Yeah... THIS GOES SO HARD!

HOLY MOTHER OF GOD! THIS IS INSANE!!!

An absolutely brutal issue that cleverly shows Bane's origin story and explains his motives in a way that makes the reader both scared (for Batman) and thrilled for the eventual showdown between Batman and Bane.

Holy shit this series is dark and brutal! This issue is basically the origin story of the absolute version of some of Batman's most iconic villain and goddamn I was NOT ready for how messed up it is. The way Snyder builds Bane as this dark unstoppable force really makes you want to see Batman finally DESTROY him. I seriously can't wait for their showdown, I'm sure it will be one for the ages. Without a doubt the best thing in comic books right now (along with Ultimate Spider-Man).

Absolute Banger.

Horrific.

Simply Brilliant! At this rate, if this series continues to be this good it might become my favourite Batman run ever. From writing to art to coloring, this was a stunning issue that not only introduced a terrifying take on Ivy, but also a certain villain that genuinely has me thrilled to see what’s going to happen. It’s very rare to have a writer reintroduce something he once did and I can’t wait to see what Snyder does next. Also, the Chainsaw Man vibes 🔥🔥🔥

Oh boy, the implications of the ending that Batman is becoming colder, more isolated, and less nice in general are so unbelievably exciting to me, I genuinely CAN NOT wait to see what Snyder has in store for us.

Holy... What an entrance from Scarecrow, it was genuinely insane, and I love everything about him so far. He's so cool. Besides, this issue had one of the most shocking moments in the series so far, which turns everything on its head and also introduces The Robins (can't explain how excited I am, what an awesome idea this is). This arc is a big one; it feels like everything up to this point was leading to this. Ughhh, how am I supposed to wait another month now 😫.

Simply fantastic! The mystery behind Bruce's backstory keeps getting more and more interesting, Scarecrow steals every scene he's in, Batman is a BADASS, the art is INSANE, and the tease for the upcoming Batman vs The Robins fight has me excited beyond words. Bruce is going to need the help of his friends with this one for sure, and it looks like that's what's going to happen, which is awesome. Honestly, I can't ask for more. This series is BY FAR the best ongoing!

Top-tier comic book.

WOW! Cates and Stegman are back together and it's just beautiful. I'm speechless! this was so much fun, from start to end. Every single page was entertaining and a blast to read. Read this!

Weird and trippy, just how I like it!

What a heartwarming ending. A beautiful way to end a run.

Some of the best stuff I've ever read. Absolutely amazing.

"Yes father. I shall become a bat." Masterclass of storytelling and world-building. Pretty much the definition of a classic.

"The hunk of metal in my hands is heavier than ever..." Thrilling. An issue full of action that manages to strike a perfect balance between action and character development. Not only this is one of the best Batman stories, it's also one of the best Gordon stories.

"The Apocalypse is cancelled. Until I say so."

Batman coming out of the grave has to be one of the best moments in Batman's comics ever.

One of the most satisfying issues I've ever read.

TOKYO MOON

Bravo, Snyder and Capullo, Bravo!

The Eric Border reveal was crazy!!!

I have a feeling this is going to be something special.

HOLY!!! An emotional issue that understands Batman on a deep level and why we love this character so much. No matter what he has to go through, Batman will always come back, even if it means sacrificing parts of himself. An absolute masterclass from both Snyder and Paquette.

One of the best single issues of all time. Visual masterpiece.

Outstanding. Such a perfect way to close a run. It all comes full circle. I'd say this is one of the better Batman runs I've read. Thank you Snyder and Capullo.

i'm not crying, my eyes are sweaty

Batman Annual #4 is a collection of short stories - told by Alfred - that perfectly captures the everyday life of Batman. There is no dialogue between characters, only Alfred explaining what we see on paper. And what we see on paper is beautiful art by Jorge Fornes and Mike Norton that makes this issue even better.

"THIS IS GOTHAM. KEEP THE GUN" damn, this is some good stuff.

Fantastic issue. This time around, we follow Thomas Wayne as he makes his way through the desert, setting up camps, fighting and singing to himself. While all of this is happening, I was at awe by how beautiful Janin's art was, just damn beautiful. Halfway through the issue, Bruce wakes up and that's where the interesting part starts. They both have a conversation about what happened prior and where they are heading. By the end, Bruce realizes where they are going and who is inside the coffin they were carrying. That realization ultimately makes us realize what was Thomas's plan all along and why he was helping Bane, and damn I thought it was good, I was in a complete shock. The issue ends with Bruce putting his cowl and looking like he's ready to help Thomas. The pace of this issue was nothing short of perfection, the balance between the silent pages and the ones with Bruce and Thomas talking to each other was great as it helped to make this issue super intense. Oh, and did I already mention that Janin's art was amazing? Because it was. And I also got to give praise for Bellaire, because that coloring was perfection.

I really liked it. I can already see people complaining about how this is filler but I think that it's good to finally have a more laid back issue that focuses on Bruce and Selina's relationship, especially after they were separated for so long. I thought that it was well written, heartwarming and beautiful. The art is so good I don't think I know a word to describe how good it is. And most importantly, this issue felt earned. I've been waiting for this kind of issue since #50 so I'm happy we finally got one.

