What an ending for Stern’s legendary run. Can’t believe this saga ends without the Hobgoblin reveal. Now that’s it all said and done I think I can comfortably say the Roger Stern run is better than Gerry Conway’s: 1: Stan Lee 2: Roger Stern 3: Gerry Conway 4: Len Wein 5: Marv Wolfman 6: Denny O’Neil Sterns run was amazing but ultimately just didn’t have the longevity that Stan Lee’s did.

Another solid twist. Hid Thunderball all issue, really had me thinking he was Hobgoblin

Would be 10/10 if based on just that 2nd half

Cloak and Dagger seem to be pretty one dimensional in there early appearances. But other than that, what a well balanced issue.

I can definitely see why Roger Stern’s run is so universally loved. He writes Peter Parker so well- I enjoy the parts of the comic just about his daily life then about his battles with the villains. Haven’t been able to say that since Conway was writing, if not Stan Lee. JRJR with some career defining art the last couple issues as well

Prime JRJR. And prime MJ…

This is an all time great Spidey story for sure

This series has been lights out last couple issues

Pretty horrible story and inconsistent art

Story was rushed cause of the Aunt May backup but Moon Knight definitely gave this series a breath of fresh air

The stuff with pinky the neighbor was funny but there was too little of it to sage Denny O’Neil from going out on a dud. O’Neil run was extremely hard to get through at times. 1. Lee 2. Conway 3. Len Wein 4. Wolfman 5. Denny O’Neil

Such a sad ending…

The scene with the TAs was actually pretty funny. Deb finally doesn’t get ditched

I don’t want to be that guy that bashes all politics in comics and political-driven issues. There are many comic runs were i actually enjoyed the political elements and how they enhanced the story (Morrison’s Animal Man, Nocenti’s Daredevil). There are also many, more modern comic runs where the political elements can negatively effect the story (Wilson’s 2nd run on Ms Marvel + a ton of recent comic runs I don’t waste my time to read). Unfortunately, Spectacular Spider Man 71 falls into the latter category

Wouldve never thought Hydro-Man was introduced this late

Amazing story and art. Although I think it would make a ton more sense if KJ Clayton was Madame Web herself. I have a feeling that’s what Marv Wolfman originally intended to do with Clayton, as there was that ending in one of his issues of Bushkin saying Clayton was right about there being more to Peter Parker than meets the eye

Really enjoying this. I don’t love the concept of the whole multiverse is contingent on just 1 Earth but it’s whatever. Theres enough good interactions between Barry, Bart, and Patty to make up for it. Not sure how I’ve never read a comic with Manapul art before this series but he is really good as well

Art is a big downgrade here, Kolins is usually much better. Maybe it’s a different colorist or something. Not sure how I feel about the ending here

 Flashpoint: Reverse-Flash #1 Jan 2, 2024

Art is amazing, I’ve always been a big Acuna guy. The status quo for this comic has kinda gone off the rails. Last issue the twins were infants and now they are aged 8-10 years old. I know Bart had a short run and Infinite crisis in between so it’s been some time in-universe wise but constantly aging legacy characters like Bart and the twins really takes away from them and seems like lazy writing.

This was good. I still think Barry shouldve stayed dead but it is what it is and this was a good story nonetheless. In my opinion DC fucked up almost everything Flash related after Johns last issue in Flash 225 (Bart dying and coming back immediately, Wally having kids and them being aged up immediately, the Wests disappearing for a year, etc). This was a step in the right direction

A plot twist late in this book has a chance to salvage this arc. Wasn’t looking too good before. We’ll see if Vandal can make this more interesting or not.

Some solid art wasted with this story. Dialogue is atrocious

Doesn’t get much worse than this arc

It’s finally all coming together…Johns has done wonders with the Rogues during his run, so much so that Wally barely even appeared this issue and it was still amazing

Barry and Wally v Professor Zoom and Zoom…

Great ending to a great run. Would be a 10 but didn’t like how the twins were saved like that it felt too predictable and easy. Cant decide whether this run is better than Waid’s or not. Waid told some great stories but all his plots were time travel or alt universes. It’s easy to tell a great story when you can use all of the multiverse at your disposal but Johns told some great stories that were built off continuity. I will say Johns run was more consistent while Waid’s had higher highs with way lower lows

I get filler is necessary and always gonna be a thing but seriously wtf was this😭😭. Incoherent story, random characters, and Immonen completely ignored Wally’s secret identity. Art was not anything special

Johns is on a roll with so many interesting different plot lines

Might be a little overly edgy. Still pretty solid

Great prologue issue

After so many issues of lead up the payoff has been satisfying so far

Sad that people genuinely think we only use 10% of our brains

I’m way more interested in the rogues and goldface plot. Easy 10/10 issue without all the Thinker stuff

Wally is so nerfed in Johns’ run compared to when Waid and Millar were writing but honestly that might be for the better. This has been a really good arc but it could’ve been an all timer if more focused on Goldface and the Rogues rather than the Thinker

“Keystone’s a Union town”

Scott Kolins is missed but this was a great issue. I wish they showed the actual dinner though. Any appearance of Wally’s grandpa is appreciated. The Fred-Iris friendship was pretty funny lmao. Morillo’s wife is excessively mentioned like every single issue, I’m guessing she’s either a known character or he’s a closeted gay man with a husband or something like that

Johns excels at these build up issues

The ol’ trapped in an alt reality bit has been so so many times. Captain Cold makes it more enjoyable

This is starting to get off the rails. I can tell I am going to despise this whole everyone forgets about Linda arc more and more the longer it goes on. Art is still bad

Worst issue of Waid’s run so far. At least it seems this is Pop Khan’s last issue

Not a fan of all this Cobalt Blue madness but having Jay, Max, Jesse, and Bart all apart of the action again sure is nice

I still think the all the Covalt Blue plot is lazy writing but I think Waid was using it as a clever excuse to throw these characters into a time travel adventure. Can’t blame him cause it’s been enjoyable so far

“Horizontally challenged” haha

Pretty well done plot twist

I haven’t been the biggest fan of this storyline up to this point but I have to admit that this was insanely epic

Insanely epic. Don’t know why Wally just didn’t save Barry as his first idea tho. But the whole premise of this arc his been pretty weak in order to cook up some awesome scenarios

Pretty solid fair. Always thought Wally’s parents get unnecessary hate

Perfect issue. Jay, Max, and Jesse all convinced Bart is talking about a video game was hilarious. I wonder how he remembers Linda but no one else. Waid has done such a good jobs with Jay, Max, Bart, and Jesse that this series continues to excel even when Wally didn’t appear all issue

All the momentum from last issue is gone for me. Cant take the entire issue serious because I know it won’t stick. Art is still bad. I like how Millar rights Max and Jesse but I just can’t wait for this arc to end just cause I know it won’t stick

I enjoyed the Morrison and Millar run but it went out with a whimper here. Art is horrendous

Haha I should’ve known it was too good to be true. Pop Mhan is horrible. Love the part how Linda motivates Bart

New artist isn’t as good as Humberto Ramos. Story was alright but got better with the plot twist at the end

Damn. Poor Max

Crazy tearjerker. The goodbye at school, last hug with Max…

The usual nice crisp art and a chill funny story by Waid. Pretty enjoyable and some cute moments

Woah this was interesting, didn’t see this coming. It started off slow but J’onn had an awesome appearance and that last panel will stick with me for a while. JH Williams with some great art bumps this review score up a little

Johnny nooo

Art is pretty bad but sad to see the cousins split

Awesome start to this arc, already has an epic feel and Jimenez provides great art

Savitar’s origin is much better here than in the tv show

Pretty good issue, but as the latest installment of one of Waid’s core Flash arcs it is slightly underwhelming. So far Dead Heat doesn’t lay a hand on Return of Barry Allen or Terminal Velocity

Bart’s assistant principal is awesome. The cut to the scene of Max in that power walking club was genuinely hilarious. I love this art too

Hilarious, very well done by Waid and Ramos

Damn this was good. Bart starting to become very likeable and Waid has me hooked with Wally’s paranoia of the future

Terminal velocity has been great so far. Cant get enough of it

Fantastic origin of Max Mercury. Love the end too

Might just be the best issue of Waid’s run so far.

Holy shit

Epic

Amazing art and great character work

After the craziness of terminal velocity im really liking these slower paced but still meaningful issues

My one complaint is the way Linda is acting is completely unjustified, I really don’t think Wally has changed as much as she keeps saying

Art was ok, ending felt a little too easy

Simple yet powerful issue.

Waid writing this as a fictional biography was so clever

Insane issue. Bad last couple issues but Im so glad this run acknowledged Blindspot and gave him purpose

Insane art

Great run. The first 20 issues were phenomenal, but especially these last 14 werent as much. Not quite Miller or Bendis level, but I’d comfortably put Zdarsky’s Daredevil run between Waid’s and Nocenti’s.

First off, let me say the retcon is fkin horrible. I’ll give Zdarsky the benefit of the doubt to fix this down the line but right now just thinking about the Goldy character just angers me. On the other hand, the art was phenomenal, and the scene at the end with Kirsten was touching

Damn, I was hoping that Fisk had killed the Stromwyns. Maybe they were only injured or maybe the Hand brought them back. But this was the best issue of the relaunch so far. The less Goldy the better

Masterpiece

Everything is 10/10 about this issue. Checchetto is the man

I still hate the concept of Goldman but arriving else was on point. Even just the mention of Bullet’s son makes me happy, hes truly one of the forgotten gems of Nocenti’s Daredevil run. The art during the Iron Man vs Elektra battle was so good

If the goat Lance ends up dying I’m going to lose it

I like what another reviewer said about this series turning into Jerry Rice on the Seahawks. I think that’s a good way to sum it up. The art is still amazing but this whole issue has been lazy and cramped with way too much. Totally devoid of all the small stuff that made the first half of Zdarsky’s run so good. All the characters are just so lifeless. Theres horrible retcons like Goldy and characters not acting themselves like Frank and unnecessary background plots like the Avengers hunting Daredevil. This issue still carries a lot of momentum from past issues and the art is great so still a 7/10 but easily the worst issue of Zdarsky’s run so far, and I hope I’m wrong but it doesn’t like promising that it will get better

This is going off the rails, fast. So much happens and we have so little time to process it. Stick and Foggy have been dead for a long time now and were agents of the Hand but before Matt and the reader can deal with that the Avengers attack the island, which is insanely unrealistic for these characters, especially using the recid. Was hoping that the Goldy storyline would be wrapped up and have a satisfying explanation by now but no. I’m convinced the reviewers giving this issue a 10 are just remembering how good this series used to be and convincing themselves this is still just as good.

Checchetto x Spider Man boosts this issues rating for sure even though I definitely still have my doubts about the direction of the story.

The difference in quality between the writing in the start of Zdarsky’s run to this is massive.

Zdarsky writes such a good Spider Man every time. Really hope he gets his own run on ASM one day. Also, I had no idea Stick was still alive. Everything about this issue was great except for the Kirsten/Robert Goldman scene which confused me

One of Zdarsky’s finest issues writing Elektra. Cant wait for what comes next

Mostly just a set up issue but man those last 2 pages were good

RIP Mike

Fisk betraying the Stromwyns was a long time coming. Glad he gave Wesley his flowers as well. Super satisfying conclusion. Again, the scene of Wilson attacking the Stromwyns with his son was brilliant.

 Devil's Reign (2021): Omega Dec 2, 2023

One of the better Devil’s Reign tie ins.

Good art, solid tie in issue. Actually feels like it adds something to the overall story which I cant say the same about too many Devils Reign tie ins

Art is so beautiful and story progresses nicely

Best issue of the tie in yet I think. The Purple Man and Otto making up for this lifeless version of Kingpin.

Great art, cool story

Not worth it. So boring and pointless

The Otto Man-Thing was cool but that’s about it

Another tie-in that has nothing to do with the actual event

Pretty pointless tie-in for the non-USAgent superfan

Phil Noto supremacy. Hoping for more flashbacks in the rest of the series

Peter and Elektra steal the show

Another useless tie-in. Pointless retcons and flashbacks

If they made Checchetto the regular artist on Amazing Spider Man one day I’d have no doubt hed go down as one of the greats. Great character work here. Love the ending with Mike’s return

 Daredevil (2019) #28 Nov 26, 2023

One of the best issues of the series yet as Zdarsky juggles and nurtures 4 different storylines about these characters. Cant wait to see how this develops and ultimately comes together

Another classic, my one wish is its obvious that Matt is not gonna serve his full 2 years, so why are we supposed to car about what he’s up to in prison?

Daredevil making the warden scream for help…chills. One of the best moments of this run so far

Matt’s story needs a change up as soon as possible. How many more issues are we expected to be engaged in the same prison fights issue after issue. Cant believe I’m saying this but I’m starting to enjoy Mike’s plot (a character who is based upon everything wrong with comics) more than Matt and Elektra’s

Extra points for the Checchetto art, but I think the stretches of straight 10s for this series are over. Seems like the reader is expected to be overly sympathetic for every single main character: Matt, Elektra, Alice, Cole…but even Fisk, Mary, Izzy, Butch, Mike…literally everyone. Hard to put into words but it just feels weird and forced. Interesting last page to this issue, but I have a feeling it will lead to something I don’t really care about and resolved within 1-2 issues. I know this sounds like a negative review yet im giving an 8.5, but compared to the constant 10s that this series was producing it is relatively a mediocre issue.

Unfortunately this wasn’t what it used to be. Art is good, but it’s awful at some points, especially the close up of Fisk’s face. The slow pace that once was this book’s greatest ally is now its worst quality. What made the first 20 or so issues of this run so perfect were how grounded it was. Now there are clones everywhere and stuff like re-cid. Still a decent enough issue but frustrating that I was once giving this series constant 10s and comparing it to the Bendis and Miller runs.

More meh. Starting to drag. So much promise just 8-12ish issues ago. Grounded, crime series turning to just like all the other comics Marvel publishs with all the clones and unrealistic chemicals like the prison recid

Solid set up here. Cautiously optimistic for Devil’s Reign, frustrating cause I know it can be good as the first ~25 issues of this series but I doubt it will due to the recent drop off in quality

I’m a little hesitant to give this such a high review because of my hate for retcons, but Zdarsky pulled this off in the best way possible for a retcon I guess. Interested to see where this goes but I just hate the whole idea of Mike Murdock in general

Another easy 10

Checchetto is back!

The fact that I even felt bad for Fisk when they were making fun of him at dinner shows how good the writing here is.

Wesley with an all time great “I’m him” moment

I highly highly doubt this will end well for the Stromwyns…

So good

Was about to comment on how it’s stupid writing for Elektra not to remember Daredevil’s identity even though she’s slept with Matt before. Was also gonna comment how Elektra has been quiet and underdeveloped so far. But then that last page invalidated everything I had to say lmao

Fornes art is so good, truly Aja-esque.

The stromwyns are not as smart as they seem. There is no way this ends well for them…

Insanity. Zdarsky is giving Bendis and Miller a run for their titles of best DD writer. Hes already far surpassed Soule, Nocenti, and Brubaker in my eyes and probably Waid too, and I’m not even halfway done with this run…

Not much too say without sounding like a broken recording

Gonna be interesting to see how Zdarsky writes these next couple. Obviously Matt is gonna serve his time for his crime but I doubt Chip will go down the road of having DD’s identity public again so soon after Bendis and Waid did it.

One of the best comics I’ve read in a long long time. This is everything Daredevil should be. Checchetto and the art team blew my mind with some of the most detailed art I’ve seen. Caught myself just staring and noticing tons of detailed backgrounds after reading a page multiple times. Story was phenomenal as well. So excited for the coming issues

Just as good as issue 1. Can’t get enough. You won’t regret reading this

Keeps getting better and better. Everything about this comic was perfect and exceptional

Another classic. Great last page, Marvel would never allow it in this day and age

This is why me and thousands of people love DD. One of the most grounded characters in all of Marvel and DC and never is that more on display than this issue

Not the same without Checchetto but still a crazy good issue.

A lot of people see a slow pace as a negative thing but when done right with this much detail it’s perfect

Goosebumps

Whole issue he wonders if it’s ok in God’s eyes to be Daredevil then doesn’t blink an eye to phuck the married librarian😭😭

Pretty cool issue, but this kind of introspective/war within himself has been done in DD comics many times before, we’ll have to see how this series sets itself apart

Such a good issue. Good to see Kirsten back. Glad they are taking there time with Matt’s recovery, instead of just magically healing him up for Zdarksy’s run

Another outstanding issue

The overall story doesn’t advance at all. I feel like this couldve been done in half in issue

Great ending to a great run. Cant believe it took me this long to get around to it. Nocenti writes a great Wilson Fisk. I wonder if Chichester’s run did Nocenti’s set up justice. Glad we got to see Bullet and his kid again

Cool first issue. Excited to see what this leads too.

Banner and Frank Castle such an underrated duo😂

Ahead of its time. Nocenti one of the rare writers who Ive read that can actually push social agendas like this in her comics and not decrease the quality of the comic. Art was on point as usual with Romita

This doesn’t read like a traditional Daredevil storyline, last couple issues have felt more like a Wolverine comic. That’s not a bad thing at all, but that’s probably why the other reviews have tended to be lower. I like it tho

 Daredevil (1964) #273 Nov 22, 2023

Slow issue, just setting up for 275

Most heroes wouldve just stuck around cause thats what happens in comics, but Nocenti does a great job staying true to Daredevil’s character as he contemplates whether to leave or not. Nocenti also gives a unique and interesting take on Ultron. Unfortunately, the farmer and Number 9 story has gotten boring and the Inhumans stuff is even more boring. Ultron saves this issue from a bad review

Story was ok, but this was truly John Romita Jr’s finest hour as DD artist so far. Interesting ending as well, wonder if that ever got picked up anywhere

Nocenti sure loves her Christmas issues😭😭

Getting good

Pretty intense issue. Not your traditional Daredevil story but this is up there with some of the best

That part with Zoe at dinner is just so eye roll inducing as well. Sad to see the decline in quality of this run.

Like another reviewer said, this comic is more about the writer expressing her opinions rather than anything to do with the characters. Normally I wouldn’t mind/notice that much but comparing this series to the 2014 Ms Marvel series is night and day.

How does a comic like this actually get published. Everyone who is already going to vote is still going to vote after reading this, and everyone not planning to vote is probably even more convinced not to vote after this issue

Civil War II is a dumpster fire

Liked this artist a lot more

Civil War 2 is the worst

Just can’t take any of this that seriously

Wilson’s message of this issue is so extremely forced. The writer shouldn’t have to shove her message in her face, the reader should be able to figure it out while reading. Just not good writing at all. Still enough momentum from previous issues to keep this decent.

Really not loving this artist. Captain Marvel is the worst, glad Tyesha is talking sense into Kamala

This was a good issue, but all 19 issues of the series that precedes this one were flawless 10/10s

Art is meh. 2nd half of this issue saves it for me with a fast pace and last second twist. Aamir really a top tier character

Still a good issue but this arc was an insane downgrade from the last series. Everything feels so forced and the art was meh

Perfect balance of Kamala’s superheroing and personal life. And the art is back to perfect too. Hope Nico Leon stays on as long as possible

Love the way this issue told Goliath and Hawkeye’s stories at once

Another really good one. Stan was really hitting his stride near the end of his run

Most of this issue was buildup. Love how Stan developed Hawkeye. So crazy that Black Widow didn’t originally have red hair

Disappointing issue

I’m such a sucker for these. Marc Silvestri is a legend

I’ve read a lot of comics, and NEVER have I read one like this. Say what you will about the story and writing of this comic, but the art is divine. Really awesome comic overall, definitely one that deserves a reread, and I’m never one to reread a comic

I’ve seen Squadron Supreme described as if Roy Thomas wrote Watchmen. Perfect way to describe it

Best issue yet. Doctor Spectrum is shown as a complex character in just 1 issue. Very impressive writing

 Squadron Supreme (1985) #11 Jan 9, 2023

I’ll start with what I liked it. I’m trying really hard not to over exaggerate rn but I really want to declare that the Allreds are my favorite comic artists ever. Besides that, love how Milligan remembered Katie, who was introduced back during his original X-Statix run. But besides that, I hate all the retcons. Terrible. So so many retcons. Marvel needs to let characters stay dead

Heard that this was quite possibly the best Justice League story ever. 1 issue through, I can see the hype

Poor Tom, Nuke was really a dickhead even considering the circumstances

What in the world did I just read. The last page is so absolutely absurd that I’ll give this issue a 4.5 but up until then the story was overly confusing while being overly nothing at the same time. Lafuente’s art didn’t do this any favors

Huge return to form for this series.

Watching Tike get beat was so satisfying

 X-Statix (2002) #25 Jan 7, 2023

Shocking ending. This is why Allred is a top tier comic artist ever. Never quite read a series like this

Not sure how much I liked this. Dead Girl only briefly appears on the last page. Way more of a Dr Strange story. The story ifself is better if u don’t think to hard about it

Milligan tends to take it kinda far with the race stuff, but otherwise I love how he just writes whatever tf he wants to😂. This isn’t that good but random shit like Gwen Stacy and Mockingbirds afterlife bookclub make it good enough for 6/10

Starts off slow but picks up at the end. The art is again a highlight. Interesting that Guy is only interested in finding Edie in the afterlife with no mention of Venus. Proves he never really got over her in X-Statix

Best issue yet

Pretty disappointing end to this. Wish the Pitiful One ended up being the main villain instead of the Ancient One. Downright boring conclusion, this issue would be rated in the red if it weren’t for the art. Overall this series wasn’t too bad but probably wasn’t worth the time to read it

Such a great issue. So much better when Byrne tells an issue in more than 1 issue: the pace can be slower, less wordy so the art can take a more center stage, and more character moments besides all the fighting.

Aunt Petunia is real no way😭😭😭😭😭

Expected way better but still great

Hate how nobody seems to recognize Ben at first when he’s barely drawn any different from before Reed tried to change him back

Despite the plot holes and continuity errors right out the gate, Darwin Cooke comes through with some classic art

Again, I love the art and Pulido’s style. That’s pretty much all I can say, the story itself is eh

This story is not worthy of Javier Pulido

 The Shade (2011) #8 Dec 26, 2022

The art carries once again, this time Frazer Irving

Frazer Irving’s beautiful art of the Egyptian deities salvage some absolutely incredibly lazy writing by James Robinson. Darnell and Dudley and supposed to be of the same generation yet Darnell was in his late 90s and Dudley is in his 40s. Doesn’t make sense at all. Also the obvious plot twist of having The Shade trick St Aubrey into return the power to the Egyptians

First off, this comic is pure eye candy. Unfortunately, gone is the complex character that was The Shade during Robinson’s Starman run. Pretty uninteresting story as well

Should be a crime that Gene Ha’s talents were wasted on this

Great end to one of the best comics ever

Excited to be back in the world of Opal City. Doesn’t hit the same as Robinson’s Starman, but that’s to be expected.

At the end of this issue, The Mist injects Jack with a needle. This event was foretold by Charity in like issue 5 when she first met Jack, which was over 70 issues ago. 70. Insane writing, still can’t believe this is a real comic. Love it

Props to Snejbjerg, I was shitting on his art during the space issues but ever since then his art has been amazing. Robinson’s love for continuity is unmatched
10
 Starman (1994) #79 Dec 24, 2022

Don’t care much for this issue, but Craig Hamilton’s art is much better than Snejberg’s

Wasn’t expecting this to be as good as it was

One of the best issues I can remember. Decent progression in every subplot, plenty of shocking moments, and Sadowski knocks it out of the park on art duties. Robinson has been setting up this issue for a longgg time

Love the connection to Gavyn that Robinson set up in an issue wayyy back. Everything with Jarko makes me genuinely laugh while reading these past couple issues😭😭

Everything about this series is just slightly less quality when Snejbjerg is the artist. His art isn’t awful but it just changes the entire tone of the book completely

Hate the retcons. Should’ve kept Gavyn dead his story was already perfect

Glad this space saga is over. Lasted way too long

The return of Adam Strange was one of the best moments of the whole book I can’t explain why. All around amazing issue. All the buildup is paying off. Bobo coming back at the end, the inner monologue’s of all Culp’s henchmen, Ted and Dr Phosphorus, and Ralph tracking down Hamilton Drew?!?! Are you kidding me. Easy 10/10

So so good. Every issue that seemed like “filler” was all buildup to the Grand Guignol, all the pieces being put into place for James Robinson’s masterpiece

Sue‘s abilities are extremely powerful in this issue, which is a rarity. Pretty cool last page

Classic espionage tale with a bunch of twists and turns. This is the most OP Sue I’ve ever read

Aidan is really the worst

So Aidan is just a killing machine for all these years and he just randomly decides to spare Maria’s life? This was a good issue but a writer of Mark Waid’s caliber can definitely do better than a glaring plot hole like that. Mattia de lulis was great as usual

Tries to be a touching deep issue, definitely doesn’t hit the way Lobdell intended

Such a pointless issue

Lot to like here. The page of Logan killing Magneto is classic. Pleasantly surprised that none of Jean’s X-Men stuck around, would’ve been such a cliche if they stayed.

The explanation for Johnny losing his powers is terrible. Liked the parts with the FF field trip

Loved the return of the backup FF, and this was really not how I saw this issue ending

First off, all the various artists did a great job. As long as this issue was, it just felt like 1 long way to write off the Future Foundation kids, which I really hope isn’t the case. Toliver the lawyer made some interesting points, but this issue just seemed all so unnecessary

Deadpool really drags this issue down, as he does with most of his cameo appearances

No way😂😂😂

Art is truly amazing, especially on the last page. I’m starting to really like Snapper. The story is all starting to come together, although Modok and the Shaman at the end was so confusing. Should’ve read this years ago

Even if the plot barely moves this issue, the art more than makes Secret Avengers 10 worth the read

This series is just madness and craziness for all the right reasons

Walsh’s art is perfect.

Probably the weakest issue yet

Pretty stupid issue. Way too quippy for its own good

Don’t know how I feel about this ending. This series lost a ton of steam these last 3 issues.

This was seriously great

Coulson and Fury discussing which way to die is hilarious

Best issue yet. Cant believe I put off reading this for so many years

A little confusing, but MODOK and Maria Hill is such a great combo

Lot going on but I like it

Loved the interaction between Ororo and Kurt. This is classic Claremont stuff right here

Love the way Logan Ororo and Kurt are written. Not too impressive with The Fury though

Overpowered villain with such a overdramatic and confusing conclusion to the arc

Awesome cover

4 different artists in one issue…all 4 used perfectly

This is actually insane

Speechless, so so good

Wow

Shalvey’s art is brilliant, and Ellis knows it, as it seems he perfectly plotted this issue to allow the art to shine when Moon Knight started dreaming. Like the one part stories, doesn’t happen to often with Marvel or DC, much less done well like this

Simple and awesome issue. That ending was insane

A true classic, thrilling issue. Amazed to see what Ellis and Shalvey could put together in just 1 single issue

Trippy

Super quick and light read. I liked it. Loved the difference between Moon Knight’s super light design and the darkness of the rest of the art

Cool little short and self contained issue, nothing to rave about though

Pretty funny phone call between Carol Danvers and Maya. Bendis’ minimalistic writing and Maleev’s grim and fierce fight scenes perfectly compliment each other in Moon Knight 4

Another great one. Street level is where Bendis excels

The kingpin of LA disintegrating the Night Shift was pretty shocking but not really anything progresses with Marc as he just talks to the real Avengers the whole time

Another solid one

This definitely felt like a filler issue

Really starting to pick up now. Loved the inner conflict between Marc’s 3 voices in his head

Really surprised that Maya is actually dead. Seems like Buck might be next.

Cant wait to read the last issue. Buck Lime steals the show

This was a cool series. Loved Bendis’ unique take on Marc and the side characters like Buck and Maya shined. LA instead of somewhere like New York was cool too. Alex Maleev’s art is so gritty and fits perfectly. Too bad Age of Ultron sucked. It’s been so long since I read it that I can’t remember if Nefaria’s ultimate goal was ever revealed or not

Very cool first issue. Unique and frightening villain and Shalvey’s art, especially near the end, is wonderful

Intriguing first issue. I love that last page twist and Bendis + Maleev are a great duo when it comes to crime/street level superhero stories

Thought Bendis would force Echo into the story but no. Its great, really

Another amazing issue. This run is surpassing my expectations by a long shot after the first 3 issues

Pretty creative powers for the Twins

Great balance of action, character development, and plot advancement

Loved the old style of art

Latorre does a great job for a guest artist. There’s no flaws in this issue but nothing that makes it stand out enough for it to be higher than an 8

Phenomenal first issue, art is amazing

Peak storytelling right here. 10/10 art, intriguing mystery, and I love the Clint and Bucky team up

Whole issue is eye candy. Loved the reveal of the villains

No way…

Wow this was a lot, especially for an opening arc. In 5 issues (closer to 4 actually), Thompson introduced Nat’s fiancé and son, faked their deaths, revealed that they are still alive, and wrote in an explanation for why they will probably be mentioned in a Marvel comic again. The art was perfect and I loved the action, but it just feels kinda cheap knowing that Stevie and James will never be mentioned again, it takes away a lot from the emotional scenes in this issue

Magneto Loki and Doom all on one page 🤤🤤. Surprisingly liked Verity in this issue

What an issue. The first pov for the Bogeyman was a nice touch

Another disturbing tale

Its all starting to come together

Beautiful interesting and tragic all at once

Phenomenal

Another 10 out of 10. This whole issue has an undeniably epic feel to it and I was just in disbelief, I knew this arc was an instant classic before I even finished this issue

One of the best comics I’ve ever read. Easy 10 no hesitation

Abby just deserves a break😭😭

The Parliament of Trees’ warning is coming to fruition. I like the Floronic Man cameo, and the reveals of Lex Luthor and Batman were perfectly written

Oh man another phenomenal one. Luthor’s cameo was chilling, and after a lot of issues that continuously expand Swamp Thing’s power, it was crazy to see him destroyed in the final pages after his victory in freeing Abby. It was cool to see characters like Chester and Wallace Monroe again too

Wish we got more of an explanation for Dennis’ turn to insanity

Obvious filler with sub par substitute art

So much filler for so many issues. Ghost Rider got nerfed hard

Art and story wise, this is everything what a Dr Strange story should be

Savage Avengers 24 more than makes up for what seemed like endless filler. This was insane

The art is absolutely awful even for a fill in artist. The faces just look so stupid. The story itself is great though. Lobdell packed the Paige-Jon scenes with so much emotion. Loved the way Paige responded to him in the attic. With Bachalo art this couldve easily been in the 8.5-9 range. Just look at the way Mitch Byrd drew Husk and Synch’s faces.

Art was as bad as it gets. Not just an a visual level, but on a common sense level too. Multiple panels where there are no stars in space. I rarely get frustrated at fictional characters but Carol is just so annoying here

Cannonball was way overpowered this issue, and the fight between him and Gladiator was revealed to be essentially meaningless by the end of the issue. As a fan of Rogue and Gambit, that scene between Rogue and Joseph at the World Trade Center was rough to read, and I’m sure that was exactly Lobdell’s intention with that scene. The good really outweighs the bad here

 Silver Surfer (2016) #12 Jan 4, 2022

That was so so sad.

I guess knowing that the Greenwood’s + Costas & HoloNorrin live on as holograms on Inkandessa 4 is supposed to make the reader feel better, but it really didn’t do that at all. A true heartbreaker

First off I’ll say the art was absolutely beautiful. The first page was really frustrating to me, I don’t love how far Stan Lee’s original origin and motivation for Silver Surfer have changed over the years. The story itself is fine. Nothing incredible but still good

The way Moore draws Silver Surfer is a little odd, but the background colors and loopy format makes up for it. I hope I don’t have to know to much about Knull to fully understand this

Its good but not as good as the reviews it’s been getting. Cates is the king of the cool last page reveal

The art is really crazy and I like the last page reveal again but Silver Surfer: Black does seem a bit overrated based on the first 3 issues

The art is starting to grow on me, especially the zoomed out panels. The scene between Norrin and Uatu for example. I like the connection made to Thanos Wins.

Art is insane and colorful. I just don’t see the hype behind the story itself. Don’t get me wrong, Silver Surfer: Black is a great series, I’ve given the whole series either 8 or 8.5, but it’s just not worth all the hype it gets

 Uncanny Avengers (2015) #24 Jan 4, 2022

Slow issue but really really good. Again, these issues are Lobdell’s speciality, and Madureira was far and wide the best X-artist of this era. Sam, Bobby, Ororo, and Remy all had some truly great moments here

Most of this issue is pretty lousy story and art wise but the return of Jamie Madrox at the end helps make up for it

Hopefully Mackie will start transitioning some of the previous X-Factor members back in the rotation. Madrox is already back and a hint of Guido possibly coming to! Not a fan of Shard or Wild Child

Basically just a big recap issue.

Slott presents so many great ideas throughout this series, this issue in particular. A planet full of Galactus refugees…

There are some elements that Slott has introduced that I don’t love, like Norrin being able to Silver down at will, Norrin originally being bored with Zenn-La’s luxury, and the board being sentient. Ultimately, though, Allred’s art is incredible and I’m a sucker for Galactus so another great issue all around

I didn’t love how it is revealed at the start of the issue that Norrin was just pretending to lose his powers, but the rest of Silver Surfer 10 more than makes up for it

I read this digitally, and I don’t think I got the full effect of the format. Nevertheless this was a cool time loop issue, don’t think it had to be as long as it was

Slott wrote this perfectly. Shalla-Bal will always be Norrin’s true love to me, and I was fully expecting Slott to force the Dawn relationship at the start of this series

Insanely chaotic and cosmic. Great tie in to Last Days and Secret Wars. Zed’s master and his master’s master are finally revealed, a payoff from the first arc of this series. Perfect issue

Everything about Silver Surfer 2 was phenomenal. Slott wrote the scene between Norrin, Alicia, and Dawn to perfection. Norrin? This butt looks incredibly accurate. Had me dying😹. Norrin promising Dawn no more surprises, and then we get that last page reveal…

Beautifully drawn issue. A real change of pace for Silver Surfer comics, as he’s no longer brooding alone in space. Allred’s art steals the show

Another ridiculously good issue. Its like a time capsule. Didn’t know Silver Surfer reverts to Norrin Radd when he’s not on his board though

Beautiful

Not even going to try to describe how good this is. Especially the 2nd half of this issue

A modern Death of Captain Marvel. This is everything Stan Lee created Silver Surfer to be. The encapsulation of peace and pureness, and don’t get me started with Ribic’s art. A simple story for sure, yet still a masterpiece. Wish Straczynski did more work with Marvel I’ve enjoyed this his Thor run and Fantastic Four.

Art is insanely impressive. Boris one of the most underrated Marvel characters

You can tell Cantwell had to crunch everything he had planned for this issue due to the cancellation. So much is skimmed over this issue: Everything with the ultimate nullifier, the Latverian-Symkarian War, the reveal of the real planner of the attack on Antlion, Dora’s true origin, Zora killing her mother, Zora seeking out Galactus, and everything between Blue Marvel, alt reality Otto, and the Brood. It’s insane how much is crunched in, it’s bad. But that’s not the worst part. At the end of the issue, Doom finally promises to forgo evil and chooses the good. That’s what Cantwell doesn’t understand about Doom. In Doom’s eyes, he’s always choosing the good

 Doctor Doom (2019) #9 Dec 29, 2021

Basically this whole series, specifically this issue, served to undo Infamous Iron Man. There were some insanely cool and insane moments this issue but ultimately Cantwell just doesn’t get Doom. Rarely is there a writer that understands Doom. Lee, Byrne, Waid, McDuffie, Hickman. Just off the top of my head.

The best issues of Lobdell’s run always come in between the huge sprawling epics. While this one isn’t as amazing as some of these other issues I still liked this one. The art is 10x better than the art of the other X-books at the time. I cant tell whether Uncanny X-Men 337 is trying to be a light hearted issue after the insanely dark Onslaught Saga or another darker, yet touching issue that examines Professor X. All in all, the additions of Joseph and Pietro have a lot of potential for the last leg of Lobdell’s X-Men

Onslaught story arc has lost a lot of steam. I don’t love what is being done with Eric. Claremont wrote a perfect Magneto redemption arc through years of writing and character growth. Most of that development was erased near the beginning of Lobdell’s run, and now Lobdell is doing his own Magneto redemption arc but through a mindwipe instead of actual character development. Still, Captain America was written well this issue

I love how light-hearted this issue is compared to Immortal Hulk. And the slower pace too. Moments like Puck playing video games on the couch with Rick and Del are the reason this series should exist

Now this is the Al Ewing I’m used to

Was really hoping this series would be about separating Rick and Del and finding Walter Samson. Why I’m here I might as well say how great a job Ewing has written Charlene McGowan. Between this and Immortal Hulk Ewing does a great job of not constantly reminding us that she’s trans. As someone else said. “The best kind of representative is the kind that isn’t meant to be”

I’m now starting to question the extent of Ewing’s involvement with this series. Whole thing has just been…mediocre

Skaar’s change of heart was so random, ungeniune, and poorly written. Abomination is beaten so so so easily it’s frustrating. Seems like this series left more loose ends than there were when it started

Xenmu eating and shredding up Dario has got to be one of the most satisfying things I’ve ever read. Liked seeing the “Big Guy” come back and those last couple pages were crazy. Perfect all around

I’m an absolute sucker for these types of issues, and Immortal Hulk 34 is no exception. I haven’t read to many Hulk comics that are pre-Planet Hulk but I loved the callbacks to the Peter David era

Masterpiece

So so good. Leader couldve finally won but his ego got the best of him and he got Hulk angry. Looks like Bruce created Devil Hulk in his mind when he was 3 to be his father, but since his real father is abusive, devil hulk took the form of a monster

What. the. actual. fuck

Joe Fixit and the kid are all that’s left. That “Here’s the Thing” reveal at the end is awesome

Great issue

Way early in the series, the One Below All enters Brian and controls him. A couple issues back, the Leader basically eats Brian, and unknowingly the One Below All as well. Now the One Below All is controlling the Leader. I hope I’m understanding this right 😭😭

I appreciated the slower pace. Joe Fixit is written so well. U-Foes scenes were pretty boring though

Not much actually happens this issue, despite the great narration and black and white pages. Joe Bennett and the art team are the best part of Immortal Hulk 12. Really wish the “Green Door” was something more interesting than hell, a place Marvel comics have visited 100x over

The art itself throughout this issue is 10/10. I NEED to know who the narrator was, even though at this point the narration and theology parts were the weakest part of the issue

Bennett absolutely nails the creepiness and gore this issue. Great plot advancement and some truly shocking moments. I read Peter David’s Incredible Hulk run earlier this year and I cannot be more happy that Joe Fixit has returned

10/10. Don’t know what to say without repeating myself with all the praise for Immortal Hulk. Thought this series was a tiny bit overrated while I was reading issues 11-13 but these last 2 issues have been 10s

Any excuse to read Tom Taylor’s Spider Man

Would be a 9.5 if it were Bennett on art over Garbett. Not that Garbett’s art was bad, Bennett’s is just better. This issue was perfectly written all around and does a good job of regrouping all the plot lines and moving forward

Insane ending. Whole issue is one big Hulk v Avengers

Nothing special. Mostly a retelling of Hickman’s SHIELD run. The Kirby parts were cool.

Totally unexpected. Literally the best issue of the series so far lmao

Worst art and story is this series so far

Waid’s one off story really hurt here, it felt like a story of this scope needs more than 1 issue

I have loved the show for years, seriously, it’s my favorite Marvel show ever so I’m not sure why I never read this series before. Its definitely not what I expected first issue, as it was wayyy over the top then what you would think would be a more grounded and espionage centered book. Anyways the art was absolutely beautiful, especially when Pacheco drew the monsters from across the 10 realms.

Better than #1 for sure. Although I’m not a fan of the guest of the month style (Black Knight & Valkyrie in #1, Ms Marvel here, Spider Man next issue)

Stale, stereotypical Spider Man-cameo banter and a dull plot hold this issue back. Wish this series was more about Fitz Simmons and May rather than whichever superhero is making a guest appearance

 Far Sector #4 Dec 2, 2021

One of the golden rules of storytelling is showing your themes, not telling. For the first 4 issues, Jemisin had been doing a great job of making comparisons between injustices on the City Enduring to injustices in our society today. Unfortunately, Jemisin very not subtly breaks this golden rule and flat out starts telling the reader her themes of injustice threw a series of flashbacks of Sojourner’s time on Earth

Ugh, this could’ve been so much better if that part about emotion wasn’t included. Jemisin explains why the people of the City Enduring don’t have any emotions at all, proceeds to show them emotion, and expects us to act like their was no emotion at all. The art was great and I like the world building so far but I can see myself having some issues with Far Sector down the line

In the movie, the Eternals plan works and they defeat the Dreaming Celestial rather easily. I think I like this version better

Good but not great series. Didn’t feel attached to the characters in the slightest besides Sersi but the plot was solid and art was amazing

While being a direct sequel to Gaiman’s Eternals, after 1 issue, Knauf’s Eternals is already much different. Gaiman’s Eternals was cosmic and plot driven, while the characters fell flat. Knauf makes the mistake of making these dull characters the center of this comic rather than a potentially interesting plot, gone away with anything cosmic. While Acuna’s art isn’t bad it’s definitely a step down from Romita’s, and the pace of this issue is much much slower than any issue from Gaiman’s run

Definitely improvement from last issue. Either Acuna’s art greatly improved or I’m just used to it now lmao. The scenes where the Dreaming Celestial explains to Makarri everything about the universe are beautiful

 Eternals (2008) #4 Nov 29, 2021

Pace picks up this issue, a ton happens. Ajak revealed to be a traitor. Joey and Makarri dead. Crazy

Felt rushed, but the first half of this issue was pretty good, I think having the reactivating pod things destroyed could’ve been a huge opportunity, having the Eternals struggle with immortality, but that was undone pretty quick

I like the cosmic stuff with the Watcher, Celestial, and the Horde but the Eternals themselves are just so uninteresting, there’s only so much this decent at best plot can do to keep me reeled in

The huge battle between Druig and his crew against Ikaris and the X-Men is a borefest and the X-Mens inclusion feels totally unnecessary. Sersi in the vestibule and the Celestial/Horde interactions salvage the issue but the series probably should’ve ended after 6

Overall not the greatest series that had major flaws but the Celestial and Joey reveal at the end made this series end with its best issue

Here after the movie, which I loved despite the reviews. Idk this issue was just kind of boring, despite it being a setup issue for the rest of the book. Every part with Mark and Ike is just boring, while the Sersi portion of the issue carried. I must say I have really enjoyed this depiction of Sersi compared to her MCU counterpart

Utterly boring and uninteresting first issue. Don’t care for Nadia at all. Art is great

 Uncanny X-Men (1963) #331 Oct 12, 2021

X-Men 50 really doesn’t have a lot going for it. Art was awful as Kubert’s proportions are insanely bad, even for a comic book. Lobdell just writes more or less 1 big grim battle issue as he sets up Onslaught

Art is great but the story is all over the place. So many things going on at once. Still, Excalibur 96 does have some redeemable qualities compared to the last couple issues

Huge improvement good issue

Ok this was amazing

Felt a bit rushed but the art is worth it

Loeb delivers the best issue to his run yet with an awesome Sebastian Shaw centered revenge issue as he takes out X-Force 1 by 1. Dodson’s art is incredible and he draws an absolutely menacing Holocaust

Like everything with Random Dark Beast and Havok but the Adversary is just plain boring and I just can’t get behind Howard Mackie describing him as the greatest threat to the Earth ever

Art for the Adversary is great and his final battle with Naze was the best part of the issue

With everything going down with Dark Beast and Alex and Forge and the Adversary, this issue focuses on Wild Child and Shard😐

X-Men 49 perfectly sets up the future of the X-Men line, as Lobdell sets up Onslaught and Dark Beast/Sugar Man as future big bads

Great character study

If you’ve been reading my reviews for this series you’ve probably heard this 10+ times but I’ll say it again: Lobdell EXCELS at writing these chill transitional/interlude issues.

First comic Ive read in a month and a half (although it feels much longer) after a much much needed break. After reading this issue, I again realized why I took that break. Not a downright horrible issue but just failed to hold my attention. Partially my fault though for reading X-Factor 113 so long after 112, I remember virtually nothing from last issue

Liked the art a lot better by Pollina, especially how Cable is drawn. Much more sleeker and less 90s-y.

Best issue of Ellis’ run yet. The ole “Genosha’s in a Civil War lets go” is most definitely getting old but I think Ellis is setting up some interesting stuff up with Pete Wisdom and Rory. First issue that I didn’t mind Britanic either

A little bit all over the place but the Shatterstar and Rictor scene was actually surprisingly well written, especially considering the time period this comic was made. Hated the Reignfire/Bobby plot twist though. End of an underrated era by Fabian Nicieza

So many great heartfelt moments. Can’t believe Cable knew all this time that Scott and Jean were Slym and Redd though

Legion just raped his own mom. wtf.

I dont even know how to explain why I liked this issue it’s just so whimsical lmao

A little bit rushed but I think AoA is a perfectly good reason to rush a filler issue

All out X-chaos. That last page with Lilandra and all the Watchers is just so cool

Rogue and Remy’s first kiss!!!

Another 10/10 issue by Lobdell. Loved it. The scenes between Bobby and Rogue are great and he perfectly writes the relationship between two broken characters in Warren and Betsy. All while setting up Legion Quest. Shoutout Steve Epting for the great art

Roger Cruz continues to be one of the best artists of this era. Love how powerful Lobdell depicts Legion

I must admit, I hated the Adam X character before this issue, and I still do. He’s everything wrong with the 90s. Nicieza made me care about him just a little bit more. Really great and wholesome issue, really loved Philip here too. 90s X-Men art has a horrible rep, but this was easily that era’s prime. Terry Dodson, Roger Cruz, Carlos Pacheco, Joe Madueira, Andy Kubert, and Steve Epting were all delivering phenomenal art throughout the X-books

Obvious filler but telling the story through Guido’s POV made for some great laughs

 X-Men: The Times and Life of Lucas Bishop #1 Apr 30, 2021

X-Men Annual 3 is a very pleasant surprise. Edginton does a great job of writing Ororo and exploring what makes her tick, and I love how her dynamic with the Professor is explored. Gene Ha’s art is so sophisticated and detailed and I wish he had worked on more X-Men during his time

Pretty solid issue besides the overly forced rivalry between Logan and Cable. Still the weakest of the 3 sections of Phalanx Covenany though

Cruz’s art is pure eye candy. Lobdell is infinitely better at these epilogue/transition issues than he is than at writing crossovers. Perfect issue in both writing and art

Art was bad and the dialogue between the Phalanx was horribly written

Sweet and quick little filler but it’s beginning to bother me more and more he everyone seems to have forgotten about Roberto

This is the most attention Dani has gotten in a comic in years and it was much needed. The reveal that Bobby is Reignfire is pretty shocking but I doubt I will like the explanation for it lmao

Horrible writing how the fuck do Forge’s powers even work now. Its like Lobdell altered Forge’s powers just for the sake of the plot

Gradually recovering from that horrible Haven arc...

Issues like these are always my favorite, slow, laid back, but always entertaining. Not the biggest Jubilee fan but she was written amazingly here

Lobdell making Gambit the new Logan with Logan gone😭

Scott Lobdell simply just does not know how everything works underwater. Gambit casually talked to Phalanx underwater, how is that even possible? Not to mention that Gambit was underwater for probably around 3 minutes. Good issue though but stuff like that always bothers me😂

Duursema’s art is really good. Best issue of DeMatteis run yet, still much lower in quality compared to David’s and Simonson’s run.

Random is by far the best part of this series

This psylocke/kwannon/revanche saga is mind-blowingly confusing. Halfway through the issue I just fucking gave up trying to understand

Everything that I said about 31 applies to this issue

Each time I think they are progressing Rachel’s character and story they whip her right back. This whole Captain Britain subplot thats been going on since Davis left is just so unnecessary and confusing

Awful issue. DeMatteis’s dialogue was extremely repetitive, like how many times in this issue alone did Haven explain her motives? The Abola/Val plot twist was the lone highlight of X-Factor 100

Incredibly 90s in all the worst ways

Fatal Attractions was not great. Lobdell’s and Nicieza’s dismantling of decades of Magneto’s character development is a travesty. Yet this issue is pretty good, since Magneto isn’t even in it. Lobdell’s Xavier is incredibly intriguing, and the Piotr/Kitty dynamic shines

Another dud of an issue for me. Lobdell, as if he hasn’t hammered it home enough, gives us another issue strongly alluding to the fact that Professor Xavier’s morals are corrupt, and although I appreciate how intriguing Lobdell is making Xavier, he’s just beating a dead horse at this point. I have genuinely no interest in Bobby/Rogue/Bishop story, the drama between Opal and Bobby has been going on for far too long

It was hinted at all throughout X-Cutioner’s Song that Cable/Stryfe might be Scott and Jean’s son, but we get no confirmation of that at all, just Scott merely speculating on one of the last pages. Its not even explained why Cable and Stryfe look alike. Apocalypse was also seriously nerfed during this story. X-Cutioner’s Song was really good but this ending was very very unsatisfying

Art is pretty good. Story is all over the place but I like it. Kane is really growing me and Nicieza has done a great job by grasping my attention with all the mysteries of Cable’s past

This was so much better than I ever expected. Hopefully X-Cutioner’s Song is just as good

Perfect start to X-Cutioner’s Song. Peterson’s art is a major upgrade from the last 3 issues. So much is going on but it never feels too much. Everything from the major shocks and reveals to subtle character moments and development was executed perfectly

Sooooo much going on with too many questions and not enough answers

 Excalibur (1988): The Sword Is Drawn #1 Apr 4, 2021

Such a good issue. Hilarious all throughout and really picks up plot wise near the end. So many characters from Claremont’s run return- Nigel, Courtney, Jamie, and Alysdane!

There was a little too much explaining but overall, Davis knocks it out of the park yet again

The art was fun but I genuinely didn’t feel anything while reading this. Doom killing Sidestep at the end without saying a word is by far the standout part of this comic. That last page pretty much made the whole comic worth it lmao

 Uncanny X-Men (1963) #292 Apr 2, 2021

This has been probably the worst 3-issue run of Uncanny X-Men since before Claremont took over writing duties. Lobdell completely botched his understanding of Morlocks and Callisto, she is very out of character. I didn’t care for Mikhail Rasputin at all and thought his motives were lazily written. The plot twist with Warren not having blood lust was stupid, as Warren was unconscious but his wings kept fighting just a couple issues ago. I will say that Jean was great all issue

I can’t help but start to love this series

 X-Factor (1986) #80 Apr 1, 2021

Super cleverly written arc

Art has improved with no Liefeld and although this is kind of a shallow issue, I did love that plot twist

Liefeld and Nicieza do a great job at juggling a ton of plot lines. Overhated comic

Jamie and Pietro are such a great duo that we deserve more of! I genuinely prefer Fern’s art to Stroman’s

Straight out of Shattershof we get another Mojo story. Seems like beating a dead horse at this point

Bye Jim Lee😢

The MLF is unbelievably annoying

Great moral dilemmas and Rahne-centered issue

Shattershot is immensely boring at this point, but Peter David’s 2 subsequent stories are hilarious and make up for the lackluster Shattershot story, although the Shatterstar reveal was nice

Art is still terrible but the story is actually pretty good. This is easily Toad at his evilest, he’s been more of a humorous character for the past couple years. Bridge, Cable, Tolliver, Gideon, and Stryker are way too similar for my liking and I still have so many unanswered questions but X-Force definitely doesn’t deserve the bad rep it gets, it’s a pretty solid series

Gloriously weird, Davis’ art is up there with Jim Lee’s as the best of this era

Pretty solid issue, I love how the reader bounces around from character to character as they enter this new reality/alien planet.

Not a fan of the retcon but solid issue

I’ll take Romita’s artwork over Portacio’s any day. Great to finally get some backstory on Bishop, Malcolm, and Randall

Good issue but could have been better. Some dialogue and art came off super awkwardly though, but that’s what happens when you have 4 writers and 3 artists instead of the usual 1 and 1 on a single issue

Perfect balance of plot development and character development. You know it’s a good issue when they have a picnic😂. Remy accidentally throwing the pie at Rogue had me dying. I wish Jim Lee drew every X-Men comic until the end of time because this is glorious

This arc should not have been 3 issues long, so dragged out and its just been 1 huge battle for 3 straight issues, counting Spider Man 16. The Mike Mignola pinup at the end is easily better than anything Liefeld has drawn this whole issue

Everything you would want in an X-Men comic, easily better than the 1st 3 issues, which are far more well loved. Lee’s art is gorgeous. X-Men goes back to its roots with a laid back issue full of character development and a slow-build villain story. Amazing

 DCeased: Dead Planet (2020) #3 Mar 21, 2021

Taylor does a perfect job with Mr Miracle. “My son, he is grown” “They tend to do that when you leave.” Hilarious yet powerful conversation at the same time.

Taylor writes some great dialogue but everything Jason Todd and Rose Wilson holds this issue back from a higher score. First, Taylor let’s us know that Rose and Jason are married pretty early in the issue, which should have been obvious foreshadowing. A couple pages later Jason is killed by Freddy Marvel, and the only reason was to give Rose more motivation. But wait, don’t waste your emotions on his death, he might be resurrected with Cyborg’s cure. Just because this is an alt universe doesnt mean Taylor should treat characters like Jason and Roy like shit.

Can’t believe there is still like 4+ plot lines left and only 1 issue to go😂Constantine is for sure the best part of this comic

Good issue with flawless art, but most definitely a rushed conclusion. It just ended so quickly, Taylor tried to fit way too much into 7 issues with both the Amazos and Trigon being threats. With undead Darkseid spreading the virus throughout the galaxy and Superman still absorbing the sun, I assume DCeased will be back with a threequel, which is a shame because imo it should’ve ended after the original series. Ultimately, Dead Planet is a solid continuation of Taylor’s saga, but it is no where near as good as the original DCeased or Unkillables

Ok this is already an upgrade with Davis at writer as well as art duties. Some truly hilarious and also deeply interesting moments. Davis was gifted with such an imagination, like who comes up with characters like Horatio Cringebottom and Bert

Downright hilarious. Marvel gotta make a Disney + dramedy out of Excalibur

Liam Sharp is everything that was wrong with art in the 90s

I kinda like how David is doing a more horror-esque story, like he did early in his Hulk run, but Sharpe’s art ruins it for me

This series went downhill quick😢

Extremely hard to get through this one. Terrible plot, horrible and confusing art, and annoying narration.

Terrible issue. Dodson’s art, while much better than Sharpe’s, is still lackluster. The Punisher kills many innocents this issue and feels no remorse.

While this issue suffered from many of the same things that plagued last issue, the last couple pages made me really feel bad for the Hulk and Contessa, and the Howling Commandos were pretty funny throughout

Very wholesome issue, loved it!

First issue of David’s run and it kinda picks up in the middle of a story Al Milgrom’s run started, which I haven’t read. Still a great read.

Cant get enough of this series

the birth of the professor

Only Peter David’s Hulk can have absolutely depressingly heartbreaking issues in the same run as some of the funniest comics of their time.

Two issues ago was one of the funniest issues of the run. Now, one of the saddest issues of the run. Peter David loves to yank my emotions around🙄🙄

David’s Incredible Hulk was truly ahead of its time. The gay awareness with Hector, AIDS awareness, and showing that you didn’t have to be gay to get AIDS. Heartbreaking issue

The Pantheon is one of the best things about David’s Hulk

Flawless art by Gary Frank. The best part is when everyone thinks they are being attacked or that an Earthquake is coming but it is just Volstagg all along😭😹

David begins to tie all the Pantheon stories together while also writing a great Asgardian tale

~50 issues of lead up paying off!!!

Phenomenal issue, even though the 2nd half did have mediocre art

Never expected to like the Pantheon as much as they did, 1st issue without them felt lacking, but it is obviously a transition issue

 X-Men: God Love, Man Kills Extended Cut #2 Mar 12, 2021

A genuine shame that Zub’s comics don’t sell that well, because this was yet another solid series from him. My main complaint about this issue is Marvel’s recent streak of gradually making all of the Marvel Monsters into good guys, or at least into characters you can sympathize with. I love how Zub, unlike most Marvel and DC writers right now, appreciates and uses continuity to his advantage. And of course great art by Medina too

Flawless issue. I love the simple ness of the story and the themes that Luen Yang writes so well

Fuck racism😎

I wouldnt go so far as to say that this is the best Superman comic since All-Star, but Luen Yang and Gurihiru definitely deliver an all-time classic with Superman Smashes the Klan

Ive read most of Morrison’s big 2 work before reading Animal Man and never did I expect the first issue to be so...simple. I still love it nonetheless !

 Animal Man (1988) #11 Jan 12, 2021

Morrison perfectly blends character writing and development with his signature big, grand ideas

One of the greatest comic issues I’ve ever read, and its surprisingly even more relevant today than I imagine it was in the late 80s. Although Mike says the B’wana Beast isn’t about politics, for some people, like Dominic, their whole life and well-being revolves around politics.

Not the greatest issue immediately after I read it, but it all made sense in time...

Wow, I never thought I would feel this bad for fictional dolphins

Another tremendous and unique issue of Animal Man. The JLE simply sees good and evil and fight against all that they don’t understand while Buddy accepts the weirdness, see his and Ellen’s conversation in the beginning, and attempted to understand the Time Commander

A true tear jerker

Pure genius

It’s a shame Aaron didn’t get to write a proper goodbye to Jane Foster, but let’s face it, he overstayed his welcome in the Asgard corner of Marvel with this series. This issue in particular felt extremely rushed and anticlimactic. Solid series, weak ending

First off, Marquez’s art is absolutely phenomenal, and fits this book’s street level theme perfectly. Unfortunately, Bendis’ dialogue seems forced throughout the whole issue, In the end, great art and solid art cover up Bendis’ awkward writing to deliver a good but not great first issue.

Bendis will forever be one of my favorite comic writers ever, but this issue was just boring and uninteresting. There’s potential, but the dialogue just felt so forced. That last page was pretty crazy and Marquez’s art is still beautiful, so I’d say Defenders 2 is a 6.5

Defenders 3 finally picks up the pace. Danny got totally Baned!! Bendis still tries way too hard with the witty dialogue and I am somewhat annoyed with how powerful Willis Stryker is now compared to the other Defenders, but Defenders 3 is definitely the best issue yet.

Defenders is slowly but surely taking form. The Gary joke is classic Bendis humor and it made me laugh out loud. Willis Stryker is outrageously overpowered but based on the last page...I think I’ll like what’s coming. The art is pure eye candy

Huh. Maybe this means that this version of Black Cat will stay dead and we’ll get the badass cat burgular we all love back. Anyways, Willis should NOT have tested Frank like that. Bad idea. Very bad idea

Best issue yet. For the first time all series, I have no complaints about the dialogue. Art is consistently phenomenal and I loved to see Luke Cage beat the sheet out of Willis.

The fight scene between Danny and Elektra is easily the best part of this whole series so far. Not even close. Amazing job by Marquez and Bendis this issue.

Good issue, Defenders has truly improved as its gone on. Deadpool kinda ruins this issue for me. His jokes are horrible and he feels so out of place.

Just ur usual huge Bendis action issue. Definitely a blast to read but its nothing special

Ha! I knew Bendis couldn’t resist writing one last Hood story. Defenders turned out to be a very good series and its a shame it only last 10 issues, but David Marquez was the true mvp of this book.

Best issue yet. Art really growing on me

All in all, Wonder Woman: Dead Earth is just another post-apocalyptic superhero comic. Im still left wondering if the reader is supposed to view the humans or the amazons as the antagonists

Yet another post-apocalyptic comic from DC. I enjoy the art but every character seems so young, Wonder Woman looks 14. A bit of a drag of an issue but this series definitely has potential

Diana lacks a lot of characterization in this series. That ending seemed so out of character

Like the title says, utter chaos

Everything they said about this series is true. Read it

A hilarious yet convincing origin for the new Beetle!
9.5
 Superior Foes of Spider-Man #8 Oct 30, 2020

Might just be the best issue yet. Spencer is on a roll

Obvious filler issue comes with an expected dip in quality of art and story, but Superior Foes of Spider Man 10 still managed to be true to jts characters and make me laugh frequently

While i enjoyed last issue’s filler, this issue, though, not so much. Awful cover too

Hilarious 2nd issue. Spencer does a great job with Fred’s narration

Witty dialogue solid art and a story ripe with plot twists are making this series a must read

Welp I did not see that coming

Yup I’m hooked

Although I do hope Beetle and Overdrive start to develop more, I am beyond impressed by these first 6 issues

First of all, Lieber’s art is pure eye candy. While this issue was a little boring, it does a nice job of setting up the rest of the series and I laughed more than a few times throughout the issue

Fraction and Lieber love comics, and it shows. Quite possibly the best issue yet

Solid ending, although I wasn’t a huge fan of Julian as the antagonist and the ending of Jimmy taking control of Lex’s bank account

Fraction is finally starting to fill in the gaps, and it is glorious

Super fun first issue. Plenty of laughs and Lieber’s art perfectly matches the tone of the issue. Cant wait for more

Jimmy Olsen 2 is jam packed with laughs. Fraction’s Olsen is hilarious and I can’t wait to see how Fraction builds up this story

Jimmy Olsen is quickly becoming one of my favfavorite characters. Fraction is clearly having the time of his life writing this, and so am I reading this

Forget Leviathan, this is a real mystery comic

Dex-Starr

This series gets funnier and funnier as Fraction continues to piece this story together

This is a hoot !

Still great, somewhat of a filler issue though

Another issue full of eye candy courtesy of Steve Lieber. The last couple pages drop a huge A-Bomb on everything we know so far

Well here I am, my first comic in about 4.5 months. Solid issue, despite being very cliched. Edidin does do a surprisingly fantastic job of writing this whole issue without retconning anything previously established

Once again Zdarsky’s rendition of Dr Doom steals the show. He explained mutants and his idea of evolution in a way no character ever has since the Namor was first created as the first mutant in the 1940s: he doesn’t believe that the next step in human evolution is physical and he doesn’t believe the mutants are the next step in human evolution. Doom believes that the next step in evolution will be of the intellect, and that mutants were created to force humans to get smarter. I could read Doom, Reed, Xavier, and Magneto interact for hours on end

A bit of a slow start, and at times this issue felt unnecessarily violent. I did like the humor this issue and I actually enjoyed the art as well

Absolutely phenomenal issue. Taylor once again nails yet another zombie apocalypse story.

