This was an awesome opening issue. I love that Remender went super light on dialogue, letting the story essentially tell itself through Araujo's brilliant artwork. You could sense the emotions and tension even though very little was actually being said. I'm very intrigued to see where this story will go, but this was an extremely solid start.

Remender is usually known for weaving the main character's inner thoughts through each issue in the form of journal entry-like narration. This mostly silent comic is a change from the norm for him, but gosh am I loving it. The art is so on point, and the story that Remender is crafting is suspenseful and mysterious. I love being dropped little hints of who our main character is and what his past is like without being spoon-fed everything. Another brilliant issue.

Brutal, tense, awesome. We're slowly getting more answers.

Man...the dude with the green car is creepy AF. What a great story this is so far. I'm fully engrossed.

This felt like an episode of Breaking Bad. So, so good.

Remender's use of silence throughout this series has been nothing short of masterful. After the most violent and action-packed issue of the series, we get the calmest and quietest of issues, and it works so dang well. Nothing much happens, but it's a much-deserved reprieve for Sonny and Xavier (even though we know it won't last), and it provides a meaningful opportunity for us to just take a break and enjoy their relationship. Araujo's art is brilliant here, as it has been all series.

Wow...

A satisfying conclusion to a brief and simple but well executed series. Another winner on Remender's resume.

This was a really good Tony-centric issue with incredible art, though it would probably resonate most with those who have been reading Iron Man's current run.

This was a pretty good Jean-centric one-shot with some fabulous art. Compliments the story nicely, even if it's not essential to it.

This was a good issue, Gillen writes these one-shots well. I enjoy the focus on sole characters and delving into their motivations and pasts, but unfortunately this one was brought down by sub-par art.

Unfortunately the art isn't very good, cause this is otherwise a solid tie-in.

I thought this was a really good setup for what's to come. Only downside is the art.

This was actually a really good epilogue to the A.X.E. story. Tied things up nicely. Art wasn't amazing though.

Good grief, the sheer scope of this event is staggering and I'm all the way down for it. Incredible art too.

This was bloody incredible. What an event. I think my favourite part was the Progenitor judging each individual panel by panel. Boy did Matt Murdock's ever get me right in the feels... Doom's was perfectly spot on, and Miles Morales' was absolutely delightful. Would've been cool to see more characters judged. Like maybe Moon Knight, I think they could've done something cool with him and his several identities.

Holy crap. This event is so good.

Not really sure why this got the amount of hate it did. It wasn't the best thing I've ever read, and sure there was a notable lack of Ultron in a supposedly Ultron-centric story, but I thought it was perfectly fine, and I even thought the ending was quite good, albeit a little confusing in the last few pages. Overall, an entertaining read.

Story was okay, writing was decent, art was great. I'm a big fan Spurrier's but this wasn't his best. His script seemed a bit scattered, and the characters weren't very likeable.

Well jeez...this kicked things into a new gear. I agree with my fellow reviewer that Samantha is easily the most likeable of our three misfit teens and it's not even close. This was such a powerful issue, Spurrier did a fantastic job with Samantha's story here. Very well done. And Chris Wildgoose killed it with the art.

I would've rated this issue a half point or two lower, but holy smokes that ending...

Man...what started out just kinda meh turned into something surprisingly powerful. This wasn't a perfect series, I definitely had my problems with it, but Spurrier crafted a compelling story here. And I have to give major props to Chris Wildgoose who churned out some absolutely gorgeous art throughout this series.

Beautifully written, beautifully drawn. Not much else to say.

This comic is delightfully quirky. And the art is so very great.

I loved this. It was wacky in all the best ways. And Quitely is simply crushing it with his incredible art.

Brilliant.

Beautifully written, beautifully drawn.

This was pretty good, though it doesn't seem to advance the story or have a lot in common with what came before it.

The Bizarro American national anthem was one of the greatest and most glorious things I've ever seen in my entire life. This issue was hilarious and brilliant.

This was great. Loved everything about this issue.

Absolutely beautiful.

Amazing. Brilliantly sets the stage for a bombastic and emotional finale.

A solid finale to an excellent Superman story.

This was absolutely phenomenal in every way. Haunting, beautiful, tense, gripping... I don't even mind that Aquaman was barely in this issue. This was simply stunning work from Ram V, and I cannot understate how PERFECT Christian Ward's art is for this story. I knew from the moment I found out that he was drawing an Aquaman book that it would be a perfect fit, and I was not wrong. I was left gaping at the pages with the Kraken. Arguably Ward's best work. This book was an EASY 10/10.

