Absolutely loved this issue.

PERFECT. I loved this issue. It was ripped straight out of the SANDMAN UNIVERSE. Writing is fantastic, it's just emotional and cryptic enough to give me chills. I hope the rest of this saga is just as good as this. I love me some bad bitches.

This was excellent. One of the best issues I've read all year.

Is Above Snakes the best comic of the year? And the best western in a while? Quite possibly, yes.

What's the phrase... We are so back

Incredible. Devoured every single panel.

LOVING THIS BOOK

Close to perfect. I hope MacKay gets to write Felicia more. What a joyful read.

Really hope this isnt the end of Jed MacKay or C.F. Villa

Yo, this was perfect. I almost cried, wtf.

In my top comics I've read the last few years. Cliff Chiang is such a talent. Incredible.

Cliff Chiang, please continue to write comics. This series is heartbreaking.

Loving this book!

This book is FANTASTIC

need more!

Ah, this is what classics are made from.

Continues to be engaging and mysterious. Artwork is stellar.

Can we just agree that is some of the best cover work for a series since Wicked + Divine.

We're starting to get answers.

Incredible work here. This series just crawls under my skin.

Holy crap, this is horrifying.

The mood and atmosphere of this is just soooooo good. I can't wait to read it all in a row once the final issue comes out. IDK why I am liking Walter so much as a person. I know he doesn't deserve it. Personhood.

Lots of parts moving forward. The art is stellar, I just at this point in the series I knew the entire cast well as opposed to just a few characters here and there. I feel revelations, twists, and craziness are imminent.

oh BOY

This is why I love comics

Fun-fucking-tastic!

LOVED THIS. This is why comics exist. I need the next issue ASAP. I HAVE TO WAIT A WHOLE MONTH WHYYYYYY

Instantly a favorite. Can't believe this will only a limited run.

GOD, how I wish these issues were longer. Charles Soule has put so much potential with this amazing premise. The dialogue and the writing are so strong I just want more, I want more characters, I want to see more of this world. While EIGHT BILLION GENIES leaves a TON to the imagination (often to weird, horrifying, hilarious results...) what we do get is still so strong and entertaining. Can't wait for next issue.

I am once again saddened that this is only a story that's 8 issues.

I'm going to miss this series when it's over.

Damn, I CRIED.

My favorite issue of Hellions and the Gala and this entire X-MEN line of comics. Fun, absurd, with awesome character moments.

Zeb Wells made the best title of the X-Men by being consistent, character focused, and keeping his eye on the theme. This issue tore me apart in ways I never imagined it would.

"Mutant scum!" Hellions delivers in what a lot of comics that label themselves "gritty" and "dark" wish they could do. Genuinely shocking, funny, memorable, and thematic.

I am so sad to see the best X-MEN title go, seriously, this run was amazing. The moment for Nanny being one of the MOST satisfying things I've read this year. Zeb Wells knows how to use the KRAOKAN storyline set up in a way that I feel is very honest and thematically resonate, tapping into character individuality vs collectivism in a way that hits close to home. By having us empathize and connect with a group of likeable psychos who may or may not deserve a second chance, Hellions truly balances the dark tone, comedic aspects, and moral grey area better than most books. I'm going to miss this title and I hope wherever they are, Nanny and Peter find a way to get out and bring some hell.

Kieron Gillen knows his stuff, this series shows so much promise. ALL OF IT WAS SO ENTERTAINING. The story moves forward in intense ways that both upend the previous era but completely respects. Gillen knows how to play with myth and THE IMMORTAL X-MEN could be the WIC DIV of the X-MEN. Can't wait to see what comes next.

This has been one of the more fun, more engaging, and dramatic issues of X-MEN in general in a long while. The action is used to bring forward and characterize several of our X-Men cast. All balanced in 1 issue, this series is going to be stellar. What's my favorite moment? I can't even express. The bar cannot be anywhere but high.

Gillen makes Destiny a writer. This era of X-MEN is turning out to be everything I hoped after House/Powers of X, after two years of ho-hum series; this was worth the wait.

Loved this. Emma Frost has been a huge side character in all of these books, it is so due time for us to get into her head. The ramifications and drama of recent revelations fuel the plot forward and the incoming conflict ahead. At the moment, I am completely rooting for the mutants. Long may they reign.

While all that is happening on Mars, Exodus faces his demons, past, and dragons over at Kroaka. The quiet council takes active action in an exciting yet retrospective issue.

JUDGEMENT DAY in full swing here, I have never felt I've KNOWN Sebastian Shaw, but after this issue, I'm curious to what his character is going to plot next. I hope Gillen writes this book for a while.

Fab issue.

This was so entertaining lol

Poetic, powerful, emotional, this one's going into the best of comics list.

Thrilling from beginning to end.

OK, Gillen. This was the most WICKED and the DIVINE issue of the X MEN ever.

Surprisingly emotional, still action packed!

It's all here. The battles, the emotional beats, the stories. Kieron Gillen is such a master.

I love this series so much.

This book is just delicious.

The fates are at it again, this month will see the return of Bill Willingham's FABLES (next week!) and from the previews/covers it is clear that Willingham is going to tackle a character he's long wish to write about: ROBIN HOOD. It's going to be interesting to see what he does considering his conservative values. Which leads me to this title's introduction of the Merry Crusader of the wood. Kieran Gillen continues to kill it with this series, re-inventing, deconstructing, and completely honoring the source material he's taking from. The ending of this issue completely also just sent me over the moon. I really hope this series doesn't end any time soon.

Wish I could read about all those misadventures. But it somehow feels like this series is storming towards a finale. I hope not! This series is a blast.

The story continues on, alliances change, stories are re-written, and Christmas is here. Once & Future is just fantastic and everyone should read it.

Hell of a cliffhanger.

Did not see that coming! And a lot of set up things are paying off

I loved this to bits and the series was spectacular. This final issues feels a little rushed but if only because I know I'm going to miss this series.

Loved this.

Absolutely loved this. Bilquis Evely's art is breathtaking and gives this the proper myth/fable quality it needs. King's focus on pain goes from emotional/mental to physical, taking from the superman mythos further to propel our heroin's journeys. Another fantastic issue.

King continues to play with mythos here, and with all the bombastic visuals and framing, Supergirl still comes across as human, resilient, and strong. Easily one of my favorite books of the year.

Beautiful prose, beautiful/incredible artwork and a mythos in Supergirl that feels larger than life. I do wonder how it'll all end, if I was in Ruthye's shoes, I am not sure if I'd be able to keep my word to Kara either. Not after everything she witnessed.