10/10. This series really shouldn’t work at all, but it just does. I couldn’t help but let Taylor yank around my emotions throughout this whole comic

Weak issue. Necessary, but weak nonetheless

 Omega Men #11 May 17, 2020

Great sci-fi comic, one of the best DC has ever published. King needs to start channeling great stories like this again

Insanely awesome world building by King. Basically Star Wars but not so black and white.

Love the 9 panel format. One of the best Kyle stories since the Johns era

The fact that King has made me care this much about this ragtag group is a testament to his writing skills. The art is unique and unlike anything else in comics

Might just be the best issue yet. I love how King emphasizes that this conflict isn’t black and white like Star Wars

I’m so confused ah mane

 Omega Men #2 May 14, 2020

Outstanding issue, the first of the series where I can say I genuinely enjoyed it and could see why Omega Men is so critically acclaimed. The fight between the princess and Tigorr and Scrapps is easily one of the best fight scenes King has ever wrote, something he’s never excelled at. Phenomenal art as well and I loved the last second plot twost

Easily a 10 without this horrible art. King kills it with the dialogue for this issue.

This comic is so addicting. Wasn’t a big fan of the 1st issue or even the 2nd but I’m now fully aboard the Omega Men hype train

Definitely not what I was expecting. Again, it’s hard to review this issue mere minutes after my first reading. Definitely will be visiting this series again

I thought Pax Americana would be the hardest to understand and then this...

Good art and very informative. Feels like Morrison would have no trouble writing every DC comic

Morrison gives his own spin of the classic Superman: Red Son, but Superman is a Nazi instead of a Communist. The art is good, but Mastermen isn’t much different than Red Son, and in a straight comparison, Red Son is far, far superior to this issue. Biggest letdown of Multiversity so far

Phenomenal first issue. Multiversity 1 feels just like another Morrison classic, Final Crisis: Superman Beyond, but a lot more exciting and less convoluted. Morrison truly has the best imagination in comics

These types of one-and-done stories were the norm for comic’ early decades, but they’ve become a rarity nowadays. Morrison brings back the one and done style for Chapter 2 of Multiversity, and it’s easily one of the highlights of his spectacular career. Sprouse delivers art wise to make this issue perfect

10/10 concept from Morrison but less than perfect execution by Morrison. The art by Oliver is surprisingly great. I almost wish this issue was longer, as I feel one issue isn’t enough to get all of Morrison’s ideas across.

One of the hardest comics to ever review, much less read. At first I thought this comic was confusing, but I realized I wasn’t reading it right. There’s so much depth to this comic when given a closer look. Looking back, Morrison successfully pays homage to Watchmen while also making it different. Definitely going to be rereading this

Wow. Morrison writes “Thunderworld Comics” as a homage to the Golden Age. This issue is beautifully drawn, simple, and a standalone. Loved it. Just a very chill and fun comic

Sinestro is once again proving to be one of DC’s best and deepest characters

Johns somehow made a decades old character in Sinestro and turn him into one of the most compelling and well written characters in comics history. This was the absolute perfect ending to Johns’ run. I love each and every ending Johns gave to these characters, especially Sinestro’s ans Hal’s endings. The fact that DC ruined Johns’ ending by doing dumb sh*t like making Kyle and Carol a couple sickens me

Getting a little tired of Volthoom. Tomasi gives Guy the corniest dialogue

Solid finale to Tomasi’s GL work, although I enjoyed his original ending on GLC in GLC 48

Somehow, Johns, Bedard, and company have managed to take a decades old character in Sinestro and make him seem fresh and interesting all over again

 Green Lantern: New Guardians #20 May 12, 2020

Sepulveda does a tremendous job on the art, but seriously, how many times is Milligan going to retell Atrocitus’ origin? I love that, despite all that he’s been through, Atrocitus decides to keep reality the same rather than become a dictator and get killed by his son

I really, really, really could not care less about whatever Rankorr and Bleez are doing on Earth. Atrocitus has some sort of epiphany this issue but I’m definitely not feeling it

Atrocitus finally getting his revenge is immensely satisfying. Every page without Atrocitus in it is near unreadable at this point.

Everything clicks really well in Green Lantern 17. Simon has been great but I truly did miss Hal and Sinestro. Great art
9.5
 Green Lantern (2011) #18 May 11, 2020

Great issue. Tomasi takes advantage of Volthoom and uses him to explore what makes Guy who he is. Phenomenal character study

Ah man the art is so weird

Another all out slugfest in a GL comic. Very nicely drawn and Tomasi packs this issue full of epic moments, from Kyle’s arrival on Oa, to Mogo’s resurrection, to Guy getting his ring back, and to Volthoom breaking free as the issue ends

Bedard has slowly but surely written Kyle to the point where I can safely say he’s my 2nd favorite lantern

Fantastic character study of Kyle Rayner. Bedard has really impressed me during this run

Horrible art but Bedard’s story is alright. I especially liked all panels with Saint Walker or Larfleeze. These character studies are getting stale, though

Lmao Milligan casually ignores that Atrocitus was a skeleton just last issue

Could’ve been worse

I’m already starting to like Simon more than Guy
9.0
 Green Lantern (2011) #15 May 10, 2020

I think B’Dg might just be my new favorite Green Lantern

Despite the fact that Guy has the most cliche personality out of the 4 main GLs, GLC 14 is a pretty good issue

Poor guy

I actually really liked the way Tomasi wrote Guy this issue. He didn’t feel like a total Han Solo trope this time around. The guest appearance by Simon and B’Dg was perfectly executed

Another good but not great issue. Arkillo has really changed since the Sinestro Corps War

New Guardians 15 is a very solid issue. I’m very interested to discover Larfleeze’s origin and Sayd’s death was a noble end to a well written character

This issue actually started off really well but Milligan made a huge change of direction story wise midway through

Super confusing and boring

As much as I’m against yet another human getting a GL ring (Earth now has 5 GLs and Korugar has 2, and no other world has more than 1!), I can’t help but enjoy Johns origin of Simon Baz. If there’s one thing Johns excels at, it’s origins. Also, I think he kind of exaggerated all the Muslim racism but that’s ok

Anyways, I’m starting to really like Simon. The Guardians are just awful.

9.0
 Green Lantern (2011) Annual #1 May 9, 2020

Good issue but I liked Guy’s original origin better

For once I agree with the Guardians that the Alpha Lanterns should perform their own execution.

One big fight scene. A little boring and predictable

7.5
 Green Lantern Corps (2011) #12 May 9, 2020

We’re still a little early in the Rise of the Third Army arc, so GLC 13 isn’t terribly exciting, but Tomasi’s perfect pacing and Cafu’s art are some highlights

Looking back, what was DC thinking with Kyle and Carol? Still, great art and any appearance by Tom in a Johns era comic is much appreciated

Like one of the other reviewers said, the art is definitely off, especially on Atrocitus. I feel like Kyle should’ve been able to break free of Atrocitus, but I guess it was necessary to the plot that the man die for Kyle to channel his rage.

I swear this origin is retold like every 10 issues

Best issue of Red Lanterns yet without a doubt. Milligan delivers a great one and done issue while also tying into Rise of the Third Army. Atrocitus was especially great.

Nok lekka Johns ok Mahnke rok nok oka. hok ek tatok 7 shilokk. Nok rok nok

Like I said in my review for last issue, I’m so glad Johns is finally revealing the origin of the Indigo Tribe. Black Hand is probably one of the most underrated characters of Johns’ run

GL 9 reveals that Abin Sur, along with Narmoto, founded the Indigo Tribe to give the Guardians compassion before they replace the Green Lanterns. Excellent issue and Mahnke’s art is fabulous

The dynamic between Hal and Sinestro is fantastic. I know the usual status quo of Hal being a GL and Sinestro being evil will return soon but I can’t help but love this new take of them being partners. Black Hand committing suicide rather than rejoining the Indigo Tribe was haunting

Extremely haunting issue. Everything is gradually beginning to come together for Johns’ last epic, Rise of the Third Army and Wrath of the First Lantern.

80 issues in and Johns continues to be able to absolutely shock me with his last page plot twists. No exception here
9.0
 Green Lantern Corps (2011) #8 May 8, 2020

The Guardians are just the absolute worst. I’m really hoping the last panel of the last comic of the Johns era is the Guardians finally getting locked in the sciencells for good.

The best thing about this comic is that it’s giving much needed attention to characters who wouldn’t get enough in the main GL series or even in GLC. Much respect for Saint Walker and the Blue Lanterns too

I honestly like the revelation that Sayd orchestrated the ring robbery all along. Bedard does a great job of building Larfleeze up as the villain

The way the Orrery miraculously changed sizes from panel to panel really annoyed me

Great start full of action and beautiful art. I love when we get to see the personal lives of Guy and John

 Green Lantern Corps (2011) #2 May 7, 2020

J’onn !
8.5
 Green Lantern Corps (2011) #5 May 7, 2020

Basically one huge climatic and final battle, but it’s a GL comic so I’ve become used to it

One of the saddest comics I’ve ever read

Best issue yet easily. Kirkham’s art lights up each page. This team is finally starting to actually feel like a team. Before writes one good Arkillo

Some much appreciated focus on the Saint Walker and the Blue Lanterns. This series is really starting to shape up

Yeesh. Really unfocused and boring. Hopes this goes somewhere

Red Lanterns 9 might be the best issue yet. Nothing extraordinary, but this issue is certainly more focused then previous ones. Milligan writes Atrocitus well, although I don’t care for Jack

Entertaining issue but it’s best to think about this issue as little as possible. Extremely unnecessary Stormwatch tie in

Good issue. Fast pace, good action, and solid art. Rankorr really is a useless character, no matter how hard Milligan tries

Atrocitus is easily the best part about this comic. I swear Milligan just makes up new concepts whenever it’s convenient, like when Atrocitus did the blood vision thingie.

GL: New Guardians 1 is a pretty uneventful first issue. Good art but seriously boring story
7.0
 Green Lantern: New Guardians #2 May 6, 2020

Best issue yet. Larfleeze is just the best

Not sure how excited I am first next issue after this last page, but Larfleeze has made this series that much more interesting. I will not be satisfied until the Guardians are stuffed in the sciencells for good because they are the true villains of the Johns era

Entertaining issue plagued by a couple consistency issues from Bedard, like the orrery being drawn barely bigger than an average spaceship when its supposed to be the size of a galaxy

Again, not the worst issue but it’s Bedard’s inconsistencies that are really affecting my enjoyment of this comic. Since when can a green lantern talk to other lanterns of the emotional spectrum just by feeling that emotion? Kirkham isn’t without either, as it seems he mistakenly drew Bleez in the background right when Fatality is wondering where Bleez is. Orange juice and toothpaste really is the worst, though

Starting to like the interactions between the team. Although Inspictus is a cliche GL villain (something tragic happened billions of years ago now he’s back for revenge), I do love the way Bedard writes Larfleeze. Easily the best part of this comic

For the past 40 or so issues of Johns’ GL run, Hal has been fighting off baddies nonstop. GL 1 is a great change of pace as Hal adjusts to life without the ring

Sinestro continues to be one of the most compelling characters in all of comics

Johns perfectly nails the dynamic between Hal and Sinestro

After 70+ issues, Johns and Mahnke find new ways to make their run fresh and exciting

So glad Hal finally told Carol he loves her!

I loved Hal and Carol being together and Hal living a civilian life, but the Sinestro portion of this comic was quite boring and Choi’s art is far worse than Mahnke’s

I love Atrocitus and the Red Lanterns as much as the next guy but I’m not fully convinced about their spinoff series yet. Benes art is phenomenal and he continues to be one of DC’s most underrated artists, but Atrocitus works better as a badass side character rather than the main character of this series

Solid improvement on issue one. Atrocitus might just work as a central protagonist after all

Pretty predictable issue. I think I liked Bleez a lot better as the raging and violent yet amusing psycho she was in Emerald Warriors

That Ratchet backstory is horrifying in all the right ways, but cmon, who didn’t see this Bleez betrayal coming. Milligan writes Atrocitus far less fun than Johns did. Great artwork

I really hope Red Lanterns starts to pick up, because 5 issues in and their isn’t much of a plot yet, just a collection of average subplots. I’ve been enjoying the Earth subplot as well as learning about some of the more minor RLs like Skrallox and Rachet, but something’s got to pick up soon

The story is actually starting to pick up a little. John is now a Red Lantern, and attacks his brother’s killers before being stopped by Guy Gardner himself. Judging by the last page, looks like we’re getting Guy vs John next issue. Milligan seems to have seriously nuked Atrocitus but I guess that’s due to the fact Krona is dead

John vs Guy was a bit of a letdown. Like the guy below me said, basically a bunch of action sequences: Bleez and the RLs vs some Sinestro Corps survivors, John vs Guy, and Atrocitus vs Abys-whatever. Not much depth to Red Lanterns 7 but definitely a fun read

The art is absolutely terrible and it’s apparent that Burnham didn’t try very hard with this issue. The story itself is great and shows off some of the minor characters Morrison has been building up throughout the years

Batman Incorporated 2 is one of Morrison’s greatest Batman issues, and Batman himself only appears sparingly throughout. Morrison uses this issue to retell the origin of Talia, and it’s spectacular. My one complaint is that Bruce and Talia willingly had sex originally in Batman: Son of the Demon, but Morrison retconned it so that Talia drugged him.

This volume of Batman Incorporated is proving to be far better than the first. This issue has beautiful art, a lighthearted story, and one of the most unique Bruce Wayne stories ever, as he goes undercover as Matches Malone. Damian is as hilarious as ever

I love this series’ charm. Batman Incorporated perfectly mixes action, plot development, and humor. Great plot twist from Morrison by incorporating Jason into this issue as Wingman. Burnham’s art is absolutely fantastic and perfectly matches Morrison’s wacky tone

If this issue came out earlier in Morrison’s run, there’s no way I would’ve understood it, but I think I’ve gotten used to Morrison’s writing now. He truly is a genius.

Vol 2 of Batman Incorporated might just be the highlight of everything Grant Morrison Batman. Damian is written to perfection

The death of Knight was truly saddening. Can’t wait for Damians return next issue

Wow Damian’s death hit deep. Talia’s reaction really makes you feel at least a little sympathy towards her. Dick and Damian’s friendship is the best part of this issue. One of the finest issues I’ve ever read

Really felt for Bruce this issue. The scene where Bruce tells Alfred to take a vacation is heartbreaking. Loved how Morrison switched from Damian’s funeral to the immediate aftermath of Heretic stabbing Damian throughout the issue

Yeaaaa Talia and Heretic are in deep trouble...... Loved the Ra’s scene

I’m all for an occasional filler issue to develop minor characters, but Batman Incorporated 11 has literally no connections to the main storyline, and Burnham is a much better artist than writer. His dialogue can be a pain to read
10
 Batman Incorporated (2012) #12 May 4, 2020

For once, Morrison ended a series without it being super messy and confusing (Final Crisis 7, Return of Bruce Wayne 6, Batman Inc Vol 1 8). Phenomenal issue

The art is too overly gory at times and the story is somewhat unfocused, but overall Batman Incorporated 1 is a success by Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham. Morrison writes Goatboy perfectly in his first appearance and he’s a character you can feel for. It’s still hard to take Leviathan seriously, especially considering their Morrison’s replacement for the Black Glove
9.0
 Green Lantern (2005) #66 May 3, 2020

The first half of this issue is basically a huge, bland battle between the entire Green Lantern Corps and Krona and the Entity-possessed Guardians. The second half of this issue, though, is extraordinary. Sinestro getting the green ring again is one of the greatest moments of this series and the last couple pages were absolutely perfect.

Ah man not Mogo!

Bedard makes Qurina such a deep character in such a small page count, it’s pretty great to read. Great John Stewart issue for the most underrated GL of the Geoff Johns era

I find it unconvincing that Miri did all that just to attract the attention of Soranik and Kyle. A good chance to develop a minor character like Tomar-Tu is wasted be Bedard

Amazing ending to a great series.

Pasarin is the real MVP of this issue, as Tomasi writes this issue like a Michael Bay movie

Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors is an issue you should absolutely read. The art is great, you need absolutely no information coming into this issue, and it’s very entertaining

Another great one-off tale by Tomasi

Issue 13 lacks in quality compared to issues 11 and 12, as Tomasi fails to take advantage of pairing Guy and Batman on a mystery

Super solid aftermath issue. Sepulveda’s art is so different from the main GL artists like Pasarin, Benes, Kirkham, and Mahnke, which gives this issue a unique feel. The pace is a lot slower and calm compared to War of the Green Lanterns, and it lets the reader actually breath. Great character moments throughout. The Guardians truly are the main villains of Johns’ run

Exactly what a great aftermath issue should do: informative, exciting, and maybe even better than War of the Green Lanterns itself

Everything clicks perfectly in Green Lantern 63, which is rare for an issue so deep into a run like this. Benes does a great job as substitute artist

 Green Lantern (2005) #64 May 2, 2020

I haven’t rated an issue of GL this low in a long time, which is a genuine shame. The art is consistent as ever but so far War of the Green Lanterns has been a bit of disappointment. Instead of an actual civil war inside the corps, Krona has mind controlled every lantern using Paralllax except Ganthet, Hal, John, Kyle, and Guy

 Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors #9 May 2, 2020

Black Manta and Siren really fall flat as villains. The Aquaman/Aqualad story of Brightest Day has been one of the weaker stories and it doesn’t get much better here.

Solid art and a good conclusion to Aquaman’s story in Brightest Day. The new “Aqua Family” would’ve had a lot of potential if it weren’t for the New 52.

Literally everything about the White Lantern and Ring is stupid. I swear some of the things Boston’s ring does are just written to move the plot forward.

Deathstorm and the Anti-Monitor’s involvement was pretty pointless but Johns and Tomasi develop Ronnie perfectly throughout this issue. They nailed the execution on Professor Stein’s death. So sad

This was awful. Another Nekron-type villain. Elementals. Really? Swamp Thing. Really? Brightest Day 23 is just one big, poorly-drawn mess of an issue

This series wasn’t all bad but it’s ending is atrocious. Like awful

 Green Lantern Corps (2006) #55 May 1, 2020

Best issue of GLC yet. Sinestro’s arrival on Qward was amazing. Perfectly written by Tony Bedard

If anything, GLC 57 proves why Sinestro is one of the greatest villains in comic book history

Probably the worst out of the 3 core GL series, but still solid. Tomasi writes Kilowog especially well

 Green Lantern: Emerald Warriors #6 May 1, 2020

Broo i hate all these Retcons.

Nearly an entire issue dedicated to retconning and retelling the already confusing and convoluted origins of Hawkman and Hawkgirl? No thanks.

Brightest Day 14 is the best issue of the series yet. It’s basically the Christmas Carol, but instead of Scrooge we get Boston Brand, and instead of the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, we get the White Ring.

Johns, Tomasi, and Gleason give their take on the classics Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow and Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader with Brightest Day 15. For the most part, they succeed. I did find Gleason’s art lacking compared to his other work with Tomasi.

Starting to like this new Aqualad, although I dislike all the multiple retcons connected to his origin.

The scene where Deadman meets up with his grandpa is easily the best scene of this whole series

Like one of the critics above stated, Johns and Tomasi finally wrote Carter and Shiera to a point where they could be written without their convoluted history getting in the way, but at the last second they were killed off. Boston’s White Ring truly is the worst.

Best issue in a while

Average issue compared to the other issues Johns has pumped out in this series, but I love that last second plot twist involving Krona

I would’ve never thought Johns would be able to make me feel for Atrocitis but here we are.

This run is just so awesome. Don’t know how else to say it.

Kirkham’s art is a pleasant surprise and Bedard delivers another solid issue. Narrowing down the cast for this comic has done wonders for it

Bedard writes Sinestro sort of out of character, as I’d imagine that he would actually go save his daughter, unless there’s something we don’t know about going on. But hey, any comic with my boy Hannu in it is a good one

Weird issue. Guy’s mission into the unknown sectors with Kilowog, Bleez, and Arisia comes off as super forced by Tomasi. It actually would’ve been more beneficial to my enjoyment of this series if we actually knew why Guy, Ganthet, and Atrocitus made their pact

Animal Man story is the highlight of this issue. The Donna/Cassie story wasn’t awful either

While inferior to Johns’ work on Green Lantern, Tomasi and Gleason end their run perfectly

I expected Green Lantern Corps 48 to take a dip without Tomasi and Gleason, but Bedard and Syaf more than fill their shoes. I’m actually very excited for the next issue

I was worried that Tomasi’s momentum would dip without his partner in crime Patty Gleason on the art duties, but Pasarin proves to be a more than competent artist himself. Guy is finally getting the attention he deserves and Tomasi starts the series off strong by setting up a mystery involving Guy, Ganthet, and Atrocitus

Great art and story, a real shame that most of Krul’s Titans run isn’t as good as this. He wrote Gar perfectly this issue

Sinestro is by far one of the most well written characters, not just villains, in comics

Best issue since 25

Hal, Sinestro, and Carol teaming up with Mahnke on art. Yes please

Too much gore and unnecessarily violence but solid story for characters who don’t and won’t get enough panel time in Green Lantern and Blackest Night

I was hoping Blackest Night would be more about the War of the Light so far it’s been just about the dead resurrecting only on Earth. Still a good story but I wish this event relied more on its tie ins to get certain points across

Art is phenomenal

Perfect issue

Loved the opening scene between Bruce, Dick, Tim, Alfred, and Damian. Gleason’s art is great as well

Tomasi writes the dynamic between Damian and Dick phenomenally, but I really don’t care about the White Knight at all

Meh. Gleason’s art takes a dip in quality and the White Knight is just not a character I care about at all

Bad art, solid story. You should only read this if you particularly like Jason, if not, their are better Bat stories out there

 Batman and Robin (2009) #24 Apr 21, 2020

Another great issue. Irving’s art is exceptional and Hurt is by far the best villain of the series yet. Morrison’s unique take on Joker makes this issue even better

The conversation between Damian and Joker is perfectly scripted. Last page gave me chills

Stewart’s art pales in comparison to Irving’s unfortunately, but Batman and Robin 16 is a fine conclusion to a great series. Dick and Damian were a perfect pair and Morrison wrote so much great character development. The Joker steals the show for yet another issue as well.

Great art and I love the Bruce/Selina dynamic. If only I cared more about all the Japanese characters

Nothing horrible but nothing exceptional either. A majority of the important events of this issue could’ve been condensed into Batman Incorporated 1. Great art

Very good issue and art is great. Morrison reveals a lot this issue and I surprisingly followed along ok

Unrestricted Morrison at his finest

Some genuinely solid character moments between Dick and Damian. Too bad DC was so intent on bringing back Bruce so quickly

I really, really disliked Irving’s work in Azrael: Death’s Dark Knight, but he’s pulled a complete 180 in Batman and Robin 13. His artwork is phenomenal. Morrison’s story is great, and the interactions between Dick and Jim are gold

Sprouse’s artwork is fresh and clean, and Morrison’s story is quite entertaining, yet dragged out. All the clues he planted in Batman and Robin are coming together

Confusing, slow paced comic with awful art where everyone is drawn the same

If only these issues weren’t so long

Massive letdown. I was really looking forward to Jonah Hex vs Bruce Wayne. Mediocre art and we barely spend any time with Bruce this issue

Flawless comic start to finish

Awesome little team up

Each issue of GL is a perfect blend of action, beautiful art, and new revelations about Johns budding epic.

I can confidently say Batman and Robin 10 is the best issue of the series yet. Clarke’s art is stunning and better than even Quitely’s. All of Morrison’s plots are coming together perfectly, and Damian grows on me more and more by the issue

Phenomenal issue.

One of the greatest last pages ever, paired with excellent character growth for Damian, with great art, and you’ve got yourself Batman and Robin 12. It’s a genuine shame Bruce is coming back so soon because Dick as Batman is awesome

Yes, Tim and Damian are written way out of character, but I still enjoyed this issue for Daniel’s incredible writing of Dick

Unexpected but insanely good

Modern classic

One of the greatest single issues DC has ever published. Read it if you don’t believe me

Loved it

“He’s using his own memories as a weapon” Classic Bruce. One of the best modern Batman stories ever.

The pace really picks up this issue

I assume Final Crisis 5 is the calm before the storm, because it’s not as good as issue 4. Jones’ art is immaculate

Final Crisis 6 is the best issue of the series so far. Morrison meshes complex concepts, sci-fi action, and emotional, character driven moments. Batman’s death gets me every time

The story itself of Final Crisis 7 is amazing and definitely worth a 10 ranking but Morrison convolutes it so much with his formatting and switching between flashbacks and present without warning. Still, the art is great and their were some epic moments throughout.

Not the greatest issue, but Snapper is a cool protagonist and it was cool to see the OMACs actually become useful.

Best Final Crisis tie in yet. Clark’s art is phenomenal and I can’t believe I’ve never heard of him before

Weird first issue

Wow this is awful. This issue is very reliant on continuity and focuses way too much time with the Spectre, a character I’ve never grown to like, instead of Renee

This is probably one of the worst series Greg Rucka has written. Only reason to keep reading is Final Crisis implications

Disappointing crossover, which is too bad, because their was a lot of potential

Tim acts so childish this issue and although his anger towards Damian is understandable, he seems so out of his character this issue. Solid art

Really solid issue. Love how Dick let Tim make the right choice himself

Good comic but I’m getting a little tired of Starlin writing the same story over and over again

Starting to really like Starlin’s art, took a little getting used to though.

Death of the New gods 3 is a very interesting issue, but the pace is excruciatingly slow

Faster pace and a great balance of action and mystery

Best issue yet

Fast-paced, funny, and a shocking last page, Batman 655 is a perfect start to Morrison’s run. Kubert’s art is phenomenal

The dynamic between Bruce and Alfred has never been better. I love how Morrison is building off a past story like Son of the Demon

Can’t decide if I like Damian or hate him, but I know that he’s come a looooong way from Batman 657 to the present

Grant Morrison shows off his mastery of the English language, but my poor words per minute ratio made this issue a drag and hard to enjoy for me

Batman 664 is definitely missing the presence of Damian and Talia, but Kubert does a great job at totally changing his art style for this issue

A little bit confusing at times but with creators like Morrison and Kubert, I can confidently expect satisfying payoff

Weird dark and crazy. Liked it!

Intriguing issue, but I wish I was more familiarized with all the characters Morrison throws at us

While last issue was a series of conversations, Batman 668 is where the mystery picks up. Morrison and Williams are in perfect harmony this issue

Great finish to a good arc. Can’t wait to discover more about the Black Glove. Excellent art

Rest In Peace, Bzzd

GLC is a nice and slow issue, but I loved the opening of Guy’s bar and Saarek will be a very important character if he can do what he claims

Wild last page

Solid first issue; I was expecting a lot worse. The art really stands out

Checkmate seems to be making a lot of the same mistakes it made before, but all that aside, Salvation Run improves on its impressive first issues. Joker and Lex are both portrayed well, respectively

If reality TV were a comic....

Even with the writing change, Salvation Run is still consistently good and keeps me on my heels while reading. Again, I love the art

Although its huge cast of characters makes it hard to enjoy, Salvation Run 5 is another success, if only for the plot. The last pages make things a lot more interesting.....

Somehow, someway, Gibbons has made a comic about Kilowog, Vath Sarn, Isamot Kol, and Soranik Natu just as interesting and compelling as a comic about Hal Jordan, John Stewart, Kyle Rayner, and Guy Gardner. Bravo

The pace slows down a lot this issue, and unfortunately Tomasi has picked up on Johns’ habit of over-violence in his comics. Still, Ion vs Superboy-Prime was a fight for the ages and I’m loving Sodom’s origin story

Sinestro. Cyborg-Superman. Amon Sur. Anti-Monitor. Superboy Prime. I got chills reading this issue.

The art of this issue is pretty mediocre, but Marz actually delivered a touching Ion story

I actually feel bad for Hank

I’m not convinced that Superboy-Prime would just let Anti-Monitor off the hook like that. Woods’ art is a little messy and this issue seemed unnecessary, as we’ve gotten Clark’s backstory retold multiple times recently

Wasn’t familiar with Steel before but he’s now one of my favorite characters. I love this series

Adam and Starfire’s space storyline is pretty bland, and probably the only storyline of 52 that I’d say I don’t enjoy.

52 has been amazing so far but I can’t believe that Waid, Rucka, Morrison, and Johns wrote this issue. Awful

Truly astonishing series. Comics would never be the same after this series. Each plot line is interesting and I can’t wait to read more

 52 #15 Mar 30, 2020

The writers are trying so hard to make Renee the DC version of Jessica Jones. Charlie is by far my favorite character, and I dread the issue where something inevitably happens to Isis, sending Black Adam back to his villainous ways

 Crisis Aftermath: The Spectre #1 Mar 29, 2020

The one problem with Johns’ writing is that he incorporates way too much violence into his stories, which is a genuine shame because he writes great dialogue too. I don’t know how I feel about Johns turning Superboy Prime and Alex Luthor evil. One of the best parts about Alex during Crisis on Infinite Earths was that he was the one Luthor who was a good guy. Superboy’s death was heartbreaking. Although Johns doesn’t always seem to understand Batman, he once again nails the dynamic between Bruce and Dick

All in all, no where close to as good as Crisis on Infinite Earths, but man I get the chills every time Joker kills Alex.

Out of all the Infinite Crisis Special issues, Omac Project by Greg Rucka Jesus Saiz night just be my favorite. The art is absolutely incredible, and it’s even a major improvement then what Saiz drew in the OMAC Project limited series. Honestly, this issue has better art then Indinite Crisis itself. The story is quick and not confusing at all, and for one like me who’s not too familiar with Sasha Bordeaux, is a great entry point to the character.

Willingham finds a way to make me care about the supernatural corner of the DC Universe

Love the classic Ollie/Hal teamup

Best issue yet and it’s not even close. Geoff Johns is amazing

I had very high expectations for this issue, so Infinite Crisis 1 is somewhat a let down. The art bothered me. Jimenez’s art isn’t bad per se, but he tries to draw so much into such small spaces, and it got very frustrating to read. You’d DC would give a comic as high caliber as Infinite Crisis the best art possible. Infinite Crisis 1 itself is all over the place, and is frankly more of a prelude issue. Fortunately, possibly the greatest last page in the history of comics made this issue worth it

Infinite Crisis 2 is more focused than the last issue, and it makes a difference. Loved it!

No question Infinite Crisis 3 would be rated a 10 if Johns focused on just Kal-L, Superboy Prime, and Alex’s mission, but unfortunately Johns also focuses on the Donna’s poorly-drawn journey to the center of the universe and Wonder Woman defending Themyscira. Excellent last couple of pages

Art has been steadily improving since issue 1. Props to Johns for making Kal-L, Alex Luthor, and Superboy Prime relatable villains.

Started off slow but Infinite Crisis was worth the wait and lead up.

Harras doesn’t understand Oliver or Bruce at all, but I’m happy JLA 124 focuses more on a smaller group of characters then previous issues

The art is alright and I found Harras’s ending to this arc satisfying. This arc could’ve been shorter though

Wouldn’t be worth reading if not for the Infinite Crisis tie in. Way too many pages

 Green Lantern Corps: Recharge #4 Mar 27, 2020

The art can be confusing at times and Recharge 5 spends too much time on blockbuster action then developing and introducing these new characters. Can’t wait for Green Lantern Corps though

I love the art and the story is great: Superheroes approaches with an interesting moral dilemma. I wish I could take those villains seriously but I just can’t lol

Geoff Johns has always had a problem of making his comics unnecessarily violent but this kinda takes it to far

Johns gets such a kick out of writing Hawkman and I love it. Fabulous last page

Best issue of Crisis on Conscience yet. I loved the fight between Arthur and Despero. The art is pure eye candy. Zatanna is by far my favorite out of all the league members so far, and Johns wrote some great conversations between Diana and Zatanna and Clark and the League.

 JLA #119 Mar 27, 2020

Good writing and great art but the endless bickering is getting really old

Further proof why Dick Grayson is one of DC’s greatest characters

JLA 122 has a dreadfully slow pace, but I enjoyed the mashup of characters. The Key is intriguing but I’m waiting to see how Harras makes his path cross with the Justice League’s

Eh, I could’ve done without that needless Infinite Crisis tie-in, but it’s hard to blame Harras because I’m sure he had no choice in the matter. Honestly, I expected worse from this arc but I’m hoping the pace starts to quicken these next 2 issues. Love the art, except on Supergirl because Derenick draws her like an anime character

2 issues in and Sean Murphy’s Azrael is already better then the original Azrael

Heartbreaking last page. Amazing action and art. Already becoming a modern classic

Perfection

Everything’s really starting to click for this series, and it’s gradually becoming just as fantastic as the original. Sean Murphy is writing and drawing yet another modern masterpiece

Best issue yet by far. I knew a plot twist was becoming but Sean Murphy has blown away my expectations. And don’t get my started on the last 2 pages...

Curse of the White Knight 7 feels a little awkward sitting between the 2 most significant issues of the series. Fortunately, this issue does exactly what it needs to: deals with the death of Joker and sets up the finale. Beautiful art and loved that touching moment between Bruce and Barbara

No words

Well if it isn’t my old arch nemesis: cursive😐😐😐.

Amazing prologue issue for Empyre. Thompson returns to his creation, the Warner family. By the way, the art by Iulis and Rodriguez is simply astounding. I don’t think there’s been better art in a comic all year. Thompson does a great job of simplifying the complex history of the Kree and Skrulls. My expectations were admittedly low for Empyre, but Marvel might be on to something here

While there’s nothing inherently wrong with this issue, it just seemed like a total waste of a Giant-Size issue. There wasn’t enough Kurt and I hated how he had to share the spotlight so much even in his own issue, but I can’t wait to find out what Hickman is planning with this Doug and Warlock stuff. Judging by PoX/HoX, it’s looking like big things are coming for Warlock and the Phalanx

I had low expectations for Hellions 1 after the monstrosity that was Fallen Angels, but Zeb Wells and Segovia knocked this issue out of the park. Mr Sinister is as manipulative as ever. Hellions 1 does a great job of introducing the team and setting up some potentially awesome missions for the Hellions in the future

Great start to the series. The artwork fits the tone well and Thompson seems to really understand Jessica’s character. Classic cliffhanger too

Besides that lame Dr Strange cameo, Blind Spot 2 was just as enjoyable as the first issue. Thompson nails the subtle humor and the mystery is intriguing. Still loving the art and it’s always good to see Elsa Bloodstone

Blind Spot 3 is another solid installment of this series, but there’s a little too much supernatural stuff going on for my liking

Blind Spot 4 is definitely a low point of the series. I’m glad we’re getting somewhere with Dia telling Jessica what’s going on with her powers. I hate when characters are killed and resurrected but that’s exactly what this entire mystery is all about, so it kind of annoys me. Plus, was that groping scene actually necessary. What did it add to the story? Peter’s reaction to MJ dying is completely unrealistic. The last page reveals the true villain: evil Jared. Pretty underwhelming revelation that was.

I agree with Jared

I actually really, really liked the final issue of Jessica Jones: Blind Spot. The tone is a lot lighter, and Thompson perfectly highlights the relationship between Luke and Jessica, something no one has been able to do since Bendis. I loved Thor’s cameo, although I find this new Jen very irritating. This was a very cute story with one killer plot twist.

Terrific art and awesome sci-fi action. Rann-Thanagar War is a poor man’s Annihilation, but that’s ok considering how fantastic Annihilation was

Honestly, with the amount of moving parts happening in this war, Rann-Thanagar War 6 was super rushed and cramped, and could’ve easily benefited from a couple extra issues. The art was consistently good, but this was a very unsatisfying ending to a solid mini series
8.0
 Revenge of the Cosmic Ghost Rider #4 Mar 25, 2020

Wolverine 2 is a terrific comic. Although Kubert’s panel layouts are a little weird, the art itself is just as grim as last issue. Jeff Bannister is one of my favorite new characters, and Percy seems to get Logan well

Very satisfying for an issue of X-Men to finally be wrapping up some plot points rather then setting up for a future story. Empyre is coming next issue, so a Krakoan-Brood alliance is a very significant factor in the upcoming war between Earth and the Krew-Skrull Alliance

Terry Dodson’s art is terrible, which is a shame because I really love the covers. Anyways, thank you Chip Zdarsky for this reminder on how badass and superior Doctor Doom is, because no matter how many times it’s been proven, I always need a reminder every now and then. Doctor Doom is the only character in this whole comic who’s acting sensible, and I love him telling Charles that he’s worked for his power, Charles was just born with it. Zdarsky worded that perfectly. Best issue of the series so far

Good start. Loving the campy vibe

Super underrated series. I love how the POV changes every issue and Justiano’s art is phenomenal and unique

Good issue but not a very satisfying ending. Makes me want to go read all 25 issues of Shadowpact

Sorta underwhelming for a creative team of this caliber

Super intriguing first issue. Great art as well.

Rucka perfectly balances Sasha’s storyline with Michael’s

Bruce messed up big time

The final battle felt kinda rushed, but really interesting last page

Awesome first issue. I’m glad some of the more minor characters in the DC universe are getting attention. The art is fabulous

 Green Lantern (2005) #4 Mar 22, 2020

Art is magnificent. Love the horror elements

Green Lantern 6 is the best issue of the series so far. Bianchi’s art is tremendous and her style fits this comic very well. Johns brings everything together and the fight between Black Hand and Hal was eye candy.

Grant Morrison sure knows how to start a story. Williams’ art brings this issue to a whole nother level. Can’t wait to see where this goes

Morrison gave us so much great lead up that it was probably going to be impossible to deliver a satisfying conclusion, but Seven Soldiers 1 is very underwhelming. The final battle seems rushed and a number of the main characters don’t even get a proper conclusion to their arcs. The art isn’t as good as it was in the prologue either. While Seven Soldiers was solid, it certainly isn’t one of Morrison’s best work

 Seven Soldiers of Victory: Bulleteer #1 Mar 21, 2020

Great issue to read if Seven Soldiers is confusing you. Art is good as well

Morrison almost flawlessly takes a dive into what it means to be a superhero.

Wow. It’s truly amazing what Grant Morrison can do in just 1 issue. Jake has so much layers to his character already, and Stewart’s art perfectly fits Morrison’s tone. Guardian 1 is a perfect collaboration between writer and artist. The subway pirates are awesome

Underground pirate subway wars. All I have to say

 Seven Soldiers of Victory: Guardian #3 Mar 21, 2020

I’m loving how the series subtly tie together but I’m gonna need a lot of payoff in Seven Soldiers 1

Klarion the Witch Boy 1 is weird. Like really really really weird. I like it. Not a fan of the art though. Can’t wait to see how everything ties together

Klarion has escaped Croatoan with the help of Ebeneezer Badde, and is now wandering the sewers of New York. I love the subtle ways this issue ties in with Guardian 2, as Horugal is hit by No-Beard’s train. The art vastly improves and I can’t wait for next issue

Another odd Seven Soldiers issue. A lot of confusion concepts were introduced but I did like reading Klarion pal around with the Deviants
8.0
 Seven Soldiers of Victory: Klarion The Witch Boy #4 Mar 21, 2020

Ugh. This art is awful. The story itself is confusing and doesn’t seem to tie in to Seven Soldiers at all.

The art vastly improves with Williams and Patton on the job. While this series hasn’t really connected to Seven Soldiers yet, I’m much more interested in what’s going on with Darkseid and the New Gods

Brutal

The plot twist really makes me wonder why this series was even written. Added little/nothing to the overall arc of Seven Soldiers and sense everything in this series happened in Shilo’s vision, nothing actually happened in this comic. Maybe it will have ramifications later in Final Crisis with Metron and the new gods, but right now, Mister Miracle 4 is a head scratcher

Shining Knight 1 is further proof that Grant Morrison is one of the most extraordinary and unique writers, not just comic writers, of all time. The art matches perfectly and Morrison somehow makes me interested in Sir Justin and good ol Vanguard

The pace is a little slower than I would like, but Shining Knight 2 was a delight to read
8.0
 Seven Soldiers of Victory: Shining Knight #3 Mar 21, 2020

Weird and totally unnecessary plot twist by making Ystin a girl

This may just be the best first issue out of the 4 miniseries of Seven Soldiers. Sook delivers and Morrison makes magic interesting for me, even though I usually find it boring

Way too much talking. Also, very confusing dialogue. The art is still great and I loved the last page.

Again, a little bit confusing and a lot of talking, but I love Sook’s art and the plot twist near the end was surprising

Probably the best of the 1st 4 Seven Soldiers miniseries

Coming in, the only GL I’ve ever read was Secret Origin, so needless to say I’m a little confused on what’s going on. Sciver’s art is absolutely fantastic.

 Green Lantern: Rebirth #5 Mar 20, 2020

Johns set ups the next era of Green Lantern perfectly this issue, and my main complaint is Johns’ treatment of Batman

This is so weird but Morrison always nails Batman. Not a fan of the art.

A little too much focus on the Ultramarines and not enough on the Justice League. I love the way Morrison writes Batman

Good ending to a good arc but nothing groundbreaking and a little disappointing for a Morrison comic

 Green Lantern (2005) #35 Mar 19, 2020

Ugh. Out of every current Dawn of X comic, Excalibur May just be my least favorite. Howard’s writing is very unfocused and concepts come and go so much from month to month that’s very confusing. Betsy is a bland protagonist and Howard’s writing of Brian should be considered a crime. Apocalypse is only interesting for so long until Howard should actually start using him. Rictor is one of the most interesting members of the team, yet he barely says a word in Excalibur 9. The Coven Akkaba seems like a pointless and weak antagonist, and no different from the multitude of new organizations that have sprung up in the world of X: XENO, muerte verde, and Orchis, just to name a few. Still, I’m liking what Howard is doing with Lady Saturnyne.

I think Identity Crisis and all its tie ins would be much better without all the retcons. No matter how much Johns tries, I still cannot take the Top seriously. I did like seeing Zatanna team up with Wally and the art was beautiful as ever.

Wally and Linda’s long overdue reunion was very satisfying to read. They really are one of DC’s most consistent couples. The conversation between Bruce and Wally was perfectly dialogued, and the Rogues’ funeral for Digger was a very nice scene as well.

Sharp, crisp, colorful art. The story itself is not too complicated and a life-saver for guys like me who aren’t familiar with Green Lantern. Loving it so far though

Johns writes the perfect Hap Jordan. Reis draws the perfect Hal Hordan. That’s a good way to describe this issue: perfect.

10
 Green Lantern (2005) #31 Mar 18, 2020

Even though we all knew it was coming, the death of Jack Drake was so much more heartbreaking than I expected. Probably even sadder than the death of Sue Dibny. I really liked the moment between Ray and Jean and my one complaint from this issue is that Firestorm’s death was very unnecessary and definitely overkill.

While Identity Crisis has retcons galore, it’s still an absolute blast to read. Morales’ art is fantastic and I can’t help but be drawn into the mystery. The last couple pages were insane.

Such a sad and depressing comic; DC’s equivalent to Avengers Disassembled. Identity Crisis was very realistic, if there we’re superheroes in the real world I feel like something like this could happen. Jean’s motives were kind of iffy though. I find it hard to believe Brad Meltzer couldn’t come up with a better motive for Jean killing Sue and Jack.

There is way too much going on in JSA 67 for me to get interested in one single plot. Gibbons art is very good

Manhunter 4 is excellent. Jesus Saiz is the perfect artist for this book, and even though not a lot happened this issue, especially regarding Kate’s life, I still found this new character very intriguing

Kate is a lot more like able in Manhunter 5 then in previous issues. She reminds me a lot of Jessica Jones.

The Champions return in this one-shot and I didn’t notice how much I missed them until now. Jacinto’s art lights up every page and Ewing seems to understand these characters as much as Zub did. The law itself seems pretty dumb and would never actually happen in real life. I loved the action as well. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in the different series launching soon

Spider Woman 1 is super hero comics done right. Karla Pacheco’s humor was absolute amazing and every joke landed. Perez’s art is top tier and it honestly shocked me. I’ve never heard of Karla Pacheco before but this could end up being on of Jessica Drew’s greatest story. Great action. Great humor. Great art. Great characterization. Horrible costume

Not quite as good as last issue, but the art continues to be stunning and Aaron injects each page with a beautiful sense of mythology and wonder. Wonderful narrating as well.

X-Force 9 is a true return to form by Percy and Cassara. The tone is a lot happier as the issue opens with a party on Krakoa. Domino is in a much better state mentally, Scott and Jean are flirting, and Logan is bonding with Daken and Gabby in a hilarious yet disgusting way (Krakoan roulette!). Logan, Quentin, and Domino are dispatched to Terra Verde and discover that the palace of the president has been overrun by telefloronics. Enter: Black Tom. Great issue with stunning art and, unlike some Dawn of X comics, real and interesting villains.

Flash 213 is obviously filler/setting up other issues, but it’s still pretty good. Props to Geoff Johns for getting me to take the Turtle somewhat seriously

Absolutely fantastic tie in to Identity Crisis. Johns was playing with my emotions this issue because the interactions between Oliver, Wally, Bart, and Iris were fantastic. Porter’s art vastly improves this issue as well

Usually I hate when comics to retcons like this, but Flash 215 wasn’t bad

Absolutely fantastic issue by Meltzer and Morales. Sue’s death was absolutely heartbreaking, as well as the conversation between Ralph and Firehawk. The art was incredible and Meltzer does a great job of reeling in the whole DCU

Identity Crisis 2 is nowhere close to the greatness of last issue. The pacing slows down a lot and this issue spends an agonizing amount of time in flashbacks. Make no mistake though, Identity Crisis still has that amazing cinematic vibe.

Slade is so badass

It’s super obvious that Tim’s dad is going to be attacked next, but despite this Meltzer still keeps me hooked. Tons of action, interesting ethical dilemmas, and a shocking last page make Identity Crisis 4 a great comic

Surprisingly great

Manhunter 2 is a real disappointment. It’s only the second issue and we’re already reading about Kate’s family life. It’s not bad, per se, but we’ve just met Kate as a character and it feels rushed to see her already interacting with her son like this. The crime noir element from last issue is nearly gone, and I wish we got more POV from the police detectives. Art is still great

I really am starting to dislike Kate Spencer, but I think that’s more or less Andreyko’s point: this is a hero you DON’T want to root for. The art is beautiful and nails the crime noir element. Excited to see how this ties in more to Identity Crisis

I’ve never been a fan of the way Aaron portrays these Avengers, but he nails the villains. Absolutely nails them. Killer last page that proves that Avengers is still one of the most interesting Marvel comics month in month out.

Don’t be fooled, Cable 1 is a good comic, very good in fact. Though I much prefer the og Cable, young Cable is still somewhat fun. Pixie and Armor complement young Cable perfectly. The interaction between Scott and Cable was also written perfectly by Duggan. I loved the inclusion of the space knights and Cable 1 seems to be starting the journey to X of Swords. Noto’s art is incredible and I’m glad he’s back on an X book.

New Mutants 9 works really well. Now that everyone is back on Earth, the pace is slower which I like. The cast is trimmed a little this issue, and characters get more time to shine, like Dani and Boom-Boom. Very good issue that perfectly balanced Bobby in space and the New Mutants on Earth

Sif is such a great character that Aaron vastly underused. She was very badass this issue and hopefully Cates is smart enough to write in Thor and Sif getting back together, because they work much better than Thor and Jane. Loki’s brief but important appearance is by far my favorite moment of the series so far. Cates’ 4 issue Thor run is already the stuff of legend

I’m in awe. Best comic in the industry right now no question.

Issues like this is what Black Panther and the Agents of Wakanda was meant to be. Gorilla-Man, Ka-Zar, Bruu, American Eagle, Fat Cobra, and Mockingbird finally step out of the shadow of T’Challa and Okoye, who appear briefly. Dragons are attacking Avengers mountain and Gorilla-Man leads the defense while T’Challa and Okoye meet with the League of the Realms. The Asgard scenes are beautifully drawn. The action scenes at Avengers mountain are awesome and Zub perfectly nails Gorilla Man’s humor. The last page reveals of Fin Fang Fool was awesome and hilarious. I was close to dropping this series a couple months ago, but it’s quickly flying up my buy list.

Doctor Doom 6 is nearly impossible to review. Kang’s origins are so confusing and convoluted that I’ve just stopped trying. Doom’s no costume is super ugly and him and Kang are extremely nerfed. On the other hand, the interactions between Doom and Kang are fantastic. Like FANTASTIC. The art is great except on Doom’s costume and I love the road trip vibe. Cantwell is doing great for his first big 2 comic

While I’m not a fan of Howard’s writing of Cullen Bloodstone, Excalibur has found a nice little groove. The plot is far less complicated than previous issues but that also makes this comic so much easier to read monthly. The art is excellent. I wish Rogue and Gambit did more. Apocalypse is still the best part of this comic

Wow. Marauders is easily the most controversial X-Book. While I enjoyed Emma subbing for Kitty as the main protagonist, I was really hoping for progress on the Kitty subplot. Emma and the Cuckoos tricking Yellowjacket was pretty cool but I thought his stat inside Pyro was rather short. The entertaining info pages make this comic so much better. Not a horrible comic but not what it could be.

Guice’s art is great and the origins of Kulan Gath are truly terrifying and well written. The cover is obviously clickbait; unnecessary clickbait at that. The Elektra-Doctor Strange affair sub plot is completely unnecessary and adds absolutely nothing to the story

New Mutants 8 is obviously filler, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. I was very happy to see Magma getting some attention once again, and I loved the scene between Shaw and the Costa Perditan gang. Shaw has really grown on me since the beginning of Dawn of X. Unfortunately, Failla’s art is very sloppy and this issue feels so uncomplicated and underwhelming compared to the Hickman issues.

I think my expectations for this series were a bit too high. I’m not the biggest fan of the art but I do love the coloring. All 4 of the members of the FF felt very out of character this issue and this issue also had some very slow pacing. Doctor Doom is written tremendously by Zdarsky and is easily the best part of the issue. Solid comic but nothing incredible

Aaron gives a great issue of Tony struggling to survive in 1 million BC and continues to do a great job of building up one of his main villains: Mephisto. Unfortunately, it’s not vintage Jason Aaron without a major retcon. Howard Stark being a devil worshiper all along and him promising Mephisto his son Tony is such an idiotic retcon and keeps this issue from a much higher rating. I hope Aaron retcons this retcon.

Fantastic Four: Grimm Noir is a very, very pleasant surprise. Ron Garney’s art is incredible and his black and white depiction of the Thing immediately gave me parallels of Frank Miller. Garney truly is a living legend. Duggan presents a thrilling mystery and a truly intimidating D’Spayre. My one complaint is that the mystery itself would be lot better if this issue was longer/more stretched out. Duggan is on a hot streak as of late, and that continues in this one-shot

I know this is supposed to be a homage to Morrison’s New X-Men 121 but I was very excited for the interactions between Jean and Emma that I was expecting. Instead, I basically got a collection of images with no dialogue at all. Make no mistake, this is one beautiful comic though. This week’s DoX comics pretty much confirm the polyamory between Jean, Scott, and Logan.

X-Force 8 is the worst issue of the series yet. Domino is such a boring character to me, even more so because there’s such a fun take on the character in Deadpool 2. I hate how depressed Colossus is written, and I can’t even fathom why people like this Colossus and Domino flirting thing. Percy writes both main characters super depressed, and even the art is lacking this issue. I hope next issue’s reveal of XENO’s mastermind can bring this series back to it’s former glory.

X-Men 7, and this series as a whole, is just completely unlike anything in comics previously. This issue left me pondering and disturbed at the same time. The ethical issues that are presented to the reader each and every issue are game-changing. Yu’s art is immaculate, and the conversation between Logan and Scott is perfectly written, and even somewhat disturbing in itself. Every character is written differently and interesting, and Hickman makes me question and review every decision in this issue. Fantastic

Joker: Killer Smile 1 is insane. It’s like nothing I’ve ever read before. Lemire and Sorrentino are proving to be one of the best creative teams in the industry.

Joker: Killer smile 2 is pure, untamed madness. This issue was insane. This issue was creepy. I’ve never been more deeply disturbed while reading a comic than when I read Joker: Killer Smile 2. Fantastic work.

Lemire’s dialogue, plot, and narration are perfectly in sync to create a wild psychological thriller taken to the next level by Andrea Sorrentino’s art.

Marauders 8 is a very solid issue and a huge improvement from last issue. Duggan finally cuts to the chase and the Marauders find out about Kitty’s death. Bobby unleashes his full power, something of a rarity even though he’s an omega level mutant. Caselli’s art is great as usual.

New Mutants 7 is a solid finale to this series’ opening arc. I wasn’t a fan of that corny recap page, but other than that I love Hickman’s portrayal of Bobby and Sam. Bobby and Sam’s friendship carries this issue. However, Hickman does a horrible job at writing Wolfsbans, and the New Mutants’ journey to space does kinda feel pointless. Great art though.

Emotionally-fueled flashbacks, and extended fight scene, and good art make for a great issue, but nothing spectacular.

A lot like the 2003 cartoon

Titans: Burning Rage is like drinking water. Water doesn’t taste bad but it doesn’t really taste good either, but it can mean all the difference in certain situations. Considering the situation the TT comics are in these days, this is one of those times.

 Titans: Burning Rage #6 Feb 21, 2020

Tremendous end to a decent series. Titans: Burning Rage ends one a high note with 7 being far and wide the best issue of the series.

Valkyrie: Jane Foster 8 is the best issue of the series yet. Some awesome guest stars plus a classic Jason Aaron-Asgardian plot makes for a great comic. Cafu’s art fits the tone perfectly. Can’t wait for next issue.

After 6 extremely long years, we finally have a Logan solo series again. Percy, Kubert, and Bogdanovic don’t disappoint with this oversized first issue. Percy writes in plenty of bloodiness but also does a great job of writing in Logan’s humane side as well. The art is tremendous in both stories, especially Kubert’s. My sole complaint is that the 2nd story tries way too hard to make Omega Red feel like a meaningful character.

Average. Nothing really bad but nothing really good, just average.

Issue 6 is a huge step down after a great issue 5. Nick Fury decoys/LMDs have been used so much in the past few years and it’s just such an used up trope. Deadpool was hilarious and Zub did a great job of not going over the top with the Deadpool stuff. T’Challa and Okoye were great but I hope that Zub lets the rest of the team shine a little more in future issues. My main complaint is that this issue relies way to heavily on presuming the reader has read the Liveswires series from 15 years ago. I haven’t read that comic, so here we are.

First off, Zircher again knocks it out of the park with his fantastic art. The dynamic between Stephen, Doom, and Conan was great and I’m sad to see them split up so early. I love the last page and Kulan Gath makes for a great villain. Poor Doctor Voodoo just can’t catch a break.

Thor 3 is an all out 3-way cosmic slug fest between Thor, Galactus, and Beta Ray Bill. Also, the last page promises to make it a 4-way next issue with the return of Sif. What more could you ever want?

Excalibur 7 isn’t getting a ton of love, but for me it’s on of the series’ strongest issues. The pacing by Howard was exceptional, and this team is finally starting to feel like a team. —A— or whatever his name is, is extremely interesting and I love his dynamic with Remy. I love that Howard brought back the Warwolves, who’re an old Claremont creation that was one of the original Excalibur’s first enemies. I was also pleased with the return of Cullen Bloodstone. The characters from Avengers Arena are criminally underused. Unfortunately, thanks to a last second twist, Bloodstone seems to be the antagonist for Excalibur 8. A couple more issues like this, though, and I’ll start to really feel confident in this book.

X-Force 7 did a lot of things right, but ultimately isn’t as good as some of the previous issues have been. Percy writes a great Domino, even though I’m less impressed with his interpretation of Piotr. I also loved the action scenes, especially the ski battle at the end between Domino and the assassin. The data pages were pretty horrible this issue, but overall the good far outways the bad. Great art too.

Jonathan Hickman not only continues to prove that he’s the best comic creator right now, but also that he’s one of the greatest comic creators ever. He uses a perfect mix of insane sci-fi, interesting plots and stories, and pure character moments. I’m not familiar with Buffagni but he did a fantastic job this issue. This Mystique spotlight was one of those things that I didn’t know I needed so bad. I cannot wait for what Hickman has in store. Possibly the best issue yet.

Cantwell does a great job of juggling around so many plot lines and characters. Doctor Doom 5 would’ve gotten a much better rating if Cantwell wasn’t on gas while writing those last 3 pages. Like what in the world was he thinking during those last 3 pages?

I don’t know what in the world is happening with Kitty, but Callisto makes a solid substitute protagonist. Emma is awesome as usual. Pretty eventful issue that I enjoyed but I wish Duggan hadn’t ignored last issue’s last page. Love Caselli’s art

Savage Avengers does nothing to advance Duggan’s grand story forward, but it does do a solid job of adding depth to it. My main complaint is that Krakoa is finally visited in a non X-Comic, and we got no action whatsoever.

Spider Man and Venom: Double Trouble 4 is a very unsatisfying conclusion to an otherwise solid mini series. Tamaki tries to do far too much in one issue, and I think it would be a lot better if there was an issue 5 to stretch this out.

Ahh Reed never truly learns does he? Anyways, I thought Terry Dodson’s art was very underwhelming and I expected better, but the story itself was great. I’m not a fan of Franklin being older now, but that was a Slott move and so I won’t dock this issue’s rating for that. I love the respect for continuity with the connection back to Fantastic Four vs X-Men. Great issue

Super cliche and poorly written character development for Yondu. I did like the super wacky cosmic action in this series though. Marker and Thompson try way too hard to make this Yondu into MCU Yondu

I had very low expectations coming in to New Mutants 6 because I thought the last 2 issues written solely by Brisson were underwhelming. New Mutants 6 blew away my expectations. Brisson and Flaviano drew me into this issue, and there were some great action scenes. The stakes are raised and a twist ending sets up possibly a future storyline when the siblings change Beak and Angel’s memories. Tumolo killing Beak’s parents was heartbreaking. Brisson does a great job of setting up future storylines, with the Bohom Cartel data page and Armor warning the siblings that Beak and Angel will find out what they did.

I gave Thor 1 a 10, and yet Thor 2 manages to be even better. This issue is really an 11/10. Nic Klein is producing the greatest art of his life and Donny Cates’ narration takes Thor to a whole new level. Last issue I was disappointed that Galactus was World Devourer Galactus and not Life Bringer Galactus, but Thor 2 has reminded me of how awesome World Devourer Galactus is. The cross-company Justice League cameo early in the issue iOS the stuff that I live for. Seriously though, Cates’ narration is heavenly. Can’t wait for Beta Ray Bill next issue

Another incredible issue of X-Force; Dawn of X’s 2nd best comic. Cassara draws the telefloronics so terrifyingly, it’s spectacular to look at. I liked the spotlight on Hank, but the only reason this issue is a 9.5 instead of a 10 is because of the last couple pages. Hank commits torture, memory-changing, and murder throughout the issue, even though he lectured Scott about doing that kinda stuff in the previous incarnation of X-Force

I loved Yeinil Yu’s art in the first 4 issues of this series, but RB Silva was born to draw this book. Hickman gives the spotlight to Laura, Darwin, and Synch this issue. I was especially glad to see Synch play such a large role in the main X-book. Hickman brings back a new villain in the Vault, and it’s just awesome. Watching Hickman subtlety set up this grand plan of his is absolutely fascinating. He’s absolutely the best writer right now. Incredible

Avengers 30 is the issue I’ve been waiting for. Everything finally comes together with this Starbrand arc and Aaron and McGuinness write and draw an awesome, epic, 3-way battle between the Avengers, the Heralds, and Gladiator. I also thought it was awesome how the Heralds act as the 3 kings for the new Starbrand. Perfect issue and a return to form

I don’t know what to write at this point. Absolutely awful

First off, I’m a little disappointed on how stereotypical Howard wrote Rogue and Gambit this issue. I feel like it’s such a cliche that major comic couples don’t have kids, at least for Marvel. Anyways, while I don’t find Betsy and Brian that interesting, it’s Apocalypse and Jamie that make this comic so extraordinary. Apocalypse is so fascinating and Jamie is getting more attention in this comic than he has had in years. The art by To wasn’t too good this issue but I’ll keep coming back as long as Apocalypse continues to plan and scheme

Plain and simple: Marauders 6 is a fantastic comic. This is the first issue of the series where I truly feel like Bobby, Ororo, and Kitty all did something meaningful. Sebastian Shaw is written as an incredible villain, even though I dislike him as a character. Duggan plays the long game with Yellowjacket camping out inside Pyro, and this issue’s data page is probably the funniest data page of Dawn of X. After the last page with Kitty’s apparent death, I’m super excited for next issue where we will hopefully learn more about why Kitty can’t enter Krakoa and if she can be resurrected by the Five or not

Avengers 29 is basically one big fight scene. McGuinness’ art is decent but not my favorites, and I feel like the fight scenes went on way too long. As usual, though, this latest installment of Avengers was packed with some awesome moments, including Blade combining with Boy-Thing and War Widow kicking ass. Unfortunately, Jason Aaron writes extremely bland dialogue for this issue and I could not care less about this new Starbrand. Silver Surfer fighting the Avengers was great but the overall pace was just too slow

Hopeless and Hepburn once again deliver an excellent issue of Revenge of the Cosmic Ghost Rider. In issue 2, Cammi steals the show. She hasn’t done a lot lately so it was great to see her back in the spotlight. I loved the mind boggling space violence and the Cosmic King is a fantastic villain
9.0
 Valkyrie: Jane Foster #5 Jan 18, 2020

Best comic of the week. Valkyrie and the medic of Marvel travel to Death’s domain to save death, and it made for one fantastic story. I have no doubt that Valkyrie: Jane Foster 7 is the best issue of the series so far. Each character was fabulously written and guest artist Pere Perez blow my mind with his art. Pure eye candy. This was such a tragic issue and I wish Aaron could write stuff this deep in Avengers.