This is probably the most emotional issue in the entire arc so far. Bruce learns about the death of Alfred which brings him to tears. The dialogue in this issue is mostly Alfred's last words to Bruce. Alfred recounts important events from Bruce's life, from the death of his parents to the wedding that never happened and concludes that Bruce will be happy again, smile again because he was already happy before and that he always finds a way to turn tragic events into something Hopeful. It's a powerful message.

Just spectacular!!! The way Waid writes the father-and-son relationship is just so well done. Moments like when Batman is worried about Dick and then trying to downplay it are so heartwarming and nice to read. This book has a lot of heart in it. And then you have the story, filled with mystery and excitement with a new villain who is genuinely interesting is just the cherry on top. All of this is brought to us by the incredible Chris Samnee who nails the Noir and moody feel of the story. What can I ask for more? Waid and Samnee were at the top of my list for who I want to write a Batman run and so far they are knocking it out of the park!

Man that issue hit me like a truck. Grant Morrison is truly the best Batman writer.

This issue is a perfect example of why I like Elseworlds stories so much.

What a fantastic first book. The story is great so far and the art is fantastic. It sets up everything perfectly and is basically everything I liked about Snyder and Capullo's run and more. The highlight for me was the Joker, the way Snyder utilized him in this was such an awesome idea. There are still some parts where some things are still unclear to me but it adds to the mystery so I'm cool with that. I'm super excited to see where this is going and I can't wait for the next one.

What's there to say? One of the most influential comic book stories ever written that helped change the way we look at comic books. A story with many layers and great art that has some of the best Batman moments ever. This is truly one of the best Batman stories.

"Something tells me to stop with the leg. I dont listen to it."

"I want you... to remember, Clark... in all the years to come... in your most private moments... I want you to remember... my hand... at your throat... I want... you to remember... THE ONE MAN WHO BEAT YOU."

This just might be my favourite Batman story ever.

Good and heartwarming ending to one of my favorite series in the last few years.

Matt has taken matters into his own hands and it's beautiful!

What a cruel issue.

Absolutely in love with this. It's perfect.

What a brutal fight! So satisfying.

A perfect conclusion to, honestly, a perfect sequel to Bendis' run.

One of the best runs ever. Absolutely incredible.

A character-driven issue that focuses on Matt's relationships with Kirsten (I love her!) and Foggy that captures perfectly why Matt - when he is not being Daredevil - is still such an entertaining character and how awesome his friendship with Foggy is. Also, Samnee is the best. I'm happy that it's gonna be mostly him on the art from now on.

A deep dive into Matt's psyche in both a fun (superhero style) and a grounded realistic (and emotional) way. Good stuff.

Genius usage of teleportation powers. It recontextualizes all the events of prior issues in a very satisfying way.

😔

Brilliant! This issue did an excellent job at making you feel the paranoia that Matt feels (the part with the elevator was chilling) and the reveal of who was behind all of it was awesome. However, where this issue truly excels at is in its massage. Fight, never give up. And that was evident in both the main story (Matt bringing the fight to them instead of waiting) and the backup story (with the children and the last 2 panels). Truly inspiring stuff!

With everything that's going on in Matt's life, this little adventure was like going on a break and having fun for once, until that ending that is. Honestly, this was kind of devastating. It's like trying to be happy but always having something at the back of your mind, ruining your mood. Not gonna lie, this issue hit me harder than I expected. Oh and that last page was GODDAMN beautiful! Good job Samnee.

What can I even say about this run anymore? It's just so good! Loved Elektra's appearance here and the ending was just something else. BRILLIANT.

Masterpiece.

Matt wearing that "I'm not Daredevil" shirt is just too good! Also, Paolo Rivera is a magician. Incredible art.

The story with Hawkeye at the beginning and the banter with Kirsten and Foggy was hilarious. The stunt with the helicopter was beautifully drawn and awesome. The copyright lawsuit was actually interesting (GJ Waid) and the twist at the end was incredible. Man, I love this series so much!

I love Kirsten.

"Years ago, God in one of his darker moods crammed much on the world's spite and cunning into a quarter-ton sack of flesh and named it Wilson Fisk" Ouch. Both a hilarious and brilliant way to describe the guy.

It's everything you want in a Daredevil story, just perfect!

Legendary run.

Daredevil is back on track! Kirsten is lovely as usual. Her dad's proposal sets up an interesting plot thread and everything with The Purple Man and The Purple Children was creepy and very intriguing. Also, an unexpected and interesting ending. Excellent issue!

Elektra is briefly back in Matt's life as they try to kidnap Fisk's right hand for information about how they fixed the election vote however, the new villain Vigil makes the fairly simple operation a complicated mess that leaves Wesley dead, and Elektra out of the picture. Add to that Noto's dream like visuals and we got ourself one of the most beautiful yet devastating issues in this run.

Holy shit this issue punched me in the face! So it was all a dream. It makes so much sense considering all the events leading up to this point. The dream like art, the blackouts throughout, the inaccuracies (Ikari and Tenfingers appearances don't make sense), the fast - too fast - pacing, the weirdness of it all. And it ended on an absolutely high note! The last couple pages choked me up and I loved how meta it was (basically recognising the cruel nature of the never ending comic book cycle) and how inspiring it was as well. MATT WILL NEVER GIVE UP NO MATTER WHAT. "I cannot see the light. So I will be the light. I am Daredevil. And I'm not afraid". What a mad underrated run!