Incredible. Myth and legend combine and this is easily my favorite Supergirl story. Absolutely incredible.

So this is officially the golden age of James Tynion IV. I love how personal he spins his tales of horror. And as more original work comes out, mixed in with his big two projects, his style gets sharper and better. His characters are lost and misplaced, regardless if they're facing matters overwhelming beyond their control from external forces (like in Nice House on the Lake) or against nightmares from realms that exist deep within our psych (like in Nightmare Country). Another similarity is what makes these characters tick and how personal he gets with the relationships between them and other characters or the relationships they have with themselves. On the page, the horror unfolds from the disconnect between those relationships. The horror that comes from a book like DC vs Vampires, no matter how fun, comes from the betrayal that comes between the superheroes there. And then there's the complex relationships of those in Something is Killing the Children. And how all these relationships form systems that are difficult to escape from, like in Department of Truth. So, it is no surprise, that the complex relationship of the trio at the center of The Closet fits into those molds, this time in a much more down-to-earth scenario. "He's going to internalize all of that!" the wife yells in anger out of fear of being made out the villain. "We'll leave all this behind tomorrow" the husband whispers to his son almost wishing in vein that all HIS problems would disappears. "It's more about taking the fear seriously" says the bartender. Tynion's philosophy of horror displayed out in the open. These people feel relatable, their situation feels resonating, the premise is one of the most familiar; it is the everyday and we feel at home, even during these character's flawed moments. As familiar as those early memories of being in bed, in the dark, scared shitless of the things hiding in the corners... or the closet... And so Tynion just simply asks, what if it was real?

This book strikes hard at anxieties I didn't even know I had. Dialogue is fantastic, art is fantastic, this cant just be 3 issues!!

Tynion is brilliant. But DAMMIT I WANT MORE. This cannot be the end. And if it is, damn you Tynion, this shit is fucked!

MORE MORE MORE

Simon Spurrier you amazing BLOT.

EXCELLENT

I need this series to last a long time.

There's no way this is a miniseries... this has so MUCH potential

So happy this series got another volume.

Ah, this one was excellent.

YO! It's like the book never went away. This was nostalgic and also exciting in that new type of way. Can't believe it's going to be decade and this series feels like it could go on for another decade. Incredible.

Timely, engaging, and anxiety-inducing; Saga continues to keep us on our toes only showing parts of the story worth telling. Brian K Vaughan and Fiona Staples are in their highest of grooves. The series still feels like it never left.

Characterization is off the charts, the flashbacks to what happened right after the hiatus began are also really amazing. There's so much emotion packed behind all the interactions, nothing is left as filler. Every panel counts. Incredible.

SAGA'S BACK, BABY! First issue since it's return to hit all those sweet spots I loved about this series. It feels so alive, the one-off memorable characters, the drama underneath all the craziness, the actually craziness. The opening made me laugh so much and the ending made me audibly gasp. Ugggghhhh now I have to wait till next month. I'm going to re-read this series.

Strong character work and another shake up in the status quo. SAGA never stops shifting and propelling forward. Fiona Staple's artwork continues to be some of the best in the industry.

Friends, Vaughan and Staples are incredible and I feel SO lucky to be able to read and consume their wonderful work. Absolutely grateful.

They still got it.

Amazing first issue. Loved it, hope the rest of the series is as good because omg.

Continues the momentum, world building, and characterization of the first issue very well. WHAT'S THE FURTHEST PLACE FROM HERE?'s greatest strengths lie in it's ability to use shorthand for it's world's social contract. It doesn't bug us with useless exposition or unnecessary details we've heard a million times before at this point. Almost like a video game, Rosenberg and team tell their story through character moments, artwork, and dialogue. The whole thing is a vibe.

They ain't stopping. This series continues to explore themes of factions, family, culture, and societal norms using extremes and punk/folk storytelling and the results are really engaging. A character in particular here makes several mistakes and we as readers can identify them and even feel frustration over this character's choices without knowing all of the world's rules and themes. We just understand that what he's doing is wrong and making everyone else uncomfortable. It is great storytelling that allows the reader to disarm and become fully engrossed in this strange, new world. Who are the strangers? What do family's really mean? What's outside of this town? Where did Sid go? I don't know if I'll ever find out but I am sure as hell enjoying this journey.

I LOVE carnivals!

This is one of my favorite comic book covers ever. The story in it is as strong as the cover. The art is as strong on the story. The cover is as strong as the art.

I am so happy this is coming back. Rosenberg and Boss killed it with these six issues.

This issue was perfect. The art, the writing, the lore, the emotion. What's the Furthest Place From Here hands down one of the best comics I've ever read, I hope this one goes on for a while.

Josh Hixson is sorely missed here but this issue continues what's so amazing about this series. This may just be my favorite book that's come out this year.

This is my current favorite ongoing. Sweeney Boo is serviceable and the writing is still top notch. I miss Tyler Boss though. This series continues to feel like a dream, love it so much.

The adventures continue and more, more, more of these kids are deciding to grow up.

WHAT'S THE FURTHEST PLACE FROM HERE? #12 continues to provide the atmosphere and craziness that I've come to love the book for. 12 retreads some material from the past and it feels maybe a little too familiar, but a few reveals keep the book moving forward.

Matthew Rosenberg continues to knock it out of the park.

THE CITY

Had me watching Ghost World

This series is proving that the Black Hammer universe is ripe for stories.

Wild and free

One of my favorite issues of the year!

I NEED MORE

Ugh, I loved this so much. I miss Cecil Castellucci's writing.

MORE MORE MORE

Chip Zdarsky knocked it out of the park. Public Domain is off to a really impressive start. This is such a fantastic first issue.

This is a really great comic, Zdarsky's brand of humor is soooo much fun.

This issue was perfect.

A blockbuster comic! Waid doesn't disappoint throwing us right into the action. We can follow the story because he writes these characters in the broad strokes we are used to, the characterization is on point. Also, lovely seeing DOOM PATROL, it makes me really happy.

A blockbuster comic through and through. Mark Waid's been waiting for him and I desperately want him to do a run on DOOM PATROL.

I'll keep saying it until it happens. I want MARK WAID and DAN MORA on a DOOM PATROL book ASAP. PLEASE LORD, GIVE US THIS. Anyway, this book is a blast. Consistent, fun, and it feels LARGE in scope with so many characters and yet all tied to one BIG BAD in a way that feels organic and unique. This is gonna be a blockbuster book that people are gonna read for years to come.

I mean this in the best way possible, this is Saturday Morning Cartoons energy mixed in with MANGA shonen tropes. Mark Waid is just having fun here. This is fUNtastic.

