Amazing Spider-Man (2022) #54 Nov 4, 2024

DC should be embarrassed to allow such bad writing for Catwoman let alone Batman!

I can easily say this was the worst issue of a comic I've ever read. I am a huge fan of most of what Bendis did at Marvel from Jessica Jones, Avengers, and even X-Men runs but it's as he's since his move to DC his books have just been getting worse to the point that they're now just unreadable. I read through DC Universe so reading an issue is free but can no longer waste my time or deal with the aggravation of this run.

I've been loving most the X books of the Krakoa era so was so disappointed with this. Was a true drudge just to get through and a shame cuz I love these characters but looks like I'll be skipping this one from here on out.

Wow, this was bad. I was very optimistic for Zeb Wells' run but this issue makes me very nervous. Inferno was great for being a serious story with goofy elements but this shows Dark Web is trying to capture that but is failing by going so cheesy goofy even in the villains portrayals that there's no story to be invested in.

Wells never created a valid reason for Ms. Marvel to be shoehorned in this series and further didn't even include her in meaningful conversations to make her part of the story. Marvel editorial's agenda for a money grab to cash in on some attention and then change her to a mutant later on, is so transparent it's embarrassing. Meanwhile Spider-Man fan just keep taking the abuse. Struggling to even continue reading even via Marvel Unlimited.

Knight Terrors: Detective Comics (2023) #1 Aug 23, 2023

This was a decent series that just really fell of the rails come War for Earth 3. Shame these last two issues were just nonsense.

I used to love Tom Taylor and held out hope he'd come to a satisfying end here but man what a waste of time. Not only do we not a get a satisfying conclusion to Jon or Injustice Superman's stories, but the whole issue felt like Tom Taylor apologizing for his Injustice work when anyone with a brain accepted it was an Elseworld's story. Nightwing started out great until it just became the perpetual "Nightwing is awesome" series without resolving major plots, his Jon Kent work's been ok, and Teen Titans has so far been disappointing with the writing quality of an average digital first. Shame he couldn't keep up the magic he brought to the table on Injustice, Unkillables, and the DCeased digital spin off.

Another drag of a boring issue further making a joke of the phoenix force and our loved characters with pointless fights and cliché tropes of characters saying things that feel off base for what we know of them. I was really liking the beginning of Aaron's run and was pumped to see where it was leading but the Moon Knight issues really seemed to be a bore and this arc has been especially brutal. Hoping we can get back to some better stories once this arc is finally over with.

The Dark Web crossover was atrocious and completely ruined Limbo just making it a complete joke. Now bringing that awful story and characters back into the series just continues to drag this series down after being on a decent pace of late. Zeb Wells thinks his "clever" Bizarro Spider-Man character Rek-Rap is a hilarious hit, but is proving he should not be given the chance to write series for Marvel's top characters and should be kept for books like Deadpool.

McKay really needs to spend some time slowing down and focus on character work which is what he's best at. Each issue has been quickly losing steam due to nonstop end of the world threats but having most of this issue be just a dream was really lame. The art was great and still keeping faith McKay finds his groove.

Super disappointing series

They've stretched this era out too far and these latest stories are bad. This book has was never as good a Gillen's run but was still good enough but starting with the Sabe storyline it's been on a steep downward trend.

This run has been so disappointed and I will no longer read it unless their a change in writers. Aphra is the best new character we’ve got from the Star Wars comics and I just hope this awful run doesn’t tarnish her name or hurt the character’s popularity going forward.

Great art in general but the story and dialogue are brutally corny. Only issue with the art is how he seems to lean into the goofiness of the story. It's so disappointing that Marvel not only allows but embraces Wells run that doesn't take the title seriously. This feels like a goofy digital comics not the main series. Marvel's been struggling mediocre titles trying to be "fun" that just play off corny.

Fall of the House of X (2024) #4 Jun 17, 2024

Rather than find a character's voice, Si Spurrier just decides to impose his voice into the characters he's writing and it's extremely jarring and pretentious. This is why I tend to avoid his work but I gave him a fair shot as I love Wally. Lesson learned that Spurrier just can't help himself and I'll stick to avoiding his work from now on regardless of how much I love the characters he's holding hostage. It's criminal the Jeremy Adams run was canceled far too early to shift gears to this and hopefully the sales indicate this was a misstep forcing DC to learn their lesson.

I'm a big fan of all Daniel Warren Johnson's previous stuff but was really disappointed with this one.

I used to love Bendis books back in the Marvel days, now his writing is unreadable and a shame he's just trying to force all his failed or ignored stories from his disappointing Superman and Leviathan runs into the Justice League. Solid art and still enjoying the JLA Dark backups fortunately.

The story has interesting things brewing but the art just really took me out of it and made the story hard to follow or take serious.

This book was fairly boring and King is writing Penguin as if he's the most evil character in the DCU which is totally off base and instantly took me out of the issue.

This issue was a slog to read and I really didn't jive with King's voice for Superman especially (though not as painful as his voice for Damian & Jon). He's clearly trying to recapture the fun of Date Night (which I really liked) but failed with constant goofy lines from Superman and writing Clark very generic as if he doesn't know Bruce like a brother. So many bad jokes and lines that just made no sense for them to say ("please don't tell Darksied"). That said the final few pages taking the picture and Bruce receiving the gift were fantastic and gave me some feels to see him smile like that but it's just a shame the journey to get there was so poor.

Howard Porter is a talented artist with a dynamic feel but is just not for me. I could deal with it through Shadow War as the story was entertaining, but when paired with a mediocre story the combination was a disappointing issue.

