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.

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...

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

 A.X.E.: Judgment Day (2022) #3 May 13, 2023

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.

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.

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.

I think Jerome OpeƱa 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.

"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.

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.

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 OpeƱa 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 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 clichƩ at best, but for me, this worked extremely well. Fantastic penultimate issue.

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 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.

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.

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.

Dang...I'm REALLY enjoying this. The older man escorting a young child trope is fairly clichƩ 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.

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.

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.

 Coda #2 Jul 25, 2024

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.

 Daredevil (1998) #113 Jun 4, 2023

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.

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.

 Dark Reign: Fantastic Four #4 Jul 10, 2022

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

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.

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.

Best issue yet.

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

 Demeter #1 Feb 11, 2020

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.

 Die #14 Mar 13, 2023

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.

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.

 Doctor Strange Vol. 1: God Of Magic Jul 1, 2019

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.

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.

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.

I already know I'm gonna reread this someday...I don't feel like I was fully able to grasp what was going on in the first few issues. That said, this was an absolutely phenomenal reading experience. Jonathan Hickman never ceases to amaze and impress. Honestly, this series could've been 50 issues long or more. There was so much potential with this story it's almost a shame that it has to be over so soon...I just feel like I was really starting to care about Wyn, Aiko and Dmitri, and then suddenly I have to say goodbye. But at the same time, this ending was utter perfection, so I guess I can't be too mad.

Russell Dauterman's art is phenomenal here. Great tribute to New X-Men.

Man, Greg Smallwood's art is so insanely good in this book. I'm blown away by how he nails facial expressions, particularly Ice's. Absolutely perfect for the story.

Man...I don't care what the haters say, I love Tom King's writing. This series is shaping up to be just as good as all of his other runs that I've loved so much. Also, Greg Smallwood's art and colours are just phenomenal. Such a vibe.

Far as I can tell, the only people who hate this issue are Guy Gardner fanboys who already hate Tom King to begin with. I don't understand why people get their knickers in such a twist when King takes liberties with certain characters in Black Label books. Isn't the whole point of Black Label that it's for darker stories that are outside of DC continuity? So why do people get so upset when King changes things up? Why does he have to make every character behave exactly how everyone would expect them to behave? People need to get over themselves. I personally don't give a rip about how characters are "supposed" to act in books like this. If someone wanted to write a DC black label book about Superman and make him a Homelander-like douchebag, I'd read the crap out of it as long as it was written and illustrated well. Why? Because who cares? It's outside continuity. It's not like they're permanently changing the character I know and love. What matters to me is that it's an entertaining read. This comic is brilliantly written and excellently illustrated, and I've been thoroughly entertained by it. If you love good comics and don't have a massive hate-on for Tom King, then you'll probably enjoy it too.

Tom King is crafting yet another masterpiece.

Not much to say other than this was a beautiful ending to an amazing series. Tom King and Greg Smallwood deserve every bit of the praise they've gotten for this run. Both creators brought their 'A' games and I felt it.

Wow...I knew this series was gonna be good, but I wasn't prepared for just HOW good. Sinister's narration throughout was absolutely brilliant. Gillen weaved a masterpiece with this first issue.

This was excellent. A rare look at Emma Frost's vulnerability. I'm really, really loving Gillen's narration. It makes each issue a bit more wordy than most, but when the writing is this good, I don't even care. Immortal X-Men is blowing me away so far.

Gillen's writing has never been better IMO. Immortal X-Men is a consistently incredible read.

Wow...just, wow. This was without a doubt one of the single greatest issues I have ever read in my entire life. What an absolute masterclass from Kieron Gillen. I'm the best kind of shook right now...

Spectacular stuff. So excited to dive into Sins of Sinister.

Gosh I'm gonna miss Hickman on X-Men so bad.

"Would you like for me to tell you how it's going to go?" Honestly one of the most badass lines I've ever read in comics. I'm absolutely loving this. The tension is so thick, Hickman is a master at his craft. But we all knew that already. This is just him doing what he does.

This is just too good. What Hickman has done with the X-Men will be remembered for the rest of history.

Jonathan Hickman has given the X-Men their best treatment in decades. He will be sorely missed. Hopefully the continuing X-writers will carry the torch well. Inferno's only flaw was it's length. I wanted more, but boy am I thankful for what I got.

Epic start to Infinity.

It takes me twice as long to read any comics illustrated by Jerome OpeƱa cause I just get caught up staring at his incredible artwork. Easily my favourite comic artist and it's not even close. Hickman's script paired with OpeƱa's art is a match made in heaven. Honestly couldn't ask for a better creative duo.

Phenomenal final issue. Jim Cheung absolutely knocked it out of the park with his artwork, and Hickman's script is as strong as ever.

I gotta be honest, though I think Black Bolt is a cool character, I've never really given a crap about the Inhumans, but I heard good things about this story so I figured I'd give it a shot, and boy am I glad I did. Jenkins' script is perfect, and Jae Lee's art is as gorgeous as it is haunting. Not really sure what to expect from this book but one issue in I am already totally invested.

This is fantastic. Why am I just reading this now? And why can't the Inhumans always be this interesting? Jenkins is doing a terrific job with the script, and Lee's art is perfect for it.

Wow... this issue was a masterpiece. Jenkins is doing a brilliant job shining a spotlight on different characters each issue while the conflict rages on in the background. This is a story about humanity and Inhumanity, and what defines each of them. It's a story about what makes humans different from Inhumans, but also about what unites them, and whether the similarities or the differences between them are more important. Such brilliant work from Jenkins, and Lee's art is still perfect for this story.

Another brilliant issue. Jenkins has tapped into something incredible here.

How is this issue not rated higher? Between the super relatable Mom and Dad stuff earlier and the crazy moment at the end, this was my favourite issue in a while.

This is so great. I don't know what the explanation for why this is all happening will end up being, but at the moment I don't really care. This is really, really cool.

This was great. Loved the dialogue, and the mystery is drawing me in a lot more. I'll say it again, Thompson really does write a good Jessica Jones.

Elsa Bloodstone and Jessica Jones slaughtering swamp monsters while casually discussing a case is everything I didn't know I needed. This book is getting better and better. Starting to sound like a broken record, but I really am loving how Thompson writes JJ.

This is just so great. This mystery keeps on delivering surprising new twists after it seemed like it was heading in a rather clichƩ direction.

Thor slowly backing away from the apartment was hilarious. Dialogue was great throughout, and a crazy twist at the end. Pumped for the next story arc!

Jason Aaron reunited with Esad Ribic and it feels so good.

I will never get enough of Jason Aaron writing Thor vs Gorr with Esad Ribic illustrating. Epic.

 King Thor #3 Feb 5, 2023

So ends Jason Aaron's saga of the Mighty Thor. Long has he reigned, and long will he be remembered. May he ever walk the halls of Comic Valhalla with mead in his belly and thunder in his veins.

Dan Mora was operating on a godlike artistic level here. Fantastic conclusion to a fun series.

This was really something special. Powerful story told in reverse through nothing but gorgeous art. Loved it.

Honestly, I didn't expect to love this as much as I did. I thought Way of X was good, not great. But this, something about it just really did it for me. The art was superb, but Spurrier crafted a really brilliant story with a thrilling and unsettling mystery at the center of it. Mother Righteous seems like a terrifying villain so I'm excited to see more of her. Very into this!

This series is brilliant. Spurrier has crafted something special here.

This arc was brilliantly wrapped up. I still don't get why people find there to be too much going on in this book. Yes it's dense, but if you're not too impatient and actually take your time with it and really digest what's here, it is one hell of a story. I for one have been thoroughly enjoying it. Looking forward to seeing how Spurrier ties things into Judgement Day.

This was short, but gripping. Consider me hooked.

This was incredible. So cool seeing the emergence of mutants from the perspective of humans AFTER they had already been introduced to the Avengers and fell in love with them. I loved the introspection from the main character, and Alex Ross's art is just *chef's kiss*.