I’m super glad that Rogue is finally awake but I can’t get myself to like this series as much as a lot of other people do. There’s no clear purpose and this series, this issue especially, has terrible pacing. I like Hickman’s take on Apocalypse much more than Howard’s

Fallen Angels still has a TON of issues as a comic, but issue 5 is definitely the bright spot. The art improved and Hill’s dialogue is infinitely easier to understand and less over dramatic. Apoth is still a horrible villain but Magneto and Sinister were awesome this issue

“F**k or fight” Lmao this isn’t your dad’s Illyana. Gotta love Hickman

Savage Avengers 9 is very light on dialogue, whick perfectly highlights Patrick Zircher’s art. This issue is beautifully violent and has great action. I was disappointed on how fast this issue retconned last issue’s cliffhanger (and how predictably), but Stephen becoming Iron Mage makes up for it all

I have a feeling Strikeforce 5 will read a lot better in trade, but for a story with so many layers and elements, it just gets so confusing when there’s a whole month in between issues. I was honestly very confused and I’m considering dropping this title and just waiting for the trades. Beautiful art though

Excellently violent and beautifully drawn, X-Force is one of the best Dawn of X titles right now. Domino and Logan are written magnificently, and I loved when Forge squished Logan together. The moral dilemma that Domino faced made for a great read

Horrible art and pretty boring but I liked Yondu’s origin

Good but nothing exceptional. Cheap though, which is awsome

Lemire writes and draws a cute but light little tale

Bizarro is that one villain i just always love and feel bad for

Neat little plot twist but extremely boring before the last 3 pages.

Although probably easy to write, this was still a touching and wholesome Superman comic. Consider me impressed

Awful comic. Huge retcon as the original Captain Marvel is resurrected. Then you have the Sentry, who’s also in this issue, as he’s basically a walking retcon. No story whatsoever: just 2 separate monologues by 2 characters who have no right to be in the Marvel Universe at all right now

Truly a beautiful beginning. I was expecting Soviet Superman to be an awful human being but I was pleasantly surprised that he wasn’t

I thought last issue was perfect and Red Son 2 is way better. Easily one of the best Batman/Superman showdowns ever

No words. Phenomenal. Better than All-Star Superman

One word to describe this issue: fun

Brubaker’s ability to make me care about a character that I know next to nothing about is incredible and one of his best traits as a writer. Brubaker and Samnee combine their talents and deliver an amazing gritty and noir one-shot

While Doctor Doom 4 is in no way a bad comic, I couldn’t fully enjoy it and here’s why. Throughout this issue, Doom and Kang have a lengthy dialogue, and Kang tries to argue Doom is god and Doom says why he isn’t. It’s an extremely well written conversation, but unfortunately, the reader didn’t know it was Kang and Doom having this conversation until the very last page. For 21 pages, the conversation was great but I had no idea who was saying it. It was extremely frustrating

Beta Ray Bill as a character is awesome as usual but I found the art mediocre and the story lacking

This. This is Superman. In every single Superman origin I’ve read, they’ve each been great but there’s been at least 1 little thing wrong. But not here. Johns and Frank knocked it out of the park

Johns understands Clark so well. Frank’s drawing of the Legion is pure eye candy. Could not live this series more

Flawless

Lois and Lex made this series oh so much better. Incredible

Another perfect issue

All in all, my favorite Superman origin comic ever. Thanks for the ride Geoff and Gary

Absolutely fabulous first issue from Cates and Klein. Klein excels at drawing Thor and his world. Cates delivers an opening issue that has reeled me in for the rest of the run. My only complaint can be is that Galactus shows up way too often

Probably Marvel’s best Christmas comic to date. Loved the last page between Namor and Bucky. A true shame that Marvel didn’t let Toro Rest In Peace

Marini knocks it out if the park with his beautiful art, and the story is very intriguing. For a newcomer to the big 2, Marini does a great job of writing the Joker

Tremendous plot twist to a simple yet beautiful Batman tale

First of all this art is divine. Also, Emma makes every panel shes in so much better. “I wouldve utterly destroyed you” is one of Emma’s best quotes ever. Ugh I really wish Bobby and Ororo would play a bigger part of this comic though. Also, why did Gerry have to go ahead and remind us Bobby is gay. The Hellfire Club is still awesome. Didn’t enjoy Ororo killing that guy though. Like a couple weeks ago when Kitty chopped off a guys arm, its always been unlike these characters to be this violent, but in the end, I think this is what Dawn of X is all about: Taking these characters where they’ve never gone before

Hilarious

Apocalypse in a suit🤩🤩. Anyways, X-Men 4 was light on action but somehow had me absorbed from start to finish. Unbelievably good.

The art is great and I love the horror theme but the narration is a little much

I want to like this more, I really do, especially considering its written and drawn by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo. I love the horror and supernatural elements but I can’t help but feel that Batman: Damned 2 would be so much better without the heavy narration.

Again, I thought the art was great and I loved the supernatural and dark elements. I did think it was pretty obvious that Azzarello tried to make this a little too dark because it was the first book of Black Label, but that didn’t affect the overall story too much. The narration makes this comic much more harder to follow than it had to be, and I think I will like Damned better after a reread or two

An absolute masterpiece. Dark and gritty, I’m sure this will resonate with me for a long long time. There are so many memorable and quotable moments. In my opinion, this may just be better than the Killing Joke. Incredible art be Bermejo as well

An awesome and intriguing dive into the world of Lex Luthor. Azzarello writes Lex’s god complex amazingly. Love the art too

Lex shines when the spotlight is all on him. Azzarello again writes perfect and compelling narration and Bermejo’s art matches the tone well

Another incredible issue by these 2 creators. I’ve never wanted to root for Lex Luthor more, this is a perfect template of how he should be written. The art and writing are perfection.

More of the same from Azzarello and Bermejo!

Wow. Those last 3 or so pages were outstanding. Greatest Lex Luthor comic ever in my opinion

This should have been free but here we are paying 10 dollars for Incoming 1. It basically just catches us up what’s happened in the Marvel Universe this year and what’s going to come next year, yet it’s all so boring. Ewing and his squad of writers failed to get me hooked with this detective story. The revelation that the Skrulls and Kree were the culprits was underwhelming, and although I think Hulkling is an interesting character with a ton of potential, that last page some how got me a little less excited for Empyre. I mean seriously, another Marvel event with the Kree and Skrulls? It’s getting to be an old trope. I still think Empyre can be a good event, as War of the Realms and Absolute Carnage were fantastic events, but so far it does not look promising

This issue literally shot my back in time. Pure nostalgia

This is easily the highlight of Javier Rodriguez’s career. Love Waid’s annotations too

My one problem was that Ultron was barely mentioned once and that his origin wasn’t even covered. Beautiful story between Galactus and Franklin. Never thought I’d be so emotional to see Galactus die. This is the perfect comic because, for some of us, this is a summarization of the greatest story ever told: the story of Marvel.

Comics like this are like drugs to me, I can get high on lore written as good as this. I’ve used the term “mastery of continuity” many times in my reviews before but Mark Waid is the original master of continuity and I doubt any other writer could pull this off. Javier Rodriguez fits so much on one page and this issue is just a page for page spectacular read

God, I love this comic. What a way to celebrate Marvel’s 80th. Mark Waid is a true gem to this world

20000+ comics crammed into 6 issues? Yes please

Zdarsky has crafted such an interesting and he writes an intriguing Namor. Unfortunately Jim Hammond isn’t used to his full potential

When this series was first announced, I never expected it to have a plot this complex, this many convincing moral dilemmas, the great art, and the drama all rolled into one, yet Invaders by Chip Zdarsky and Butch Guice is just that. Zdarsky continues to be one of Marvel’s most underrated writers

While definitely not perfect, Invaders does a ton of things right. The last page of this issue might be one of the best moments of the series. Great art.

At its core, Invaders is a book about Steve and Namor, and Invaders 11 exposes that dynamic to its fullest extent, as Steve and Namor are stranded together on an island without their powers. Tremendous penultimate issue that successfully sets up the series finale

Invaders 12 did it’s job: the world was saved, Machan was defeated, the Sunken are human again, and yet Namor hasn’t changed too much so much so that Aaron can still use him in his Avengers book

Harleen 1 is an absolutely incredible comic. Sejic’s art is beautiful and pure eye candy. I love a Harley origin done right, and so far, Harleen is just that. Sejic writes perfect dialogue and I was completely wrapped into the issue, never once bored or distracted.

Harley Quinn is finally getting the origin she deserves. Sejic’s portrayal of Joker is fantastically terrifying and he’s the ultimate unreliable narrator. Such a great comic, one of the best Harley stories ever

Harleen is a very special comic. It perfectly portrays Harley Quinn, Joker, and Harvey Dent, among many other DC mainstays. The art is unique and pure sex. I wasn’t the biggest Harley fan coming in but you bet I am coming out. Joker still managed to steal the show, by the way

Flawless first issue from Zdarsky and Guice. Namor has always been one of Marvel’s most underrated characters, and Invaders 1 shines the spotlight on him perfectly. Zdarsky flawlessly weaves many different story points, which writers rarely even attempt to day these days. Invaders 1 was a pure joy to read. I also liked the call backs to all the other series too

Namor you’ve been one of my favorites for years but if you kill that family I’ll fucking hate you :)

Invaders was a beautiful issue. Zdarsky let’s lesser characters shine like Randall and Nay which leads to one of the most emotional issues I’ve ever read. Namor is still perfectly written. Zdarsky does a great job of giving these characters real and relatable emotions.

Namor is one of the most intriguing characters in all of Marvel and I just want nothing more than for him to get a happy ending. I always love some Charles Xavier too.

Zdarksy has mastered writing Namor’s rightful rage. Namor is the type of villain you root for, for me at least, because I know a lot of fans dislike him. For me, this is a better Cap book than what Coates is writing in Cap’s main ongoing. It did seem like a stretch though that Namor would decapitate Jim with no hesitation like that though.

A great finale that makes this arc feel oddly a lot like Winter Soldier.

Seems like Zdarsky watched Civil War and got a hard on with all this Steve/Tony/Bucky tension lol. Anyways this was a good issue but like shouldn’t Toro be dead or at least 85ish years old? I mean he was like 12 during World War II and he looks 50 present day so a little confusing.

Excalibur 4 was a little all over the place, but overall a good issue nonetheless. Apocalypse might be the most interesting character in Marvel right now, and I love watching his plan come to fruition. Jamie Braddock is also awesome and criminally underrated

Incredibly confusing. Horrible character writing. Bad art. Slow pace. Kwannon is an absolute jerk to Laura. Laura is written so out of character so much so that she is unrecognizable. Why is Cable even in this.

While I wish Ororo and Bobby would have a larger role in this series, Duggan writes a mean Kitty Pryde. Seriously, she’s pretty mean, like when she phased a pillow into a Lady-Deathstrike-look-alike’s arm. Anyways the art, as always, is fantastic. The Hellfire Club has never been more interesting

Again, New Mutants 4 isn’t bad, its just such a step down from New Mutants 1-2. I kinda like the origins of the men who attacked Beak’s family, and I thought it was cleverly written. I found Boom-Boom kind of boring and I Hope next issue is the last issue of this filler arc. Good art but a step down from Rod Reis.

X-Force is officially my pick for best Dawn of X title. The art is constantly amazing, Percy understands these characters, and Percy perfectly uses the elements of suspense and violence. That last page might be the most haunting page of Dawn of X since Professor X died. Incredible

Greg Pak can dialogue me to death. So. Many. Words. On that note, Pak did write a fantastic moral dilemma that Amadeus has to face this issue, and it was actually masterly written. Unfortunately, that’s probably the only highlight of this issue, besides some great art. I loved the last page twist because I love Namor, but yeah that’s about it. I’m not coming back for the sequel

I thought the Alpha issue was alright, and I loved the next 4 one-shots but man, what a let down. Annihilation: Scourge Omega is a tale of 2-halfs. The first half of this issue is a bunch of choppy dialogue as the the Fantastic Four, Silver Sentry, and Beta Ray Bill all gather and team up. The second half of this issue is a huge, uninspired battle scene between the Cancerverse and the FF’s band of refugees, plus a whole army of every Marvel cosmic space character that Nova assembled and randomly appeared with. This whole issue was just so stupid. The whole reason the Cancerverse is destroying the Negative Zone is because Richard Rider was cured from them like half a decade ago, and he’s “the one that got away”. The heroes defeat the void by Silver Sentry flying into him. All that, and Silver Sentry just flies into him problem solved. Richard swallows the entire Cancerverse. The entire cancer verse, I’m not joking. Sentry shoots an eye beam at Richard and he pops, both Richard and all the Cancerverse dead. Everyone then lived happily ever after and with a last page twist, Richard gets resurrected by Annihilus! Rosenberg killed off Nova and brought him back 9 pages later. I’m sorry for the language but this was some shit. I thought the Silver Sentry was cool, and there was some nice art so I’ll give it a 4.

Jason Aaron weaves different story arcs around perfectly here, and although I still have serious problems with the way he portrays certain character (cough Jen cough Robbie cough), I still feel like he is building to something big. I’m really enjoying this arc actually and Steve wielding Mjornir again was awesome. I’m not a fan of Jen’s new costume, but Natasha’s new War Widow costume is one of the better new costume for any Marvel hero this year. I still don’t like McGuinness art though lol. I’m loving what Aaron is doing with Tony In the past and with the 3 Herald of Galactus. Good comic right here, but this series as a whole would be better off without Jen and Robbie. I mean, seriously, Robbie riding Norrin’s board?

Read it. Words can’t describe how much I loved this. Beautiful

Revenge of the Cosmic Ghost Rider 1 was an absolute delight. Like seriously, this is the best CGR story since his origin in Cates’ Thanos, and that’s saying quite a lot as CGR has been viciously overused. I wasn’t expecting to like this because of how bad CGR’s last limited series was, but RotCGR 1 perfectly balances action and humor. The return of Dennis Hopeless favorite Cammi was appreciated, and she actually steals the show a little from Frank. Hepburn’s art is fantastic as well. The back-up story written by CGR creators Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw was awesome, and one of the best backup stories I’ve ever read. Worth your money

 Spider-Man (2019) #3 Dec 18, 2019

Anything with Beta Ray Bill is a fun read, especially when he’s written and drawn this well. Unfortunately, nothing really happens at all the first half of this issue, and it’s all just set up for the Omega issue. Still enjoyable, nonetheless

Just a perfect issue by Abnett and Davidson and by far the best and most eventful issue of Scourge so far. The art was divine, especially on Silver Surfer himself. Abnett proves hes just as good a writer as he was 10 years ago. Beautiful issue; Silver Surfer done right

After issue 3, I was seriously considering dropping Black Panther and the Agents of Wakanda, but I decided to at least stay on for one more issue to finish the arc, and boy am I glad I did. Issue 4 perfectly shows off Zub’s mastery of continuity and it shows how much potential stories their are lying in decades-old stories. The art is perfect and I loved Bobbi and John especially. I will most definitely be back. This is a modern day old school comic, and it’s great

Obviously filler but this team has a nice little dynamic that carries this issue. Barely any forward progression at all, but Howard is doing a spectacular job nonetheless

First off, Jane’s boss is awesome. Second of all, FUTSAL TAKEOVER 2020. Third of all, Valkyrie: Jane Foster 6 was a great start to Aaron’s new arc. I like the obscure characters that join Jane for her “surgery of death”, and its great to see Aaron writing Dr Strange again, because he’s quite good at it. Also, Stephen calling Night Nurse Watson was probably the highlight of the series so far.

I was reading the other reviews and I found a quote that really stuck out: “Neither of the Yondus are good enough characters to make this series interesting.” This series is obviously transforming Yondu into MCU Yondu, and most of the jokes fail, although I liked some of them. The art is pretty good.

The fact that this character went from a super-fun, super-powerful, and unique character under Donny Cates to basically a Deadpool rip off under Scheer and Giovannetti is just sad. The line between Cosmic Ghost Rider and Deadpool has gotten blurrier and blurrier. The art is mediocre at best and the story itself, which is just Frank running around time and meeting his funny, is mostly unfunny and boring. Nothing is taken seriously and the only funny jokes are anything said by Frank’s son.

While I still have some problems with why this series exists, I did think Giovannetti and Scheer did I great job of retelling some key events in Spider Man’s story, especially the airport scene from JMS’s Amazing Spider Man. Some of the jokes were funny and the art was ok, but honestly a solid retelling.

The only reason I didn’t give this issue a 1 is because I’m a sucker for anything X-Men. Giovannetti and Scheer are spitting on some of Marvel’s greatest stories ever by having CGR just run around and ruin them. Fortunately this is out of continuity and I don’t have to take anything I read seriously, because wow this sucks

This issue wasn’t as downright offensive as last issue, it was still boring and pointless. What was once one of the most creative and unique characters in Marvel is now a knockoff Deadpool, and I don’t particularly like Deadpool that much in the first place.

The retellings this issue were absolutely horrible and obviously rushed, but I started to slightly enjoy CGR spending time with his family this issue.

Yeah Overall a terrible series with mostly bad jokes and too much humor, with mediocre art, and a ton of time travel. Nothing is meant to be taken seriously at all but this series was just so frustrating

Great news: we are officially half way done with Fallen Angels! Yup, its still horrible. Bryan Hill doesn’t know how to write any of these characters at all. The info pages this issue were just globs of text and were such a major turnoff. I’m still not even sure who or what Apoth is and the art is awful. Every character is written horribly. This comic took me like 7 minutes to read

Oof, one issue without Hickman and the downshift in quality is quite noticeable. Don’t get me wrong, New Mutants 3 isn’t a bad comic, it’s just not as good as the first 2 issues. Glob Herman barely had any lines and Armor was written extremely generically. There were some cute moments and I’m excited to see what Brisson has planned with Manon and Maxime, but overall an underwhelming issue.

Yet another 10 rating by Ben Percy and Cassara. Percy writes a dark and grim X-book, and it works so much better than I would have thought. The art is equally creepy and terrifying and Percy perfectly balances Logan and Quentin’s fight in South Korea with what’s going on in Krakoa. Professor X’s return is written perfectly and Oercy just understands the relationship between Magneto and Charles.

This was awesome. First off, the art by Olortegui was amazing. While I wasn’t a huge fan of the Alpha issue of this event, this Fantastic Four issue was phenomenal. Christos Gage perfectly shows off his mastery of continuity and his talent for writing the Fantastic Four’s family dynamic. Johnny was written especially well, and I love the callbacks to Jonathan Hickman’s Fantastic Four. Dan Slott May have been Gage’s mentor, but I for one believe Gage should be writing the main Fantastic Four title, instead of Slott

After what I thought was a good but not great Alpha issue, Annihilation: Scourge has pumped out 2 great one-shots, including this Nova one-shot written by Matthew Rosenberg. Rosenberg does a great job of writing the Nova/Annihilus dynamic and Roberson’s art was fun and adventurous. The Sentry and his Revengers are terrifying villains, and this issue was overall amazingly written. Color me impressed

Doctor Doom just gets better and better after each issue. Issue 3 starts to reveal that Cantwell has huge plans for Doom, and a sort of redemption for the character after his fall from grace after Secret Wars. The art was beautiful and Doom’s encounter with Mephisto and Valeria in hell was by far the highlight of the series so far. I love how Cantwell gave us that snippet of the future too

I love that Rictor is getting some much deserved attention and Howard writers him well. Brian Braddock was a terrifying antagonist this issue, and him turning against Excalibur was a great twist. Also, Shogo the Dragon is awesome!! Apocalypse continues to be the most intriguing and interesting part of this comic, far more than Morgan Le Fay

Wow, I never thought I could read a comic centered around Sebastian Shaw for all 22 pages and not get bored, but that’s exactly what Duggan and Bandini have done. While this issue was nothing special, it was still a lot of fun and Duggan is finally fulfilling the Hellfire Club’s potential to be one of the most interesting organizations in comics.

There were some good stories. The opening Joker story was phenomenal as was the closing Harley story, but everything in between was meh. Busiek’s Prankster story was a let down and I don’t like Jim Kreig’s Poison Ivy story. The Calendar Man story was solid but I think this comic would have been better if it was about Christmas, or even at least closer to New Year’s itself.

Duggan is obviously playing the long game here, but I for one believe the payoff will be great. Zircher does a much better job with the art and I loved the trio of Doctor Doom, Doctor Strange, and Conan. Duggan truly is a master of continuity. I just deeply love seeing Conan fun around in the Marvel Universe with all these characters. Duggan is truly crafting something special.

Pure, mindless fun

Tom King and Andy Kubert deliver a solid, fun, and uncontroversial tale, and that’s all that matters for now. We’ll see how the story pans out, but I’m getting a great Grant Morrison All-Star Superman vibe from this

Wow. Superman: Up In the Sky 2 is phenomenal. If I had any doubts after issue 1, they are surely all gone. Tom King includes the Super but focuses on the Man, and the results are truly glorious. Both stories in this issue were equally touching. Comics like these are what make Superman who he is

The first story of Clark anxiously waiting for Lois pick up her phone light years away was hilarious and witnessing him imagining ball the horrible things that could’ve happened to Lois was horrific. Only Tom King can mix humor and horror that naturally. The second story with Sergeant Rock was a great story but one of the weaker parts of the series so far. Tremendous art as usual

Ridiculously well written. Tom King is crafting a Superman tale that will be up their with All-Star Superman and Whatever Happened to the Man of Tomorrow for the best Superman comic ever.

Now THIS is Superman done right. Only Superman could somehow save that mans life yet still keep his word with Darkseid. The second story was phenomenal and a true dive into what makes Clark Kent tick

What did a learn after six issue of this and six issues of Batman: Universe? That Bendis should be writing Batman and King should be writing Superman

HORDECULTURE FOREVER!!! Lmao anyways, I love how Hickman has been putting Scott at the center of this series. It’s been a while since a writer did Scott right. This issue had some hilarious jokes, although not all of them had the desired effect. The art was beautiful and this was an overall fantastic issue. Loving every panel of Dawn of X so far

This isn’t your classic Batman, but Bendis gives his take on the Dark Knight a unique feel that is perfectly matched by Derington’s art. The Riddler is one of Batman’s greatest villains and Alfred had some hilarious lines

Batman: Universe 2 was a ton of fun. The tone was light and Batman and Green Arrow make for a hilarious dynamic, even though the dialogue was a bit choppy between them at times. Batman visits Gorilla City and it looks like Thanagar now too, so what more could you want

Batman: Universe is perfectly named, as issue 3 further proves that this is just a fun Bendis romp through the DC Universe. Green Lantern makes for a better co-star than Oliver, and Vandal Savage is always an intriguing villain, but Bruce’s trip to Dinosaur Island felt very unnecessary

Great art, fun story. Again, not your usual dark and gritty Batman but Bendis delivers his own unique take and it’s a blast.

Batman: Universe is the funniest issue of the series as well as by far the most important, as the Faberge egg is revealed to contain a White Lantern ring. Yup, Bruce Wayne is a White Lantern. And he might just be infected with alien spores

The story was very nostalgic, if a bit light. The art was amazing. Surprisingly, this is one of the best New Mutants stories in the last 2 decades, which shows you how little Marvel has done with these characters

Ugh I really don’t know what to think of this. First of all, I was extremely disappointed at how easily Aaron killed off the last Starbrand back in Marvel Legcay, and I had grown to like him in Hickman’s Avengers run. It seems a little weird that Steve would choose Natasha for a space mission, and its even weirder that Blade is still on the team at all. She Hulk ranted about being over sexualized in Avengers 20 but now she is wearing lingerie to space? Aaron sucks at writing She Hulk. I thought Thor as a Brood was cool and I’m excited for Silver Surfer next issue. I hope this new Starbrand is worth the hype because Aaron has been hinting at it for years and I really liked the old Starbrand. I also really don’t like McGuinness’ art.

Great art and extremely satisfying. Foggy Nelson is hilarious and I’m glad Duggan didn’t take the easy way out and make Jones a child rapist or murderer or something. Juggernaut is a boss.

8.0
 Strikeforce (2019) #3 Nov 29, 2019

I liked this issue more than Yondu 1. The origin of the Herald’s Urn was actually pretty interesting, and the jokes were funny, unlike last issue. I’m still not that interested why the other Yondu is in the present and how he got here, but Yondu 2 is funny, has good art, and the plot is slightly better and intensifies a little. So Yondu is showing some potential as a series

Absolutely everything I hoped for and more. Batman: Creature of the Night 1 was a heartbreaking comic, but it also delivers divine narration by Busiek. Both characters are well written and, if Busiek can keep this up, I think Creature of the Night will be an even better comic than Superman: Secret Identity. I couldn’t help but root for Bruce Wainwright each and ever page

Somehow, Busiek and Leon improve on issue 1 with an even better issue 2. Creature of the Night 2 is amazingly realistic. Busiek and Leon smother each panel with so much care and detail, and the last 4th of this comic might be the best 10 pages I’ve read in a long long time

I have no words. If you haven’t read this series, well, you most definitely should

Weird comic. Not my cup of joe

This was amazing. Hickman’s favorite characters to write ever are more than likely Bobby and Sam, as demonstrated in his awesome Avengers run. The art is PERFECT and it got me so nostalgic of Claremont’s original New Mutants run. The interactions between Sam, Bobby, and Izzy were everything I wanted out of Dawn of X. Hickman flaunts his mastery of continuity with the much appreciated inclusion of Xandra and Deathbird in this issue. New Mitants may just be the best Marvel Comic right now

While X-Force 1 was an intense fast pace thriller of an issue, X-Force 2 slows down and takes time to unravel the story after the shocking death of Xavier last issue. The dynamic of mystery Percy gifts this issue is great. By far the highlight of this issue is when Logan and Quentin uncover the assassin crafting base, and Percy goes full horror. The skin assassins were terrifying and Percy and Cassara executes this issue perfectly

What I was expecting to be a rushed attempt by Marvel for sales by resurrecting a decade old classic story turned out to by a pretty decent comic, and yes, Matthew Rosenberg wrote it. The art is great and the story was a pretty funny and action packed romp through the Negative Zone. My main problem is that Annihilus is severely underpowered. Excited for those one-shots

Batman: White Knight Presents Von Freeze was absolutely spectacular and just as good as the other installments of the White Knight universe. I was expecting the worst for this one-shot as Janson handles the art instead of Murphy himself, yet Janson delivers just as would as Murphy has. It’s really one of the highlights of his career. Murphy writes one of the most emotionally charged comics I’ve read as he states that he used his own family issues to write this comic. Von Freeze is a deep and beautifully written character, and this one-shot adds even more layers and depth to the White Knight saga

One word to describe this issue: Epic. Aaron is going out with a bang

Great art and simple and sometimes boring story, but I’d very much like to get more origin stories for each of the Prehistoric Avengers in the future

Excalibur 2 vastly improves on Excalibur 1. Each character gets equal panel time, and not just Apocalypse and Betsy this time. There is plenty of action and the art is divine. Howard looks like she’s playing the long game and it’s pretty impressive, but her understanding of these characters seems just as impressive. Top 3 Dawn of X title right here

I’m sad that Loki is ending prematurely with Loki 5, as it was surprisingly hilarious. Issue 5 showed off how perfect Daniel Kibblesmith is at writing dialogue. Even though literally every scene that doesn’t have Loki talking in it sucks, Kibblesmith provides a satisfying conclusion thanks to a surprise guest and a new title for Loki: god of Outcasts

Marauders continues to be an excellent Dawn of X title with issue 2. The art is stunning n and Kitty Pryde is truly the real MVP of this comic. Emma Frost is as classy and sarcastic as ever, and I love it. Gotta love that last page, with Kitty proclaiming “I’m the Red Queen, bitch.” It was truly great. Also. I’m calling it now. Bishop will be the Black Bishop lmao

Woah ok. So the start of this issue is a VERY unsubtle transition to the climax, as Amadeus says something’s up with Pan and this Mike Nguyen guy (Captain Obvious), lets check it out, and proceeds to send the members of Atlas on various missions. Raz and Isaac beyond awkwardly flirt, Amadeus sends Shang-Chi to find Woo (finally someone notices he’s missing), Aero, Wave, and Luna stake out for dragon’s, and Dan Bi goes to school. Agents of Atlas 4 was probably the worst issue yet, but it still does just enough to give Pak the chance to write a good and satisfying conclusion.

Black Panther and the Agents of Wakanda 3 is the most complete issue of the series yet. This issue is ridiculous, has tons of action, introduces a new team member, and was absolutely hilarious, especially the start. Zub is on a roll. Plus, Ego is awesome and I love a good continuity reference

Don’t get me wrong, Fallen Angels 1 isn’t a bad comic, it’s just by far the weakest Dawn of X title. Bryan Hill plays to his strengths; mainly his talent for horror writing. Hill still isn’t the best character writer, but Psylocke’s flashbacks were extremely powerful. Bill’s storytelling itself was alright, but rushed. The whole Apoth conflict was super rushed and it doesn’t seem important to the comic at all. Cable and X-23 are written extremely flat. Psylocke is the only character with any depth, and she’s already the main character of Excalibur, which came out just 2 or 3 weeks ago. Still, Kudranski’s art, the creepy tone Hill has instilled, as well as momentum from the other Dawn of X books has given Fallen Angels the potential to be a solid comic.

Hickman continues his hot streak with the excellent X-Men 2, as Scott Cable and Rachel go to investigate a mysterious new island that Krakoa is heading right for. The relationship between Scott and his 2 future kids is great, and its obvious that Hickman excels at writing the Summers clan. The art was great as usual and although the island sex was weird, I’m glad Krakoa found it’s long lost other half, which was hinted at back in Powers if X and House of X. Hickman is planting seeds for the future as the Summiner is revealed to be Apocalypse’s grandchild. Apocalypse continues to be this runs most interesting character, especially now that Professor X is dead. Every single panel was beautifully drawn and perfectly written

While I didn’t really like this series too much after issue 1, I’ve completely changed my mind after this issue. Cantwell involves so many characters, which is amazing for a first time comic writer. Cantwell manages to stack this comic full of action suspense, mystery, and character development. Great art as usual by Larroca. And the last page: Taskmaster🤩🤩🤩

Really nothing special here. Not recommended

I couldn’t find a single thing wrong about this issue, except that maybe Corsair was written very out of character. Rod Reis quite obviously tries to mimick Bill Sienkywicz’s art, and personally I liked Reis’ art more. Hickman understands each character absolutely perfectly, especially Rahne. Like, when was the last time you read a comic where Rahne was happy and not sad and emo like shes been written for the past 25 years. Bobby is awesome as usual and it’s quite apparent that he’s still one of Hickman’s favorite characters. This whole issue was hilarious, especially Bobby and Corsair’s bet for Kentucky Bourbon. Highly recommended, perfect issue

Savage Avengers definitely is a fast issue, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Elektra searches for Doctor Voodoo’s brother Daniel, which she promised to do a couple issues back while she gives information to Stephen Strange on what happened with Voodoo and Kulan Gath. Meanwhile, Voodoo confronts Gath in a secret pocket dimension. After Conan’s misadventure in Brazil, he was then kidnapped to Latveria where he meets Doctor Doom for lunch! But seriously though, Doom is like in every comic these days. Anyways great knowledge of continuity by Duggan and I loved the art

Spider Man/Venom: Double Trouble 1 was definitely not what I thought it would be but its a great comic for kids 10 and under

Dawn of X continues to be absolutely spectacular. Instead of going to space or back into the human word or to Otherworld like in New Mutants, Excalibur, and Marauders, X-Force 1 takes place almost entirely in Krakoa. Mutants galore appear in this issue as well as some great action and the 1st real threat to Krakoa. And that last page: Professor X dead?!?! Perfect first issue

Yondu stealing precious oil and an ancient artifact was fine and all until a being called Anthos sent the future Yondu to the past to me our Yondu. This whole comic seemed a little unnecessary, but I did enjoy the art and I will be coming back for issue 2

WOW. Hairsine’s art is absolutely astonishing. Tom Taylor is delivering another classic and I feel safe saying that after 1 issue. The art was terrifying and the story was complex yet somehow simple at the same time. The narration was divine

There is a strong argument that DCeased 2 is a perfect comic. The art is creepy, colorful, and definitive. Taylor wasn’t afraid to do the unexpected, as both Hal and Bruce die. The pacing is fast and the plot moves forward. This issue got me so emotional: especially the last 5 or so pages. Writers like Bendis, King, Johns, Snyder, Slott, and Aaron May get all the acclaim but in my opinion, not one writer is better than Tom Taylor right now

The art is great. Taylor understands these characters so well. The plot is awesome. The narration is fantastic. But DCeased’s best quality is the ability to make you feel so so sad. It’s really really really great. Please read

Tom Taylor understands these characters more than any writer at DC right now. I don’t have a single complaint. Another great last page and more tremendous narration. This may be Tom Taylor’s greatest comic, over even All-New Wolverine and Injustice.

Truly a masterpiece. I don’t know what more I can say without sounding like a broken record

Definitely not the most satisfying of endings, but wow still a great comic. The final fight between Superman and Jon was so perfectly written, and this issue was just outright epic. So many great moments throughout this comic. Tom Taylor did some great stuff with Marvel (All-New Wolverine, X-Men Red), but DC is where he truly belongs. Many one request: please no sequels.

One of the best all time Elseworlds stories ever.

Excalibur 1 was a fantastic read and a great first issue. Although I wish Rogue, Gambit, Rictor, and Jubilee had done a little bit more this issue, and it awesome to see Psylocke and Apocalypse get pulled into the Otherworld War. Honestly, I always love it when Jamie gets resurrected over and over again and I got a good laugh when he came back to life this issue. I’m not to familiar with Captain Britain but Psylocke as the new Captain Britain certainly seems like an intriguing idea. Tini Howard is quickly becoming one of Marvel’s best writers

Savage Avengers continues to be Marvel’s most underrated title, even with this unexpected Annual. Savage Avengers Annual 1 does everything it needs to do: It’s bloody and violent, and it advances the story as Conan gets closer to New York. Kulan Gath seems like a much more scary villain after this issue, as it is revealed how far his influence really is. The Sickles gang were great punching bags for Conan, Hellstrom, and Natasha. Lately, Hellstrom has died in Strikeforce and gone bald in Avengers, but Duggan and Garney do him right. Natasha is totally a bad ass and Duggan leaves the door open for Natasha and Hellstrom to re-enter the fray in later issues of Savage Avengers. Ron Garney’s art was great and it fit the time perfectly. Read Savage Avengers. You won’t regret it.

What a rushed and disappointing ending to an otherwise great miniseries. Moon knight defeated Urchin way too easily and it’s as if one of his powers is being anti-hivemind. The art also took a noticeable dip in quality. Contagion 1-4 were great but a found Contagion 5 to be extremely lacking, which is disappointing because great character moments happened in the first four issues with Jessica, Ben, and Danny.

While Superman: Year One 1 could’ve definitely been better, knowing Frank Miller, it also could’ve been a lot worse. The art was overall pretty great be Romita and I love a good Clark in Kansas story, even if it’s not as good as Superman For All Seasons. I’m extremely interested for next issue, though, as Clark begins Navy SEAL training, which seems to be quite the plot twist

After an uneven yet promising first issue, Superman: Year One 2 fails to live up to its hype and is a weird and boring tale of Clark swimming with mermaids and getting an honorable discharge from the Navy SEALS. I didn’t know why Miller would write Clark as a Navy SEAL in the first place and the whole mermaid thing was just plain unnecessary. The narration was also hard to understand

I hated last issue, but I really really liked this finale. This was by far the best issue and the part where Superman saves the hostages was just plain perfect, easily the best part of the series. This isn’t the Frank Miller we know and love, but this may be as close as we’ll ever get to classic Frank Miller again.

Agents of Atlas continues to impress me. After a dismal start in New Agents of Atlas, Greg Pak rebounded with a decent issue 1 to Agents of Atlas and a stellar second issue to match. While I wish someone besides Amadeus and Luna would get to actually do something, Mike Nguyen seems like a legitimate villain and I’m intrigued on what Jimmy is up too. And that last page: of course Raz and Isaac are gay for each other. Just of course they are. Everybody is gay now

For the first time, I thoroughly enjoyed an issue of this arc. My boy Stefano Caselli drew the many Ghost Riders of this issue wonderfully, and Aaron finally made the Ghost Riders interesting. I’m incredibly excited to find out what’s up with Tony and why he’s in the past, too. A true return to form

Contagion has steadily gotten better each issue, and Contagion 4 is the best of the series. I highly recommend you read this comic. The Urchin is a well written antagonist and you can’t help but root out loud for Brisson’s ragtag team of survivors of the Urchin

While Luna Snow 1 is better than the White Fox one-shot, this was just another super cliches origin, which is basically the entirety of Marvel’s Asian series. The art is actually really good, yet the story is somewhat boring. It was interesting enough, though, for me to read an ongoing Luna series if one was ever written

King Thor is just a perfect comic, plain and simply. Ribic’s art is heavenly and Aaron understands the Thor Loki dynamic perfectly. 11/10

Dawn of X is off to a killer start, and so is Marauders. While it looks like Marauders will be one of the weaker Dawn of X titles, Marauders 1 was nonetheless an exciting and intriguing start. The dynamic between Kitty, Bobby, and Ororo had me reminiscing the Claremont years, Lolli’s art fits Duggan’s tone perfectly

Ferreyra continues to deliver excellent art and Duggan delivers a fine penultimate issue to Punisher Kill Krew. While the pace is a little bit too fast for my liking, there is tons of action and even some humor packed into this issue (“Nelson, stop fooling around” was my favorite).

Strikeforce 2 was definitely a step back from issue 1, as a lot less happens and the Vridai have yet to distinguish themselves from the Skrulls. Thing about it, the Vridai are exactly the same as the Skrulls and while I’m reading this I can’t help but think that Howard is just writing Secret Invasion all over again. Anyways, Howard writes Jessica and Wiccan fantastically, and Peralta’s art was great. Oh, and of course Angela and Satana kissed. Just of course they did. Everybody is gay now

After a great issue 1, J found issues 2 and 3 of Valkyrie: Jane Foster to be quite unimpressive. And wow, what an issue. Valkyrie: Jane Foster 4 is a bit of a day off of sorts for Jane, as she attends a lecture with her buddy Lisa. Meanwhile, Mephisto, who is endlessly funny, recruits Grim Reaper to be his Valkyrie, which is only possible because of an old deal with Hela. To become a Valkyrie, the Reaper must either kill Jane or bring another hero to Valhalla. Dr Strange happens to be at the same lecture as Jane when a magic mirror starts acting up. Out of the mirror, which turns out to be a portal to the purple dimension, comes 3 of Stephen’s foes, including Kaecilus. In the middle of the battle, Grim Reaper accepts Mephisto’s deal and captures Dr Strange in the mirror. This issue had me entertained from cover to cover, and Cafu’s art was excellent. Perfect job by Jason Aaron

First off, I would just like to appreciate everything that is Fat Cobra. He literally ate the Void. Yeah, the same Void that killed Sentry and Loki a couple years ago. Anyways, I though issue 1 was super generic so I was pleasantly surprised with this issue. Each character gets a decent amount of time to shine and the humor was much more improved. Jim Zub comics aren’t for everyone but I love them

Don’t let Contagion’s publication date mistake you: Contagion is a good old fashioned comic. The plot is simple: an alien infection is spreading and New York needs heroes. Brisson gloriously introduces more characters from Marvel’s vast catalogue with ease, as Tony Stark searches for a scientific solution while Danny’s sorcerer friends search for a magical solution. Oh, and Elektra, Venom, and Punisher search for a violent solution, too. Contagion is great because it doesn’t require me to think to much , and I can just lay back and enjoy the horror and action. Great issue

Well let’s start with the good stuff. I really enjoyed issue 1 so I was naturally excited for this issue and was massively let down. The art was great and I’m still intrigued on the identity of Cadaverous. The dialogue was also pretty natural and fluid. Unfortunately, the story itself was super cliched and boring. After I read this issue, I wondered, “What’s the point of this series?” The best that I could come up with is that JJ Abrams wanted time write a Peter Parker origin but editors thought (rightfully) that Abrams ideas were to wack for the 616 so they just threw him in an alternate reality. What I’m trying to say is that what this series needs to do is distinguish itself from other Spidey stories, and so far it hasn’t done that

X-Men 1 is absolutely flawless. Hickman perfectly blends the character writing from his Fantastic Four run and the mind blowing plot of his Avengers run, and what you get is quite possibles the beginning of Jonathan Hickman’s greatest comic yet. Hickman writes every character perfectly, especially Scott. The conversations between Scott and Lorna and between Scott and Corsair were just terrific, and I got a good laugh out of Logan and Vulcan’s argument. Hickman hints at further things to come with the aftermath of the X-Men’s assault on the Master Mold. Yu’s art is beautiful and right now, X-Men is not just the best Marvel Comic, but the best comic. Period.

Contagion 2 is a perfect mixture of pure action and horror, both things we don’t get enough of in comics these days. The art is nice and Brisson starts to pick things up. Contagion has been a pretty cool comic so far. Recommend

Besides a few minor parts, Doctor Doom 1 was fantastically written from almost start to finish. Larroca’s art was by far the best part of this issue by the way. Cantwell delivers a very interesting plot and my only complaint is that Doom seemed weak and out of character when he surrendered immediately to the UN

Wong writes a great, if basic, origin for White Fox and Libranda’s art pleasantly surprised me. Marvel’s plan to put more spotlight on it’s Asian heroes has been massively unsuccessful so far (Aero and Sword Master suck), White Fox 1 is a step in the right direction

Loki 4 is absolutely hilarious, and Loki’s humor is the best part of the series. The dialogue, arc, and plot were in sync and all together they made a great comic

Part of me wants to give Champions 10 a lower score because of how rushed it felt, but I can’t possibly do that because Jim Zub was forced to rush this series to a close and I can guarantee you Zub had a better ending in mind. I’m disappointed at this series’ premature cancellation but it was great while it lasted and I’m excited for what the Champions will be up too in 2020

While I’m disappointed that Contagion 1 didn’t incorporated more characters than it did, but the crisp art and Brisson’s passion for writing horror prove this to be a simple but entertaining comic. I think Contagion will definitely benefit from being a weekly series and I can’t wait for next week. Love the K’un L’un stuff too

I’m really really bummed that Deodato didn’t draw this issue because I know for a fact he would have rocked it, but Jacinto gives us decent artwork. I feel like Savage Avengers 6 could have been something great but thanks to a mixture of lousy writing from Duggan and Deodato’s absence, I finished the comic feeling slightly underwhelmed. Make no mistake though, Savage Avengers is still Marvel’s most underrated comic.

Avengers 24 had way too much talking by Cosmic Ghost Rider for my liking in what turned out to be a very uneven issue. The fight between Cosmic Ghost Rider and the Avengers was wordy and way too stretched out yet beautiful drawn and packed with spot-on humor. The good news is, this issue finally makes Robbie and Johnny’s race feel fun and important. Good issue but still a ton of room for improvement in my opinion

Strikeforce 1 was by far one of the better comics I read this week. First off, Tini Howard handles both the Avengers and the newly formed Strikeforce perfectly. In just one issue, she managed to assemble the team, introduce the threat, and begin the first mission. The pacing is excellent and the art is eye candy by Peralta. Howard treats these intriguing characters so well and my only complaint is the many similarities between the Vydrai (?) and the Skrulls.

This issue is actually a very pleasant surprise. Punisher Kill Krew is filled with gruesome violence as well as subtle humor, and Ferreyra’s art is some of the best art in comics right now. Such an writes the dynamic between the Kill Krew of Frank, Foggy, and Juggernaut perfectly. It’s been quite a while since Black Knight did anything meaningful in Marvel so I’m definitely looking forward to next issue.

Thanos 6 is possibly the best issue of the series as Tini Howard gives her best writing effort yet. The dialogue was absolutely fantastic and this issue worked as a perfect ending but also a perfect beginning. The plot twist that Magus was Death the whole time was great. My only complaint is Ariel Olivetti’s mediocre artwork this issue

Aero 3 was a waste of my money, and probably yours too. The first main story was super shallow, and barely anything happened. We got to see Aero in her personal life a little more, which was cool, but the story didn’t progress at all. The second story progressed less than I thought too, but it had better art and solid action.

It’s a genuine shame most of the Agents of Wakanda don’t appear in this issue, because they really are in interesting group of guys. Anyways, Black Panther and the Agents of Wakanda 1 goes heavy with the action and gives us a fast start from the get go. The art is great and this series has a ton of potential. Great to see Zub getting another chance after Champions got cancelled

 Spider-Man (2019) #1 Sep 19, 2019

Cafu outdoes himself this issue. The part where Heimdall dies in the Greek afterlife was beautifully drawn, and his art gave such an epic tone to this issue. Everything between Jane and the talking horse was boring and it felt like filler to get to the end of the issue, though. Good news is: Grim Reaper is back baby!

Consider my expectations demolished. King Thor 1 already feels like a Modern Marvel Classic. Jason Aaron nails the dialogue and Loki the End of All Things was absolutely terrifying; one of Marvel’s most terrifying villains in Marvel history. Shandrak gets a heroes death, and the granddaughters of Thor are awesome as always. That last page was an absolute killer and set up perfectly. Esad Ribic’s art takes this issue above and beyond. Please, if you read 1 comic this month, make it King Thor 1

I got a lot of good laughs out of Loki 3, although Kibblesmith tries a little to hard with the humor at times. I wasn’t a big fan of the House of Ideas concept in Avengers: No Road Home, but I found it actually pretty fun in this issue. Nightmare is again an awesome villain, and I that short little intermission with Frosti. The last page is certainly shocking, as Nightmare tells Loki he never left Laufey’s gut.

While Powers of X 4 isn’t as mind blowing or action packed as previous issues, it still does it’s job tremendously. The story from year 1 of the X-Men was crazy, as Professor X and Magneto give Sinister the job of collecting DNA of every Mutant on Earth, and he wouldn’t remember why he was doing this until Xavier tells him too. In year 10, Professor X takes Doug to Krakoa and Doug begins to translate the Krakoan and starts to make it possible for every mutant to learn Krakoan. In year 1000, an alien species requests for ascension to the Phalanx. This was overall a beautifully drawn and intriguing issue that perfectly sets up the last leg of this epic. The Sinister Secrets were very confusing though

Punisher Kill Krew 2 succeeds where issue 1 failed, This issue is gloriously violent and is pure eye candy. Ferreyra can draw the most unusual of things yet still I look at them for a solid 30 seconds, like that robotic shark. Great issue by Duggan and Ferreyra

Both stories progress at a snails rate, and the art is more anime-like than previous issues. Not much to like at all unless you love history like me.

What a turn around by Pak and Leon. I sorta-liked Agents of Atlas 1, but issue 2 was extraordinary. The art was flawless. While I thought issue 1 was a little over the top, with all the dragons and the Pan-Pass stuff, issue 2 took it’s time to explain everything and we even got a decent amount of character moments and development, which has been a rarity ever since Pak started this experiment back in War of the Realms. I love it.

Albeit rushed due to this series’ abrupt cancellation, Champions 9 is still a serviceable penultimate issue. I love the focus on the big three of Kamala, Miles, and Sam, and this issue gets extra points for including a cameo of my boy Bruno. Unfortunately this series got dragged into War of the Realms early and never got a chance to fully develop, but I have no doubt Zub and Cummings were crafting an absolute classic. I’ll be sad to see this series go next issue

I’m just in shock at the perfection in between the covers of House of X 4. I dare not say more. Read it yourself.

Savage Avengers is one of the most unique comics Marvel has ever published, and it definitely isn’t for everybody. The way Duggan tells the story is very unique and probably reads better in trade, but I love the tone and Deodato’s art may be the best art in any comic right now. A ton happened in Savage Avengers 5, including the unfortunate end of Conan’s team-up with a symbiotic. The marrow is killed, but his blood poisons the Savage Avengers. The recently resurrected Kulan Gath escapes through a portal, and he’s followed by Doctor Voodoo. Elektra, Logan, and Venom take one of Voodoo’s portals back to New York, while Conan and Frank take the coffins of Frank’s family and decide to walk through the Savage Land, Antarctica, and back to the civilized world. Elektra places trackers on both Conan and Voodoo, and this issue perfectly sets up the rest of this series. Awesome stuff

This issue solely works due to the fact of it’s mostly Ewing reimagining 616 characters into Yinsen city characters in Battleoworld. And because of Alan Davis’ art, which is the best part of the issue. I like the new Captain Britain, and it’s clear Ewing is a great character writer. Not quite sure what’s in store next issue, but we’ll see

Not good. Not bad. Ewing only had 2 issues for this series, so this issue could’ve definitely been a lot worse but I can’t help but feel this series deserved 3 issues to really flesh out the Yinsen City/Mondo City conflict

Wow, way too fit a ton of material into one issue by Remender. Not only does this issue start off with Jericho defeating and imprisoning Dormammu but it also contains Jericho defending the Eye of Agamotto from Doctor Doom. All in one issue! The art grew on me as I kept reading and my only complaint is the dialogue

The dialogue is still a wee bit confusing for me, but if you subtract Remender’s dialogue and the Jamaican accents, Doctor Voodoo: Avenger of the Supernatural is quickly becoming one of Marvel’s all time best Magic Comics. The flash backs of Jericho and Daniel’s early life are so powerful and beautifully drawn. Remender really flexes his imagination this issue

Simply put Doctor Voodoo: Avenger of the Supernatural is an out of control magical romp through all things Marvel Supernatural. This may be the most terrifying Nightmare has been as a villain EVER. The flashbacks continue to be excellent. Although this comic isn’t for everybody, if you do like, your in for a treat

Palo’s art is firing perfectly on all cyclinders. Remender writes a terrifying Nightmare. The Jericho/Doctor Doom dynamic is perfect. I don’t think I’ve liked a magic comic as much as this since Stern’s Triumph and Torment

Remender delivers a spectacular finale to Avenger of the Supernatural. I wasn’t a big Jericho fan in Bendis’ Bew Avengers but Remender has for sure changed my mind. I gained a whole new respect for Nightmare as a villain and Doom as a sorcerer. Unfortunate that this series got canceled because it looked like Remender had big plans. Favorite moment of the series: seeing the Nightmare-controlled Ghost Riders in action

While I’m not a big fan of Ian Rogers, Hail Hydra 1 had just enough going for it for me to come back next issue. The art and dialogue were great even though I found Remender’s portrayal of a Hydra-controlled Earth lacking so far

First off, the Hydra Symbiotes were awesome. The part where the Hydra Symbiotes ambush the resistance in the sewers was the highlight of the series as Steve, Sharon, Nick, and Tony are unfortunately killed by Hydra, leaving Ian and Ellie the only resistance members left

There were some nice moments this issue where Ian remembers Steve’s teachings, and the fight with his doppelgänger was cool, but other than that not much happened

Unfortunately, Hail Hydra goes out with a whimper

I had extremely high expectations for this series, because House of M is one of my favorite comics ever, and issue 1 has not disappointed. Hopeless does a great job of matching the soap opera seriousness of the Magnus family with the humor of Hawkeye and the human rebels. The art was absolutely fabulous.

I wish Hopeless would do more with Wanda and Lorna, but so far, Pietro has been my favorite character. His wit and deceptiveness really stand out. I think Hopeless tries to do a little to much in focusing on the human resistance’s fight against Magneto AND focusing on Pietro’s coup, though.

Good action this issue, but again, I wish Wanda and Lorna would get more of the focus rather than the human resistance. Art is still tremendous.

Oof, I definitely did not like House of M 4. It felt extremely rushed, and Magneto came out of it appearing weak. Unfortunately, as with a lot of Secret Wars tie-ins, House of M started great and ended with a whimper. I did like Wiccan and Speed though

Red Skull 1 was definitely a pleasant surprise for me. It took a while to me to get used to Pizzari’s art, but it was great. I love Crossbones’ team of ragtag villains, and Williamson perfectly welded humor and action into Red Skull 1. One of my favorite Secret Wars books so far

The Deadlands may be the most intriguing location in all of Battlworld, and Pizzari draws the Deadlands perfectly. Although I think Williamson shouldn’t have killed off the whole team except for Magneto, I really did enjoy the Magneto/Red Skull/Annihilus dynamic

I loved that last page a little too much

While Red Skull: Incarnate 1 isn’t as engaging as Magneto Testament was, this series still has potential to be another haunting World War 2 origin tale from Greg Pak. Decent art from Mirko Colak but nothing special

While Johan Schmidt doesn’t have as much depth as Max Eisenhardt did, Pak does a great job of showing respect for history. Colak’s art got better this issue

In my opinion, Red Skull: Incarnate is by far inferior to X-Men: Magneto Testament, but that’s purely because Magneto is a villain you can root for and Red Skull is not. I liked Max Eisenhardt as a protagonist, but I don’t like Johan. In fact, I hate Johan, and that’s exactly how it’s supposed to be

I absolutely suck at science. Like I’m horrible. I sucked almost just as much in English. I was mediocre in math. But I loved history, and I think that’s why I love Red Skull: Incarnate a lot. The story itself offers little and it’s not very rich, but this series is great for history buffs and it has good art

Wipe this series wasn’t horrible, it wasn’t particularly great either. Pak didn’t seem like he knew if he wanted to write Red Skull as a sympathetic villain or a purely evil one. I think I would’ve liked this series more if Red Skull had been a Nazi since the beginning

Absolutely awesome first issue by Pak and Giandomenico. I never felt bored once this issue and I felt so immersed in Max Eisenhardt’s world to the point that I was no longer aware of my actual surroundings in the real world. The art was great and Pak really put in the work to make this comic as historically accurate as possible

X-Men: Magneto Testament feels so real, and this may be a first for Marvel Comics, it actually feels like it could’ve happened in real life. This issue continues to have beautiful art and great historical accuracy. Max Eisnehardt is a protagonist you just can’t help but to naturally route for

Only 3 issues in, I’m convinced Magneto may have the most depressing origin in Marvel comics. Pak and Giandomenico nail this issue yet again. Historically accurate, beautiful art, and solid character development are staples every issue.

Absolutely awful what the Nazis did to those Jews.

Pak and Giandomenico delivers a Modern Marvel classic in the form of X-Men: Magneto Testament that’s equally tragic yet historically accurate. Pak put in years of hard work into this comic and I think it’s safe to say that it paid off

For Marvel Comics 1000, I hoped for the best but expected the worst. In reality, this 80th anniversary celebration issue fell somewhere in between. I really liked Ewing’s main story, and I hope their is an announcement of his planned follow-up soon. Some of the one page stories gave me a good laugh but others were just plain unnecessary

I found myself bored at times during this issue which is never good. The art was amazing, though. I’m not liking the demonic theme Aaron have this issue and I’ve never been fond of demon or exorcism comics. Aaron jumps from Robbie’s adventure to the rest of the Avengers fighting their own headquarters. Awesome last page though but Aaron needs to reel things in

House of X isn’t absolutely mind bending like previous issues, and it follows a more traditional comic layout. Despite these changes, House of X is still entertaining and shocking. The art was beautiful and everything makes sense and it’s just so satisfying

While Marvel Monsters 1 was fantastically drawn, it does not appear there will be any type of follow up to this issue and it makes me question why Marvel published this issue at all. While I presumed Marvel Monsters would be a crazy fun monster romp, it ended up being a rushed yet beautifully drawn set-up issue, even though it doesn’t appear something will be set up

Spider Man: Life Story 2 is absolutely heartbreaking, and Zdarsky’s brainchild continues to be nostalgic yet intriguing through it’s sophomore issue. The art is fabulous by Bagley, and he’s really at the top of his game right now. What a great idea to ditch the sliding time scale and have Peter age with the publishing date

Spider Man: Life Story 3 was on the most depressing and sad comics I’ve ever read, and it really makes you feel for poor Peter, who’s always down on his luck. Zdarsky’s take on Secret Wars was brief yet awesome and his take on Kraven’s Last Hunt was nothing short of extraordinary. Great comic

I was definitely disappointed that we didn’t get any Venom or Black Cat this issue, as well as now Maximum Carnage either. Zdarsky’s take on the Clone Saga was nonetheless fantastic, and Peter’s final confrontation with Norman was undoubtedly epic. The fact that this series is a real time retelling makes it so much more satisfying.

While I’m a little disappointed that Zdarksy took the easy way out by writing Civil War and making Tony the clear villain, it was still endlessly entertaining. Claire and Ben seem like great characters and I can’t help but hope Peter will achieve his well-deserved happy ending by the end of next issue

Spider Man: Life Story 6 is the best issue of the series and Life Story is already, in my opinion, a Modern Marvel classic. This issue had so many twists and turns and it perfectly balanced action, suspense, and emotion. Beautiful work by Bagley

After the disappointment of last issue, Howard’s cosmic debut returns to form with issue 5. Olivetti is, as usual, tremendous, and even though it seemed as though Howard was torn on what this comic was going to be about, everything seems to be coming together nicely. Ebony, Proxima, and the rest of Zero Sanctuary’s dwindling crew have been endlessly entertaining in their plot against Thanos. This comic is just as much about Gamora as it is Thanos. My only complaint is the extremely slow pace

Thor 16 is a masterpiece of a sendoff for Aaron and Del Mundo. I honestly don’t know what the next writer can possibly do after a run like Aaron’s

To be honest, this issue was one of the most pointless comics I’ve read in a while. Seriously, when I finished the issue, I thought, “So what was the point of publishing this?” Nothing extremely significant happened. The high point of this one shot was by far the art, which was fantastic. I’m down for more of these type of issues, though

Secret Wars seems like an odd place to continue Old Man Logan’s story but I’m down for it because Sorrentino’s art is fantastic and Bendis is a great writer. This issue was solid and sets up a huge twist for next issue

It was touching to see Old Man Logan interact with the X-Men again, even if they’re the X-men from the Age of Apocalypse timeline. Having OML’s universe in Battleworld opens up tons of opportunities and Bendis is making the most of them. Good art

Old Man Logan 3 delivers a great first half but full 2nd half when Logan visits Technopolis. Unfortunately, Bendis and Sorrentino worry their own Old Man Logan tale where he has misadventures in Battleworld rather than continuing Millar’s story of Logan liberating America

Bendis seems to be trying really hard to make Logan feel important and it just doesn’t work. Good art but mediocre story

Old Man Logan 5 really bothered me. First of all, Bendis obviously tried extremely hard to make Logan seem relevant and it doesn’t work out, especially now that the original Wolverine is dead. I’m not a fan of Logan moving to the 616 earth either as I’d prefer him to stay in his home Universe and continue his story their. Good effort on art duties from Sorrentino

While the title of this series is certainly misleading, as this issue only tells of one little bit of the 60s rather than the whole decade (therefore not the “Life Story” of Peter), this issue still managed to hit all the emotional tones that I expected it too. I love classic Spider Man tales and Life Story seems to be no exception. Zdarsky is one fire right now and Bagley was pure gold this issue

Wolverine 66 perfectly set ups the rest of this arc and not a ton happens but beautiful narration and dialogue by Miller and absolutely exceptional art by Steve McNiven

I was completely entertained throughout this whole comic, never once the little bit bored. Great art as well

Three issues in and Old Man Logan is already one of the most thrilling and intriguing alternate reality stories ever

Absolutely fantastic. Millar’s take on Red Skull is terrifying and this is one of the most engaging and awesome alternative reality stories ever

Wolverine 70 is gloriously bloody and action-packed, yet it’s all driven by Logan’s love for his family, something Logan doesn’t have in our universe. McNiven knocks it out of the park once again with the art.

I don’t know what I can say here without sounding like a broken record

Here’s this storyline in a nutshell if you still have doubts about reading it: Old Man Logan is action-packed with beautiful art, and it’s incredibly heartbreaking this issue

 Wolverine: Old Man Logan Giant-Size #1 Aug 25, 2019

Once I read the last line on the last page I screamed UNO REVERSE CARD WHAT THE FUCK and preceded to immediately reread House of X 1, Powers of X 1, House of X 2, Powers of X 2, and this issue all over again

The fight between Jane and Bullseye was exceptionally written and drawn, and Jane’s inner monologue was the best part about the issue. Cafu knocks it out of the park again with the art and issue 3 is set up nicely

Batman: White Knight 1 was absolutely fantastic. Murphy outdoes himself with the tremendous art and mind boggling story. This is one of the most fascinating Joker stories I’ve read, and it’s only issue 1

Another wonderful issue by Murphy. It was heartbreaking to see Alfred die and this may be the most fascinating portrayal of Joker ever

The best thing about this series is that you can’t help but root for Jack Napier even though he bound to fall and go back to his joking ways. I’m not liking this Neo-Joker character until we get more backstory on her, though. Murphy does a tremendous job with the art

Again, I can’t help but root for Jack and root against Bruce, and we get that Neo-Joker backstory that was desperately needed. Honestly, the GTO is actually a really good idea

The conversation between Bruce and Harley was easily the highlight of this issue, and it gave them each so much more depth. The relationship between Dick and Bruce is so intriguing and I hope to see it fleshed out more in coming issues

Batman: White Knight 6 is the calm before the storm of these next 2 issues, but that doesn’t mean this issue is any less good. The artwork is great and the whole thing is entertaining cover to finish.

It’s official: Batman: White Knight is up there with Hush, Long Halloween, Dark Knight Returns, Year One, Killing Joke, and Arkham Asylum as one of the all time greatest Batman stories. No seriously, I consider it that good. Sean Murphy outdoes himself with the art and story and each character has so much depth in only 7 issues

Never have I wanted more to rate an issue 11/10. 2nd best Batman comic EVER in my opinion; just behind Long Halloween

I found this final issue of Guardians to be a solid lead in to Thanos Imperative but a weak series finale. Great art by Walker and Thanos is awesome af

Nova 36 was a good series finale and a great lead-in to Thanos Imperative. DiVito, in my opinion, was this series best artist and I hope Abnett finds some place to continue his story about Richard, Robbie, and the rest of the corps

Miguel Sepulveda may be the best artist Marvel’s cosmic line has seen since Ron Lim. Abnett packs so much into this opening issue and I was entertained from cover to finish. Thanos is undoubtedly awesome and Mar-Vel and his Revengers are terrifying villains. One last war for Abnett and Lanning and it looks like the best one yet

Abnett rises the stakes as Galactus and the Celestials join the fight against the Cancerverse. Sepulveda drew Galactus and the Celestials beautifully and epically. Abnett writes Thanos Imperative 2 with such an epic tone and feel to it.

