zub's touches were good. It had me interested in Conan and i really don't give a damn about him at all. Sean Izaakse is outstanding here. I think it's his best work yet. Greatly enhanced by Ramos and Menyz's colors which made full service of all hues of the rainbow. Great job everyone!!

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.

This series is a comic book done right period by Zdarsky/Acuna. I like how it feels, how it reads and how the art is perfectly matched to the tones and fully enhances it. Acuna is fantastic and I love everything art wise here. No notes!

I enjoyed this universe of Avengers from Zdarsky that I wish we had another 6 issues. Well handled finale and beautifully illustrated by the ARTiST Daniel Acuna. Seriously wish Acuna did more work because his style is wonderfully unique.

Quality as usual story and art both top notch!

Saladin is getting in the groove with a nice supporting cast plus Ward is just trippy!

Saladin Ahmed obviuously has a Black Bolt story to tell with a supporting team i would have never thought of or think it would work but he sure does that with twists and more. Ward is a perfect fit with his psychedelic visuals and beautiful colors.

Great work by Ahmed. Nicely paced storytelling that took its time and made the payoff much better at the end. Ward's art couldn't have been better here. He's the perfect fit for this trippy cosmic book.

black bolt by Ahmed and Ward continues to be top notch. I wish i can read the next chapter already.

Started rocky but ended up being great and it makes sense that Coates might wants us to relate to T'Challa this way. The art of Acuna is what sold me on it and the story being a mystery is a plus.

Great one! Although this obviously reads much better collected like all Coates's work, I do think I like Acuna's perspective the best.

Slow build and finally a chapter by Coates delivers some nice rewards. Even if T'Challa isn't as prominent here, the surrounding characters got plenty spotlight. Daniel Acuna is a master of his craft. This book would not have the same impact without his ridiculously good art.

Calm and great issue where T'challa and his supporting cast have to come to grip with what his empire and legacy mean in Earth Prime and galaxies abroad. Very enjoyable issue from Coates with killer Acuna art that makes it look beautiful!!

I quite enjoyed this issue. It took its time to bring certain important characters in and let them breath a bit. Acuna is an absolutely masterful artist so I will miss his art.

Coates story is good but what makes it above the usual is Acuna's art which is amazing!!

Coates is trucking along and i dig what he's doing. Daniel Acuna is a master artist. Period.

You can't go wrong with this book. Remender ups the stakes while Scalera and Dinisio churn out pretty art.

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.

Duggan is actually making me like Kid Cable (yes he will always be kid cable to me) and the way he has so many threads going is nice. Makes me want to know more. Deadpool is here and Duggan didn't miss a beat. Also That letter toward the end is hilarious. But this book wouldn't work without Noto. Fantastic art!!

And another one!

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.

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.

What a great start. This is grounded but it so well done and delivered from Straczynski. Feels familiar but not boring or forced. Just natural storytelling from a pro. Jesus Saiz's art is perfect. So well detailed and nothing wasted or rushed. Also those colors from Hollingsworth are too good when matching past and present and all moods of the scenes.

Great issue showcasing what this book was about this whole run. Great nod with the cover to Steve Rogers quitting is just the start. Spencer and Acuna make this comic too good!

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!!

Great set up issue. Saiz is awesome. I just have so many questions about Elisa Sinclair.

Great script and art. This book is heartbrakingly awesome.

I liked this one a lot. Cates is hit or miss for me and this one so far is very good and the art by Shaw matches the vibe very well. I can't wait to read more. The only thing I couldn't believe is seeing Batman still behind bars? I'm sure he's already out and back into the dome by now.

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. No surprise that the best issues are when Paolo Rivera is the artist with Javier Rodriguez's colors. Also the lettering by Caramagna in the Mole Man's underground dark lair was perfect!

Well done!

Great stuff!!

Just beautiful all around. Zdarsky, Fornes and Woodard are just (Insert chef's kiss here mmmaahh)

Great work as always but this issue was well paced and even better put together. Kudos to Zdarsky! Fornes art though was great and gave it some crime noir vibes even as the nice colors by Woodard made it pop.