Alex Ross is out of control with these gorgeous full page splash panels one after another after another after another. What an absolute visual feast.

This was a brilliant issue. It's a shame that Steven Grant didn't work on Moon Knight more, cause his writing is incredible! And how great is it that he shares a name with the character he's writing? What are the odds? Grant's narration from Marc/Steven/Jake's perspective was so well done; it was everything I love about Moon Knight as a character. I don't normally write reviews for these older issues but I had to for this one. Excellent issue, one of my favourites of the 80s era MK run.

Jonathan Hickman is the only writer I know who can have an issue consisting almost entirely of a bunch of dudes just sitting at a table talking and make it insanely engaging.

 New Avengers (2013) #18 Aug 11, 2022

Incredible issue. What a set up.

Man, this is nuts.

What an issue. What an enormously explosive issue. I can't say that I've read a comic where the stakes felt higher than in this story that Hickman has crafted. What a masterclass in storytelling.

Hickman has crafted such a breathtaking narrative. I'm consistently floored by how he keeps upping the stakes. Absolutely brilliant series.

Honestly, I'm more than a little impressed at Kev Walker's art these last couple issues. The script here was also brilliant. Hickman has the perfect voice for some of these characters man.

Fantastic issue. Love Reed's lesson to Valeria narrating during the scene at the end.

Best issue yet.

Figuring out how to defeat all of his friends if he ever needed to is such a badass Batman move. Loved that he made Robin do it with the Titans.

Dang... I'm not gonna lie, I haven't been overly impressed with the art in this series, not that it's been bad, it just hasn't wowed me, but in this issue...wow. A visual feast. Well done.

This was entertaining as hell...man, Kieron Gillen is so good, and he writes Abigail Brand perfectly.

Baffled and just so, so impressed by how much fun this short series was. This is possibly one of my favourite things Gillen has written, which is saying something cause he's written some absolute bangers.

I'm so into this it's insane. What a brilliant mystery. I applaud Jenkins for his ingenuity in introducing a new character like this. He's executing it flawlessly. Also, Spider-Man looking at the photo and seeing nothing was such a great and eery touch. Gave me serious Westworld vibes. "Doesn't look like anything to me..."

This is such an incredible opening issue. Definitely throws a lot at you all at once, but Remender assumes his readers are smart enough to be able to put things together eventually based on the context without having to bog his writing down with exposition explaining what everything means, which I actually really like. And I cannot say enough good things about the art. Jerome Opena is one of my favourite artists, and this is quite easily his best work. What a phenomenal debut issue.

I can already tell this series is going to be hella fun and hella emotional.

Dang. This issue was cleverly devised and brilliantly executed. Bravo creative team, bravo.

This was arguably the best drawn issue of the entire run so far. Mike and Laura Allred were on top of their respective games. I also love how Slott seems like he's going to handle the ramifications of remaking the world not as it was, but as the Surfer wants it to be. Looking forward to seeing how this arc wraps up.

Absolutely brilliant. Loved it!

Tears...

There are very few issues that have ever made me cry actual tears. This was one. When Dawn's reflection faded from Toomie...ugh. Got me.

*Standing ovation* I won't soon forget this book, and I will eagerly return to it again and again and again. What a ride.

I'm enjoying this too much. A wordless comic is a hard stunt to pull off, but Spurrier and Bergara are doing it, and they are doing it extremely well.

Wow...this series is absolutely stunning. What a powerful issue.

There are really no words to describe how good this comic is (See what I did there?), but I'll do my best anyway. This was truly one of the best books I've ever read (Is it still reading if it has no words? Food for thought). The art was absolutely stunning in every single panel. Bergera absolutely knocked it out of the park and produced a visual feast on every page. And what a powerful, poignant story Spurrier crafted here. A story about time, family, life, and love. Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I will 100% be returning to this book again in the future, and again and again and again. It was moving, it was exciting, it was thought-provoking...it was as close to perfect as a comic book gets. Bravo.

 Step By Bloody Step Collected Jun 15, 2024

Whoa, I think this was my favourite issue of the whole run so far. Set up some really interesting stuff.

This was such a brilliant first issue. Not much else to say. Story hooked me from the get-go, both artists absolutely killed it... I'm so down for what King has in store with Strange Adventures.

This was a really fantastic issue. Gorgeous art and some brilliant moments.

I thought this issue was phenomenal. Something about it totally and completely drew me in and refused to let go. I was captivated from start to finish. Perfect artwork, perfect dialogue, and perfect story.

I've been so impressed with this series... I really don't understand the hate it's gotten. This is a brilliantly written, brilliantly illustrated series that keeps getting better and better. This is shaping up to be one of my favourite Tom King books.

Dang...this is heavy stuff.

What a plot twist!

As someone who has never read an Adam Strange comic prior to this one, I have to say...I absolutely loved this. I know a lot of people have accused King of character assassination and just making Adam Strange into a villain, but isn't the point of DC black label books that the creators can do whatever they want with the characters and the story? It seems like King made an effort to pay homage to Adam Strange comics of the past while crafting a story that was new and different, and I thought it was fantastic. I love the way King told this story with contrasting art and dialogue between the flashbacks and the events unfolding in the present. Doc Shaner drawing the final panel that was a copy of the very first one drawn by Mitch Gerads was a brilliant way to drive home Alanna's point that our lives are fictions that we tell other people, praying that they don't find out we made them up. Shaner's art throughout the book was crisper, cleaner, and painted an idealistic view of past events, while Gerads' art was grittier and more raw, illustrating the difference between people's perception of what happened and what really happened. Even the dialogue reflected this contrast, with the present-day dialogue being more grounded and realistic and the past events dialogue sounding more like something out of a silver-age comic. This story-telling device worked brilliantly in my opinion and was one of my favourite parts of the book. This is definitely going to go down as one of my favourites of King's works. This is the kind of story that will stick with me for a long time. As an aside, Aleea now being the one quizzing Mr. Terrific instead of his robots was a surprisingly powerful moment that I thoroughly appreciated.

Man, I really don't understand the lackluster reviews at all. I thought this was incredible. What a unique concept Spurrier has concocted here...and it fits SO well for a Suicide Squad story. Aaron Campbell dished out some decent art, although there were some panels where it was a little hard to make out what was going on, but that may have been by design anyway. This issue was bold, bloody, funny, terrifying, shocking, and absolutely gripping. I loved every bit of it and I cannot wait to dive into the rest.

This comic is dark, depressing, and twisted, but man...it is so good.

This was one fantastic issue, holy smokes. This was Tom King at his finest. It was the perfect balance of humor and emotion; equal parts light-hearted and gut-wrenching. Bilquis Evely's art is also phenomenal in this issue, absolutely stunning work.

Honestly, this to me is pure literary art. Tom King has written some duds to he sure, but he has also written some absolute masterpieces, and this is shaping up to be one of them. Some may find the narration a tad too wordy, but personally I love it. It adds so much to the emotional resonance of the story and allows you to see deeper into Supergirl's character; what makes her who she is. King's line about her restraint really got me, that was amazing. Bilquis Evely is matching King's powerful script with some of the most gorgeous artwork I've seen. This book is a true work of art, both in visuals and in the story.

 Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen (2019) #11 Aug 3, 2023

Wow... I did not except that to be as good as it was. It was emotional, funny, poignant, and brilliantly drawn by Nick Dragotta. I find Superman origin comics to be generally clichƩ, but this perfectly illustrated both Clark's and his parents' struggles in his growing up as an American alien.

Man, two issues in and I'm absolutely loving everything about this series. Landis nails Clark's struggle growing up as a super-powered kid, and the burden of responsibility he feels clashing with the desire to just be a normal kid. Brilliant script, and the art was awesome too! Reminiscent of John Paul Leon's work in my opinion.

I can't get enough of this book. Every issue is special in its own unique way. And holy crap did Landis ever get a star-studded group of artists to work on this book with him!! Joelle Jones nails it with the art in this issue. I'm loving Landis' writing too. Surprisingly hilarious. I laughed out loud at a couple lines. This book is wowing me with each issue, and I cannot wait to see what's next.