The way Abnett weaves together his dual narratives is pure genius and it’s safe to say Thanos Imperative is Marvel’s next great space opera. Thanos steals the spotlight every page thanks to excellent art by Miguel Sepulveda. The biggest surprise so far is that Darkhawk and the Raptors haven’t shown up yet lmao

Thanos Imperative 4 is chock full of cosmic action, although the plot itself I found lacking. The art is spectacular as usual

This issue was perfect all the way until the last page, when Thanos pledges his allegiance to Lord Mar-Vel in exchange that he kill him. I’m not the biggest fan of this plot twist because I’m not a fan Thanos wanting to be dead, but I have no doubt Abnett and Lanning will deliver a satisfying conclusion next issue

Thanos Imperative 6 is an epic conclusion to the series as Thanos prevails in killing the entire Cancerverse Universe. This series had everything you’d ever need from a Dan Abnett epic: huge stakes, tins of characters, and many casualties (Drax, Nova, Star Lord, Thanos). Amazing job by Miguel Sepulveda as well

Thanos Imperative is looking like another Abnett and Lanning cosmic classic. This prologue issue has everything you could ever want: tremendous art, the Guardians of the Galaxy, Nova, the recently returned Magus, and Thanos himself. What a last page two

This issue gets extra points for being narrated by Cosmo

Nova 34 turned out to actually be a really really fun comic. I loved the “Mortal Combat” format and Asrar’s art perfectly matches the Egyptian setting

The Sphinx himself was a boring villain, but the plot was very entertaining, and I couldn’t be more happy that Namorita is back!

I actually liked Imperial Guard 1 more than I thought I would. Kev Walker’s art fit the cosmic tone perfectly. Although we didn’t get any character moments between the Imperial Guard themselves, it looks like we’ll get some of that next issue as the Imperial guard are joined by the Starjammers to venture into the Fault

We start to get to know the Imperial Guard themselves this issue, although there are far too many of them to get quality character development for each character. Gladiator is still the most interesting character

Realm of Kings: Imperial Guard is nothing special, but Walker’s artwork is really good and it’s amazing to look at him draw all these characters

Things got a lot more interesting this issue, with a lot more action and the return of Talon being the highlights of this issue. Talon and the Raptor Fraternity seem to be Abnett’s favorite storyline and this issue was easily the best of the series. Walker has exceptional art

Gladiator is one of the best drawn characters in this series, and that’s definitely saying something. Abnett does a great job of writing Gladiator as always, and he’s really been the breakout character of Abnett’s cosmic saga

I’m not quite sure what this series has to do with the Fault and the Realm of Kings, but it was a great comic nonetheless. Raimondi’s art is absolutely flawless and Abnett brings the Inhumans alive like no one else since Stan Lee. Abnett has single handily made Crystal one of my all time favorite characters. The Inhuman Royal Family is fascinating to me.

Realm of Kings: Inhumans 2 isn’t as good as the opening issue, but is still does a ton of things well. The Mighty Avengers were by far the weak link of this issue, but Medusa’s reasoning for not wanting the Avengers to help defeat Devos makes her even more fascinating. Seeing the Inhumans as leaders of the Kree Empire is such a nice change of pace compared to the Inhumans comics of old, where they would hide in exile on the Moon. Abnett has taking time to develop Crystal and Ronan’s marriage and it’s turned into the most well-developed and beautiful relationships in Marvel. I never thought I’d be saying Crystal and Ronan would be a great couple but here we are

While I’m barely interested in Triton’s expedition into the Fault, the situation in Attilan is endlessly interesting and intriguing. Crystal is one of the best written characters in Marvel right now and I love every scene she and Ronan share. The threat of Gorgon to the throne gives Medusa even more depth than ever

Realm of Kings: Inhumans 4 is the highlight of the series so far, and one of the best single issues on Abnett’s resume in my opinion. First off, the art is incredible. Maximus is back to his old tricks, but this time with a twist. And Crystal and Ronan finally kissed. Incredible issue by Abnett, Lanning, and Raimondi

Medusa turned out to be the fascinating antagonist for this series, and that scene where she beats up Gorgon was chilling. Crystal and Ronan were extremely well written, and although Triton’s expedition into the Fault was boring and forgetful, I’m 100% down for an Abnett-penned ongoing for the Inhumans

Guardians of the Galaxy 20 is much more slow paced than previous issues and the art during the flashbacks is awful. Abnett doesn’t do a great job of making this issue have any sort of fallout or aftermath from the Guardians’ final fight against Magus, as everybody just jumps into the next adventure.

7.5
 Guardians of the Galaxy (2008) #21 Aug 17, 2019

It was nice to see the Guardians and Luminals team up and the art was a little bit better, but I’m much more interested about what Moondragon said about this Cancerverse that exists at the end of the Fault. Also, what a last page reveal! It turns out Gamora, Mantis, Cosmo, Major Victory, and Phyla are all alive, along with Adam Magus himself

I’m not sure why but I love it every single time Blastaar makes an appearance. He’s just so funny but, like, so cool, you know? Anyways, it’s good that all of our Guardians are alive again and I’m glad Phyla-Vel gets a lot more focus this issue because she is usually the most boring Guardian to me

I immediately forgot everything that happened this issue once I saw that last page. Seriously, this is up there for one of the craziest last pages everywhere. I love Maestrom’s quote too: “You’re fired”

Nova 30 was a solid if slow issue that adds a new centurion to the Corps. I feel like that’s all we got out of these past two issues but it was nice too take a break from all these huge stories for a smaller one like this. Good art too

DiVito’s art is a strong improvement over Sharpe’s and it’s good to see Abnett creator pet himself Darkhawk appear this issue

I feel like a would enjoy this issue much more if I had some background information on this Sphinx character. The art is pretty good but I wish we had more time with the other centurions. I do like the little team Nova has going though, with Darkhawk and Reed Richards

While I’m still a little confused on why I should care about the Sphinx, I am loving the character development between Richard, Chris, and Namorita

Abnett and Lanning have set a high standard for there Comics these past couple years and Realm of Kings 1 falls a little short.

Abnett again perfectly mixes all-out science fiction action with human-tales of morality and the two mixed together just work perfectly. All hail Majestor Kallark lmao

After about 15 issues of buildup, the Guardians finally meet the Guardians of the 30th century. A major revelation is revealed in this future: Black Bolt’s T-bomb creates the Fault that destroys the universe in the future. This causes Cosmo to send Adam a message through Knowhere that he has to stop Black Bolt, but as we know from War of Kings, it may be to late. I loved Craig’s art and it truly was entertaining to see so many Guardians fighting an army of Badoon

Abnett does a tremendous job of melding al his plot lines together. Although this issue was beautifully drawn and action packed, by far the highlight of this issue is that last page: the return of Magus.

Craig’s art was a little too cartoony for my liking, and parts of this issue were boring, but Guardians of the Galaxy does a great job of setting up the next issue

While Guardians of the Galaxy 19 started off rather boringly as Kang sent the Guardians back to there original time to stop Magus. Fortunately, the final battle between the Guardians and Magus was by far the highlight of the series. Star Lord kills Adam Magus with the Tesseract but not before Major Victory, Martyr, Cosmo, and Mantis were all killed

Abnett has done a great job of developing Robbie Rider, as he’s come a long way from being the jealous brother, which is an extremely overused trope anyway. My boy Ravenous is back, which is great because he’s just awesome. Another great issue all and all

Once again, Abnett and Lanning deliver another fantastic issue of Nova. Richard, Irani, and Morrow reach Robbie just as Strontian breaks free, but with all their combined efforts they manage to escape Kree-Lar with Strontian and Ravenous as their prisoners. Back on Nu-Xandar, Worldmind disassembles the Nova Corps, except for a select few. The new Nova Corps consists of Richard, Robbie, Irani, Morrow, Franktur, Qubit, Lindy, and Tre. All in all a spectacular issue that sets up the last leg of this series

After the big stories we’ve grown accustomed too these past couple issues, Nova 29 is a slower, more simple filler story about a lost Nova who returns through the Fault. The art is good, but the pace is too slow, but I’m happy Abnett found time for lighter reads like this

War of Kings 5 is once again another perfect installment of Dan Abnett’s cosmic saga. After the death of Lilandra, the Inhumans have one last desperate plan, which involves Black Bolt sacrificing himself to use his voice and annihilate the Shi’ar fleet. This issue also had a sweet conversation between Ronan and Crystal, and I’m really beginning to enjoy them as a couple. Art was tremendous as usual

War of Kings 6 exceeds my high expectations and ended this event with a bang. This finale was easily the highlight of the series as the final battle between Vulcan and Black Bolt is up their for one of the best fights in Marvel Comics history. Abnett, Lanning, and Pelletier have outdone themselves

War of Kings: Ascension became a better and better series as it went along, although I still wouldn’t be sold on a Darkhawk solo series. This was the high point of this series as Chris retakes his body from Razor seconds after Razor killed Lilandra. Solid art this issue again as well. This series was a great companion to War of Kings but not good enough to warrant a Darkhawk solo series either

This series has really hit it’s stride in War of Kings, and Walker’s art takes this series to a whole new level. Abnett is a Master plotter and writer. I’m intrigued on this Starhawk mystery as well

Abnett can do so much in just one issue and it’s really extraordinary. The action in this issue was perfectly drawn and kudos to Walker for being able to draw so many different Inhumans, Guardians, and Guardsmen. That last page was crazy, as Knowhere comes back to life and tells Adam that only he can save them

I’m glad Richard is back as Nova Prime and Worldmind is back to being good. It’s what made this series so great early on. I’ve really started to enjoy Di Vito’s art. I love how Abnett is introducing us to new centurions like Irani, Morrow, Robbie, Tre, Lindsey, and Ftanktur

War of Kings is shaping up to be better than Annihilation: Conquest was. It’s a beautifully drawn and gritty space war, and I’ve loved every bit. This issue is probably the best yet, thanks to the glorious second half which results in the murder of Lilandra by Talon and Razor mere minutes before she was to be sworn in to become Majestrix. That last page was absolutely crushing

I can’t help but think of the many similarities between the Nova Corps and Raptor Fraternity, but at least Alves’ art is pretty good. This series would be better if I could get past the fact that the Nova Corps and Raptor Fraternity are basically the same

Talon and Razor’s involvement in the murder of Lilandra in War of Kings 4 made this issue much more interesting, as the art was near flawless. I’m glad that Skrull is back because I was beginning to forget about him

Guardians of the Galaxy 13 is exactly what the Guardians should be: this issue was funny, action-packed, and still had a perfect plot and great art. The bar fight was hilarious and this huge roster of Guardians is a team I would have previously drooled over. I was entertained from start to finish and that’s all that really matters

Loki 2 just does so many things right. Loki is downright hilarious throughout the issue and I was in tears when he asked Tony to join the Avengers. Nightmare is written perfectly. I loved Loki’s shirt by the way. I need one of those. Anyways, I hope the House of Ideas Loki ends up at on the last page is the same House of Ideas from Avengers: No Road Home

 Nova (2007) #24 Aug 14, 2019

So the old man from issue one turns out to be Apocalypse. I did not see that coming. I love the way Hickman wrote Cyclops and Magneto. Hickman resolves a long forgotten plot point in Magneto’s island base this issue as well. RB Silva’s art is significantly better. I’m glad Hickman included the Phalanx and the Worldmind as I haven’t heard those 2 words in forever. Nimrod is such an important character and I love it. My favorite parts were by far the scenes with Xavier, Magneto, Moira, and Scott. Absolutely fantastic stuff.

Punisher Kill Krew 1 is mostly a recap of what Frank was up to in Wr of the Realms and a set up for the rest of the series. Nothing of much importance happened in this issue and Dugan seemed to be conflicted on if this series is about Frank hunting Kasyckla or Frank hunting the killers of the orphans’ parents. The art was pretty solid except on Frank’s face

Sword Master 2 did barely enough to keep me interested until next issue. Unfortunately, not too much happens this issue and I would suggest waiting for the trade so you can read it all at once

War of Kings 3 is how all event comics should be written. The story progresses relatively nicely, the art was beautiful, and the last page was so great that it gave me chills

Abnett and Lanning write Darkhawk much more naturally than CB Cebulski, and paired with Alves’ art, this issue was a pleasant surprise. Great cliff hanger as well

This issue by far exceeded my admittedly low expectations. I always thought Gladiator was a very underrated character and this issue gives him so much more depth in the first story. The second story revolved around Blastaar’s war to take over the Negative Zone. Somehow and someway, Gage made me route for Blastaar, and that’s the highest of compliments for a well-written villain.

After a great first issue, War of Kings: Warriors 2 contains to 2 meaningless and skippable stories that were very poorly drawn. The first story has every female very overly sexualized and it was downright ridiculous. It was as if Crystal’s boobs broke the laws of physics. In the second story, Lilandra’s flashbacks were lazily drawn and resembled unfinished animation. The stories itself were meaningless and not worth your money

Worldmind has recruited thousands more for his brand new Nova Corps and it’s just full on creepy. Richard is back on Earth now that his powers are again and he is understandably having a hard time adjusting. Nova 22 is pretty eventful, as Worldmind is revealed to be controlling his new Nova Corps and Richard is given 48 hours to live due to molecular deconstruction caused by his power loss. While this issue was packed with twists, turns, and shocks, I do miss when this series was set in space.

Once again, a ton happens in Nova 23. As the Kree/Shi’ar war begins, Worldmind, Ego, and the Nova Corps depart from Earth to go stop the war. Project: PEGASUS is shut down by Norman Osborn’s HAMMER. Luckily, Dr Necker was able to smuggle Quasar out before Hammer arrived. We learn about Dr Necker this issue, as it’s revealed she’s an agent of AIM while trying to save Richard’s life. Richard feels understandably betrayed and refuses Dr Necker’s help, as they share a kiss. Dr Necker gives Richard Quasar’s vale. Not wanting it to get in the wrong hands after he dies, Richard destroys the vale and frees Quasar. Realizing Richard is dying, Quasar gives Richard his quantum bands, which saves his life and transforms him into the all-new, all-different, Quasar. Overall a fantastic issue with excellent art

Out of all the words that I could use to describe Nova 25, Inthink the best one would have to be satisfying. This issue was by far the most satisfying of the series as Richard becomes Nova Prime again, Worldmind and Ego are defeated, Worldmind reboots and a rebooted Worldmind returns to Richard’s head. Fantastic

War of Kings 1 exceeds all my expectations. It’s a spectacularly drawn, action packed romp through the Marvel Universe, I loved every bit of it

Unlike last issue, War of Kings 2 jumps from group of characters from group of characters, and because of this, this issue fails to pick up any particular momentum for any of the different plot lines. That by no means makes this issue bad though, as Abnett and Pelletier give us an otherwise perfect issue

Cebulski does a great job of writing Chris Powell’s character and I felt myself really invested in Chris’ character by the end of the issue. This other Darkhawk is definitely intriguing, although Tolibao’s art is not very good

I definitely had mixed feelings about this issue. Tolibao did a great job of drawing the Darkhawk and Talon suits, but he absolutely sucks at drawing actual human beings. Seriously, every female has humongous boobs. The coloring bothered me as well. Cebulski wrote some good action scenes and Talon is an intriguing character, but I just found myself wanting more in this issue

Unfortunately, X-Men: Kingbreaker 3 was boring, and that is possibly the worst thing I can say about a comic. Fortunately, Dustin Weaver kept things beautiful with his art and Yost does just enough to get me excited for the next issue

I’m excited for this story to finally conclude in War of Kings, as it’s been going on for a couple of years now. The art was beautiful and the action scenes were written and drawn to perfection

While I don’t like the art, I do love the little debrief logs each character gets. They are absolutely hilarious. Anyways, Guardians of the Galaxy 1 does so much in 22 pages, as it shows the formation of the Guardians as well as some misadventures of them saving the universe

Abnett’s technobabble that explains how Major Victory and Cap’s Shield got frozen in a chunk of ice in space confuses me, but just like last issue, Guardians of the Galaxy 2 is nevertheless action packed and funny

The battle between the Guardians and the Universal Church was kinda boring and I was much more interested to why Starhawk is attacking Major Victory on Knowhere. Pelletier’s art is beginning to grow on me

Guardians of the Galaxy 4 takes a break from the Galaxy-hooping missions as the Guardians stay at home in Knowhere to investigate a Skrull infiltration. By far the best issue to date

Out of everybody why did the Skrull have to be Cosmo😢

Guardians of the Galaxy 6 delivers a killer plot twist as to why Cosmo was helping the Skrulls while the mystery surrounding Major Victory deepens. Fantastic issue

After the shocking events last issue that led to the disbanding Rolf the Guardians, Abnett does a tremendous job of focusing on multiple narratives and story arcs. Easily the best issue of the series so far

The multiple story arcs are equally interesting and intriguing and Abnett makes the Marvel Universe 10x more fun and exciting

Guardians of the Galaxy 9 is cosmic action and comedy done to perfection, plane and simple

Abnett’s immense knowledge of the Marvel Universe paired with his huge imagination make for one of Marvel’s best cosmic comics ever

Wes Craig’s art is easily the best of the series so far and he draws Oblivion spectacularly. Heather is back as well as Wendell and it’s amazing how Abnett juggles all his different storylines

Wes Craig’s art is yet again amazing

Nova 1 is a great start to this series and Abnett does a tremendous job of making this an Annihilation aftermath comic as well as a step in a new direction.

It was good to see Richard back on Earth, especially considering he has spent a majority of his Comics career on Earth. The dialogue between Richard and Tony was fantastic and I enjoyed the little reunion between Vance and Richard. Oh, and Richard’s dad is a total jerk by the way

Richard’s fight with the Thunderbolts was great eye candy by Chen and exceptionally written by Abnett. I loved the revelation that Penance is actually Speedball, and I’m very invested in Speedball after the whole Civil War event. This issue ended with Richard returning to space, but I did enjoy his short vacation to Earth

While I’m not a fan of Alves’ art, it still amazingly refreshing to see Richard back on another adventure after the events of Annihilation: Conquest.

Nova 14 shows that Richard is a true hero, as he is desperate to save every last citizen on Obrucen from Galactus’ inevitable feast while also bringing Harrow to justice. The fight between Richard and Silver Surfer was awesome

After reading these last 3 issues it’s apparent that Abnett’s imagination and writing skills are absolutely incredible. Harrow was a unique and entertaining villain and Abnett completely understands the Marvel Cosmic universe

Richard is finally involved with Secret Invasion and I’m happy he is returning to Terra. It was refreshing to see Kl’rt again but that last page was one crazy cliff hanger

Nova 17 is another high quality installment of Abnett and Lanning’s cosmic saga. The art has improved and this series can always be relied one for some great guest stars, like Darkhawk this issue, Super-Skrull the one before, and Silver Surfer in issue 15

I never thought I’d be so happy that Worldmind was alive again after his shutdown on Obrucen, and I definitely did not see that Wendell Vaughan plot twist coming

Just as I was beginning to like Robbie, they went and made him the annoying jealous little brother. I did laugh quite a bit when Worldmind recruited a whole Nova Corps behind Rochard’s back though😂

Nova 20 is an awesome mini-New Warriors reunion as Richard catches up with Vance and Angelica. This issue was so heartwarming and Abnett is a master of plot development as Worldmind has recruited a whole new Nova Corps stationed on Earth

Nova as a series is slightly more underwhelming when on Earth but I will say that Abnett and Lanning are never afraid to shake things up as Richard is stripped of his Nova powers on the last page

After Deadly Genesis, The Rise and Fall of the Shi’ar Empire, and Emperor Vulcan, the saga of Gabriel Summers continues in Kingbreaker. It was great to catch up with this story again but unfortunately X-Men: Kingbreaker is a light read and one has to wonder how much Yost and Weaver can fit in only 4 issues

Vulcan continues to be absolutely terrifying and it was nice to see extra Gladiator this issue. This issue focuses more on the imprisoned Starjammers rather than Lilandra’s Starjammers, which is a good thing

I’m still not sure how I feel about this book yet. Aero has no personality whatsoever in the main story and the colorist literally only uses blue and grey colors. In the second story, the art is much better and Aero is drawn like an actual person. It’s also much more interesting

Well gang, it’s looking like Agents of Atlas will be plagued with the same problems New Agents of Atlas had. There are way too many characters for each of them to get decent character development, but Amadeus and Silk did have at least some character moments. Pak doesn’t seem to think this is a problem as he immediately introduces a brand new hero and brings Raz Malhoztra or whatever his name is into the fray as well. Parker’s second story was much much more interesting and it was awesome to see the rarely used original Agents of Atlas once again

Loeb’s first story was a ton of fun but Yost’s second story was less entertaining and even confusing with all the untranslated Russian

I’m a sucker for Daredevil. I’m also a sucker for Rick Remender. Remender’s first story was by far the best fight of the series yet, but Andrews’ second fight was poorly drawn and boring

I found it a little strange that Marvel decided to put such an important story in AvX: Vs 5, where T’Challa and Ororo officially end their marriage. Also, Fraction wrote something with Hawkeye in it, so this is definitely worth a read

As with this whole series, this issue is definitely worth your money. Even more so with this issue in particular because of all those one-page fights at the end (though I did find Loeb’s hilarious).

I am really, really sad to learn this series was canceled because month in month out Zub and Cummings continue to amaze me. Sam finally gets his helmet back, Kaldera is defeated and turned into the Nova Corps, and Ironheart takes out Viv Vision. My guess is that Riri is infected by Mephisto or something. Good to see the Freelancers again as well

 Civil War: The Confession #1 Aug 7, 2019

What an incredible opening issue by Soule and Yu. I wasn’t a fan of the first Civil War so I was a bit skeptical coming, but WOW that was good. Yu’s art, as always, is perfect and Soule did an exceptional job with recapping the previous 6 years of the war and setting up Tony and Steve’s peace meeting

Soule does a great job of fitting so much story into only 2 issues and this series is exceptional so far. Unlike the original Civil War, Tony and Steve are both relatable and the fact that Peter has been separated from MJ and their daughter for six years is just heartbreaking

Unless these final 2 issues are absolutely horrible (I’m talking Chuck Austen quality here), then I think it’s safe to say this series is better than Millar’s original Civil War. There’s a reason Yu is Marvel’s best artist and the way Soule makes the reader feel sympathy for both Tony and Steve is terrific.

Civil War 4 is a masterpiece. Like, what more could you want: Steve leads his entire army against Iron Man’s entire army in an absolutely epic battle while Tony goes into the Divide to rescue She Hulk. Tony finds out Jen’s capturer is T’Challa, who’s been manipulating Tony and Steve for 6 years after his apparent “death”. UNO REVERSE CARD. T’Challa did actually die 6 years ago and Queen Veranke of the Skrulls was posing as him.

The plot twist did kind of take away the point from the original series because the Skrulls were manipulating the whole war, but hey, I’m a sucker for happy endings (and Leinil Yu art!)

I can’t put into words how good this was. I’m officially Jonathan Hickman’s whore

Although Savage Avengers 4 was the low point of the series so far, Deodato’s art was still magnificent. I was hoping the Marrow’s motivation was something a little more interesting than destroying the world, but he is drawn absolutely terrifyingly by Deodato. Oh and yeah: Dragon Venom😎

Iron Man 2 is 22 pages of glorious glorious glorious talking. Tony, Maya, and Sal spend most of this issue talking about Technobabble and for a character as fun and innovative as Iron Man, I’m just dying for some action. The art is starting to grow on me though

Iron Man 3 finally gives us some action, and it is awesome. I’m really starting to enjoy Granov’s art and Ellis’ dialogue is great as usual

Iron Man 4 is the best issue of the series so far, as I’m fully used to the art and I’m enjoying this action packed Iron Man thriller, even if the first 2 issues were boring. Although, I still don’t understand why this arc gets so much hype

After Tony’s fight with Mallen over the past 2 issues, Tony is at the brink of death and goes to Maya for help. Tony and Maya think up a plan to save Tony’s life, and it involves merging Extremis and the Iron Man suit to Tony. As Tony is injected with Extremis he relives his origins as Iron Man and I really enjoyed these flashbacks

Warren Ellis’ Extremis arc went out with a whimper, and honestly Iron Man 3 was so much better. The areas pretty good all and all but I’m not a fan of the Maya Hansen twist on the last couple pages

Ferry’s art was definitely a pleasant surprise but I can’t think of a more boring character than the Sentry. Ughh he’s just so depressing and boring but I do love me some Inhumans

Jim Cheung’s art was tremendous this issue but the one word I would use to describe New Avengers 25 is unnecessary. Bendis, what was the point of this issue? Seemed like completely unnecessary filler to me

Not a ton happens in Iron Man 1 and the art is a little to video game like for me but the dialogue by Ellis is perfect and this issue got me excited for the next

Howard Chaykin’s art is absolutely horrible, especially one Steve’s face, and Bendis’s dialogue and character monologues are somewhat choppy. Good action that takes a slower approach to the Civil War event

New Avengers 22 is a huge improvement over last issue, as Yu’s art is excellent and Bendis’ love for Luke and Jessica is apparent. The dialogue is so much less choppy and Bendis understands these characters perfectly

Coipel’s art is great as always, and Bendis excels at writing Spider Woman. I love Bendis’ slow and steady approach to Civil War rather than Millar’s faster approach

For such an acclaimed story line and after reading Long Halloween and Dark Victory l, I felt somewhat underwhelmed by Batman 608. However Jim Lee’s art is spectacular and this is only the first issue of the arc so pretty solid issue

Things start to pick up this issue as Bruce Wayne is tended to by childhood friend Thomas Elliott and Poison Ivy joins the fray

The Hush storyline kicks into full gear with issue 610 and its a joy to read. Excellent art and iconic last page

Bruce and Selina’s trip to Metropolis, while brief, was very entertaining and I don’t understand why writers don’t write Bruce in Metropolis more often. Batman 611 is the best issue of Hush yet

Batman 612 contains one of the best Batman vs Superman fights ever. Even though the Batman vs Superman fight from Miller’s Dark Knight Returns may be better, this is one is better drawn. Jim Lee and Scott Williams’ art is just so colorful and detailed and it takes Batman: Hush to a whole new level

Harley Quin is back and better than ever, and yes, so is the Joker. Catwoman has proved to be an excellent co-star in this arc and the death of Thomas was certainly surprising, considering he was my number 1 suspect of being the man manipulating everyone

Batman 614 delivers some of the best Batman inner monologue ever as Bruce beats Joker to near death for killing Tommy (or did he?). Seeing Jim Gordon again was awesome after the events of the Officer Down story arc, and Hush is shaping up to be just as good as Long Halloween and Dark Victory

Wow. Batman 615 might be the best issue yet. Dick is back and it’s great seeing Bruce and Dick interact again as we find out who the mummy man is AND Bruce unmasks in front of Selina. The identity of the mummy guy was a little expectable but still, Batman 615 was amazing

Batman 616 is a little all over the place, but that’s ok because of how interesting everything is. It’s good to see Talia show up, as well as her father Ra’s. You know the person pulling the strings knows what he’s doing if even Ra’s doesn’t know his identity

This last page may be one of the most important pages in Batman comics if that really a is Jason Todd. The tension between Selina and Bruce now that Bruce suspects Selina was sent to distract him

I give up. Jeph, you really are the master of the plot twist

Riddler is revealed to be the big bad as well as Thomas Elliott, thanks to deception from Clayface and help from Poison Ivy, Harley Quin, Joker, and Killer Croc. Loeb got in a bit over his head but overall I loved Hush, and Jim Lee’s art took the arc to the next level

Batman 598 is actually a pretty entertaining Christmas stand-alone issue. Santa Klaus was a creepily entertaining villain and stand-alones seem to be Brubaker’s strong suite so I hope he writes more in the future

Tim Sale’s is as beautiful as ever and he draws Rome beautifully. Loeb sets up an extremely interesting first issue

While the story itself has yet to pick up the art is beautiful and Selina’s narration is perfect

While Loeb hasn’t exactly been writing the mystery element of this series as well as he has been before, When In Rome succeeds in its action and art

I wish we got a more definitive answer on if Carmine and Louisa are Selina’s parents or not but I guess that’s a mystery for another time. Great art and a great Riddler comic

Powers of X 1 all but confirms that Jonathan Hickman is the best world builder of all time right up there next to Stan Lee, except Hickman can build whole worlds in 1 issue while it would take Stan 100s. For the issue itself, there were no flaws whatsoever and my only complaint is that the futuristic timelines seem kind of cliched in X-Men comics and Hickman’s take on a Mutant timeline wasn’t exactly unique

Batman and Robin painting the room yellow for Green Lantern was pure awesome, and Bruce’s monologue was also hilarious when he thought of Green Lantern. Like I’ve said before, this series is so much better if you don’t take this maniac over the top Batman seriously

While I wasn’t totally disappointed in this series’ abrupt end, I was beginning to be invested in Batgirl’s arc and I was excited for Frank Miller’s plans with the Joker

Avengers 22 is a near perfect issue and my one complaint is how extremely overpowered Robbie’s car is. Don’t know why i just found it annoying Lmao. Stefano Caselli is on art duties and he may be the best artist of the series so far, better than McGuinness in my opinion. I haven’t been keeping up with Johnny Blaze and Danny Ketch these pst couple years, get Avengers 22 was still a fun packed, Ghost Rider maniac tribute.

Really just a meh issue for me. The interactions between the members of Thanos’ crew who would later become the Black Order are super entertaining and the art is extraordinary. One the other hand, Howard hasn’t developed Thanos’ and Gamora’s relationship and it’s hard to tell if this comic is about Thanos and Gamora or about the conflict between Thanos and Magus

I find it disturbing how sex-centered this issue was as Frank Miller takes a considerable amount of time in this comic to write bar punks complimenting Black Canary’s butt. The art is great as usual but this is where I believe Miller starts to fall off the rails. Batman is acting like a complete maniac, but that doesn’t bother me as much as others because he probably seems like a maniac to everyone except Alfred and Robin

I’m very conflicted on whether I hate this comic or love it. Batman acts like a maniac and everybody is extremely oversexualized (Black Canary, Vicki Vale), yet on the other hand, the art is perfect, the dialogue is light compared to other Miller comics, and Robin is written pretty well

As always with jolly Frank Miller, this is simply and utterly ridiculous and crazy, and sometimes, I just can’t help but love it. Lee drew the Justice League better than anyone ever in this issue and I love Miller’s take on the classic team (Clark and Diana kissed!!). We still have some issues with Batman acting insane and literally everything with Black Canary but good issue

I got to admit that I love Frank Miller and Jim Lee’s take on Batgirl so far and I can’t wait for her to interact with Robin. All-Star Batman and Robin isn’t for everybody but many Weill possibly find this enjoyable

Wow ok so in the past 6 issues Batman has been brutally beating criminals but not killing them but now he just burns them to death without a second thought. Seems to me like a leap that Bruce would actually do that and the random and totally out of place sex scene between Bruce and Black Canary was just horribly written. Seems more like Frank living out his fantasies through this comic

After last issue I’ve come to except this over the top Batman, and it made this series so much better? I’m not kidding, I really enjoyed this issue by taking it less seriously, and the scenes with Green Lantern were spectacular

Somehow managed to write a stellar arc even though the first three issue were mediocre at best. Ribic’s art is amazing and the fact that this takes place outside Marvel’s prime timeline helps a ton

Ultimates 11 serves as a finale of sorts and it’s utterly glorious. Maker is one of the Ultimate Universe’s best villains outside everybody from Ultimate Spider Man, and although I’m still trying to figure out what next issue will be about, I’ll just focus on how good this issue was

Hickman and Ribic’s 12 issue mini-saga for the Ultimates concludes as the Ultimates prevail and the Maker is stopped. For the first time in what’s felt like forever, the Ultimate Universe is good again

First off, this was not nearly as bad as I was expecting. In fact it was incredibly better. Miller and Jim Lee give us a fantastic first issue

While Bruce’s characterization and dialogue is definitely off, the art and storyline itself make for an otherwise perfect comic

Hickman and Ribic have truly resuscitated the Ultimate Universe, and Ultimates 8 is another entertaining and intriguing installment of Hickman’s latest epic

Ultimates is just so good, especially considering the Ultimates haven’t even assembled yet. Hickman moves his pieces and players perfectly and it’s just a joy to read

Ultimates 4 is far and wide the best issue of the series. Hickman focuses on one single plot point for this issue, that being Thor on a rampage inside the city because the Children and the Maker killed every last Asgardian besides him. The Maker’s true identity is shocking and Ribic drew this issue beautifully

Ultimates 5 has really great pacing and this issue reads naturally and fluidly. Great art and writing

Ultimates 6 is another great issue and these last couple issues have been fantastic. Another shocking last page as Nick asks Steve to come back and be Captain America again. Speaking of Nick, he is written and draw exceptionally well and I really am enjoying this series

This is unlike any team book I’ve ever read yet it’s definitely not a solo comic. Ultimates is beautifully drawn, ambitious, and unique. Hickman and Ribic are truly masters of the medium

House of X 1 is the single best X-Men comic since 2007’s Giant-Size Astonishing X-Men, more than 12 years ago. This opening issue to Hickman’s grand epic is mostly world building, and HOLY SHIT is Jonathan Hickman good at world building. This entire issue was a blast to read, as I eagerly tried to decipher the Krakaon mutant language and marveled about how detailed this whole issue was. Somehow, Hickman introduces the entire Krakaon civilization, culture, and language in on issue as well as Orphis. Hickman’s interior design is absolutely awesome and House of X has returned Mutants to the center of the Marvel Universe

While Lin Lie doesn’t have the most original origin story (feels like a mixture between Sam Alexander and Oliver Queen), the art is good and there was enough action and mystery to keep my going for the next issue, but ughhh the angst in this issue had me cringing. The second story written by Pak was also beautifully drawn but much more enjoyable as Shang-Chi mentors Lin

While Jason Aaron writing a Thor-related character is bound to be a hit, Valkyrie: Jane Foster 1 surprised me on how natural and fluid it felt. Aaron’s characterization of Jane is fantastic and maybe even better than when she was Thor. Aaron also introduces us to Jane’s supporting cast, including America Chavez’s ex who works for Damage Control, her boss in the Morgue, and Brunnhilde, who’s in the afterlife. The highlight of this issue comes, though, on the final page when Bullseye steals Brunnhilde’s sword.

The fight between Natasha, Bucky, and Recluse was fantastically written and drawn. Although this series has excellent action, art, and espionage, it lacks character development and any sort of personality for Natasha

Wow so both Weeping Lions are dead now and Natasha never even found out why they hated her in the first place. It seemed like Waid had no plans for the Lions after the first 6 issues so he just killed them off to make Recluse seem like a more intimidating villain. Honestly the Weeping Lions were better villains than Recluse and they were guys you could actually root for. Lazy writing but good issue nonetheless

Good issue with a great end that puts this second arc of Black Widow over the top from the 1st

Black Widow 12 concludes Waid’s Black Widow, which was lush was action and espionage but had no character development of personality for Natasha at all

Honestly this issue blew away my expectations. Loki 1 was a laid back introduction to Loki’s reign of Jottunheim and his partnership with Thor as they are both kings. The art was absolutely perfect for Kibblesmith’s tone, and I could easily see this run being better than Agent of Asgard and Journey Into Mystery.

Liu nails the espionage elements that made Natasha such a great character into this issue, while Daniel Acuna’s art is the best thing about this series. Black Widow 1 raises a lot of questions but I have no doubt we will find satisfying answers in the next coming issues

Another neatly-drawn, espionage-mystery thriller from Liu and Acuna. I really love this series so far but my overall enjoyment of this run really depends on if I’m satisfied or not with the various mysteries started throughout these first 2 issues

Elektra’s confrontation with Natasha was very unnecessary but I’m impressed with how much depth and personality Liu has given Natasha

The way this comic is written is a little weird and confusing, which I can say about most mystery comics, but Acuna’s art, Liu’s writing of Nat, and the sweet, sweet espionage make this issue great

The reveal of the person behind all Natasha’s troubles is......Imus Champion. Yeah, I didn’t know who he was either. While an underwhelming finale to Liu’s run, Acuna’s art was spectacular. Black Rose was also an extremely well written character

Black Widow 1 jumps right into the middle of another mess Nat has gotten herself into. Apparently Natasha stole something very valuable from SHIELD, and they want it back no matter the cost? Throughout the whole issue, Samnee draws beautiful action and chase scenes of Natasha and a variety of SHIELD agents. Waid May have just wrote the origin of a very intriguing villain, SHIELD agent Elder, who’s protege got killed in the battlefield due to Natasha going rogue. All this awesomeness, and Natasha only has 1 one line this entire issue. 1. Great job Waid

Black Widow 2 rewinds a little and tells us why Natasha stole whatever she did from SHIELD, and it’s because a man that goes by Weeping Lion blackmailed her into doing it with unknown secrets of Natasha’s past. Waid doesn’t do the best job of writing Nat’s personality and this series is pretty much go go go with the action.

Definitely not enough dialogue for Natasha and I hope all this buildups payoff. Better than Liu’s Black Widow so far but not quite as good as Edmondson’s.

This arc is progressing but Black Widow 4 is still mostly buildup. Waid and Samnee write and draw espionage so well. I wish we knew more about the Weeping Lion himself but still a solid issue

Wow. The parking lot fight scene was absolutely amazing. Samnee’s art really tied it all together and I loved Agent Elder throughout the series and I’m glad he went out with a literal bang. Looks like trouble is in store next issue now that Tony is hunting her after Weeping Lion released her secrets

Outstanding first 2/3 of Black Widow 6 which pit Natasha against Tony now that Weeping Lion revealed Natasha originally kidnapped Yo for Wong-Chu. Natasha’s deception of Tony late in the issue was probably my favorite part yet. Unfortunately, Natasha’s final confrontation with Weeping Lion and his brother at the end was very rushed and unsatisfying

I never thought I could feel so sympathetic for the Weeping Lions. Thanks Black Widow 7, I know see the 1st 6 issues in a brand new light. Fantastic issue and art

The Weeping Lions continue to be the most intriguing and interesting characters of this series, while the Dark Room’s attempted assassination of the Vice President was one of the greatest written espionage and action scenes of the series

While definitely inferior to the first arc, ‘Secrets of Maria Hill’ was a somewhat intriguing yet frustrating arc with great art, dialogue, and narration.

Kilgrave has returned and Bendis and Gaydos paint a realistic and accurate depiction of Jessica’s reaction to his return. This arc could truly be something spectacular

Wow. Kilgrave is an extremely frightening and intimidating villain, especially when he’s speaking through Jessica’s daughter herself. A truly epic issue

In my opinion, this issue puts this series over the top and better than Alias. Bendis and Gaydos write and draw Jessica so, so well and Killgrave is genuinely terrifying. Fantastic character growth throughout the series for Jessica as well

I can’t quite tell if Kilgrave’s promise to do good is genuine or not, but as long as Bendis is writing and Gaydos is drawing I’ll be happy

A satisfying conclusion to this third arc, and to Kilgrave’s story in general. Kilgrave kills himself, as Jessica starts to move on with her family. Beautiful series

Not what I would have expected for Bendis’ finale on the character of Jessica, but it was perfect nonetheless. The simplicity yet touching tone of this issue really made me sad to see Bendis leave to DC

While Widowmaker 1 is technically a continuation of Hawkeye and Mockingbird, this opening issue jumps in way too quick that I barely had time to breath. This is delivered with annoyingly choppy dialogue but with great art and action

I’m intrigued on the identity of this new Ronin and Swierczynski definitely writes better dialogue than McCann. While the story itself is still a little confusing and tries way too hard to spy-like, Widowmaker 2 has enough going for it that I’ll be back for next issue

The identity of Ronin was very disappointing for me as I definitely was expecting someone a lot more shocking, instead of Natasha’s ex-husband. I am impressed on how Dominic has slowly become my favorite character of this series after I found him annoying in Hawkeye and Mockingbird. Unfortunately, Widowmaker doesn’t take enough time for character moments and development like HaM did and the dialogue is just plain choppy

While we got more of the same in Widowmaker 4 from previous issues, Natasha’s deception of Ronin through Fantasia or whatever her name’s Powers was a great twist that ended this series on a high note

Jessica Jones 4 finally gives us some answers to the mysteries set up in issue 1 with a greatly scripted conversation between Jessica and Carol. This issue is by far the best issue of the series so far and I read this comic in no time because it was that good

Wow. I mean just wow. I did not expect Jessica Jones 5 to be this good. Everything that happened this issue was amazing, but by far the highlight has to be the conversation between Jessica and Mr Brownlee. Mr Brownlee originally lived in another universe before his universe was destroyed in the events of Hickman’s Avengers saga. Mr Brownlee survived though, and when Franklin Richards and Molecule Man remade the multiverse, Mr Brownlee fell through the cracks and lives in out universe. Overall, this issue was highly entertaining and had huge ramifications on the Marvel Universe as a whole

Wow. Twist and turn after twist and turn this issue and I loved it. Jessica Jones 6 is a perfect conclusion to this opening arc and Bendis and Gaydos prove they still have got what it takes in the decade between Alias and this series

Jessica Jones 7 acts as a perfect continuation of the first 6 issues but acts as a poor opener to this new arc. Maria Hill barely appears but the Jessica and Luke scenes were just plain heartwarming

The only main problem about this issue is Maria Hill. Yes, literally everything about her. I found it extremely difficult to care about her and the mess she’s gotten herself into and she is obviously a Nick Fury knockoff. Name one thing about Maria’s personality that Nick doesn’t have. I expected more from Bendis, the creator of Maria himself. This does not bode well for this arc, which is titled ‘Secrets of Maria Hill’ considering she is everything wrong with this issue

Sharon felt as shallow and poorly written as Maria did, but thankfully Sharon has a much smaller role than Maria. I find myself highly uninterested in the plot itself, but Bendis’ narration and dialogue is fabulous and paired with Gaydos’ art, Jessica Jones 9 is a great read

This 6 issue arc could’ve easily been 4 or 5 as barely anything important happens in Jessica Jones 10. Great artwork, narration, and dialogue as usual. I just find it really really really hard to care about Maria and her situation

I can’t help but like this issue, as the story finally moves forward in the penultimate issue to this series’ second arc. Jessica takes a file that Maria hid in her dad’s backyard, reads it, and tells Maria she read it. Maria flashes back to the events that led up to her receiving the file from Nick. It was a refreshing little flashback with wonderful art by Pulido. Jessica confirms that she read the file and Maria proceeds to shoot her

An interesting yet inconsistent issue in terms of art and storytelling. Now that Alias is at issue 24, it’s kind of unnecessary for all these cameo now that this series can support itself.

Alias 25 is a fabulous issue with a great conversation between Jessica and Luke on the horrible things Kilgrave did to her. It’s a really powerful and well drawn issue

The part where Jessica quit being a hero because the Avengers attacked her after she attacked Wanda was just stupid. Like, I couldn’t care about that at all. It was just all so stupid. The present day stuff with Jessica facing her past with Luke is good though

While Kilgrave is 10x less frightening in this series then in the Netflix show, the effect Jessica’s meeting with Kilgrave had on her was downright horrifying and Bendis nails the dialogue and narration, as usual

Kilgrave escapes. Kilgrave comes back to Jessica. Thankfully, Jessica beats the shit out of Kilgrave thanks to the mental walls Jean Grey set up after the last time Kilgrave took control of Jessica. Those last couple pages between Jessica, Scott, and Luke were fantastic

After more than a decade, Bendis and Gaydos reunite on a Jessica Jones series, and it’s just as good as Alias was. Although I have way too many questions, this is only the first issue and there is nothing to worry about. Gaydos art is amazingly just as good as it was a decade and a half ago

Jessica Jones is by far a huge improvement on issue 1, as I was interested and engaged the entire time; never once the slightly bit bored. The art is beautiful and Bendis’ dialogue and narration is divine

So far, Jessica Jones is shapI got up to be even better than Alias, as Jessica meets new villain Alison. There was no action or fight scenes at all this issue and yet it is still amazing, which is really a testament to Bendis’ writing skills. I sure love Luke Cage’s involvement and I hope Jessica and Luke make up

Bendis writes the small town vibe well, and this comic’s element of mystery is one of it’s strong suits

This arc is shaping up to be the best arc of Alias yet as Jessica investigates a small town missing persons case. Alias 13 is full of twists and turns and Gaydos’ art is beautiful

Rebecca Cross delivers a message to Jessica, but that message was in fact meant for the real weird. Rebecca is a Mutant and she lives in a racist and stubborn town. She runs away and Jessica is hired to find her and bring her home. Jessica forcibly takes Rebecca back home and Rebecca complains why she runs away. She says life’s too short to live in a town like her home town and she find who she really was when she ran away. It was a really powerful part of the issue and one of the most powerful moments of the series.

Bendis is showing off his mastery of dialogue. When you think about it, not a single action sequence has taken place in the first 15 issues, yet they were still entertaining thanks to Bendis’ meaningful dialogue between his characters

The appearance of Mattie was surely a surprising, with big ramifications for future issues, though Jessica’s interactions with other characters overshadowed Mattie’s appearance in this issue

Scott and Jessica definitely have chemistry and are perfectly written by Bendis. Bendis gives J Jonah Jameson tons of depth which made me happy because he is one of the best characters Marvel owns.

I’m just not as invested in this case as I was with the small-town one. Like, Jessica doesn’t even do any investigating: Malcolm’s friend conveniently has most of the answers she’s looking for about Mattie. This issue still gets a high rating though, because of course I enjoyed the dialogue between Jessica, Malcolm, and Denny’s sister. There’s just too much to love about this series to give it a low rating

Jessica’s narration and dialogue give her so much depth and make her one of Marvel’s most well-rounded characters. Jessica’s confrontation with Denny and his gang is pretty boring but the narration, art, and dialogue make up for it

Yes! Jessica Drew! Jessica Jones! Jessica team-up! Anything Bendis writes with Spider Woman in it is gold, so therefore, this is gold

Again, I’m not really impressed with the conclusions Bendis has been giving these arcs. Also again, the art and dialogue art AMAZING and you should definitely read this series

Of course Bendis had to include a Spider Man retcon in this series. Of course he did. I know it was minor but God you know how much I hate retcons. And the art was awful

Wow. Do I just read a comic where 15 year old Jessica Jones fingers herself to a picture of Johnny Storm. Anyways, the art improves and I liked this flashback comic to the origins of Jessica’s powers. And yes, that first sentence actually happened in this issue

Not much of a conclusion for our Rick Jones wannabe but this issue had a really clever twist when the doctor Jessica was talking to about the fake Rick turned out to be the same guy Jessica had been hired to catch cheating on his wife.

I’m definitely not a fan of the painted art and the play-like script for this issue. It just made it that much harder to read this issue and I think Alias 10 could’ve been something really special if it were in normal format. Nonetheless, this issue was still hilarious and J Jonah Jameson is pure gold

Wow. Alias returns to form with the start of an all-new arc and it was fantastic. The art was perfect by Gaydos for capturing that small town tone and Bendis writes every character perfectly, from Jessica to the cop, and from Mrs Cross to Mr Cross.

The F word is said many many times. The N word is said once. Luke and Jessica do anal sex. Marvel Max really knew what it was doing lmao😂. Anyways, great opening issue which Bendis makes so realistic. Alias 1 feels like it could actually happen in real life, and there’s a guy with unbreakable skin. The art is beautiful and the pacing is a little slow, but that’s ok when you have perfect dialogue from Bendis

I can’t explain enough how excellent Alias is. For a comic published in 2001 it was far ahead of its time. Gaydos’ art makes this series perfect and that last page was crazy

Somehow I really enjoyed this issue when 80% of it Jessica was just sitting around in a police precinct getting interviewed. That’s how good the dialogue is. Also, Matt Murdock is in this issue so of course I’m going to like it

99% percent of the time I like the TV show more than the comic (Daredevil, Punisher, Defenders, Agents of SHIELD, Runaways, Luke Cage), but Alias is better than the Jessica Jones tv show was, and that includes season 1. Amazing work by Bendis and Gaydos

A slow and talkative ending to the first arc that left me wanting more, but I think that’s the point. Jessica meeting Steve was perfectly written and drawn by Bendis and Gaydos

Jessica and Carol’s lunch was masterly written and absolutely hilarious. The last couple pages set up more cameos for future issues

The pace could be a little faster but Bendis’ spot on dialogue and Gaydos’ perfect art make up for that. Glad that Rick Jones is getting some love and respect

If you were expecting tons of action and violence, Alias isn’t for you. Alias 8 is basically one long conversation between Jessica and Rick on how Rick’s life sucks and what they can do to change that.

War of the Realms Omega deals with the aftermath of the War of the Realms and what comes next. Each story is beautifully drawn and this issue has convinced me to buy Loki, Valkyrie: Jane Foster, and Punisher Kill Krew when they come out. Also, who else is down for a Jason Aaron Daredevil series after Chip Zdarsky is done because Aaron’s Daredevil story in this issue was fantastic

Another perfect issue by Aaron. Aaron’s pacing and dialogue are really the best in the industry at the moment and you get lost in the world of the Avengers while reading this comic. The art is beautiful and the humor was spot on. The way Aaron sets up so many future storylines for the Avengers is a good sign that this will be one of the best Avengers runs ever

Sam and Kaldera’s misadventure in space is a breath of fresh air for a Champiosn series fresh out of a couple War of the Realms tie ins. I love that Zub is continuing Sam’s story from previous series and his master of continuity was on display with his reference to Amazing Spider Man 9

Everything Fraction and Brubaker have been writing is starting to all come together and it’s honestly beautiful to read. Every panel with Davos in it is perfectly written and this series’ wide cast of characters and mastery of Iron Fist’s mythology make this series an absolute joy to read. The art isn’t as good without Aja but it is still decent

Wow. What a way to end the arc. The character development of Davos throughout this series was spectacular as, in the end, he teams up with the Immortal Weapons to prevent Hydra from destroying Kun Lun. Danny destroys Xao’s train. Jeryn’s mom is saved. Orson’s granddaughter, Lei Kung, and the Thunder army overthrow the corrupt Wu-an and his priests. Wu-an escapes, Xao jumps off a cliff while revealing the existence of an eight city, Lei-Kung becomes the new Yu-Ti while Orson’s granddaughter becomes the new Thunderer. A lot happened this issue and it was entertaining start to finish.

Immortal Iron Fist 15 tells the story of Bei Bang-Wen, the Iron Fist from 1827-1860. Unfortunately, Fraction’s heavy narration and Evans’ mediocre art made this issue hard to enjoy. Still a fun issue nonetheless

The end of Fraction’s run is this issue and it just may be the best issue yet. Aja’s art, as usual, makes this comic 10x better. The story picks up back in New York, with Danny running a Kung-Fu daycare for low income kids after school. After the events of the first 15 issues, Danny has changed. He has promised to disband Rand Industries and make it the world’s largest non-profit charity organization. Jeryn leaves the company and Rand buys him and Luke’s old Heroes For Hire office. Danny asks Luke to join him at Rand to help people everywhere. Danny and the Immortal Weapons are working on trying to prove Xao’s claim of an eighth city, to no avail. Danny goes home and does some reading in the Book of the Iron Fist. Danny notices something. Every single Iron Fist before Danny has either died or lost their powers at the age of 33. Luke, Colleen, and Misty walk in with cake, screaming the words: “Happy 33rd Birthday Danny!” Wow, I can’t believe Fraction’s run ended like this when their is so much more story to tell. This series was fantastic and I highly recommend the first 16 issues to everybody

This oversized special of Immortal Iron Fist is chock full of inconsistent art, although the story itself is pretty entertaining. This issue chronicles the tails of the many encounters between Orson and the Prince of Orphans, and while somewhat boring, this issue succeeded in adding to Fraction and Brubaker’s overall story

The war is over and Thor is all-father! Del Mundo’s art has definitely improved yet it still has ways to go (King Thor and Odin look identical, Malekith looks like a woman). Anyways, the punishment Malekith got from Hela and Karnilla was clever yet brutal, as well as well deserved. Pretty excited for Valkyrie: Jane Foster as well

Immortal Iron Fist 11 is perfectly paced and moves the story along nicely. I never knew I could care so much about the world of Iron Fist but Brubaker and Fraction have made me care. Amazing issue

Very inconsistent art hurts this issue’s rating as Aja only draws part of it. Lei-Kung recruites Danny for his revolution against Yu-Ti. We finally get to see the Prince of Orphans in action and, on the last page, Prince of Orphans joins the revolution, revealing himself to be Orson’s Thunderer

Aja is the best Iron Fist artist ever. Seriously, he’s spectacular. The action was great and Danny’s narration was perfectly written. While I still have some questions, I have no doubt Brubaker and Fraction will provide satisfying answers

Spectacular issue as Orson and Danny finally meet. This series has so many moving prices and although it can be hard to keep up, there is tons of payoff and twist and turns. I’m strongly invested in Orson’s story as well as Danny’s

I have to applaud Brubaker and Fraction for this issue. 99% of writers would’ve had Danny and Orson team-up, defeat Davos and Hydra, Orson would tell Danny his story, and then Orson would be yet ANOTHER member of the superhuman community. Brubaker and Fracfion smartly ended Orson’s story by killing him off to move the story forward.

 Immortal Iron Fist #6 Jul 8, 2019

I know filler when I see it, but I like filler from time to time. I definitely miss Aja’s artwork and this issue itself was very unnecessary, but it was still somewhat enjoyable and a nice breath of fresh air

Brubaker and Fraction’s followup to the Last Iron Fist story begins with Danny being taken to Kun Lun by Lei-Kung and Yu-Ti to compete in the ultimate Kung-Fu tournament. It’s just as awesome as it sounds

The tournament begins as Danny fights Fat Cobra. The rest of the 6 contestants are mysterious and intriguing and I can’t wait to learn more about them. Excellent art and story yet again

Danny begins to make his way back to Kun Lun after meeting with Orson’s biographer in France while Xao tries to intercept him and Lei-Kung plots against Yu-Ti with Orson’s granddaughter caught in the middle. The Wendell and Davos flashbacks are interesting too

10/10 writing with 5/10 art. But still, great annual

This issue definitely started off a little slow and boring, the second half of this issue brings the rating up to an 8.5. The battles between Sam vs Sin was perfectly drawn and dialogued, while the battle between Ian vs Zemo was also spectacularly executed. We all know Ian probably isn’t dead, and this issue made Hydra’s plot seem more unique and threatening than it did last issue

The art is great by Immonen but Armadillo and Cobra were just so bland. The fight between Cobra and Armadillo vs Sam lacked any suspense and seemed extremely generic. One the other hand, Misty Knight continues to be the co-MVP of this series.

All-New Captain America 5 may be the best issue of the series yet. Sam, Misty, and Ian, who’s alive again, attempt to stop Hydra from detonating there bombs that would sterilize millions. Zemo continues to be one of my favorite villains ever, and Remender can almost write Sin as well as Brubaker can

Somewhat boring issue and the last stand between Sam and Baron Blood, which was supposed to be the climax of the series, seemed pretty bland. At the end, Misty reunited with Sam and somehow has tied up all the loose ends, like recapturing Lucas. On the other hand, Misty convincing Taskmaster not to blow up his bomb by paying him more than Zemo did was by far the best part of this series. It was great. This issue ends with a cliffhanger that doesn’t seem to be leading anywhere. Yeah, not a fan of that

Perfect issue. Brubaker and Fraction write a gritty Iron Fist series that also examines the history of previous Iron Fists. The art is absolutely amazing. Like no joke this is some of the best art in comics ever of all time by David Aja and it fits the series and tone perfectly. I enjoyed this series so much. On the last page though, when we meet the Iron Fist from the WW1 era, I wonder how he is still living. We’ll probably learn why in a later issue but incredible comic right here

Immortal Iron Fist 2 is just as shocking, interesting, gritty, and well drawn as issue 1 was. The Luke Cage cameo was pretty awesome and Orson is an intriguing and mysterious character. Somehow, Brubaker and Fraction have got me interested and entertained by the business dealings of Rand Industries, and the threat from Hydra seems real and intimidating

Definitely a better issue than I was expecting. Shanghai is drawn beautifully even though I’m not a fan of how Aero herself is drawn. Aero 1 immediately sets up its main protagonist apart from most of the other heroes of Earth as Lei not only protects Shanghai but helps build it as well. The second story by Pak is also entertaining and more relevant to what’s going on in the wider Marvel Universe. Not going to lie, this blew past my low expectations

First of all, I want to say how happy I am that Ian co-stars in this comic, because after Remender’s Cap run Marvel could have easily done nothing with him and he would have just sat in limbo. Anyways, Immonen’s art is terrific and this is a satisfying first issue with a lot of action. I love Batroc’s update costume

It’s not that this series is mediocre as much as it’s not as good as you’d expect from Rick Remender. So far, this series has a huge variety of villains and the only one who’s written somewhat well is Crossbones. Lucas is very intriguing and his powers are terrifying, while Hydra infiltrating the superhuman community just seems like a tired and old trope. Shocking last page

A shirt but sweet flashback issue to Cap and the Invaders’ early days written by the creator of the Invaders himself Jerry Ordway. The pace was fast and the issue was nice and simple and beautifully drawn. There aren’t enough issues like this these days but seriously read this issue for the art if for nothing else

Best issue yet. Savage Avengers is quickly becoming one of my favorite series. Mike Deodato is doing his best art ever and Savage Avengers has the best art in any Marvel comic. The team has finally come together nice and naturally as Kulan Gath succeeds in summoning the Marrow God. Logan had some hilarious moments and this series holds nothing back. It’s awesome to see Conan alongside these Marvel Anti-Heroes

Not worth your money to buy this, but if you read off a pirated comic site or on Marvel Unlimited, this issue wasn’t bad. Bad part was the art

This first issue blew away my expectations. Winter Soldier: Bitter March 1 is nothing what I though it would be. The year is 1966 and SHIELD agents Nick Fury and Ran Shen are dispatched to recover 2 Nazi scientists who figured out the Alchemy Formula, one of Arnim Zola’s unfinished project. The US needs to find them before Hydra and or Russia can get to them. Nick and Ran infiltrate Castle Hydra, get the scientists, and as they are about to make their getaway via glider, the Winter Soldier attacks and nearly kills Nick and puts Ran and the scientists on the run. Amazing art too

While to early to tell, Winter Soldier: Bitter March is shaping up to be one of the best limited series I’ve read in a long time. The story and plot are flawless and the art sets the tone perfectly. I love this issue

A classic espionage Cold War comic combined with a prologue for a comic set in modern day. That’s basically what this series is, and it just works. Winter Soldier is a prominent character, but not the main character. This series is absolutely exceptional in every way. Anyone else notice that Mila gets bustier and bustier way issue😂😂?

While I don’t see the reasoning behind Remender having Bucky regain his consciousness, the writing for Ran Shen is great and this is probably one of the best Winter Soldier stories ever.

Wow. Now that was a perfect finale. It was BRUTAL to watch Nick Fury destroy Milla and Bucky’s helicopter, knowing they were so close to freedom while Ran sat helpless. The action was great as well as the art. Drain and Chancellor Cassandra are perfectly set up for their future actions in modern day. Ran’s story comes full circle as he is no longer the democracy-defending patriot as he has slowly transformed into the West-hating man who will one day be called the Iron Nail

The pace moves along nicely as the penultimate issue of this arc deals with the loss of Steve’s son. According to Sharon, who killed Ian, Steve has only been gone from Earth for half an hour while 12 years have passed in Dimension Z. Captain America 9 is packed with character development and action. I feel safe saying Dimension Z is the craziest Captain America arc ever.

The finale of the first arc of Remender’s Captain America is near perfect. Steve and Sharon convince Jet that her father was truly evil and that if they allow his consciousness to survive, billions of people will die. Zola’s consciousnesses uploads into an enormous robot that attacks the 3 of them. Sharon rigged Zola’s station to explode before it can reach Earth and she sacrifices herself to destroy Zola’s station so Steve and Jet escape. Oh yeah, if things weren’t awesome enough, Ian survived and is now the protector of Dimension Z

Another great issue as Steve and Jet return to Earth. It’s truly tragic, considering Steve has spent more time in Dimension Z than in modern day. Sam is back and he adds a refreshing boost to the series. Nuke is on the loose in Europe but his manipulator is still yet unknown. Fantastic issue that deals with the fallout of the first 10 issues

While Captain America 12 focuses heavily on villains with unknown agendas, like this Iron Nail person and Nuke, watching Steve and Jet attempt to readjust back to the world is extremely intriguing. The parts of this issue with the villains didn’t really connect with me, hence the lower than usual score. Pacheco is just as good as an artist as Romita so far

Klein holds down the fort with his art in the absence of Pacheco and Romita Jr. The first half of the issue deals with Iron Nails infiltration of SHIELD to reach the Weapon Minus program with Bucky caught in the middle. The second half deals with Steve confronting and fighting Nuke in Europe. Great issue with fabulous pacing. While Nuke is a fairly bland villain, Iron Nail is shaping up to be an intriguing antagonist

The beginning of this issue with the rich man and Iron Nail was extremely powerful, and the Nuke and Steve fight scenes continue to be the best things about this arc. Good to see Sam having a role in all this as well. Jet is by far the most intriguing and interesting character

One of the best parts of this comic is how relatable every character is. Steve is trying to readjust to the world after spending 12 years in Dimension Z and losing the love of his life and his son, and he is in a very damaged state. Iron Nail sees the flaws in the West and how the rich live well while the poor suffer, and he wants to hangs all that. Nuke wants his country to be victorious and he wants to defend the America Dream. Jet is torn between the ideals of her father that she grew up with and the ideals of the man who saved her life. Remender is outdoing himself

Captain America 16 is a one-off character study of Jet Black, and I enjoyed it. There were some shocking twists and great art. Doesn’t add much to the overall plot by this issue does develop Jet Black some more

Iron Nail is still a convincing villain yet Captain America 17 spends more time with the mysterious and quirky Doctor Mindbubble. Tons of action and perfect pacing.

Boom. There. Dr Mindbubble is now an interesting villain and Iron Nail also continues to be interesting. These 2 continue to be very relatable, as I’m sure millions across the globe see America as a disease to the world just as Iron Nail does. Remender’s Captain America run is spectacular and I don’t understand the hate it gets

The first half of the issue with Steve trapped in the mindbubble was perfectly written, as you want it to be real even though it isn’t. Steve no hesitation deserves a happy ending. The second half of this issue is heavy with action but far less interesting

While Steve’s monologue by Remender is perfect as usual, this issue was somewhat boring

The boring 1st half of this issue is redeemed by the last third of this issue, which makes this the most game-changing and shocking issue of Captain America since he died way back in Brubaker’s Captain America 25 in 2006. Absolutely incredible work by Remender and his jovial band of artists

Zola is back, with his old boss Red Skull this time, as the last arc of Remender’s run begins. Pretty awesome issue as usual so not much to say

Extremely satisfying issue. Steve and Ian finally reunite. As we all could have guessed, Sharon is also revealed to be alive as well. I love how Remender connects this arc to what’s going on in his Uncanny Avengers without confusing the reader.

