I enjoyed the Morrison story but it wasn't long enough. Not worth the $5 price tag.

Dropped from my pull list.

The only positive thing I can say is that we are one more issue closer to being done with this series.

I just couldn't get into it. Being 31 years old maybe I am not the target audience for this book. But I really wanted to like Batgirl and have been waiting for a jumping on point. This comic just didn't do it for me. I like her new costume and the fight scenes were pretty cool. But the main villain was lame and all the texting and teen type talk was awful. Like I said, maybe I'm getting old. I'll give it a couple of more issues but this one could be getting dropped.

Unnecessary tie-in

Meh. That is about all that comes to mind when thinking of Futures End.

I'm really just all around disappointed with this series.

I still feel like this series is just treading water. Will anything ever happen?

I am highly disappointed in Spider-Verse so far. It is not even close to living up to the hype.

In my opinion Silk is was the stand out character and star of Spider-Woman #1. The only reason I bought it was because it is a Spider-Verse tie-in. As soon as Spider-Verse is over I will be dropping this title. Over all this book was pretty lame and jumped around too much. I am also not a fan of how Jessica talks. What is it with DC and Marvel trying to make their characters sound hip, young and trendy? I'm just not a fan of that.

My least favorite issue of the Johns and Romita run.

Felt like it was treading water. Not a bad issue, just not much happens.

I feel like this issue is too busy and very cluttered. So much was going on yet nothing really happened. The fight scenes where very confusing. It felt like the whole purpose of this issue was to set up the tie-ins and act as a big add to sell those comics. Superior Spider-Man was cool as usual and I'm always happy to get more Spider-Ock but not even he could save it for me.

More Spiders dying. Nothing really happening and the story goes nowhere. More of the same for Spider-Verse. I was really excited for this event and now I am feeling burnt out and a little letdown.

This series is by far my favorite Spider-Verse tie-in.

The Fifty Sue scene gave me a few laughs and Amethyst is a badass.

I'm starting to lose interest in this book already. The story is passable so far but I hope it starts to pick up soon. The art is what is starting to really get on my nerves.At first I loved it. But now three issues in, it is starting to be a incomprehensible mess. I'll give it a few more months but Wythches is riding a fine line and is in danger of being dropped from my pull list.

I didn't know Lord Death man talked like Deadpool. He was funny though.

I don't know why so many people claim to dislike this new run on Superman. I have enjoyed every issue and can't wait to find out what happens next. I guess it's just cool to not like Supes right now.

Alfred is a beast!

More good stuff from Eternal. Somehow this serious manages to keep the quality above average week in and week out. Not to mention that this is one of the best covers yet.

Good issues of this series have been far and few between. This is one of the good ones. The writing was great and moved along nicely, particularly the parts about S.H.A.D.E., The Atom and Batman Beyond. The art in the first half was nice. The second half...not so much.

More good stuff from Snyder and Wytches. Read it!

I really enjoyed this issue. Things are seriously heating up in the world of Batman Eternal. Another great cover as well.

Harper is awesome.

Endgame PT.1 was great. Can't wait for the next one. Even if it is $4.99.

It seems as though Snyder has hit another home run. I can't get enough Endgame.