I want this book to go on forever.

Conflicted because this was such an effective, engrossing, macabre story of crime, trauma, and senseless violence. The artwork is stellar, the writing is fantastic, the tone is consistent and engaging. There are moments here that are so horrifying it's essentially a horror book. It just doesn't feel like Batman, Riddler, or Gordon. It would be perfect if it wasn't Batman and I wish this would have been reworked as a separate crime thriller or something. Just the rules of a comicbook universe don't allow this to work as well. What came before it and what comes after it, this book won't matter. So I'll take it as a stand-alone elsewhere story, and like that this is one mighty, fine thriller.

Fantastic first issue that introduces characters, a world, and a vibe that feels like itll make a promising series. Thankfully, in a world of alt-hero world tales like Black Hammer, The Boys, Astro City... Minor Threats has an identity all of its own that I can't wait to get to know better.

Phenomenal start.

The art is muddy and moody in a fantastic way, survival and terror pack the issue and the tunes are mighty fine.

Excellent. Really excellent.

Strong, promising start. Colorful setting, colorful characters, and a premise that feels both classic yet new. Can't wait to read more.

This comic is filling the void left by the X-MEN, the creativity is rewarding and all the new characters are strong with unique and easily recognizable personalities. Win win so far.

Love seeing NOLA like this, although it's a very touristy side, but still all these characters are NEW to NOLA so it makes sense, I hope the setting continues to be taken advantaged of like this because it's such a great, underrated setting. Character work continues to be amazing! Loving this title so far.

oh boy HERE WE GO! Love to see the continued presentation of setting. It was REALLY NICE to see Weirdworld again.

The kid's first battle and of course, it's more difficult than they thought.

The amount of enjoyment I am getting out of this series is currently unmatched.

Skottie Young is writing series that'll go down in history alongside the runs of Brian K Vaughan's Runaways and Kieran Gillen's Young Avengers.

On par with THE RUNAWAYS and YOUNG AVENGERS when they debuted, this series is GOLD.

The oversized magazines are quickly becoming the startling blockbusters of the comic book world, exciting, new, risky, and bold. Jeff Lemire returns to horror in Green Hell and its a story perfect for our times.

Became a fan of Si Spurrier after his Hellblazer and Dreaming runs, now I'll just follow where he goes and this is quite the adventure.

Nettie Bridger is such a great character as is M.P. Nathan Gooden's artwork is just soooo good, I love it! The mysteries deepen and the monsters are plenty, but the writing on Bridger is most excellent, maybe she can survive these creatures that hunt in the cold, snow.

Fantastic, the art is so good, and the writing top notch.

Si Spurrier just knows how to write myths and monsters. Amazing stuff.

Artwork is just so good and the writing is great. I'm going to miss this series.

Fantastic finish. Spurrier continues to be a master of folk-horror and folk-tales as he combines them with his comic-book writing. In THE RUSH, while it takes a conclusion I could gather earlier in the series (and in now how other works of his turn out) it was still a satisfying and emotionally draining conclusion to a creepy, western horror tale. Nathan Gooden's artwork is also top tier, like what a gift to have gotten this mini from the two of them. And while I'll miss Nettie's character, likely my favorite character from any indie comic this year, I look forward to re-visiting this story in the future.

This entire issue read like MASS EFFECT with MUTANTS. And boy oh boy did I love it. The drama, the dialogue, the discussions, that feeling of endless potential. Al Ewing is taking a concept born about a year ago and finally doing something interesting with it. A new planet, old ideas, conflicting philosophies, and a desire to build something new. X-MEN RED taps into that feeling of opportunity. A planet anew, what can come next. Can't wait to read more.

Al Ewing is also putting in the WORK. Abigail Brand is easily becoming one of my favorite characters in the entire X-MEN mythos, and Ewing is having so much fun writing her. And the best part is? Everyone else is getting equal treatment with some character moments that feel like big stuff is happening. Hope this momentum continues.

Incredible.

Another excellent issue. Guess I gotta catch up on Dugan's X-MEN series !!!

We're off with a bang. X-MEN RED raises the stakes astronomically for this event in a way that I'm not sure if the rest of the series will keep up. It was a quick read, but one I ended up doing three times to take in all the details. A LOT happens in this issue.

Fantastic issue that uses the event to it's fullest potential and gives us an entire planet to root for.

HA! This issue was perfect.

OK, that's all very good. But to what end? lol

Worth that one-page of Hot Roberto, alone.

Amazing

And we're back.

War is here, things are happening fast, not gonna lie, some of this feels like what do we do with Mars while FALL OF X is happening? Its not as interesting as I think it could be.

I AM EMOTIONAL

This is amazing.

Sas Milledge better come back with a volume 2. Thematically rich, wonderful artwork, and two fantastic characters. Mamo is a fantastic story filled with magic.

Lemire just has that TOUCH.

I think about this issue often.

This book is a dream.

Moody and atmospheric, Mazebook continues to play out like a dream of broken, heartwrenching memories. The things we wish to forget, cannot, and want to desperately go back to.

Aaaaaand I cried.

G. Willow Wilson didn't come to mess around. And Marcio Takara's artwork is splendid. I can see that Wilson's time writing for the SANDMAN UNIVERSE has rubbed off on her because this would fit SO NICELY into that corner of the DCU that I almost wish it did. It's setting up a story that feels large, large not just for Ivy as a character but for the world she inhabits as well. Great themes, great connection to the rest of the DCU, and entirely focused on an Ivy that feels like a natural progression for her character. My only sadness being that this being a legit DC book, I know whatever happens in this issue will be contained to this series, but hey, whatever... I'll enjoy the ride while it lasts. So far, this is fantastic stuff.

A darkly resonating piece with existential dread. Poison Ivy explores the path of rage in a world where very little is changing. Talked to a vegan friend who's a huge animal rights activist that the entire food industrial complex needs an overhaul (along with everything else), and switching meat for plants won't be enough to save anyone without alternate systems and lifestyles. Just a few months ago strawberries were being thrown away in droves because they had hepatitis. Wilson continues to add 'Sandman' energy to Ivy; a tale of frustration, rage, and exhaustion.

I am loving this book so much, the artwork is great, the writing is engaging, and I'm connecting with Poison Ivy in ways I never thought I would. There's a strong sense of creation through destruction, and it's toxic for the lack of a better word. The book is tapping into manic, colorful sense of doom.

Another strong issue! Some good ideas here I feel aren't as well explored as they could be. The workplace and its workers feel like caricature as opposed to real people but the spirit of what Wilson is trying to do comes through just fine.