Captain America 24 serves as a great lead-up to Axis, which is a conclusion of everything Remender has written, including Uncanny X-Force, Secret Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, and this series. While it is a great lead-up, it serves as a poor penultimate issue to this series itself. Great art, though

I know this issue gets a lot of hate because Sam replaces Steve as Captain America, but I loved it. Great art and a huge cast. Some of the jokes were cheesy, which is why this issue is 9.5 instead of 10. Sam was the obvious choice to replace Steve and the epilogue was awesome

Captain America 1 takes a while to get rolling, but this opening issue begins the arc perfectly and Romita’s art was amazing. The flashback scenes were brutal and I love how Steve’s flashbacks are from before he got the serum, which is a rarity

Remender had a lot of his plate by following Brubaker’s acclaimed Captain America run, and the only way to follow up a grand epic like that is do something completely different. Gone are Brubaker’s espionage and gritty tones, as they are replaced with Remender and Romita’s sense of sci-fi epicness. With an all-star creative team of Rick Remender, John Romita Jr, and Klaus Janson, Captain America is a bold new story for Steve Rogers

Remender’s flashbacks of Steve’s childhood are phenomenal and set the themes and tone for the series. Steve never gives up. Steve never backs down. Steve always stands up. Somehow, these themes are apparent even when Steve has been stranded in a foreign dimension ruled by one of his greatest enemies for years. Many won’t like this run compared to Brubaker’s, but I love it

This series so far has been chock full of action and emotion. The bond between Steve and his son Ian through only 4 issues is a testament to Remender’s writing skills. The art reflects Remender’s tones perfectly. This may be the best Arnim Zola story and it’s not even halfway done yet.

The flashback scenes are wonderful and I prefer them so much more than the usual WW2 flashbacks. The main story is full of action yet it’s still emotionally centered.

This may be the most risky and unique Captain America story of all time, and really, that’s the only way Remender could follow up Brubaker’s run. The relationship between Steve and Ian is perfectly written and the suspense when Steve was trying to save Ian from Zola’s brainwashing was incredible. Remender’s Long-term storytelling is at its best

While some of these issues are starting to feel repetitive, the way Remender writes Steve’s narration more than makes up for that. A truly great comic in the making from an excellent creative team

Wow. What a last page

Amazing issue one. Art is some of the best art I’ve ever seen. Read Sturm’s notes at the end too

Wow. Just exceptional writing and art. The time and effort Sturm put into this comic is insane. No wonder this won best mini series of 2003

One of the most interesting and intriguing comics I’ve ever read. Telling the story of the REAL fantastic Four is a work of genius by James Sturm

If you are a Fantastic Four fan or a Marvel fan in general, you need to read Unstable Molecules. It has my highest recommendations

Magnificent first issue. Brubakers narrating and Epting’s art give Marvels Project a perfect tone similar to Busiek’s Marvels. Brubaker nailed this first issue and I can’t wait to see how he continues the origins of the Marvel Universe!

Another excellent issue of Marvels Project as the distinct storylines begin to form. Ed Brubaker’s narrating skills are almost on par with Busiek’s in Marvels, and that’s a huge compliment. The art is absolutely extraordinary. I can’t recommend this series enough so far

Brubaker and Epting attempt to recreate the Namor vs Human Torch fight that Busiek perfected in his Marvels series. While Marvels Project’s version of this iconic fight comes nowhere close to the original, the rest of the issue was as beautiful in the art and dialogue as it was in the previous 2 issues

It doesn’t get much better than this. Brubaker and Epting’s love letter to Marvel’s Golden Age continues to be extremely entertaining. I read each issue in 10 minutes it’s that good

While usually I hate when marvel comics do flashback to WW2 stories because of how often they happen, Marvels Project is absolutely fantastic and everything a flashback comic should be

You experience so much emotion while reading Marvels Project and that is one of the best compliments I can give to a comic. Epting’s art sets the tone and it’s key to the impact to this series

The pacing is absolutely wonderful. Brubaker’s writing of the narrator, Thomas Halloway, rivals that of Busiek’s writing of Phil Sheldon

Almost as good as Marvels. Almost

While Fantastic Four’s dialogue absolutely sucked and the plot was confusing, I couldn’t help but be somewhat entertained and enjoy the art

This series has so many flaws and I just expected more from Matt Fraction. I knew it would be hard to follow Hickman’s run, but wow this is underwhelming

The penultimate issue to this series is action packed yet still confusing and horribly scripted. Not Fraction quality at all

The best part of this issue is that this series is over. The barbecue on the moon was awesome though, but there are so many loose ends and plot holes that this issue was extremely frustrating

While the main plot itself is confusing and poorly explained, the art is still perfect and the Foundation kids are still cuter than ever

Instead of focusing on the Foundation’s wacky adventures, FF 14 focuses on Doom becoming the Annihilating Conqueror by combining powers with Kang and Annihilus. It’s an interesting concept yet poorly executed. Scott Lang is written and developed exceptionally though

Watching the kids attack Latveria with robots and pretending it’s a video game was awesome. I love how the 2 teams are Julius Caesar and Sun Tzu. That was a great part of the issue but the team’s assault on Doom felt rushed and poorly executed

FF 16 had some major flaws, yet it was still a serviceable ending to a great series. The barbecue an the moon was awesome but their were far too many characters and loose ends.

Fantastic Four continues to be extremely frustrating. None of the characters have individual personalities and there’s been no character development at all. This issue started off so slow and boring that I almost didn’t make it to the somewhat more exciting second half awake

Everything has taken a step back since Hickman’s run. This series would be droppable if FF wasn’t so good.

FF 9 is a near perfect issue of this series. The art is perfect, the kids have a hilarious yet emotionally written scene in a pool party, and the team meets an ancient alien who ties in to the main Fantastic Four story.

Things get REALLY interesting as Maximus breaks free. I wasn’t a big fan of the other story line this issue: which was the team and most of the kids taking Matt Fraction and Mike Allred one a trip. It all goes wrong when Artie and Leecg are revealed to have stolen a tiger. It was quite funny but Fraction and Allred’s appearance was a bit too much

Fraction and the Allred family do it again with a 10/10 issue as Impossible Man kidnaps Scott, Medusa, Jen, and Darla to try to convince them to let his son Adolf join the Future Foundation. Adolf is reluctant but after a talk with Medusa he agrees to go with the 4. The Medusa/Adolf conversation was one of the most well written moments of this series

While the She Thing vs She Hulk battle was a massive disappointment, the scene with Adolf and Luna watching some Marvel Anime more than makes up for it. Also, the main plot is beginning to form as everything is starting to come together

The synopsis for this issue makes it seem much more epic than it really is, as Avengers 20 is a character study into She Hulk. It’s pretty intriguing, but this issue was way too drawn out and felt unnecessary. The art was mediocre

The family visits the planet Ayleth as a chance to explore, but it’s also a chance for Reed to try to find a cure for his lethal disease. It turns out Ayleth itself is sentient and sees the family as food and tries to eat them, and after some action and a chase scene, the family escapes. Bagley’s art is good but nothing unique, and Reed gets most of the character development and panel time compared to the other 5. This issue was nothing special and at times boring but overall solid

The Fantastic Four go to a new planet this time, one with a thousands of years old prophecy of the Fantastic Four. The citizens of this planet see Sue as the messiah, and it’s really quite funny. We get some sweet and cute Reed and Sue flashbacks before they got there powers and this issue is told through Reed’s eyes. He narrates a letter where he tells Sue he’s sorry for being so distant as he’s trying to find a cure for his disease and he can’t stand ever being away from her. He goes back in time and draws a picture of him and his family on a cave wall and draws a heart around Sue. Later, the aliens discover this cave drawing and come to worship Sue for millions of years. I liked this issue a lot more than last issue, especially the Reed and Sue moments. The art was great and Fraction did a solid job

Fraction’s Fantastic Four so far pales in comparison to the greatness of Hickman’s run but really the only way it’s readable is if you don’t compare the 2 at all. Fraction struggles to write Franklin and Valeria, which was arguably Hickman’s strong suite. Johnny doesn’t do much at all either. This wacky little time travel story was intriguing and pretty good if you don’t compare it to Hickman. Just nothing special is happening at all

I was not impressed with this issue at all. First off, it was completely unnecessary and the art was confusing. The fight scenes against Blastaar are mindless and Reed’s technobabble with the aliens at the end of time is extremely boring. Lousy, lousy issue

Fraction just tries to do to much. You’d think with a team as critically acclaimed as Fraction and Bagley you’d be reading a better comic but it’s all just so mediocre

There was some good and bad moments to this issue. Ben gets to be human for one day a year and he chooses to spend it in 1953 on Yancy Street. We finally get to meet Ben’s favorite aunt Petunia and his uncle Ira as the Yancy Street gang demands payment from them. Ben defends his future aunt and uncle and although Bagley’s 1953 art sucked the issue itself wasn’t that bad as Ben continuously shouts Yancy Street don’t bend while fighting off the gang

This whole issue just felt remarkably unnecessary as Ben and Reed go back to witness the accident that creates Doctor Doom. Reed and Ben get most of the development and panel time in this series while Sue gets some and Johnny does absolutely nothing. Seriously, it’s been like 4 issues since he’s used his powers and he’s the only one not to know about the sickness that’s killing him by the end of Fantastic Four 9

The first half of this issue is spent with Reed once again explaining the disease that’s killing him to Johnny, Franklin, and Val. Johnny is understandably angry that he was told last. The whole conversation is uninteresting and felt like I’ve read it before. The family discovers a Skrull posing as Ben Franklin in 1776 and while it’s interesting and a good time, it falls short of being fantastic

The Wizard has brainwashed Medusa and kidnapped his clone Bentley 23, one of the more under appreciated characters of Hickman’s run. Fraction writes this issue perfectly and Allred’s art fits the tone. And that last page: Annihilus is back!

The team saves Medusa and Bentley as Doom, Kang, and Annihilus unite.

The pacing is nice and slow, which really fits this series well. Olivetti’s art is great and Thanos has never been drawn better in my opinion. The relationship between Thanos and Gamora is well written and Thanos’ crew continue to be the most entertaining characters. This comic shouldn’t work at all but it just does

Truly epic penultimate issue to this series. Young Thor, Thor, King Thor, and Jane team up to take on Malekith and his army of Venom-infested soldiers. The battle is amazing and you can sense the awesomeness. Great issue

The perfect final issue of War of the Realms. In my ways, War of the Realms is the greatest and biggest Thor story ever. This final issue is a culmination of everything Jason Aaron has wrote for the character. Jane has one last go as Thor. Thor rebuilds Mjornir and embraces himself as unworthy, making himself Worthy in the process. Malekith is defeated. Daredevil and Loki defeat Laufey. Thor becomes all-Father. Truly an epic for the ages, especially as each page is layered with some of Dauterman’s best art to date. Thank you, Jason and Russell

Not a single hero had an individual voice or personality in this series. I was looking forward to this series and it turned out to be a massive disappointment so hopefully the Agents of Atlas series coming in September will be a lot better. Great action, nice twist, and solid art give this issue a respectable rating

Surprisingly brutal final issue. This is not a good War of the Realm tie-in. At all. But it is one tremendous Punisher story. If you are new to comics and are wondering what Frank Castle is all about, this is a great comic. The twist ending was brutal and this was a pretty unique yet somewhat forgettable tie in

Scott and Darla has some great chemistry and character interactions. The art is pure eye candy from Allred and I can’t wait for Scott’s confrontation with Doom, the man who killed his daughter. The Future Foubdation kids are the best and although I miss their interactions with Franklin and Val, I love them all the same.

Wait a hilarious little issue. The Moloid Kids miss The Ben, and they’ve replaced him with The Jen, who happens to be She Hulk. She Hulk and Wyatt Wingfoot go out for Valentines Day and the Moloid Kids need to break them up and woo Jen themselves. They recruit the services of Bentley 23, because he’s great at this villain stuff. It’s a hilarious issue as the 5 kids try to ruin Jen and Wyatt’s date, only to bring them closer together. We need more issues like this, Marvel

FF continues to be one amazing comic. The 2 groups of characters, the Foundation Kids and the new FF, mix perfectly to deliver some of the best humor comics has seen, with some of the best art comics has seen. FF is far better than Fraction’s Fantastic Four series. Scott and Darla are easily the most well written characters in this book

The misadventures of Scott’s bumbling crew of heroes and genius kids continue as Medusa apparently kidnaps Bentley 23 himself. Bentley was introduced early on in Hickman’s fun and he proved to be an extremely fascinating character during that run. Fraction has been giving as clues for a while that Medusa is up to no good with Bentley and now her plan has come to fruition

I like Fraction’s slow pacing in this issue and Bagley’s art was great. Fraction knows how to handle this team and I love both titles so far

I was extremely pleased with this issue, as I love the Future Foundation. Allred’s art is excellent and I already find the new Fantastic Four entertaining

A great sophomore issue as the new Fantastic Four defeat Mole Man. Darla transforms into Ms Thing and the real Fantastic Four fail to return after the promised 4 minutes of absence. Fraction’s pacing was absolutely perfect and Allred is the mvp of this series

While not the worst issue ever, Fantastic Four 556 is pretty bad. The whole issue is an overpowered robot fighting basically every hero in the 616-Universe. CORRECTION: The whole issue is Reed, Ted, and Alyssa TALKING about an overpowered robot fighting basically every hero in the 616 universe. 90% of the battles take place off-panel, and the only reason I can think why is because Millar didn’t know how the robot was going to defeat all those heroes so he just did it off panel. Lousy

Reed’s plan to defeat the robot was extremely clever and well written while Reed and Sue’s wedding dinner was probably one of the most of touching and heartwarming moments in Fantastic Four history. First half of the issue was lazily written but the art was great

Intriguing issue as Millar writes Johnny perfectly.

Still too many questions and not enough answers for my liking. Art is still good by this whole run so far feels inconsistent. I expected more from Mark Millar and Bryan Hitch, considering they are 2 of the most accomplished creators in recent memory

We get some answers as to why the New Defenders are here and they are actually quite satisfying and interesting. They came back from the future to power an enormous time machine to teleport all 8 billion people from the year 2509 to the year 2008 because they live in a world of violence, war, hunger, and disease. My biggest complaint is that Doctor Doom is massively underpowered

There was a ton of buildup for the death of the Invisible Woman all for nothing. Instead of Invisible Woman dying, Invisible Woman from the year 2509, who we’ve known for like 1 issue, dies and Millar thinks we care. I do love how the refugees from 2509 went to Nu-World, as Nu-World is by far the most interesting concept Millar has executed thus far. I’m interested to see how Valeria develops as well

A lot of this issue was spent on the funeral for Invisible Woman; Invisible Woman from the year 2509 who we’ve known for one whole issue. The whole scene was beautifully drawn but soooo unbelievably unnecessary. We don’t care about that Invisible Woman, much less to read through half an issue of her funeral. Even more unbelievable is the fact that many of Marvel’s heroes showed up to this funeral. Like, they never ever met this Sue at all. Then at the end of the issue Doom tells Reed about his “Master” are coming. Seriously, Doom has a master. Doom, the biggest most powerful being on Earth. Millar just writes Doom awfully and I have so many problems with this issue.

I honestly enjoyed this slower, light issue. I know Debbie and Ben won’t last in marriage but I’m still invested in their relationship nonetheless

A solid Christmas story with Reed’s cousin in Scotland but I was hoping this could just be a fun and sweet Christmas story but it looks like the town has some evil secrets. Still a good issue though

Wow. So the only reason Hamish invited Reed and the family to Scotland was so that Korgo would eat Valeria and not his son Angus. I actually agreed with Hamish’s reasoning near the end of the issue their and that’s a sign that Millar did a great job

I find it weird that Doom’s Master has never appeared or been mentioned in a comic before if he’s had such a significant impact on Doom’s life. I’ve stated before that I hate the idea of Doom having a “master” because he’s supposed to be the ultimate big bad. Seems like Millar left his good FF writing skills on his run of Ultimate Fantastic Four

I see what Millar is trying to do with Marquis and Reed, as he’s trying to tempt Reed to prevent billions of deaths by killing one person, but Reed won’t do it because he’s a hero. Unfortunately, Millar’s execution is lackluster and this run pretty much sucks

Millar executes Debbie and Ben’s break up perfectly and the art is great but other than that Millar goes out with a whimper. Overall, this run had some exceptional concepts that just weren’t executed well at all. Deep, deep, down Millar’s Fantastic Four is a good comic, and I really believe that. Nu-World was cool and it was featured a solid amount in Hickman’s run. This run just felt too inconsistent and poorly executed to me

Fantastic Four 1 blew away my expectations. I was expecting a train wreck following Hickman’s run, and even though this isn’t Hickman quality, this issue has tremendous art, a great family-centered tone with all the great Hickman characters and heartwarming and funny tone. I just love it

Phenomenal start for Millar and Hitch. Hitch delivers some of the best art this series has ever seen, and that’s saying a lot. Millar’s pacing is a little slow, which is exactly how this run should begin. The tone is light and funny, yet adventurous and family-centered. Everything the Fantastic Four should be

Millar can write Reed Richards absolutely perfectly. He’s also cane up with some awesome ideas for this series like Nu-World. Millar is delivering 10/10 art. This issue gets a 9/10 and not 10 solely because Thing, Sue, and Johnny aren’t in as much interesting situations as Reed is

The art really grew on my this issue and Waid got me genuinely interested in this new Frightful Four

Fantastic Four 516 is basically all action, which is good and bad at the same time. The action was fun but people would switch opponents suddenly and off-panel, which made the fight extremely confusing. Also, Johnny screamed “Cole” about 8 times. I don’t know why just found that annoying

Great issue by Waid and Wieringo. For the first time in this run, the FF family go up against one of those world ending threats as alien devices land around Manhattan Island. A lot of great action and character interactions. Ben and Johnny’s humor is as great as ever

Zius explains why he attacked Manhattan, and it’s because Sue is the only person in the universe that can help Galactus eat planets now that Zius is turning them invisible and Sue can make them visible for Galactus. Wieringo was great as usual, especially when he draws a small army of alien dogs attacking the family

Galactus comes to Earth and kidnaps Johnny to be his new herald after Reed switches Sue and Johnny’s powers. Great issue with great art that sets up Waid’s final arc

One of my favorite scenes of this whole run is when Johnny is asking Galactus where the bathroom is on his enormous ship. It geeked 😂. Anyways, Waid’s characterization of Johnny was spot on and even though the other 3 members didn’t get too much panel time, Fantastic Four 520 was still a great issue

Yo Johnny got bold there when he called Galactus a fraud and called him by his real name. Great art and story. Sad to see Waid’s run end

This issue was slightly more boring than I was used too but that last page and the art make up for it

Waid excels at making characters seem more human then they ever were before. Usually it’s Ben Grimm or Doctor Doom, but in the penultimate issue of Waid’s run, it’s Galactus. Great art again by Wieringo

Perfect sendoff

Fantastic Four 508 is easily the most shocking issue since 500, as a member of the family dies. While Porter’s art isn’t as high quality as Wieringo’s, he draws the characters’ emotions exceptionally. I’m glad the family is leaving Latveria, but it will be interesting to see how and when Waid will inevitably bring the fallen member back

It looks like Ben Grimm will be resurrected sooner rather than later. This issue was a ton of talking, but Wieringo is back so that’s a treat. It’s funny how the family is unsure if Heaven exists if they’ve literally gone to Hell. Just wanted to point that out

As a catholic, I’m kind of particular when comic stories involve God, but Waid doesn’t do the worst job. This was one of the best drawn issues yet

A touching and heartwarming reuniting of the Fantastic Four. Honestly, I would’ve stayed in Heaven. Funny twist how God looked like Jack Kirby

These are the types of issues I love. Low stakes, beautiful art, lots of laughs, and the greatest comedy duo in Marvel: Spider Man and Johnny. Honestly, this might be the best drawn issue of Waid’s run so far

The laid back and comedic tone Waid has set in these last two issues is incredible. I loved when Ben was watching Spidey and Johnny get pummeled by Hydro-Man and started recording on his TV. Great issue was AWESOME art

I do like Waid giving a lot of attention to this new Frightful Four but this art honesty sucked

Wieringo doesn’t exactly nail the art and Waid leans to heavily on events that take place in Books of Doom, which isn’t that good of a comic. Other than that, Waid writes a frightening Doom and sets up his biggest arc yet

Fantastic Four 68 is the most shocking, action-packed, and suspenseful issue yet. Doom reveals that Val is an extension of his senses thanks to a couple spells he put on her right after her birth, and Reed, Johnny, and Franklin create multiple gizmos to help Johnny get revenge on Ben for dropping a mega water balloon on him. Valeria says her very first word: Doom. And by reasons unknown, the lab begins to catch fire so Reed starts his teleporter to get Franklin to safety. Franklin goes in too soon and ends up in a demon dimension. It was just as crazy and awesome as it sounds

Fantastic Four 69 is the most gloom and doom is issue of Waid’s run so far. Get it, gloom and DOOM. Nevermind, that was horrible. Anyways, the Fantastic Four travel to Latveria after they find out Doom has possessed Val, and Doom seems to have made some sort of alliance with the Haazareth 3, who are demons. This issue sets up a showdown between Reed and his science vs Doom and his magic. Not as funny or touching as previous issues but still a delight of a comic

Fantastic Four 70 has a much better flow than the last issue and everything comes together perfectly for the grand 500th issue. Waid is writing the best Fantastic Four run since John Byrne

Although this landmark issue started a little slow, it gradually turned into an epic for the ages and made the Unthinkable arc one of the best in decades. Fantastic Four 500 achieved everything it needed: it was beautifully drawn, epic with tons of action, nostalgic, heartwarming, and it effects the Fantastic Four for the foreseeable future. What an issue

Spectacular issue. Fantastic Four 501 is a perfect aftermath issue to 500 yet it manages to be great and engaging all the same. This series continues to be all about family, as it should be

The interactions and development these characters get from Waid is quite phenomenal. Sue and Ben’s talk with Franklin at the carnival was one of the best comic scenes of the year, as well as Johnny trying to convince Reed to kill teenage Doom

An interesting and intriguing issue with a shocking last page. Porter is the perfect artist to draw Latveria.

Waid has finally developed the Reed vs Doom rivalry after decades of no development at all. We know Doom will be back one way or another, and Reed is actually being proactive about it. Very interesting issue. Loved it

Reed’s behavior is definitely erratic. I prefer Wieringo to Porter and the pacing is a little bit slow but still a great installment of Fantastic Four

I love that the Fantastic Four, Reed in particular, are trying to be proactive against Doom but this pace is extremely slow

Finally some much needed action and drama for the final issue of this arc. Seeing the family in Latveria has been cool but I think it’s time to go home

By far the most enjoyable and best issue of this mini-series so far. The whole League is finally together and Kurse is revealed to be none other than Waziria, one of the founding members of the League. The League fight Kurse and the dark elves while Ro works on a way to magically free Waziria. This was a solid issue with a lot of fighting and this issue felt more like a Spidey and the League comic than just a Spidey comic, as it should be

This whole 2-part story feels like filler instead of a War of the Realms tie-in. Heck, this story takes place BEFORE War of the Realms, yet Marvel still advertises it as a tie-in. The best moments of the issue are when either Janet or Tony are fighting Sadurang, but unfortunately Simone takes time away from that to show how Tony’s armor is mystified or something. Simone writes Tony’s narration horrifically, and it does not sound like Tony at all. Pretty cool art though and nice action

In my opinion, Journey Into Mystery was the best tie-in to War of the Realms right up alongside Avengers. This first half of this issue showed our team of baby sitters save Laussa from Ares. The second half it is revealed Laussa herself influenced the team on their journey, and that Ares was being manipulated by that western ghost rider. The team dynamic is great and the art is some of the best in comics right now. Thori makes for some endless laughs and the McElroys have a great respect for continuity

The finale to Aaron’s Daredevil story was pretty disappointing, as Wilson Fisk doesn’t even appear. Kurse is revealed to be Waziria, which I thought was a cool twist but Matt’s speech was so generic and his fight with Malekith was boring. Aaron just doesn’t quite understand that Matt is a devoted Catholic, and that he wouldn’t refer to himself as a god. The best story is Cantwell’s Dr Doom one. It’s unique and refreshing and it really gets to you. In my opinion, the Doctor Doom story is the best of the series. The She Hulk story was pretty good but poorly drawn

Perfect way to start Waid’s run. The character interactions were well written and interesting and this issue sets up the run’s themes through FF Inc’s meeting room. I love Wieringo’s art as well

Fantastic Four 61 is a funny issue, yet it also manages to be full of heartwarming moments between the family. This is exactly what the Fantastic Four should be

Not as many comedic or touching moments as the last issue but Waid writes the main 4 characters perfectly and he writes the strange and unusual foes of the FF just as well. The art could be better for Sue and Franklin but everything else is, well, fantastic

Fantastic Four 63 is perfectly balanced with action and family moments. For example, Johnny fights Modulus at his business meeting in a big battle while later in the issue Reed and Sue console Franklin because he thinks they will love him more if he was smarter. That scene was very powerful and this is a great comic

A satisfying conclusion to the first arc of Waid’s run, Sentient. Reed destroys Modulus by creating his equality inside his computer thing (there’s a lot of technobabble, hard to follow along). Reed tells Modulus that Reed will never feel the love he feels for Franklin. It was a touching father son moment, as well as their game of cards after the conflict is over. Basically, Waid excels at writing the family chemistry of this team. The interactions between Ben and Johnny are hysterical

Issues like these are why Waid’s run is already so great. I never found myself bored once in Fantastic Four 65, and as the arc is titled, it’s the small stuff that makes this issue and run so far, great. I don’t know how to explain it but this issue just... works!

Fantastic Four is simply an absolutely extraordinary comic. This 2-part arc was simple yet amazing, as Reed and Ben attempt to exterminate a stowaway bug from the Leviaverse while Johnny and Sue try to stop the whole world from becoming pure unstable molecules. It works perfectly and Waid understands the Fantastic Four and their world

I’ve been waiting for an arc like this one ever since Soule began his run. Soule is lawyer himself and the courtroom scenes he writes are spectacular. I tend to find comic trials boring but Soule made this one somewhat entertaining

Morgan is possibly the best artist on this title yet, even better than Ron Garney. Matt temporarily teams up with Jen Walters this issue and I can’t believe Wilson is back! Wilson Fisk makes this series so much better and I can’t wait for more

Soule’s Daredevil is really hitting it’s stride as Morgan delivers the best art yet and Kingpin, Legal, and Tombstone continue to try to take Matt down. You have no idea how great it was to see Matt and Doggy rekindle their friendship

Tons of legal vocabulary that I mostly failed to understand but that’s ok, because that makes this arc all the more realistic. Matt has developed so much these last 25 issues and that’s a sign of a good run

Good to see Blindspot back in the fold and this series wouldn’t be complete without the Hand

Ron Garney draws China perfectly and immerses you in Matt’s world. Sam is one of the most interesting characters in this book and the parts with all the illegal immigrants are very powerful and have real life applications

Daredevil 28 continues this series’ hot streak. Great art and great story. And that last page. Wow

A great start to the biggest arc of the series yet. Landini’s art is immaculate and for me he is the best artist so far. He draws Wilson Fisk so realistically and it goes perfectly with Soule’s dialogue. Matt has been through the wringer the last 28 issues but this is when everything comes together

Kingpin vs Daredevil never gets old, but I guess they’re partners now? That’s right, newly elected Mayor Fisk calls Matt at the DA office and offers him to become deputy mayor after his Supreme Court victory- and Matt says yes! Of course Matt is just trying to take Fisk down from the inside but Soule has entered unknown territory in the history of Wilson Fisk vs Daredevil

Daredevil 597 is a perfectly paced and drawn issue, and I can’t emphasize enough how great Stefano Landini’s art is. He’s the best artist of the series. Wilson Fisk is the most intimidating villain thus far, and he is drawn incredibly realistic. A great issue as Wilson begins to enact his plan to save New York, whole Matt will do anything to stop him

Everything is beginning to come together for the big 600th issue as Blindspot’s nemesis Muse joins the fray. This continues to be the best arc of Soule’s run and is better than a lot of Waid’s arcs as well. Ron Garney delivers his best art yet

Daredevil 599 sets the stage for the 600th issue while being a great issue all on its own. Daredevil is in a conflict with his greatest enemy: Wilson Fisk, while Blindspiot is in a conflict with his greatest enemy: Blindspot. They need help, so Matt assembles his friends: Danny Rand, Luke Cage, Misty Knight, Marc Spector, Peter Parker, Jessica Jones, and Maya Lopez. I can’t wait for next issue

Sam’s and Matt’s battles with their greatest enemies conclude this issue as Sam refuses to kill Muse, much to the Beast’s dismay. Muse kills himself anyway by jumping into a fire. Wilson brutally beats Matt before his big rally as Peter, Luke, Jessica, Danny, Marc, Maya, Misty, Hammerhead, the Owl, Diamondback, and Felicia are all captured by the NYPD in a sting operation. Adding to all the chaos, hundreds and of Hand ninjas attack the city. Spectacular work by Garney and Soule

Another fantastic issue. After Wilson is hit with 6 arrows by Hand archers and has to be taken to the hospital, we find out his replacement: Matt Murdock himself. The city is under siege, the Defenders are in jail. Daredevil is the only hope

We finally figure out why the Hand is attacking New York, and it’s because Blindspot stole the Beast’s power to fight Muse, and the Hand are back for revenge. Daredevil and Blindspot fight ninjas into the precinct only to find a huge gap in the building while Foggy covers for Matt back at city hall. Pacing is a little slow and the art isn’t as good as Garney’s or Landini’s
8.5
 Daredevil (2015) #603 Jun 17, 2019

Though I’m all for more Catholic characters in comics, this just all seemed so ridiculously goofy and silly compared to a rather realistic and grounded series

Definitely an improvement on last issue as things begin to cool down

This is just... weird. Make no mistake, Daredevil 606 is a perfectly paced issue and Phil Noto is by far the best artist yet. But why suddenly make Mike Murdock real? He’s been a joke of Matt’s imagination since the Stan Lee days in the 60s but Soule made him a real character. Just... weird

Soule’s explanation for Mike being real is that Reader read his name in Matt’s files after falling asleep and thus he came to life. It makes sense but Wow it is unsatisfying. Great art and pacing, though

Though a weird and unnecessary arc, Daredevil 608 featured some of the series’ best art by Phil Noto, and this issues’ conclusion was satisfying as Mike accepts a job from good ol Parker Robbins aka the Hood!

I loved this issue, and even though “Death of....” stories are used FAR too often, they always tend to be deep and entertaining reads. So far, Death of Daredevil is no exception. Oh, and Elektra’s back!!!

Death of Daredevil is shaping up to be another Daredevil vs Kingpin classic. Although I find Vigil extremely lame, I do love me some Elektra. Speaking of Elektra, this was bound to happen: Matt slept with Elektra. Soule had gone his entire run without Matt hooking up with a girl before this issue, and knowing Matt, that is no small feat. Anyways things look like they are wrapping up and I’m loving this arc

The meat of this issue is a beautiful drawn yet obviously rushed fight scene between Matt and some of his oldest enemies, and it makes no sense. Tenfingers was there even though Muse killed him earlier in the series. Ikari was present even though he died back in Mark Waid’s run. Gladiator was their even though he and Matt were on good terms. Great last page though

Wow. Did not see that coming

The issue I’ve been waiting for since this series began is finally here! Daredevil 17 made me feel nostalgic for Waid’s Daredevil while also appreciating Soule’s run all the more. I completely forgot about the purple children and I love how Soule has embraced Waid’s run, even if they have complete opposite tones for Daredevil. Heartbreaking what happened to Matt and Kirsten

Crazy stuff. It seems like Kilgrave or the purple children were the ones who made Matt’s identity a secret again and this a great flashback arc

Daredevil 19 is further proof that Charles Soule understands Daredevil. Ron Garney knocks it out of the park every issue on the art

Soule did the impossible: He somehow explained how Daredevil’s identity is a secret again without time travel or something controversial. He somehow found a satisfying way to do it and I know that was a hard task. One of Marvel’s best titles right now

I did like Luke and Maya teaming up with Matt again, reminded me of the Bendis days. Anyways, the story itself, which is Matt trying to end all crime in the city as a lawyer and as Daredevil, seemed pretty uninteresting to me. It’s basically that time when Matt became Kingpin in Bendis’ run, but this time he’s wearing black, so I guess it’s different

While Matt’s objectives for trying to win the Poker tournament are unclear, Daredevil 8 was still a fun, unique, and suspenseful issue with solid art. Too bad we don’t get enough Blindpsot in this series though

I love a good Spidey/Daredevil team-up, but something just felt off. Soule wrote horrible dialogue for Spidey, and the whole team-up felt pointless until Matt explained the briefcase at the end of the issue, and even then it still felt like Matt was lying to Peter. Lots of action and good art give this issue a good rating though

I’m glad Blindspot is back in the fold, despite this issue being boring. Ron Garney is back on art, which is definitely a good thing. Nevertheless, Daredevil 10 is a boring set up for a hopefully more exciting arc

Soule writes the dialogue and narration so perfectly and theirs never to little or too much. He does this so well that even though not too much happened this issue, Daredevil 11 had such a nice flow and I couldn’t help but getting immersed into Matt’s world. Ron Garney’s art dits this creepy story amazingly

I find the Inhumans so unlikeable even when their main writer Charles Soule writes them. Inhumans have been used and written so horribly since the Infinity event and that’s a shame because they were great before that. Anyways, pretty good arc and I loved Blindspit getting more character development

Daredevil by Charles Soule is in such a good groove right now each issue is just so good. I don’t know how Soule and Garney managed to pull this arc off, but with one issue left, they have

Daredevil 14 does everything right and it’s easily the darkest issue yet. What started off horribly in Daredevil 10 ends with the best issue yet in issue 14. Blindspot better be ok!!!

Instead of explaining what’s happening from an outside 3rd person perspective, Soule tells this issue in Matt’s perspective and even though it can be confusing at times, Daredevil 15 is proof that Charles Soule truly understands Matt

I wish Matt would turn back to his faith because that was a huge part of who he was for decades and then Kevin Smith happened. Don’t know what the point was of Father Jordan but I can tell next issue will be a mindblower

Echo continues to be one of the most frustrating Marvel characters of all time, as I just can’t understand how she understands what people are saying when she’s deaf. Yes, she can lip read, but it’s impossible to lip read that well and sometimes Daredevil is obviously facing the other direction and Echo still understands him. The issue itself was boring and far to quick a read for an annual. I suggest skipping it

Garney’s art really grew on me this issue and Soule writes perfect dialogue for the characters. I love how Soule has returned Daredevil to his dark roots after Waid’s run made him a more jovial character

Charles Soule just understands who Daredevil is, and it shows in this issue. The art is great and I love Blindspot as well. As it has been for 30 years, Daredevil is a tremendous comic

Daredevil 4 is a fast read, but an enjoyable read. The pace is nice and quick and Ron Garney draws a unique tone. My one hope is that Kirsten McDuffie at least appears at some point

Blindspot continues to be the most interesting character outside of Matt himself. And Soule does a great job of balancing Matt’s vigilante and lawyer life. This comes as no surprise, because Charles Soule has himself a law degree

I’ll never complain when Elektra is in an issue. Unfortunately, the art dipped in quality with this new artist and this issue was somewhat boring, even with that last page twist

I’m kind of glad Elektra never had a daughter after all, but what’s the point of taking two full issues to tell us that? I wonder who brainwashed Elektra though?

Interesting start to a hopefully legendary run. I dislike Ron Garney’s nearly colorless art and Soule didn’t completely nail the dark tone but very intriguing issue. I hope we learn more how Matt made his identity a secret again. Also, I love the idea of Blindspot

Solid start for the spinoff of Hickman’s Ultimates. Good art as well

Slightly disappointing sophomore issue as the pace slows down and the battle and fight scenes are poorly executed with Hickman and Sandoval’s mediocre art

Extremely uninteresting and slow issue. Hawkeye himself does less and less each issue

Somewhere deep down a good comic was in Ultimate Hawkeye, but it just tried to do too much and too little at the same time, if that makes sense. Just doesn’t feel like a Hawkeye comic, and he doesn’t even do much in this series anyway. Unnecessary miniseries that could’ve taken up half an issu in Hickman’s Ultimates series

Ultimate Thor 1 starts all 3 stories for this mini, and the parts of the issue taking place in 1939 and the one eons who are tremendously written and engaging by Hickman. The first story taking place in the present was a little slow and boring but I have no doubt it will hook me in next issue

The 3 different stories begin to connect here and I love the brotherly chemistry between Thor, Loki, and Balder. Carlos Pacheco outdoes himself

The most exciting issue yet as Hickman nails his depiction of Loki and Thor. Hickman gets the Norse tone just right and Pacheco draws it perfectly

Hickman and Pacheco nail Ultimate Thor’s origin on the head. Great IUltimates prequel

Though there is definitely potential, this opening issue throws so much at you in so little time that it’s hard to process or care. Art was good but not Esad Ribic quality in my opinion

Ultimates needs to let the reader take a deep breath and process everything that’s happened, or more like what Nick Fury has talked about what’s happened. Doesn’t seem like an Ultimates comic as much as it’s a Nick Fury, Thor, and Iron Man comic.

Ultimates finally figures out what story to follow and it’s actually pretty entertaining. The team has finally assembled with Fury, Tony, Thor, Black Widow, Clint, and Spider Woman. Solid issue and the Maker and the City continue to be the best part of this comic. Unfortunately, I’m not a big Ultimate Universe guy and this comic wasn’t good enough to keep me coming back

While Asgardians of the Galaxy was never great, it was always an adventurous and solid comic, which is why I’m sad to see it go. This finale is obviously rushed, but it acts as a glorious send off for the team in the huge battle that is the War of the Realms

The final War of the Realms tie-in for this series focuses more on the lesser-known members of the Champions, which will be more of a commodity it the future as Zub has fully disassembled the core Champions. Sam is in space without his powers. Miles quit because he made a deal with the devil and now Kamala has quit after seeing a vision of her dying in the future Miles prevented. Victor Alvarez got the spotlight this issue as he led the charge against the Disir. Great issue and great art

Fear Itself: Black Widow tries to explain the bad guy’s plot while Natasha fights a small army of French mercenary, and it fails at doing 2 things at once. The Black Widow fight scenes are great but I was confused on what the mercenaries and Rapido were actually up to and it went from Natasha being captured to Rapido having nuke codes without much of an explanation

Beautiful art and great action. I really wasn’t expecting to like this issue but I did

I feel like Giant Man got progressively worse as the series went on. In this issue, Tom, Scott, and Raz get no characterization or development at all. Erik somewhat develops after he reunited with the Frost Giant-aligned Moonstone. The art was solid but it was pretty obvious that Leah Williams didn’t know if she was writing a rescue comic (For Scott’s daughter Cassy) or a revenge comic (For the dead Loki). Pretty disappointing that these 4 didn’t avenge Loki by killing Ymir

This was amazing!!😂😂😂

David Aja’s art is obviously the best part about this book, but Wolverine: Debt of Death tries to explain scenes with just the art and no words at all, making the first half of the comic confusing. The second half of the comic had a nice flow thanks to Latham and any comic with Nick Fury and Logan in it is sure to be interesting

It took a while for Janson’s art to grow on me, but his legendary depiction of Daredevil won me over. The pacing was a little slow but I loved Bendis’ narrating. Ben Urich has always been one of Bendis’ favorite characters to write and I can’t wait for next issue

Daredevil: End of Days somehow excels at telling a last Daredevil story even though Matt Murdock himself isn’t even in it. This series leans heavily into Bendis’ Daredevil run and even though it is unclear how far into the future this takes place, Bendis succeeds in immersing the reader in this dark, Matt Murdock-less future

Another fantastic issue as the Ben visits former lovers, friends, and enemies of Matt. End of Days is a fantastic mystery comic while being a haunting, glum futuristic comic at the same time

Bendis and Janson are making a modern classic for Daredevil as this, for me, is already one of the best Daredevil comics ever. Bendis gets a ton of hate, and this comic is not why. The art is done to perfection and it’s very intriguing to watch Ben Zurich unfold this mystery

End of Days continues to get better and better each issue as Frank Castle enters the fray and the new Daredevil’s identity is revealed!

Absolutely mind blowing. Hints have been dropped about the big mystery Ben is following and when it all starts to unravel you can’t help but stare in awe at the beautiful pages and perfect story

I absolutely love how Timmy Lange, Ben Urich’s Adopted son and the autistic kid from Bendis’ first Daredevil story, is the new Daredevil after Matt dies. Bendis grooms Timmy perfectly as a character in this series after Matt saved him in Daredevil 19. The death of Ben is tragic but this series is all around tremendous. Now to next issue, were we hopefully find out what Mapone means

What a perfect issue. This may be the end, but in many ways, it’s also the beginning

Uhhh I did not like this issue. First of all, it was incredibly boring. Like it was super super boring. Tony and Matt meet up with Kitty at the mansion and basically recap what happened in the miniseries and add up their clues. Turns out the corporation behind everything in all 4 miniseries was Soteria, a mysterious yet powerful company. Sound familiar? Seriously though, a mysterious and powerful company is like THE most overused thing in comic history. Hunt For Wolverine just feels so generic at this point. Sure, we got some answers this issues but even more questions popped up, like who is Persephone. We know she is controlling Logan and owns Soteria, but why? We don’t even know how Logan is alive yet. Basically just a set up for Return of Wolverine

I wasn’t expecting to like this issue but in the end the fight scenes were excellent and I like the team dynamic and art. Don’t know why but this issue works well. Still not enough from previous issues to make this a 7.5 or above though.

I don’t see what the point was of Betsy getting her original body back even though she looks exactly the same and this series contributed little to the overall Hunt For Wolverine story, although there was solid art by Silas and a battle between a bunch of classic X-Men against some new 90s-like Mutants in Madripoor. Also Magneto was involved. Mystery in Madripoor works as Nostalgia for the X-Men Days of old, but fails to contribute much to Hunt For Wolverine

The premise for this series is horrible but Soule and McNiven surprising make the best of it. This issue wasn’t good but it wasn’t bad either. Still a lot of unanswered questions but great art and Soule shows he can still write Logan

Solid action but Wolverine is just written so bland and confused by Soule that it’s frustrating. The mystery is just as uninteresting and boring but at least the art is nice. Ana, who’s Logan’s companion in his quest to kill Persephone, is basically just a rip off of countless other of Logan’s love interests. Not recommended, step back even from the Hunt For Wolverine minis

Shalvey’s is by far the highlight of this issue. Logan, who seems completely out of character even though he has amnesia, attacks the X-Men. The fight between Logan and the X-Men is poorly executed by Soule and unexciting. Looks like we are getting some answers next issue, and they better be worth these first 3 horrible issues

Return of Wolverine is awful. We did get some answers to how Logan is Alice but it’s so not worth it and this series and issue in particular is so horrible. It amazes me that this is the best Soule could come up with to resurrect Logan

A real shame that this was so bad when Death of Wolverine was so good. I am infinitely glad this isn’t an ongoing series. Art is great but other than that not much too like except the line “What’s one more”. Someone mentioned how great that line was and I completely agree. I don’t know why but the last page angered me so much Imao

I don’t really understand why these 4 Avengers promised Logan whatever they promised him but the flashback was entertaining and nostalgic to Bendis’ New Avengers days and the present day story was interesting enough to keep me reading. That last page was a real surprise though

Tom Taylor kind of just throws X-23 and Mr Sinister into the fray but I’m not complaining because, well, it’s X-23 and Mr Sinister. The undersea submarine in the Pacific is a unique setting for this series and solid comic so far

This was just plain horrible. The pacing is way too fast and the art is so inconsistent, which is a shame because I know Silva is a really good artist. The last page makes no sense at all and most of this issue bored me. At this point, this comic really has nothing to do with searching for Logan

I was actually pleasantly surprised with the final issue of this limited series. Taylor wrote the Tony and Logan flashbacks really well and Taylor understands Tony. The last page was pretty interesting that the X-Men have a sleeper agent, but the fact where Sarah is actually Laura’s genetic mother was kind of dumb because I thought it was implied she always was. Laura didn’t get enough panel time, especially since she should have been a major part of this event. Missing Bendis’ New Avengers too

Butch Guice’s art is spectacular and he draws Sabretooth perfectly. The story itself makes sense as Yukio, Daken, and Victor all naturally want Logan to be dead again. They go to a ghost town in Arizona, one previously populated but the residents were all exterminated by Logan. The people Logan killed come back to life as zombies though, and attack Daken. Victor, Daken, and Yukio fighting off a horde of zombies seems like a glorious and violent mess, zombies are an extremely generic threat and they seem to have little to do with the search for Logan

Not much too like but I love the art and the way Tamaki writes the Sabretooth and Lady Deathstrike chemistry. Fast issue to read. Not much happens though besides generic action against zombies. Lousy issue

The plot does not advance at all and this series is just so being. Yes, a series about Sabretooth, Lady Deathstrike, and Daken is somehow boring. Sabretooth and Lady Deathstrike dynamic is the only good part of the issue. Sabretooth doesn’t even act like himself and acts scared instead of animal like when the zombie attacks him

Probably one of the most pointless comics I’ve ever read.

Although there are way too many characters in this squad of X-Men, or X-Women I should say, for each one to get a solid amount of character development, but it doesn’t help that their are 6 new villains just thrown right at the reader. Art is acceptable but it doesn’t portray Madripoor as well as it could have. I did like the Psylocke narration though

Not the worst tie in yet for Hunt For Wolverine (Claws of A Killer I’m looking at you), it just seems so pointless. A huge mess of a battle scrunched in panels that are far too small to portray the battle correctly. The mercenaries, besides Viper, all seem so generic. Art is pretty good and I like Kitty’s narration.

I definitely loved the slow pace Soule used to assemble this merry band of sleuths but I hope there is enough time to tell a full story in 3 issues. Great art and I love the tone. I love the team of Daredevil, Misty, Frank, and Cypher

Buffagni’s art is incredible to look at and it fits the tone Soule perfectly. I love the mystery-tone of the book and I hope Cypher isn’t actually dead because he dies way to often. I hope Misty and Frank become a couple and Matt has already implied that Frank might be attracted to Misty

It’s been a while since I’ve seen good old Albert in comics but the revelation that it was Albert who attacked Cypher and not Logan was a great twist. The art continues to be far and wide the best part of this series and Soule understands and writes the characters perfectly. Glad Cypher is alive and interested to see what happens with his internet addiction, although he hasn’t really contributed to the team at all

So a lot happened but Logan is alive and apparently brainwashed and the team finds out thanks to Cypher, who recovers digital proof from an assets company. The art was really really good and Soule wrote these characters perfectly. I wonder if Cypher’s internet addiction plot line will ever be resolved.

I don’t have a problem with art, unlike others. The story itself is pretty good but the pacing was pretty inconsistent and it seems like Taylor was making this up as he went along

Not the worst issue but I just don’t see where Taylor was going with this. It’s great to see Warren again and bringing in Jean to help Laura was a nice touch but Remy is unnecessary. Wish Taylor would write Kimora and Bellona better

Strong conclusion to an admittedly lousy arc. Gabby and Laura are great as usual and it’s good to finally see Kimura die

I found Laura and Gabby taking down a boat full of human traffickers much more interesting than Ironheart trying to stop an alien ship from crashing to Earth. That part was just dragged out way too long. Art brings from 7 to 7.5

It’s refreshing to see Laura fight something she can’t stab but this arc reminds me a little to much of Paul Cornell’s Wolverine for comfort Imao. The art fits the tone of this issue perfectly. As usual, All-New Wolverine has a ton of guest stars but Laura and Gabby always shine through

It was awesome to see Laura, Gabby, Daken, Wade, and Old Man Logan team up but WHERE WAS FANTOMEX? He is a rightful part of the Weapon X family!!! Anyways, pretty solid issue and hopefully it will get this series back on its stride

Now the Guardians of the Galaxy are guest staring in this comic. Although I love the Guardians with all my heart, I wish All-New Wolverine would quit it with the guest stars and let this comic grow to be its own thing. Solid art at least

Found myself bored at times but issue 23 carries enough momentum from previous issues to keep me interested

Definitely one of the more boring issues of the series and I miss the old costume but at least this arc is over

First off, I love the little review wars happening in this issue I just love it know idea why. Anyways, Tom Taylor really gave us a quality issue for the start of Marvel Legacy in All-New Wolverine. The art work is absolutely stunning and the story is the extremely exciting compared to the last couple issues

This new Orphans of X story arc is a real return to form for this series and in my opinion the best since issue 7. Who knew Laura, Daken, Gabby, and Old Man Logan could hold up the Wolverine comics line so well while Logan was dead. My only complaint is that it seems like the Orphans of X are just basically the Red Roght Hand with a new name

Although I don’t agree with Taylor’s portrayal of Daken, he still writes Laura and Gabby perfectly and this issue had a great twist. I really hope that when Logan eventually comes back Laura will still have her own place in the Marvel Universe.

Ok ok I get it, Daken, Old Man Logan, Sabretooth, and Lady Deathstrike are a little underpowered but that’s not the point and the reason for that is because the Orphans of X have Muramusa bullets. Loved seeing Muramusa again and it’s good to see something like the Muramusa Blade become relevant again

I absolutely love that the leader of the Orphans of X is Henry Sutter. It’s totally believable that he would want revenge on Laura after Laura killed his parents. He would be almost an adult now so he’s the right age. Henry is a character from a couple years back in Laura’s past from the original X-23 comic but he’s a simple enough character that new readers can catch on easily. Smart move by Taylor. Great arc

Perfect execution by Tom Taylor and Juan Cabal. This was the best arc of the whole series and All-New Wolverine 30 is the best issue yet. Even the haters liked this issue. Phenomenal

Before this issue, All-New Wolverine 30 was the best issue of the series. Now it’s second. I loved this

All-New Wolverine has been on a hot streak since issue 25 and it just keeps on rolling. Amber, co-leader of the Orphans of X, gets her revenge for her father with Laura’s help on the man who hired Laura to kill her dad. It’s a beautifully drawn issue

Old Man Logan was a violent, bloody, sad, revenge comic so you’d think Old Woman Laura would be something like that. Instead we get the most realistic future for the Marvel Universe ever. This Old Woman Laura timeline perfectly balances tragedy and triumph as the heroes of the world won, besides Dr Doom. I hate Gabby’s haircut but that doesn’t matter too much Imao. Laura is dying and before she goes out, she wants to kill Doom and save her long lost sister, Bellona. Oh, and Gabby’s husband is named Taylor. Like Tom Taylor. I love that😂😂

I love this futuristic story arc and like I said in last issue’s review, it’s the most realistic Marvel Future yet. Beautiful art and Taylor just leaves me breathless with this wonderful comic. RIP Maria Hill. Plus what’s with all the buzzcuts?

Fabulous final 11 issues. I’m gonna miss All-New Wolverine.

Honestly a lot better than I expected. Soule writes the X-Men fantastically and he sets up the tie ins perfectly near the end. Well written set up for the event. I like it even though it is almost guaranteed to not pay off in the end

While I wasn’t as in to this issue as much as others, I love the idea of Laura and Gabby interacting with Old Man Logan

All-New Wolverine 9 seems like more filler but it’s always cool to have Laura and Old Man Logan trying to escape Fin Fang Foom’s belly. Great art, and oh yeah, FITZ WAS IN THIS ISSUE

Not a ton actually happened this issue but the character interactions between these 3 mutants makes up for it

While I’m sure we all know Gabby isn’t dead, All-New Wolverine is proving to be one of the best Civil War II tie ins. It’s intriguing that Ulysses’ vision came true and I love Cap in this series as well

Solid comic. Don’t see why this issue is getting lower than usual reviews

Pace was a little slow but solid art and I’m glad the best character in the series, Jonathan, continues to play a role in the series. Yes, Jonathan is better than Wolverhampton. Fight me

Another pretty good issue but Enemy of the State II is nowhere close to as good as the Mark Miller original. Gabby is great

I like this arc I don’t understand the horrible reviews

Wasn’t really feeling this annual and the body swapped idea has been used wayyy to many times. Great art and great humor though. And Jonathan. He’s just the greatest

Meet the Skrulls 2 is just as fabulous as the last issue. The reason this series is so good is the little things: the perfectly timed flashbacks that tell us who this family is, the flashbacks that make us feel empathy for Carl, the Tony Stark cameos, the Secret Invasion nostalgia, and the beautiful art.

Meet the Skrulls is definitely worth a read. Robbie Thompson engulfs the reader into the world of the Warners so perfectly and the art matches the undercover alien spy tone.

It’s amazing how the Warner family of Skrulls still has human problems, and I give all the credit to Robbie Thompson. Even though they’re undercover aliens, Madison and Alice worry about if there parents will get divorced or not. This is one of the most well written comics and years and I love these underrated little limited series

Sounds like at least Alice will be back judging by the goodbye page

Incredible Hulk: Last Call met and surpassed my high expectations with beautiful art and a great, emotional story. I haven’t read Peter David’s Incredible Hulk run because of its sheer length, but this one-shot might have convinced me to read it one day. Loved the art as well

I loved that art work and the story is great and had me entertained and intrigued start to finish. Alice, Carl, Gloria, and Madison all seem like interesting and deep characters. The plot is well thought through by Thompson and it really made me appreciate the Skrulls all the more. Marvel needs more comics like this
8.5
 Savage Avengers (2019) #2 Jun 6, 2019

There was some very good and very bad parts about this issue. First off, Gail Simone nailed the dialogue for Tony Stark. He felt exactly like he should be and I love the Demon In A Bottle references. Simone writes Tony perfectly. Other than that, the art was pretty bad unless the dragon was being drawn. He was cool. Anyways, this issue had minimal action and a lot of worthless technobabble between Tony and Rhodey

Another 10 out of 10 performance for Jason Aaron's War of the Realms. This event truly feels like a war instead of a prolonged battle, and Russell Dauterman's art in this series is some of the best art in a comic ever. Everything is coming together for the upcoming grand finale and I could not be more excited. Everything about this issue is perfect.

Though still readable, Journey Into Mystery 4 is the worst issue of the series yet. Kate, Thori, and Death Locket are drawn horribly, among others. This issue had some weird and inconsistent pacing. For example, the conflict with the wild west ghosts is rushed to completion as the ghost cowboys have been only fighting the team because they were worshiping Laussa, who is half demon. The revelation that Laussa is part demon because Odin and Freya conceived her in Surtur's dimension seemed unnecessary and confusing. Also, this issue had a lot less humor. I did enjoy Ares in the second half of the issue though and I love the McElroys' respect for continuity.

The team is far to large to really feel anything for any of the characters and no one gets a chance to shine besides Amadeus. There was a great amount of action and beautiful art to go along with it though. The Asian culture is represented very well and even though I have no clue what "spam" is I really enjoyed the part where the all eat together.

I can’t get over how good David Lopez’s art is. This issue read fluidly and the pacing was spot on. I love the Doctor Strange guest appearance and Taylor writes Laura perfectly

Very good series and even though Alchemax, Captain Mooney, and Dr Chandler are pretty bland villains, Laura and her three clones plus a guest star (Wasp) carry this issue enough for it to be a great comic. I’m really loving Laura as Wolverine and Taylor is the best writer to write Laura since Craig Kyle

A great finale to the first arc of this series. Laura, Gabby, and Bellona finally get proactive in their fight against Alchemax. They win of course and it looks like Gabby will be staying with Laura for a while, so yay! That last page though: Kimura is back!

What a great issue. Squirrel Girl is hilarious and this was a tremendous filler issue. The Logan flashbacks were very powerful and I love the Laura Gabby friendship. Strange that Warren has disappeared from the series though?

What a great first issue for this series. All-New Wolverine 1 was entertaining start to finish and the art was beautiful and unique. I love Angel co-staring, although I’m not a fan of Angel and Laura’s relationship. Anyways, All-New Wolverine sets the stage perfectly for the rest of the series as clones of Laura (who’s a clone herself) are running around the globe

Not as good as last issue but issue 2 moved the plot along nicely and introduced us to Bellanova, Gabby, and Zelda, 3 clones of Laura created by Alchemax. Can’t wait for Taskmaster next issue?

First off a want to say how good Lopez’s art is. Although the Taskmaster vs Laura fight was kinda disappointing, Laura’s interactions between Gabby, Bellanova, and Zelda give her more depth as a character. I love how Laura seems to have learned from Logan’s mistakes, as she promises to not kill during this Alchemax conflict. I’m intrigued to see if Laura’s clones or Alchemax will be the main antagonist of this arc

A true return to form for Uncanny X-Force and Phil Noto’s art is the this series’ best art since Esad Ribic. The characters are written so well and I’m so happy this series is great again after a rough story arc in the Otherworld

X-Force is falling apart as Psylocke and Fantomex quit. Deadpool stumbles upon a trio of brainwashed assassins who believe Logan, Deadpool, and AoA Nightcrawler Killer their family when they were kids. McKone’s art is very good and this issue improves upon last issue and behind the final story arc for the series

The pieces are starting to fall into place as the remainder 3 X-Force members are taken down quite easily by the Omegas while Psylocke fights the Shadow King and Mystique attacks Fantomex. Psylocke continues to fascinate me and she’s easily the most broken character in the series

Fantastic issue. Fantomex sacrifices his life to save Psylocke, which really hit me hard because he was my favorite character. The good news is, Fantomex’s ship Eva takes a humanoid form and joins the team. Also, Daken is the leader of the Brotherhood of Mutants. Yup, this series is awesome

This arc is fantastic and it’s amazing to see X-Force’s actions effect the future

Uncanny X-Force is on an unbelievable hot streak since issue 24. Everything is coming into place for a great finale and I love how Sabretooth, Daken, and Wolverine are all together in one comic

This issue was BRUTAL. Remender writes Daken and Sabretooth as perfect villains and Evan is by far the most intriguing character in the comic. Remender’s exploration of many themes makes Uncanny X-Force one of the greatest comics ever

Issue 31 was just so satisfying and exciting and there’s just not much to say. Perfect art by Phil Noto.

One of the best comics ever. This issue was just so crazy I loved it

The way Remender writes his characters is just, well, uncanny. The conversation between Logan and Daken was written perfectly

I have no words. Absolutely heartbreaking

A perfect and emotional final issue. My only questions are: How is Fantomex’s mom alive? Where are Mystique and AoA Nightcrawler?

A much needed laid back issue after the Dark Angel Saga. Pretty much an aftermath issue, in fact. A great issue that lets you stop and breath before we journey to Otherworld for the next arc. Only thing wrong with this issue is how horrible the art is.

The art is absolutely awful and at times the story is confusing and boring but the main characters are still extremely interesting and there is enough momentum off the Dark Angel Saga fro this to be a somewhat good but definitely not great issue

Uncanny X-Force 21 has some very very very very bad art. Like, it’s badddd. The story itself isn’t the best either and the only thing that keeps me reading is the characters. I hope Tocchini leaves ASAP

The art is awful and confusing and the story is awful and confusing. I don’t care about anything that happens in this issue and I couldn’t be more excited for this arc to end and a new artist to replace this one

I can’t help but think that this arc could’ve been so much better. If the art was anywhere close to mediocre and not this monstrosity and if Remender took the time to make the reader care about the non-X-Force characters then maybe I would’ve felt the slightest bit sad by Jamie’s death. Instead, nothing. Nothing at all

I think I like Ribic’s art even better than Opena’s. Anyway, I love this Fantomex centered issue and Fantomex fighting the Deathlok Avengers is just as awesome as it sounds. When one of the deathloks kills Fantomex’s blind mom was a real heartbreaking moment

Amazing issue. I mean, this issue was spectacular, uncanny even. Somehow, Remender managed to fit that whole story in one issue, which is incredible. I loved how Uncanny X-Force 5.1 was a character study of Psylocke of sorts and there was tons of great action and even cameos by Magneto and Scott. This self contained Point One issue seems like a whole story arc all in itself

Yet another tremendous installment of Uncanny X-Force. The team dynamic is great and I love the way this comic perfectly mixes humor and seriousness. Great fights between Fantomex and Deathlok and the evil future Deathloks. The plot is written perfectly and I can’t wait for next issue

Fabulous conclusion to Uncanny X-Force’s second arc. I love how Apocalypse is still looming (judging by that last page), and I lapse love the way Remender plays the long game with this series. The team dynamic is unique and one of the best parts of the series. Really going to miss Esad Ribic in future issues as well

Every single issue of Uncanny X-Force is an amazing read. Although Billy Tan’s art in this book is nothing special, Uncanny X-Force 8 has great pacing and moves the larger overall story forward nicely

Don’t know how I feel about this issue. I did like Billy Tan’s art, but on the other hand, I had more questions than answers by the end of the issue. How did Dr Nemesis discover X-Force? What was so significant about the Nazi Erik wanted dead? Why couldn’t Erik kill the nazi himself? Which comic was Dr Nemesis’ mission in? I will say though, that the second half of this issue was perfectly written by Remender and the scene where Logan kills the nazi was really emotional.

Wow what a good issue. Remender understands this team and these characters so well but he also is a great writer for long stories. I can’t wait for Dark Beast and X-Force to go to the Age of Apocalypse universe next issue!

While I’ve never read any comics that take place in the Age of Apocalypse universe, I still really enjoyed this issue. Although the art wasn’t my favorite, telling this comic through Logan’s point of view was fantastic.

Although this issue feels very crowded with the X-Force temporarily joining the Amazing X-Men, this issue again proves that Rick Remender is the master at character development. I loved the Fantomex scene and my favorite line was “You don’t love Warren, you love feeling needed” which was said by Fantomex to Betsy. This issue also moved the plot along nicely but I didn’t care for the art

I didn’t care for any of the Age of Apocalypse characters, except Kirika, so some of the scenes that were supposed to be emotional just weren’t that well written for me. Bad art as well

The team is back in their dimension as Archangel has assembled his own mini army of servants, including Ozymandias, Genocide, Pestilence, Jafar, and that drummer guy. The best parts of this series continue to be the relationships between the 5 core characters, especially Psylocke and Fantomex

The Dark Angel Saga is an even better read now that X-Force is back in their universe, and I could read about Fantomex and Deadpool teaming up until Mr Immortal dies.