This was such a good read. Powerful story, gorgeous art...another winner from Ram V.

Five similarly-worded 10/10 reviews from accounts that were all created today and have only reviewed this comic and nothing else...hmmmmmm. Nothing suspicious going on here.

There was definitely too much going on here, and while I did find the dialogue a bit busy, I didn't think it was as terrible as some people seemed to. Not on par with Remender's work on Uncanny Avengers, but far from the worst thing I've read. The art was quite good too. Overall, not a bad start.

This was good. Still a bit too much going on, but felt less all over the place than last issue. Great art still.

Honestly...this issue was sick.

I thought Spider-Man was incredibly well-written in this issue; I actually laughed out loud at a couple lines. Dodson's art was a slight step down from Kubert and Yu's, but still pretty decent. I'm not sure I understand all the hate this event got. It's really not bad at all. May not be up to Remender's usual quality, but it's still enjoyable for what it is. Side note: Every cover for this series so far has been astonishingly good. Jim Cheung has been absolutely knocking it out of the park.

This wasn't a great conclusion. Art wasn't up to Jim Cheung's usual standard, the story was messy, and the dialogue wasn't great. Overall, I didn't mind this event, but it definitely left me wanting.

I think Jerome Opeña is my favourite comic artist of them all. His work is just unlike any I've ever seen. It's absolutely stunning. Hickman's script is thrilling, engaging, and epic as always. Perfect start to what I fully believe will be an unforgettable run.

This issue was friggin awesome. And Dustin Weaver's art was absolutely stellar.

This was really, really good.

"You have to marvel at their dedication. The vigor with which they throw their lives away." One of the best lines I've ever read. Hickman is a god among men in the comic industry. And Yu's artwork is top notch as per Yusual.

Great art, didn't understand much of what was going on, but knowing Hickman, it will eventually make sense and I'll have an "Ohhhhh!" lightbulb moment later on when we see the ramifications of what happened here. Hickman has a way of not making a ton of sense but still keeping you fully engaged and entertained as hell.

WOW. What. An. Issue. Only Hickman can write an issue that mostly consists of two guys sitting at a table talking and make it insanely intense and engaging, while also seamlessly integrating two parallel series' plots, and dropping a massive revelation that has huge implications going forward AND going backward. Holy smokes. Gonna need a minute after that one. Okay I'm done, on to the next issue!

My mind is in such beautiful shambles. I love it.

This is bananas.

Dang! A lot has changed, except for the fact that Hickman still writes great comics.

The rivalry between Namor and T'Challa finally comes to a head. What an issue.

Brilliant.

Stunning conclusion to Hickman's epic Avengers run.

This was utterly phenomenal. Rick Remender was already one of my favourite writers as I went into this, so I knew it was going to be good, but I didn't expect it to be THIS good. I suppose it helped that two of my all-time favourite artists also teamed up to draw this gorgeous book. Seriously...Jerome Opeña and Pepe Larraz on the same project?! That's a comic book lover's wet dream. Remender delivered a powerful story about guilt, self-loathing, and what it means to be human, and it will go down as one of my favourite comics ever.

This was really good. Daniel Acuña has always been an artist whose work I've enjoyed, but he outdoes himself here and has, in my humble opinion, never been better. Zdarsky's script was well written, and the story is interesting. Dystopian superhero futures are nothing new, but this manages to feel fresh and exciting. Looking forward to more.

I enjoyed this quite a bit, far more than I thought I would if I'm honest. I didn't know what to expect from Marc Silvestri as a writer, but he actually did a formidable job here. And of course his art is spectacular, that was never in doubt. Overall, this was a great debut and I'm hungry for more.

This is very good. Still impressed with Silvestri's writing. We all knew his art would be great, but I've been pleasantly surprised by his ability as a writer.

This was the best issue yet in my opinion. Been very, very impressed with this series so far. Silvestri is proving as capable a writer as he is an artist.

Normally the issue where the villain has their big monologue explaining all their plans and motivations is cliché at best, but for me, this worked extremely well. Fantastic penultimate issue.