Artwork is off the charts. Ivy faces her nightmares.

Very satisfying conclusion to what I can happily call a first arc. The art is great, the writing is so strong, and I'm excited for what may come next.

If the first arc felt like something out of THE SANDMAN, this new arc gave me heavy early 2000s Vertigo charm. I'm excited for this arc and this new villain shows promise!

Getting to think on some tough stuff.

It felt like a dream, which is kinda great because that's probably how it felt for Ivy. Amazing issue.

Gosh, I loved this issue, some of the artstyles was so CLASSIC VERTIGO, wish some of these peeps drew entire arcs, so good.

GOD I LOVE THIS BOOK!

Undine is so pretty. Issue kinda just ends.

This issue hit me like a ton of bricks. Beautiful, horrifying, dark, and intense.

G. Willow Wilson is killing it with this book. So happy to be able to read this month to month.

Fantastic

There's just something classic about this series that I love so much.

Greg Smallwood really nails it. And how does King come up with these scenarios. Tick tock. We've got quite the mystery in our hands.

This was amazing.

It's like Brubaker meets The Incredibles.

Did not find this one to be as strong as some of the previous ones, but hell it was still so good. Mystery thickens, so many theories, the art continues to be soooooo gorgeous. Who would have thought that a HUMAN TARGET book would have been one of the best ones on the stands.

It's just so good, the artwork, the pace, the reveals. I never thought I'd care about these characters in this way, it is fantastic.

Can't believe it's going on hiatus for so long. This issue has me itching for more! It's also the most I've ever been invested in a JLI story, these versions of these characters I am really, really enjoying and it is likely that this is where they're only ever going to exist. I'm totally fine with that, the ride's been great.

Fire and Ice.

A bit meandering compared to the rest of the series so far. It's got the charm and fantastic artwork expected and King gets to mess about with another JLI character, crazy.

The colors of this series I am going to miss. I love ICE! And clever use of the caped crusader. Makes this world feel really alive and moving.

Oh boy, two more issues after this!

The DRAMA. Also this cover has to be my favorite, it is GORGEOUS.

What can happen when you aren't tied to the constraints of continuity. Fantastic!

A very strong, and successful relaunch for Thor. Al Ewing is aiming for skies with this one.

Epic

An solid, fantastic first arc comes to a close with a series worthy of it's title.

Loving this quite a bit

FANTASTIC STUFF

This issue was so much fun, art was great, some FANTASTIC moments across the board with all the characters. Gerry Duggan knocked this out of the park, I hope the rest of the series continues with this energy.

I have come to really fall in love with Si Spurrier's work. WAY OF X and elements from X-MEN RED and the series from long ago LEGACY: LEGION would be needed to get everything this issue has to offer. I would argue that Spurrier's work in SANDMAN'S THE DREAMING and his recent run on HELLBLAZER may even help boost it more as I see many themes and ideas that were explored in those titles run heavy in LEGION OF X. There's a lot of fantastic ideas coming through in this issue as two different cultures collide to explore themes on religion, justice, community, culture, and history all through the lens of MUTANTS and X-MEN. Ambitious? Absolutely. Loved this issue and am super excited to see where this series is going to go.

Si Spurrier and Jan Bazaldua firing off all cylinders. What an exciting time to read these X-Books. X-MEN RED IMMORTAL X-MEN LEGION OF X All in league to be the best X-Books we've gotten since House/Powers of X. I love it.

God, I love Si Spurrier. And with Jugger now having them call him CAIN and a fantasy/dream/ethereal plane. The Beach has become essentially the mutant equivalent of the dream verse for the MCU. Legion makes quite the Sandman. LEGION OF X is a doozy of a title that's oozing with color, character, emotion, and psychedelic fever.

Spurrier continues his exploration of faith in Kraoka, and leads to some surprising conclusions. One this is certain, he writes one hell of a Kurt!

Love the artwork so much. One arc ends, an event is about to plow through, and another arc reveals itself. Hope the next arc can be a little more focused but this was really fun.

Rafael Pimentel joins to the creative team for one of the better AXE tie-ins. Spurrier takes the opportunity to define how David has changed, how he feels, and what may come after. It's a fantastic read specially if youve been following the duo throughout the years now.

Si Spurrier's mind is just crazy, where is all this coming from and I just I sure as hell don't know where it'll end up. So many threads, so many arcs, Legion of X is a bang for it's buck. Also Netho Diaz's artwork and how wordy Spurriet's scripts are make this book feel right out of the 90s. It's very FUN.

Si Spurrier is one of my faves because he is filled with so MANY IDEAS and interesting PHILOSOPHIES that his work is a joy to read, unpack, and experience. Legion of X #8 is perhaps maybe overstuffed with these ideas. I love what I'm reading but in this issue in particular it becomes messy, hard to follow, and overly complex. I hope he is able to reign it in to give his characters a chance to breath. The cast here is HUGE and they all get such great moments to shine but they get also lost in the shuffle of monsters, spells, gods, and genes.

Holy crappers everything's collapsing at once!

Lots of great stuff here. Little room to breath, its clear Spurrier was against the clock with all the events and everything and his story wasnt allowed the room to breath. I love comics, but sometimes the industry gets in the way in really unsatisfying ways.

Um, oh my god, I loved this. I want more.

Fantastic first issue

Loved this issue. Damn.

Tom King is just full of surprises isn't he?!

Still can't say I understand what's happening. Comic shenanigans. It's enjoyable and I love how straight forward it is with the cheesy romance even when the rug is pulled out from under us, it leaves us scratching our heads.

I am intrigUED.

LMAO this issue was SO funny. My favorite one so far. God, I hope this series becomes an FX series or something, I'm getting into it's groove.

This series gets better and better.

This book is fucked up LOL

Beautiful!

Fantastic art, fantastic story. loved it

W. Maxwell Prince and Martin Morazzo really delivered with this one.

A bit disjointed for a Sandman title, and to get people caught up on the concept of the Corinthian there's a bulky, clunky exposition dump in the middle of the issue that breaks the tension. Hell, the description for this issue on this website is even doing the most. Almost like this issue isn't as confident in the story it's telling. In trying to introduce everything, I feel like I'm missing half of it. Curious to see where it will go for sure, art is great, and I love Tynion's ideas. Just hope the series finds its footing soon. It doesn't quite capture the elegant way Sandman titles dig into mystery and myth and feelings. (Odd cuz Nice House on the Lake is so good at that?) GOD I MISS HOUSE OF WHISPERS. That book was SO underrated.