Another fantastic issue as the Amazing X-Men winter the fray. They make for great allies or obstacles for our heroes and the scene where Fantomex is, um, inside Blob while Deadpool tried to save them had me dying of laughter. The Dark Angel saga is changing the X-Men forever and this arc is the best of the series yet

Uncanny X-Force has really the perfect comic at this point. Beautiful art. Great pacing. Tremendous team dynamic and character writing and development from Remender. Great villains like Archangel, Apocalypse, Blob, and Genocide among others. I could go on and on

Holy shit that was amazing. All in all the Dark Angel Saga May be almost as good as the Dark Phoenix Saga, and this series is the best X-Men comic since Whedon’s Astonishing X-Men

I really liked this issue and it had some great action between X-Force and Apocalypse’s Final Horsemen. My biggest complaint, and this really really bothered me, is that the 5 X-Force members look EXACTLY the same in their space suits. Like I had absolutely no clues which character was which for about 90% of this issue. Uncanny X-Force 2 wouldve gotten a much better rating if I could tell who was who

Great action written by Remender this issue and I enjoyed getting the origins of Apocalypse’s Final Horsemen. The best part about this series is the team dynamic and it’s fantastic

WOW. Easily the best issue of the series so far. The team dynamic is amazing and Remender writes each character with their own individual journey. My favorite part of the issue is when Archangel wanted to kill the Apocalypse child but Psylocke wanted to train him, and they fought over it. While they were fighting, Logan approached the child and popped his claws, much to Archangel’s delight. Logan decides not to kill the child, but just as everything cools down, Fantomex shoots and kills the child. Incredible!

While Giant Man 2 has many problems, I did love the art and I got a couple great laughs out of the The Frost Giant Party scene. Unfortunately, this comic doesn’t know whether it’s a revenge comic for Loki or if its a rescue mission for Scott’s daughter. Also it is extremely hard to tell who is who because all 4 of them look the same in their frost giant disguises

This series does a good job of portraying Peter’s personality and convincing some people violence isn’t always the answer. Unfortunately, Spider Man and the League of Realms isn’t the funny, insane romp through a Norse monster infested planet like I thought it would be

First off, beautiful art by Ariel Olivetti. Secondly, wow what an issue. Although this series is called Thanos, I would argue that Gamora is just as much the main character as Thanos is. This series never tries to do too much, which is great. Tremendous series, the comic I didn’t know I wanted until I got it

Unlike the last series, Remender’s X-Force keeps the roster small but sweet. I like each and every character and I’m happy Rick didn’t try to go overboard with the Deadpool humor. Rick is talented with long term storytelling and I can’t wait to see what is in store for this comic now that Apocalypse was resurrected. The Archangel character definitely intrigues me and Opena’s art was perfect for this issues tone

Cul was by far the worst character of Fraction’s Thor run and Fear Itself event, possibly even the worst villain of the Heroic Age era. This, however, did not stop Jason Aaron from integrating Cul into his Thor run. He wrote Cul tremendously in Mighty Thor as he looked for redemption. In Thor 13, he finally gets it as Cul sacrifices his life for a group of Dark Elf slaves in a glorious fashion. Second half of the issue especially great

Daredevil’s story was great again and I wish Aaron would right Daredevil more often. Nice trick by Wilson Fisk by the way. Devin Grayson’s Doctor Strange story was poorly drawn, sometimes boring, and offered nothing different or new. I loved Wiccan and Hulkling’s story because we don’t get to catch up with them enough and I loved the way that story treated Loki

A great continuation of the last Limited Series. I’m starting to love the X-23 character and the Kyle/Yost duo never fails to write good comics

Craig Kyle and Chris Yost write Laura perfectly and I love the addition of Cap and Daredevil to the mix. My one complaint is how slutty the artists depict Laura. In the first series she was usually seen wearing extremely skimpy outfits or short gowns with nothing underneath. Now that Laura is 15 things are taken to a whole new level, hence the cover. Even Laura’s ain’t found her fit somewhat odd

Easily the best issue of the series yet. X-23: Target X 3 is masterly written and I loved the way Kingpin was depicted. He was clever and violent and by far the highlight of the issue is when he tells DiLorenzo that the 4th briefcase contains most of the body of the his mole in Kingpin’s organization. Laura was depicted in slutty ways again but less than last issue and I love how Matt and Steve are involved

Issue 4 seemed more like a filler issue and really this series could’ve been compressed into 5 issues instead of 6. Consistent art and great character art by the duo

Kyle and Yost write the gruesome violence so well that it is readable and not seem as disgusting, which is impressive. The goodbye between Laura and Megan was a very well written emotional scene. The art was better last series, though.

This finale had its strong moments and weak moments. The strong moments happened between Steve and Matt as they argued what to do with Laura. I genuinely didn’t know if I was on Matt’s side or Steve’s side and that half of the issue was written very well. The weak moment of this issue is when Laura confronts, fights, and meets Logan. This scene was very rushed and in reality should have taken about 2 issues. I hate how Logan already knew who Laura was and had accepted it. It felt so rushed and ruined the issue for me. Can’t wait for more X-23 in the future!

Definitely not what I was expecting but in the end I enjoyed this issue. The art is 10/10 as Adam Kubert draws British Columbia perfectly

The art is still good but Gillen’s dialogue is a bit confusing and I had trouble following the story. The first Origin series was controversial but never boring, this series seems to be less controversial but definitely boring.

Origin II 3 improves on last issue and although I still think the idea of this series as a whole is terrible, I did enjoy this issue and Adam Kubert’s art is arguably better than Andy Kubert’s art on the original series

Tremendous issue by Gillen and Kubert the art is perfect and Gillen’s story makes this the best issue yet. Love it!

Perfect art. Perfect story. After reading the first Origin series I was mad Dog wasn’t Victor but I love Victor’s origin even more. I love the animal comparisons Logan makes at the end and just overall tremendous last 2 issues. Easily better than the original series

The guest appearances are the only reason this issue is mildly entertaining

Those last couple pages make up for an otherwise dull issue

The plot itself has improved greatly but slow pacing holds this series back

While a comic staring Logan and Daken is bound to be bloody and violent, Steve Dillon’s art is unnecessary and realistic. The way Logan’s injuries are portrayed with the amount of blood would never happen in real life.

Bad art, slow pacing. Never liked Daniel Way but wow this is bad

Still a lot of work needs to be done to fix this series

The Wolverine Silver Samurai fight scene was way too long

The pace was a lot better but Way writes some weird narrating for Logan

Slowly but surely this arc is improving

That last page though

A genuinely interesting and heartbreaking issue by Daniel Way

This series has so much potential but Way and Dillon’s poor execution makes this another mediocre issue.

Remarkably slow pace

 Wolverine Origins #7 May 26, 2019

Literally nothing happens in this series when it should be the exact opposite

The only reason to keep reading is for Daken

The last couple issues make up for a horrible first 2/3 of the issue

The story is often confusing and boring and while the art is good at times it’s falls short in others and Winger Soldier 16 did have its moments but it’s just not that good of a comic.

It’s just so hard to care about what’s going on because everything is so poorly executed in this issue.

I would not recommend this story arc. Read up to 14 and stop. I don’t care about Electroc Ghost. Joe Robards, though, he intrigued me but sadly Latour thought it best that he take a backseat for the last couple issues

Badly drawn. Confusing. Boring. I didn’t care about most of the characters.

This issue was a pleasant surprise as I love how Daniel Way has crafted this mystery. Most of the Daniel Way comics I’ve read have sucked, like his Incredible Hulk and Ghost Rider, but I was entertained by this issue and enjoyed the art

Good issue with a good amount of action as the mystery begins to unravel
7.5
 Wolverine Origins #3 May 25, 2019

There was some absolutely incredible action in team chemistry in this issue and by far the best Strikforce one shot yet. My main problem is that I felt nothing for Buttercup the talking flying horse. Nothing.

The art by Lim is beautiful and my biggest complaint for this issue is that the newer characters like White Fox, Luna Snow, Aero, Sword master, and Crescent don’t get enough panel time because there are about a dozen characters to shuffle around.

War of the Realms: Punisher is the most grounded War of the Realms tie in one the stands. Instead of Realm-hopping team adventures, this comic is about Frank Castle and a group of prisoners fighting monsters in the Lincoln tunnel to save hospital patients. It’s, at times, gruesomely brutal, as Frank executes some of the prisoners alongside the Norse monsters and many of the Norse monsters can be seen eating the prisoners

The art is ok but near the end of this issue it started to grow on me. Winter Soldier 15 got me just interested enough to come back for next issue, mostly because I want to see how this Natasha situation plays out

The art is eh and this issue is anything but necessary to the War of the Realms event it ties into but Annabelle could become a truly fascinating character now that Valkyrie is dead and she is free. It’s definitely time for this series to end though after the tie-ins. More of a Fearless Defenders sequel than anything else

Avengers 19 may be the best issue of War of the Realms yet. This issue is centered around Gorilla Man and Aaron excels at writing him while Ed excels at drawing him. Aaron perfectly sets up the series after War of the Realms while still writing an important installment to the event itself. Flawless issue. I can’t wait to see what Aaron has in store for the Winter Guard as Ursa Major is revealed as a double agent for Wakanda, as Gorilla Man is also revealed to be a double agent for Dracula. Perfect issue

What an issue. War of the Realms: Journey Into Mystery 3 is a great mix of action and character development. The team chemistry between Simon and Becca is great fun, especially for lovers of Wild West movies. I also like the mentor/student relationship between Balder and Kate and Thori is constantly hilarious. The first half of the issue had little action but lots of character moments and humor while the second half packed in the fights. This whole issue is beautifully drawn and I can’t wait for next issue where we hopefully figure out why Laussa is a demon

While Winter Soldier 9 isn't as good as some of the previous issues, Lark's art is a delight and the overall story moves along nicely. Like I've said before, this is as much Natasha's comic as it is Bucky's.

Butch Guice is back for Brubaker's last arc as Winter Soldier 10 is a surprisingly brutal issue. A brain washed Natasha attacks a SHIELD squad by pretending to not be brainwashed, and she kills Jasper in the process. It's a little predictable that Natasha will later feel guilty about this later but that's just comics for you. Leo Novokov is a great villain so far

Another great installment in Brubaker's grand Cap/Bucky story but I don't see why Clint, Logan, and even Steve need to be involved. It seems like Brubaker assembled all of Natasha's ex's to save her. The action and espionage isn't as greatly executed as it was earlier in the series but it is still better than 90% of Marvel comics.

Like I said in last issue's review: Natasha's ex's are assembling to save her as Matt Murdock joins the series. Still a tremendous comic but it just tries to do too many things at once

I'm definitely ready for a change of writers as Brubaker has been writing Bucky since 2005 but still a great series and hopefully it will continue to be that under Jason Latour

A fitting final farewell to writer Ed Brubaker. Bucky kills Leo Novokov and Maria removes most of Natasha's brainwashing, although she will never remember Bucky as her Leo and Rodchenko made sure Bucky was permanently deleted from her mind.

Winter Soldier 1 is a fantastic first issue. Guice’s art fits this series’ tone perfectly. Seriously, it’s a match made in Heaven. Brubaker writes this espionage romp excellently and this was an exciting comic start to finish. The espionage was written so well I can’t say it enough and I can’t wait for next issue

Another home run issue by Brubaker and Guice. The story flows so naturally and the plot is also clever and fits the comic. The art fits the gritty tone and the characterization for Bucky and Natasha is great

This series continues to amaze me and it’s 10 times better than the main Captain America series Brubaker is putting out now. Butch Guice may be the best artist for gritty comics and Winter Soldier is definitely a gritty comic mixed with espionage and spy themes. I absolutely love it. The Civil War movie was partly inspired by this comic as well

While I’m not a fan of the way Doctor Doom is written (mostly his dialogue, Brubaker did a good job of not over and under powering him), I find Ivan and Lucia great villains even with my limited knowledge about them. I love the idea of the 3 other winter soldiers running lose and that plot line was in the Captain America Civil War movie as well. Bucky is best as the Winter Soldier and this is Natasha’s comic just as much as it is Bucky’s

Some spectacular action and espionage in this issue as Doom, Natasha, and Bucky confront and fight Ivan, Lucia, Dmitri, and gorillas with machine guns. Yes gorillas with machine guns. In the end, Dmitri dies, Lucia is captured, and Ivan escapes. Doom promises to keep Bucky’s secret as long as SHIELD keeps Doom’s missile silo a secret. As it turns out, though, only 2 of the 3 Winter Soldiers were activated. I found this issue extremely enjoyable and Brubaker and Guice outdid themselves

Tremendous backstory issue for Leo and Lark’s art keeps up this series’ quality art. Probably the best issue of the series yet

Larks artwork is on a par with Guice’s as Leo proves to be a brutal and complex villain. Bucky is written best as the Winter Soldier and this series proves that

Great action and art yet again. Not much to say that I haven’t said in previous issues

Confused on how or why Ameridriod showed up but it was a cool action scene. Usually I hate it when Cap faces “an old enemy from the past” because, when you think about it, 90% of Captain America stories are just that. Brubaker makes this work, though

Captain America 4 took a bit of a dip in quality but Bravo is a great villain with a unique origin and I’m so glad Steve is Cap again. Sharon finally gets a lot of panel time in this series as she hasn’t had that since about issue 28 of the previous volume of Captain America

While not the way I would’ve ended this arc, Bravo was a really great villain and this arc had great arc and Steve back as Cap again, so I see that as an absolute win. I’m still a little confused on where the Queen of Hydra came from but I’m interested to see what Brubaker has in store next for this series

This series’ hot streak continues with Captain America 6 as Hydra is on the rise thanks to the leadership of the Queen of Hydra, whose spent the last couple decades in the Land of Nowhere. Although I preferred Steve McNiven’s work to Alan Davis’, this was still a great beginning to the next arc

While this series is getting repetitive, it’s good to see Sam back in the mix and the idea of Steve losing his Super Soldier serum is very intriguing

Those last couple pages were amazingly well written. Sharon realizes the only way to help Steve is too plug in Machinesmith, so she activates the jet’s self destruct sequence and locks the jet down so if things go wrong, Machinesmith can’t escape. Unfortunately, it definitely looks like things are going to go wrong. Before you read this issue, make sure you have read Steve Rogers: Super Soldier 1-4.

Solid issue with by far the highlight being Machinesmith trying to fight Sharon and Sharon revealing she has the upper hand, mentioning the self destruct sequence of the jet and the lock down on EMP that will go off of Machinesmith attempts to escape. Davis’ art is growing on me

There was nothing inherently interesting about the way Steve cured his condition but the second half of this issue is a joy to read as Steve fights Sam after Sam got caught in the madbomb, just in time as Tony unleashed the cure. The longer Bravo and Queen of Hydra stick around, the more I start to dislike them

It almost seems as if Brubaker is running out of ideas to write for Cap, and who can blame him: the dude has written about 100 issues of Captain America so far. This arc is about a new Scourge hunting down and killing members of witness protection. It’s not as boring as it sounds thanks to the efforts of Brubaker and Zircher’s art is decent and fits the arc

Captain America throws names at you that haven’t been in a Cap comic since the 90s like wild fire, as Viper, Diamondback, Henry Gyrich, Scourge, and Dum Dum Duganall return for this arc. I often found myself very bored and I just don’t care about most of these characters

The new Scourge is D-Man? Is that a joke? It’s not, but it should be, because until now D-Man was only used for mostly comic relief. It seems like Brubaker is really running out of ideas, but at least this is the second last arc of his run

I found myself bored during this arc and I don’t care about most of the characters. These last 2 issues have just been, well, boring

This was a really really weird issue that does not feel like part of Brubaker’s arc at all. The Discordians are just thrown at you and the reader has no idea who they are. The Howling Commandos come out of nowhere with hundreds in numbers and there rally felt extremely out of place. The Anti-Cap media campaign has been done many times before and this time it’s nothing exceptional. Brubaker is making it clear Bravo and Hydra are behind all this yet they don’t appear in this issue. Eaton’s art doesn’t fit the series at all

Brubaker has definitely overstayed his welcome as this series gets worse and worse by the issue. Everything that was wrong about last issue is bad in Captain America 16 as well. Comics at its worst

This issue isn’t nearly as good as it looks as Sharon and Zemo’s fights lasts about 3 pages and is very poorly executed. Zemo is written horribly by Brubaker considering how great of a character he is. A real shame Brubaker’s last arc on Captain America is this monstrosity

Captain America 18 is obviously rushed as Steve kills Bravo and puts the Queen of Hydra in a coma in 2 pages. Easily the worst arc of Brubaker’s run. Definitely skippable

The last 8 or so issues were horrible so it’s good to see Brubaker go out on this amazing and emotional yet simple issue

The art is mediocre and the Bucky story is a bit boring, but the Steve and Natasha stories I found enjoyable. Kind of an unnecessary story arc so far though

More of the same from last issue as Bucky fights around in the gulag, Steve contemplates whether or not to pick up the shield again, and Sharon and Natasha attempt to rescue Bucky.

Captain America 619 sets up Brubaker’s Winter Soldier series and his Captain America series perfectly in this issue, although it doesn’t serve as the best ending for the series as a whole. My main complaint with the art is that everyone in the gulag looks exactly the same. Nico Constantin, Bucky, and Yuri all looked the same.

Captain America 1 got better and better as it went one and it’s a great change of tone from Brubaker’s first volume of Cap. McNiven’s art is a delight too! Excited for this series

Brubaker’s Captain America run rages on with Captain America 2. I’m genuinely interested with this story and what happened with Bravo. McNiven’s art is tremendous

Steve Rogers: Super Soldier 1 is easily the best Captain America comic I’ve read since Captain America Reborn 6. Eaglesham’s artwork is unbelievably refreshing after over half a decade of grim art from Epting, Ross, Perkins, Lark, and Guice. This story is near perfect as Steve becomes Cap again and Brubaker crafted an intriguing mystery. Fantastic issue

The best part about this comic continues to be Eaglesham’s art and the mystery Brubaker has formed. The optimistic vibe this comic gives off paired is a breath of fresh air after half a decade of grim Cap stories, yet this comic still has Brubaker’s excellent writing, just in a lighter tone

Another amazing issue as Steve Rogers: Super Soldier is a home tin of an issue. The art is perfect and it just feels so good and right to have Steve as Captain America again. The mystery was written well as Steve finds out Machinesmith has taken control of Nextin Pharmaceuticals and Cynthia Glass is just a robot built by Machinesmith. Excellent and quality comic

Tremendous conclusion to this miniseries as, in my opinion, Steve Rogers: Super Soldier was the best Cap comic since Reborn. My main complaint is this issue’s art wasn’t as good and the ending was horrible because it leads into Brubaker’s Secret Avengers, which absolutely sucked. Pretend that last page never happened because it makes this issue a lot better

Perfect art by Guice. Brubaker’s work on the villains is spectacular and the character development for Dr Faustus is especially exceptional. Bucky’s trial was entertaining as was the action scenes

While the second half Captain America 615 didn’t exactly stick the landing for this arc, Butch Guice gives us his best art yet and the first half of this issue is a delight of fight scenes

Not the worst issue not the best. Just eh but good to see Steve looking like he’s going to be Cap again

Most of the stories are very skippable but part 1 of the Gulag story arc seems promising

Acuna’s art stood out in Captain America 611 and the Trial of Captain America seems like it’s going to be Brubaker’s last major arc before the relaunch

Guice’s artwork fits this grim issue perfectly and Captain America 612 is easily the most beautiful issue Guice has worked on in the entire run. Everything seems to be concluding in a big way and a true return to form by the series.

The twist with Sin was fantastically executed by Brubaker and Guice. The art is perfect and this is truly the best storyline since Red Skull was still alive. Faustus is back as an ally this time, and although Master Man is a pretty shallow villain, Sin is an endlessly threatening antagonist and it amazes me how Bucky Steve and their allies still feel the affects of Red Skull’s grand plan long after his death.

A pretty solid story that attempts to clean up a loose end from previous storylines with a light and uncomplicated yet still interesting story. I like these short, uncomplicated, 3-5 issue story arcs sometimes compared to the 30 issue grand epics like the one Brubaker just wrote. Art is decent with Luke Ross and Butch Guice teaming up

Definitely an issue that sets up bigger things for the next to issue but Ross’ art is perfect for the Idaho setting and Brubaker writes Bad Cap pretty well considering his extremely confusing origins.

I enjoy Sam’s larger role in this series now that Steve is back and another decent issue in the Two Americas arc. Hopefully further down the line we get more Sharon because she was a huge player until the dramatic issue 25

Captain America 605 was a satisfying conclusion to the Two Americas arc and the best issue since the big 600. Bucky’s character development is amazing and Ross’ art is perfect for the Idaho location. Bad Cap was written to perfection by Brubaker, especially considering the characters’ extremely confusing backstory and origin.

The Red Skull is gone. Admin Zola is gone. Dr Faustus is gone. Aleksander Lukin is gone. Sin is gone. Crossbones is gone. Bad Cap is gone. Bucky needs new villains, and somehow Zemo is here to be that villain along with Iron Hand Hauptmann, Fixer, and a girl Beetle. I say somehow because last we saw of Zemo he had turned good and then died but, you know, comics. Guice draws Zemo amazing but other than that the art is pretty lackluster. This issue is definitely a set up issue but it was pretty good.

The reason this issue got a lower than usual grade was because the art was ehh and the first half of the issue was a way too long action glob between Bucky Steve Sam vs the new female Beetle.

A slower pace than it should be doesn’t slow this issue down much in being another great installment in the grand Brubaker Cap tale

Captain America 609 is a much better issue that fastens the pace and sets up a great conclusion. Zemo is a great villain and even though I have no clue how he is alive, hes been Bucky’s greatest foe since the Skull himself. Oh, and don’t read the Nomad backup, you have better things to don in your live (hopefully).

The best part about this issue is that, to me at least, Zemo was right. That’s how you know you have a great villain when you not only recognize his motives but agree with them

Giant Man 1 has surprisingly been on of my favorite tie-ins to War of the Realms yet. I love Scott and while I’m not overly familiar with the other characters I found this issue beautifully drawn, funny, and a worthwhile read. This series is unlike most tie ins to this event as it has a purpose that isn’t ‘defend the Realm’. Frejya wants revenged for Loki, and Scott, Raz, Tom, and Erik are gonna do it for her

While not the worst issue, Spider Man and the League of Realms was poorly paced and doesn’t add much to the overall story. There is comedy in all the wrong places, yet the art is very good and Ryan writes Spidey terrifically. Not sure what Ryan and Leon have in store for next issue but they’ve showed me enough to get me on board

In my opinion, War of the Realms 4 has been the best issue of the entire event besides issue 1. Dauterman’s art is absolutely perfect. The scenes with Odin and Freyja fighting until the end are tremendous and tragic, as they accomplish their mission with the loss of their lives. Most of this issue revolves around the Avengers recruiting Malekith’s enemies from across the other 9 Realms. War of the Realms is a bundle of eye candy with excellent and emotional action, and I love it. Malekith using Venom as his necrosword makes him all the more powerful and it looks like Thor is the only one who can stop him. Good thing he is back, then. War of the Realms has shaped up to be a worthy conclusion to Aaron’s Thor run

A much better issue then the previous Strikeforce one shot as the art is great and the team is intriguing. My biggest complaint is that Deadpool is featured way too much and some of his panel time could’ve gone to guys like Sif, Weapon H, Venom, and Black Widow.

Brubaker’s grand epic continues here with the return of Steve Rogers. He doesn’t come back in this issue as Vision, Hank, Bucky, and Sam begin the search for Steve after Sharon figures out he is alive. The art is awesome by Bryan Hitch and Brubaker again writes the villains perfectly

Captain America Reborn 2 ties in to Dark Reign while successfully continuing the Captain America epic that is going on. This issue blew me away with its amazing art by Hitch and the story itself is perfect as it pays off on every Captain America issue since Captain America 25

The best issue yet of the series as Steve gets closer to his big Rebirth. Brubaker writes Red Skull fantastically as he’s become one of my favorite villains just based off this run of Captain America. Read Captain America Reborn. You won’t regret it

This issue blew my mind. It was beautifully drawn and it’s a huge payoff on everything before it as well as being emotionally driven and action packed.

Steve is back, sort of. Red Skull is in Steve’s body, but Steve is still there in Skull’s mind, somewhere. And the end of this perfect issue Steve returns, and it’s Hank, Sam, Natasha, Sharon, Vision, Clint, Steve, and Bucky vs a giant Red Skull, Crossbones, Sin, and Crossbones. God, I love this series

A perfect finale to everything Brubaker has written about Cap before. Steve is back, Red Skull is dead and Crossbones and Sun have been captured. I loved this issue and this series and I can’t wait for Captain America 602

Captain America 49 focuses on Sharon and, to a lesser extent, Sam as Bucky doesn’t even appear. This issue sets up some big things for the 2 upcoming anniversary issues. While there is no action, Captain America 49 works as a dive into Sharon’s damaged world after SHIELD collapsed and she killed Steve.

It looks like Brubaker is saving most of the twists and turns for issue 600 because, while this issue was good on its own, Captain America 50 was a wee bit light and it seemed unimportant for an anniversary comic

Captain America 600 could easily be my favorite issue of the series yet. It’s perfect. It’ll take you a while to read but the Brubaker section is well worth it. The story written by Roger Stern isn’t too bad but you would have to have read his Cap run from a while ago.

Definitely not what I expected. Worst issue yet but compared to most series, still a great issuers

This issue feels much more detached from the actual War of the Realms event, as this ragtag group of babysitters deals with stowaway Skrulls instead of any of Malekith's forces. The team itself is great and the McElroys write great humor for their first mainstream comic, though they still need some practice. A fun little tie in to a huge event

The large scale of the War of the Realms events gives opportunity for a lot of tie-ins, and so far, New Agents of Atlas has been one of the best. While there are way too many characters to keep track off, the team seems like it is going to come together fluidly and naturally and not forced. Since most of the characters in this comic are obscure, Greg Pak can take a lot more risks, and I'm excited to see what they are.

One of the best and most satisfying issues of the series. Brubaker’s long game payed off and it was glorious seeing Red Skull’s plan reveal itself bit by bit over time. Sharon escaped Dr Faustus with help from Faustus himself and it is revealed that Sharon did in fact have a miscarriage. The Skull is defeated for now and all around amazing issue

Now that Red Skull is out of the picture (for now) and Bucky is off to new threats. With Red Skull’s exit from the series, Captain America becomes a lot less complicated, and it feels like a breath of fresh air on a hot summer day. Brubaker’s run continues its greatness with this not needed but greatly appreciated fresh started. Luke Ross shakes things up with the art and it gives the book a refreshing lighter tone

I love the new direction this comic is taking as it is allowing Bucky to move out of Steve’s shadow and become his own character. The art is great and this arc has a refreshingly uncomplicated feel to it.

I love this new arc and fresh start for the series and I love how Brubaker has made Natasha a main character again. My main complaint for this arc, and almost all Cap stories is that I wish more arcs didn’t rely on the past for stories in the present. Almost all of Brubaker’s arcs in this series involves flashback scenes and way too many Cap books rely on untold adventures from WW2.

This fresh start for Bucky has turned into a sort of generic ‘Invaders reunite’ Cap story. That doesn’t necessarily mean this story is bad- it’s pretty good. It’s just the one arc in this series so far that feels like a generic story. The art is great and the character work for Bucky and Natasha is awesome

I definitely like Ross’ art over Guice’s but the boat scene with Natasha was drawn pretty coolly. This wasn’t the greatest arc ever but it wasn’t bad and felt uncomplicated following the grand epic that preceded it.

Not the worst issue ever and a satisfying conclusion, but Guice’s art and the fact that I was a little bored while reading contribute to a lower than usual rating

The London storyline comes to a close as Civil War begins next issue. Captain America 21 is pretty straightforward, as Steve and Bucky fight Red Skull’s murder bot in London while Joey and Jackie fight the Master Race. Its a beautifully drawn conclusion to arguably the best arc yet

While the Civil War series itself is awful, the tie-ins are mostly great. This issue was one of the better Civil War tie-ins yet one of the worst Captain America issues. Civil War is interesting but the story Brubaker was telling before Civil War was much more interesting

An intriguing tie-in to Civil War that focuses on Bucky Barnes. Although these tie-ins are not as good as the regular Captain America issues, Captain America 23 takes advantage of Civil War and gives us an issue that lets us inside Bucky’s head. He’s no Steve Epting but I do love Mike Perkins’ art as well

Ed Brubaker handles his villains with such care and and thought and he knows exactly the story he wants to tell with them. Main reason while this series has some of the best villain work ever and I’m glad the Civil War tie-ima have wrapped up even though they get better and better every issue

Wow. Just wow. Everything about this issue is perfect from the cover to that shocking last page. Brubaker and Epting give us an issue for the ages and although I won’t spoil it here, Captain America 25 has on of the most shocking panels in comics history.

He did it. He won. The Red Skull killed Steve Rogers. Bucky is broken, his best friend is dead. Sharon is broken, the love of her life is dead and she is just as guilty as the Red Skull. Brubaker is writing an amazing arc and its fascinating to see how Bucky, Sharon, and Sam are doing after last issues shocking events

This comic is just as good a series with its main character dead as with its main character alive, and Captain America 27 proves that. Sharon and Bucky’s storylines post-Cap’s death are fascinating and it looks like Brubaker still has tons of stories left in the tank

One of the worst issues of this series yet is actually a pretty good comic, just low quality for this series. The new Serpent Squad is bland and I don’t really care for them and this issue was all over the place.

A much better issue than last that continues Bucky’s search for revenge, Sam and Sharon’s search for Bucky and Tony’s search for revenge. Sin and Crossbones are also amazingly written by Brubaker and they are a joy in every issue they appear in

Another great issue post-Civil War. Brubaker has done a tremendous job of making Steve’s supporting characters the main characters after his death

Sort of a boring issue compared to other issues in this run but it doesn’t need to be overly exciting as this issue opens the second act of death of Captain America. I’m loving the trio of Bucky, Sharon, and Sam

Kind of an all over the place issue but the best part of this series continues to be Red Skull’s spectacularly evil plan come into place.

Bucky becomes the new Captain America as the obvious choice but it is still nonetheless satisfying. This issue sets the future for this series and I can’t wait to see the Red Skull vs Bucky showdown that is looming on the horizon

Great action and plot in Captain America 34. My only complaint is how dark this series is becoming

Great issue but for some reason the Bucky-Cap issues just aren’t as good as when Steve has the shield. I miss Steve Epting but his former sidekicks Mike Perkins and Butch Guice aren’t too bad

The Red Skull’s plan is definitely taking its time to unfold but hopefully that will lead to a more satisfying and even bigger payoff in the end. Interesting to see Sharon go from the 2nd most important character to barely appearing. Brubaker writes his villains perfectly

Epting is back! Anyways another usual issue post Steve’s death, which is mediocre by this series’ standards (which are very high). This series’ quality has actually declined by a bit since around issue 30 but still arguably the best Captain America run ever after Mark Gruenwald’s massive run

Pretty good issue but Bucky just isn’t as good as a character as Steve was. The most intriguing and interesting part of this series continues to be Red Skull and his devious plan

Brubaker’s knowledge and respect for continuity shines in Captain America 39, as Jack Monroe’s partner who also happens to be the Captain America from the 50s, has been revived and brainwashed by the Red Skull. Sharon is also pregnant with Steve’s kid, so yeah, it’s getting crazy

Captain America 40 is one of the best issues in a while as Bucky fights the 1950s Captain America. One of the highlights this issue is Sharon’s attempted escape that ends up in here getting stabbed right in the stomach by Sin. It looks like Sharon will survive, but wil her baby still in the womb?

Captain America 41 is a true return to form for this series and I can’t wait for next issue’s conclusion of everything that has happened since issue 1

We finally are starting to get some answers and it is insanely satisfying. Great issue

The best Captain America run in decades continues. I don’t know what to say about this comic without sounding like a broken record

Tony and Sam’s guest appearances make this issue even better than usual and the way Epting draws them is pure eye candy. Captain America 13 is a near perfect issue

Captain America 14 serves as the conclusion of everything so far and is by far the best issue yet. It’s a beautifully drawn emotional roller coaster that begs you to root for the villain (Bucky), while also setting up many many story arcs to come. I satisfying conclusion that leaves plenty for future arcs

Although, Steve doesn’t appear much in this issue, Captain America stands as one of this series’ best issues yet. Crossbones kidnapped the mind-wiped Sinthia Schmidt who thinks her name is Erica. Crossbones tortures Sinthia to try to make her remember who she is and who her father was. This comic sets up future issues perfectly and the art is great

Perkins’ art gives this issue a more laid back and joyful approach yet the mysterious and violent tones are still there. Crossbones and Sin make for great villains and the looming threat of Lukin/Skull and Bucky makes for a great issue

Brubaker is playing the long game, and when done right, the long game is the best game. This 2-issue storyline had nice pacing while continuing the overall story. One of the best series I’ve read in a long time

The return of Epting is timed perfectly as Steve and Sharon travel to London in search of Bucky. London as the new setting is a breath of fresh air and seeing Steve team up with Union Jack and Spitfire is easily the highlight of this issue

Another great issue that takes place in the UK. It only took 2 issues for Brubaker to make me care about the British heroes and I think I’ll read something relate to them when I’m done with this run. The long running story is never boring and I can tell it’s building to something big

Another great issue that continues the conflict of Cap/Sharon vs Bucky vs Lukin/Red Skull vs Crossbones/Sin. If that hasn’t convinced you to read this comic than nothing will

It was great to see Kamala and Scott reunite this issue but that’s about the only thing this War of the Realms tie in does. There is a lot of generic fight scenes paired with great art. It was good to see more of a spotlight on characters like Pinpoint and Patriot though

I liked Deodato’s art for this series and I had high expectations going in. Savage Avengers 1 is definitely not what I expected, and I think that’s a good thing. I loved the fight between Conan and Logan, the plot seems interesting so far, and the Punisher is coming next issue. Brave decision to kill off Brother Voodoo so early by Duggan

War of the Realms 3 gives the event a wider scope although this issue’s main purpose seems to be a start up for a bunch of tie ins to start. The art is great though and War of the Realms is still the best Marvel event in 4 years. Though this was the worst issue yet it is still exciting and an excellent read

The majority of this team’s action is in War of the Realms 3 yet this one-shot reveals how this rag tag Strikeforce assembled and what their mission is. Though unnecessary to the main event, War of the Realms Strikeforce: Dark Elf Realm is a violent romp through Svartalfheim with some of Marvel’s most violent characters

This book continues to be excellent and I don’t know what to say without repeating myself. Lark’s art is incredible and although he is no Epting he still draws life on to the pages. One of the best Captain America stories in decades

One of the best issues yet and I my only complaint is how grim Steve is. Otherwise, Captain America by Brubaker is a 10/10 comic

Brubaker and Epting deliver a perfect opening issue with wonderful art and no writing start. I was extremely interested from start to finish and their is really nothing wrong about this issue. It’s tremendous!

I love a good comics mystery, and so far Brubaker’s opening run on Captain America could one day be the best of them. Steve Epting, one of the best all time artists, captures Brubaker’s story perfectly with his art. The plot is simple yet beautifully complicated. It’s not as jovial as Kirkman’s run but it makes up for that in intensity and the art

The pacing slows down but this is still one of Ed Brubaker’s best comics. The best Cap story since the Mark Gruenwald years trudges along and even though this issue was the worst yet this arc is still extraordinary

Even though Captain America WW2 stories are everywhere and usually bland, this half-flashback issue kept me intrigued and the way Lark draws snowy Russia is incredible. This mystery is amazing and Brubaker keeps things nice and tidy by keeping the cast of characters small

Still questions to be answered but Captain America 6 was extremely satisfying and nice to look at. The idea of Steve’s past catching up to him has been done countless times before but not quite like this

Captain America 7 takes a break from the main story but the quality of this comic series did not decline. Brubaker’s enveloped me in Jack’s head perfectly and the last 3 pages were perfection. Totally unnecessary issue that I loved.

Simple, sweet, and slow tie-in to a rather fast paced no-time-for-breath (yet still awesome) event.

While the main Avengers team is off fighting mythical creatures in New York, Avengers 18 centers around the mysterious Squadron Supreme of America in Washington DC. The art is perfect and this issue sheds some light on this mysterious super team. Seriously, this issue is better than all the vampire civil war.

While this issue isn’t necessarily “bad” it makes Wanda and Pietro’s origin even more confusing, which is the exact opposite of what it should do. Instead, I suggest reading their original origin in the old comics or just watch Avengers: Age of Ultron

Completely skipable tie in to Avengers vs X-Men, but the Thing vs Namor fight was somewhat entertaining and the art was stunning

An interesting start to this Thanos and Gamora flashback. The art is nice and although I much prefer Thanos’ origin and motivation from Infinity War better, Thanos 1 still had me intrigued and invested.

Buffagni’s art is stunning and it fits this comic perfectly. Unfortunately, Lotti comes back next issue for the War of the Realms tie in issue. It was sad to see Kid Loki go and my favorite part of these last 2 issues was meeting the new Ravagers. I hope we see them again in War of the Realms or somewhere, or even there own mini-series, because they were very entertaining. I don’t see much of a reason for this series though after War of the Realms

This series has been leading to War of the Realms from the get go and it hasn’t disappointed. Lolli is back for the art and he does a good job. This rag tag group of Thor supporting characters has managed to stay interesting even with the death of Kid Loki. Angela continues to be the most intriguing character. And is it just or is most of the team homosexual. I mean Angela and Valkyrie are confirmed lesbian and Skurge got a little flirty with that Ravager robot

Not the worst issue but not the best either by Aaron and company. Cool storyline but for a vampire storyline it just feels a bit dry. There was a great scene between Tony and Dracula and I love how Aaron intertwines the Winter Guard and Vampire stories. I like Marquez’s art but this issue had me bored half the time. Pretty generic storyline so far

Vampire Civil War and Avengers 16 is basically all generic looking action and the worst part is the Avengers themselves seem like supporting characters. The villains are boring and the art is mediocre. Boring storyline but horrible execution by Aaron for not giving the Avengers enough panel time in their own book. There are some high points though, like the Winter Guard and Blade on the Avengers

The vampire civil war was definitely the worst arc of this series yet but it ended on a high note. I loved getting inside Blade’s head and that ending was a nice touch.

A beautifully drawn and entertaining issue that pits Old Thor and Old Man Phoenix vs Old Man Doctor Starbrand Ghost Sorcerer Iron Fist Doom. Yes, it’s exactly as fun as it sounds. And the best is still yet to come as Old Loki gains control of the Necrosword. Man, I love you Jason Aaron

Its been a while since we’ve seen young Thor and his return does not disappoint. Loki is again written perfectly by Aaron and you love him because he’s Loki and you hate him for playing with Thor’s feelings by planning Ericka the Red’s death. Also did anyone else notice Ericka the Red and Eric the Red seem very similar?

I can’t get over how bad the art was. Like, this issue was almost unreadable for me. Aaron’s writing for this issue is solid as usual but not enough to prevent Mike Del Mundo’s art from ruining the issue. Half the time I couldn’t tell what he was drawing. 90% of the issue their is no background. I saw another review that said “Mundo draws the Angel’s ship amazingly”. Well guess what, he didn’t draw the angel ship. Yes, Thor, Angela, and Valkyrie were imprisoned inside the ship yet Mundo’s background was blank white.

Del Mundo’s art isn’t as bad and it was great chatching up with Roz Solomon. The War of the Realms is coming and I couldn’t be more excited. The last page is my favorite, BECAUSE CUL IS BACK, B*TCH.

While this was definitely an interesting issue to read, the art took a dip in quality again. Anyways, I like the relationship between Odin and Thor in the MCU much much better, but I love Odin’s quote at the end.

Aaron gives us a perfect prelude to the War of the Realms and the art is fantastic. I love Thori and I’m hoping Mjornir will be returning soon. What a run by Aaron.

Loki is far and wide my favorite comic character after Spider Man so of course I loved this issue. Del Mundo’s art Is a pleasant surprise this issue, yet he still nowhere near the quality of Russell Dauterman, Esad Ribic, or Oliver Coipel.

 Ultimate Spider-Man #11 Apr 26, 2019

The event thats been brewing since 2014 is off to a great start as Jason Aaron gives us his best storytelling and Russell Dauterman gives us his amazing art. Seriously, Dauterman’s art is 1000x times better than Mike Del Mundo’s art. War of the Realms 1 doesn’t feel overcrowded at all like most events do and I can already safely say War of the Realms is Marvel’s best event since Secret Wars (Not much of a contest considering the events before WotR were Inhumans vs X-Men, Civil War 2, Secret Empire, and Infinity Wars). This issue is extremely satisfying considering that it pays off on almost 80 issues of Thor. My one problem is Loki’s death. It was perfectly written and drawn by Aaron and Dauterman but what’s the point if he just gets resurrected in July for his solo series?

While this issue is much less entertaining then War of the Realms 1, the art is still perfect and the story advances at a perfect pace. This issue mainly serves as a jumping on point for the tie ins and no sign of Thor. Nonetheless, War of the Realms is still Marvel’s next event in 4 years

The art is a delight to look at and I love the team the McElroy bros have assembled: Balder (Thor), Kate Bishop (West Coast Avengers), Thori (Thor), Wonder Man (Avengers), Miles Morales (Spider Man), Sebastian Druid (Secret Warriors), and Death Locket (Avengers Arena)! Now that’s an awesome group of characters. They have a simple mission: Protect Lausanne from Malekith’s forces at all costs! My only complaint is how generic and easy the McElroy brothers assembled this team

Gerry Dugan writes a fantastic Punisher tie in to War of the Realms. It’s nice to look at, brutal tone, fast pacing, violent, and it keeps you on your toes like all Punishers series should. Not necessary for War of the Realms but if you’re enjoying it you may as well read this tie in too

Aaron’s primary Daredevil story is fantastic (could Jason Aaron be Chip Zdarsky’s successor?). The Wolverine and Punisher story I actually really enjoyed while the Warriors 4 story felt boring to me. And I have no comment on the Howard the Duck story. No. Comment.

While Asgardians of the Galaxy has a very intriguing premise, the assembling of the team is way too fast and the pacing feels off. It would help if the art was better as well, but this series definitely has potential to be great

A pretty solid issue with great pacing. I still don’t like the art but this is shaping up to be a pretty good series. I love the team and I live the War of the Realms threat that Loki creates the horn for.

The art is pretty bad but this series is great because the team has a singular mission and that keeps the series focused. For a team book, though, Asgardians of the Galaxy seems much more focused on Valkyrie than any other character (Cullen Bunn wrote Valkyrie before in Fearless Defenders). Bunny has great respect for continuity as it combines elements of Fearless Defenders, Jeff Lemire’s Thanos, and Infinity Wars while it is sure to lead into War of the Realms in the future. But don’t let this intimidate you because I haven’t read Fearless Defenders or Infinity Wars yet I understand perfectly fine. The art holds this series back and it occasionally relies on past comics too much, but all in all a pretty good series and issue

Bunn has rightfully balanced the panel time between the team and the team has developed great chemistry. The art is bearable and Nebula is a worthy antagonist for this assembly of Asgardians. This series has impressed me so far and this issue is the best one yet.

These last 2 issues have definitely impressed me especially after a sluggish opening issue. The Nebula arc concludes and Bunn succeeds in making me care for the team. The art is still meh but Throg is drawn especially well. One of my personal favorite parts of this series is Bunn's respect for continuity.

The second arc of Asgardians of the Galaxy plays out pretty naturally from the last issue and I really liked the art in this issue for once. It looks like Urzuul is here to stay and we meet the new Ravagers. I didn't read Bunn's Drax series but wow what a line-up for the Ravagers: Yondu, Sera, Planet Terry, Ora, Cammi, and Pip the Troll! This series could get a little crowded but if it sticks to the main story idea it should be fine. Best issue yet!

I have to say, I definitely liked Prehistoric Iron Fist's origin better than prehistoric Ghost Rider's origin story. This issue was beautiful to look at and I was not bored once. In between each arc I hope Aaron tells a the origin for each member of the Prehistoric Avengers.

I'm not a fan of the vampire story so far but I like Marquez's art more than McGuinness'. I've never liked vampire stories and Avengers 14 doesn't spend enough time with the newest Avenger: Blade! Fortunately, Avengers 14 keeps you interested and invested for the next issue.

Avengers 7 is a filler issue yet it stands as arguably the best single issue of the series so far. I personally like Pichelli’s art over McGuinness’. Jason Aaron excels in telling stories taking place in the past (and future for that matter) and it’s pretty obvious this issue.

After the 1st 6 issues I was skeptical about this series, but this issues has proven me wrong. Unlike the first arc, Avengers 8 takes it’s time with the it’s and characters and Aaron lets the story develop naturally. Ghost Rider talks way too much and is basically the exact opposite of the Agents of SHIELD version but that may be the only bad thing about this series. Also Jason Aaron is a traitor for pairing Thor and She Hulk. I mean this guy wrote 35 issues about Jane Foster and then he goes and writes Thor and She Hulk kissing😂😂

Avengers just keeps getting better and better with each issue and this series is really starting to hit its stride. Best Avengers book since Hickman in my opinion. My only complaint is that Aaron doesn’t write the Black Panther/Namor rivalry nearly as well as Hickman did but still excellent series

Wow. Worthy 700th issue for the Avengers. Plenty of action and it’s apparent Aaron is going to be around for a long time. I’m more excited for War of the Realms then ever. Aaron sets the future for the Marvel Universe for years to come while delivering plenty of action and an awesome fight scene

This issue takes advantage of last issue’s absurd amount of action by slowing things down. While this issue is 99% dialogue it’s still almost as entertaining as last issue. Basically, it’s all character work and development and Aaron excels at that. Avengers 11 continues to let the story develop naturally and has the perfect pace, not to fast or slow.

While this “assembling the squad” issue is pretty solid, it pales in comparison to the last couple issues. I was a little bit too excited to see Gorilla-Man and Fat Cobra, who Aaron previously wrote in his amazing Wolverine run. I was excited to see these characters but I’m still not sure why they are necessary. I never liked SHIELD when they get involved with the Avengers (Except in the MCU), and the Agents of Wakanda is basically SHIELD. Also I think Jason Aaron has no idea what the physics of the ocean are, because there is no way Ka-Zar could’ve complete his mission without at least some oxygen (and a couple issues earlier She-Hulk was talking and jumping at the bottom of the ocean hundreds of miles down). I’m extremely intrigued by whatever is going on with Coulson and the Squadron Supreme though

West Coast Avengers is still the funnest book out there and Kelly Thompson continues her short yet excellent run. Unfortunately, Stefano Caselli did not draw this issue and the fact that Nicuolo’s art is mediocre doesn’t help either

Is it really true that 10 will be the last issue? That’s a genuine crime because this is one of the best comics out there and I don’t know why Marvel would cancel it. Anyways Gang Hyuk’s art is definitely a step up after last issue but it’s still no Caselli. The team dynamic is insanely good and I hope Thompson gets to finish her tale

Ramone and Johnny’s origin is finally revealed and its actually pretty cool. This is probably the best issue since 6 and I’m really sad that this issue is ending. Like really really sad. Like sadder then I was when Mockingbird was canceled. Sadder than I was when Hickman left Marvel. Ok not that sad but awesome, excellent issue

It’s an absolute crime this series got canceled. Imagine what could’ve happened if it didn’t! Jeff, Lucky, and Bridgette could’ve restarted the Pet Avengers! We could’ve the Quentin Quire/Gwenpool relationship develop more. If you’re wondering this issue got a 8.5 because the art sucked and it was obviously a rushed ending. We could have seen the story about Kate’s parents told in it’s entirety! Clint could have FINALLY gotten together with Kate (Clint had a crush on her in Fraction’s Hawkeye series). We don’t even know what happened to the West Coast Masters of Evil! It blows my mind that not that many people read this because they really missed out. Thanks Kelly for making Kate one of my favorite characters. JEFF THE LAND SHARK FOREVER!

I’m was glad that the first half of this issue let of catch up with our characters, who are criminally underused in Marvel’s Fresh Start. I didn’t see a need for a sequel to No Surrender but I found this first issue enjoyable and not forced. The best part about No Road Home, and No Surrender for that matter, is that they remind me so much of Avengers comics of old

Another good issue that is fabulously paced along with great art from Paco Medina. Nyx seems like a worthy villain and I love that this issue centered around Clint. And those last 2 pages though!

No Road Home improves upon No Surrender in the fact that the roster is smaller so you can have these issues where a certain character is the narrator. Nyx is a worthy villain for these Avengers and I really like this series. I’m still deciding if I like it better then No Surrender though

This issues our trio of writers reveals the origin of Nyx and her kids, and it’s pretty interesting. There is a fair amount of action and the character dynamic between Hulk/Clint/Rocket is pretty great and funny

No Road Home is really starting to hit its stride as their is a great amount of action, a lot of panel time for my favorite character in the series, Wanda, and a huge plot twist at the end. And I mean Marvel-universe-changed-for-good type twist

Easily the best issue of No Road Home and better than any issue part of No Surrender. I’ve never read a Conan comic before but I loved him here and our trio of writers made me care about him. Wanda Maximoff is a top 5 favorite character for me but after Busiek’s Avengers and House of M, she has been used sparingly and written with little to know depth, but that all changes in this issue. It’s an extra long issue, so the story develops fluidly. Wanda and Conan are drawn beautifully while I like their romance better than Wanda and Brother Voodoo, I’m a firm believer Wanda and Vision belong together. This is one of the best comics I’ve read in a while and I look forward to next issue. No Road Home improves upon No Surrender greatly by shortening the story and number of characters, but keeping the plot twists and high stakes

Not nearly as good as last issue but still a good issue on its own. No Road Home greatly benefits from the smaller amount of characters and smaller amount of issues than No Surrender. Nyx and her kids have also proven to be worthy villains and this is the best series that Wanda and Hercules have been a part of in years

This issue is chalk full of action but not many sincere character moments, and that’s ok every once in a while, as long as those fight scenes are drawn well. Thankfully Carlo Barberi draws this issue beautifully

This issue has a lot of action yet it comes off as overly climatic and dramatic. Pretty solid comic but I’d still say Avengers: No Surrender is better than No Road Home though. But who knows, maybe issue 10 will be a home run

I get what the writers were trying to do with the first part of the issue but it just comes out as extremely rushed and overly climatic. It just felt like the writers took the easy way out to beat Nyx. Most of the rest of this issue is was the characters wrapping things up. Pretty boring and frustrating issue. The first 7 issues were amazing but No Road Home failed to stick the landing. No Surrender > No Road Home. But at least I care about Conan now.

Black Order 1 is drawn beautifully but the fight scenes can be very confusing. I was expecting a lot from this series after Infinity War and it sort of failed to deliver. Black Swan, who is one of my favorite characters, is written extremely shallow as this issue centers around Corvus Glaive. Not that much of an interesting plot at this point but it’s only the first issue so room for improvement

Definitely an improvement over last issue but still a boring storyline with confusingly drawn yet beautiful fight sequences. I just don’t care about these characters or their mission. The story is so generic that it’s boring and their are definitely better comics out their worth your money

Black Order 3 is easily the best issue yet. The plot is still boring but this issue is the best yet because it’s told through the eyes of Black Dwarf, aka Cull Obsidian from Infinity War. He’s more of a complex character then he seems and honestly I hope he falls in love with Black Swan because he is a good brother to Corvus.

This issue upsets me because of how badly Black Swan is written and how misleading the cover is, even though the plot got slightly better this issue. Black Swan and Nova barely fight in this issue, despite the cover. Black Swan was one of the best characters in Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers/New Avengers/Secret Wars run, and yet she is so shallow in this series. She has no ulterior motive for joining the Black Order, except she just wants to fit in. That’s it. One of the most interesting and deceptive characters in recent memory written like this just has me frustrated. The plot does improve though and I’m actually a little excited for the Ebony Maw centered finale in issue 5

Derek Landy writes a fine Ebony Maw- and that’s about all the good stuff in this issue. First of all, giving the Black Order a mini series was risky, but giving it to a writer who’s never wrote a comic before is even riskier. This issue was pretty boring and the series itself made the Black Order kind of come off as weak. The only reason I got this comic was because it bounced out of Avengers: No Surrender but it didn’t come close to my expectations. They tried to give these characters depth, and it only worked with Black Dwarf. The Black Order are better written as a mysterious near-unstoppable threat to the Avengers or something, not doing boring missions for the Grandmaster. There were some bright spots though, like Tan’s beautiful art. Unfortunately, this issue Tan didn’t draw, which also contributes to its low rating

Not once did I find myself bored while reading West Coast Avengers 3 and this series is becoming one of my favorite comics Marvel is publishing. This issue is perfectly paced with just the right amount of humor. This is Marvel’s most underrated series so read because it is fantastic

A near perfect issue with beautiful art from one of my personal favorite artist STEFANO CASELLI and tremendous character writing by Kelly Thompson. Thompson made me care about some of my 3 least favorite characters ever: Quentin Quire, Gwenpool, and America Chavez. Easily one of my favorite series only 4 issues in

I can’t say enough about this series because it truly is awesome. I hope Thompson stays on this book for years to come and West Coast Avengers is easily a better series than Aaron’s Avengers and probably even Zub’s Champions at this point. Read it.

Thompson writes her characters perfectly and I love the team dynamic that they have. West Coast Avengers is the best team book Marvel is publishing, even over Champions (barely). And you have to love that twist of a last page!

Thor 2 improves on an already good issue that was issue 1. I’m starting to get used to Del Mundo’s art even though Instill believe his art is not right for Thor. This issue skips the dilly dally that the first issue did with the Juggernaut fight and went right to business. The pacing is perfect as Thor and Loki arrive in Niffleheim. Aaron writes this like an actual War story as Thor, Loki, Blader, Tyr, Karnilla, and Thori plan a raid on a train owned by the invading Muspelheim. They raid the train for a weapon and they find Hela and Fenris. Anyways this issue was very exciting and I can’t wait for next issue

The art really holds this series back and I can’t help but think what it would look like with Russell Dauterman drawing it. The story is again great by Jason Aaron and even though the War if the Realms event hasn’t started yet, the war has still been raging for a while now. The character writing is great, especially for Loki. Mike Del Mundo’s art, unfortunately, draws Loki like the Joker and Thor’s hair and beard are drawn pure yellow. I love the twist where Loki murders Thor though

A satisfying finale to a tremendous opening Thor story. I’m sad Thanos had to break up with Hela so he can go do his thing in Infinity Wars, and it makes it seem like Marvel didn’t have things all planned out by writing Thanos and Hela as a couple in the first place. The art is still awful but after a couple issues it’s bearable. Aaron still continues his excellent Thor run and it is not disappointing so far.

Coming into this issue I was really excited for a full issue of Future Thor stories, but in short, Future Thor stories work better as a complement to current Thor stories. A whole comic of Future Thor is just too much to keep things interesting as Aaron has to stretch out Logan and Thor’s flashback scene and the Old Man Phoenix and Thorn fight lasted way too long. But you gotta love that last page though: Doctor Doom with the power of the Iron Fist, Starbrand, and the Sorcerer Supreme! Also poor Ego got beaten by a worm

Wow. I’ve been waiting for this series since Kelly Thompson’s Hawkeye was canceled in early 2018, and I was even more ecstatic when Stefano Caselli was announced as artist, as he’s one of my all time personal favorite artists (Seriously, check out his other Marvel stuff). Anyways this book was HILARIOUS. When first saw the cover I was like “huh” because this team seemed to be complied of just random outcastes characters. Gwenpool, America Chavez, and Quentin Quire are honestly some of my most hated characters in comics but Kelly Thompson somehow made it fun to read about them. Also, when did Johnny get powers. Clint and Kate’ dynamic is still awesome to read and I love the chill tone Thompson sets. We’re in for a good one

This issue wasn’t as good as the first but the humor is still the same even though this comic was all over the place. But first I love how the team has the camera crew following them because it makes for some good laughs, kind of like Modern Family. Also I was crying of laughter when Gwenpool and Quentin kissed. Anyways the BRODOK stuff is basically meant for laughs and I just can’t find him funny.

This is a prime example of why Zub’s Champions is amazing. The dialogue is perfect and the action was great and exciting, yet he resolved the Miles/Kamala conflict in an interesting way that didn’t involve them fighting each other. Cummings’ art is perfect and month in month out Champions is a great series

The first third of this issue is awful. Mike Del Mundo’s art does not fit the series at all and Inwish Russell Dauterman, Esad Ribic, or Oliver Coipel could’ve returned to Thor instead of Del Mundo. The first part of the story is Thor fighting Juggernaut for an Asgardian artifact. The fight is poorly written and their is wayyyy to much dialogue to go along with Del Mundo’s art. After Thor leaves Midgard though, the whole issue improves. The art is the same but the character interactions between Thor and Odin, Fregja, Jane, and Loki (hes back!!!) are fantastic. The future story is also great as Okd Thor confronts Older Man Logan with the Phoenix

Champions 3 is a very chill issue that leads into the opening arc’s finale next issue. My only complaint is that I wish we got to know the newer members more

Gillen’s Journey Into Mystery is back on track after a terrible crossover with New Mutants. Loki is written perfectly and Gillen gives him perfect dialogue. This looks like the beginning of another great story before Everything Burns happens

Definitely a step down from last issue. The pace is fast, too fast. Details are thrown at you so fast its hard to comprehend what’s going on in the comic, and when you do understand it it’s not too interesting either. Luckily, as usual, Gillen’s writing of Loki and Leah makes this comic a joy to read

An otherwise good but not great story ends with an absolutely devastating heartbreaker that I won’t spoil here

The finale to Gillen’s Journey Into Mystery begins in epic fashion. Loki is the best part of this series and Fraction’s Mighty Thor series.

The stakes have never been higher (literally: all nine Realms are at stake) and Loki is still up to his same old tricks. Leah is somehow back, but on Surtur’s side. Everything Burns is definitely worth the wait

This may be the best issue yet. Kieran Gillen has outdone himself with the way he writes Loki and I cant say that enough. Tremendous issue that plays with your emotions

Wow. Just wow. Read it

There’s nothing unique or special about this story but it has its moments and the art is growing on me. Loki is still by far the best part about this story but I wish Fraction would just get down to business and bring Thor back because we all knew he wouldn’t be dead for long

While not the worst Thor arc, this story and issue drag us through a mightily slow pace. Thor is still “dead” while Loki and Silver Surfer try to pick up Mjornir and Tanarus, Karnilla, and the trolls continue to plot against the All-Mothers. The scene where Karnilla kills Kelda and the other witch was definitely a high point

A slightly better issue as the pace speeds up and Thor comes back. We need some desperately needed fight scenes for next issue’s finale in an often boring and sometimes unnecessary story arc

A satisfying finale to a mediocre story. Thor is finally back and everyone remembers him while the trolls, Karnilla, and Ulik are imprisoned. The part at the end where Bill and Kelda reunite was extremely touching, as that plot point has been going on since Michael Straczynski’s time as writer

Actually a very entertaining point one issue. My biggest observation: I can’t wait for what Fraction has planned for Loki

An intriguing start to this new storyline that I have a feeling that will be pretty good. Not sure how I feel about the art work though and I wish Donald Blake could just be gone for good because everything involving Blake is boring and confusing

I’m really liking this series right now. I have no idea how Fraction comes up with these ideas but I’m sure glad he does.

Unfortunately Fraction’s Thor run falls in between Straczynski’s run and Aaron’s legendary Thor run. Fraction’s Thor can’t compete with this either runs but it is still nonetheless enjoyable and fun

This issue continues the fun and action from last issue and the art is pretty good. Not the best Thor story or issue ever but definitely a fun and readable story

I really enjoyed this issue as it brings a close to the Mare threat. I hope Fraction is done with Donald Blake because if I were Marvel I would never use Donald Blake again. Enchantress and the Mares were great villains and it was fun to see Thor beat them

Not the worst issue ever but I’m definitely tired of the past. This issue is mostly flashbacks to the first Aenir Vanir war as Everything Burns will be somewhat about the second. Unlike Jason Aaron and Straczynski’s Thor runs, Fractions run relies heavily on past stories, rather than crafting new stories out of nothing like the other 2 did. This story does have the potential to be great though, as it’s the culmination for both Mighty Thor and Journey Into Mystery

While Mighty Thor 18 was mediocre, this issue vastly improves upon it. Seeing Thor and Loki together in the same book is extremely entertaining and refreshing.

Loki’s twists and turns just keep on coming- and I wouldn’t have it any other way

A great finale to Everything Burns that is extremely satisfying. I loved Loki and Leah and although Thor didn’t do as much as Loki he was still great.

A pretty boring finale to a good yet forgettable Thor run. It honestly wasn’t that bad of a series, it just pails in comparison to the runs that precede and succeed it.

This annual is not worth its oversized price. If you haven’t read DeMatteis’ previous work with Other, Oblivion, and Scrier, then I recommend you skip this issue. It doesn’t have any effect at all on the main Fraction run

I loved Marvel Legacy 1, and I’m happy the story is finally continuing in Jason Aaron’s Avengers. The McGuinness’ art is colorful, fun, and vibrant and the roster of the team is very intriguing. Aaron writes his characters exceptionally, well, all except Ghost Rider that is. Amazing start to a hopefully great series

Loki is my favorite Marvel character ever outside of Spider Man, so I was extremely excited to see him appear at the end of this issue. I wasn’t actually surprised because we saw Loki find a dark celestial in Marvel Legacy 1. The art is a pure delight but I wish the writing for She Hulk and Ghost Rider were better.

Easily the best issue yet as Aaron’s opening arc continues. Aaron writes Loki’s dialogue spot on and McGuinness draws him perfectly. I can’t wait to learn more about the prehistoric Avengers next issue

This series, and issue in particular, tends to focus heavily on weird retcons to the origins of humanity rather than action or team building. Though the art is still great and overall series is still pretty good their is definitely room for improvement. Wish we got more time with the prehistoric Avengers. Not a fan of Aaron’s characterization of Robbie as well

The series is overall good but its the little things that hold it back. The horrible jokes. Tony Stark talking wayyyyy to much. Trying to fit 2000 foot tall celestials in less than 1/8 of a page. The stupid retcons. She Hulk and Robbie’s writing from Jason Aaron. Ok thats a lot of bad things but this series is actually really great and also LOKI🤩

Very very very bad ending to an otherwise great opening arc for this series. The solution for fighting the dark celestials you ask? Well Thor and She Hulk eat ice and grow celestial size and Tony Stark presses a button and gets an enormous celestial size suit from Mars while Ghost Rider replaces his 69 Charger with a dead celestial body. It. was. awful. Over climatic doesn’t even begin to describe the second half of this issue. Robbie is still making terrible jokes. More retcons reveal that the Avengers are a pathogen for a 4-billion year old bug disease called the Horde. Seriously, this issue is pathetic.