I enjoyed this series so much more than I expected to and was very pleasantly surprised with Silvestri's art and writing. The dialgue worked well, the story was engaging, and the dynamic between Joker and Batman was great. Also, I found the Joker genuinely funny which was honestly quite refreshing. Most writers lean towards either super cheesy or super morbid when it comes to Joker's humor, but I thought Silvestri found the sweet spot and made him genuinely hilarious at times. Overall, this was a fantastic read and it made me hopeful for a continuation at some point in the future. The villain being still out there at the end leaves that as a possibility, so fingers crossed!

Incredible issue. A visual masterpiece from Capullo.

Already off to a better start than Neo-Year, although I gotta say...Donovan Lumos is really freaking annoying. And I know that he's supposed to be, but I'm just getting really sick of seeing him. I think he's a dumb character and he brings the story down. Otherwise, this issue was interesting and featured some stellar art from Max Dunbar.

I love the Court of Owls so I was disappointed by this mediocre issue.

I actually thought this was quite good, and that last panel was awesome.

This was honestly a pretty solid ending. I'm not gonna lie, I'm still kinda fuzzy on what Constantine's whole thought process was...but it was a decently enjoyable read nonetheless. And the art in this final issue was outstanding...some really great pages in this one.

Art was great, writing was good, story was okay. Decent start, hopefully it gets more interesting.

I don't know man...the art is great, but I'm just not jiving with this story the way I want to be. I really do want to like this, but I'm just having a hard time with it. Maybe it's because this is my first Batman Beyond comic, but I feel like that shouldn't matter. Hopefully it starts to become a little more coherent soon.

Art is good, but this issue is basically just long fight scene and a long monologue. 8/10 is probably generous.

Not a bad ending. This series didn't impress me as much as I was expecting considering the terrific art and the usually terrific writers. Hopefully Neo-Gothic is better.

This issue was absolutely amazing. King's script was on point, Marquez's art was breathtaking. The Help remains a brilliant and fascinating character. This series is what I wish King's Batman run was.

This was utterly spectacular. As someone who wasn't a fan of most of King's Batman run, I could not have been more pleasantly surprised that he crafted such a genuinely enthralling Batman story here. King made Riddler into a seriously terrifying villain and this is probably my new favourite Riddler story ever. That ending was just...so good. SO good. And Mitch Gerads' art was nothing short of perfect. Tom King haters are always gonna hate, and Batman purists who can't handle the slightest alteration from their perception of what the Dark Knight should be are gonna be thoroughly triggered by this story, but as for me, this will go down as one of my favourite Batman comics ever and another absolute masterpiece from King.

This wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. I actually was really enjoying both the art and the writing for the first two thirds, but both seemed to fall off a bit towards the end. There were a few things that bugged me: first, Harvey Dent's Dad was supposed to be 88, but the way Fernandez drew him made him look like he was in his fifties. I know this isn't really a big deal in the grand scheme, but I couldn't help but be bothered by it. Second, Batman's plan for dealing with the balloons filled with toxic gas was to throw a batarang at the glass ceiling directly above all of said balloons? I mean...are you kidding Tamaki? That might have been the thing that took me out of this book the most. Thirdly, I didn't really get the "one bad day" vibes from this one. As a collection of stories that are supposed to be in the same vein as The Killing Joke, this one just didn't seem to fit. Tom King did such a good job with the Riddler story, crafting a brilliant homage to Alan Moore's classic work, but this just seemed like a generic, standalone Two-Face story that wasn't inspired by anything. Overall, I still somewhat enjoyed this story and found it mildly entertaining, but it was certainly not without its problems.

This was hot garbage. There was honestly so much wrong with this story it would take way too long to list it all. The only reason this story gets a half point is because the art wasn't completely horrendous. The writing was atrocious, when the story wasn't bland it was just plain ridiculous, and the art was lazy and just plain not good enough, which is disappointing because I've loved some of Camuncoli's other work, especially Green Valley. There's more I could say, but I wasted enough time reading this that I don't want to waste any more reviewing it.