Ugh this was so GOOD. Picks up the last NIGHTMARE COUNTRY series in interesting ways that improve upon those 6 issues and get me excited for what comes next.

Much better than issue 1. Mysteries abound, creepy imagery, and Tynion's fun dialogue. Can't say I'm fully on board with following Nightmare in this manner, but let's see where this goes.

The artwork is the strongest aspects, this series has me a little lost though, more so than usual, but I'm hoping it'll all become clearer as it goes on. Tynion is best when doing dialogue between his characters as the plot goes into some unpredictable sections. I wish more of this has been set up but I'll take it.

Great art, plots racing forward, all these separate strands starting to thread together. It took 8 issues but Tynion is finding the gold ever so present in Sandman stories.

Best issue of this series so far, the story is ramping up, the dialogue is fantastic, and there's some really eerie moments in this! I want to read the next issue now!

Fantastic issue, now we have context and it all falls into place. Super excited to see where this goes!

Love this boook!

My favorite issue of this series. It felt completely like classic Vertigo and the writing and art were both off the charts. Oh please, give me MORE.

Feels rushed. Has an ending been ordered? A lot happens in this issue and I like the majority of it but some of the movements here dont pack the punch they should.

A strong start with great artwork and an intriguing hook. Finally getting around to read this BIG STACK OF COMICS I PILED UP OVER THE HOLIDAYS

Stunning.

DAMN

No more kings. There ain't no preventing a war, it's already here. The artwork continues to be my favorite thing about this. And I'm in love with John C. I miss him having a series. This epic is only just beginning.

Great stuff happens in this issue, I wish it was its own story as supposed to a flash back but we only got 12 issues so best to leave it in one.

Had to read twice because the twist completely disoriented me. Taylor has been this DC Universe entirely his own.

Halfway point and so much is happening so fast. I really like it, so much so that I wish all these moments had time to breath and be expanded upon. I wish this was a novel instead of a comic which is something I don't really wish for often. But the drama, the characters, the complicated plot developments, Dark Knights of Steel makes for a fun, interesting comic book; but it's genre and tropes may lend themselves better in a novel format. Still, so much to like!

Something's off, the art is great and the character beats are still very cool. But I'll be honest folks, I have lost the PLOT. Few more issues to go!

Not the finish one would hope for when the series began. It feels unfinished. Love the artwork as always and some versions of these characters work really well. Just hope the next arc (cuz it is coming...) is plotted more effectively.

Loved this! The type of book I did not know I wanted!

Love the twists and turns Mariko is doing with the Marvel mythology, it feels new, it's my favorite type of adaptations.

I understand why these have to be sold as ONE SHOTS, and I am sure it doesnt take a quick time to make these, still, I'm enjoying the ride quite a bit. While I love the creative re-invention of characters like SILK, STORM doesn't look as promising, the shading is rubbing me the wrong way. Still, let's see what happens.

So, I love Chibi Ororo. "We aren't yokai, we are GODS". The marriage of Japanese style storytelling and the Marvel U has got me smitten. Beautiful artwork and a legend for a story, I really hope next issue isn't truly the last one. Excited to see what the HARDCOVER for this one will look like.

I love this alt-u for Marvel. It's just so much fun and dramatic. I love the artwork I love the re-imagining. It's what fans would create if MARVEL weren't under copyright. At least it's officially commissioned; DEMON DAYS is an example if the Marvel Mythos could grow outside of copyright, all that imagining. Glad it is going to continue!

My first foray into this creator’s world and I had a great time. The emotional beat of this issue got to me and I’m excited to see where it goes next!

This was just lovely. The art with color is the best!!

This book is becoming a favorite.

DIO!!!!!!!!!!

Fun, action-packed, all the characters collide and plot basts forward. Grrl Scounts continues to be a punk-themed sci-fi adventure that's here to have fun, laugh, and occasionally make you feel stuff. It's great!

A cathartic end to a wild series!

I'm intrigued.

Fantastic, creepy, and effective. Hairball is gonna be a top series this year.

I wanna see a horror movie made from this so BADLY. Fantastic series.

A unique and compelling take on a character trope that I never I'd see portrayed this way. Kinda incredible so far if only the story is moving a little too fast. The concept is leading the story here, not the characters or even what's actually happening on the page. This has the potential to be really fleshed out.

OMG

Twisted in ways I didn't think possible, Hopeless is really capturing an intense emotion here that makes me excited for the upcoming conclusion.

Twisted and demented.

Fun, visually creative premise with a solid mystery and some strong twists and turns for a #1; sets the groundwork up for what could be a very fun series and if they're lucky, a TV SERIES within the next 1 - 5 years or so on some streaming service, somewhere.

A bit tropey, but plays the cards well. Best part is the characterization, with some really strong dialogue. Love the use of banter between the narration and character bubbles. Vanessa Cardinali's artwork is honestly really great as well. The concept is still rather coasting by through genre conventions, its only issue 2 though; more definitions could be arriving later in the series.

Very solid issue. Character revelations, more whacky dream scenarios and some heavy ones. Slumber continues to be a fun, creative comic with psychedelic explorations.

Best issue of the series so far. The plot is running forward, some fun twists, and fantastic characterization. Slumber is COOL.

Hell of a cliffhanger, Slumber aint scared to go to some dark places.

I really hope this isn't the end, it feels like it's JUST beginning. What a great emotional pay off too.

Really vibed with this one

Same, Sable, Same.

This was so much fun, can't wait to be on the rest of this ride. Wish it was a full ongoing, hopefully it sells well enough to warrant a good number of issues. DP IS BACK and in capable hands!

GASP. This issue was SO GOOD. AND NOW IM LIKE... SCREAMING? AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Lots of fun stuff going on, just weird plotwise considering there's only 3 issues left.

I don't want this book to END.

Another fantastic issue. God I love the Doom Patrol.

We are off with a BANG! Love the balance between the three groups and each character is so strong even with a few panels. The schism between the three groups is also so strong there's so much potential here for some rewarding drama. My only complaint is that two years in and THE FIVE have not been as developed as they should. Always side characters even when they're directly involved. I feel moments here would have hit harder if that work would have been done. The best thing about this is how the issue makes what's occurred in X-MEN, Eternals, and Aaron's Avengers feel completely planned, it's the best things about comics. three years in the making, Judgement Day has the potential to be another War of the Realms event... but... even bigger.

A fantastic read that propels the event up even further in interesting ways, its crazy to think that this event is just starting. But it's clear that the X-Men writing team at Marvel have some big plans and they want to play with big ideas. The pace of this thing is X-CELLENT. Particularly love the inclusion of everyday humans. Though, I'm still missing character development for The Five...