I was really concerned having Tini Howard involved in this crossover as I don't feel any writer can salvage anything she's involved in but this issue somewhat tainted my feelings on Zdarsky's writing (who I find to be one of the best writers currently at the big 2). Dick Grayson saying Bruce needs to get off his "Moral Ledge" is practically blasphemy. Dick and Superman are supposed to be the moral compass of the DCU so he would never make such a statement of act like this. Just when it seemed the Bat-family was finally in a good place and getting along, we' thrown right into another rift that we keep seeing repeated through each writer's runs and it's getting so old and frustrating at this point. The Bat line is in dire need of a capable editor to manage the direction of these books and to challenge the writers to re-assess their ideas to get the most out of their potential. On a more positive note, it's so great to have Jorge Jimenez back on this book as his art style is amazing bringing so much life to it. Easily my favorite artist right now.

This was an ok story for an early Gordon tale but it really hurt the series further ruining the flow of the main story.

I've loved this series as Williamson has a great voice for the arrow family and the issues have been lots of fun. I've been able to gloss over some of the goofy story lines and forced explanations for things but this issue struggled too much to ignore. The whole Sanctuary hard light construct concept and fight were boring and the stuff with Malcom's off world explanations dragged. Really hope things pick up next issue and Williamson can stick the landing to this series (as well as Superman) which I've so far found to be a huge flaw in his previous work.

The story beats were fine but the writing was so corny and the art did nothing in its favor. It’s a shame this series is going out with a dud when it was solid for the majority of the run.

I was a huge fan of most of Bendis' work over at Marvel and was excited to see him make his way to DC but man after trying to be positive at first on Superman which ended up being a total disappointment in the end, this Justice League run so far is just a dud. All the characters are too jokey sounding the same and the book just feels like a back door pilot for Naomi. At least there's the JL Dark backup to enjoy.

Man for such a promising and fun start, Spencer's run is really going out on a lull. After fully developing Boomerang into such a great character it's a shame how his death felt so rushed and almost glossed over to lose all emotional weight it should have held. The play to have Doc Oc foil kindred's plan was solid as true to the character but the conclusion to this "war" doesn't read like an end and should have had a confrontation between Peter and Kindred. Really hoping the next ASM issue has a somewhat satisfying conclusion.

The Brainiac related back story was alright but the whole Bibbo story was such a grag being far too long and lacking any subtlety. Though I generally agree with Mark Russell's politics, I hate his writing and wish he'd remain off cannon storylines as he's only focused on politics not writing an interesting story.

The instant elevation of Bendix being one of the biggest threats to the DC Universe was a bit much.

Love the art but as the series led on, it became more evident that this was a lot of style over substance. "Poetic" narration coming across as "deep" but really felt like empty calories come the end.

This series started off so strong and just got so convoluted and off focus but the one saving grace was the tweak to make Bloom a mad scientist that led to some entertainment.

Big fan of Sophie Campbell and liked the concept of character day to day life focused stories post issue 100 at first, but this current run is really starting to drag and feels like it's treading water. I've loved many silent issues but feel the images just weren't strong enough to show a compelling story. I love the turtles and will stick with the series but really hope things start to improve.

Good story but once again this art just took me out of the issue.

I like how Diana doesn't break but the issue drags. I would have preferred her not having ate the rat which would have made the ending even stronger showing ho she can't be broken. The back up was actually enjoyable with Damian & Jon as dogs so King couldn't continue his awful depictions of the characters. But that falls apart at the end as they revert back to King's petty portrayal of them.

I was able to enjoy this issue enough by just shutting off my brain and enjoying time with 2 characters I really enjoy. Duggan's over use of pandering phrases in all his stories has become so cringy at this point and come across as cheap when they're valid themes that can be displayed intelligently with some subtlety.

Was so excited for Zeb Wells' run on Spider-Man after his amazing Hellions run but so far the story is really lacking. Romita's art also doesn't help. I'm cool for waiting to find out what happened in the 6 months but this issue kind of dragged at points and Tombstone's feelings on Robbie & Randy are suddenly the exact opposite of where he was just at. Hope it all makes sense in the end.

The story was so generic that I just felt like I was going threw the motions bored reading but there were some good banter/character moments but not as good as the previous issue.

This issue shows what a critical piece Jorge Jimenez's art is to this run. I'm enjoying Tynion's run but do see how things get dragged out and parts feel boring or cheesy without being elevated by Jimenez's art.

I'm a big fan of Gene Luen Yang and think every human should read his perfect Superman Smashes the Klan and have also been enjoying his latest Shang Chi runs, but his start to this series has been a huge disappointment. The fantastic art and occasional funny lines just aren't enough to make up for what's feeling more and more over a jumbled story that's losing my interest more each issue. Hopefully once this arc is done the series picks up.

Really enjoyed the story and art of the Batman/Zatanna story thought the talk between Superman and Batman was very jarring and off character. The Wight Witch was readable but very cliché story trope for a character that doesn't feel warranted to have a past with Bruce. The last two were the standard throw away stories we seem to get in this book and won't be reading the rest of those.

Nightwing (2016) #106 Oct 18, 2023

In my eyes Dick Grayson and Superman are the example of what we should all strive to be. But a huge flaw to this series is how Tom Taylor is constantly having everyone say what a great guy he is that it's tiresome and using the legend Marv Wolfman to do so for pages at the end was too much. I still enjoy the series but miss the days where Taylor excelled at showing how great these characters are rather than constantly saying it where it just comes off as pandering for no reason. I've also been fairly neutral on all the super hero shirts and mugs they have, but that meme shirt was just painfully corny.