Matt Murdock - human lie detector - against a telepath, in a poker match. Yeah... that shit's right up my alley.

"I hear the bad. I hear it all around, I hear it coming from a mile away... I hear it right in front of me, no matter how quiet it thinks it is". Peak fiction.

Wesley being the kind of man everyone wants to have by their side, Elektra training Matt, Cole doing some vigilantism and then having a crisis because of it, Marco Checchetto on the art. Yeah, this was perfect.

This is so good! Zdarsky's writing is always so good and thought-provoking. He always has something to say and the way he incorporates the themes he's exploring into the story is so well done and satisfying. This is an extremely smart comic book.

"Don't you feel it? Don't you feel it? You're back."

Matt sitting and just listening to the people of Hell's Kitchen, thinking about how his ability to listen to people might be a sign from god to do what he does, has to be one of my favorite moments from this run so far.

Another perfect issue. I loved Cole in this issue, some truly inspiring dialogue from him. Everything Matt did in this issue was perfect, especially the way he handled the hostage situation. The Owl vs Libris Family conflict is about to explode with the death of Thomas and I honestly can't wait to see someone put The Owl down already. The Stormwyns launching an attack on Hell's Kitchen led by Bullseye is an exciting cliffhanger. Can't wait to see how Fisk deals with this. Fornes art is f***** incredible. Especially during the chase scene. Brilliant run!

The last couple of pages with the Typhoid Mary reveal and Matt becoming Daredevil again gave me chills.

"You're Matt Murdock. You're Daredevil. And out of infinite possibilities... there's only one way this is going to go. My way." Insane issue. Seeing Matt take down Rhino, Crossbones, and Bullseye one by one was so satisfying. We also got to see Fisk, Cole, Typhoid Mary and the people of Hell's Kitchen helping too, which was awesome. Oh, and The Owl getting betrayed was beautiful. Then you have the ending in which Matt decides to turn himself in to the authorities. Can't wait to see how that goes.

So Matt is going to prison... as Daredevil. I like how this issue builds on Soule's Supreme arc where Matt manages to testify in court as Daredevil. With this law Foggy finds a way for Matt to keep his identity secret and it also fits well with Matt finally accepting the Daredevil identity, realising that it's a part of him that can't be abandoned.

Everything about this issue was absolute perfection! The conversation with Foggy, Elektra and then Spider-Man (especially with Spider-Man. What a GOATED moment that was) was everything I ever wanted from this book. This is my favourite issue in this series so far and probably one of my all time favourites ever. Chip Zdarsky you are a master.

Holy. F*****. Shit. Elektra. What a woman you are.

The Elektra issue we've all been waiting for! She's honestly the perfect successor to Matt and that costume is incredible. Checchetto is a really great designer. Also, more is revealed about Elektra's motives for the things she's done up until now. Another perfect issue in a (almost) perfect series.

Fantastic issue that touches on some interesting subjects, mainly the flawed prison system that doesn't do its best to rehabilitate inmates. Zdarsky's Daredevil continues to be thought-provoking, smart and beautiful. Also damn, Elektra is cold.

Phenomenal issue. I'm really enjoying Matt's story in prison and that fight outside was epic. Zdarsky writes a great Matt Murdock and his inner monologue is always amazing. Elektra shows Alice what's up and she's doing it in style. I adore everything Zdarsky is doing with Elektra. As far as I'm concerned, he's the best Elektra writer. Fisk story is coming along nicely as well, as it revealed that he's working on a new plan to kill both of the Daredevils. One of the plans involves Bullseye which mean we might get Elektra as Daredevil vs Bullseye and if that happens... oh boy, that will be good. Last but not least, Mike and Butch's plan to take over the underworld is also coming along nicely for them. Not gonna lie, I started to fear that plot thread might go nowhere. Happy to be proven otherwise and I can't wait to see how Mike is gonna use his "new" identity to achieve his goal. The way Zdarsky manages to tell 4 different storyline in one issue is a testament to how great of a writer he is. The pacing is tight. And of course, the star of the show, Marco checchetto, is as brilliant as always!

Absolutely and utterly, incredible!

Pacing is tight, action is fun, story keeps building up, character interactions are always nice, all the three main protagonists are well-written. You know, the usual. Daredevil by Chip Zdarsky is perfect.

Elektra fighting Bullseye and his clones (yeah, apparently they are clones from an experiment Fisk set up so he can have a Bullseye he could control. Interesting solution.) was as thrilling as I expected, all thanks to Checchetto God-tier art. That confrontation ends with Elektra almost dying but she manages to get Spidey and Tony to the scene just in time to save her. Once again Elektra shows she also has the brains. All while this is happening, a riot had started in the prison Daredevil is in that also involves some kind of gas (probably re-cid that was mentioned last issue) and Cole North is the one who was chosen to deal with it. Leading to one of the coldest pages and inner monologue I have seen in a long time.

Matt and Frank debating about the morality of their actions is always fun to read and this issue is no exception. Actually, this issue was better.