Though it felt a tad rushed at times and the ending was a little anti-climactic, I genuinely enjoyed this one. Duggan did a good job here. I had a good laugh at a couple of the jokes, and the writing was generally pretty good with only a couple minor exceptions. Didn't quite understand the bit about Victor admitting that he likes his life now and that he likes Nora being on ice because it means they don't fight anymore. I liked Batman calling Victor out for keeping Nora alive for selfish reasons, but Victor is supposed to genuinely love Nora and be working to cure her, otherwise...if he likes his life so much now and loves having a wife who he doesn't have to fight with or worry about...why keep her alive? So that bit didn't really make sense. It felt like Duggan couldn't decide whether to do classic Mr. Freeze or change things up, so we got a kind of weird hybrid where he's a borderline abusive husband but also loves her but he's glad she's frozen but also he's trying to save her. Oh well. These problems didn't bug me nearly as much as the ridiculousness in John Ridley's terrible Penguin story. So this one gets a 9/10 for decent writing and absolutely STELLAR artwork from Matteo Scalera. Seriously, this was a gorgeously drawn book.

This was just okay. The art was good, but the writing was so-so. Honestly the story just felt kind of bland. Not a lot happened, not a ton of depth. Just a run-of-the-mill Catwoman tale with a little bit of personal backstory. I feel like there was an opportunity here to go deeper into Selina's motivations and drive behind who she is and what she does but it was mostly missed and we got a fairly surface-level story. Good art from McKelvie was the best part of this in my opinion.

You know what, I actually really enjoyed this. Way more than I thought I would! Williamson put a clever spin on the "one bad day" idea; rather than focusing on the day that made Bane into a villain, he chose instead to turn the day Bane beat the Batman into the one bad day that ruined him thereafter. It was a surprisingly heartfelt redemption story for Bane, and I actually quite appreciated it. Howard Porter dished out some terrific art too, perhaps with the exception of that one fight scene with the microscopicly small panels. Overall, a great entry and one of my favourites of this series so far.

This was absolutely stunning. Haunting, tragic, flat out brilliant. This story pulled me in little by little until I couldn't break free and it completely captivated me. This is without a doubt the best Clayface story I have ever read. Kelly and Lanzing did an amazing job of crafting an engrossing new tale that perfectly pays homage to the story that inspired this series of one-shots. I absolutely loved the way they utilized the auditon scene from the Killing Joke and how even some of the panels and art towards the end were reminiscent of that book's final scene. This is easily my second favourite of these One Bad Day stories, ranking VERY close behind King's Riddler. Oh, and Xermanico's art was absolutely PERFECT for this story. Bravo.

This was a pretty good story. Ra's Al Ghul isn't anywhere close to my favourite Batman villain, but this was a well-written story and I got a good amount of enjoyment out of it. Wasn't a big fan of how on-the-nose Taylor's climate change messaging was if I'm being honest...but that aside, I still enjoyed this for what it was. Ivan Reis brought his 'A' game with his art so it was a joy to look at too. Overall this was a decent entry in this line of stories and I'm happy to say that this whole One Bad Day project was, in my opinion, a big success and well worth anyone's time and money.

Nothing fancy, but it had good art and it was entertaining enough.

You know what...I didn't mind this at all. Yeah the writing wasn't amazing, yeah the story was fairly simple and nothing overly original, but sometimes you're just in the mood to not think too much and see Batman lay the smackdown on some low-level thugs with great art, and that's exactly what this was. It wasn't revolutionary and I probably won't read it a second time, but I am glad I read it once, and for what it was, I enjoyed it.

This was a great start. Tomlin is a very, very good writer in my opinion. The script and dialogue were crisp, believable, and engaging. Sorrentino's art was hauntingly beautiful as always and complimented the tone of the story wonderfully.

Man...this is written so incredibly well. Tomlin is a creator to keep an eye on. And Sorrentino's art is such a perfect fit for this story. I'm enjoying this far more than I expected to. Also, I guess Alfred is just a massive asshole in this lol interesting take.

I feel like this issue didn't quite live up to my expectations based on how much I loved the first two, but it was still very good overall.

I really want to like this more...but I'm finding Zdarsky's writing just kind of basic. The story isn't original, and I knew that going in, but I'm not finding much about the way it's being told to be all that interesting either. I don't know...it's good I guess, it's just nothing overly special.

Wanted to like this more, but it just didn't really do it for me.

Loved it. A very solid start. Love all the flashback panels with the different colouring. Great choice to use Barbara and Jason as the main side characters for this story, as they're the ones who have been left most damaged by the Joker. I'm into this mystery and excited to see where it goes. Jason Fabok provides some absolutely top knotch art too. Loved the callback to Killing Joke in the opening rainy panels.