Started out good and I was excited to see Luke cleanse the crystal but once he enters the "evil" memories of the kyber the story really drops off. After all the warnings of this extremely dark all encompassing pain from the memories he'd endure, we're left with a very mundane boring alt reality that is just boring let alone threatening. Still decent overall but I really hope the story picks up significantly next issue.

It’s cool that Luke got the green kyber by cleansing a red one but the way it was displayed with a corny villain was a shame. The fights with Vader were cool and made more sense but the Ahsoka book told the cleansing of her kyber in a far superior way.

There were too many new characters thrown at us all at once that it makes it hard to care about the group dynamics at this point. The art is ok but has a style that plays more to a goofy story which really makes it even harder to take this Dark Droids "event" serious as it's been underwhelming from the start. All the Star Wars books are struggling from lack luster stories due to treading water.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2011) #111 Nov 20, 2020

The IDW TMNT run has been truly special and Sophie Campbell's art and writing have been a huge part of that but this time crisis/QNA story line isn't working for me. Everything just feels to convoluted and all over the place losing any tension or my concern for the outcome. There is still some good character work and emotional moments such as how devastated I was to see Lita de-mutated. Great art too. I really hope it all comes together in the final issue.

Got to say this series is proving to be a let down with each issue. It feels stretched too thin with too many new characters or random side missions that aren't interesting so far. The art is also pretty disappointing for a big crossover as the TMNT tie in issues art is stronger. I'm really hoping Waltz ties it all together by the end.

Overall balanced to have a slightly a positive impression but these Alliance issues really don't feel worth the price to read.

So disappointing but what I should have expected from the writer as I tend to find most of her stories not for me. Besides the extensive dialogue (which I don't mind when interesting), the characters don't seem to be acting in line with their current status in the books. Magneto especially comes across as his 90's villain phase and the art also further depicts characters acting more aggressive than you'd expect in some situations. Hopefully the other issues improve as an X-Event in this current status of great books should be exciting to read.

Best issue in a while.

At least Nauck's art is fantastic.

Coming from a bad run, the main story finally has some excitement mostly thanks to Ed McGuinness' dynamic art. The main story is still flawed but certainly an improvement from previous issues. The short stories are your typical cliché stories lacking substance that vary from ok to poor.

Hands down the best written issue of this awful run by Wells as he actually took an issue seriously and when he added comedy, it was actually funny. This felt like his writing on Hellions were I really enjoyed his work which initially had me excited he was given ASM. Hopefully he finally starts taking this run somewhat seriously for the remaining arc of his tenure.

I'm not a fan of defining the Joker's past but the story of the past timeline does have my interest and presents some interesting ideas but I'm not really into the future timeline. The final issue has a lot of work to do to make this a worthwhile story and I really hope he sticks the landing.

It's a shame we have to sacrifice an issue of the current run for a "special milestone" issue that's nothing more in story than an annual would be. The story is basically the another typical generic story that is often found in annuals or milestone issues. That said, at least Zdarsky does a solid job in execution that it was a decent enough read where many of these type of stories lack any substance.

The story is fun but the art is too distracting and taking away from the story.

I love the dynamic between Damian and Bruce, but there are some really corny things happening such as Man-Bat not dying because he was preserved in a cocoon due to all the formulas he's taken. Also making Man-Bat the "big bad" with Shush as his stooge, really make that character a chump and will be awful if she actually ends up being Damian's former teacher.

This book has tons of potential with a fun team with ranging personalities but all the jumping around in this first issue took away from the flow so I'm hoping with the plot now established, the next issue will improve.

This is a fun series but is way too busy with too many things going on to focus on any character development.

Thought this story has gone on for far too long, I'm doing my best to give each issue it's fair chance and thought this was a pretty good issue. The art was lacking but at least it appears Ram V now has a sense of direction for the story and hopefully gets to a satisfactory conclusion.

Yay, Ram V's tyrannical ruling over Detective Comics is over! Jokes aside, this issue did have some good moments especially with Mr. Freeze but that doesn't make up for this story line being at least 12 issues too long so I can't applaud these last few decent issues for finally giving us something.

I liked how we got an issue to focus on the characters' mental and emotional status with everything they've been dealing with but some of the dialogue felt somewhat heavy handed or unnatural. The art was ok and it was nice to have a change in style for a story like this where facial expressions were really needed to convey their emotions but some facial features were pretty jarring. I also really hope we get some resolution to Rahne's son as she seems to be at an emotional stand still the whole series.

There were some good character moments with Bruce, Dick, and Barbara in this but the Deadman training scenes just weren't doing much for me.

This issue was pretty revealing to how dragged out this run has been and how hollow some of these plotlines really were. This conclusion to the story felt rushed for a series that spun it's wheels on the Heartless plot with some cheesy moments. Still a decent issue but just disappointing for a writer I I used to love. His latest stuff hasn't been up to form to what he did in Injustice and the side stories for DCeased. Hopefully he gets back to his best on Detective with high stake stories with emotional weight.

Each issue just seems to be losing me as the whole quick to condemn people to the pit over minor things doesn't gel with the other books. I do see Xavier as a very questionable character but feel he'd just mind wipe the kid rather than tossing him in the pit. But I did highly appreciate the historical facts sprinkled into the story as well as showing what those betrayed by their nation/public justice system have to overcome and how I'd feel if it happened to me which elevated this issue from a 6.5 to a 7 for me.

I've been a big fan of this series but feels it's fell off the track and has been way too rushed and overloaded with characters & plots that have really made the issues feel jarring/boring. With such a chaotic tone with nothing happening besides non-stop fighting each issue, it's a real disappointment if this series can't stick the landing and give us a good wrap up to the Kindred story with great character development.