This issue has some of the best action scenes I have ever seen. The themes Zdarsky is exploring here and the way he does it is so well-written and thought-provoking. The conversation with his friends, then the flashback with the priest and at last, the confrontation with Spider-Man is all so perfect! There is no doubt in my mind that this is the strongest opening arc for any Daredevil run and Marco Checchetto (and Alex Maleev) is hands down the best Daredevil artist.

No action and yet this is one of the most thrilling issues I've read in a while. This issue speaks volumes to Zdarsky's writing.

This was a crazy opening issue. Matt tries to make the most out of the time he has left in Hell's Kitchen but things get complicated when Goldy comes back into his life, and it turns out he's... Matt's guardian angel? I have some thoughts about the direction this can go but I'll wait and see if I'm right. Nonetheless, it's very exciting. There's also a back-up story with Elektra where she goes to set-up base for "The Fist" and it was cool. Reminding us that either Matt or Elektra might not survive this. Art was gorgeous as usual and I really liked the nine panel grid that was used at the beginning and the end of the issue.

One of the greatest Daredevil issues of all time.

"All I have left to do... is die." Insane issue! Matt with an all-time great Daredevil moment. Shit was nuts. Also, de Latorre's art never looked better.

I... don't know what to say... this is the best issue I have ever read... it's perfect. And the art... best I've seen in a comic book. Wow... I'm speechless.

"I fight for love." The portrayal of Matt's faith in this issue is the best this character ever had. If you want to know the essence of who Matthew Murdock really is, this is the issue to read.

A perfect conclusion to a perfect run. This is now my favourite run of all time. Thank you Chip Zdarsky and Marco Checchetto (and everyone else who's been involved), I'm deeply grateful to you.

"God knows... the outcome of the play. But I still have to write the lines... and live with their consequences on his stage". The concept of Goldy as a character is such a crazy idea that it makes him one of the most intriguing new villains in Daredevil's rouge gallery. He's basically fate/destiny and so he brings cool new ways to test Matt's beliefs. the possibilities here are huge.

Another banger. This issue was mostly just talking but it's Zdarsky, so it's clever and has a lot of depth. I especially liked how Matt compared his life to the "trolley problem".

It's the issue Matt and Elektra get married, what more do you need? (That last page was so beautiful)

"Hn. Daredevil. Don't need saving. I'm right with God." "If you were... he wouldn't have sent the Devil." Even with a lot of uncertainty over his plan, Daredevil moves forward with his plan and decides to recruit some super-villains from a prison in the middle of the ocean. What ensues is one of the most Badass fights I've ever had the pleasure of reading. Absolutely insane issue with insane art.

As the war gets closer and closer, Daredevil tries to rehabilitate the Super-Villains by giving them therapy sessions and a better place (and conditions) to live, all in hopes that they choose to fight with him. The conversation between DD and Bullet was the highlight of the issue for me. I like how Zdarsky always points out the flaws in DD's beliefs and then have him face them. Then on the other side of the world, we have Elektra investigating if the rumours about The Hand using world leaders as puppets are real. After a fight with Iron man she finds out the unfortunate truth, the rumours are true, and to make things worse, the President jumps out of the window and kills himself, making it seem like an assassination, complicating everything for Matt and Elektra. Another amazing issue that is character-driven but also moves the plot forward in an interesting way. Art is great too.

Incredible. We see DD taking the rehabilitation one step further when he goes out to help people... with the help of Super-Villains. Matt shows them that there's a gap between law and good and that their job is to fill it. I love the way Zdarsky writes this, it's not so simple. He lets Bullet go but puts surveillance on him. Matt always has to make hard choices and his ambivalence towards his actions, as shown in his inner monologue, is just a treat to read. Then there's the fact that one of his main antagonists in this run is Frank Castle, and considering their debates over the years, all of what I said in the above gets a whole new level of meaning. Honestly, a perfect book.

An all-out war. Daredevil vs The Punisher. Both with armies behind them. Drawn by the insanely talented Marco Checchetto. Yeah, this issue was EPIC as f***!

Holy. F*****. Shit. This story is so utterly brilliant that not even a lackluster art can bring it down. Goosebumps.

Damn, tomasi did not disappoint. The detective stuff were really well done. Art is great and this was one of the best issues of batman I read in a while. And that ending! I can't express how much I want the next issue already. If you are looking for a batman comic other than the main series, than this one seems to be the best one (at least according to this issue).

"I WANT YOU ALL TO THINK OF THIS PLACE LIKE A CARNIVAL FUNHOUSE TONIGHT... EXCEPT THE ONLY MONSTER IN HERE WITH YOU... IS ME" Wow, this issue has it all. Badass batman, one of the most touching moments in a comic book I read in a while, gorgeous art and an interesting story. Pick this one up. I can't recommend it enough.

Oh god, Matt & Elektra vs Fisk & Mary was absolute peak. That fight alone was worth it all. When Matt used the cane but it didn't work because Fisk is pure evil I had chills. Great, great, great. And that's not all! Luke Cage and Joe vs The Purple Man, Butch reveal, Fisk betraying the Stormwyns and the entire fight with the rest of the superheroes. A satisfying conclusion that gives us all the answers and resolutions we wanted and then some.

Masterpiece.

Every month I'm amazed by how good this series is. Literally, the only "bad" thing I can say about this series is that it takes a lot of time for each issue to come out. But damn it's worth the wait every single time.