*Mild spoilers* I kid you not, that was one of the best comics I have ever read in my life. Landis wrote Lex Luthor perfectly here. His smug narcissism, his vision for the world, perfect. And I LOVED Dick Grayson working his detective skills on Clark, and their whole subsequent conversation. "Fear needs Hope." Absolute GOLD. And Batman's appearance... jeez. This issue had it all. Honestly, to say I'm pleasantly surprised by this series is a gross understatement. This book has blown me away at every turn. Landis has an incredible voice for these characters and this batch of artists is churning up some of the most gorgeous work I've seen. Jae Lee absolutely kills it on this issue. I can't say enough good things about this series...it's just so, SO good.

Yet another perfect issue in Max Landis' incredible Superman series. I honestly can't say enough good things about this series; it's easily one of the best things I've ever read. Francis Manapul's art here is nothing short of brilliant, further solidifying this book as boasting one of the best teams of artists of any single volume book.

Well, it was a masterpiece. This series was an absolute masterpiece from start to finish. It ends with a bang in a brutal street brawl between Superman and Lobo. At first, I wasn't convinced Jock's gritty art would fit the tone of a Superman comic, but them when the fighting started...man oh man. I seriously can't believe how good this series was and I will be rereading it many times over in the future. This will go down as one of my all time favourite books. Bravo Mr. Landis, bravo.

Good lord...this was one of the best single issues I've ever read. A true masterpiece.

Ridiculously good. I'm in awe of this series so far.

It's insane how much I'm loving Moore's work here. Why did it take me so long to read this?

 Swamp Thing (1982) #31 Mar 17, 2024

Jeez, that was absolutely incredible. One of my favourite issues of the entire run! Art was absolutely top notch, the writing was flawless, and the story was as intense as it gets. Absolutely loving this arc!

I can't believe how consistently incredible this series has been. The art in this issue was honestly unreal too.

Alan Moore is a freaking genius man. That's all I have to say.

So, so good. This run has been nothing short of a masterpiece.

Absolutely freaking brilliant.

An absolutely flawless issue. One of the best of the entire run.

Beautiful, heartbreaking, utterly brilliant in every way. I've said this before, but Alan Moore is a bloody genius. I've never read anything like his work...it's in a league of its own.

Goodness gracious this run just doesn't let up. An absolutely GORGEOUS issue with incredible artwork and arguably even more incredible coloring. The script here was as moving as it was haunting. What a masterpiece. Alan Moore might just be the most gifted comic storyteller who ever lived.

I thought this was bloody brilliant. What a horrifying start to this issue with Swamp Thing making a body out of hundreds of sentient plant beings...and what an incredible idea. Even this late in his run, Moore is still coming up with fresh ways to surprise and horrify.

Thank you Alan Moore (and artists). This was one of the most satisfying and thoroughly enjoyable comic runs I have ever read. A beautiful end to an absolute masterpiece of a series.

Jeez...what a journey.

Holy crap man...Mike Perkins KILLED it with the art in this issue. The story was captivating and engrossing, and Ram V's script was great. Loved seeing Ivy, Woodrue, and Holland. More of this please!

Another banger of an issue. Mike Perkins' art has been nothing short of outstanding these last couple issues. The story and writing here were top notch as well.

Stunning art and a thrilling story. This one seemed a little more grounded and cohesive for some reason. Absolutely loved it.

 Swamp Thing (2021) #14 May 13, 2024

Tom King at his finest.

Really, really good start. Art was good, and the story was captivating in a horrific way. Been awhile since I read anything by Lemire and I'd forgotten how great he can be.

 The Mighty Thor (2015) #1 Jan 2, 2023

This issue was absolutely incredible. I don't write many reviews, I usually just rate issues and move on, but Aaron's script and Dauterman's art were both so on point that I had to rave about it. Probably my favourite since the introduction of Jane Foster as Thor.
10
 The Mighty Thor (2015) #5 Jan 4, 2023

Absolutely incredible. Aaron writes Kid Omega so well here, and Dauterman's art is stellar as usual. Also, it's weird/fun seeing Krakoa pre-Hickman X-Men era.

Insane.

Wow. What a phenomenal issue. Powerful, gut-wrenching, jaw-dropping, and perhaps Dauterman's best artwork of the entire run. Simply incredible.

Good Lord. It's been a long while since I last teared up reading a comic. This one got me. What a powerful issue. Also, Russell Dauterman is putting on a SHOW.

 The Unworthy Thor #2 Jan 10, 2023

Really cool to see the guest artists in this issue. Ribic's art suits Thor so freaking well.

I really, really do not get what the 1 and 2 star reviewers are whining and raging about. Sure the Hela twist wasn't really all that twisty, and the whisper reveal may not have blown anyone's socks off, but this was still a thoroughly satisfying conclusion to the Unworthy Thor arc. A lot of people seem triggered that Thor didn't end up picking up the hammer, but that was kind of the whole point of the arc... I personally felt like his choice not to pick it up was a powerful moment of Thor letting go of his pride and ego and just accepting himself for who he is on the inside (aww <3), realizing that his identity is not found in a hammer, especially one that belonged to a Thor from another universe. Besides, we all know he's going to get another hammer at some point, so everybody just calm to Hel down already. And somehow a few people are even complaining about the art?? How can you possibly find fault in Olivier Coipel's incredible art in this issue? The full double-page splash early in the issue was jaw-droppingly stunning. Overall, this was a thoroughly enjoyable arc that ended satisfyingly, tied up several mysteries, and set us up for more excitement ahead with War Thor.

Fantastic debut! Plot hooked me and the art is awesome. Looking forward to seeing where this series goes.

 Wolves #1 Feb 11, 2020

Listen...did this book have its problems? Yes, it did. Did it smell a little too strongly of thinly-veiled misandry? You betcha. DeConnick clearly has beef with not only certain men, but all men, everywhere, throughout history. She seems to think that because some men have horrifically abused and mistreated some women, therefore all men are bad simply because they are men. Was the portrayal of Aphrodite ridiculous? Absolutely it was. The Goddess of love and beauty being depicted as morbidly obese? I eye-rolled so hard I saw my prefrontal cortex. You can argue all you want that beauty standards have changed through the years, but there has never been a time in history when someone THAT large would've been regarded as the highest standard of physical beauty. So this was by no means a perfect issue. It was well-written in parts, had an epic feel to it (which I liked), and set up an interesting plot going forward, but it did have some glaring problems that cannot (and should not) be ignored. HOWEVER. All that being said, I don't think I can say that I have ever witnessed art so breathtakingly gorgeous, so staggeringly intricate and detailed, so utterly and completely stunning in my whole entire life. I'm certainly not buying whatever message Kelly Sue is very clearly trying to sell here, but dangit...I can't bring myself to give this issue lower than a 10 for the sole fact that Phil Jimenez's art is, quite simply, perfect. It's just...perfect. It's so good that it deserves bonus points that make up for the marks I would've taken off for DeConnick shamelessly clubbing me over the head with her fourth-wave feminist cudgel. Knowing that Jimenez isn't drawing the rest of the series, I don't expect to enjoy the next two issues very much, but at least I was treated to an absolute visual FEAST for one issue.

Absolutely epic. Hickman is on another level. Some might find the slower pace aggravating, but I'm enjoying every single issue of this story, even all of the set-up. Simply phenomenal stuff.

A bombastic end to an epic story. Took an odd turn when the tournament began, but this finale was the showdown I think we were all hoping for. And good Lord was Pepe Larraz ever born to draw X-Men comics.

 X-23: Target X #3 Sep 30, 2021

Incredible issue. Terrifying and gripping story, and the art was top notch.

This was great. I'm liking the rotating narration each issue. It's cool to hear each different character's thoughts as the story moves along.

This run continues to impress. Writing is on point, artwork is incredible.