7.5
 The Mighty Thor #7 Apr 19, 2019

Boring and kind of unnecessary issue. Asgard seems brainwashed after the death of Thor in Fear Itself as no one remembers Thor and the Mighty Tanarius has replaced him. All except Loki, who only remembers Thor thanks to the three witches. The All-Mothers are beginning to make reforms to Asgard as Tanarus is revealed to be Ulik in disguise in a plot by the trolls to take advantage of the power vacuum left by Thor and Odin. At the end of the issue Thor is seen with more dead people about to be Eaton by the Demomorge.

This Thor series is really good but its sadly overlooked by the Aaron run that comes after it

Galactus Seed is a great opening arc for the Fraction-Coipel dream team and I can’t wait to see how it ends. Sid is treated as Thor’s equal while Loki is just as clever and mischievous as ever

Another astonishing issue. The world of Thor is crazy with Siege and Fear Itself coming back to back but Fraction still manages to driver a great story

A worthy finale for a great and unique Thor story. I love the idea of Thor going up against Galactus

Pretty good start to hopefully a great story arc. I love how Fraction treats Thor and Sif as equals and I can never get enough of Loki, even when he’s a kid. I’m really looking forward to when Galactus arrives and the art by Coipel is extraordinary

This issue does what last issue couldn’t by making Thor center stage while he took a backseat last issue. The Silver Surfer is great and although Fraction’s dialogue makes it hard to read, the plot is intriguing and engaging

This issue somehow continued to be fun and entertaining despite not as much action as previous issues. The SHIELD drama reminds me a lot of Hickman’s Secret Warriors as does the big number of characters and complex plot. Love this series!

In the Marvel’s description for the issue, it says Daisy vs Maria, for everything. Well they don’t exactly fight or anything and all this issue did was set up a fight for the future. Anyways, this issue was more boring than usual but still extremely interesting

I really love what Spencer is doing this is great. My favorite part of this issue is when MODOK comes out of the jet, revealing to be the real mastermind and Maria is just like oh ****. Hilarious. We better start getting some answers soon though because there are only 4 issues left!

I do love Taskmaster but this comic just takes all the wrong risks. Like Mockingbird being trapped inside AIM for this long is dumb and what was the point of War Machine and Hulk becoming Secret Avengers if they don’t do anything?

This was a very confusing issue. Apparently MODOK is spilling AIM’s secrets to Maria. Mockingbird is a traitor working for AIM and the explanation by Andrew is very confusing. Nick Fury, Daisy, and Bucky are just sitting around I assume? We’re grtting no answers as to why Clint and Nat joined the team, or why Nick Fury Jr is a murderer, or any answers about all this Reverie stuff at all. At least the AIM High Council is fun

This issue is a lot better than the last but were still not getting a lot of answers. Not too much dialogue and great action though!

So a lot of stuff happened , and somehow not much of anything happened? Stay with me here. This issue had me confused so you may have to reread it once or twice. So Maria Hill strikes a deal with MODOK and the war between SHIELD and AIM ends. Mockingbird goes back to normal after her AIM brainwashing. Taskmaster survived his execution, but it was never really revealed if he was loyal to SHIELD or if Andrew swayed him to AIM’s side. We get no answers as to why Nick Fury Jr Kills so much, and Clint never finds out why Fury Jr shot him. We still don’t know why Clint and Nat joined. We get no answers on Reverie. And I guess Daisy’s war one SHIELD with Bucky and Nick Fury is for Ales Kot’s upcoming run. Anyways I just wished we had one more resolution issue to kinda tie things up

Don’t know what’s with the harsh criticism from the critics but I actually enjoyed this issue. It had plenty of action and was complicated enough that it kept you guessing but never too complicated to the point you are confused

I was definitely not expecting to like this as much as I did. I wasn’t the biggest fan of Spencer’s Secret Avengers Fear Itself tie ins but this issue blew me away. The art was GREAT. I wasn’t the biggest fan either of the Secret Avengers series, and Rick Remender’s run was easily my favorite. I love the idea of having a smaller team roster, with just Coulson, Nick Fury Jr, Hawkeye, and Black Widow. Excellent first issue that I can’t wait to read the next issue. This series is basically a mixture of Hickman’s Secret Warriors, the original Secret Avengers series, and Waid’s SHIELD.

I’m really loving this series so far and I can tell it will be one of my favorites when all these mysteries start being solved. Love Spencer’s treatment of Taskmaster, as I feel he is really underused. Luke Ross knocks it out of the park again

We never get any breathing room in Secret Avengers, and that’s one of the main reasons I love it. The team has expanded a lot since issue one, with the addition ms of Taskmaster, Mockingbird, and it looks like War Machine will join some time in the future

This series is just so good. It reminds me a lot of Hickman’s Secret Warriors, which makes sense because Nick Spencer is kind of Hickman’s protege of sorts. The villains are so intriguing and threatening, and Spencer is plainsong so many seeds that when the climax comes, it’s going to be absolutely insane.

I really am wondering what Marcus Fury is up too. He shot Clint three times in the first issue, killed Andrew Forson and countless other AIM agents without hesitation. Oh and Marvel, don’t think I didn’t notice that calling Marcus Fury Nick Fury is just your way of making Fury like the movie version. Anyways, I hope Daisy still has a major apart in this series even though she’s fired

Hey another tremendous issue. I don’t know what to tell you if your not reading this book already that I haven’t said in my previous reviews. The cast of the team is great and their are multiple major twists and turns each issue. Seriously, after each issue nothing is the same and their is always a big shake up. Much better than the original Secret Avengers series

There was plenty of action on the AIM Island fight and still plenty of drama between Daisy and Maria. I love this series so much and I really hope Luke Ross returns soon.

Hickman’s perfect character writing of Sunspot and Cannonball started here and I’m not a big fan of the art but I love the overall idea of the story

I never knew Hickman could write short, funny, and uncomplicated stories as well as he has

The Mojoworld story is incredibly funny as it makes the funniest sex, 4th wall, and stuff wrong with comic book jokes. Seriously it’s hilarious

This issue tries way too hard to be a movie tie in. I’ve trued so hard to care about the Zodiac but I just can’t.

Bagley’s art just seems really bad compared to his previous works and this issue did improve since Thanos is here, but Bendis tries way too hard to make this comic the Avengers movie

There wasn’t much action in this issue, but this was easily the best issue yet. Bendis’ character writing shined and, yes, the Guardians of the Galaxy are here too. What’s not to love? Oh, and that kiss.

Ever since last issue things have really improved. No more Zodica means I can actually care about the villain and Bendis writes an amazing Guardians Avengers teamup. Kinda disappointing Bendis’ Guardians of the Galaxy run didn’t work out because he is talented

Another pretty good issue but this is definitely not Thanos or Bagmey at there best

Mediocre ending to an, overall, pretty mediocre run be Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Bagley. For an Avengers comic, Bendis somehow made the Guardians the most interesting and most well written characters in the book, while the first two issues failed greatly in engaging the reader. For this issue, the pacing felt off, but it’s still the icing on the cake to s strong last 4 issues.

Now that was awesome. Easily the best comic I’ve read all month and Stefano Caselli knocks it out of the park again. Seriously, everything that has his art is great. And those first couple pages! The dialogue is GREAT and I can just imagine that happening in my head. The rest of the issue is just as fantastic and I need more

The size of the team is not too big and not too small, a rarity in Avengers comics these days. DeConnick’s dialogue and character writing are tremendous and she has proven to be more than just a Captain Marvel writer

This storyline wrapped up in 3 issues, instead of being dragged out for 4-6, which I hate. 3 issues worked well with this storyline and I love Stefano Caselli. Great storyline

Avengers Assemble’s hot streak continues with yet another spectacular issue. This time the cast is much smaller, just centering around Natasha, Clint, and Jessica. The character writing is back and things will get interesting if Jessica finds out abyNat and Clint’s kiss. So far intriguing and great story so far but I don’t know how I feel about that last page

Definitely the weakest issue yet since Bendis but not bad at all, just not as good as DeConnick’s other issues

I actually liked this comic’s in depth look at Vision. Although the art was awful, the plot was pretty simple and easy to follow. Great character writing by Gage

I’m pretty sure Duggan’s Spider Woman and Kitty Pryde story was written last second but it somehow manages to be better than the second story about Hawkeye and Deadpool. Still not worth 4 bucks but one of the better issues so far

Surprisingly, David Lapham’s X-Kid story is better than Nathan Edmondson’s Captain America and Wolverine story. Still though, skip this issue because it’s not worth your money

I’m not gonna lie, this is one of the worst single issues I’ve ever read. The first story had mediocre art and was confusing. And the second story was some actual s**t. In the 2nd, I can never tell who the red character is (It’s Scarlet Witch). That’s how bad the art was. Wanda has ginormous boobs and an Asian face and like, new hair? In to the story though. That’s the real reason this issue gets a 1. I was confused by page 1 of the 2nd story. Page 1. I had no clue what was going on, the dialogue was terrible, and it was just a mess. Adam Warren, please just retire while your behind

Interesting breather issue but the story doesn’t move forward at all. Love the art here. Arcade, especially when written by Hopeless, is slowly becoming one of my favorite villains

So we lost another character and another character goes bad this issue. This issue sets up the next 4 perfectly and I just can’t understand why the critics and my fellow fan reviewers don’t love this comic as much as I do

Looks like one of our characters is trying to overthrow Arcade as the main villain of the series. This comic is just so inteyand unlike anything I’ve ever read. I just hope X-23, Reptil, Hazmat, Nico, and Cullen Bloodstone survive

I just can’t tell you enough how great Avengers Arena is. It has perfect art, great character writing, a great plot, a great villain, tons of teen drama, characters die, and they stay dead, and X-23, because she’s great.

I was expecting to be angry after reading this issue because apparently Hazmat and Reptil become a thing but don’t worry it doesn’t happen, at least in this issue. Anyone else wondering what happened to Darkhawk?

This issue does not disappoint and as much as I hate Apex and Death Locket, I have to say that was pretty entertaining.

Though this issue probably only exists because Dennis Hopeless needed a break from the rigorous 18 issues a year schedule, it was still entertaining and answered a ton of questions. 2 academy kids have already been killed off but if any survive here’s to a relaunch of Avengers Academy!

As the final arc begins, you can really tell things are about to get crazy. Trust me, if Hopeless says he’s killing everybody but one, Is believe him. He killled off Juston and his Sentinel! Like, Dennis, do you even have a heart. How could you do that? Not to mention the first issue where my second favorite character from Avengers Academy exploded. This all respect to Hopeless, because he’s not afraid to take risks, even though he knows he will be hated for it. Gotta respect him for never pulling his punches. I feel like, in a way, Hopeless writes Arcade as himself because they both control what happens to these characters

Even though the UK kids were totally new to me coming into this series, I found myself really enjoying this issue. Though I never support the decision to be gay, I still like Cullen. I just wish he was straight

That. Was. Insane

There are really no words to describe these last two issues

Unfortunately, my two favorite characters of the series: Reptil and Mettle, did not make it out alive. Fortunately, I like X-23 even more now and I found myself rooting for the Runaway kids a lot. Very excited for Avengers Undercover and hey, since Arcade escaped, maybe we get Avengers Arena season two?

I just wanted the survivors to get a break after what they’ve been through but this is Comics I guess. Sad to see Cullen Bloodstone becoming a villain and X-23 was notably absent. Really excited for this comic

Wow this issue was really a step up from the first. Hopeless writes these characters perfectly and this series would not work without that

Arcade’s apparent death was incalculably satisfying and it’s looking like Avengers Undercover is a worthy sequel to Avengers Arena

I’m really liking the tension that is building up and Hopeless has me always on my feet rooting for my favorite characters. Hoping Cullen becomes a good guy again

The best part about Avengers Undercover is that the team is tempted to join the villains, and Hopeless writes this situation so well that I sometimes can’t help but hope that THEY DO join the villains. Hopeless makes it just so tempting. Also when did Death Locket get so old? In Avengers Arena looked like 11 so she would be 12 now but it looks like she’s in a relationship with a 20 year old villain and she suddenly has is not skinny any more and grew boobs as well as 4 inches taller. Just me pointing something out

Amazing issue again for Avengers Undercover but I just cant over the difference between AA Death Locket and AU Death Locket. The characterization of her is great but the art makes it seem like she’s 21 instead of 11

This Cammi twist had me and Death Locket’s turn into villainy was so entertaining. Marvel cancelled this story way too soon because this would have worked better in a 12-15 issue format

Hopeless is really trying to fit the whole story into these last 3 issues because this seemed really rushed. Imagine if this series were 13 issues and everything would’ve worked out fluidly instead of forced

I really hope their is a follow up series to round out the trilogy but Avengers Undercover ended way too soon.

A satisfying conclusion to everything that started in Avengers Arena 1. We met 16 superhero teens in Avengers Arena 1, and as of Avengers Undercover 10, Nico, Cullen, Cammi, Anachronism, and Hazmat are the only ones still intact. Mettle died. Red Raven died. Juston died. Kid Briton died. Nara died. Apex died. Reptil died. X-23 went missing. Darkhawk went missing. Death Locket became a villain. Chase got a hole through the chest courtesy of Locket but Nico healed him but he’s still in a coma. What a great 28 issues Dennis Hopeless. I still hate you for killing Mettle and Reptil but I love you just the same

Frank talked A LOT in this issue and there wasn’t a ton of action but this is definitely an interesting set up for a series

Cates is hoeing why he’s the future of Marvel and this is another fun issue. I still think Frank talks to much but the plot is great

Still tons of fun. I love Juggerduck by the way. I can’t stop saying it. Juggerduck

Still a good issue but with all this alternative universe and time travel stuff I feel like I’m reading a 90s X-Men book

A great finally and I really enjoyed Frank as a character. I love the part where Frank begs Death to just leave Thanos alone. If Cosmic Ghost Rider is going to be a Guardian, how does he get to the present though?

Well, one thing is for sure: Dennis Hopeless doesn’t pull his punches. One of my all time favorites is already dead. Great art by the way and great synopsis that doesn’t disappoint

This series is so far keeping me wildly entertained and Hopeless writes these characters GREAT. We lost another character this issue but I didn’t really care for this character. 14 remain

This series is so great please read it I know it gets a lot of hate but for all the right reasons! And if you don’t like the series itself the letter pages can be just as entertaining lol

This book really gets you on the edge of your seat because it feels like your favorites are always in danger. Hopeless is a genius for this

This Braddock Academy stuff is so entertaining especially since they are all new characters Kev Walker has really good art as well

Not enough support for this series read it it is great!

Pretty standard transition issue. Looking forward to seeing what Zub can do

I love the respect from continuity by Jim Zub by remembering Master of the World from Kurt Busiek’s Kang Dynasty but didn’t he die though? Anyway this issue was kinda boring but Zub writes the characters great

This is why Zub’s Champions run is already better than Waid’s. Zub finished his opening arc in three issues, which would’ve taken Mark Waid a lot longer to do. In his opening arc, Jim Zub has already created on all new character, joined that character to the team, and gave the Champions a new villain for down the road. I didn’t like his Uncanny Avengers but Jim Zub, I’m impressed

Really good issue. In Zub’s brief run, he has added a new character to the team, stripped away Sam’s powers, gave Riri a new suit, and transformed Amadeus from Chulk to Brawn. Zub always keeps the series changing and that’s what I love. You could never get bored in an issue because something is always going on, and that wasn’t the case with Waid’s run

Zub understands these characters so well and the series itself is very interactive. Definitely one of the better Marvel comics the publisher is producing. My only complaint is Nadia Pym

This was actually a really cool and touching issue. All these school shootings are a major problem and this issue portrays our real weird problems great as their is a shooting at Miles’ school. I live the way Zub writes Sam, Miles, and Kamala and Zub’s run is arguably already better than Waid’s

In a 3rd of the issues, Jim Zub has already done so much more with the Champions than Waid has. Think about it, Zub has: created Snowguard, taken away Sam’s helmet, school shootings, Ironheart gets new suit, fight against Man Thing, fight against Thanos, adventure in Weirdworld, and fight against Master of the World like wow Jim Zub is really impressing me. Read this comic

Kinda a generic alternative universe story with Weirdworkd but still a great issue for fans of the Champions. Highly recommended

Want Zub has done with half the issue as Waid has had been prolific and I can’t weight for Zub to write Champions with a new number 1 bc this was a fantastic run. Hopefully the Champions are here to stay

Reviews aren’t to positive but I think this is definitely a fantastic return for Jim Zub and the Champions. The expansion of the team opens many story opportunities up while Zub still keeps his character writing on par while keeping the original Champions together

This is quality comics and I don’t know what to say without sounding like a broken record

Wow that was bad. The issue one was great and I was really looking forward to this issue, but the main focus has shifted to the Inhumans instead of House of M aftermath. Very poorly written and Pietro is very out of character. Not recommended

Man has this series gone down hill. All the character development and aftermath were thrown out the window after issue one. Quicksilver is written so out of character. Horrible series that struggles to make sense

This literally makes no sense. The whole time travel thing is more confusing than usual and I regret starting this series because being the completionist that I am I have to finish it. The art is acceptable accept with Luna because she looks awful. Terrible series

Save yourself and don’t read this. Just don’t

Literally the best part of this issue was that’s it the last issue. Sadly, I will not be reading part 2 of the story, Silent War

Amazing issue that focuses on the aftermath of House of M. Quicksilver and Spider Man are written perfectly by Hine and the art was a pleasant surprise. I was so excited for this comic after Infinished House of M because of how heavily involved Quicksilver was. Hopefully we’ll see Wanda the series ends

Avengers: No Surrender thrives even though classic team members like Hank Pym, Steve Rogers, Tony Stark, Thor Odinson, Bruce Banner, Natasha Romanoff, and Peter Parker are not involved in the series. Instead, classic X-Men like Rogue and Sunspot and B-Listers like Falcon and Living Lightning take more prominent roles within the Avengers. It’s amazing what the trio of writers have been doing without most of the core Avengers. Fantastic story

Ewing writes Hulk like no other writer can. He is truly terrifying this issue and if your spine didn’t shiver once this issue then you are fearless. Marvel Legacy has been pretty bad but Avengers: No Surrender may be the best part about it

This is probably one of Hulk’s top 3 biggest rampages and an argument could be made this is his biggest rampage yet. Hulk absolutely destroys the Avengers auxiliary HQ and it’s pure delight.

Easily the best Avengers story of the post-Secret Wars world. Everything that started in All-New All-Different Avengers is concluding and the trio of writers handles it perfectly. Waid writes the weekly format fantastically, just like he did with 52. Al Ewing takes the readers back to the Silver Age with his horrifying take on Hulk. Jim Zub writes Quicksilver like no writer ever has and really makes you understand him.

The Voyager mystery was a lot of fun and I was hoping she would be Valeria Richards so the Richards family could be alive and come home but at least she wasn’t Kobik. That would’ve been stupid.

Quicksilver has always been one of my favorite characters and I love Wanda and Pietro’s relationship. I really hope Pietro is alive though

A really really solid conclusion and I don’t know what to say that I haven’t said already so just read Avengers: No Surrender. The art is pure eye candy

A bit all over the place but still a nice and quiet aftermath issue after all that video game like action
6.0
 Point One #1 Feb 10, 2019

Ahmed’s dialogue and Nguyen’s thought provoking art make this issue a very pleasant surprise. I’ve always loved Pietro and I hope he finds a way back because I don’t know what I’d do without him. Excellent first issue

The 2nd issue is even better than the first and I love the art. Saladin Ahmed’s background in writing novels and poems shows off here with incredible dialogue. Pietro is written perfectly and I can’t recommend this enough

Easily the best issue yet. If you thought Saladin Ahmed exelled at writing Pietro, wait until this issue when he gets his hands on Wanda. Wanda and Pietro’s relationship is written perfectly, which hasn’t even been tried after the monstrosity himself Jeph Loeb made them lovers in Ultimates 3. The art is amazing as usual. I’m not gonna lie, tears were welling up when I read this issue because it’s just so good

Kind of annoying how Wanda appears and then goes back to being frozen in time again and again but otherwise a great issue.

I love that ending and hopefully this series will open the door for writers to feel comfortable about writing Pietro and Wanda after Ultimates 3. I really loved this series and I’ll have to go check out Black Bolt and Miles Morales: Spider Man because I really like Saladin Ahmed

Wow this issue was packed. First of all, I hate when their is a big disaster with a bunch of natural disasters and phenomenons. We’ve seen it soooo many times. Slott’s Mighty Avengers and Fear Itself did the exact same thing. Anyways, the art was great and a huge improvement from Del mundo. I loved the idea of all the active Avengers coming together but straight out of the gate Half of them get frozen? What’s the point of advertising a story with all the active Avengers when half of them are out of action by the first issue? I can’t wait for more Revelations about Voyager and even though this wasn’t the best opener I have a feeling No Surrender can be one of the best Avengers stories ever

I love the inclusion of the Black Order and I’m not as big as a fan of the Lethal Legion but this arc is very interesting. Still disappointed so many Avengers are frozen but still a lot of great characters

Woah that was good. I’ve always loved Pieter and now he is getting the attention and recognition he deserves. That said, I really really really hope he didn’t just die. I love how amidst this grand epic, Waid, Ewing, and Zub still find ways to finish unresolved plot points from their old series. Also, I love the respect for continuity (Ewing’s specialty). I mean they wrote about a secret base that hasn’t been mentioned since 1965 in Avengers 13! I love it!

Another great issue. Waid, Ewing, and Zub’s writing styles complement each other perfectly and the art sets the tone. This is really forming into one of the best Avengers stories yet but when will we know more about the Voyager?

Great issue that shows the origins of the Challenger. A very worthy villain that you can’t help but root for.

Kind of all over the place but still a strong issue. No Surrender is the best Avengers story since Jonathan Hickman’s epic

I was hoping for a bit more on the Voyager but I’ll take what I can get. My main complaint is that many characters are frozen and not doing anything.

 Avengers (2016) #682 Feb 9, 2019

I didn’t want the team to get crowded with this membership drive but thankfully all the characters on the cover didn’t join. I’m interested to see more of Red Locust, Patriot, and Falcon but not so much Ironheart, Moon Girl, Devil Dinosaur, and Spider-Gwen. The Viv Visions are also an interesting plot line

Solid issue and this Viv stuff is getting crazy. It’ll be sad to see Waid and Humberto go after this issue

My only problem with Mark Waid’s final issue on this title is how easy it was to change Viv back into a robot again. It seems like Waid just wrote an easy way out. Anyways, the character work was really strong, especially with cyclops and I was sad to see Scott go. It felt very crowded with all the new members so we’ll see what Jim Zub does next issue

I’ve been waiting for the Avengers/Champions showdown for a while and this didn’t disappoint. I’m glad their is an actual antagonist and threat to the world instead of just a big fight between the Avengers and Champions. Art is amazing

Another great installment of the Worlds Collide crossover. Avengers wise, Marvel Legacy seems like a big success so far

I really liked this issue and Waid is on fire with Avengers and Champions

Weakest issue of the world’s collide crossover so far but still a ton of promise for parts 5 and 6. Waid is doing a great job but Humberto Ramos is lagging behind the Avengers series artist

I liked this crossover/team-up with the Avengers and that last page though

I do appreciate Waid giving us an aftermath issue after a big event and I usually love aftermath issues but this was poorly executed. Art also sucks. They need to find a good artist for this series. I did love the Vision and Hercules friendship though

I love it! Very fun issue which focuses on the most underrated member of the Champions, Cyclops!

If only the rest of Marvel Legacy was as good as this was

I liked this issue. It had good art, good character work, and a slow pace. Usually I hate the slow pace but it fits just right here and it I love it

That was.... weird. It wasn’t the worst issue ever published but I feel like this plot idea was just used in Avengers Standoff. Ewing has done a lot of weird stuff in this series like other dimensional skull pirates but now we got intergalactic 1920s space gangster raiders.

Turns out this plot idea wasn’t like Avengers Standoff and something totally original. This was a really entertaining issue and Ewing’s imagination is amazing. I mean he just wrote a comic about shape shifting aliens who like watching a Riverdake rip off who do role play on it. This was by no means the best series but this issue was a highlight of the run

Another fantastic issue. I think Rocafort’s work fits this series better than Foreman’s. Vol 1 is still better in my opinion but still a tremendous read

One of the best parts of Ewing’s Ultimates run, and most of his comics in general, is his immense respect for continuity. Great job Al 👍🏼

Not a fan of the Troubleshooters but I love the idea of Logos

Pretty meh issue but still a great arc overall

Excited for the last 4 issues but anyone else notice the Ultimates are basically the Illuminati?

Surprisingly great issue when the Ultimates take a backseat and this series’ breakout character, Galactus, takes center stage

Ewing’s cosmic saga is finally heading towards its conclusion and guess what? THE ORIGINAL ULTIMATES ARE BACK. I just hope the end up getting killed off again because they had a proper ending

I wasn’t a fan of Ewing’s Mighty Avengers. Ewing’s Captain America and the Mighty Avengers wasn’t for me. I didn’t like Ewing’s New Avengers. U.S.Avengers by Al Ewing sucked. I couldn’t even finish Ewing’s Royals and Loki: Agent of Asgard. So my expectations weren’t very high when Al Ewing started his Ultimates run but wow he knocked it out of the park. It was totally different than the rest of his comics. Ultimates and Ultimates 2 are like a mixture of Jim Starlin and Jonathan Hickman stories. By no means, though, was these two series as good as Hickman’s or Starlin’s work but it was still fantastic nonetheless. Al Ewing’s respect for continuity was always my favorite quality about him, and I always looked forward to his additional reading section in the letters page after every issue. I loved the 100th of New Ultimates vs Old Ultimates and my main complaint was that the original Ultimates are alive again. After failing to write the Maker in hos New Avengers run, Ewing tries again in this series when Maker teams up with the High Evolutionary and it was a major success. I loved Galactus’ journey throughout the whole run and I’m interested to see where he goes next

Nothing special and I prefer Gerry Duggan but I want to see Hank and Simon next issue so Zub has held my interest

My only real complaint is that I feel like Ken Rocafort was a much better artist than this guy, but this guy isn’t horrible. That and the Blue Marvel Spectrum relationship. Blue Marvel has been confirmed to be 87 years old, and he could be 88 by now. Monica Rambeau (Spectrum’s real name) can’t be older than 40, and I would probably guess she is 33-38 age range, so Blue Marvel is 50 YEARS OLDER than her. I know Al Ewing is a huge Blue Marvel fan but seriously dude, this is just creepy

Another great issue and easily the best Avengers book now: including Champions, Avengers, Ultimates, USAvengers, and Occupy Avengers. Pepe Larraz is doing a great job

I love this series so much and Duggan is almost doing as job as a job as Rick Remender did when he wrote the first 2 Uncanny Avengers series

Wow. If you’d tell me that Rogue and Deadpool were gonna make out I would’ve said that’s a bad idea I don’t care who the author is, but here we are, Wade and Rogue made out, and I am a fan of it. Duggan wrote it so fell and really worked with his characters to get to this point so we had plenty of romantic tension in previous issues. And the last page with Wonder Man May have been the funniest joke this book has pulled so far

A perfect and satisfying way for Duggan to end his run. Amazing

A self contained issue, which is a good thing. I don’t like Noto’s art and I just feel like Nadia is a generic character but nothing extremely bad about this issue

After all the build up in the .1 issues this is what we get? I would’ve thought Avenger X would’ve been a major 4-6 issue arc and instead it’s one. Probably because of Secret Empire. Events are fine but I really hate tie-ins they throw everything off

For the first time, I genuinely enjoyed an issue of this series

These last two issues have been great and I fully understand why everyone lives this comic

Waid’s tremendous character writing is starting to come through and I love the Miles/Nova/Kamala trio. Viv is great and Chulk is less annoying, I even understood and liked him when he interacted with Scott and Viv.

Nothing special and this issue is probably skippable for the long run unless Red Locust joins the team or something

Don’t really know how I feel about this crossover so far. It definitely has potential but I think Journey Into Mystery and Mighty Thor need new artists because I don’t like Doug Braithwaite or this guy at all

I like the Disir but this is just meh

Gillen’s fantastic writing of Loki carries this lackluster crossover with New Mutants. Tbh it was unnecessary to make this a crossover. Think about it why are the New Mutants even there? From what I can tell the only reason they are there is because Sigurd lives across the street. I know they had to wake up the Asgardians but still felt really unnecessary and the only New Mutant who actually does anything is Dani

Mediocre issue and totally unnecessary crossover but I like the D-I-S-I-R (see what I did there?) and it can be entertaining at times

Satisfying issue because the crossover is over but it had its moments

Solid start but all my favorites from New Avengers are gone like White Tiger, Victor Alvarez, Hulkling, and Wiccan. Sunspot and Cannonball are great, but Squirrel Girl really doesn’t work in team books and I couldn’t care less about Toni Ho, General Maverick, and Pod.

Entertaining issue and I kinda like Golden Skull as a Joker-like villain for this series. Hopefully Ewing writes him better than the Maker because that was a disaster

This opening arc wasn’t dragged out, had plenty of action, and was overall pretty good. Impressed so far and I hope USAvengers can keep this up

Just like what happened in Champions, Secret Empire stops something good right before it was just about to become something great. This was obviously a filler issue and while I appreciate the humor it really didn’t work and it was obviously just filler before Secret empire.

Fantastic start to Duggan’s farewell arc. I couldn’t find anything wrong with this issue. Read it. It’s great. This series has come so far since the 1st 4 issues

Another home run issue for Duggan as Red Skull breaks the Unity Squad

This was hard to finish. I will not be returning

I love the flashback issue (Waid’s specialty, see JLA: Year One). This has always been one of my favorite rosters of Avengers and it’s good to see them back together in their early days. Stan would be proud

Easily better than the Kang story that is going on right now. This storyline will probably be even more important than Kangaroo war down the line as well

Improving one the first two issues but still a long way away in terms of art and story

Comics should try to become more and more like comics from the 60s because Waid and Kitson are showing us that was when the best comics were around. I love these .1 issues more than any other current series outside Mighty Thor

I’m starting to like this series more and more and Del Mundo’s art isn’t as terrible. Fantastic covers also

Any Silver Age fan will get taken back to the best age of comics with these amazing .1 issues. They are the only reason I’m reading this series because the Kang War story isn’t that good

Waid’s Avengers has finally found its groove and I can’t wait for next issue. Best issue yet right here

Can’t wait to see where Waid goes with this

This series has definitely improved a lot and though it is definitely far from perfect it is a good read and the art has improved

When new is all the rage, classic is making a comeback in GLA. It’s funny, nice to look at, and takes you back to a much simpler day

I love the humor Gorman brings to this comic and the title as a whole. This could be developed into a great marvel comedy or sitcom that could really be great

I really don’t see a real plot other than GLA getting back together but we don’t need one because Great Lakes Avengers is funny, nice to look at, and it has great character writing.

This issue suffered without Robson’s amazing art but the humor and character writing form Gorman is there. These characters are growing on me

A slow paced issue but I’m glad Robson is back

I never really cared about Good Boy but the other characters I love. We finally get a villain after Nain Rouge left with Dr Nod so that was good but this is a really underrated series

It felt a bit rushed and I wished their was just one more issue so we could get a long goodbye for these characters. Gorman’s GLA taught me to love Flatman, Doorman, Big Berda, Mr Immortal, Connie, Amy, and even Pansey the intern/secretary. I had never read a Great Lakes Avengers comic before and now I love them. These seven issues have inspired me to read Slott’s GLA and I hope everybody gives this series a shot

Another stellar issue and I love Rockafort’s art

I wasn’t convinced after the first two issues but these last three have been amazing and it looks like Ewing is crafting a story like Hickman did years earlier

A good issue but I really missed Rocafort and drawing Molecule Man would have been perfect for him. A great comic to read after Secret Wars

I’m not excited for Civil War II but I did love this issue and it’s potentially the best issue yet

Awful stuff. Proving that Civil War II can ruin the best of Comics

I loved All-New All-Different Avengers so I had similar expectations for Waid’s Avengers. Though Waid again writes Sam Wilson spectacularly, the loss of Ms Marvel, Nova, and Miles to fellow superteam the Champions has taken a toll on the series. They were probably the best part of ANAD Avengers. Spider Man joining the team never hurts but I’m not a fan of Hercules. In ANAD Avengers, Kubert and Asrar delivered some of the best art in recent memory, but I hate Del Mundo’s art with a passion, especially when he draws Kang. I feel like Nadia Pym is a pretty generic character but she has potential. I really hope this first issue is just a fluke

I don’t know who the colorist is but they do a great job with Del Mundo’s awful and confusing art. I mean if time travel wasn’t confusing enough we get Del Mundo’s art and it makes it half as understandable as it already was. The story is decent, the art sucks, and the character writing is a huge step down from ANAD Avengers

Art was great and I love the Ms Marvel/Spider-Man/Nova trio and Waid writes them perfectly. The team didn’t assemble as fluidly as I’d like and I found Hulk particularly annoying. I didn’t love the story at all and judging by the summary and othe r reviews I expected a lot more

Definitely an improvement over last issue. Waid took his time in introducing Cyclops, and I liked that. Amadeus Chulk was still super annoying but I love how Waid took the risk of bringing Viv to the team. The team dynamic was their and there were no antagonists in this issue at all

It feels really forced how Champions deals with these “real world problems”. Other than that more of the same: good art, annoying Chulk, and decent character work with a boring plot

Man did that feel forced. Everything bad about the first three issues had just been amplified to extreme levels here but I love how the women stand up for the terrosists

Champions’ dry streak continues. I’m starting to lose interest in what started out as an intriguing title. Some people like this judging by the reviews so if you really want to l, go for it but read with caution

Al Ewing fails to mesh everything together but this run still packs action and laughs into every issue. Though it says Civil War II at the top, this issue really doesn't have much for the event itself. If you came here for Civil War II and havent been reading this series from the start, skip this issue.

Not as exciting and I would have thought Marvel would have a better idea of what to do with the Maker in 616 than what we have been seeing here. Ewing's character writing is definitely doing better then earlier in the series though

This issue has waaaayyyyy to many twists and turns. Can't believe I just said that

If we judged books by their covers, New Avengers 17 would be a 10. No seriously, that cover is beautiful. Well, maybe a 9.5 because of the ugly Civil War II logo at the top. But we don't judge on covers and we judge on the story so that's a shame

After Hickman's grand Avengers epic, the breakout character by far of the whole run was Sunspot. Hickman wrote him fantastically. Ewing, however, took away all Sunspot's personality and turned him into a very annoying Tony Stark. That's my main complaint with this book and other than the first 2 issues nothing is inherently terrible and their actually some really great issues but this series is really nothing special, even with the Maker.

I just wasn't feeling it with the first two issues but issue 3 was great and I now love this series. Fantastic writing by Ewing.

Love how Gerry Duggan respects and even takes advantage of Marvel continuity, with the return of Hank Pym coming this issue. Pym was bonded with Ultron and thrown into space in Avengers: Rage of Ultron. The 1st four issues sucked but this series continues to surprise me

Uncanny Avengers now has my full confidence after another stellar installment

Really liking this storyline and the series as a whole.

My main complaint is that I was hoping the ending would be more satisfying. Instead, it just sets Ultron back up for yet another return

Though the Cable and Cap parts of this issue were good, the real fun was Deadpool breaking into a prison to break out Hawkeye. It was funny, action-packed, beautifully drawn, and connected to Civil War II not to much and not too little. Amazing

Seems way too dark for this series even for Civil War II. I'm not a fan of Cable or Doctor Voodoo, but it looks like they will be taking center stage for the near future.

The team finally broke away from Steve and I couldn't be happier

I don’t know what to think. This issue can definitely set up something great, but this issue itself was pretty bad, especially the beginning. This book does have tons of potential though and I’m wondering what happened to the Maker.

Interesting that both stories this issue are just two characters sitting around playing cards. I liked the Gambit and Thing story by Mike Costa just a little bit more than I liked the Captain Marvel and Wolverine story by Peter David. Definitely better Comics out there but a kid series of your trying to get a kid into comics or if your trying to get into marvel yourself

The art in the second story is awful, and the first story is the only one worth reading.

My only real complaint is I hate how Mark Waid writes Jarvis. Yes, that’s the butler. He deserves so much better you know. Anyway, I like this new Wasp and I’m intrigued with what Waid is doing so far

I actually really liked this issue. Asrar’a art for the space and other planet parts wasn’t that good but there was a lot more action. Best Avengers book around

Another fantastic issue by Waid and Asrar. Waid’s writing reminds me of the golden avenger years with Roy Thomas and Steve Englehart and Roger Stern, among others

Could’ve been worse but I wish they found a different, more entertaining way to save Miles

The narrating sucked and this really shouldn’t have been marked as a Covil War II tie in. I was very confused by the last page and a little sad as well but any issue with Kang is a read

I like Nadia but a really don’t see a reason for this issue

This series should’ve ended with issue 12 because these last three issues have been a real step down

I’m no Deadpool fan but this is one of the funniest comics I’ve ever read, even funnier than Nextwave

I really like this series and I don’t understand the hate

Another great issue but this time as a part of a not so great crossover. The prelude and alpha issues were really good for Avengers Standoff but instead of tie-ins, this story would have worked really well as a OGN or limited series. It’s a good story but Marvel didn’t execute it well. This issue itself is great though

Easily the weakest issue of the series and the Standoff event. This issue was pure poorly drawn action and not a lot of dialogue in the slightest. It’s not as much action as it is needless and confusing chaos. At times, I can’t help but root for Zemo and his gang for what SHIELD did to them. I don’t know if that’s the point or not but this was a really poor issue

The ending was definitely not as strong as the start. Instead of finishing the actual story, Avengers: Standoff is used as a launch point for a Thunderbolts series by a no name writer. Seriously, nothing is resolved and their almost no lasting ramifications besides Maria Hill being fired. The only reason this gets a slightly good review is because it was entertaining most of the time

I didn’t know what I was missing until I picked up this issue due to its Standoff tie in status. Easily the best tie in so far next to New Avengers and really celebrates the Cap big 3: Steve, Bucky, and Sam. Oh yeah, it wouldn’t be complete without Red Skull and Zemo too. All that and it somehow connects and makes sense within Avengers: Standoff. Nick Spencer is quickly becoming one of my favorite writers

A lot more so paced. This feels much more like a tie-in and it does its job but not anything special but a must read if your reading Standoff and/or Captain America

Not worth 4 bucks and 30 minutes of your time. Completely unnecessary in understanding Standoff as a whole. The only enjoyable character is Titania and Thunderball. The art is unique but doesn’t fit the town. The Hood is annoying. Really nothing special. Unless you really loved the first 5 issues and understand and enjoy Avengers: Standoff, don’t read this issue

Really really sloppy finish. If Williamson has just one more issue to finish things up, it would’ve felt so much less rushed and it would’ve been a lot better. Illuminati as a series had a lot of potential but it fizzled out at the end of issue 5. Not worth your time or money. If you are looking for a good heist comic, read Identity Disc, Thunderbolts, Superior Foes of Spider Man, and Infinity: Heist

It looks like Standoff has brought the best out of this book. I really enjoyed this and hopefully the next couple issues will be good before Civil War II comes around

A fun and unique issue that isn’t perfect, but it’s a huge improvement on the first 6 issues. Ewing writes his characters really well now and any panel with White Tiger and Power Man is awesome

These Standoff issues for New Avengers have been pure joy, and are easily the best Standoff tie-ins, even though they don’t have too much to do with the Standoff event itself. Props to Al Ewing for saving this comic

This series has improved in bounds after the first 4 issues and it is smartly written crossing into Standoff with All-New All-Different Avengers. I wasn’t happy Stegman is back but he has improved greatly. This roster is fascinating

Nothing special but could’ve been worse. One could describe Avengers: Standoff as whole like that too

Wow. This was really really weird. The whole issue was entertaining, even though I didn’t really like Mark Bagley’s art. Everything was great except the last page. I thought the two people were Bucky and Tony but they are actually Zemo and Fixer. Interesting and weird issue, but again, that last page is not well written

I actually liked this issue better than the Welcome To Pleasant Hill prelude issue. We don’t get to see a lot of characters in this issue and that’s good because it doesn’t feel crowded. This issue has me excited for the rest of the event and I can’t wait for Uncanny Avengers 7

Crystal’s art was great, but it does not fit the tone at all. I live a good heist book and this first issue doesn’t disappoint

Entertaining second issue and Crystal’s art is starting to grow on me. I like how Williamson portrays these characters, except for Hood. It feels weird not having Bendis write Hood.

I love a good heist comic and this has been good so far, but Identity Disc is still my favorite heist comic

Titania has been my favorite character of this new series and I really like the art now. Best issue yet

I was hoping for a happy ending before Standoff but that doesn’t look like it’s happening. I liked the first 4 issues but this left a bad taste in my mouth. I miss crystal

I didn’t read the Secret Wars A-Force series so I didn’t know how much I’d like this, but I was proved wrong. I already like Singularity as a character. I thought Wilson was going to force-assemble the team, but so far she’s letting the team come together by itself and I love it! Outside of Adam Kubert on All-New All-Different Avengers and Russell Dauterman on Mighty Thor, A-Force may have the best art in all of Marvel

This series continues of a strong first issue and I love it, especially She Hulk

A dip in quality from last issue but still great nonetheless. Glad Marvel decided to bring this series back after Secret Wars.

I really hope they explain how Dazzler survived but a great end to the opening arc. The team came together fluidly and it didn’t feel forced. I like Singularity and I hope to see more of her in the future. Unfortunately it looks like Antimatter survived as well. He was good as an antagonist for one arc but I hope he doesn’t return for that long because he will get old

The Avengers jumping on points are well written and entertaining, and my only complaint is everything with the Squadron Supreme is unnecessary. Even more so because it turned out to be a terrible comic

This was incredible. The art is flawless, and I was entertained and intrigued each and every page. Mark Waid does not forcefully assemble his roster and lets them assemble fluidly. The back-up story between Ms Marvel and Nova is even better than the actual story, and Waid seems to understand his team perfectly. The future is bright and I just don’t see why everyone is giving this issue hate

Issue 2 does not disappoint. I love Waid’s respect for continuity with bringing in Warbringer from Nova. He writes the young the heroes (Miles, Nova, and Kamala) perfectly and I’m excited to see where this emotionless Vision stuff goes

What a great way for Mark Waid and Adam Kubert to end their opening arc. Instead of the usual 5 or 6 issue opening arcs that are all the rage these days, Waid sets a fast and fun pace with a 3 issue opening arc. The story wasn’t draghed out at all and kept me wanting. I can’t wait to see more of this team and definitely the best of the new Avengers line of titles

This is what every other team comic should strive for. Waid’s All-New All-Different Avengers has great art, an intriguing roster, great character writing, great plot writing, romance, and humor. Basically, it’s nonstop entertainment. The understanding and care Mark Waid puts into Nova and Ms Mvelel is outstanding. I had my doubts coming into this issue without Kubert but Masrar does just as well. And Ross covers are breathtaking as well. I can’t believe the hate from the other reviewers because this is the best Avengers book right now. Here are the rankings: 1 This. 2 Uncanny Avengers. 3 A-Fiorce. 4 Ultimates. 5 New Avengers.

Another home run issue by Waid and Masrar that reveals Kang as the main villain for the first arc! Well technically it’s not Kang because Kang and Gryphon were split in a time glitch. I know, time travel. Just think Savitar and Barry for all you CW fans. I enjoy the heck out of this series and I love the character writing so much. It’s a shame this series only lasts 15 issues and 3 of them are wasted during Civil War II. This is a must read and the best team book Marvel publishes right now

This series really takes me back to the Avengers’ heyday in the 60s, 70s, and 80s where stories with this much depth and character writing and humor were published every Wednesday. Ignore the comments that say this sucks because it really doesn’t. At least give it a try you won’t regret it. It’s really amazing what Waid has done with Iron Man, Vision, a black Captain America, a female Thor, a black Spider Man from another universe, the second Ms Marvel who happens to be Muslim, and the second Nova.

As much as I want to like this opening issue, I just can’t. The art work is awful, especially on Sunspot. Sunspot was arguably the biggest breakout character of Jonathan Hickman’s entire run and I was excited to see him leading a squad of Avengers. Although I do believe Al Ewing is a good writer, I’m not a fan of his team writing. Mighty Avengers was solid, but it couldn’t really do anything when it wasn’t tieing into Infinity or Original Sin. Captain America and the Mighty Avengers wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either and it’s not worth a read. Royals and Loki, Agent of Asgard were fantastic so I was hoping to see that Al Ewing here, but we don’t. We get no character development whatsoever and it just seems like this team was clobbered together of random characters. The villain is bland and doesn’t feel like a real threat. I hope in future issues this comic gets to stretch itself out and focus on the roster, because it really is an interesting roster. And why is Squirrel Girl here you ask? Well, she doesn’t really do anything so she’s probably here to get people to buy this comic. I’d still buy issue 2 because it’s a little to early to quit but don’t expect much

The Maker makes this book a lot more interesting but it can’t solve everything. The art continues to be awful and every scene with Bobby is unbearable because of it. I like what Ewing is doing with White Tiger and Power Man, as he’s had experience with them in Mighty Avengers and Captain America and the Mighty Avengers. I just feel like this comic has so much potential that we’re not getting but hey they all can’t be Hickman quality. Hopefully we get better characterization in the future

The solicit for this issue actually makes it seem good: the New Avengers are under attack from the mysterious Knights of the Infinite and it’s about to launch an awesome space adventure. And there is a traitor on the team and Songbird just found well. Well in reality, there is no awesome space adventure and Ewing gives us a way worse version of Young Avengers 7-12 from 2005. Also, the traitor thing is a joke as Clint is a spy from SHIELD but Bobby knows and it doesn’t matter. All this in some hard to look at art that would make Medusa look pretty and Rob Liefield look like Picasso. Ok maybe that’s a stretch but the point is the art sucks

I could not care about Moridun any less. Or the Knights of the Infinite. This series should be a warning to other team books: just because you have an interesting roster doesn’t mean you don’t have to have good character and plot development. Bobby seems like a whole different character with sewing than with Hickman and I hate how he just stands on the sidelines. Squirrel Girl is literally there for no reason. Honestly, the only reason I keep coming back is for the Maker. And Pod. I like Pod

After last issue I thought we were done with Moridun for good but I guess he’s back and his new name is Deringue or something. Also we get the Next Avengers, and any story with the Next Avengers sucks. The last thing we needed was even more characters. The art is bad and there isn’t any character development at all outside of Hulkling. All the Maker does is sit and watch and it has gotten old. Hopefully the upcoming Avengers: Standoff tie-ins will give this series new life (and a new artist)

Another boring issue but at least they don’t waste too much of my time because they are very quick to read. I once considered Al Ewing as one of my favorites and the only reason he still is is because of the Ultimates series he is writing

Al Ewing heads to his comfort zone in this issue, and that’s the good thing. The Maker finally does something besides sitting and watching and the issue centers on Whote Tiger and Power Man, who Ewing his written in the past. The new artist is great and maybe Standoff will give this series new life

Actually a really present surprise. I wasn’t blown away like some of the other reviewrs but a liked it. The art itself was great but the format was confusing and tried to fit too much on one page, so that’s my main complaint. I hope Ewing does some character writing in this series because it has some serious potential. I live the sea of an Ultimates and Galactus team-up. Not extraordinary but I’m definitely coming back for issue 2

I was a bit confused by all the technobabble, and I think Jonathan Hickman should be the only writer allowed to do technobabble. These opening issues still have me excited for the rest of the series though

Turned out to be a lot better than I thought. Adding the Inhumans is a great of if adding new things to a used idea. My dream came true and I saw the cover with Spidey, Deadpool, and the Human Torch all on the same team. Duggan’s opening issue doesn’t get into serious action until the end and is ripe with great character writing

The last issue intrigued me but this issue is a decrease in quality. I don’t care about the main threat and the appearance of Canle and all the time travel makes one thing clear: Gerry Duggan is slowing transforming Uncanny Avengers into another Deadpool-centered book, and the rest of the team are just supporting characters. Not a fan of Stegman again

The humor is nice and so is the roster. Duggan makes a solid attempt at character development but the plot seems bland. After this issue only 2 things stuck with me: Who’s this Synapse gal and where did Reed and Sue go after Secret Wars?

My main problem is why so much Deadpool? And with Canle joining the team it just seems like a continuation of Duggan and Posehn’s Deadpool run

WOW. The addition of Carlos Oacheco, the artist behind Avengers Forever, really made all the difference for this series. I was getting ready to put Uncanny Avengers along side New Avengers as my least favorite Avengers series until we got this issue. Duggan writes makes this comic so funny, especially with Deadpool. Duggan also does a great job with writing Rogue and I can’t wait to see what Red Skull and Sin are up too. Splitting the team up and focusing on a couple of characters really helped this issue and the art is flawless

The Synapse part of the issue was great and I’m glad we got to know her better. Deadpool and Quicksilver’s little adventure at the Avengers Hotel was funny, but unnecessary. Looks like Gerry Duggan is planning something big with Red Skull and Sin though. Pacheco was excellent again

I really don’t know how I feel about this prologue issue. There’s nothing wrong with it, but it’s just not particularly interesting either. Most of the issue takes place during a flashback, and the art was mediocre. Zemo was great, but we don’t even see him in Fear Itself. Unnecessary to the whole of Fear Itself and since Fear Itself sucks you probably should just skip this issue

Not only has Mighty Thor succeeded in weaving one, long story, it has also kept me consistently entertained. The League of the Realms was one of my favorite parts of a story arc I didn’t like (Thor: god of Thunder 13-18) although the absence of Dauterman for the art does hold this issue back

When Loki is involved and Jason Aaron is writing, it’s definitely going to be a good issue

I came into this new arc excited just by its name: Asgard/Shi’ar war. Now does that sound like some crazy awesome Asgardian cosmic space epic or what? It’s only the first issue of this arc so not much happens but we’ll see what this series can do when Malekith and his war aren’t the main antagonist for Thor

This is definitely not what I was expecting. Instead of Asgard vs the Shi’ar empire it looks like this story will about Thor vs Sharra and K’ythri. Still interesting but I feel like we could have gotten so much more

Hard to give this issue a bad score when Jane is written perfectly and the art is amazing, but not as good storytelling as I’m used to with this series

Not a fan of Quentin Quire and his appearance felt very forced. This story arc has been dragged out way too long and could’ve easily been finished in 3-4 issues. The arrival of the Phoenix is also totally unnecessary

Only Jason Aaron would even think of bringing back the Mangog, and he did just that

Volstagg has always been an underrated character, and even though I liked him out of the spotlight, his new title as War Thor fits him well

The War Thor saga continues from Thors 1-5 and Unworthy Thor 1-5 and it does not disappoint

Fantastic continuation from last issue. Don’t know how Volstagg loses all that weight when he picks up his hammer though😭

If you would’ve told me that Thor would’ve become unworthy and a cancer ridden Jane Foster would’ve become the new Thor and stared in her own series, I would’ve said you were crazy. If you told me that I would be reading that series, I would’ve said you were even crazier. If you told me that I loved that series so much that I would be saying it’s the best Thor run since Walt, I would’ve said your the craziest person alive.

What could have been a true great issue like Thor 600 was gets held back by inconsistent art and the hip hopping between stories

Looks like this is going to be Aaron’s best story arc since godbomb. The Mangog looks silly but Aaron writes him so well and intimidating that it makes up for it

Glad Russell is back and it looks like everything will start to culminate in 703

Wow just wow. Stan Lee would be proud of this Mangog story

Not much can be said about this series that I haven’t said over and over again so please read it

No words

Now that’s what I call a satisfying conclusion

Though the age of Jane Foster is over Jason Aaron is not done with Thor. I can’t wait for the War of the Realms to begin

I just wish Bennett could have written this issue in chronological issue instead of bouncing back in forth through time zones. It is really confusing. I thought Angela saving Sera would take all 7 issues but I guess it’ll only take half of one issue. The art was ok but not on par with Angela, Asgard’s Assassin, which came before this comic. Even though I do not support the LGBTQ community and do not think it is right to be Lesbian, gay, or transgender, its kinda of satisfying that Marvel finally delivered on Angela and Sera’s relationship after the lesbian undertones that Kieron Agilent set in Asgard’s Assassin. Honestly the only reason Maurgerite Bennett is writing this series and not Gillen is to write about the Angela and Sera relationship. Again, I don not support lesbians and do not think what they are doing is right but that’s not gonna stop comic companies from writing g about them. It’s not like I don’t acknowledge them or something. Also a good job bun marvel by writing its Lesbian characters as actual lesbians. Bobby Drake is gay apparently, even though he never showed any signs of it for his first 60 years of existence. Gambit was supposed to come out as gay, which would’ve been the complete opposite of his character. Julie Power and Karolina from the Runaways are Lesbians but I don’t know how they were written before. Striker from Avengers Academy came out to Julie and honestly, it was pretty well written. Having gay characters is fine, because in the real world they do exist, but no need to change an entire characters history to please 3% of buyers

This issue was a real turn off to me. I don’t understand all the positive reviews. The way Bennett tells the story not in order is very confusing. Like, why is Angela fighting these trials anyway? The only reason I’ll be back for issue 3 is the last page reveal of the return of Leah from Gillen’s Journey Into Mystery!

Though I much prefer the wise, calm, and collective Odin from the MCU, this issue, and probably next, show that in the Comics, Odin is a villain. It’s good to see Frejya taking a stand for herself without it feeling forced feminism in Comics. Props to Jason Aaron on that

Though the Asgardian Civil War didn’t quite pan out like I thought it would, Jason Aaron delivers a satisfying conclusion to his first story arc on Mighty Thor. We get more War of the Realms build up that has been playing out for a long time now

Loki’s dialogue and whole depiction really are extremely entertaining and spot on by Aaron. I don’t really care about Bodolf at all but the Loki narrating is nice. The art is also confusing in the flashback sequences

It was boring. The art sucked. This story has no consequences at all on the present. The art sucked. This storyline could have been one issue instead of two. The Jane Foster Thor or the present day unworthy Ofinson don’t even appear. Oh, did I mention the art sucked?

Jason Aaron really knows how to stretch out a story, as this story has arguably been going on since Thor: god of Thunder 12. Jason Aaron also knows how to write his villains. His corporate antagonists are spot on, and I never thought I could take corporate antagonists seriously against Thor. Good to see Dauterman retiring after a 2 issue break

Although it’s ainly an opus that the Agger Imperative is just a reason for Jane and Roz to save Dario and to keep him revenant, Mighty Thor 9 still rocks. I never thought I would enjoy Jane as Thor so much, and Roz Solomon grows on me more and more as she appears. Russell Dauterman also delivers another perfect issue. My only big complaint is Aaron’s depiction of Silver Samurai. He’s like an annoying Spider Man villain from the 70s. Surprising, because Aaron wrote Silver Samurai perfectly on his Wolverine run, but it’s not a big deal so I’m not gonna complain

Aaron’s epic continues with arbor set to fight against SHIELD! I must say i love the occasyscene were we peak into Jane Foster’s tragic life and not Thor’s

So I thought Jane was actually Loki in disguise but I guess it’s Mjiornir. Sets up Mjiornir’s origin for next issue

An intriguing idea but some stories are just left better untold. Like Yoda, for instance. A Yoda origin movie would never work because his origin is always better in people’s minds. Same thing happened twice with Wolverine

This may be Jason Aaron’s best Thor issue since Thor: god of Thunder 11. Its a perfect issue, I just get lost into the comic with Coipel’s art. Coipel and Esad Ribic are officially my two favorite artists. The fact that Unworthy author is a miniseries also benefits this book greatly

Another perfect issue. I don’t know what to say without sounding like a broken record

This book has everything I love: respect for continuity (Ultimate Thor’s hammer from Thors) underused characters (Beta Ray Bill), great villains (Collector, Thanos, Black Swan, Proxima Midnight, Gorr?) and great art (Olivier Coipel of course).

This may be the highlight of Jason Asron’s Thor run, and if you’ve been keeping up with it, that is some pretty high praise

So the finale didn’t exavtly culminate as Thanos never did anything. I was glad that hooded figure turned out to be Hela and not Gorr (I’m all for Thanos and Hela after that kiss). Gore is a better villain dead than alive: for example, he is the reason Thor is unworthy, because Nick Firy whispered “Gorr was right”. Though it wasn’t some big reveal, it is satisfying in the sense that we understand why thor thinks he isn’t worthy. I’m looking forward to seeing who this new Thor is also

The beast and Spider Man short story by Kate Andrews was decent, but what stood out to me was the fantastic art, which Kaare Andrews also did. It’s good to see Spider Man depicted as smart, because he actually is very smart but many writers dumb him down for humor, so props again to Andrews for reminding us that before Peter was Spider Man, he was a huge science nerd. The second story is a team up between Captain America and Quentin Quire by Jason Latour. The art was pretty good but the story was extremely boring and it seemed pointless.

The Iron Fist and Doop team-up was near perfect, and I’ve never even read a Doop comic until now. The Loki and Mister Sinister team-up has high expectations that it didn’t live up to but still a great story nonetheless

Though I was confused at the start, this issue really got better near the end. The art was perfect and I’m very excited for the rest of the series. Gillen is flying up my favorite writers list

We get a lot of flashbacks that show us how we got to present day, and it really cleared up my confusion from last issue. Fabolues issue. My only problem is that this series doesn’t seem to fit alongside Jason Aaron’s Thor run. In Aaron’s stuff, the birth of Aldrif is never mentioned, and Frejya was never pregnant.

It’s good to see the Guardians of the Galaxy and Loki join the series, their additions pump up the stakes

A dip in quality after an enjoyable first three issues. The Guardians just don’t fit in this series

I am not a fan of all this Master of the World stuff but iit serves as an important plot point down the road in the Lang Dynasty

Kurt Busiek is somehow making use from arguably the worst Avengers story ever aside of Avengers: the crossing, the infamous Avengers 200. In Avengers 200, Carol is raped and she gives birth to her rapist, who in the present is the Scarlet Centurion. Centurion and Carol fall in love and somehow it doesn’t feel forced or disgusting or taboo. Really speaks to how good a writer Kurt Busiek is.

Busiek really is a madman because the Kang Dynasty is a hot mess, but it’s a beautiful hot mess. Seriously, though, it’s like the Mona Lisa of hot messes

This silent issue was totally unnecessary, but it made the defeat and surrender of the Avengers all the more powerful

The Triune Understanding has been working in the shadows since about issue 7, and now it seems like everything is culminating in Busiek’s final Avengers epic, the Kang Dynasty

A very powerful issue that I’m a way pays homage to the concentration camps in WW2. Also, Wanda is my favorite character outside of Spidey and Loki, and Busiek writes her perfectly

Not a bad comic plot wise but far from Elektra’s glory days with Frank Miller character wise

At this point I’m more interested in what Elektra is going through as a character than what’s actually happening in Murderworld

This Elektra is so different than she was with Frank Miller and Bendis. Feels like a whole different character

I guess this was a satisfying ending but a pretty disappointing series overall. It’s not as good as Elektra: Assassin or Elektra Lives Again by Frank Miller, but it is an easier and lighter read. It’s also a lighter read than Bendis’ Elektra series, which is around 48 pages per issue and a lot more grittier. If you are interested in reading Elektra I suggest reading the 11-issue 2014 series

Horrible ending. This may be the most rushed comic issue ever. Fang comes out of no where with no explanation with no idea who Fang is and we’re just supposed to assume Fang was behind everything and except it.

I couldn’t have enjoyed this opening issue more. Also, I think the last page may be my favorite last page of any comic ever

I can’t get enough of Jason Aaron’s Mighty Thor. Russell Dauterman’s art is perfect for the series and Aaron writes Loki perfectly. Though I don’t want Jane to be Thor permanently, it is a great change of pace as she sacrifices her life to be Thor because she has breast cancer.

Mighty Thor is the most fun I’ve ever had reading Thor in a long time. Along with Thor: god of Thunder 1-11, Thor 600, and the Stan Lee and Simonson runs, Mighty Thor by Jason Aaron ranks among the greatest Thor series ever, and it’s only three issues in

Love the origin. This cover is so iconic it made it into Modern Family

Wow I did not expect that. Steve McNiven’s art is flawless and fits the book perfectly. It was a smart move to make these issues oversized instead of like 8 issues instead of 4. The action sequences are incredible and Charles Soule understands Logan much better than Paul Cornell did. Needless to say, I can’t wait for next issue

Another amazing issue by Soule and McGiven. Logan is gonna die soon, but for now Death of Wolverine 2 is an awesome celebration of Logan’s life. It was great to see Kitty Pryde again, and yes I would have given this issue a 1 rating if Kitty Pryde actually made out with Logan

 Death Of Wolverine #3 Jan 6, 2019

Though I’m not a fan of how Logan died, Death of Wolverine 4 perfectly sets up many new series while closing the door on an era.

I like the league of the Realms but imagine then being drawn by Esad Ribic😩

It’s a strong script by Aaron but it just needs to be modernized. Thor 1 was really good and Thor 2 sucked but they modernized Asgard for the 21st century, and it was fantastic. Thor: god of Thunder, takes a step back as it features elves, trolls, dwarves, and fairies. It’s a good story but it just feels like an 80s comic book in the Marvel NOW era. It doesn’t help the Aaron writes Malekith awfully as well

“The Accursed” storyline is definitely a step down from the Gorr issues. The League of the Realms is a lot of fun but this storyline could’ve been 4 issues instead of 5.

I like the little War of the Realms foreshadowing their and it just shows how great of a story teller Jason Aaron is. I just can’t get it over how the nine realms need to be modernized

Could to see young Thor again but a very unnecessary issue. Totally skippable.