It's those small things that make Spider-Man such a good super-hero and one of my favorites. An amazing and emotional issue, a must read!

"Don't anticipate the explosion, cause the explosion" Banger of an issue.

Damn

House of X continues to be an engaging, thought-provoking, unique experience that you don't want to miss. This issue left me speechless. Simply put - It's a masterpiece.

Beautiful, Exciting, Emotional. House of X continues to blow my mind. At this point, this series is probably one of my all-time favorites with this issue being one of the best issues of the year. Hickman is changing the future of the X-Men here and it so damn good. This issue has it all. Fantastic dialogue, amazing art and a story that keeps you on edge. Instant classic.

Terrific. This issue was a fantastic conclusion to this amazing series. Everything went according to plan and Krakoa is now established as a nation. However, I can't shake the feeling that something will go wrong. Well, I guess we'll have to wait for the last issue of Powers of X to see if there will be any twist that will change everything.

We are in for some Mister Miracle/Vision level series.

I really have nothing much to say besides that it's just brilliant. If you are still not reading this series then what the hell are you doing? read it.

Holy shit! This is how you do it! This how you deliver exposition while progressing the story in a meaningful way. The way the issue unravels itself is brilliant. It might be a bit confusing at the start but by the end when you start to understand what is going on, it's so satisfying. What a banger!

I'm speechless.

One of the most exhilarating confrontations between Matt and Fisk. An absolute banger of an issue.

Feels like things are about to go wrong. Can't wait for the next issue.

holy "FUUUUG!" I don't even know what to say. Just amazing!

"AND THE FOURTH WORLD, MY CHILD, THAT IS MY WORLD. THE WORLD I SEE WHEN I CLOSE MY EYES... AND TRY TO ESCAPE" The story has been concluded and all I have to say is that it's A MASTERPIECE! King and Gerads managed to create something truly spectacular and I can't believe it's over. It makes me both happy and sad, It might be over but It was definitely a hell of a ride. Mister Miracle is easily one of the best comic books I have ever read and I can't wait for king and gerads's next work. A MUST READ!

A modern classic. What can I say, this is my favorite series from 2018 and probably one of my favorites of all time. Everything in this series is fantastic. The writing, the art, the goddamn art. It's fantastic! Honestly, this series has it all and skipping it would be a shame no doubt. I can't really say a lot about it without going into spoilers so just go and get it, it's a masterpiece.

"Wouldst thou like odinfries with that?" Goddamn, this was a cool issue. Art is perfect.

"Your face." "It's a mask. did they hurt you at all?" "No. They just carried me places. It's not a mask. It's your face." "Smart kid." Pure badassery on display.

"People who love me suffer and die. I never want to be loved. That's why I always win." An incredible short run that does an outstanding job at introducing Moon Knight in a unique, diverse and badass way. Combine all of this with Shalvey's extraordinary art, and you got yourself a hell of an introduction.

As good as it gets.

Masterpiece.

Absolutely beautiful book that keeps the mystery going while also exploring Marc's background and expanding on it in a meaningful way.

Utterly amazing. Marc's other personalities coming to help him was so beautiful and touching, like he's starting to understand that his mental illness is not his weakness but instead, his super powers. And the art! Some of the best out there.

This is such a good comicbook. So addicting, I can't put it down.

A powerful and heartwarming ending to one of the most unique, bizarre, and beautiful runs I've read in a long time.

This is crazy good.

The way Lemire blurs the lines between reality and hallucinations is nothing short of brilliant.

This just keeps getting better and better. I love how deeper we go into Egyptian mythology every issue and the way it's been utilised is brilliant (It starts raining when Sobek arrives). It's all pretty insane too, which makes it super fun to read. Also, that Greg Smallwood art, mwah, just *chef kiss*. There's a reason why Smallwood is one of my favourite artists, and it shows here.

I'll be damned if this isn't one of the craziest, most original, and unique comic books I read.

"Hurts being lied to, doesn't it? See you in hell, Waxman." Moon Knight is such a badass, I love him.

This comic goes incredibly HARD.

I'm sorry, but this is way too cool!

Tigra is an awesome character and this issue made me like her a lot. It also includes some cool twists, nice moments between Marc and Tigra, and beautiful artwork.

I'm really enjoying the therapy sessions and the twist at the end was amazing.

Another Redondo Masterclass.

I mean... Damn

Fantastic ending to a fantastic series. Make sure you read this.

A fantastic ending to the series With both House/Powers of X, Hickman has managed to create something truly special. From the story to the art, every aspect of this series was great. Hickman not only changed X-men forever, but he also saved it. I honestly can't wait to see what will come next. A must-read for every X-men fan.

"Bad Before Good" This was a really nice miniseries. A touching trip down memory lane with an insightful commentary (and sometimes poetic) by Peter that captures perfectly Gwen's role in Peter's life and how much she matters to him.

Wow, what a way to start the series. The first issue already deals with heavy themes like Facts vs Fiction that are super interesting in my opinion. Also, just like Mister Miracle, this issue creates a feeling of discomfort, making you question everything that you see which fits perfectly with what King is trying to do with this series. Combine all of this with Gerads and Shaner's absolutely beautiful art and you got yourself a hell of a first issue to start the series with. I'm so goddamn excited to see how this one will turn out.

