A landmark issue -Matt's need to continuously prove he is not a monster feels like seeing a friend go down a path you cant stop -The fight pages are well done and are loaded with tension -The character appearance in the last few pages is written perfectly for the two |

-If he does it well, electra coming back to make Matt relearn his roots would be awesome -Cole not I'Ding the shooter means chip can do more with daredevil as a symbol in hell's kitchen -Love the writing of Matt experiencing anxiety when feeling joey's heart rate and meeting his mother. Then offering to be there if she needs any help -Excited to see how kingpin overcomes his new adversity -Damn chip really can write spiderman in a way in which his had child-like excitement, but the maturity of someone who has dealt with good and evil for years. -Probably on of the most morally-driven issues in reference to dialogue that really attempts to show the grayscale in justice/heroism. |

-Chip really has made Cole a likable character with this arc and this world of hell's kitchen -Digging the art during the chase for Mindy's daughter -Owlsey is colddddd -Damn the last page is such a hype-builder -There so much this issue sets up to be excited for while feeling action-packed. Everything feels as if it is on the cusp of breaking loose |

-The opening pages gives me chills -"He took away my sight, but he gave me the world" -I cant praise the art enough -Love Mary's charisma -Every voice stands alone, each character feels like an individual -YESSSSSS FISKKKKKKK -Izzy preludes "you cant buy loyalty" and this issue shows that -The panel with bullseye(on the van) and DD facing off while flames erupt...Jesus -"blessed be the lord" |

Another perfect issue for Zdarsky. Everytime there is a DD-Spidey interaction the dialogue is completely elevated and this issue is its highest point so far. Art is fantastic as is the usual case with Checchetto. The twist was not something I expected either |

-Enjoyed the opening sequence of Constantine drinking with ghosts -The art is amazing as usual with this series -dialogue between lane and her son is so good -Taylor always does a good job of adding a bit of light in this comic(humor in this case with green arrow talking to green lantern) -"Shes here" is terrifying |

Thor (2020) #1 |
Sep 14, 2020 |
Love what cates is doing. His style is changing the foundation and expectations for each character he does, Thor get this treatment with fantastic scale. The comic feels a mix of personal and cosmic with thor showing signs of internal conflict, still upholding his king-like fortitude, in the opening age of his taking of the throne with the later pages abruptly opening the world up with a new ominous threat. Art is killer top |

Thor (2020) #2 |
Sep 14, 2020 |
Galactus and Thor feel truly powerful in this issue and although it is hard to convince a reader to care about a planet we know little about, the way Thor is voiced creates a tidal wave of empathy as he defends those who can not themselves. |

Thor (2020) #3 |
Sep 15, 2020 |
The art this issue is grand, shimmering with vivid colors of battle while cates accompanies it will heavy words of two old friends making their hardest choice. Thor feels like a king making choices he knows only people who are worth their kingship make, but it i love how the actions of him calls to what is the cost? |

-One of those comics you see yourself developing a huge soft spot for. Love the sketch-like art style, how the colors are blunt at climatic moments, and how the panels flow. So far all the characters are enjoyable and feel like they have room to expand. The use of a ethical dilemma in the first issue was a dark great plunge into the world as it can be a bit of a goofy idea on paper. |

-"But im plan B" got me so pumped, love me some foggy and Plan A was creative -Love the continuity with DD's moral compass when dealing with criminals -Using Kingpin in a room full of those with power while having Daredevil say "They dont fear me" is just smart design -A refreshing perspective on Kingpin who rarely tapped into his primal nature this series, excited to see more of his actions when the chessboard is not owned by him |

-Art continues to be stellar, great facial expressions -The scenes of Alanna talking and Adam fighting are great and its a great metaphor for how we glorify and trivialize violence -Loved when adam was caught off guard by hawkman and then got knocked down in his duel -Good use of how media can skew public opinion |

-Alanna has become my favorite character, shes calculated and always offers interesting sentiments on what the world is pressing her about. It seems like she has cards no one knew we were at the table -Wish we got some mister terrific, but i assume that he will be a major part of the next issue -The relationship between the pacing and stories being told feels natural. It is on the slower side, but that allows for taylor to take his time and add multiple small elements to the world, giving it more life. -Might be the best art in any comic that im reading |

-Hickman continues to excel at writing these characters, making them feel like individual voices. The conversation of charles and raven draws so much emotion. -Contrasting mystique as blue with the environment as white is a great artistic touch -Fantastic issue where the writing and pacing took the spotlight. Hickman is consistent on tying in the events taking place to create the feeling of something bigger at play |