I am so thoroughly enjoying this run. Mike Choi is absolutely bringing it with the art. I don't even miss Clayton Crain at this point (no disrespect to Crain's equally incredible artwork).

Another incredible Laura-centric issue. I love the way Kyle and Yost write her character. And Mike Choi's art continues to be spectacular.

I know most people didn't like this issue because it was mostly a retelling of a story we've already heard with a lot of recycled art, but something about hearing it from Genesis, knowing that we're finally getting the whole picture, an accurate version of the story, now with a lot more context... I found it incredibly appealing. For me, it hit different than the first times.

It's so refreshing coming back to Hickman's writing.

Oh man...this was incredible! Why couldn't more issues in this run be like this one? I never found the children of the vault all that interesting, but the story here sucked me right in. Josh Cassara's art was also INSANELY good. Some of the best work of his I've seen.

At long last, this run is showing life, and I am absolutely here for it. Cassara killing it with the art, and quite the twisty twist at the end.

Why oh WHY could the rest of this run not live up to these last three issues?! If the story was on this level from the beginning, it would be on par with Immortal X-Men and X-Men: Red in terms of quality. What an absolutely brilliant 3-issue arc. Everything was incredible, but I have to give another shout out to Joshua Cassara's artwork. Even though a few smaller panels in this issue seemed like they were a tad rushed, it was still some of the best art I've seen. *SPOILER ALERT* That unexpected reunion between Synch and Wolverine was low-key one of my favourite moments of the Krakoan era so far. What a beautiful moment.

This was one of the best issues of any X title in the Krakoan era. Change my mind.

I seriously can't get enough of the politics of the Krakoan era. I'm consistently amazed by how often I can be utterly captivated by a comic that consists almost entirely of people sitting around a table talking. But I guess that's what great writers like Hickman, Ewing, and Gillen do. What a time to be an X-Men fan.

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.

 A Righteous Thirst for Vengeance #7 Mar 13, 2023

 Age of Ultron #6 Sep 2, 2023

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.

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.

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.

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!

 Batman: Killing Time (2022) #6 Sep 10, 2023

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 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.

 Batman: The Killing Joke #1 Dec 28, 2023

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.

 Batman: Three Jokers (2020) #3 Jun 28, 2023

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.

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.

 Human Target (2021) #2 Jun 10, 2024

This issue was a little harder to follow so it took me a bit longer to get through, but it was worth it. We get a glimpse into Cristopher's past and how he came to be the Human Target, as well as a juicy revelation in our attempted-murder mystery. King's writing prowess is on full display here and Smallwood's art is as strong as ever.

I'm struggling to understand the lower rating here. I thought this was brilliant. Filler, perhaps. But brilliant filler. The best kind of filler. Greg Smallwood's art just keeps getting better and better.

Such a brilliant depiction of the anxiety and paranoia that Batman strikes in the heart of those at odds with the law. I thought this was fantastic. My only gripe is that I felt the ending was a little anti-climactic, but otherwise it was incredibly entertaining.

It's nice to see Hope finally take the spotlight again.

Overall, this was fantastic series and easily the best Inhumans comic I have ever read. Lee's artwork throughout was perfect for the tone of the book. Bravo!

After the first couple pages, I won't lie...I was kinda annoyed that Mark and Eve weren't gonna get their romantic date.

So naturally I was very pleased with the last few pages, and wow did Ottley kill it with the art. A surprisingly heartfelt moment that, I must say, I really loved. The twist with Mark coming back seconds after leaving was cool too. Great issue.

Dan Mora is the real MVP here.

De Felici's art here was at it's finest. Just a spectacularly drawn issue! The side-by-side full page splash panels of the lizard and Kroma's face had my jaw on the floor...just gorgeous. And an awesome reveal too! The story was captivating as well. If De Felici's writing was a touch sharper this comic would be something truly special, and I think that's the only thing holding it back. It's not bad by any stretch, but it does get slightly overshadowed by the artwork.

In a completely unexpected turn of events, I'm absolutely gobsmacked to declare that...I loved this issue. Somehow, virtually everything about this issue worked for me. The art, the action, the dialogue, the story...where the heck did this come from Benson?! And why the heck couldn't all of your previous work on Moon Knight have been even HALF this good?!? My only minor gripe with this issue is the same gripe as I've had with this whole arc so far, and that is that it still doesn't really fully feel like a Moon Knight story, or at least you could swap out Jake's name for Clint or Bucky or something and it would work exactly the same. So as much as I loved this issue, I would still really love to get this Moon Knight run back to being an actual Moon Knight run again. With only two issues to go, here's hoping Benson is able to keep things this quality and actually finish strong after an otherwise terrible run.

It's really a shame the art was so bad, cause otherwise this was an awesome issue. Hickman didn't disappoint. Could've been a 10/10 if not for the artwork.

A nice moment of honesty between T'Challa and Namor, and a crazy last panel! This was great. Still digging the no name brand Justice League.

Great issue picking up the pieces from that bombastic last one. Namor and T'Challa's rivalry is so compelling... and I find myself cheering for both of them. That's what good writing will do for ya. The art here wasn't good, otherwise I'd rate the issue higher.

Love the art and dialogue here. Amadeus Cho is a perfect character for Hickman to play with.

Really really enjoyed this. Nguyen's signature water colour art was absolutely phenomenal, especially some of the darker panels that depict Batman or Gotham city. Gorgeous. The story was good too, cool to see something from Robin's perspective shortly after joining Batman. Wasn't always a huge fan of Batman's characterization, but for the most part it was great.

This was a good little short story. I almost wish this was 6 or 12 issues long though, there's some really good emotional beats here that I feel like Lemire would've really done a great job with if he'd been able to flesh them out into a longer story, but for what it was, I really enjoyed it, and Dustin Nguyen's art was stellar throughout.

Man, there is a LOT going on here. Abigail Brand is up to her eyeballs in space problems, and I am here for it. I've said it before and I'll say it again, Kieron Gillen is a phenomenal writer. I did not expect to like this as much as I am. Side note, I'm also surprised to be enjoying the art as much as I am. I think Beast looks a little silly, but otherwise it's really solid.

This was great. It was a lot to take in, but it was great.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. What a cool display of Manifold's powers. The art was on point too.

I'm really starting to like Manifold as a character. Never really cared much for him, going all the way back to Hickman's Secret Warriors, but him taking the spotlight in this series has definitely made me a fan. They make his power seem so much cooler here.

 Secret Warriors Vol. 1 Complete Collection Jul 6, 2022

Man, something about Jenkins' writing really does it for me. This was a hell of a first issue. The creative team that killed it with the brilliant 12-issue Inhumans story is back with a strange and haunting tale about a guy named Bob who may or may not have been a superhero once upon a time, but definitely is having a real rough go of things right now. I'm interested to see how this plays out. I know a bit about Sentry from having seen him pop up in other comics but I wanted to read his origin. I can't say this is what I expected, but so far I'm definitely into it. Jae Lee's art is perfect for the story, and Jenkins does a tremendous job going back and forth between the hoaky golden-age comic panels and Jae Lee's haunting artwork in the present-day. The contrast is unsettling and creates a sense of looming terror that makes the skin crawl as the Void is teased. Overall, a great first issue.

This one was a bit more all over the place, but still thoroughly engaging. I'm really interested to see how Jenkins wraps things up.

For those who may be confused, this isn't the end of the story. It doesn't just end on this massive cliffhanger. However, I will say it is a curious creative choice to finish the story in a series of pseudo-oneshots, but Jenkins has been absolutely killing it so far that I'm completely willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he knows what he's doing. On its own though, this issue was another solid piece of what has been an absolutely incredible story so far. Very much looking forward to the climax of this tale.

This was a ton of fun. Definitely gives off a Harry Potter meets New Mutants kind of vibe, so not something wholly original, but it was executed well in my opinion. Skottie Young did a decent job of introducing a lot of new characters at once, and I'm sure they'll all have their chance to shine in the coming issues so we can get to know them better. The real MVP here though is Humberto Ramos with his absolutely stunning artwork. He has never been better. Every panel is a masterpiece, and I'm so glad to know that he pencils the entirety of Strange Academy from start to finish. All in all, this was a near perfect start and I can't wait to get to know these characters and see where this strange story goes.