Thor is a very powerful hero and so he needs very powerful villains. Gorr was one of the most powerful foes any hero has faced and he killed billions in his quest for revenge while Malekith was bland and annoying yet powerful nonetheless. It’s a testament to Jason Aaron’s writing skills that he has somehow set Roxxon up as a major Thor foe. Roxxon still seems outmatched and Aaron seems out of ideas but honestly this is a 7/10 comic. Luckily Esad Ribic’s return gives this issue an extra point and a half

It’s pretty obvious that this comic has dipped in quality since issue 11 but still enjoyable, just not on par with the first 11 issues

Honestly Marvel needs to move on from Broxton. Brockton should have been abandoned after the Siege storyline. I am hoping the present day story will connect with the future story and that Roxxon will become more interesting because the corporation stuff is really bland

Adding Ulik spices things up but every scene with Roz, and the entire present day story really, are not that well written. Esad’s art and the future story keeps me coming back

I loved the future storyline a lot, but the present day storyline felt rushed and boring. Aaron seems fresh out of ideas, as he reused Broxton under Siege

Wow. After a bismal storyline a was last than excited for this epilogue issue, but the plot of Thor’s grand story advances so much in one issue that it gets a 10. Ribic only draws two pages but that’s ok because the other guy was good too. Jane Foster brings an emotional dynamic to every scene that no other love interest to Thor can, and I hope we see more of her in Asgard. Roz is kinda annoying and I don’t like her relationship with Thor but she has potential. She works better as an independent character rather than Thor’s girlfriend. Maybe in a SHIELD or She-Hulk comic. Anyways, Asgard finally decides to leave Earth, which I was really happy about. Thor’s act of heroism when he gave up his castle for the citizens of Broxton was surprisingly touching. It looks like Dario Agger has finally embraced his inner villain, and he seems like a much more interesting character without Roxxon. Live that foreshadowing for War of the Realms by Jason Aaron at the end there with Dario and Ulik. Also the last page with Galactus and the necro Sword is incredible.

I’m starting to really love the girls of Thunder and it looks like Original Sin will rejuvenate Thor stories as we have 3 new directions to go. We have the new female Thor who wields Mjionir, Angela, who is Thor and Loki’s long lost sister, and Odinson, who is now unworthy. I also loved Malekith’s backstory, and I kinda hate him less. Aaron gets me so hyped up for War of the Realms as well

This isn’t the worst comic in the world but it doesn’t feel like I’m reading Wolverine. This series is so different than the Jason Aaron/Cullen Bunn stuff that came before it.

 Wolverine by Claremont & Miller #1 Jan 6, 2019

I gotta say, I love the “continuity doesn’t matter” approach. The first story is fun and interesting, but telling tales of Captain America from WW2 that we didn’t know about until now plot device is used way too often. In the second story, Jeph Loeb only writes Hulk and Wolverine for half an issue and its already obvious he sucks at writing both characters. Overall, this opening issue suffered mostly from Jeph Loeb, but next issue is Chris Bachalo and Peter David so no worries

A huge improvement over last issue. Though Chris Bachalo’s first story with Rogue and Black WIdow had, at times, confusing art, it was a nice and light story. Peter David’s second story was funny and had beautiful art. A cool little team-up/anthology comic in the wake of Avengers vs X-Men.

I’m liking what A+X is doing by giving one story to a superstar writer and the other to an up and coming writer. This issue, superstar Jason Aaron writes the first story about Storm and Black Panther. The art is perfect and it’s pure character development. Seriously though there is literally 3/4 a panel of action in the first story. The second story by up and coming James Asmus is about Hawkeye and Gambit, and how they argue with each other on who gets to save this smokin hot actor from some weird monster.

Wow this comic was bad. A huge decrease of quality since issue one. The characters say Avengers Assemble like 5 times, and it just feels so forced. The Zodiac are revealed to be bland and generic villains. The Ultimate Nullifer is thrown into the play but it just doesn’t work. The art sucks. The part where Steve says that this information stays between the six of them is an obvious and forced attempt by Bendis to keep the book centered around the 6 Avengers from the film. And this may be Mark Bagley at his worst. This and Guardians of the Galaxy are Bendis at his worst as well. I suggest starting at issue 9 when Kelly Sue DeConnick tales over. Marvel NOW has been incredible but this may be its worst title.

The dynamic and interactions between our Thors continue this series hot streak after the first six issues. This arc looks better than the 1st one

Gorr is a villain who is truly menacing yet you can’t help but root for him at time

This is what every Thor comic should be moduled after of

Jason Aaron writes his Thors perfectly as he does Gorr. He puts so much effort in writing Gorr and he’s the best new villain since Scarlet Witch in House of M

The Gorr saga has been awesome and it’s sad to see the best artist around Esad Ribic go, and it’s hard to imagine this series can keep it’s hot streak without Gorr and Ribic but we’ll see

The story was nice and light, which is great. We get old and young Thor still around, which seems kinda pointless to me. The Jane Foster part of the comic is near perfect, but it fails to reach the All-Star Superman quality it was reaching when Thor and Jane are on the moon. My main complaint is the art. The art is absolutely awful, even though replacing Esad Ribic is no easy task. Seriously, Jane Foster looks like Professor X in this

The art has improved but my only complaint is that more than half the issue is about Malekith climbing out of a hole. This comic is meant to “tie-in” in a way to Thor: the Dark World, which is a shame because that movie sucked. Malekith was arguably the worst part of the movie and now he takes center stage in the best Thor comic in years. Ughh. At least the MCU modernized Malekith and the Dark wolves. The dark elves look like a mixture of Smurfs and Avatars while the MCU versions were menacing yet bland. Hopefully the Accusred arc doesn’t last long because it isn’t looking particularly impressive

A slow start. The issue starts off with the Zodiac assembling. They have potential to be a good group of antagonists but it looks like that potential will be wasted. Then we go to Avengers tower were the city is celebrating Stark Tower reopening. I have to admit, Mark Bagley’s drawing of Stark Tower is awesome. Then we visit the Hulk, who is one thenrun from the army again when a water-Zodiac guy steals something from the army. This scene was poorly drawn by Bagley, and at times it was confusing. Then we went to Latveria where we see Clint and Natasha breaking in to a warehouse. Apparently it’s important because they call in Thor and Tony for backup. Another member of the Zodiac who is a Minotaur attack’s Clint and Natasha but Tony and Thor get there in time. The Minotaur knocks out Tony and Thor pretty easily as the issue ends. Not much happens but it’s the first issue so that’s ok, but the art is very bad and not as good as Bagley usually is.

Ever since Kurt Busiek’s Ultron Unlimited, Ultron has been subjected to some horrible storylines. Age of Ultron by Bendis was the most unoriginal comic I’ve ever read and in Mighty Avengers, Ultron was the main antagonist in Dan Slott’s awful run on the book. Ultron Forever was good I guess, but it wasn’t in the same league as the old Busiek and Roy Thomas stuff. Then a Marvel announced its OGN line, and that a title for one would be Rage of Ultron. Here we go again with another horrible Ultron-centered comic. They didn’t even come up with an original title. I read Avengers: Endless Wartime, and it was tremendous. It was a whole story arc but self contained with tremendous art. It was amazing. Today, I read Avengers: Rage of Ultron by Rick Remender. It blew me away. The art was ion par with Endless Wartime and it serves as a worthy conclusion to Remender’s Uncanny Avengers saga. Yes, it’s the best Ultron story since Ultron Unlimited, and it may be better. It’s a 112 pages of glory, and it would’ve worked better if it were more. From Kurt Busiek’s opening intro to Hank Pym and Ultron floating in space on the last page, Avengers: Rage of Ultron is an engaging and exciting read

Loved it! You really don’t need to read a lot of these short stories, Ike the Batman and Detective Chimp one, but this was a really great Holiday Special

In my opinion, Thor: god of Thunder 6 is the best issue yet. It’s a full origin of Gorr and it did not disappoint. My only complaint is what is a ‘god’ in this comic. Because it seems like Gorr is killing everyone with power and calling them ‘gods’

I love a good Christmas comic, and Immomen writes Steve Rogers perfectly. My only problem is that I didn’t care for Shang-Chi’s student kid

Stefano Caselli May be the best comic artist now, outside of John Romita, Esad Ribic, and Steve Epting. Some of the stories are dragging one but this is a back up book so it really doesn’t matter

In Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers and New Avengers comics, Sunspot and Cannonball become very important characters. This issue emphasizes on humor and Bobby and Sam’s friendship. We meet a new version of the Next Avengers, which is kinda stupid because that never works. Fortunately, the Bobby and Sam dynamic carries this issue

The art really sucks without Stefano Caselli and the story is getting over the top

The story is really getting dragged out and getting out of hand Artwork also sucks for the 2nd straight issue

Avengers World was supposed to be an Avengers backup comic that focused on Avengers that didn’t get a lot of panel time in Hickman’s Avengers series. Spencer focuses the series on every Avenger on the roster and divulges into 4 different storylines. The storylines have quickly gotten over the top and the art took a sharp decline after Stefano Caselli left the title. Spencer has recently been introducing us to Chinese and European heroes that are bland and uninteresting and will probably will never be used or seen again.

Learning about China and Europe’s heroes are hopeless and I find it difficult to think Avengers World 14 will conclude all the current storyline b

I’m excited to see what happens with the Next Avengers but I’m glad this storyline has ended. This series was supposed to be all about character writing because Avengers and New Avengers have way too many characters for their own goods. I actually really liked the AIM storyline but the Morgan Le Fay arc was awful, the Madripoor arc was fun but way too unrealistic and over the top, and the attack on DC arc with Captain America, well I don’t think that counts as an arc at all

Highly recommended!

I’ll read anything with Sunspot in it, but Starbrand and Nightmask hold this issue back

Nice, light issue with great character writing

A great bridge in between Time Runs Out and 9 months before

Frank Barbiere impressed me. He impressed me with the New Avengers Annual and he impressed me with Avengers World 17-21. I didn’t read 15-16 because they are Axis tie ins (bleh). I’ll have to check out other Barbiere stuff

It’s not that Mayberry has done a bad job plotting, his plots are great. The problem with Black Panther is the character writing. The characters are just depicted to be so unlike able. Shuri is great in the Black Panther movie but her comic book counterpart is so different. T’Challa is so stuck up and bitchy. Mayberry can’t even write Storm write. Storm is easily one of the best X-Men when Claremont was writing be she is a completely diffirent character in this series. Also the art is awful. Wakanda is always drawn very unappealing and Shuri is drawn so generic. Big boobs, tight costume, round butt

Near-perfect opening issue. The art fits the tone perfectly and Jason Aaron is a genius for telling 3 interconnecting stories at once. My only problem is that their is no Loki, yet(?)

Another fantastic issue though we got way less of old Thor then I thought. The young Thor parts of this comic are more entertaining then the present day stuff, surprisingly

Many creators have written Thor and these days it’s just hard to do anything new with him, yet somehow Jason Aaron has done just that. Aaron’s Thor has an interconnected story in three different points in time. Aaron’s narrating and Esad Ribic’s art give this series a horror theme a Thor book has never experienced before. Highly recommended

Another stellar issue!

Uncanny Avengers 3 is another dip in quality as we should spend more time with the new unity squad itself and less time learning about Counter-Earth

Remender writes the Pietro and Wanda dynamic well and the art is good but everything else sucks

The storyline ended in a high note but I expect more in future issues

Wow I loved this issue much more than I should have. I love these issues that are light, fun, and not much action and a lot of characters. Jason Aaron is really great because this was just a pleasure to read. I almost didn’t want the issue to end

Definitely not for everybody and defynot an original concept but I liked this issue

This is a really good series now everything has changed since that 5.1 issue

Acuna sucked but the stuff in Logan’s head was so entertaining😂

Aaron write action sequences so well. This is some really under appreciated stuff

Really impressed so far this may be the best Wolverine story since Old Man Logan

Aaron and Guedes depict the Red Right Hand so well it’s harc not to get addicted to this book

I don’t have the words to describe how good and unique this series is

It seems like the same issue as before but trust me it is worth it

Wow I did not see that coming. This is the best Wolverine story in years I’m surprised it hasn’t gotten more recognition

Not much happens but honestly we needed this issue because Wolverine 14 was insane

You’ll either hate this book or love it, but I think it is amazing

Gorilla Man is a breath of fresh air for this series and it ends an element of humor it didn’t have before. The fight sequences are superb as usual

Jason Aaron shows his versatility with this spectacular issue

It’s a mess, and I couldn’t be happier

Something big is brewing but I’m sad that Gorilla Man is gone

So much happens there is no time to breath. This is what every anniversary issue should be like

When Logan is in Japan, you know you are in for a treat!

This issue is lots of fun but it’s a little to over the top compared to previous issues

A very satisfying ending but Aaron should have stayed longer 25 issues is too short

Actually a pretty good send off

It’s no Jason Aaron but Bunn is a rising star

The violence and gore is so over the top its kind of disgusting now but still a good storyline

Bendis shows he is at his strongest when his is writing tie-ins

Strong finish

A cool flashback/prologue issue but beware, if you haven’t read all of Uncanny X-Force first, you should probably do that now

Remender executes another near-perfect issue so get ready for the next couple issues, because I think their gonna be a treat!

An outstanding follow up to Uncanny X-Force

If your reading Age of Ultron but not Uncanny Avengers, this issue is not recommended. It will be too confusing. If your just reading Uncanny Avengers and not Age of Ultron, this issue is pretty skippable. If your reading both books, go right ahead and read this issue

Remender knows his team so well and it’s amazing how perfectly well he meshes the world’s of the X-Men and the Avengers

We knew the Horseman were coming, and now they’re here. Grim Reaper has always been useful for writers, just ask Kurt Busiek and Tom King. I’m super happy Remender brought Daken back after Uncanny X-Force and Banshee from Deadly Genesis. Unfortunately Sentry is here too

If you haven’t read a fair amount of Marvel comics, stay away from this comic. Remender plays with your emotions every time Logan and Daken are in a scene together

The pacing is so slow but I love Kang!

Remender is a master when it comes to Wanda Maximoff!

OH SH*T THIS COMIC BLEW MY MIND. I won’t spoil anything but all I’m gonna say is that the cover is not a hoax

Just amazing how Rick Remender can craft a story like this

I can’t believe what I was missing out on with this book. It is a Marvel continuity fan’s dream: Uncanny Avengers takes elements from Uncanny X-Force, Avengers vs X-Men, House of M, Kurt Busiek’s Avengers, Bendis’ Avengers, The Children’s Crusade, and Avengers Forever. Really one of the best comics I’ve and read but unfortunately this outstanding series culminates in one of the worst comic events since Avengers: The Crossing, and that event is Avengers and X-Men: Axis

I have no idea where Remender is going with this, I don’t care a bit

Daniel Acuna sells Planet X as a fresh, colorful World were mutants live in peace without humans and Wasp is the only human left. The X-amen have had A LOT of futuristic or alternative reality stories over the years, but this may be near the top of the list already

It seems like everything that has been building since Uncanny X-Force is paying off now, and I love it!

Sadly we are leaving Planet X but it looks like Remender is going to deliver a satisfying conclusion

Just read it I don’t want to spoil

Not the strongest finish but Kang hasn’t been written this well since Avengers Forever!

It was a filler issue that didn’t really advance the plot except the end. Not a big fan of Larroca’s art here either

I wanted like it, I really did but I couldn’t tell what I was reading was actually happening, on a TV, or in Mojo’s imagination

Though Axis was ridiculously awful, Uncanny Avengers 1 pucks up the ashes, and it’s kind of enjoyable. The team roster leaves tons of potential but too bad it looks like these next 4 issues will be centered around Wanda and Pietro’s true parentage. I’d always loved stories centered around Magneto and his kids and I hate retcons. Wanda and Pietro not being Magneto’s kids is the worst retcon since Peter Parker was a clone and Tony Stark was Kang. On the other hand the art is wonderful, as Daniel Acuna Hits it out of the park with his take on Counter Earth, just like he did with Planet X

The problem with Axis wasn’t the idea. The idea of Axis wasn’t a bad one, the execution was just horrible. I was excited that inverted Sabretooth would be a part of this team but so far, he’s just been, well, kinda pathetic. The art is still amazing but I still can’t get over the idiotic Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver retcon. It looks like the High Evolutionary is going to be Wanda and Pietro’s dad, which is way less interesting than Magneto being there dad. Also when did Brother Voodoo come back? I thought he died in New Avengers by Brian Michael Bendis? I’d much rather Sebastian Druid or Hellstrom on the team than Voodoo. I’m excited to meet Luminous next issue but this series has last a lot of steam since last issue.

 Vision (2015) #2 Dec 31, 2018

A fantastic first arc finishes with Uncanny Avengers 4 and I couldn’t be more impressed. Remender paces his comic amazingly, while John Cassady’s art gives this comic a feel of a true X-Men comic. And those last couple pages BLEW MY MIND. Also I loved the tribute to Days of Future Past with Havok and Rogue

The respect Rick Remender has for continuity is mind blowing. In this issue, Rick clears up loose ends all the way from Kurt Busiek’s Avengers run which happened from 1998-2002. And if you thought Cassaday’s art was good, Coipel’s is even better. It also helps that Wanda Maximoff happens to be on of my favorite characters and that I love the little soap opera elements Rick borrows from Grant Morrison’s New X-Men run

Pure action with not a lot of reason for it for 75% of the issue with the last 25% is after the battle ends and everybody is tired. My favorite parts were at the after party but there were only like 3 pages their

Just read this series, you will not regret it

The twist with Finesse was shocking and I can’t help but just have my mind blown by this comic

A real light comic to read that has no action and all character development. This is why we read Avengers Academy

I’ll Most this comic the most with the coming of Marvel NOW. I hope nobody from AA dies in Avengers Arena

Man is it weird seeing someone other than Brian Michael Bendis write Luke Cage

 Mighty Avengers (2013) #9 Dec 29, 2018

Don’t get me wrong, this is a tremendous issue, but a just have a question. Since Papa Cage’s Avengers assembled in 1972, would that make them the original Avengers? I know we got the 1959 Avengers but in Avengers Forever I believe they get removed from the timeline. As of today, Reed Richards, Ben Grimm, Johnny Storm, and Sue Storm got their powers in 2001 so the Avengers would have assembled in late 2001/2002-ish. So is Papa Cage’s Squad the original Avengers?

Surprisingly, this is a very very strong start to Bendis’ last arc

The art is great and we finally found out what happened to Daniel Drumm after the first arc

Too much magic mumbo jumbo but this story still has momentum so here’s for a strong finish

There was a lot of finality for Luke Cage but other than that this was a little bit of a weak finish

The best issue yet and it’s not even close. This is the Secret Avengers I’ve been waiting for

Thankyou Rick Remender, thankyou

Not Remender at his finest but still a good issue for this series which has struggled in the last

Not the best issue as this arc went downhill but the character writing is great with Flash and Valkyrie hooking up

Not a fan of the Red Hulk narrating buybacks Avengers vs X-Men may be the best event ever, with only House of M competing with it

Literally the same thing as Wolverine and the X-Men 12

It’s a good breather but I want to ship Clint and Jessica, but Bendis just makes it so hard

I though Janet was gonna come back in Dan Slott’s Mighty Avengers, but she didn’t, I thought she was gonna be resurrected in Avengers Academy, but that was Michael Korvac’s wife. Though I’m happy Simon is out for redemption, it is so Bendis to resurrect another character he killed before he moves on to X-Men and Guardians and the Galaxy

Cool idea but not the best arc though

I just need this to end. 8 years was too much

It’s good to see the return infinity Stefano Caselli and the mention of SPEAR. SPEAR was first referenced in Jonathan Hickman’s SHIELD series but I believe this is its first appearance

Not much of the story advances and we mostly get flashbacks but it’s hard not to find this anniversary issue entertaining

A good tie in, not a necessary read for Avengers vs X-Men, but a good tie in

Bendis has had his strengths and weakness since he started writing the Avengers in 2004. Writing about the Illuminati is definitely a strength

I can sense the door is closing in Bendis’ Avenger era with the long overdue quitting of Luke Cage. Bendis has been writing Luke Cage FOREVER (Literally since like 2001) and this seems like a proper goodbye to one of his favorite characters

One of the finest issues I’ve ever read. Rick Remender exceeded my expectations by a lot. The art took my back to Astonishing X-Men while Rick’s writing brings a fresh take to his characters but with great character writing as if he Came straight from the 80s.

A great return for Vision with amazing art. This issue really reminded me of the golden era of Avengers comics: the Roy Thomas, Englehart, and Roger Stern stuff. Avengers 24.1 has ties to Avengers Disassembled and House of M by still being a prelude to Avengers vs X-Men

My only problem with this issue is that theirs too much prelude and not enough event. And Wonder Man was in it so that sucked but great art

Good tie in but basically the same as Secret Avengers 26

Great tie in issue to a great event. Too bad Noh-Varr’s costume sucks😂

This issue is very important down the road for the rest of the series. Gage does a great job writing jeremy Briggs, as he summarizes everything wrong with superheroes right now. To bad it was a plan to trick the Academy kids all along

Way too much talking for my liking though the part where the X-Men students move in is an interesting concept. It was good to see Hercules but again, all he did was talk. AvX has been incredible so far so I kinda expected more but we will see

The stuff with Mettle and the rock girl and the interactions between Finesse and X-23 are great. Fantastic writing by Christos Gage. Too bad the Sebastian Shaw element of the past two issues is completely unnecessary

Avengers Academy 31 is an improvement over issues 30 and 29 even though that this book has so many supporting characters that the core characters aren’t really doing much. Also, I don’t have a clue why Hercules was their at all. What I do know, though, is that I like that naked blue girl, a lot

Issues like these is why we read Avengers Academy. Lots of characterization early on with some action near the end fueled by that character development

Again, great character development and a surprise return by Quicksilver. These next six issues are shaping up to be great!

 Avengers Academy Vol. 1 Complete Collection Dec 27, 2018

Avengers vs X-Men has been very impressive so far and Bendis’ character work is excellent

Bendis is just trying to fix something that just ain’t broke

I’m glad Leonardo Da Vinci has arrived but don’t let him distract you from the fact that this storyline is completely unnecessary

Secret Avengers 26 is one of the best issues of the series but one of the worst Avengers vs X-Men tie ins

Pretty good start but wow what a dip in quality

Though I still believe Rick Remender is saving this series, it was a huge mistake to bring Captain Marvel back. First of all, I don’t even know how he came back. They showed it in issue 26 but it made no sense to me. Also, is it just me or does issues 26-28 seriously contradict to what happens in Avengers 26-27? Usually I hate when Captain Marvel is “brought back” but this time around it wasn’t that bad

Wasn’t particularly interesting but it’s Infinity so it was still decent
7.0
 Secret Avengers (2013) #11 Dec 27, 2018

This book is way too crowded but the excellent character work by Gage is still there

I love the whole future thing with old Hank Pym but there are way to much characters and I just want Veil’s Academy to rejoin Avengers Academy

I’ve wanted the Runways to make an appearance from the start, it Avengers Academy 27 did not disappoint

The fact that the Avengers Academy and Runaways conflict didn’t end in a huge fight shows just how different Avengers Academy is from its sister titles

It was a good one and done issue but it felt very rushed at the end and I think it would have worked better as a two issue story. But at least Warren Ellis makes Secret Avengers feel like a secret Avengers team now

Very forgettable one and done issue. Like last issue, poor art

Without David Aja, this issue fails. The setting is a space station and most of Secret Avengers 18 is full of Kung Fu sequences. Aja makes every gravity-less Kung Fu fight eye candy

After David Aja’s stellar issue, Secret Avengers 19 is drawn by Ed Brubaker’s partner from Daredevil Michael Lark. Lark’s work isn’t as amazing as Aja’s but it is an improvement over issues 16 and 17. The story isn’t as memorable but it’s a one and done so it doesn’t have to be.

Writers tend to struggle when it tends to writing time travel, and Warren Ellis is no exception. Alex Malevolence art takes me back to his Daredevil days, and Secret Avengers 20 is a very exciting issue, but still confusing nonetheless

It’s good to see the team all together in one issue again (except for Ant Man, don’t know where he is), since we haven’t had that since issue 10 I believe. The art is fantastic as usual, but, and it has been like this Ellis’ whole run, the story just felt rushed. All of Ellis’ run has been one and dones, and the second half of the issue wraps up so quick that you don’t even know what’s going on

It’s good to see that Rick Remender understands that this series was too focused on Captain America, because it looks like this is his last issue as a member of the Secret Avengers. The story takes place in a country called Balania, which is basically Madripoor. The team is trying to find a drug Lord, so Natasha, Sharon, and Moon Knight infiltrate a party. The Steve and Hawkeye find the drug lord and it turns out he’s an LMD so he self destructs. This issue also introduces the new Masters of Evil, composed of Ghost Rider, Princess Python, and Whiplash, with Max Fury and the Shadow Council rubbing it! The reason Steve takes Clint on this mission is because Steve is planning on moving on from the Secret Avengers, and he is considering letting Clint take over. After Clint saves Steve from Max and the Masters of Evil, Steve names Clint the new leader of the team. I was unimpressed but Ed Brubaker’s and Warren Ellis’ runs on this book, and they are some of the best writers ever. Rick Remender’s debut sets the stage for a fantastic run

Ed Brubaker failed at writing Secret Avengers. Nick Spencer failed at writing Secret Avengers. Warren Ellis failed at writing Secret Avengers. Somehow, Rick Remender is doing better than all three. I love the new team and Captain Britain, but hopefully next issue will help me understand that last page

Having Venom was great and the Descendants are written perfectly by Remender. More outstanding art as well

Still pretty good but this arc would’ve been better three issues instead of 4

Wow this issue is worth your four bucks. Hopefully Remender can keep this up after Avengers vs X-Men

After Allan Heinberg finished up Avengers: Children’s Crusade, I thought that was it for the Young Avengers, and it kinda was, well for that incarnation anyway. I’m not convinced on the villain yet but Gillen, who is becoming one of my favorite writers thanks to Thor, Journey Into Mystery, and Iron Man, writes the characters perfectly. Bendis better be taking notes, because THIS is how you write Noh-Varr

Anytime Loki is in a comic, I usually read it. Though I wasn’t happy when he became a kid (or a woman), I was happy about Kieron Gillen’s writing. Thanks to the Thor, Avengers, Thor: Dark World, and Thor: Ragnarok movies, Loki has become one of my favorite villains. Thanks to Kieron Gillen, he has become one of my favorite characters

If Kate Bishop and Loki weren’t some of my favorite characters ever, then we get this book.

I just can’t get enough of Loki😂

So I’m still not looking the villain but before this series I wasn’t familiar Prodigy and know I like him

Though the first issue gave me low hopes for this series, it has proved me wrong. Thankyou Kieron Gillen, because this has been an amazing series to read

Gage handles Julie and Striker’s conversation exceptionally. I’m not to excited about X-23 jointing but I’m really excited to see how this Reptil in the future plays out

I really like what Gage is doing right now with Reptil from the past. Hybrid is a villain that is a real threat to the Academy and I’m loving the new characters. The character development is stellar, I just wish Veil was still around

Amazing tie in to Waid’s Daredevil. If your reading Amazing Spider Man you may as well skip this but if your reading Daredevil this is a must read

I like the cover as a nod to Justice League but it is very misleading as the new team Avengers isn’t chosen. Spider Woman and Hawkeye look at each other from across the room some more but not much develops on that front. The new AIM with Norman Osborn as its leader looks like intimidating and it could be a lot of fun

I love when writers dedicate entire issues to choosing the teams. I love the new lineup and though it seems like Dark Reign is happening again, it seems more towned and that it will end quicker than Dark Reign. Great jumping on point if your new to the series

Not much happens but Avengers 20 sets up the next couple issues well

I was hoping this storyline would be at least a little different than Dark Reign but apparently Bendis has something else in mind. Plot wise, this series really isn’t that bad but character development it sucks

Even though Gorgon is on the cover, he’s not even in the book itself. Yeah, it’s one of those Bendis runs

This series still has its fair share of issues regarding character development, Bendis shows he is still a master of plotting stories with Dark Reign 2.0

The summary always says a relationship will be taken to a new level but nothing ever happens in this issue. I heard about Hawkeye and Spider Woman before I read this series and I expected a lot more

It’s great to see Magneto and the X-Men guest starring but was all the part time students, the X-Men, Magneto, and the Instructors, the core 7 students take a back seat for this issue

Never liked all the demon stuff but Kieron Gillen has made it readable

I feel like we’re still a little Norman Osborned-out after Dark Reign and Siege and he is going to return it should be in a Spider Man book. I’m still invested in most of the characters on the team and Superia is still an intriguing villain

I found the fight against Ultimo dull and I also found the art to be confusing to follow at times yet the second half of the issue is incredible. Norman Osborn is back a little soon but it looks like Bendis is writing him well. It’s good to see Gorgon and Madame Hydra return after Secret Warriors as well

The new Dark Avengers are definitely less interesting as the originals. I’m more interested in Norman Osborn, Gorgon, Madame Hydra, and Superia

Very unoriginal as this is exactly Dark Reign but Osborn’s inner circle in HAMMER keep it interesting

Justice and Speedball quoting felt natural, which is a compliment to Gage. Veil quitting also felt natural as she accepts Jeremy’s offer which was offered in issue 14.1. The Academy moves in to the Old West Coast Avengers HQ, which is good because we are finally moving on from the horrible monstrosity which was Dan Slott’s Mighty Avengers. My only problem is that we are getting new students, who, with the exception of White Tiger, look bland, annoying, and uninteresting

I live the addition of Lightspeed and White Tiger and how the series still focuses on the core 5, but why so many part time students. There must have been 30 in this issue and I only recognized Spider Girl and Prodigy.

I always love when Smasher gets the spotlight, and the story is very well written with AIM as the main threat. Avengers World 2 took its time, which is my main complaint from issue one

I’m glad Shang-Chi is getting some panel time, and I’m happy Hickman is returning to the Gorgon character (Hickman wrote Gorgon in Secret Warriors). Stefano Caselli, who also worked on Secret Warriors, knocks it out of the park again

Wasn’t my favorite issue but I will read anything Hickman writes, even if he is just the co-writer. Excellent stuff from Caselli once more

 Avengers World #5 Dec 22, 2018

I was worried about what would happen to this series after Hickman and Caselli left but the quality has not changed. Well the art quality is a little bit lower but it is still good. Hyperion is a very interesting character and Nick Spencer knocks it out of the park

The last two issues have been decent but the ending sucked. About 20 pages are adds for new series and Thor died and came back literally two weeks later. This event was terrible but at least the tie-ins were good

We all knew Bucky was gonna come back sooner or later so it’s a good thing that we got sooner. The art is perfect and my only complaint is how out of character Steve was when he beat up Nick.

I mean we all new Thor was going to be back so why devote an entire issue to it when you get do it in Journey Into Mystery or Mighty Thor

The ending wasn’t great but the parts where Tony was talking to an almost comatose Grey Gargoyle really made your heart twitch

Avengers Academy 17 perfectly balanced character development and action

It’s good to see the kids on their own and out of their instructors’ shadow but not enough character development in this issue and a lot of action

Everything since issue 1 seems like it’s led up to Avengers Academy 19. The way Mettle and Hazmat decided to sacrifice their lives for Striker, Veil, and Reptil had me close to tears, and Gage takes a huge risk when Veil quits the team

Not the most impressive first issue but the rest of this series is near perfect

Killing off Wasp when she is probably gonna return in two years or less is just stupid like what’s the point

Comics at its worst. It’s obviously not Wanda Maximoff and if I didn’t hate Hank Pym as much as I could, I read Mighty Avengers 21. Usually I love Dan Slott: Amazing Spider Man, Superior Spider Man, Spider Man/Human Torch, Avengers: Initiative, Spider Verse, Spider Island, and She Hulk. This may be his worst work ever

This really sucks. And talk about not caring about a team: Hercules, Hank Pym, and US Agent? Wow that’s sad

This book already sucked but now Slott is infecting Loki with his awful writing

Slott failed previously at writing Loki and Hercules and now we can add Quicksilver to that list. And Hank Pym is just downright annoying, even more than usual. Although the Infinite Avengers Mansion may be fun to live in, it is BORING to read about

I found it hard to enjoy this issue because I don’t know even know why the Mighty Avengers are fighting the FF in the first place

The people in the critics section are on has because this is terrible. I don’t know it’s defi not for everyone but I think it sucks

Usually I hate a retcon but this one really isn’t bad. Christos Gage (Dan Slott’s longtime collaborator) might be just what this comic needs to revive itself

The Unspoken One storyline is great but I am hoping Vision and Stature just go back to the Young Avengers because they are just so poorly written

Too much going one for this to work

Great, now Slott has gotten his paws on all the other Avengers

The Unspoken Obe storyline could have been great but it ended up being just meh, which is a big victory for this series under Dan slott

Vision, Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, and Loki are just too good of characters to be written like this

WHY DID WHEDON ONLY WRITE 24 ISSUES THIS WAS AMAZING

The cover is a scam because Spider Woman and Clint don’t even interact once this entire issue. One a positive note, I finally feel some appreciation for Noh-Varr but other than that a pretty skippable tie-in

Cool issue but I wish Avengers Academy didn’t tie in with Fear Itself

The Hank Pym vs Absorbing Man parts of this usually are pretty boring but Gage spices things up for Veil in the last couple pages

The most frustrating part about Fear Itself 4 is that nothing really happens. Example: Before Fear Itself 4, Nazi robots were attacking the world. After Fear Itself 4, Nazi robots are still attacking the world. So far this Serpent character really hasn’t done anything but yell like a villain from the 90s

Even as a child, Loki proves he is the most manipulative and deceptive character in the Marvel Universe

Only problem with this issue is that all Fear Itself tie ins feel generic: Te main characters go to New York or Washington DC and fight a bunch of Nazi Robots. Ok now that you think about it that isn’t the worst sounding story but the execution sucks but not a bad issue

So when did Logan and Squirrel Girl sleep together?

It’s always a delight when Bendis writes Daredevil but please please please Marvel, don’t make Daredevil an Avenger

The best part about Nick Spencer taking over this comic is that the non-Steve Rogers characters are getting the spotlight. This was a great tie-in and it isn’t just some wild battle like we’ve been seeing in Fear Itself tie-ins like Avengers and Avengers Academy. Spencer writes Valkyrie flawlessly

Wow the artists tried really hard to draw Black Widow’s ass and boobs in every scene. There is some interesting conversation about character death in comics and it seemed like to me that Nick Spencer was trying to justificate character resurrections. IMO, character resurrections are stupid because no one cares about Bucky’s death because he comes back two years later. Captain America died twice and is back. Bruce Banner died in Secret Empire but they brought him back. Clint Barton died in Avengers Disassembled but was resurrected in House of M. Vision died in Avengers Disassembled but was resurrected in Young Avengers. Wasp died in Secret Invasion but she’s fine. Magneto died in House of M but was resurrected in New Avengers. Elektra has died countless times and was always resurrected. Bucky Barnes died in the 1940s and was still resurrected in 2006. Secret Avengers 15 just seems like a justification that characters deaths really do matter when they really don’t anymore.

The critics seem to be giving this a lot of pace but so far it has been one of my favorite Fear Itself tie ins. This issue probably reads better collected like I’m reading now but still a fun and perfectly paced issue even without much action. Also the art is unbelievable

Chris Claremont would be proud of the way Kieron Gillen has portrayed the Juggernaut in these last two issue

And so the Kang Dynasty begins!

Wanda’s powers are basically whatever the writer needs them to be. Seriously though, compare Wanda from Stan Lee, to Roy Thomas, to Kurt Busiek, to Geoff Johns, to Chuck Austen, to Brian Michael Bendis, and to James Robinson and her powers and abilities are always different.

 Avengers (1998) #502 Dec 19, 2018

Bendis handled Wanda and his story so well and the best part is that Avengers Disassembled actually had lasting consequences. One could argue that Avengers Disassembled affected our heroes all the way to Avengers vs X-Men, which is 12 years later

I’ve previous stated that this book needs to to tone down the goofiness, but when it’s tieing into an event that tries way to hard to be grim and gritty, a little goofiness is a breath of fresh air. Spidey always finds a way to make me laugh while the Red Hulk and Noh-Varr egg jokes were hilarious. The Modern Family/Survivor-esque confessional thing was hilarious as well and Luke Cage and Jessica Jones’ marriage has never been funnier. Though I like Clint and Spider Woman as a couple, Bendis destroyed Clint and Bobbi’s relationship in one issue. During Dark Reign, Siege, and Hawkeye and Mockingbird it looked like Clint and Bobbi we’re back together. Like seriously read those comics and then read this one and it’s so stupid that they said they weren’t together

Somehow Avengers 14 finds the right mixture of silly and serious. I really liked Bendis’ story and that Red Hulk got more panel time. The avatars of Asgardians hammer people are really overpowered but I don’t think that is Bendis’ fault because he was tieing into a larger event

The only reason this issue is a 9.5 instead of a 10 is because it’s a Far Itself tie in and Fear Itself sucks. The art and story are beautiful and the Spider Woman Hawkeye romance is growing on me now that it isn’t so forced

Needless to say, a major step down from previous issues

The art work is out of this world but let’s all agree Bendis should never be aloud to touch Wonder Man again. Just read Kurt Busiek’s Avengers and you’ll see what a shame it is that Bendis has ruined Wonder Man

So the Odin character still feels really off and poorly written like last issue. It’s nice to see Juggernaut back in the spotlight and I like Hulk getting a hammer also. When did Attuma get his hammer? I’m not reading any of the tie-ins except Avengers Academy, Avengers, New Avengers, Secret Avengers, Invincible Iron Man, Journey Into Mystery, and Uncanny X-Men so it might have happened in an issue I’ve missed. This isn’t Immomen’s best work and the part where the world is collapsed in fear and all these tragedies are happening is really dumb. This book doesn’t fit Fraction’s strong suits and it is way out of time from the rest of the Heroic Age

Ok so I liked the art a lot better this issue and the Thor story is really entertaining but the Earth parts are so dull like the Avatars of the Serpent don’t do anything and I find it really hard to care about the Serpent if he never really appears. Is it just me or is Sin’s dialogue extremely repetitive and corny. I like that Fraction took I risk at the end of the issue but looking back on the first 3 issues of Fear Itself, it’s been a huge disappointment

The art is definitely bothering me but the story is great. Loki is one of my favorite characters and Journey Into Mystery is already my favorite tie-in

Kieron Gillen has taking advantage of Fear Itself and is writing one of the best Loki stories ever

Pacing is a little off but intriguing opening issue

Finally someone other than Steve Rogers gets the spotlight in Secret Avengers. Nick Spencer delivers a touching spotlight story on Hank McCOy amidst the Fear Itself storyline. The start of the issue started out shaky and felt forced, but it was worth it.

The Perez art is awesome

I’m not really invested in any of the villains so far but the team dynamic and drama that Busiek writes is what keeps me going

Kurt writes Wanda perfectly (and Perez draws her perfectly as well) and Moses Magmum is an interesting villain but something is up with this Triathlon guy

If your looking for a goofy, happy, and uplifting comic, this is not for you

This isn’t true Bendis Daredevil. That starts up in Daredevil 26

Not for the faint of heart

The beginning of everything a Daredevil fan has ever wanted

The fact that this is the highest rated issue concerns me, because it wasn’t particularly impressive. The main reason Fear Itself fails is because it doesn’t fit the tone set by other current Comics. The Heroic Age had a main focus on happy and uplifting comics, highlighted by the Avengers titles of Avengers, New Avengers, and Avengers Academy. Those are all generally “happy” books and Fear Itself is the exact opposite of that, hence the name. I’m glad Matt Fraction is writing because I’ve loved what he’s been doing with Invincible Iron Man. Unfortunately, Fraction excels at writing happy and goofy Comics instead of dark Comics like Fear Itself, and it’s pretty obvious. Look at what Fraction has done with Immortal Iron Fist, Sex Criminals, Invincible Iron Man, and Hawkeye and compare those to Fear Itself and you’ll see. The part with the Broxton neighbors saying goodbye to each other was pretty teaching and the parts with Red Skull’s daughter are particularly intriguing. The worst parts are the terrible writing of Odin, as he just acts so out of character the whole time. Usually with event comics the start is great with a disappointing ending but with a start as bad a this I can’t help but “fear” the next few issues. See what I did there

This issue did enough to get me excited about Nick Spencer’s next couple of issues as the dialogue is much more clear but this issue could’ve been used to highlight some of the characters who don’t get enough panel time like Rhodey or Valkyrie

So this issue really helped me to enjoy the Smasher character and I’m glad she and Hyperion get issues like these because usually they don’t get enough panel time

I’m not the biggest Captain Universe fan but still a fantastic and fun read

Don’t blink or you might miss something incredible because this issue was awesome

Dustin Weaver and Hickman hey back together after their SHIELD team up!

It might to a couple reads to understand everything that happens but trust me it’s worth it

Poor Canada: First they got New Avengers 16 by Bendis and now this storyline

Sunspot and Cannonball goofing around with some AIM agents > any other price of literature ever

Hickman lets his imagination run wild and I love it

I do like it when comics have a religious element to them, like Matt seeing a priest, but the narrating is just horrendous on so many levels

The Return of Karen Page is nice but the religious element and the narrating make Daredevil 2 borderline unreadable

The Foggy story is nice and well written but same problems as the previous two issues just to a lesser extent

Things are starting to heat up with Bullseye and Maggie entering the fray

A good issue that wraps up all the loose ends and sets the stage for a new writer

 Daredevil (1998) #9 Dec 17, 2018

What I thought were gonna be a mediocre couple of issues before Bendis took over has pleasantly surprised me with the arrival of Maya Lopez

No matter how many times he tries, Bendis just can't write Ultron well. Also weird dialogue as well.

Wish the pace would speed up a little and it seems like the flashbacks are all just filler.

I guess its an ok story but it just moves as fast as a slug

Well we got a faster pace this issue but the stuff with the weather going crazy is just stupid.

A better issue but this is not Ultron at his finest.

There's just no team chemistry at all unlike New Avengers. Also, writers that should be aloud to write Ultron: Roy Thomas and Kurt Busiek

Continues the Skrull stuff from New Avengers while still having a great independent story. Fantastic issue

 Mighty Avengers #8 Dec 17, 2018

The critics are giving New Avengers 12 a lot of hate but it is really good so don’t let the bad critic reviews from keeping you from reading this series

The Spider Woman and Ronin plots are interesting and we got plenty of action

This issue is written extremely well and i never found myself bored

Gotta love J Jonah Jameson

Not many scenes with the actual Avengers in it and the issue centers around a villain I’m not sure if I like or not

I’m glad we’re dinally getting mention of House of M

Based on New Avengers 16, I thought I was gonna hate this arc, but #18 is proving me wrong

The SHIELD stuff is interesting

Brian Michael Bendis somehow found a way to bring Magneto back in a way where it didn’t seem illogical or frustrating

Alex Maleev art and an issue featuring Wanda Maximoff? No way this was a bad issue. A lot people hate on Bendis’ writing style, which is heavily dialogue during non-fighting and no dialogue during fighting, with fight scenes being very long. I like Bendis and I think he is doing a great job on New Avengers

Civil War has given this comic new meaning as we wonder who Robin is this time

Not much happens in the present day plot but the flashbacks are very entertaining. Good to see the Mighty Avengers in this

Civil War saved this series

Wow. Just wow. New Avengers 30 is full of reveals as Clint Barton is revealed to be the new Ronin and Elektra has been a Skrull this whole time. Also the New and Mighty Avengers Battle is still going on
7.0
 New Avengers #31 Dec 17, 2018

Leinil Yu shines In the pages of New Avengers and puts David Finch and Howard Chaplin to shame

Not a lot of Skrull stuff happens but we got the Hood who Bendis is turning into an interesting character while the appearance of Deathlok is a pleasant surprise

It’s all coming together with New Avengers and Mighty Avengers in Secret Invasion. Also what’s going on with Spider Woman? Bendis somehow takes advantage of his hot streak after Civil War by starting up the prologue to Swcret Invasion!

So Hood beats up Tigra and makes a video of it and Tigra is left with severe trauma. This plot point is picked up in Avengers: The Iniative and again years later in Avengers Academy, where Tigra finally heals from her trauma

No rearl Revelations this issue but I guess Bendis is just getting Mighty Avengers in its groove before Secret Invasion goes full force

This Hood stuff has lasted way too long

Brian Bendis created Jessica Jones and reinvented Luke Cage and this a love story to his accomplishments. We deserve a Luke Cage and Jessica Jones couple comic

It’s always cool to see Maya Lopez, who first appeared in the pages of Daredevil, in New Avengers. Secret Invasion is here, and we’re just along for the ride

The Skrull backgrounds are perfectly revealed. Secret Invasion is shaping up to be one of the best Comics ever

I lot of needless action between the Avengers and Skrulls but the Spidey and Ka-Zar stuff is great

It’s obvious at this point that Bendis specializes with some characters and falls flat with others. Luke Cage, Spider Man, Jessica Jones, Daredevil, and Wolverine are characters Bendis is good at writing yet he fails when it comes to Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. Fortunately, Spider Woman falls in the former. And this issue shines

Bendis is executing Secret Invasion perfectly

Bendis writes the Illuminati amazingly, not as good as Hickman, but still amazingly

Skrulls? In House of M? Yea, you heard that right

More incredible Secret Invasion flashbacks

I have a feeling Jessica’s missing baby will lead to big things in Dark Reign

Even though the issue is 48, it kinda acts like a first issue for the Avengers

Bendis does a great job of helping the reader understand Luke’s rage

There's nothing really fundamentally wrong with this issue as the art is tremendous, but it just seems like every time Brian Michael Bendis needs a storyline, he just uses the Hood

Loki keeps this series alive

So Clint is affected by the power disruptor.

Any issue with the Cabal is bound to be interesting

A more low-key issue that's highly entertaining

 New Avengers Annual #2 Dec 17, 2018

Finally an annual that serves a purpose

The idea of a Secret Avengers story is pretty interesting but with a lineup that includes Steve Rogers, Valkyrie, Beast, Eric O’Grady, Black Widow, Moon Knight, and it looks like Nova later on. Intriguing first issue and out of the 4 monthly Avengers series this looks to be the best

I feel like I’m suppose to care about this big mystery even though I don’t. Going to Mars seems over the top for the first storyline of a series that’s supposed to be grim and grounded. Look, I love Mike Deodato as much as the next guy, but his art really isn’t firing on all cylinders here

I love when comics use secret and mysterious organizations Like, love love love it! I loved Captain America: Winter Soldier. I loved Agents of SHIELD season 3. I loved Daredevil Season 2. But once u read about these organizations, it gets kind of old. The Shadow Organization just seems like a poor man’s Hydra. I like Hydra stories. I like AIM stories. And I like Hand stories. Everything else you may as well skip

Steve becoming Nova to save the universe is a pretty interesting concept yet I still don’t care for the Shadow Organization. Secret Avengers ha stage most interesting cast of characters yet they barely get time to shine so far. I know Brubaker write Captain America for a long time but at least sit things up evenly and give the other characters more screen time

Well the good news is we don’t have another series with a. Bunch of Nick Fury flashbacks and revelations because the man on the cover is actually Max Fury. It was a relief that it wasn’t the real Nick but super unnecessary like why do we need Max or Nick Firy in this book?

Wel this story arc is looking better than the last one and I live the addition of Shang-Chi but Steve and Beast hog the panels while the other characters rarely appear. The art is also still kinda iffy in my opinion as well

Moon Knight and Beast don’t really do anything this issue but Shang-Chi works really well in Secret Avengers. Hopefully this Shadow Organization stuff doesn’t drag on too long because it’s the only thing dragging this book down

The last thing this series needed to do was retcon a major part of Captain America’s history. I really couldn’t care about the Shadow Council less and the John Steele twist is making this series unbearable. In an arc that was supposed to center around Shang-Chi has found its way back to Ed Brubaker’s golden boy Steve Rogers. Less is more, Ed, less is more

Kung-Fu and Spies in a book called Secret Avengers which stars Captain America, Sharon Carter, Moon Knight, Black Widow, Shang-Chi, War Machine, and Valkyrie and Ed Brubaker still found a way to mess it up. If you are looking for a quality Avengers book read Avengers Academy

Well Brubaker’s execution is good but I don’t care for John Steele or the Shadow Council. Hopefully either Fear Itself or Nick Spencer (or both!) can fix this book up

More entertaining than the present day stuff but I hate the retcon. Also I could not care less for the Prince of Orphans. Also, why call this book Secret Avengers if Captain America and Beast are the only ones that appear?

I never thought I’d say this bad thank goodness Ed Brubaker is moving on

Solid first issue but it shows no indication on how good it will be down the road

The great part about this series is that each of the students could still end up being a villain. Looks like Finesse will end a villain. And what’s up with Mettle? Is he Red Skull’s kid or he is he a brand new character. I guess we’ll have to see

So the students don’t actually fight the Thunderbolts at all but Gage knows his characters very well

Still no fight with those T-Bolts but Christos Gage’s writing skills shine

Easily the best issue yet as Avengers Academy 5 has made Striker my favorite student so far. Also, poor Veil seeing Justice and Ultra Girl together

Reptil baby

So Avengers Academy is basically a sequel to Dan Slott’s Mighty Avengers. And Slott’s Mighty Avengers was terrible. Somehow, Christos Gage has fixed everything. The Infinite Mansion is homey and humane. Jocasta is more realistic and less annoying. The characters actually have personalities. I’m not even interested in the villains anymore, just for the high school drama

Avengers Academy never fails to disappoint. Issue 9 resolved a plot from Avengers: The Iniative while also being a lead-up to Avengers 7-12. Also the art was impressive, as Mike McKone even drew Tigra’s underwear having a hole for her tail (I always wondered how that worked). You can really connect with Tigers in this issue as well as the students who are expelled for their actions

Any scene with Tigra, Mettle, Veil, Reptile, Justice, Striker, and Speedball are usually perfect, but the highlight of issue 9 is between Taskmaster and Finesse. Characters who never show emotion share a moment you can really connect to.

Another Fantastic issue by Gage and I think I finally understand Hazmat. Also Leech makes an appearance from Jonathan Hickman’s Fantastic Four run (My second favorite comic run ever). Too bad the cover was a bluff and their isn’t much magic

Gage has done a great job of respecting contuinity as Avengers 11 is a sequel to the Korvac Saga, resolves a plot point from Dan Slott’s Mighty Avengers, and references a 1990s Captain America comic. The art takes a step down and having a billion Heroes come in to fight Korvac was a little extra

Tremendous issue. Veil saves herself from dying, which I was really happy about. Gage also convinced me that Striker was really dead there and don’t even get me started about that last part with Mettle and Hazmat. That had my eyes getting misty

What I love about Avengers Academy 13 is that it is not afraid of anything. It’s not afraid to show a sex scene between a middle ages founding Avenger and a young tiger lady who walks around in lingerie. I loved the follow up to the end of issue 12 with Mettle and Hazmat. I also love the Veil and Striker dynamic. My favorite part though, as a lover of Kurt Busiek’s Avengers, is the scene between Justice and Firestar. I’d been waiting so long for that moment and it broke my heart.

Well I hope that after I read Fear Itself I can look back on this issue and say I liked it, because right now I don’t like it. I real step back from previous issue

A bold starting point coming out of House of M and I loved it!

Should of known another Marvel event was going to be about Wolverine

Hawkeye wasn't even dead for a year but still an amazing issue

Don't know why this gets so much hate I love House of M

 House Of M Collected Dec 13, 2018

Even though the series was renumbered, SHIELD Vol 2 1 is easily the best issue yet. Basically the whole issue is devoted to the Forever Man himself, Michelangelo. And it was great. And yes, everything is finally making sense

Though this issue doesn't have any main reveals, it sets up the last 4 issues perfectly. Issac Newton escapes his execution by fleeing to the future. The war between Leonardo Da Vinci and Newton appears to end. And in the comics final pages, while Nostradamus and the Star Child, are looking for the Infinity Formula, the Star Child stumbles upon the Quiet Math and it drives him insane

Bendis does such a good job of pacing. I love this series and it’s only issue 1

The Avengers finally come face to face with the Hood and sets the stage for the final two issues of this storyline

The last page sets the stage for an amazing finale

Doctor Strange’s Thanos trick was truly awesome, and maybe my favorite moment of this series so far. The only problem I have with this issue is that Hood gets no closure. He just goes back to jail. Bendis uses Hood so much that I was hoping he’d finally go out in a blaze of glory. Oh, and Red Hulk joins the Avengers

Just because it has a .1 after it doesn’t mean you can just skip it. Avengers 12.1 is a much more fast paced and fun follow up to Avengers 1-6, but with much much better art. It also serves as Prologue to Age of Ultron. The only reason my review isn’t higher is because Age of Ultron wasn’t that amazing, it was just meh

The art is the only thing holding Avengers 1 from getting a 10

I love Hickman’s “go large” idea for the Avengers but Jerome Opena dust really sucks

Hickman’s pacing has been amazing as the opening story arc has only took 3 issues, but when you think about it, isn’t this whole series just one big story arc? Opena is still lacking though

Hickman knows his characters well, and Adam Kubert delivers amazing art!

A higher than average tie-in in a mediocre event

A mediocre tie-in for a mediocre event

Infinity is a must read!

This series shines when it ties in to big stories like Infinity

Not as good as the previous two but still a must read if you are in to Infinity!

What looked like a good idea has already become a convuluted mess by the end of the first issue. And seriously, Matthew Rosenberg couldn’t be more unoriginal. Alternative futures and time travel with the X-Men? Never heard of that before

What makes this series so frustrating is that it focuses on the plot than Jamie Madrox himself. The usually limited series are easy to follow along with but man it’s just so hard to follow along

Way to much time travel and future and alternative reality stuff

It started to make sense a little bit more but still horrible

Well it finally started to make sense and it turns out it wasn’t worth it anyway.

This storyline is just taking so long to end in just happy its ending

Finally it’s over

While the art is absolutely stunning the extremely overpriced story itself lacks. The New Avengers hey beat up by Wonder Man and a bunch of Z-Listers while Victoria Hand scrambles around in a cleavage corset. My biggest complaint thought is how terrible Bendis rights Wonder Man.

 New Avengers (2013) Annual #1 Dec 12, 2018

Though it is hard to follow, it sets up an interesting starting point for the history of SHIELD

Still hard to follow and hasn’t lived up to my expectations yet. SHIELD is so unique though because it takes place in Rome and not New York, takes place in the 50s instead of present day, and it doesn’t even involve any recognizable Marvel characters. Heck, without the cover and Galactus , I wouldn’t even know this was a Marvel book

The secret history of Newton plays really well but always make sure to read the recap of the past issues just to make sure you know what is going on

History is my favorite subject, so reading this has been a field day. Imhotep, Galileo, Issac Newton, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Nostradamus all appear in this comic series

A comic mostly following Howard Stark and Nathaniel Richards, SHIED 5 adds Nikola Tesla to the growing list of historical figures appearing.

Hickman somehow ends SHIELD Vol 1 with a bang while also perfectly setting up vol 2. Who would have ever thought that a comic book called SHIELD would be about a war between Issac Newton and Leonardo Da Vinci with Michaelangelo pulling the strings

A good start

Noh-Varr joining the book is great but this time travel is getting pretty confusing and the Wonder Man as a villain thing isn’t really working out but we’ll see

It’s a cool story idea but it has been just poorly executed by Brian Michael Bendis and the Apocalypse and time travel stuff is a little overboard. Too many jokes and they don’t fit the tone

Bendis is doing a writing an interesting story but he executes it so poorly that it seems like I just don’t care when I’m supposed to. I hope future storyline better than the first one. Old Tony Stark is cool though and the promise of the Avengers’ kids was just an attention grab.

The story is progressing but it feels like we’ve read this Ultron stuff a thousand times already.

Wow that was confusing

Avengers 7 is a MAJOR improvement over the 1st 6 issues and this is a must read

Improves upon the last issue with the Illuminati, The Hood, and the Infinity Stones!

I thought this series was lost after the Kang storyline but Bendis assembles The Illuminati, Avengers, New Avengers, Secret Avengers, and Red Hulk to fight an infinity stone wielding Hood who’s on the hunt for the entire Gauntlet!

A lot goes on but nothing actually happens. The art is stunning but overall pretty boring.

Cool lineup but a lot of team members are also on the main Avengers Squad. Not a fan f this storyline tho

I just hate the magic and the demon stuff like Bendis couldn’t think of something more original for the opening storyline?

The magic stuff sucks

Great artt but bad plot

This arc is just so dragged out and boring and unoriginal. Luckily the art is great and the characters are like able

The best issue yet. Bendis wrapped up a terrible story arc, killed off an useless character, and (possibly) created an all-new villain for the future all in one issue with Immonen’s stunning art

My favorite issue so far. New Avengers 7 isn’t really part of an overall story arc, which gives us more time for stuff like the team receiving their paychecks (accept Spidey, he doesn’t get paid). Doctor Strange also joins the team, which I like, but the team is getting a little crowded. Squirrel Girl is also hired as Danielle’s nanny. The only reason I reviewed #7 a 9 and not a 10 is because it is revealed that Logan and Squirrel Girl used to have sex 😂

The only weakness New Avengers has coming into New Avengers 8 is that the book felt extremely crowded. Bendis fixes this in New Avengers by mainly focusing on Luke Cage and Jessica Jones going on a date and fighting a Doombot. It’s simple, eye candy thanks to Daniel Acuna, and full of fun.

New Avengers 9 takes a step down in quality after New Avengers 7 and 8 after Mike Deodato takes over from Daniel Acuna and Stuart Immomen. The art took a dip as did the story telling, as the Nick Fury flashback thing has been played over thousands of times. The present day story isn’t any better as the New Avengers fight Superia and the remnant of HAMMER

The story taking place in 1959 has really improved since last issue with the introduction of Nick Fury’s 1959 Avengers. I still don’t know how the flashback story relates in the smallest bit to present day story. The present day story is still pretty boring besides Mockingbird being shot

And now the tides have turned. In New Avengers 10, the dominant storyline was easily the 1959 one, with the present day story lacking. Now the present day story is thriving after Bobbi getting shot, while the 1959 story is basically the bland Nick Fury Avengers running around looking for the Red Skull

Not related to Original Sin in any capacity but definetely an amazing read and it kicks off the best parts of Hickman's Avengers and New Avengers runs

Jonathan Hickman has taken us on a journey unlike any other and it is finally culminating Secret Wars. Read this issue. Read every Hickman Avengers book. You won't be disappointed.

This whole storyline has been kinda meh. I don't really care about Kulan Gath or Silverclaw's mom or any of it.

Maybe the highlight of Kurt Busiek's whole run. Heck, probably the highlight of Busiek's entire career. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Kurt Busiek was born to write Kang the Conqueror. This is a tremendous issue and, especially the last couple pages, were extremely devastating.

Oh Chuck Austen, your Avengers run sucked. Nobody cares about this new Captain Britian. Nobody cares about the Invaders. Believe me, Hank Pym has always been one of my least favorite characters, but Hawkeye and the Wasp getting together? That is just crossing a line. Hank doesn't deserve that.

Brian Michael Bendis gives a relief of fresh air to a series that was being driven to the ground by Chuck Austen. The artwork is amazing and is exactly how Avengers comics should be drawn. I still don't know why Captain Britain is still here but let's go ahead and blame Austen again on this one. Iron Man's UN speech is amazing to read thanks to the Bendis writing and Finch art. Avengers #500 is truly the worst day in Avengers history

So a couple months ago I decided I was going to read all the modern Avengers comics before Avengers 4 came out. I started with Kurt Busiek’s Avengers, which was tons of fun and spectacular, especially during the Kang dynasty story. Afterwards Came Geoff Johns’ Avengers, which turned out to be a pleasant surprise. Chuck Austen’s Avengers run sucked which led me into Avengers Disassembled, which I liked but didn’t love. After I read House of M, and to this day it is still one of my favorite comics ever. After that I began the Brian Michael Bendis era of Avengers. It was the greatest thing ever. From the Breakout story to Civil War to Secret Invasion to Dark Reign to Siege to Secret Avengers to Fear Itself to Avengers vs X-Men. It was the most amazing thing I’d ever read. After I finished up AvX I decided to read Hickman’s run, with an extremely high bar thanks to Bendis. 79 issues between Avengers and New Avengers. One story. One. Hickman blew my mind. Avengers by Hickman took my mind places I didn’t know existed. I laughed. I cried. I wondered. Never have been so emotionally invested into a comic book. Hickman put heart into every character he touched. The twist and turns on every last page had me guessing. He had me routing for Thor and Hyperion against an army of Ivory Kings even though they had no chance. He had me shocked when he revealed the identity of Rabum Alal. The art is awesome. There is so much emotion on every page and every character. Do yourself a favor. Read Hickman’s Avengers and New Avengers. You’ll forget about Bendis

Bad. Bad bad bad bad bad bad. I had no clue what was going on. The art is confusing. The writing is confusing. Greg Pak saved this series because Daniel Way would have drove it to the grave

I slight improvement from last issue but still I bad comic. Not sure how this sets up Planet Hulk though

Greg Pak needs to give my heart back. Especially the last page. Heartbreak

It is a #1 issue so I wasn't expecting much, but Scarlet Witch #1 is one long, confusing discussion between a random cop and Scarlet Witch. The art does not fit the tone and Wanda's powers art again confusing. Wanda's powers are basically whatever the author needs them to be. I would give a worse rating, but then again it is a #1 issue so I wasn't expecting much

WOW! What an improvement in art. The art matches the setting and character perfectly. The story itself also wasn't as bad and was pretty entertaining. This series definetly has potential and a can't wait to see how it goes.

Honestly, I only read this issue because it is a Disassemble tie-in, but WHO WOULDN'T WANT TO READ THIS ISSUE AFTER LOOKING AT THAT COVER! I mean, just look at that cover! Anyways, I found it funny when Wanda used her powers to top time. Wanda's powers are literally whatever the author needs them to be. However, besides the Wanda moments, #6 was kinda boring. The part were Falcon tests out his new wings is cool, but most of the issue is one big discussion/fight scene in the Bugle. Also, is it just me or do Jameson, Jimmy, and Nick Fury look exactly the same?

Not a very eventful issue but the art convinced me Wanda is the hottest woman in Marvel.

Paul Cornell does a good job of not trying to out due Jason Aaron's run (Which came before his) and by creating his own feel on the book. With that said, I get a mixed feeling from issue 1. It feels like a fun, PG comic about a cool character, but if is also violent when the dad kills all those people. Sometimes #1 feels like a lighthearted kids book while sometimes it is violent like Aaron/Loeb/Bunn's run. Also kinda boring but shows promise