Excellent! It had everything. What a build up to the last few pages. Checchetto delivers yet again with his detailed beautiful art!

Very engaging story. Well done by Zdarsky. I feel like he produced an issue that's better than the first. Of course Checchetto and Gho are a nice complimentary art team that builds a fitting environment.

Great drama, plenty of good threads to go around but the best one was the chat with Tony. Zdarsky just keeps building. Mobili, Olazaba and Iacono did a great job too on art.

Great work! Very nourishing issue. All gears are moving now and I like it a lot! Zdarsky somehow is really good at this. Chechetto's work is outstanding and he seems to have changed his art a bit too. The edges are tight and hazy at the same time, it's amazing. The body language and the angles are wonderful. Menyz's colors were very complementary to the mood changes.

I hate the whole Knull thing but I loved this issue. Zdarsky just knows exactly what buttons to pushh. Chechetto and Hawthorne again are perfect in this combination between the different scenes! Also those inks by Di Benedetto over Hawthorne pencils are sick and made the whole Venomized DD and Matt art POP!!

I'm fully onboard this again. Great moments whether you agree or not it is still well crafted with some nice Checchetto art and really good coloring by Menyz.

Great issue and very eventful dynamics between all threads. Wonderful art from Hawthorne with tight inks from DiBenedetto and nice colors from Menyz.

Fantastic work here from Zdarsky! I like the way he does drama and how well it lands for me. This would not hit as well if Mike Hawthorne was not on pencils. 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.

Yet another great issue. Zdarsky keeps me invested in the story and I like his take on DD. We'll see these two go at it again and I'm sure Castle ain't gonna be happy. Checchetto's art is flawless.

Hey at least Duggan can make this dumb Dark Web nonsense work with even dumber heartfelt storytelling mixed with great humor. I enjoyed this one. Noto is very good as usual but Rod Reis's art spreads are absolutely gorgeous.

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.

Duggan and Lolli deliver the goods. This is not gonna end well!!

Duggan, Lolli and Hawthorne are bringing their A game here.

It had to end. Deadpool can never be happy. Duggan and company have had a great run. It makes me excited for what they planned for him in the future.

Wow David Marquez's action panels are just something else. No need for words.

Ewing and Rodriguez are perfect for this trippy story! Very enjoyable!

Ewing and Rodriguez are doing a great job creating newish things and I appreciate the effort to expand things!

Excellent!

Always a treat to read an Ewing/Rodriguez production!

The Ultimates are back it again! Ewing and Rodriguez are a must read if you want to explore the MU lore.

Man i really love what Duggan has done and couldn't be happier to have it illustrated by Koblish. He just knows how to hit the right dark notes with his art to make this story so much better. To be honest i was ready to hate this book before i read it since i loved the Deadpool from the past few years so much. Well my fears are gone and i can't wait for what's next!

Really well done by Duggan. Dark and ridiculous at the same time. Koblish's style is a nice fit for this story.

Duggan's style of mixing drama, suspense and humor plus Koblish's unique grim very detailed style and Nick Filardi's colors just make this book pure crazy comics fun.

Fantastic book!

Why must you make me root for wade like this. It's a testament to Duggan's work to elevate this horrible clown to something more while dragging him down to the abyss. I had to stop after reading the last few pages and just think about it. Lolli again nails the mood like he did back in issue 20.

Great FUN!! I'm very much enjoying Duggan's shenanigans with Wade as he closes out his time with him. Hawthorne is a true artist who is obviously having fun too!!

Duggan is going out on a high note. Crafting a nice story for Wade that Hawthorne illustrates with clean lines and impeccable art that Pallot/Bellaire bring to life. Hawkeyes Assemble!

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.