Art was unbelievable.

It seems a great many readers were somehow confused about what was happening in this issue. Shame, because it was really, really good.

It all comes to a head. What a tense showdown between Adam and Alanna. Gerads and Shaner's art throughout this series have been nothing short of masterful. It's incredibly satisfying to read a comic where the writing and art complement each other so well and are up to the same high standard.

Not much happened, and it was slow reading, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. King has a way of making seemingly mundane scenes captivating.

This issue was a visual feast.

I'm so glad the writer acknowledged the out-of-orderness of these past few issues and the confusing timeline, I was starting to worry that I was just dumb for not getting it. Cool to see things start to make a bit more sense as stuff is revealed and gaps are filled in. Looking forward to getting more!

Another great issue. Not quite as strong as the rest, but still thoroughly enjoyable. It's baffling to me that a comic about Clark Kent can be so freaking entertaining. He hardly did any superhero stuff in this issue...mostly just talked with friends the whole time. But did I love it? Absolutely. Sad that there's only one issue left of this masterpiece of a series.

The kind of stuff that makes your skin crawl. Alan Moore is a genius of the genre.

This was...surprisingly poignant. When I began reading, I was bracing myself for the worst issue yet. By the end, I found myself baffled by how powerful it was. Colour me impressed.

Cool introduction to John Constantine. This run continues to impress issue after issue.

I liked this a lot. This might have been my favourite issue of this run so far. There wasn't too much going on, it felt more focused, and the dialogue was great. Christian Ward did a great job filling in on art; I usually love his stuff, and although there were a couple of panels that weren't up to his usual standards, overall he did a great job. Drawing cosmic comics is his bread and butter and he was well suited for this series.

This came as as a huge shock to me, but...I actually really liked this? Somehow? Something about Hulk and Sentry reverting to Banner and Reynolds really did it for me. And while on one hand Miek's betrayal kinda came out of left field, I also thought it kinda worked. The whole premise for this book was kinda dumb, and the story itself left a lot to be desired, so I had no business enjoying this ending as much as I did, but darn it, as much as I can't believe I'm saying it, I couldn't help but like this ending.

I have very little idea what's going on here, but I am thoroughly enjoying it nonetheless. Stellar artwork from Josh Cassara too.

Okay, this was a lot better. Things are making more sense and feeling less chaotic and random. Joshua Cassara's art has been great so far.

This was really great. Art took a significant step up, and the story here was excellent. The first few issues were a lot to process, but I feel like I'm finally settling in and getting used to the tone of this series.

Best issue of the run so far in my opinion. Only thing holding this one back is the art. Man...I wonder just how much better this series could be if they'd had a stronger artist.

Another fantastic issue. Legion is such an awesome character and this issue shows precisely why.

This comic has finally picked up and these last few issues have been outstanding. Everything is coming together and the script seems so much more coherent and cohesive. Art is still the one drawback, but this story has kicked into high gear.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

 Daredevil: The Man Without Fear #2 Oct 15, 2022

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.

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.

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!

Had my eye on this series for a while due to the high-concept story drawing comparisons to Jonathan Hickman's work, which was more than enough to sell me. We aren't given much information here in this first issue, but it does set up an intriguing mystery within an interesting sci-fi world, and I really enjoyed this as an opening. It's very clear that Blake has some serious writing chops and I was stunned to see just how gorgeous his artwork is too. To have such high quality writing and art in a creator's comic debut is rare and extremely impressive. I'm very much looking forward to reading more.

The story is really intriguing and the art is absolutely incredible. It's hard to rate this issue-by-issue cause I feel like this is the kind of comic that demands to be read in one sitting and judged as a whole rather than each part separately. This seems like it was Richard Blake's intent; I'm reading the trade currently and they made the choice not to include cover pages to separate the issues, so it definitely seems like the goal was for the story to consumed as one cohesive unit. For what it is though, I'm really enjoying it and it has me very interested in where everything is going.

This comic continues to impress with its art and story. The more I read, the more I'm convinced it's better read in a single sitting, so I better understand the lower ratings for the individual issues now. I'm having a hard time rating it myself, so my rating of the final issue will give a much more accurate picture of my thoughts on this series. But so far, I'm still really enjoying it. I can't say enough good things about Blake's art, and his writing ability is clearly top notch.

This comic is worth the read for the stunning art alone. Richard Blake is definitely a name I'll be following for as long as he's in working in the comic industry. I'm sure we'll get some answers in the final issue, but for now I have no idea where this is headed. And somehow, I've been fine with that.

We're nearing the conclusion and things are ramping up. The mystery is just about unfolded and I am loving just being along for the ride.

This issue felt surprisingly ordinary most of the way through, but that was one powerful ending. I'll admit, I think I was expecting something a little more, I don't know...shocking? But I guess that's one thing about Tom King books...they're not always big, bombastic stories with loads of action and epic moments. They're ordinary. They're REAL. And that's one reason why I think King's stories always tend to stick with me long after I finish them. With one issue to go, I have a feeling this one is gonna stick with me too.

Decent writing, interesting world, and brilliant artwork. Looking forward to more.

The writing is a little clunky at times, but I'll chalk that up to De Felici being an artist by trade as well as English not being his first language. What I will say is he certainly seems to have mastered the art of the cliffhanger! Both the first two issues end on a shocking note and make me want to keep reading. Very well done. The artwork is gorgeous as ever too...this is a beautiful book to look at.

I enjoyed this. It might take me a bit of time to work through how I feel about the ending, especially the explanation of why they made Kroma into a monster, but overall this was a very worthwhile read with some truly phenomenal artwork and some great moments throughout. Very glad I picked this up.

This was actually quite a good ending for a series that I thought started strong and dipped in quality a little towards the end. This certainly wasn't the ending I anticipated based on the setup of the last number of issues, but I thought it was fitting. Overall, an entertaining series that I'm glad I read, even if it doesn't go down as one of my all-time favourites.

Finally getting around to this. Solid start! Mora's art is stunning, Gillen's writing is sharp. This creative team is sure to be a match made in heaven.

I'm still struggling to understand a lot of what's going on, but the rise of Isaac Newton in this issue was actually pretty awesome. Well done.

This issue was pretty great. Loved the focus on Howard Stark and Nathaniel Richards.

This is turning into a cool story. Unfortunately it started off a little too incoherent and convoluted. And the time jumps are a bit hard to follow. But Hickman's ideas are paying off and we're starting to get a better sense of how it all fits together.

This is getting really good.

But either way, it was a great series with lots of high points along the way.

I feel bad for Doyle...Emily never even apologized for missing the dance! That could've defused that entire situation. Instead they all sided with Calvin who is clearly in the wrong. Not a fan of certain characters' actions in this one, but it was a really good issue.

A big twist and a cliffhanger! This must be the last issue of an arc or something!

This was a really good issue in my opinion, but I agree with the reviewer Fraidy Cat; I wish they'd dealt a little more with the aftermath of the end of last issue. Kinda weird for them to just gloss over that.

That last page was terrifying. Best issue yet.

Not quite as strong a finish as it was a start, but doesn't change the fact that this was a phenomenal story with outstanding writing and fantastic art. I do agree with some other reviewers that Campbell's art did, at times, leave me confused as to what I was looking at, but for the most part it was gorgeous. This story is very depressing, but it's also a must-read in my opinion.

Solid debut. King's narration is brilliant, it reads like a sci-fi/fantasy novel. Art was wonderful too. I enjoyed this.

A bit filler-y, but it gave us a chance to see Ruth taking care of Supergirl for a change, which I actually appreciated. Evely's artwork is gorgeous as usual.