Fun from start to end, I loved it.

A flawlessly executed first issue that is suspenseful, creepy, and clever. And that last page, what a way to end an issue!

Very similar in tone to the ending of "Chinatown". I thought this was the perfect conclusion to the story.

This is something special. The way Tynion shows us how the place works (aging, health, fabricating things, etc...) and contrasting it with the group experimenting how far their "newly" discovered regenerative powers can go, just to end it the way he did. Brilliant storytelling. The build-up and tension in this issue go crazy. Tynion definitely knows how to end an issue.

Did not expect to love this series as much as I did, but holy shit this is brilliant. Cycle Two day one, whenever it comes.

Sheesh, that ending. This series just keeps getting better and better.

This series feels like it was made for me. I love everything about it!

What an issue! It was such a joy to see all these characters sharing an evening, and that twist was brilliant! But most importantly, it felt earned. The entire issue had a weird vibe to it with Gwen calling multiple times and Peter just standing there, not saying a word, which made the twist hit even harder. Best ongoing series right now!

Incredible! The reveals here are so cool, I can't wait to see where Hickman takes this. So far, he hasn't missed once.

V's past is revealed and it's as dark as you'd expect it to be. V's turning out to be much more interesting and complex than I thought he would be. The more we see of him, the better.

That twist, man, completely caught me off-guard and that "Vertigo" chapter and the banana at the end. Genius. Just another brilliant issue, maybe the best one yet.

"HEH... YOU WANT IT? IT'S YOURS BUT THERE'S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW. IT'S NOT A SYMBIOTE... IT'S A COFFIN." So much fun, so emotional, JUST AMAZING!

One of the best comic book series I have ever read. A must read!

That ending!! my god I did not expect that

"But it cries out for your sin... Let it taste more". Sheesh, this was incredibly tough! Just like this incredible series.

Slott ends it with a bang.

"YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A BETTER LIFE THAN THIS, FELICIA. YOU'RE GOING TO BE HAPPY AND SAFE AND FREE. BUT IN THE MEANTIME... WE GIVE THE DEVIL HIS DUE" Much better than last issue. Story is going strong and I really enjoyed the spidey/cat parts. MJ sub plot was also pretty great, I hope we will get more of it. (Also, RIP Stan Lee)

"Ladies. Gentlemen. You have eaten well." Seeing Bruce learning his craft is really exciting. Miller's ability to script action scenes is almost unmatched and with Mazzucchelli bringing those scenes to life it's almost too good to be true. Amazing.

"I've got a friend coming who might be able to help. Should be here any minute." This - alongside "The Long Halloween" - is absolutely without a doubt my favourite Batman story. An old story told in a modern and refreshing way, no wonder it's as influential as it is. A must read.

Heartwarming and unique story about the relationship between bruce and alfred that will make you appreciate alfred even more.

Loved it! Tons of awesome moments in this and the art is on another level. The highlight of this VOL is definitely issue 23. It's not related to the main story, but damn it hit me hard.

Fantastic! The first three issues were really good and the story kept me interested throughout it all. Art was absolutely great and there's really nothing else to add. Definitely worth a read. After the third issue we get to "SUPERFRIENDS", a story about Superman and Batman and it was amazing. The best part about it was the reflection of Superman and Batman's friendship and how they view each other. I thought it was really good and it definitely made me smile. "SUPERFRIENDS" was probably my favorite part of this volume. Now, about the Annual. It was perfect. One of the best Batman stories King ever wrote. It was a touching story that every Batman fan should read. And while it's more different than your typical Batman story it's just too good to miss. Overall, this volume is probably my favorite one so far and you should definitely pick this up.

This issue was quick and brutal. I loved it.

"TO THIS URN LET THOSE REPAIR. THAT ARE EITHER TRUE OR FAIR." King's stories are starting to connect and it's so interesting. Art was great and this issue also reminded me how much I love Bruce and Alfred's relationship. I honestly can't wait to see what bane's big plan is. Recommended.

Damn, this issue was brutal. Finally, we get a really good issue, and what an issue it is. This issue is fast, brutal and packed with action from start to finish with a lot of awesome moments and great dialogue. And the art! Damn, it was magnificent. Yes, I'm aware there wasn't a lot of plot progression but I'm sure we'll get it in next issues, especially after that ending. I'm really excited to see where this is going and I can't wait for the next issue.

"The Fall and the Fallen" arc ends with a bang. In the finale of this arc, Bruce and Thomas make their way to the pit in order to resurrect Martha. With some twists and turns, amazing art that created a very atmospheric issue and served the more personal story well, we get a very interesting and intense issue that left me super excited for the next arc.

What an epic start to this arc. In this issue, we get to see Gotham under the control of Bane. Joker and Riddler taking on a homicide call, Hugo Strange is the commissioner and Batman is Thomas. Everything is different now and not only it is fun to read, but it also sets up the story amazingly well. On the other side of the story, we got Bruce, on a quest to find someone who is revealed at the end of the issue and has me super excited to see where this is going. Art, as usual for this series was amazing. Both Daniel and Gerad just draw some beautiful stuff. Not much else to say, it's damn good. Honestly, I couldn't ask for a better start for this arc. Can't wait to see how this will end.