Jason Fabok's art is outstanding in this series. I'm thoroughly enjoying this story, although I will say...I really dislike when Joker's jokes are this level of cheesy. Like, who would find that funny? Absolutely nobody. Part of the appeal of the Joker is that he is incredibly clever and witty and would actually be genuinely funny if he wasn't so sadistic and terrifying. Like in Killing Joke he even made Batman laugh, but the octopus joke in this issue was just...really bad. And then the Joe Chill joke was even worse. That's my only gripe, and granted it is a small one, but it's one that bugs me. Otherwise, great issue.

This was a really, really good start. The art was stellar, the writing was solid, and the story offered just the kind of mystery that tends to get me invested pretty quickly. Very good first issue.

Dang...I'm REALLY enjoying this. The older man escorting a young child trope is fairly cliché by now (The Last of Us, The Mandalorian, etc), but this somehow still feels fresh and interesting. Brombal has done an excellent job in the first two issues of making you care about Greyson and Wren, and his use of flashbacks and flashforwards to fill in the gaps of the story are extremely well done. I did not expect to like this as much as I do. Very well written, and the art is stunning.

Wow, the whole concept of the Behemoths being tethered to two souls, one a shepherd and the other a scourge...that is honestly probably the coolest thing they could've come up with. This comic is an absolute delight.

Until I read this issue, I was under the impression that this was a 5-issue mini-series. Seems like I was wrong...which I could not be more happy about. I desperately hope this series continues, cause I have absolutely loved it so far. This issue had some beautiful moments and absolutely gorgeous visuals. I'm fully invested in Greyson and Wren's story, and I can't wait to get more answers about this fascinating world.

Amazing! Jumped on board late but I'm finally seeing what all the hype is about. Jeff Lemire is on top of his game

Love the character focus and backstory. I'm gonna assume we'll get the same treatment with the other characters, which is really exciting, cause I already love all of them. Great issue

Pretty good. Seemed a little fast-paced, and I'm wondering if having Doom narrate the story was the best creative choice, but overall a pretty decent start.

I really liked this. A lot. It wasn't anything bombastic or showy, but it was captivating and thoroughly entertaining in a simple, straightforward way. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by how well Cliff Chiang writes; I'm always skeptical of books that are written AND drawn by an artist, but Chiang did a wonderful job here. His dialogue works great and is crisp and wholly believable, the narration compliments the story nicely, and he knows when to let silence speak. If I hadn't known this was Chiang's first crack at writing, I'd have never guessed. And this is all to say nothing of his fantastic artwork, which is uniquely gorgeous. A thoroughly impressive debut for what seems like it's going to be a great read.

I cannot understate how much I love this version of Killer Croc.

Ending felt a little rushed and didn't pack as much of an emotional punch as I was expecting based on the rest of the series. Overall, this was a fun mini. Some of the political statements Chiang seemed to be trying to make were a little on the nose at times, which I didn't love. I also really didn't like that they made Barbara a lesbian...like, where did that come from? I don't have a big problem with Ivy being fat like some people did, but since when has Barbara been into women? A bit of an odd change if you ask me.

Not much to say other than I loved pretty much everything about this. I'm already fully invested in this world and in our main character's story. The writing is funny as hell but with somber emotional undertones, and the art is absolutely terrific. Can't wait to see where this goes. I do believe I'm in for a treat.

This was an utter masterpiece...One of the best issues I have ever read. Everything was perfect: the dialogue, the narration, the pacing, the action, the art...I have absolutely nothing even remotely negative to say about this. Spurrier and Bergara are in peak form.

This comic is so, so good.

This series is simply incredible. I never want it to end.

Near perfect series. The quality of both Spurrier and Bergara's work throughout this story has been nothing short of staggering.

Devastating...horrifying...gut-wrenching...beautiful. This series is a masterpiece.

The plot thickens! I loved the way Spurrier depicted Hum's handling of events in this issue. The way he writes and rewrites his thoughts as he realizes he's just lying to himself to make himself feel better was brilliantly done. And, as always, Mattias Bergara's art is just sublime.

This is going to go down as one of my favourite comics of all time. This series is as close to perfect as you can get.

This is the kind of series where I can't decide whether it's so good that I want to tear through it in one sitting or slowly plod through it, savouring every panel. It seems like I'm leaning more towards the latter. This series is worth taking the time to really let everything sink in. With one issue to go, I can already say that this is without a doubt one of the greatest things I've ever read.