Big step up from the last issue, but still missing the feel of the rest of Moore's run so far. Swamp Thing belongs on earth doing Swampy things! I miss the horror vibe too, though as I understand it, Moore dialed back the horror-y stuff for the last arc to respect artist Rick Veitch who didn't want to draw anything too grotesque. Kinda disappointing for us readers, but good of Moore I guess.

I *think* that I *kinda* followed what was *maybe* going on in this issue...*sorta*. I will admit, this was almost too much for me, but I think I liked it. It was a TRIP. But it was a mesmerizing and thoroughly engrossing trip. At least I think it was...

A good start. Intriguing story and fantastic art. A bit of a strange introduction to a new character; kinda felt like we were thrown into the middle of something and given minimal information, but I trust that the context will get filled in as we go.

Really cool. I'm digging this a lot.

A lot of people seem to be complaining about the art. I personally think it's great.

I love Christian Ward's art.

This was a fun story with some great art from Tony Moore.

Del Mundo killed it with the art in this issue.

This was a fun Roz-centric issue.

Garbett's art was incredible here. A nice "calm before the storm" issue as the War of the Realms is finally about to arrive.

Loki gets the Ebenezer Scrooge treatment. I kind of hate that Aaron made Loki say the word "Bougie" (twice), but other than that, this was a cool introspective issue for Loki that looked at his motivations and his propensity for lying not just to others, but himself as well.

This was Tang Eng Huat's best work so far. It still wasn't amazing, but it was actually pretty good in places. This was a refreshing turnaround from last issue. The story was so much more coherent here.

Possibly the best art of the series so far.

This was actually a pretty good start. A bit wordy, but not bad at all. Not sure how I feel about Werneck's art yet.

You know what? This was an enjoyable issue. It feels like Williams knew exactly how she wanted to end this series from the beginning (and I will say, it was actually quite a good concept), but it just felt like she had no idea how to connect the dots and get us to the desired ending smoothly. But at the end of the day, despite an extremely messy couple issues in the middle, this series managed to end strong. I really like Wanda's redemption here. And I finally get the title now! TRIAL of Magneto, but not that kind of trial. Clever clever. I still don't like it. This was a book about Wanda and the title should've been something more Wanda-centric. Making it about Magneto was misleading from the start and I think contributed to people's disappointed with what was delivered compared to what they expected. Overall, not a bad series in my opinion. Not a good one, but not a bad one.

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.

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.

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 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

This was a visually spectacular book with an intriguing mystery that was slowly unraveled over 5 issues leading to an intentionally vague and open-ended conclusion. I didn't find the explanation at the end quite as satisfying as I'd hoped, and I felt there was a few too many panels with absolutely no dialogue for a final issue. That said, I'm still very glad I read this and I will certainly be reading whatever Richard Blake puts out next.

A fun team up. Matteo Scalera's art is always stunning.

 Rogue & Gambit (2018) #1 Dec 20, 2022

It was weird, it was confusing...and I really enjoyed it. So basically, it was the opening issue of a Hickman book. Following a similar pattern as most of his other works, I'm sure it will all make sense in the end, and part of the fun will be figuring it all out as I read more. But for now, it was an intriguing debut, even if the art here wasn't totally my cup of tea.

Well now I'm sad.

A decent recap issue that further sets up the impending showdown. I'm not sure I love Emily turning evil...I hope this arc has a satisfying resolution cause it kinda feels like Emily going bad is just a twist for the sake of being twisty. It doesn't make a ton of sense to me considering the rest of the story. I also really loved her and Doyle together, so I'm bummed on that level too. But this was still a fun issue with more spectacular art from Humberto Ramos.

 Strange Adventures (2020) #2 Feb 18, 2024

I'm honestly quite surprised at the low ratings. This was actually good. Ribic's art is of course the main draw, but Milligan does a fine job setting the stage and creating an eery sense of uneasiness in the deep dark of the ocean. We don't see Namor at all in this first issue, but we sure feel his presence. Very well done first issue.

 Swamp Thing (2021) #7 May 5, 2024

This was still good, buuuuut...for some reason Doug Mahnke's art got noticeably worse compared to the first issue. Everything seemed far less detailed, far more rushed, which is odd considering the significant time gap between the release of issues 1 and 2. So that was actually really disappointing, cause I thought the art in book 1 was terrific. Here, it was just okay. My other small gripe is with Ronnie stealing the boat to go back to her Dad. She's like, what? 6? 7 years old? I get that her Dad could've taught her from a young age, she just seems a little TOO young to pull a fast one on George and commandeer a boat like that is all. All that said, the story was still really good. Jeff Lemire has a great voice for Constantine.

This was a pretty good ending to a pretty good series. I personally thought it peaked with the first issue, but that's in large part due to the significant dip in the quality of the art in issues 2 and 3. I felt like this series would've maybe benefited from one extra issue so that Lemire could flesh things out a little more, but we got what we got, and for what it was, I'm glad I read it.

There's a tad too much sience-y mumbo jumbo in this for my taste, and not in the cool Jonathan Hickman way (maybe Ewing needs to throw in a few Hickman-esque infographics to help dullards like me follow what's going on?) Also not a fan of how each character is reintroduced every single issue with a large text info dump about their name, alias, and powers. But the art is incredible and the story is intriguing so let's see what happens.

I usually enjoy Al Ewing's writing, but honestly it's Kenneth Rocafort who's carrying this series in my opinion. What a talent. That last page was incredible.

I don't really have high hopes for this event to end well, but we'll see what happens.

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.

I'm not sure I buy Marnie's backstory about being a love interest of Steve Rogers. Just seems weird to all of a sudden decide that she was a big part of a major character's history but was never once seen or referenced until now. That kind of thing creates continuity nightmares. That said, I'm still enjoying how Taylor writes Spidey, so I'm willing to suspend my disbelief.

I liked the story here; there were a couple interesting revelations, but I'm not gonna lie...I am not a fan of Cory Walker's art. Or rather, I am not a fan of Cory Walker's current style. His work at the very beginning of Invincible was fine. Still not as good as Ryan Ottley's art, but passable for sure. Here...it's inconsistent at best (in one panel Mark looks like handsome Squidward and in the next he looks like a 12 year old anime character) and downright off-putting at worst (some of his facial expressions are just uncomfortable to look at). If it wasn't for the solid story and writing, I would rate this issue a lot lower. I'm really not looking forward to more of this art style over the next several issues...

Okay...I have a BIG problem with the covers for issues 26 and 27. They are incredibly misleading. Why feature the Punisher on two straight covers only to him appear in literally only 2-3 panels between both issues? An absolutely BS marketing tactic that I'm sure pissed off more than a few folks who were duped into buying these issues hoping for a Moon Knight/Punisher showdown. That aside, this issue was actually quite good on its own merit. The art was honestly awesome, and the story was way more coherent and was a lot easier to follow.

It's unfortunate that the King in Black tie ins came immediately after the first issue.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm feeling really conflicted about the decision to leave holo-Dawn on the planet of light people. I mean...she had all of Dawn's memories and knowledge, I feel like she should've been less okay with staying behind and "living" out her days as a hologram, and I feel like the Surfer and the real Dawn should've been less okay with leaving her. Maybe I'm overthinking this, but there's just something that doesn't sit right with me about some version of Dawn never getting to see the Surfer or her family or homeworld ever again, even if she's just a hologram with Dawn's memories. Other than that, this issue continues this series' trend of being a thoroughly engaging and entertaining story.

This was a slightly weaker issue, but still fun. Not bad by any means.

 Strange Academy: Finals (2022) #2 Mar 5, 2024

This isn't bad at all. Would love to see more Namor, but I think the little we see of him actually adds to the tension.

This was a strange (no pun intended) change in pace and tone for Moore's unbelievably brilliant Swamp Thing run. I can see how this arc will lead to Swamp Thing getting back to earth, but it just seems like a pretty hard left turn from where we left off. Nowhere near a bad issue, just not up to Moore's usual almost flawless standard.

The story here was a bit confusing, but I loved the art.