The hand wavy fix to the Humanimals was pretty lame but I found the rest of the issue to be solid. The Puzzle Man was a good joke of a villain that adds a goofy yet creative way to mix in puzzles for younger readers to enjoy. But then Slott added weight to his threat level when he started erasing the picture of Bailey's mom I was genuinely devastated.

The Darth Vader runs at Marvel were always equal or superior in caliber to the main Star Wars ongoing but lately these issues have been so mediocre that I'm really hoping the story picks up and gets back the quality we've been used to.

Though this takes place between Empire and Jedi where Vader eventually turns back to the light, this story's focus of him remembering the good in him to save Sabe is a bit much and would take away from his ultimate sacrifice to save his son Luke.

As a huge fan of the series as well as Sophie Campbell, this latest story arc has been disappointing and the series has lost the excitement it's steadily maintained since issue 1. I'ma huge fan of slowing down the pace for character work and am very grateful Alopex and Raph's relationship is getting focus again but the last few issues just felt a little watered down. With some good seeds having been planted, I'm hoping the story picks up to high level we expect from this series.

The art of the fist part of the story is great with a cool anime style that's very dynamic to really give the fight a sense of energy on the page. The story is fairly basic but I was fine with it to finally get some more Alopex in the series without some of the jarring issues I felt with the last two Alliance issues. Decent issue in what's so far been a really disappointing "event."

The art of the main story was fantastic with a cliché story that was decent enough but continues the earlier trend of average (at best) stories with some characters acting out of character. The back up story continues to be a dud with jarring art.

I enjoyed the issue but the fact that this team is supposed to be the replacing the Justice League and the story read more like an episode of Captain Planet is a problem. Hopefully Beast Wars elevates the stakes to give them a major threat.

I really like a lot of this but Xander's explanation doesn't quite work and it sucks how Tom Taylor can't let any hero make a questionable decision anymore.

I love the nefarious political and military industrial complex commentary smartly being played out in the story but the issue itself feels so dry and emotionless that it felt like a chore to read. The stiff art and color pallet used also lend to a lifeless read. With that said there's still interesting themes being explored that I can stick with this for the final issue.

The biggest flaw is the terrible premise that all these people are being deported and murdered as the result of a bar brawl with one Amazonian. There should have been a more high stakes event to set off such events. Either way, I can roll with this and try to be optimistic with King's run as Wonder Woman has been plagued with terrible writers for too long and any change of direction is welcome at this point.

This was a decent issue but some jarring moments that were way too much much like the demeaning talk of Steve Treavor and the over the top stripping of masculinity stuff. The narration is far better than typical King but this trop is starting to get old 3 issues in. That said I'm still into the story and the back up was fun with great art.

This was a good issue but the over narration is really taking away from the story and if it keeps going this way will really make this series a slog to read. Tom King should never write Damian or Jon as he has no voice for the characters and just writes them as arguing brats which is painful to read.

This continues the trend of a being a slog to read due to the heavy narration but in the end King gets to some solid feels for both Diana and Cheetah. However the back issue continues the trend of King being the worst writer of Damian and Jon ever and I'm really hoping other creators don't mistake these awful portrayals to be accurate for these characters in future stories. King portrayal of the Wonder girls is pretty brutal too especially his writing on Yara. Seems he has no clue she's grew up in the US and has her confused for a caveman.

This was actually a fairly solid issue aside from some of the personalities and voices being off. There's some unfortunate character regression but nothing egregious that can't be fixed or explained as the series continues.

Gillen does a decent job reveling how things have come to play but I found that I've lost my interest. I loved Gillen's Immortal run but I feel the story has just become so complex and the Krakoa era's become so over bloated that this final rush to the finish of stories just has me eager for a new era for the X-Men. Gillen's work is still the highlight of the line and a breath of fresh air compared to Dugan's issues.

This issue was a vast improvement over the fist issue. Though the story plot isn't very interesting or original, Simone does a great job with Clark, Lois, and Jimmy's voices which added some much needed depth to the story. The back up was painful with Rowell's take on Lois. At least Rowell handled Clark properly rooting on the pogo stick girl.

I really enjoyed the issue but did find some of the scenes like Yara being able to sneak into a top level Presidential meeting to be pushing it a little too far. The art was great too but there were some scenes that were a little confusing.

This book's just a good time and glad Josie Campbell was given the chance to write these characters. Perfect balance to the dry tone to King's Wonder Woman.

This arc may be good but really struggles with bad timing. Batman being "dead" after just coming back in Crisis and too much multi-verse focus going on everywhere, really makes it hard to buy into another one. But the issue was interesting and better than what we're getting in Detective so I'm positive overall but would have been better if Zdarsky adjusted his plans accounting for what's just happened in the DCU.

I'm a sucker for Bruce & Selina's relationship so this worked for me. Could've used a different scene than the beach where Tom King had them taking a vacation while Bane took over Gotham and killed Alfred though...

Kelly Thompson is exactly what DC needs. I've been eager for her to come over to DC for a while as I feel she's the best female writer at the big 2 and DC really lacks quality writers on their female characters' books. Birds of Prey is perfectly suited for her style and had a decent start that I'm looking forward to seeing how it plays out. Hoping/expecting she evolves the team dynamics and character relationships further as it continues. Though it's not my favorite, I really liked the art and have to applaud the classic comic feel Romero brings to the table to make this book unique and the colors compliment the art extremely well.

This issue was much stronger than the start to the new arc and is more in line with what I was expecting from Ram V. He thankfully dialed back the cringe "poetic" dialogue/monologue from characters that would never speak that way and really hoping that continues to not take away from the story he's telling.