Perfect. This series was, in a word, perfect. Not much else to say. Not much else needs to be said. Do yourself a favour and read this if you haven't already.

Bullseye just gave up and started crying? Pretty stupid resolution if you ask me. And Black Widow being used as a damsel in distress is also really dumb. This is one comic that doesn't hold up today. Only saving grace is Miller's art.

A great start! Brubaker picks up right where Bendis left off and sets the stage for a tense arc. Bold move doing what he did in his very first issue too...not sure if it's going to last, but it was a shocking moment executed well nonetheless. Looking forward to seeing where this goes. Artwork is great too.

What an issue. Terrifying entrance for one of Daredevil's most iconic villains, and such a cool and exciting tease at the end setting up another prominent character being thrown into the mix. Things are ramping up for something big.

I really enjoyed this. It was a nice break from the action, and Foggy's introspection about his and Matt's relationship was both poignant and touching. Even when the action is dialed down, Brubaker's consistently solid writing keeps me hooked. I'm absolutely loving this run.

Not sure why this issue isn't rated higher. That was phenomenal. Terrific art, great narration, captivating story. Strange to get a Kingpin-focused issue now of all times, but I absolutely loved it. This issue shows part of why Wilson Fisk is such a great villain.

Marco Checcheto is so freaking good at drawing Daredevil man... Mildly disappointed by the somewhat anti-climactic finish to this three-issue crossover, but I still enjoyed the ride.

Similar to Across the Spiderverse (which came long after this), Waid manages to make the Spot into an actually formidable and legitimately terrifying villain while delivering a satisfying answer to some of the burning questions from the last several issues. Brilliantly done.

The man WITH fear. It all comes together. Waid has been playing the long game and it's honestly so impressive. Samnee's art keeps getting better too.

This was a fun issue. Cool to see Matt and Norrin interact.

Not gonna lie, I'm getting rather tired of this Sons of the Serpent storyline and the white supremacist super villain group in general. Their motives are one-dimensional, their power and influence is unrealistically far-reaching, and the story itself is growing far too convoluted and outlandish. So far this is a pretty lackluster follow-up to the long Bullseye setup.

This is a step back in the right direction.

Not the biggest fan of Matt leaving Hell's Kitchen, but this was a fun return to Waid's Daredevil.

This was a powerful and moving issue.

This was amazing. Reminds you why Killgrave is such a terrifying villain.

Some of Miller's best work. Love the minimal dialogue and heavy narration. Fits the tone perfectly. And Romita's art is perfect for DD.

This is pure gold.

This was a blast. Art was incredible, story was a perfect set up for Hickman's phenomenal Fantastic Four run.

Man...it's been a long time since I read a Donny Cates book, and this reminded me why he's one of my favourite writers. This was epic, brutal, and devastating. Only points off are for the art which was inconsistent. Good in parts, bad in others. The story and writing are absolutely peak though.

The art here still wasn't my favourite, but good grief was Donny Cates' writing good...so good that it made up for what was lacking with the art. The Black Eulogy...that was so cool. I've never cared much for the Inhumans, but I've always thought that they could actually be really cool in the hands of a really good writer. I love Black Bolt, conceptually, but unfortunately the Inhumans haven't really had very many quality comics over the years. Until now, Paul Jenkins' 12 issue series was the most I've ever enjoyed an Inhumans book. Cates might just be changing that.

A very twisty twist indeed.

This was a decent ending, but honestly...I think I would've loved to see this as an ongoing series. Cates had a really great voice for these characters and this could've been the start of something really cool. The ending was slightly anti-climactic, and it left me wanting more. Where do the Inhumans go from here? I would've loved to see Cates follow this story up with several more arcs and watch the Inhumans rebuild and recover. Oh well..for what it was, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. Not Cates' strongest work, but Cates at his weakest is still better than most writers at their best.

Incredible start. Everything that you love about Hickman's storytelling and worldbuilding paired with absolutely breathtaking artwork from Mike Huddleston. I swear it's gonna take me forever to finish this book cause every panel is a work of art that I have to pause and admire. There are, of course, a lot of Hickman's signature infographics and high-concept stuff that doesn't make a ton of sense right out of the gate but almost certainly will down the road, but unless this is your first Jonathan Hickman book (which would be a travesty), then this likely won't come as a big surprise, and if you're a fan of Hickman, then you probably love that crap.