The art here is the main draw. Mike Perkins is quickly becoming one of my favourite artists, and he continues to impress here. The story was okay and the writing was fine. I gotta say though, this is one fine looking book. I only read trades, not single issues, so I purchased the hardcover when it came out, and my goodness is it ever beautiful. I don't like to judge books by their covers, but at the same time, I'm a sucker for a gorgeous looking book on my shelf. Hopefully the story ends up being one that will make me want to keep it on my shelf and not just sell it when I'm done.

Once again, there's a slight inconsistency in how Muspelheim fire works. A couple issues ago, Aaron wrote that only fire goblin blood could neutralize the effects of Muspelheim fire, but here, War Thor just makes it rain a whole bunch of regular ol' H2O and the fires go out. It doesn't completely take me out of the story, but it would be nice for Aaron to not write stuff that he's just going to contradict himself on shortly after. Other than that, this was another entertaining issue.

Back to the art being not so great, but this wasn't a bad issue.

Spurrier is very clearly building towards something, so while these early issues are a tad confusing and don't really seem all that special on their own, I get the feeling that they're going to make the payoff that much more satisfying later in this series. For now, I'm enjoying David and Ruth's budding romance. It's surprisingly endearing.

"I will circle around you until the stars die and the world has forgotten what makes us different. And I will shatter any future that dares to divide us." Whoa...what a freaking line.

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.

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.

Listen...this issue had some intense moments, however, I can't help but feel a little bit indifferent at this point whenever somebody gets torn in half or has a hole punched through them. Why? Because it rarely seems to matter in the end. The number of times a character has seemed to meet their demise only to somehow survive and heal completely is getting a little silly. So far, the characters we've seen "die" only for it to be revealed that they didn't actually die include Immortal (although I get that that's kinda his whole thing), Mark (several times), Eve (several times), Dupli-Kate, Angstrom Levy, the Mauler twins, Conquest, Allen (twice), and probably a few others I'm forgetting. I am enjoying the story, but some of these moments would pack way more of a punch if they actually had lasting effects. It seems like in this issue (SPOILER ALERT) Oliver really did die, but when Thragg punched through him, I felt nothing, because in the back of my mind I was thinking "Ah well, people have survived worse. He'll be fine." Eve's leg being ripped off by Robot a while ago was even undone, so that didn't ultimately mean anything either other than being used for shock value. That's what having so many fake-out deaths does. It takes away the surprise if the character does recover, and it takes away the emotional gut punch if they don't. Kirkman has played that trick several times too many in this series and it's taken something significant away from this series. Part of me wonders if The Walking Dead was his attempt at fixing this mistake by having so many deaths that were actually permanent. Wish we had gotten a little more of that here, but oh well. Oh, and Cory Walker's art still kinda sucks. Really glad we get Ottley back next issue.

Not a bad issue overall, but honestly...the Punisher using a wig and dress to pose as a woman is just about the dumbest and most un-Punisher-like thing I've ever seen. Like they wouldn't know he was a man the second they saw him. Punisher would've just come in shooting. Also, the art was worse than in the previous three issues for whatever reason. I can't quite put my finger on why, but it just seemed like it took a step down.

 Sabretooth & the Exiles (2022) #1 Sep 26, 2024

This is just...okay. I feel like LaValle hasn't done a great job with the characterization; everyone talks the exact same way...nobody has a unique personality, and as a result, I'm finding it extremely hard to care about any of them. Nanny and Orphan-Maker seem completely different from how Zeb Wells wrote them in Hellions (which was brilliant by the way). This just feels...I don't know...stale.

Dawn's Mom is a giant B. I've decided. It's not often that I get legitimately angry at fictional characters in comic books...the only other time was when Miles Morales' friend Ganke spilled his secret identity to Goldballs just to suck up to him. But Dawn's Mom being cold and super rude to her after abandoning her and her sister and Dad when they were kids for no good reason and then refusing to donate blood to save Dawn's life when she's literally one of the only people who can and instead just walking away?!? Ffs. I coulda slapped her saggy old face right off the page. Frustrations with Dawn's Mom aside, this was an okay issue. The monsters were weird and felt a bit out of place in the story, even one as whacky as this one. Spider-Man showing up didn't really seem necessary either, although I did like the "With cosmic power comes cosmic responsibility" line. Great art and colours from the Allred team as per usual.

Not quite as good as the first issue, but still not an unenjoyable read. I liked it. Though I will say, Milligan didn't give Ribic much to work with here. His art is the main attraction with this book, but not much happened so Ribic didn't really get to work his magic.

This conclusion was fine. Overall, this mini-series was not what I was expecting, perhaps not what I'd hoped, but it was not bad, and it certainly was not deserving of the very low ratings it received by other reviewers. Ribic's art elevates this story significantly, and without him it would be much, much less worth anyone's time, but for what it was, I don't regret reading it. It was cool to see Namor depicted in such a terrifying light.

 Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen (2019) #2 Jul 23, 2023

I don't know what it is, but I feel like I'm just not as into this series as most people seem to be. The story-telling method just isn't really working for me, and the humour is only landing some of the time. Some of the issues are better than others, but overall, it's just been okay. I really want to like this more than I currently do.

Obviously this issue suffered due to the simple fact that it wasn't written by Alan Moore. That said, Bissette actually did an okay job here. The story felt a little out of place in the context of what's been going on with Swamp Thing on Rann, but it was by no means a bad issue.

I don't know man...the writing is just a bit too hoaky for my taste. The art is good at least.

Not as good as I was hoping it would be, but I didn't dislike it.

 Vengeance of the Moon Knight (2009) #10 Nov 21, 2023

The art here was better than book 2, but still not as good as in book 1. Unfortunately, while the writing wasn't necessarily bad, it just didn't really grab me. I found it hard to care about any of these characters. Also, Wonder Woman has extremely little to do with this story so it's kinda annoying that they put her name in the title just to sell copies when it would've been far more accurate to simply name it Historia: The Amazons. I realize I'm in the minority of folks who wasn't completely wowed by this story. I feel like there were some really good ideas and concepts here that I COULD have loved, but I just didn't feel like it was executed as well as it could've been.

 X-Men: Legacy (2012) #11 Aug 26, 2024

This series had some great moments, but overall it was just kinda okay. Spurrier is one of my favourite writers, but I felt like his script was far too muddled far too much of the time. David's inner monologues were often too wordy and too confusing and they tended to detract from the story. The art was also inconsistent and downright distracting at times. I'm glad I read it, but I don't think I'd read it again.

 All-New Hawkeye (2015) #4 May 6, 2023

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.

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.

 Daredevil (1998) #512 Nov 30, 2023

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.

This had the potential to be really good, but it wasn't executed well enough. Art was okay.

Art is significantly better, story is somewhat interesting but I'm not convinced it's a very good Moon Knight story yet. Benson still has a bad habit of jumping around without warning and no real indication of where we are. It'd be nice if we had location and time markers in the first panel after a jump like many writers include. That would make things a lot easier to follow.

 Oblivion Song #33 Oct 30, 2024

I don't know man...I'm just not really feeling this. For whatever reason, LaValle seems to be writing Sabretooth almost completely differently than he wrote him in the first series. He doesn't act or talk like I would've expected him to. The pacing of the story seems off too...some things happening far too quickly, jumping around unexpectedly...it just seems a bit sloppy.

The art again here was really not great. It was hard to make out what was happening. I'm glad Loki's story wasn't entirely pointless and that it actually connected back to the central plot, but these last two issues still definitely felt like major filler.

 The Mighty Thor (2015): At The Gates Of Valhalla #1 Jan 18, 2023

Unfortunately, while I've loved most of this run so far, this issue suffers heavily from Esad Ribic not being on the art and Sam Humphries coming on as a writer. You can feel Humphries' influence on the script, and it's just not on the same level as what came before. It's still Hickman's story so it's certainly not terrible, but it's a noticeable shift.

I don't know man...I'm just really not feeling this change in writing style, and the art is doing absolutely nothing for me. Going from Ribic's masterful work to this is supremely disappointing.