EXPLOSIVE issue with some bonkers ideas! This event is really quite huge in scope but the X-Team feels confident they can lead all this.

VERY DRAMATIC. Eros, looking good.

MARVELous. So much happening and so much revealed. The action is nonstop the character work is intense. This event is still going strong.

A satisfying, even emotional end to a crazy arc. Gillen and team made this a worthy event, let's see what happens next.

Inspector Insector is the best.

A very strong start that plants the seeds of what could be a very exciting story. Also interesting criticisms of democracy in my MARVEL comic, the set up is so strong I worry they won't follow through with what they're saying ala Falcon and the Winter Soldier. My best guess is it'll be ignored and forgotten as the series gets into the BLACK PANTHER vs the Marvel U aspects. But let's see, JOHN RIDLEY stuck to his guns mostly in I AM BATMAN and AMERICAN WAY.

Secrets and lies. I like the sleeper agents, and I want them more fleshed out. But I know that'll probably not happen if the next issue's premise and cover are any indication. Storm's cool tho.

Love the design of this new villain. Let's see where this goes!

A strong entry with some great character moments and intriguing plot intros.

Oh boy, I am loving this.

Fantastic arc. High stakes both physical and emotional. Plenty of action mixed in with great character moments. Built up to this climax and a cliffhanger?! Blue Beetle is is a fantastic BOOK.

A ton of fun and interesting, surprising direction to take! Though all the different skin tones on Jamie depending on the artist was distracting lol

This was so much fun. Give me MORE.

If Warner, Discovery, and DC Animation don't adapt this into one of their films I am going to RIOT.

The paranoia hits hard. I can't believe how emotionally invested I am in this. It's Secret Invasion meets Body Snatchers meets The DCU. No Constantine yet, but I'm dying for him to show up...

This book is a blast.

BRUCE. IF KENT HAD BEEN A VAMPIRE HE WOULD HAVE TURNED YOU IN TWO SECONDS. SMH

Still so so so entertaining. James Tynion IV really knows how to end the world.

Now that is more like it! Strong character work, huge plot developments without feeling rushed or skipped over, instead every panel carries with it a strong sense of paranoiac urgency. It's great stuff. VAMPIRE world is scary as hell, how is anyone going to get out of this one?

This series has been a treat. We are spearing forward towards the end.

We're back to another very strong issue! ARE WE AT THE END?!

Oh, there's gonna be more huh? And so the surprising blockbuster of the year comes to a close... What an insane series.

King just knows how to tell a story.

This is so old school VERTIGO I'm so happy this exists !

Tom King's cooking.

Jesus

This series has been so strange and so dense but a part of me has been enjoying, this issue kinda knocked it out of the park.

The art is soooo fantastic. Peach Momoko, I never want this to end. A ton more characters and myths are introduced, as a result the issue is super expository, but the plots been set up and I'm excited to see where this goes. Again, the artwork in this is stupendous.

Love this so much, the ARTSTYLE.

The artwork continues to pull me through. Story is starting to feel a bit all over the place.

LOL I really enjoyed this

I don't get the haters. This series is so much fun, and I'm going to miss it ;___;

A seemingly stand-alone, back to basics, type of crossover event that matches the tone and aesthetic of its characters with a strong central core. I may pick up the rest of this as well for the spooky elements and the artwork!

Excellent, what a gift of a series.

Fantastic

I enjoyed this start quite a bit, almost wish it was its own epic miniseries in the style of DC vs Vampires, not sure how the rest will go but I will proceed with caution!

Read the first half of this issue listening to INDUSTRIAL HOUSE music. It rocked.

What a book. Holy crap.

This shit is so twisted!

Absolutely deranged. Artwork continues to be fantastic. The series aims to shock but it also successfully engages in surprising, satisfying turns.

A strong start to a new arc brimming with so much potential!

Art, story, character work, emotional beats. This is top tier superhero comics.

I haven't enjoyed Nightwing in like ever, and I've tried picking up the book for over a decade. This run has become one of my favorites.

Event tie-in to suck the air out of the storyline, least there's some cool action here.

Much better than the first issue to the tie-in, loved the flashback between Batgirl and Nightwing. The cover to this issue is great.

See you in Batgirls, realize this arc would have been cool to see animated.

Creative, fun, engaging, and absolutely gorgeous. I see they're going for the Eisner and they'd deserve one, this issue didnt even have ad space. Knocked it out of the damn park. Worth the small tie-in break.

Um... Tom Taylor on a Titans book? Too much? Would it make DC explode? This was stupid enjoyable, Nightwing continues to be such a consistently entertaining, pleasing book.

FINEST SONS, INDEED.

Bruno's artwork is sorely missed but Burges does a fine job and the story is really ramping up! Not a panel wasted, Nightwing isn't just one of my favorite DC titles, it's just one of the best comic runs I've had the pleasure to follow monthly. Love it. Love it. Love it.

This run is just so satisfying. The covers, the artwork, the writing, the plotlines, the aesthetics, and the themes. It's a series filled with hope and heroes and great characters. Super excited for what comes next.

Redondo's art is getting better and better. And the story is heading towards an impact! Nightwing's best achievement all these past months: it's sincere optimism. It's the heart of this title and an aspect and theme of the series that isn't discussed much.

Bruno Redondo's artwork is simply amazing. Another extremely satisfying issue of Nightwing with hints of the troubles coming ahead.

Come on, Melinda! You're better than that! The series is ramping up once more.

Fantastic!

I love this comic, like every time I just get suuuuuucked in.

This issue felt more like they were trying to do MORE set up while dealing with something rather quickly. It was alright, I felt it should have required more of a punch! Still! While not as good as some of the stuff I've read before in this series, this was still an enjoyable plotted issue with some good development for some of the newer characters of the series.

Excited for the TEEN TITANS. Taylor's billionaire heart of gold vs a villain that crushes hearts is the type of hopeful wish fulfillment that tickles me. A prison turned into a symbol of hope and justice. If only.

A story is fun! B story Im kinda done with.

Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo are going for that second Eisner, I see.

I don't like BEAST WORLD.

CUTE! Would like to see an animated film of this or something!

SWORD just keeps getting brought down by events. Still Ewing makes it as entertaining as possible.

Lots of gay, silly fun.

Had a great time with this one, picks up the pace, makes better use of the space. In Rowell, I trust!

Love to read it

This was a great issue, and if Rowell continues this trend, the start of another fun arc for our jade goddess.