This put the story back on track and I had so much fun just letting go and enjoying the ride of Super Miguel and LoLo kick you in this story with some old school feels. Joe Quinones did nothing wrong. He was perfect!! That King Kirby art with the krackle and the old school yellowed paper and colors were sublime!! I loved many of the cameos especially the golden age Captain Marvel/Shazzam being the perfect rival to Super Miguel and again Quinones knocks it out.

Well paced storytelling by cates with a nice surprise at the end. Walta fits well in the moody intimate settings.

Just wonderful witty yet dark writing by Cates and beautiful art by Henrichon. Also Annie from misery would be proud of that final page!

Cates is fantastic in his writing of Strange and Bats as they circle the pits of Hell-Ception. Niko Henrichon is a treat in this book with his art from splash pages to intimate simple pages that convey the mood perfectly.

Great wrap up to Da-TAR-nation with plentiful exploration of what Stephen has gotten himself into. Obviously you need to read the mini-event to get all of the goods but i can see it being a SMALL problem as a stand alone. It works really well because both the Chaos and the quiet moments are well illustrated by Niko Henrichon.

Well done. I enjoyed Waid's take on Strange. I hope the pace picks up a bit. Jesus Saiz's art is a big part of why i enjoyed this first outing.

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.

When Waid is paired with a great artist like Saiz, it makes for a really enjoyable read. It's gonna be almost 2 months for the next issue to follow on that cliffhanger.

Cates and Spencer craft a great first issue that just has the right amount of suspense, action and humor. Rod Reis's art is a pure joy to look at. I'm on board the Cates train!

I've truly enjoyed this issue and yes the writing was great and had some nice twists mixed in with cliched stuff but the art by Rod Reis is outta this world awesome. The splash page in the middle put a smile on my face. Fun comic book!

This book is a great Elektra read with an intriguing story from Blackman but the packaging in a phenomenal way by Del Mundo takes the cake. This art right here is career defining stuff.

Great intro that's very well put together. I liked the Warners a lot and they deserve a bigger role. I really don't care about the Empyre event but I will check out the next issue....in ahhh June? The art was outstanding and worked so well. Rodriguez is great as usual but de Lulis is killing it here!

This book is absolutely great! Slow cooking yet keeps my attention and delivers well. Gillen is doing some nice things with the Eternals. 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!!

Very well done and much better than the the first one. Now the story is much more interesting and the way Gillen structured all the parts out made for a very nice read. Ribic is as good as it gets and a joy to look at. I also like Wilson's coloring better this time around.

Nice and Slow! Ribic and Wilson are awesome as always.

Great stuff as usual. I need this book to be an ongoing but alas!

Very well done!

Quality on all fronts!

Great start!!

Javier Rodriguez's art is worth the ticket alone. Ahmed plays with the 1001 Arabian nights stories and mashes them up with MARVEL characters. It works mostly and it's fun. Put a smile on my face!

Brisson has delivered a very good first issue with a great story. Of course Pepe Larraz is the star here. His art is so good and i struggle to find a weakness in it. 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!!

Quite enjoyed this first issue. The heart is there, the art was great but the price wasn't good.

Slott is hitting all the right notes. The only downside is this issue needed more room to breathe while facing Entropy. The art is just magnificent. Pichelli's designs are otherworldly and they're finely colored by Gracia!

Fun and very enjoyable. I had a smile on my face the whole time. Paco Medina had some nice art here and it fit perfectly. Aburtov nailed it too! Now I'm ready to shake things up next issue and I hope Slott delivers.

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.

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.

Finally this book is working well! All that was needed was a consistent great artist and a meatier story after so much setup. Keep it going now! Slott and Kuder work well together. Slott use of the conflict and team dynamic is excellent. Everything great about FF is here. Kuder's art is flawless and with Gracia's phenomenal colors, I can't look away! Keep them on Marvel!

Magnifique work!! A.I. done by Ryan North was beautiful. It's like a 60s black and white Twilight Zone mixed in with Doctor Who dropped in a FF world. 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. Ivan Fiorelli on art was pretty clean!