Finally a decent issue after over a year of meandering. Ram V is clearly a capable writer and seems best served for limited series where he's forced to stay focused rather than attempt to wax poetic for years at the fans expense.

Certainly the best issue of a run that has went on way too long to sustain any cohesion or excitement. Really liked all the villains rising up to reclaim what's theirs along with Batman taking back Gotham but the lack of investment in the new characters takes away from moments that could have been great. Still solid and good issue in itself.

I'm still devastated Jeremy Adams' run was cut far too short and replacing him with Si Spurrier hurt even more as I'm usually not a fan of his work. That said, this was a solid issue to set up some interesting threats while also doing a decent job spending time with the Flash family which Adams excelled at. The art is also fantastic and the freaky scenes are some of Deodato's best work.

I really hope Josie Campbell sticks the landing on this as I feel she may be the best writer DC has to finally provide a readable Wonder Woman series post Greg Rucka. Her track record from her work on New Champion of Shazam and the AMAZING My Adventures of Superman, already show she's a far better suited writer for the character than Tom King (all set with a depressing Wonder Woman story where half the writing is just old song lyrics).

Good story but really wish they had a different artist for the main story.

The Heartless origin would've been solid without making it so ridiculous how he witnessed the Grayson's death and that was the moment of inspiration for his life going forward. I can roll with this one but there seems to be a trend lately of too many new characters having major connections to the hero's origin that it takes away from the impact when done right.

Though the whole third act of the Krakoa era has been a disappointing mess, Gillen was the one strong writer of this phase and did his best to find a clean conclusion that tied up most the ongoing plot points and honoring where it all began in House/Powers of X. R. B. Silva did an amazing job on art and there were so many unbelievably detailed panels.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2011) #148 Feb 20, 2024

This issue was a total mixed bag for me. Sophie excels in emotional moments throughout the issue but this whole story arc has become so convoluted and disjointed that the issue felt so bloated with hand wavy solutions that it felt like a jumbled rush of a final issue. We did get some nice emotional beats with the future versions of the turtle fam throughout the arc, but it was a shame to exclude all the current timeline turtles in the final issue. In the end this was still a good issue full of amazing art and genuine emotional moments. The whole creative team involved in this epic run deserve applause and I could not be more grateful for being treated to such amazing stories. The IDW run is my favorite of all the TMNT comics which is high praise and I can't wait to see where the next phase goes.

I'm so glad we have this companion series to keep up with critical side characters like (Karai, Casey, & April) while Aaron focuses on his tale with the turtles. That said I felt both stories to be good but lacking in the excitement you'd want in a first issue. Thankfully each story ends with compelling situations for the following issues and I'm looking forward to what's next. Both Federici and Santaluco absolutely bring it with fantastic art that really elevates the issue.

Personally the art style has not been my favorite and the panels have been too tight and up close during fights that it's not that clear what's going on. Still a good issue and interested to see how it all wraps up.

Though I really enjoyed the issue and think Apex Ava is a great villain for Beast Boy, it was pretty lame to start off the reveal and battle with Evil Raven only to have everyone quickly mind wiped and just shift to a different story.

This was a solid issue and I liked the resolution of Raven having to embrace her dark and light sides to be whole. The problem is that Taylor continually has all conflicts end with talks in both Titans and Nightwing so it diminishes the affect of when he puts such resolutions to good use.

Dan Mora is one of my favorite artists of all time but I felt like the art got very confusing during the big action scenes which took away from the story's impact at times. Still a great issue and so curious to see how Jon makes out after this.

Solid issue with some great moments but the pacing was so fast to fully get immersed in the story. Mora's one of the best artists out there but some scenes got too chaotic to clearly identify what's happening.

Though the whole beginning seemed offensively nonsensical, a few parts made me laugh so I can't criticize it that harshly. In the end the book got back to serious story telling again that led to major revelations for Ben to learn and should continue an intriguing story. Ziglar just needs to dial down on the attempted jokes that fail at comedy but excel at making great characters like Doc Oc, Colleen, and Misty come across as jokes. All said and done the book averaged out for a solid issue thanks to the end.

I was pumped for this run when it was announced Zeb Wells was the author as his Hellions run was amazing but I have to admit I was devastated to hear Romita Jr. would be the artist as I found his latest work on Superman to be jarringly terrible. That said I was pleasantly surprised the find that he really did a great job (for what his style is) on this #1 and hope coming back to Marvel is what he needed. Overall this was a solid first issue where there are a few off-putting things at play but knowing Zeb's previous work am confident will for a valid reason that will be addressed/resolved as the story unfolds. This issue does exactly what a first issue should do: spark curiosity, be entertaining, and give us an idea of where the series is headed. I will say I HATE how Marvel just won't let Peter & MJ be happily married as it clearly works brilliantly for Louis & Clark. Else world stories nail at how fun the family aspect of poppa Peter with lil' Annie can be a blast but unfortunately appears it doesn't seem that editorial will allow that for one reason or another though Miles already fills the slot as the young Spider-Man.

I was shocked to actually enjoy this. Note that I read on Marvel Unlimited so my review doesn't reflect the cost of the issue. Wells has been way too "silly" in this series (especially the insufferable Inferno "event") but this issue toed the line enough on the goofiness to have some fun without being nonsense. Wells had a good balance of storytelling with comedic beats in Hellions but has yet to carry that quality over in this series. Hoping things pick up though I haven't loved many of the directions he's been going. I even liked most the back ups.