This issue, just like last time, is a character issue that focuses on Bruce and Selina. Except that this time around it's more related to the main story as it gives us some answers we wanted to know and keeps to plot going, albeit in a slow pace (which I like because it's a much-needed break from all the action of the last issues). I'm going to say it again. I like the fact that we got an issue the focuses on Bruce and Selina because I think it's one of the most important aspects of King's run. I think this issue was necessary because not only it explores Bruce and Selina's relationship even more, it explains why they are even there. It ties in the interlude to the main story nicely. Oh, and don't even get me started on the art.

Man I missed Damian! I love him so much!

"Forgive me, father, for I have sinned." Characterisation is great, art is beautiful (especially action scenes) and Nobody is a perfect villain for the Bruce/Damian dynamic. A certified banger!

Hands-down the best Batman run I have ever read. Thank you, Grant.

Brilliant.

Surreal, atmospheric and symbolic . "Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth" is a psychological exploration of Batman's mind and an Horrific origin story of Arkham Asylum that is truly unique, captivating and original. If you want to read a Batman story like no other, read this.

This is a top-tier comic book.

"CAN I BE ROBIN NOW?" Snyder and Capullo most definitely delivered with this one. In this issue, we get more questions answered but also more question as to what is going on. It gives us what we wanted but still leaves us wanting more. Whatever Snyder has in store for us in the finale, I'm sure that as long as it is as good as this one, it'll end up as one of the best stories of this year. Just like last time, I can't get enough of the Joker, the dynamics between him and Batman are so much fun to read. I also found it to be a great balance as it serves as comedic relief in a rather dark story. And as usual, Capullo's art is a perfect match to what Snyder is trying to tell and I can't get enough of it.

"While in my gut the creature writhes and snarls and tells me what I need..."

What a shit day.

The way Brubaker writes the dialogue and DD's inner monologue is just something else man. The opener with the flashback about Matt's senses and especially his sense of smell was so damn good and the fight scene against Hammerhead and Matador was just incredible.

Hell of a way to start a run. I love the difference in tone compared to runs before it, it's refreshing. Also, Paolo Rivera's art is incredible. His interpretation of the radar sense is mind-blowingly good.

Brutal fight, drawn beautifully.

A satisfying ending to a two-year long story that ties up all the loose ends since the very first issue. Waid's careful planning and plotting combined with Samnee and Rivera's art (most of the time at least) have created one of the most satisfying and beautiful stories marvel has ever put. This is how you do a long overarching storyline, bravo!

That twist with Felicia, so good!

Love the way Waid shows how Matt struggles in a new environment. Love how Kirsten is more involved. Love the humour. Love how, just like the original run, there's already a big mystery brewing in the first issue and I love the ending as it seems to complicate things even further. This is going to be good.

Such a well-written story. The explanation of how Matt's identity became secret again is satisfying and makes a lot of sense, the parts with Kirsten were heartbreaking, the way Soule tied-up some of the earlier plot-points with Elektra was really well done and the conversation with Father Jordan was beautifully written. An incredible arc! This one was very important to me considering it is essentially undoes all that came before it, but if there's a way to do something like this, this is the way.

Wow the art here is incredible! Probably the best Garney did for this series. As for the story, it's simple yet extremely fun. Matt get's a letter from blindspot to come and help him in china where he's ambushed by The Hand, and Blindspot himself. Exciting.

The way Soule connected Blindspot origin story to the current story was beautiful and such a joy to read. Genuinely awesome story-telling (and twists) in this issue. Some powerful art from Garney here, he continues to be excellent.

I absolutely did not see any of it coming. The twist at the end was insane!

Matt Murdock as Mayor is super satisfying!

The more we see Spider-Man, the better!

As Matt prepares for his trial, he uses the time he has left to do some good as Daredevil. His plan with Iron Man and the entire interaction between them was a highlight in this issue. Nice to see Matt doing everything he can with the time he has left.

A quiet issue that sets up Devil's Reign but also has a lot of poignant moments and character growth. This part of Zdarsky's run has been utterly brilliant and if what's coming next is as good as this, then this just might become my favourite run of all time.

"The boy from Hell's Kitchen has come home".

Just amazing.

"YOU NEED WHAT I NEED... I NEED YOU TO SHUT THE HELL UP" Another great issue. This series keeps delivering the goods. This time the issue is more action oriented and I absolutely loved it. We get to see Batman escape some old school and impossible trap like it's from Adam West's Batman show and I've got to say I really liked it. I also really liked the writing in the issue, especially how Tomasi handled Batman's thought process when he tries to figure out how to escape. The art, as usual, is fantastic. I just love the way Mahnke draws Batman. Overall, this was a fantastic issue and you should definitely pick it up.

God, Checchetto's art is good. This issue was amazing. Seems like all the build-up from Daredevil is about to pay off.

So many great moments in here: Spider-Man and Taskmaster's fight. Richard and Sue's kiss. Elektra's secret and the build-up to the fight with Kraven. Fisk using The Purple Man's powers to fix the election. Luke Cage running for mayor. The cliffhanger with Otto. I have pretty much highlighted everything that happened in this issue and I didn't even talk about Checchetto's insane art. So yeah, this was great.