I really enjoyed this. Loving the changing art. Some of the most gorgeous full and double page splash panels I've seen in a while in this issue. Nice set up for Neha's training.

Not a clue what's going on. Birth of some Messiah? I dunno. But it was freaking gorgeous and I think I loved it.

Best issue yet.

The plot threads finally come together. Great issue, incredible art.

I thought this was absolutely brilliant. Of course the art was the main draw (and boy was it ever gorgeous), but the story was wonderfully told as well. I loved the unique spin on each of the well-known Marvel characters that made an appearance in this first issue. In my opinion, this was a perfect blend of Japanese folklore with the Marvel comics universe, and I had a ton of fun with it.

I really enjoyed this. The art is absolutely stunning...I find myself just staring at the pages long after I'm done reading the text.

Another gorgeous, fascinating issue. I found the story and dialogue took a slight step down in this one, but the art was strong as ever, and we got some good action too.

This issue was beyond stunning. A visual masterpiece. The story was interesting, albeit a little unoriginal. But there are few pages in any comic that have held my gaze for so long as some of the ones in this book. I just spent long minutes staring at them, captivated.

A fairly predictable but beautifully illustrated end to this chapter of Mariko's story. I knew what I was getting into when I started reading this...I knew the story and dialogue would likely be so-so but the art would be gorgeous, and that's exactly what I got, and I am 100% okay with it. It was a fun time!

I enjoyed this, but I felt like the connections to Marvel comics weren't as strong as they were in Demon Days, though I'm assuming there will be more in the coming issues. Not overly eventful, but as always Momoko's art is beautiful to look at.

A perfect tribute to Batman

The Tolkien references were absolutely brilliant in the most twisted, heartbreakingly powerful way. What an issue.

Holy answers Batman! What a cool concept Gillen has cooked up here. Die isn't just RPG-style Jumanji, it's much more sinister than that, and I'm here for it.

Incredible issue. Art, story, script, everything.

Oh man, this was insane. I love the way Gillen drops his big reveals through the different masters of the realm and the stories they tell. Also, another brilliant little LOTR reference at the end. Loved it.

This issue was amazing, not sure why it isn't one of the highest rated of the series. Such a powerful issue, and once again Gillen does a tremendous job flipping scenes/themes from LOTR on their head and turning them into emotional gut punches. Stephanie Hans' art throughout this series has also been so consistently awesome. It takes me so long to get through these issues cause I often have to pause and just admire the art.

This issue was a bit of a disappointment as the penultimate chapter in an otherwise captivating series. For starters, yes...the gender identity stuff was pretty on the nose. I can handle a bit of it cause that's just the world we live in so I've come to expect certain writers (Gillen especially) infusing that kind of thing into their stories, but this was a bit too much for me. Using the wardrobe from Narnia as a metaphor for "coming out of the closet" goes against pretty much everything C.S. Lewis stood for and is honestly kind of insulting. I might've rated this issue lower, but Stephanie Hans killed it with the art (again) and this series has been stellar enough overall to warrant a generous pass on a solitary instance of disappointing dialogue and narrative choices. Here's hoping that Gillen and Hans bounce back and stick the landing with the finale.

Well, they did it. They stuck the landing. This was about as close to a perfect conclusion as I could've imagined. I was a little worried after the last issue, but this final chapter provided a thoroughly satisfying end to the story. As an aside, this series boasts perhaps the best gallery of variant covers I have ever seen. What a visual feast.

What an acid trip that was...but I think I liked it?

Whoa...I thought the first issue was decent, but this one blew me away. We get a few answers as to what in the ever-loving crap is going on, and the art it absolutely jaw-dropping.

Reading this book is like drowning in a churning sea of beautiful psychedelic confusion, but then watching as the seemingly chaotic and random narrative threads are woven into an impressively compelling and surprisingly coherent story. Tradd Moore was definitely on acid when he created this comic, I'm sure of it. But I think he also may be a genius. Jury is still out. For now...another 10/10.

This was a masterpiece that I WILL be revisiting in the future. It's quite unlike anything I've ever read before, and I am in awe of the talent or Tradd Moore. Bravo sir.