There were some awesome moments in this issue but the portrayal of Damian as being so naïve was just awful/unacceptable. Tim is clearly Zdarsky's favorite Robin which is fine and leads to great moments for him in this issue and throughout the run, but playing Damian like a fool isn't needed. I still was able to just accept it as I'm really into this story and Bruce finally has accepted he's stronger with his family.

I really enjoyed this issue as stories like this better the series rather than some of the other other-worldly threats that just didn't seem to fit. This issue gave Jed MacKay a chance to write good witty dialogue that is fun and shows how great Felicia is.

Great start and I'm really hoping the quality here continues. I'm hoping Hill has refined his craft as I've seen potential in some of his previous stuff but he struggled with jarring dialogue and dragged out plot lines.

Solid issue but I have no clue who this version of Dick Grayson that's been written in the series is. From not worrying when the league dies to now giving up hope, it's not in line with the character.

Perfect simple one shot issue that's plenty of fun. Sometimes attempts at stories like this fall flat especially when a series isn't providing stories of substance, but after the last few issues being so strong while actually tying into Dark Crisis (unlike the other "tie ins") a one shot break to have some fun fits perfect.

Really liked Adam's "Almost Got 'Im" story for a fun one shot but really wish he had a stronger finish to his fantastic run and devastated that it's come to a close. The Bart story was great but the Spurrier story further increases my concern with him replacing Adam's as his writing style is a terrible fit for these characters.

Solid issue after the last few have struggled. Amancay Nahuelpan's art is fantastic and far exceeds the cover art.

Another really good issue with great art. Love having the Arrow family together as always but "Red Canary" just has to go. There's no logic to that character being involved in this story and she just takes away focus for the established characters we already don't get enough of.

Though most of this issue was just recap, it gave a nice happy conclusion to all the struggles Oliver has dealt with lately to transition him into a new story direction.

This was an awesome series but felt the 2 flashback stories in this issue were by far the weakest of them all. But the front and back ends were great with fantastic art making this a solid ending to the series. This will certainly be a trade I recommend to friends who don't typically read comics.

This was a great issue and much better than the previous batch. It feels like Josie Campbell finally figured out the tone she wants for the series and think she found the perfect balance of silly fun along with a good ongoing story direction. Hoping the rest of the issues are this constant.

Best issue in a while. Fun and not overly convoluted. Hope it maintains this groove.

Best issue in a while. Lots of fun but this book really needs to finish the Tonga & Lash story as it's bogging the series down.

Great issue that perfectly captured the essence of what this book was capable at when at it's best, a fun cheesy action story with the scoundrels in the Star Wars universe. The problem with the series was that it would get diluted with too many new characters constantly being thrown at you without you ever giving you a reason to get invested in these characters or it would drag on side stories with the less compelling characters. In the end the series was enjoyable but nothing special. All the books of this era have significantly struggled by dragging out the timeline before Jedi too long resulting in mediocre stories. The previous era was far superior and hope the next phase of series can recapture that magic.

Though this series has been somewhat of a mess and should have been shorter, this issue itself was a blast. The story is pretty ridiculous but Slott does a good job wrapping things up with lots of fun. Slott does get fairly goofy in some of his stories but the jokes usually work and don't ruin the issue unlike the awful writing of Zebb Wells in ASM. This series and Spider-Boy served as great alternative stories to read until we finally get a new writer on ASM.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2011) #129 Jul 21, 2022

It's unfortunate that the art of late has been an issue for me. Pablo Tunica is clearly a talented artist but he draws everyone with the proportions of little kids. The cover alone looks like a child dressed as Shredder or as everyone was de-aged in the story. The facial expressions have also been quite jarring, especially Alopex which is a shame as Sophie is writing a solid issue with some strong emotional moments that the art is really diminishing. A shame as the art is good aside from those issues but they're so significant it's really hampering my experience of these latest issues. Hopefully others aren't struggling with it as much as I love this series and want the readership to stay strong.

Solid issue filling in the scenes for the Armageddon Game while giving the side characters some focus. A big stand out for this issue is the fantastic artwork of Fero Pe. Personally it felt like the art dipped below the usual high standards of the series as of late, so I had to applaud the great art for this issue.

I can clearly see this direction being divisive and your opinion will vastly depend how open you are to the concept. This book is the farthest from any conception of what an X-Men book is and is more in line with an anime/manga series. That said, I thought the first issue was great and really looking forward to more.

I'm really liking the story as well as the art and tone but we really need to get some answers next issue or the story will feel rudderless.

Remaining cautiously optimistic as I haven't liked King's writing since the early stages of his Batman run but this was another good issue. Though most of DC's backups of late have been awful, this one's interesting and I'm very excited to see Josie Campbell given a Yara Flora story and think she'd be the perfect writer to give that character the run she deserves.

Finally the Avengers have been freed from clutches of Jason Aaron! Great first issue and so good to be able to read the Avengers again. Jed MacKay has a solid track record and so far seems to be the perfect fit for the book. Really looking forward to seeing where this story goes and what else he's got in store.

The story itself was fun but Dan Mora's art is on a whole other level and is some of the best art I've ever seen. This series is truly special with the combo of Mora's breathtaking art and Waid's fantastic voice for these characters.

The story is a blast but Mora's art is just breath taking. This is a truly special run with the dynamic duo of Waid and Mora firing on all cylinders.

This book is a breath of fresh air compared to Gotham War and the played out rift amongst the bat family that's been a never ending cycle for too long in recent runs. Though his recent "events" have been awful, Joshua Williamson has done such great work with Damian and he truly understands the character so I'm hoping he continues to write enough Damian stories that other writers will pick up on what makes him so great. My only problem with the issue was the art. The artist clearly has talent and I love anime influenced style but there's something about it that's hard to follow at times and took away from the issue. It seems to zoom in too far during the action and you can't good sense of what's going on.