The chameleon twist was crazy and then that cliffhanger too? Damn, this event has been living up to expectations so far.

This is so damn good! that ending... holy hell, shit's about to explode. And Marco Checchettto... man, this guy is talented!

Can Marco Checchetto draw everything please? This was another amazing chapter. The story progresses in an interesting and fast way, lots of crazy twists and cliffhangers, lots of action. It's all so much fun and the way Zdarsky ties it up with his Daredevil run is just the cherry on top.

What a beautiful issue. This time around, we get an issue that gives us a lot of needed information. The whole resurrection process was so carefully detailed and interesting. Pretty much the highlight of the issue for me. After that, we get some more information about mutant diplomacy, and by the end, it looks like all mutants are finally united. All of it connects so nicely to what we've seen in past issues. It amazes me every time. All of this wouldn't work as well without the beautiful art from Larraz. Fantastic work from him.

This is so good! The artwork at display here is some of the best I've ever seen and then the way King writes those character interactions is so satisfying. Both Fire and Chance pretending and dancing around each other trying to achieve their goals is so Intense and mesmerising. Really well done.

"You're crazy." "That's been said." "Also, I hate to be the one to point this out, but wearing a white suit... he's kinda going to see you coming." "That's the part I like."

Umbrella.

That's so f***** cool.

This issue pulls you in right from the start, up until the end. With more action than before, Amazing art and a great ending. We get an intense issue that sets up the next issue of House of X amazingly well.

Everything we knew about adam was a lie. His victory on rann wasn't much of a victory. It was a deal. Trying to cover it up only made it worse, it only led to more lies and now, it's time to face the consequences of those lies. Adam is the villain. Or is he? can you really blame him for wanting to save his wife's planet, her home? There's more to it than meets the eye. After all, war is never that simple. This is great!

After discovering the truth from Mr. Terrific, Alanna confronts Adam about it. The issue itself is split into two. On Rann, we see how the war has ended and Adam and Alanna's loving relationship meanwhile on Earth, we see them argue as their marriage falls apart. The difference between both timelines helps to show how heartbreaking this situation really is. We see Adam desperately trying to make this all work out, justifying his actions, thinking himself a hero, not realising what he did was sacrifice earth for the people he loves which is understandable, but not something you can say is heroic. Tom King shatters Adam Strange's heroic image, revealing him to be a fraud who cares only for the people close to him. However, it's not presented in a black and white way because, ultimately, nothing in real life is black and white. Especially war.

An outstanding ending to an outstanding series. Right from the start this series was complex and thought-provoking and it continued to be so right until the end. The story was engaging, unpredictable, violent, tragic, heartwarming and human. The characters were well written and their motives always made sense, they felt like real people and not like characters in a story. Then you have the art. This series wouldn't be what it is without the incredible artwork of both Gerards and Shaner, creating a distinct look for both the present and the past that served the story of each timeline really well. When all things considered, this was a great series about war and the effects of war that you don't want to miss.

Incredible. This was some great investigative journalism story with a lot of interesting character interactions. This issue reminds me of issue number four where there isn't any action, yet it's still very gripping.

Man, this is incredible! The action scenes, the humor, the conversations between Peter and MJ/Ben, and the plot that keeps getting more and more complex, are all so good. Hickman's characterization of every character is on point and it's just so much fun reading all those interactions. Each issue genuinely blows me away. I also have to give it to Messina. When he first came into the series, I didn't really like his art, but now, I'm actually really enjoying it. I can now confidently say that in my opinion, this is the best ongoing series right now.

This was an extremely fun read.

"Oh Peter... Isn't it obvious? You're Spider-Man."

The issue starts with V's broadcast which was absolutely brilliant and so well written. The way Moore makes a point by making it seem like a regular conversation between two people is just so good. This broadcast really reminded me of the conversation between V and Madam Justice. After that, we get to see what Evey has been up to since V left her and I really liked it. It shows us how dark the world of the story really is. Already Halfway through the story and so far I'm loving it!

Hard-hitting issue. The issue starts with Evey finding out that Gordon was killed and I really like how so much was conveyed without any words whatsoever. Really makes you feel the loneliness of the situation. Evey than decides to take revenge but gets caught. While unconscious, Evey dreams about what seems to be a twisted reflection of her life. After she wakes up an interrogation about her possible connections with V begins. Meanwhile, she finds a letter from someone named Valerie. The letter is a biography of Valerie's life. That part was really emotional and hard-hitting. It was so sad yet ended up in a somewhat hopeful way, it was really well done. All things considered, this was one of the better issues we had so far and at this point I'm completely in love with this series.

Another fantastic issue. This series keeps delivering good stuff.

Another masterclass from Snyder. The action scenes in this comic are so badass! It's genuinely so cool!! As for the story, it comes along very nicely so far. The pacing is great and we get a lot of exciting information about the story and this new world. I also really like how Harvey, Oz, Wilson and Nygma basically serve as Bruce's information network. It's awesome.

beautiful art and interesting story. I hope the next issue will be as good as this one.

well, it's been a year since Spencer took over this title and I've got to say it's been pretty good so far. This issue has it all and it's probably my favorite so far, everyone is at their best in this and it's so much fun to read. Let's hope for another good year like this.

Best issue so far.