They always bring it

SICK

This is gonna be fun, could have been a whole event onto itself but Marvel is showing some restraint.

LOL

Is this going where I think it's going? Because if so this is some of the most messed up shiz Tynion has written so far.

OOSH

Martin Simmonds's artwork is incredible!

LOVED THIS. THE ARTWORK. OMG THE ARTWORK. I have so much hope for this series.

Oh no, the art changed... but this is still a pretty good issue that's a blast!

Fun beats, action packed start to this thing.

Kinda over this event and how its getting in the way of the Guardians.

The character work continues to move me. It's the action-packed nonsense plot that lost me.

Dan and Caspar have really created a Kaiju battle made purely out of haunted houses, traumatized ghosts, and punk music.

Artwork is crazy good as always. Dan Watters is letting his imagination go crazy and somehow it all still sort of fits together. Home Sick Pilots continues to be a series you feel as opposed to strictly follow through it's words.

Caspar Wijngaard is a legend, lot's of answers come through in simple but effective ways. I'm going to miss Home Sick Pilots.

I am really going to miss this series and it's energy. Really hope we get to see an animation for it at some point, I feel it would look amazing.

Thankfully, this is basically the next arc in Jed MacKay's BLACK CAT series. Sooooo grateful we are getting more stories and if this is what it takes to get more of MacKay's Black Cat, so be it, this series rocks.

Jed MacKay you sure know how to have fun with this world and character. So grateful to have more of it!

Things are getting BIG! I am living for this drama!

The variant cover with the cat is so cute.

Ridiculous fun. You know imma be buying and reading Black Cat & Mary Jane, there's no way I'm missing out on that!

Steve Orlando's best work by far with Marvel. This hit all the right spots. Writing is great and the ARTWORK IS AMAZING, OMG. Glad I gave this a chance because this has the potential to be a very great run. Premise is so good Marvel and Disney+ foaming at the mouth.

Oh, I loved it.

This title is scratching an EPISODIC itch I desperately needed scratched. I love how each issue tells its own story with an overarching one. I love how we get to see these amazing female characters interact with Wanda and even have stories with characters that have a relationship with Wanda. It feels big, it feels grand, it feels emotional, and a lot of fun. Great book so far, and it has the potential to be even better. Hope they continue.

OH DEAR

BONUS PAGES?! It's like 2009 again! A decent issue with lots of story

Another fantastic issue!

The 80s retro cannon has expanded to FINALLY include QUEER HORROR. Specs is the comic I've been waiting for a LONG time and this first issue did not disappoint. The art is fantastic and the layers it's working off of are working for me, for those living outside a community's margins, even a blessing can be a curse. Specs understands this and has the potential to be a truly horrific, little comic.

Another strong start for a BLACK HAMMER expansion!

I cried.

Solid, tie in focusing on TONY. A real catch up for anyone who hasn't read his series in a few years. Gillen keeps his strokes broad and dramatic. But... I am sensing and theorizing that all this is just another test, the world hasnt ended, they have another chance. Guess that's better than time travel.

Hell hath no fury like a disappointed Jean.

The most interesting Starfox has ever been. Great issue!

As an AXE tale, it's got nothing to do with it really. As an Iron Fist tale, it was fun! Enjoyed the relationship between Loki and Lin and omg I want them to be together :O Fun issue with some fun character work and fantastic, classic-style art.

I wasn't going to read this because I couldn't bare another psych take on Batman's origins. At this point I'm getting PTSD watching his parents get shot over and over and over and over again. Chip Zdarsky finds new, interesting angels to tackle Bruce at his youth. And the art of Giandomenico is fantastic. Let's see where this road goes.

So much fun and engaging with good characterization. This Batman remix is the most interested I've been in the character in what feels like a really long time.

My favorite thing about this run so far is so Zdarsky introduces all these new personas into the Batman mythos, it honestly does a LOT to make all of this feel fresh and new. Really enjoying this.

This book continues to be so much fun and it does feel so very BATMAN, but more over, it's a BRUCE WAYNE book.

Another solid issue of this pretty great series. The heel-turn present here feels a little forced, Zdarsky continues to explore Bruce's philosophies and where they come from, how they've shaped.

What a fun issue. Zatana is different but it's an interesting take on her character and the mythos. And Wayne as a sorcerer is something that works a lot better than I thought. If anything, I just wish this in particular had a little more to breath but it's still a strong issue in an already strong series.

Some twists here I'm not sure entirely work, but the artwork and this deconstruction of Batman's origin myth still has it's strengths. We are about to head into more familiar ground.

Ah, it's all been leading to this, BATMAN'S big philosophy. (Also I couldn't help but see the two having to lip sync for their life)

It was great to have Carmine Di Giandomenico's artwork the past ten months and this was a solid take on a old tale.

Who is the new Jack in the Green? FABLES 151 comes back as if its never left; the structure and tone fits perfectly with the last arc of the series. Now, may not be a popular opinion, but I absolutely loved the final arc of FABLES for reasons I won't get into now. My favorite element of the series, Mark Buckingham's artwork (something I love more than the writing) is just perfect here. I adore his pencils and the way he brings these characters identity. Now, for new readers, this won't be as enjoyable, I think. There's so much being picked up exactly from issue 150 and before that one could easily get lost. But those are the woods for yeah, aren't they? If you're not careful, you're bound to lose your way. Let's hope Willingham has a bountiful tale for the next 12 issues.

Mark Buckingham's artwork, how I missed it so. And Willingham is leaning into the best things he did for Fables. The voice he gives his characters and the larger-than-life plays that take hundreds if not thousands of years to unfold. A frightening, wondrous world continues to unfold.

Mark Buckingham makes this series. As four young cubs go through adventures, we see old and new faces alike face all too new fates. Fables is bringing the humor, adventure, magic, and horror in a revival that fits right next the best of the series that came before it.

This issue is going to read so much better in a trade, but boy oh boy if I'm not loving the webs its spinning.

Suspiciously more overt than Fables tends to be, with the arc reaching a more traditional "lessons" theme this issue. But where is it all leading to?

Willingham couldn't help himself, Fables 156 is a weird turn for what so far has been a really, solid series. The heavy-handed reactionary writing feels way too overt and in your face it's distracting. Buckingham's art continues to be amazing, wonder where the hell this is going as the tale remains to be unpredictable, and that's still a good thing.

Now to wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.

Surprised this was released after the drama that's unfolded online. But public domain does include DC afterall. Things ramp up like crazy and Fables gears for a showdown. L O L at Cinderella.

OOF

There's a lot of potential here.