-So much to digest. Nightcrawler is a great lens to witness the evolution of Krokoa. Questioning the morality of the ever-changing landscape of a nation that is new. Hickman has serious hit a stride in this serious. -The art during the climax of the crucible trial sold the emotion -This issue stands on its own, but feels like a very important dialogue on the series as a whole |

-Great opening panels with Reed and Matt discussing god and religions place in the world -Enjoyed the art is the church -More of Cole and the police force feuding. kingpin has truly made sure to have them on his side and the owls actions will probably help their loyalty grow as they deal with cole -Action sequence was well-paced, matt showed some rust -Love interest can be good, both are expressing concerns about their struggle with identity |

-I like this ending as it sums up what hawkeye is in this series. He might be an avenger, but he can be no better than the criminals he fights against, he can share their ruthlessness, flaws, and be just as apart of the underworld's chess game as they are even if it is from a place of doing good. I think if rosenberg wants to, he could easily star a continuous series based off this comic. |

-Really love this grounded concept of a hero so pivotal to the galaxy doing something that seems out of the ordinary, especially for a whole comic. Usually with mental health we get characters talking to one another; i love seeing Richard in an actual session. -Gamora had the best dialogue -Biggest complaint is that there could have been far more involving Richard's younger years rather than only panels of his father. Missed out on showing the build up of his sole savior complex before he became a hero -Also the ending left me in the dark |

-This issue had a lot of what makes this series good. The world feels big again, alive with paranoia and purpose. The resistance is forming an identity and the world leaders are analyzing what is potentially happening in regards to the virus. My main negative takeaway is the meteor origin feels a little cliche and maybe issue 2 or 3 should have has this inserted in somewhere it can work. |

This is a breather after the cosmic events that came before this issue. Cates does a lot of good here: the humor hits well, thor and bill have a great dialogue, and the conflict with mjolnir is a highlight. Nic klein is far better on the art though |

-Cyclops opening made me smile -"Im tired of fighting, scott...but ill never be tired of lifting up our own" -Seeing magneto with so much care on his mind -Scott is so good in the opening issue -I like the art, but there are times where it can feel a bit lifeless(in dialogue panels) -Definitely a focus on Cyclops this issue which can feel unbalanced, but Hickman uses his life as a way to show mutant peace |

-Silva's artstyle is captivating -The vault was immense and well-crafted -Interested in how the children of the vault will play out in a grander scheme -Like seeing potential mistakes being made and risks taken by x-men. -Hickman is connecting ideas; keeping a balance between contained stories and overarching ones |

-From the panels with the broken cell phone screen to michael approaching the mansion with the embers of explosions around him; the art this issue is immensely satisfying -I think there is a parallel between the cartel boss finding any way to stop him and raziel blockading any self-expression that goes against Gabriel -The love interest feels unnecessary, but im not against it if it actual has a purpose -I wish more happened, honestly. Need more exposition into michael, into the whys of his pathway. Im wondering how issue 5 will make the culmination of events worth it |

-Surprised at the length was hoping for a couple more pages. What is here is a good framework; Natasha is charming and black widow is self-aware and calculated. Not really sure how i feel about the potential antagonist, but i hope Thompson has something interesting worked up with him. -Artwork was so well done and the coloring really set the moods of each panel and its dialogue |

-DD talking about not having a goal while listening was insightful -Trying to broker deals and it backfiring in the criminal world shows how fisk did keep the peace and everyone in their place as there is little trust -Man do i love the art of DDs sonar ability by Fornes, but nothing beats checchetto |

-Great opening, love the emotional scene from groot's POV -Not sure how to feel about drax not knowing the pretender from the alternate moondragon(but i also need more context from the comics that led to this run) -Great pages with gamora trying to process the events of the last issue -Little bit of a slower issue this time around, but it seems like a new setting is coming up |

-Issue felt really quick -Love how alex's son looked just like him in the childhood panel -Little alex is by far the most fleshed out and interesting character -I think this was a logical step in the story, but i wish there was more in this issue..this world is potentially brimming with immense intrigue and these characters are too. i really want more depth and it being a 5-issue series could be a negative just because we cant get more exploration. I basically like what is here, but i know with more room to breathe this would be even better -Issue 4 will be a big chance for the writer to fully flesh out these characters |

-Some have problems with the trivia, but i see it as one of the smartest characters using a tool to keep his mind from pacing plus i enjoy seeing him navigate his daily life.(rather than dwell on his family) -I believe the green knight dialogue is metaphorical to strange -The art on raan is beautiful -Kind of a filler issue, but still enjoyable |

Solid start where we see iron man in search of his own identity as everyone around him already has an image built up of who Stark is. Art is smooth; the contrast of colors is probably my favorite aspect of it. |