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 what the FF are about: fun adventures with questions of dual hopelessness and hopefulness for the future. Ryan keeps the sciency mumbo jumbo going at hyper speed while Carlos Gomez delivers some of his best art colored nicely by Jesus Aburtov.

Doom! Great issue from all angles. Many re-used tropes but very well executed nonetheless. Coello/Aburtov on art are great too!

I enjoyed this much better than the first issue. Waid is doing his thing with the FF. Neal Adams is amazing in some splash pages and spreads and then off in other panels but it's great overall and I enjoy his style for this book giving that classic feel.

It was nice and enjoyable!

Even better than the first issue. Taylor is churning a good one here and i like what Cabal and Woodard are doing on art a lot!

I Can't believe i'm enjoying this book just as much as ASM. Nice work by Taylor, Cabal and Woodard!!

Good end to this arc. Taylor is the right fit with this story while Cabal and Woodard are nice together!

It's pretty good and a must read Taylor and Cabal are great together! But I still feel that Spectacular Spider-Man 310 is still the best modern Spider-Man single issue.

Great story by Taylor. It could have been better with another issue to stretch those moments with more details by credit to him for making it all fit in one. Lashley and Cabal worked well together as present/past sequences. I thought this book was gonna be redundant but man was I wrong!

The best generations book and a great story for Sam well illustrated by Renaud. Spencer ends his run on a good note!

This a great story even if it's obviously hiding what Fantomex is looking for in the world. It's not just his twin. That will be brought out later. Hickman does his usual hook here and delivers an engaging story. Rod Reis makes it work so well and creates something beautiful. The fact that he's responsible for all of the art and designs is truly worthy of praise.

Duggan totally had me going this issue. I very much enjoy this book and i will miss it. Marcus To has been a nice steady addition and i love his style. He makes it work well and conveys so much even with everyone wearing Nova Corps Helmets.

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.

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.

Well done with this group and this issue felt really nice to read. There are too many characters and it's about to get crazier. I hope some don't get lost. Cabal's art is fantastic as always and he will be missed.

Nice!

Greatly enjoyed the second issue compared to the first. It made me add it to my pull list right away as I was hesitant after issue 1. The pace of Ewing's ideas are a great. Add Cabal's art and designs with Blee colors and it was fantastic to look at.

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.

I love this Ewing story much better than the previous Cates one. Tons of great moments that are well put together. Cabal's art is top notch and his compositions are fantastic. I don't think I've seen Blee's color work before but it's pretty good.

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!

Zeb Wells is good...really good! Segovia and Curiel did some nice work here too!

This was a very enjoyable issue. Wells is too good with this cast. Segovia's art with Curiel colors is fantastic!

I liked this issue in the scope of the Gala because these guys are the worst even as they strike some sympathy sometimes. Segovia nailed those faces and dynamics! Again Zeb Wells does no wrong in my book or this book.

This is a constantly good read and actually trying to tell a story instead of cramming nonsense like the others. I'm glad this is a side quest keeping with the previous narrative. Carnero and Curiel were a great combo!

Great summation of what's what from the beginning. A lot of homework went into this. Javier Rodriguez and Lopez delivered a beautiful spectacle!

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.

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!

This was hilarious from Zdarsky. Had me laughing multiple times: Mon!Tage! Joe Quinones delivers great art that lands all the comedic moments perfectly!

Great stuff! Zdarsky from this era was pure comedy gold! It feels like I'm in the 80s or 90s but still current at the same time. Quinones is so good too! I love this book!

This book is a riot! Quinones is a perfect match for this looniness.

Great stuff from Zdarsky and Quinones! I'm so glad I read this one. Now looking for the next volume!

The charm and hilarious antics of Howard the Duck from Zdarsky is still coming through and the art from Quinones is top notch! This is a gem!

Linda, Shocket and Dee as an unusual family trio was introduced perfectly by Zdarsky. I actually cared for them by the end. Veronica Fish brought it with her cartoony yet expressive art.