Wow...I gotta say, I did not expect to love this as much as I did. I'm a big fan of Del Mundo's so I knew I would probably like the art, but he was better than he's ever been with this issue. Especially those flowing full-page spreads of Elektra dancing that seamlessly morphed into her killing...holy crap those pages were gorgeous. And not only was the art incredible, but I was also completely hooked on the story right from the beginning. I really, really enjoyed Blackman's writing. Also, Bloody Lips seems like a formidable and terrifyingly awesome character and I'm very eager to see more of him. All in all, this blew me away and I could not have been more pleasantly surprised.

Two issues in and I'm absolutely floored by how much I'm loving this. This might just be the most beautifully drawn comic I've ever read...the art is THAT good. I've always enjoyed Mike Del Mundo's work, but holy smokes is he ever on another level with this book. The visuals are breathtaking, but the story is captivating as well and the writing is superb. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this. Do yourself a favour and read it.

This one was a little harder to follow near the end, and I wish Bloody Lips and Elektra's fight was longer, but the visuals were still beyond stunning and the writing is still captivating.

I know I've been gushing over the art, but I'm also super impressed with Blackman's writing. This series has honestly been the biggest surprise in a long time. I did not expect to be loving this as much as I am.

A brilliant end to this first arc. Del Mundo's art was stunning as usual and Blackman's writing was strong as ever. Very much looking forward to the next arc.

This issue obviously suffers from not having Mike Del Mundo on art, but Alex Sanchez did an alright job filling in, even if he was inconsistent. His art was pretty great in some places and quite sloppy in others (like the second last page in particular). The story was pretty good for the most part. It wasn't overly exciting, but that shock ending had my jaw hanging. Blackman's writing is still quite strong and was the best part about this issue.

Aside from the so-so art, this issue was actually quite good in my opinion. I kinda loved how Elektra didn't take any BS from anyone and dealt with them ruthlessly. No messing around, no beating around the bush, and no negotiating with the assassin's guild. It was really satisfying to watch her dispatch her foes so quickly and efficiently. Now I'm wondering where the series will go next cause I honestly thought she'd be getting chased by Lady Bullseye for the entire arc lol

Story wasn't as strong as previous issues, but it's great to have Mike Del Mundo back on art. This issue looked absolutely gorgeous.

Another perfect issue. This one boasted arguably the best art of the whole series, and that's saying a lot.

"Don't look into any closets. The skeletons will kill you." Such a fantastic line. This series continues to be an overwhelmingly pleasant surprise.

Blown away by how much I enjoyed this run. I picked up the two volumes cause I enjoy Mike Del Mundo's art and honestly, cause I found them used for really cheap. I couldn't have known at the time that I was picking up what would be one of my favourite series' ever. I could not have been more surprised by this run, and I could not be more glad I decided (on a whim) to give it a shot. Tragic that this series didn't last longer, but boy am I glad it exists at all. Thank you Blackman and Del Mundo for an exhilarating read. Books like these are why I love comics.

This was awesome. Gillen is one of the best writers in comics right now. And I always enjoy Ribic's art, even if his surprised faces look a little ridiculous.

I'm really enjoying this series.

Honestly... I've absolutely loved X of Swords so far. But this... this was bad. It's not just that it was weird... it was just, not good at all. The tone didn't match any of what we've seen so far. The kickoff of the tournament was incredibly anticlimactic. Why was Jubilee even there? And a wedding instead of a sword fight? What the f. Only saving grace is Noto's art.

Man this story is bleak. But very good.

How To Train Your Dragon, as told by Daniel Warren Johnson.

My lord. What an issue.

Wow. Incredible how Hickman's wordless story and Dragotta's outstanding art can communicate so much while saying absolutely nothing at all. Stunning issue and honestly the perfect mourning issue after [spoiler's] death.

Just... a masterpiece.

Somehow Hickman manages to keep upping the stakes.

Beyond description how good this story is. Hickman has crafted an absolute masterpiece. He is a god among men in the world of comic writing.

The narration in this issue and the last really just isn't working at all.

This is great stuff. I'm loving all of it.

Seeing plot threads that started at the beginning of Hickman's run starting to weave together is so satisfying and so so so much fun.

I'm not a huge fan of the Inhumans in general, but Black Bolt is so friggin cool.

A slower paced but incredible issue. Hickman just rights good comics. This is a universal constant.

Jeez. What a story Hickman has crafted. I'm gonna be so sad when this is all over.