Though the Scooby-Doo-esque "let me explain to you how I did it" beginning was a little cheesy, the issue was solid and really picked up as it went along. Really happy to see the consistency between not just the Bat/Gotham books but even Swamp Thing and how things are tying together and impacting each other.

Great issue that's finally back to the high standard this run had before Devil's Reign. It's a shame the Fist arc went on so long that it really diminished the run and hoping that the rest of the story keeps up this momentum.

This is far and away the best series Marvel has right now. I'm really excited to see Ryan North's career advance as he's already one of, if not, the best writer at Marvel this early in his career. Something Marvel is in desperate need of.

Continues to be best book Marvel's putting out. Writing, art, and colors are all amazing and this series is something special I hope gets a long run.

Slott just knows how to write great Spider-Man stories and nails a perfect balance of comedy and character work (unlike the current Spider-Man run) for a series that I'm excited for more.

Spider-Man: Life Story Collected Aug 30, 2021

This series started out so strong and felt like the last few issues gradually lost some steam but was happy to see he stuck the landing in this final issue. The trope of the heroes getting taken over by symbiotes feels so played out with recent Marvel stories, but was a good way to relieve Peter from being guilty by law for his crimes. The play of Johnny disguising as Peter to take out the symbiote was clever and liked Sue's presence here too.

As a huge fan of the original run, I was a disappointed with the first arc and nervous for the series but the last issue picked up and I really feel that Wong found Aphra’s voice and how to write the character in this issue. The first arc had to many additional characters that seemed to bog down the issues taking attention away from Aphra. I also have to praise Mikul Jung’s amazing art and has drawn the best Aphra of the current series by a landslide. Really hope this is the turning point for a great series.

Easily my favorite book going at DC right now. Williamson is doing a fantastic job of harnessing the flavor of the animated series and classic characters while also expanding the world and introducing compelling new villains. My only concern is how awful Williamson's events have been and I really hope he doesn't drop the ball on what could be a classic run. Also have to applaud Williamson on putting in a recap page which is needed throughout DC's line.

Waltz's story was really cool too and so happy that we'll have a companion book like Mutant Nation to hopefully give us great side stories like we had in TMNT Universe for our tertiary characters.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Armageddon Game #1 Sep 29, 2022

Best issue of the event yet and finally has a sense of excitement.

Great issue and satisfying conclusion. Overall the Armageddon Game was good but could have been so much stronger with a tighter story and cast. The addition of all the new space characters really dragged the story down and really wish they were not included so we'd have a stronger/less convoluted story focusing on the characters that had purpose to the story. In the end I don't feel like the story was worth all the money spent on the oversized issues and tie ins and would have played much better being a prolonged story in the main series. Going to stick with the next few issues but think this may be a jumping off point as the series doesn't have the magic it had for the first 100 issues (which is a huge accomplishment for any series).

Wow this issue impressed me and I’m really excited where this goes. I didn’t read much of the Ultimate universe aside from Mike’s and the elements that tied into Hickman’s FF and Avengers run that led into Secret Wars so I wasn’t hyped for this but gave the first issue a chance. Once we see what the maker appears to be up to, I was fascinated to see where this goes..

This was a perfect blend of a horror comic and a goofy buddy action flick. The art was great and the mix of black & white for the monsters where Elza was in color looked cool but lacked any logic and felt like a cheap gimmick referencing the show. Just hope future artist don't think Werewolf by Night needs to be B&W just because one TV special did it.

Amazing art and solid writing. Really looking forward to get more Yara Flor.

Solid issue but the back up was fantastic and probably the best thing Tom King's done in a while.

This issue was great and wish we could have had this much fun throughout the series. I understand how he wanted to show there being a rif between the group to have them overcome it by the end, but the previous issues were too much of that and took out my enjoyment.

Thank god Gotham War is over and Zdarsky's run can continue without being dragged down by Tini Howard and Matthew Rosenburg's terrible writing. This issue gets right back to a compelling high stakes story with the Joker that nicely ties back the Chip's The Knight and Morrison's Zur-En-Arrh. Though the Joker can feel overplayed, the problem is with too many inept writers telling Joker stories so for me this is a breath of fresh air to have a capable writer using him. The back up is also great and nice to not only have Zdarsky writing it, but excellent that there's more to be done with Vandall Savage without being bogged down by the Gotham War. Jimenez's art is brilliant as always.

Batman (2016) #140 Jan 2, 2024

This issue was fantastic and feel that my patience with this run is now being rewarded with some very compelling ideas and connections. I could feel my adrenaline pumping as the story progressed and was at the edge of my seat the whole read. Additionally, Jimenez's art is brilliant and elevates the issue to another level. Jimenez is not only my favorite current artist in comics but will go down as one of the best Batman artists in history which is murderers row of talent.

I was initially very skeptical on where this issue was going and didn't like the idea of "Bruce Jr." but as the issue progressed it opened a fantastic self examination for Bruce to reflect on his mistakes and what truly matters, family. After years of writers dragging Batman through the mud, pushing away his loved ones, and being broke; Zdarsky put in the work to get things back on track and unite the Batfam. I really hope his runs continues and with this focus post Absolute Power as it would be brutal for another writer head in another overplayed direction. This issue had so much heart in the end and was a highlight of recent Batman issues over the past few years.

Adams just keeps showing he's one of the best writers in the business and seems is on track to be a legend in the making. I really hope DC recognizes this and signs him on for a long term deal as I really want more DC stories from him. Adams delivers so much fun and adventure while keeping the stakes high. Another exciting issue providing depth as a tie in pushing the main story further with pay offs to plot points established early in the run.