Wow I thought Zdarsky has lost the initial spark with Howard but I was wrong. This was as good as the early issues. Just a perfect comedy! Kevin Maguire is the perfect fill in artist and I wish he did more interiors.

Wonderful narrative, pace and amazing art. Yes king can be predictable in some places but other points are fresh and unpredictable. Greg Smallwood deserves every cent he makes and needs even more because he combines many art types here and spins them with his own style to make it fit this story to the T.

Keeps the perfect pace with the story reveals and just right on many angles. But I'm here for Greg Smallwood's art which is amazing and engrosses you from start to finish.

Well color me schmeared! I like it a lot and I can't say enough good things about Smallwood. The feel, pace and aesthetics of this book are well done.

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." This is a story about choices and how far can you go before it's too late and where exactly is the point of no return. King does well here. Greg Smallwood is just magic as always.

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.

Well done! Hulk was never a character I cared about or followed until Immortal so I only knew bits and pieces from other titles. These collected old issues are well worth it if you want the context. Art was great and Mattia de Lulis's connecting 10 pages are excellent.

Outstanding work! Ewing has got his perfect book going. Bennett is drawing fantastic pages with some nice coloring from Mounts!!

Excellent. If you're not reading this book, you need to go back and catch up. Great use of narration by Ewing. He keeps me invested at the turn of every page. Hotz is an excellent artist for this book. Delivered the goods! It was nice to have Mounts do the colors which kept the look matched with previous issues!

Al Ewing is serving a greatly crafted Hulk story. I never cared about Hulk aside from his HULK SMASH persona and have tried to read some other stuff but wasn't interested. This though has me hooked. More please!! Bennet is back and he's as great as ever. Jose and Mounts complete the team for some splendid visuals that make the book unique.

There is no letting up and the book is consistently great!! I'm so glad this book has picked up many more readers in the last few months which means it has secured time for Ewing to keep telling his story with some special Bennett and Mounts art.

Good comics is good comics. Everyone on the team is killing it! I need to know what's next now!

They all fall down! Love how a guest artist like Bodenheim doesn't take away from the story but works well. Legit stuff!

Great issue yet again. Bennett just completes Ewing in this series. The curse of this series is that it's so good that people expect to be blown away every issue. But that's almost impossible. I say Enjoy well crafted issues like this one and remind yourself how there not many like them every week.

Just a great read! Very enjoyable and intriguing developments on the story front and fantastic art by Bennett and Co on the art. The Hulk has never looked better....or worse!

When the Immortal Hulk has long term plans! Joe Bennett/Jose/Mounts just make it all look amazing.

This is a well paced issue with great subject matter and awesome art. What else is new?

Great as always. Just the way Ewing lays it out. One of my favorite reads every time! But it's Bennett's pencils along with Jose's inks and Mounts colors that make it as great as it is. The art team greatly delivers intimate moments along with ridiculous splash pages!

Great yet again! Ewing and Bennet are becoming like chocolate and peanut butter! The Banner DID dynamic is fascinating and creepy. Hulk is about to get nasty. Dario Agger better hire more people quick because HR can't get them in fast enough. That splash spread of Xemnu feeding is an absolute masterpiece. I didn't even talk about Rodriguez's CRT TVs pages....too many good things are happening!

Ewing and Bennett flexing! The second half of this issue was nuts!

Just when things slow down to build up the layers and the tensions then they get real messed up real fast. Hawthorne is fantastic especially when Morales inks him. The dramatic scenes and faces were well done. Mounts coloring keeps that consistency of hues there even if Bennet isn't on pencils duty.

That last page was just messed up. This book is outstanding. Bennett/Jose/Mounts are a killer art team. 11 issues to go and how do you top that? But I need answers.

What are you looking for? Of course it's good as usual.

I liked it a lot!

Fantastic and just heartbreaking!!