This was okay. The writing seemed a little more bland for some reason. Just felt like it lacked the grandiosity and epicness of the first issue. And obviously the art took a big step back, but I expected as much since nothing could've compared with the perfection Phil Jimenez treated us to. Taken on its own, Gene Ha's art is not bad, it's just much, MUCH weaker than Jimenez's, so it seems bad by comparison. One nitpicky problem I had was it seems like Gene Ha just completely ignored Jimenez's character design of Hera from the first issue and decided to do his own thing, cause she looks completely different in book 2! She's decked out in a totally different wardrobe, her facial features seem radically different, and she's very clearly put on more than a few pounds for some strange reason. Just out of curiosity, I flipped ahead to peep on Nicola Scott's design in book 3, and it looks very similar to Phil Jimenez's, so I don't know what Gene Ha was doing. I honestly don't much care how she's supposed to look, but at least be consistent.

I love the Sentry, and the scenes with him were the best part about this issue, which is probably the only reason my rating isn't lower. Romita's art is getting sloppier, and the story is lacking.

I don't think I like what Percy has done to Moira throughout this story...seems way off base from Hickman's vision.

 X-Men: Legacy (2012) #13 Aug 29, 2024

Listen...Simon Spurrier is a fantastic writer; one of my favourites in fact. That said, some of the issues in this run have been bogged down by FAR too many words. It's so text-heavy that the story doesn't get a chance to breathe, and it makes it a bit of a slog to read. It's not helped by the lackluster artwork either. Like with Tom King's Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, I don't mind reading a ton of words if I get to stare at beautiful art while I do. Unfortunately, that's just not the case here. I feel like a 7/10 is generous for this one.

Kaiju...? Where in the heck did that come from? And why? Just... why? This issue made very little sense and didn't seem to advance the story much at all. They could have just showed the Scarlet Witch stuff and left out the nonsensical anime battle. A 7/10 is probably generous for this issue but I'm still enjoying this book overall so, there you go.

I feel like this series should be titled "The Death of Wanda Maximoff" or something instead of "Trial of Magneto". The latter seems a tad misleading for how much Magneto is actually in this story. Also, I feel like Williams was on a time crunch when she wrote this issue. Everything feels sloppily thrown together. There are some cool moments, but the pacing kept me from enjoying them.

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

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

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.

Same gripe as everybody else. Far too rushed, and the art was not great.

I think Mark forgave Allen way too quickly and way too easily, especially after their fight last issue. I mean...the guy got Mark's brother killed while using Mark, Eve, and their young daughter as bait to draw out the single most powerful person in the universe, and he wants to claim that he didn't think anyone would get hurt? BS. Honestly, f#@k Allen. I liked him, but I've lost virtually all respect for him now.

Better, but not by much. The art still kinda sucks. It's hard to distinguish between some characters, and it doesn't help that Benson's script seems a bit all over the place at times, jumping to a different scene almosy every panel on some pages.

I want to like this, I really do...but the art is shite, the story is too jumpy, and we're barely getting any actual Moon Knight. Just his friends (who all hate him) and the people looking for him.

Well, it wasn't horrible, it just wasn't great. It may not even have been good. It just...was. I don't really understand the purpose of this entire arc. Benson never really justified Moon Knight's or the Punisher's presence in Mexico. What was the point of the Toltec? It was teased for a few issues and then...no big showdown? Just some interesting creative choices. The art was a bit better here than last issue at least. Disappointed that Benson didn't manage to stick the landing after a fantastic third issue of this arc, but I suppose I shouldn't really be all that surprised considering the rest of his run was mostly either incoherent or just plain boring.

Punisher really said "Kung-fu this".... Well okay then.

This book really fell off after Hickman and Ribic handed the reins to Humphries and whoever the hell drew these last few issues. An anticlimactic end to what was once an epic series. The Maker was outsmarted and defeated relatively easily after being an unstoppable force who was always 10 steps ahead every other time. Too bad Hickman couldn't have carried this run to a satisfying resolution.

 Uncanny Avengers Annual #1 Feb 11, 2024

Good thing Jerome OpeƱa is still drawing this, cause the writing on issue was pretty bad...

This issue was FAR too wordy and a bit too convoluted. Could've been way less confusing than it was. Thankfully the art was a bit better though.

It's too bad the writing kinda sucks, cause the art is outstanding.

Well...the one thing this comic had going for it was Jim Cheung's art, and now it doesn't even have that. I'm really trying to care about these characters, but teenagers are difficult to care about in the first place without them being written poorly.

Misleading cover. There was nothing remarkable at all about this issue. Art was pretty trash, script pretty dull.

The writing here is a significant step down from Charlie Huston's, and the art isn't great either. Hoping both improve, but not a very promising start to Benson's run. Also, I couldn't care less about Frenchie and his boyfriend at this point. I really hope there's a point to continuing to keep them around, cause so far it just seems like their only purpose is to be the token gay characters who are just kinda there but add nothing of substance to the story.

This...wasn't very good unfortunately. Which is a shame because I typically LOVE Kieron Gillen's work.

This was really, really badly written. The dialogue is just atrocious, and the story has gotten ridiculous. I'm shocked...I expected to like this. A lot of people seemed to enjoy Lavalle's work on Sabretooth, but the more I read the more disappointed I am.

While it's nice to have Jim Cheung back on art, not even he can save this painfully boring story or make Heinberg's lackluster writing any more tolerable.

Nothing remarkable about this issue at all. The story is so bland...the only thing keeping it from being a complete and utter dumpster fire is the art.

Ugh...I'm finding it so hard to care about what happens to any of these characters.

 Shadowland #5 Nov 30, 2023

Kate seriously blamed Cap and the other Avengers for the death of Teddy's Mom? Maybe it was the Young Avengers' stubborn refusal to listen to good advice that got her killed...just a thought. Jeez...I feel so bad that Jim Cheung's fantastic artistic ability was wasted on this terrible comic. It truly is the only silver lining here. There aren't very many books that I dislike this strongly. I have the Avengers: Children's Crusade sequel to this run, but I honestly don't think I'm going to be able to bring myself to read it.

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.

What the actual hell just happened...that issue was moving at 1000mph, and not in a good way. Way too much too quickly and not nearly enough justification for any of it happening. Art still sucks too.

This was pretty trash. Stupid resolution to a bland, poorly written story. Art was meh the whole way through. Also, why couldn't Sabretooth have taken the coil out himself right after it was put in? If all it took was someone clawing it out, couldn't he have done it like...immediately?

This issue was dogwater. The writing, the art, all of it.

I'm getting really tired of this "Hey, cut it out or we're gonna tell your parents!" crap. Can this story offer anything more than just a drawn out angst-filled superhero soap opera about a group of particularly unlikable teens? Also, in a group of characters who range from completely forgettable to painfully annoying, Eli is in a league of his own. Kid is just...the worst.

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.

 X-Men (2021) #14 May 14, 2023

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.

Art is the only positive.

That's it. This honestly hurts...I love Moon Knight. He's my favourite Marvel character besides Daredevi, so to read this hot garbage has been truly painful. I've tried to be generous with my ratings, but I can't do it anymore. I have to own up to how much this sucks. Besides the art, which is STILL terrible, the writing has just gotten utterly and completely lazy. You're gonna tell me Moon Knight is standing in the middle of the entire Thunderbolts crew and a dozen S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, and he somehow manages to sneak down a manhole unseen? Give me an actual break. The Benson and Texiera run on Moon Knight is easily the worst in the character's history, which is truly sad cause I was loving the Huston and Finch arcs.

This is so, so bad...just...terrible. No redeeming qualities whatsoever.

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.

I haven't actually read this yet, but I noticed the average user scores shot up all of a sudden, and then I noticed a strange number of 10 out of 10 ratings from several accounts who have only reviewed this issue and nothing else, created the same day they reviewed it. Hmm... hard to get an accurate idea of whether it's actually good or not with these types of shenanigans going on.