This book blew me away and felt like an instant classic in just the first few issues. Has all the elements that I look for in a great horror story from interesting characters, intriguing storyline, witches, pantheons, monsters, ghosts, suspense, and that a constant uneasy tension throughout. On top of that the art is just brilliant and compliments the story to perfection. Amazing character designs and expressions with a beautiful water color finish. I can’t recommend this book enough and had to leave this praising review before I dove into volume 2.

Jeremy Adams is hands down one of the best writers DC has and I hope they recognize it. This series had a perfect balance of fun, suspense, and heart. The ending with the Flash family at the end was great though it got me upset how Adams was robbed of the main Flash book to make way for Spurrier's awful story.

I have to applaud Vita Ayala on this issue and her work with the Shadow King. As she's a writer I often find to be more of a miss than hit, she's done a solid job on this series. Only nit pick is the jarring redundant lines from Magik but the brilliant art secures this issue as a 9 for me.

Joshua Williamson has been doing god's work finally thoughtfully advancing Damien where he keeps being reset every time a new creative team handles him. Hopefully this continues with other writers now that it seems Williamson has been handed the keys to current/upcoming DC status. Only knock to this issue was the lack of a compelling reason for Ra's turning himself in.

Great issue that wrapped up the city at war arch leaving plenty of new directions for the book to go. The conclusion felt a little rushed but the resulting emotional ending scene after totally made up for it.

Man this was a fantastic issue to a great new arc. I was worried the series was starting to drag but really feel like it’s back to some new exciting ideas. I was also very skeptical of Tunica’s art in his first issue but feel he’s really found his groove dialing back the jarring facial expressions and does a great job playing with a horror tone. Can’t wait for the next issue!

Wow, what a fantastic issue! Sophie became one of my favorite artists right from her early issues in Northampton and her she is returning as writer this time with another truly special issue. Love all the mysticism and character work done here and can't wait for more. Also have to give props to Tunica on getting better at the proportions, which really took me out of the last issue, and hope the trend continues as he certainly has talent.

Wow this new direction is setting the stage for so many unique stories to come. So much to like here with the feel of a crime comic then adding in Barlow into the mix for some horror elements. I also love to see Mikey getting to bug to explore beyond the city and makes total sense for his personality. I wasn’t sure about this new direction last issue but now I’m sold and can’t wait for more.

Another fantastic issue under Aaron's belt. I was so relieved to see how much he understands these characters and knows that Mikey isn't just a "party dude" but is the heart and emotional center of the turtles. I was fully captivated all issue and so appreciative how accurately Mikey was fleshed out throughout the issue. Though I don't love Albuquerque's design of the turtles (with the tall foreheads), his art was so dynamic with such expressive faces.

Great start to lead into the main event. Does a solid job as an entry point for new readers while still keeping the recap info entertaining for those who've been down since issue one and gives a clear direction to where the event will go and who the major players will be. Really excited to see where it all goes.

I've been somewhat disappointed with Taylor's latest writing as I have such high expectations for his work and he really delivered here. Major events and consequences with that classic TT emotional and fun moments with perfect characterization. DC & Marvel should also learn that this story was also great due to a quick release schedule and didn't got bogged down with tons of bad or pointless tie ins.

This is the only current Marvel book that I get excited for a new issue. North is doing a fantastic job balancing science fiction concepts, character work, twilight zone nostalgia, and super hero action that are also just simply fun to read. Really hoping North gets to have a long run as this hands down the best Fantastic Four run in the modern era next to Hickman's. I also have to praise the beautiful art and coloring of each issue.

Going back reading Waid’s run is a pure joy and this issue is perfection! Waid gets Wally and his afterward on the issue just further expresses that, the heart of this series is Wally and Linda’s relationship and the epic battles are a bonus the hit all our emotions. Just brilliant and had to leave a review rather than shout my joy from the rooftop like a fool.

No one captures the soul and heart of a turtles story better than Sophie Campbell’s art and writing. This issues took the reflective time needed after the high stakes city at war to breath and assess where each character is at and establish a new direction to come. Perfect 10/10 for the art and writing and can’t wait to follow the next step in the journey the whole IDW team has masterfully given us to enjoy.

We couldn't have asked for a better first issue than this. After following a Legendary run, Aaron really had to bring it with something fresh and exciting while honoring the previous stories and he nailed it. The time jump was a great play to add lots of mystery and intrigue while the story itself is tense and dynamic opening the future to many exciting new directions. Joelle Jones' art is just breathtaking and on a whole other level than the fantastic work she did on Batman and Catwoman. So great to have Ronda Pattison back in the mix as she continues to add to her legacy of brilliant coloring in the next phase. This is a must read and a perfect jumping on point for new and life long readers.

The Bone Orchard Mythos: Ten Thousand Black Feathers #4 Nov 2, 2023

This book is amazing and highly recommended for any fan of the Twilight Zone and/or Rod Serling. I always loved the show since a kid but having gone back to rewatch the whole series as an adult, I gained a new appreciation for how ahead of it's time it was with concepts that still hold up to this day. What was most striking was that I never realized that Rod Serling wrote the majority of episodes which quickly elevated him amongst the gods of science fiction in my eyes. Needless to say I had to read this book the second I discovered it and can gladly say it exceeded my expectations. Rod lived such an incredible life and to follow his journey to see how his ideas grew and formulated was fascinating. The book is written with perfect pacing while allowing the art to tell what it's there to do. The art is fantastic and the perfect style to give the feel of early black & white television.