Well paced and well executed. These story points need to be resolved before we deal with Sterns especially how Jen factors into it. Bennett's art and scenes were phenomenal as always. Jose and Mounts being there all throughout keeps it very tight, bright and familiar.

An enjoyable issue where Ewing plays with Hulk's relations to Super Heroes that is both violent and calm right before the bigger storm below. Still ton of questions that I cannot wait to get answers for. Bennett made this book the visual that it is along with Jose/Brabo/Mounts.

Great job. Ewing is making Hulk just as feared for his unexpected intelligence as much as what he's capable of doing power wise. Banner is in trouble. Bennett excelled here with his art. Fantastic!

Nice!

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.

Gillen has got an intriguing story going and I like it very much! Lucas Werneck is good but only when characters are static and posing. I mean they look fantastic! He needs to work on motion and action scenes and I believe in a few years he will be unstoppable.

Great issue!! It is very hard to imagine that last year's X-men book was filler material when it could have been these stories fleshed out properly before the bigger bang twists. Alas, I'll enjoy this conclusion arc and hope we can get another event a few years from now. The art was great! I just wish we had one artist throughout it but still all 3 are awesome just not complementary styles.

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!

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.

Adam warlock's journey is presented by a different Kang (maybe) at least he had me fooled. Combine it with the exquisite art of the Allreds and it's a must buy. Yes the story is lacking more details while trying to establish the mystery but this a very good appetizer and it made me very happy. Also if Kang is that scared then i really wanna know why?

This was a great first issue. Duggan delivers a nice setup up for the infinity watch along with loki's quest for answers. Some characters shine while others are background. Will wait and see how they're handled in later issues. Mike Deodato delivered his best art in a long while. From the first page i knew that he brought his A-game to this book. Frank Martin's colors were perfect.

I'm enjoying Duggan's style very much here and on board this crazy story until the wheels fall off(we'll see). Deodato's art and Martin' colors are top notch but some panels weren't clear which hindered the flow a bit.

Chip Zdarsky is on a hot streak...no not that kind...the other one. The good kind. I'm sucked in and want to know what happened. Guice and Magno work well together for their perspective sequences. Great start!!

Great Invaders book that's ending too quick. Yes it's obvious Zdarsky is rushing some things but I'm sure he was told to wrap it up after 12 issue. Guice and Magno are great together!!

A bit shaky at times but this issue lands the right feelings at the right moments that it works well overall. Charles Xavier gets dragged down yet again. Has the guy caused doom to everyone he touched.....it's a bit much. The art is great and I love the combo for past and present from Guice and Magno.

Great suspenseful read with some beautiful art.

Well Zdarsky just keeps delivering. I never thought I'd be reading all of his stuff and loving his dramas. Magno and Guice are tight in their work and fit well in their respective worlds.

This is great drama with some sweet art! Zdarsky knows how to real me in with his soap opera!!

Great work! I like the setup by Cantwell and Cafu doing the art is a treat!

This is a classic Waid issue. This is when I knew I'm here for the long haul. Dan Mora is insane and Tamra Bonvillain colors him the best of all.

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!

Well done! Huzzah!

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.

Nicely done! I'm on board this nostalgia trip.

Great hype for the FF!! Doom's exploration by Zdarsky is great!! Shalvey's art is good and has some nice scenes but somehow doesn't fit well.

Nice. This series is very refreshing. Zdarsky is the perfect guy to write the Fantastic 2. Had my doubts about Schiti but he did a great job and also it helped that Martin stayed as coloring artist. Go get'em!!!

Great end to the arc and one the best on-goings right now!!

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!!

Great!!

Great writing by Saladin Ahmed. He has the voices down for these characters even as the story is deconstructed a bit but it's the way it is these days. The art is just splendid. Could not have been any better. Javier Garron and David Curiel gel well together!

Great stuff from Ahmed. I love his perspective a lot. Not always correct but more often than none. Javier Garron is a star man! Love his lines and faces and wonderful sequences all around! That last shot of everyone at the movies is too good! Curiel matches him with very nice colors!