This series is so much fun, things are starting to get even MORE creepy.

Another fantastic issue. The art on this series I've come to really love! And the stakes are getting higher and wilder. Just what the hell is going on in this ranch?

Great ideas, wish the build up was better but we're in it now and i hope this next arc finds solid ground next issue.

Gotta admit, I didn't know what to think of last month's twist. But this issue was SO MUCH FUN, I CANT WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK.

Never expected to love this book as much as I have. It is one I look forward to monthly. It tickles my queer-horror-loving-self in all the best ways.

What a fun book. I'm gonna miss it.

Off to a very strong start!

Love what's happening! No idea where it's going, I hope it pays off! Alt timelines being explored ala Moira... but to what end? Hope it's not just because it's cool...

Jeff Lemire has gotten so casual in characterization, but it's really good. The book is brimming with so much potential and Dustin Nguyen's work, while not my fave of his, is still really strong. Strong start to Little Monsters.

This one's delicious, I just know this is going to hurt down the line.

Atmosphere is top notch. Here's a vampire tale I have no idea where is going. Jeff Lemire is tapping into some dark stuff and presenting to us with sincere, childlike wonder.

Artwork is fantastic and world building and character work is great as is standard for Lemire. The paneling is very simple with large blocks of space taking up the page, Little Monster is a very quick read as a result, it's a style Lemire continues to do in works like Black Hammer Reborn and Mazebook. If it wasnt as good as it is, it be quite the empty experience.

It's great but so short, the panels are so wide and i feel two issues could be 1. Get your coin Jeff and Nguyen, the story is still good.

A much more robust issue than normal, this one took a while to read because there was a lot more happening and the paneling was much tighter. Splendid!

More words on the page again! Fantastic! More backgrounds, some action, the series is propelling forward!

Stephen Graham Jones baby! Also huge fan of Dani, wish we'd gotten a Spirit of Vengeance story!

There's so much about food here but that's because we're always so hungry and the food is so good. Looking forward for more Robbie as I love him. And excited to check out Strange Academy. Hope White Tiger some day gets a chance to shine, she has so much potential but no one seems to be able to find the right VOICE for her, I am hoping someone tackle's her soon and succeeds. America also appears to be stuck in limbo in how to write her. Curious to see what the MARVEL films do with her. It was nice to see Anya again but I wish her featured story was stronger, specially since she was sharing panels with Miles.

I gotta SAY, DC's PRIDE issue was better this year haha

A tribute and a re-introduction to a very complex character and story. I am a huge fan of Mark Buckingham so Im super excited that he's the artist on the upcoming series and the work here did not disappoint. 0 is a good indication that the series will remain as experimental and odd and challenging as ever.

The series comes more alive than it's ever been here.

Now that’s how you do a reveal kiss.

Love this series

Excellent issue, excellent characters, this would make a fantastic tv series.

UGH this went by so quick! I NEED ANSWERS NOW.

MY EMOTIONS. Oh my god what is going to happen! I desperately want this title to be an animated series, it would be amazing!

THESE CLIFFHANGERS. I wish some of the more fairy-fable characters had gotten more development to make some of these battles carry a bit more weight. The all fluff is showing strong here and we get another crazy cliff-hanger. The blockbuster takes over the book and I miss the more character focused bit. Welp! Let's see what comes next!

TOM TAYLOR, DON'T STOP.

What a rushed ending. It feels like at least six issues condensed into one. Which is disappointing considering the 17 that came before it. Seven Secrets has been a favorite of mine for months now, sad to see it go, sad to see it go like this. Guess Taylor has been spreading himself thin.

STUNNING

When Al Ewing gives it his all, he knocks it out of the park. I didn't get everything here, mostly cuz I'm skipping the other sinister books, but this was still quite enjoyable.

Pornsak Pichetshote would make an excellent serial television writer. The Dead Boy Detectives are back and they come back with a lot of promise! Now this book almost never sells well so I don't expect it to stick around more than 12 issues (if I am lucky) and Pichetshote has started off this latest adventure with a bang. I already need to know more, story heavy, character heavy, with fantastic art reminiscent of Vertigo's hayday... this series is going to be a TREAT.

Pornsak Pichetshote is giving us a tale of horrors, mystery, grief, and identity while also being super character driven. And I love it!

I love Thessaly as a character but it's becoming clear that she should have had her own series or something.

Didn't read that "event", love the concept, was lost with some of the characters.

A very promising start to a new series close to my heart.

The plot thickens. I love how normal Lemire writes Lucy, here. The mundanity of it all.

Jeff Lemire continues to keep the focus on human characters and motivations, no matter how crazy things get, hearts come out on top.

Deus Ex Colonel.

I know part of Black Hammer's charm is how theyre building a brand new superhero universe in a very Gaiman-Willingham-Cary sort of way, bringing a multiverse like this makes me nervous. Lots a space in this issue too. Let's see where this goes. The little story at the end is cool.

This one is a ton of fun if you read both their miniseries.

Another Weird issue gliding to the Black Hammer-Verse. Something's up and if Weird don't know, I definitely don't.

I have noticed that this REBORN series has a lot of empty space. Story is still very entertaining but I feel these issues go by super quick.

Thing's are crazy bananas! I gotta say that this artstyle is just not working for me, it feels too empty and not in a good clean-pop-up sort of way. Lemire though continues to play into the meta aspects of this title, maybe a little harder than usual, while it's big and bombastic in story, he never loses sight of the emotional cores. Reborn feels like a silver age title more than ever.

An unsurprising cliffhanger but an emotional throughline that works for most of the issue. Multi-verses are all the rage and Reborn is an excellent addition into the concept.

The art still feels so empty for me, compared to the use of space from the original series. Lot's of surprises this issue. Lemire continues to unravel these characters and reshape them throughout Black Hammer.

Feel weird rating this "ending" considering that it is not the end. I can't even really say that this series has taken advantage of the roster of characters it's spent a lot of time and energy developing the last seven years. The status quo shifts, choices are made, and the worlds are ending... just another day in SPIRAL CITY.

Love a lot what it's doing. Wish the story had a TON more room to breath but with comics... sometimes you don't get all the space you desire. At the very least, there's a ton of interesting, engaging plot.

It's giving THE CITY WE BECAME a bit Which I love but this isn't AS good yet

This feels classic.

Pace is off on this one, feeling clunky. Tie it up together Taylor! John Timm's art is also sorely missed.

And we're back! Absolutely adore John Timm's work. Taylor's Saturday Morning Cartoons energy is paced stronger here with some fine characterization and the pace is better with the issue ramping up and slowing down when it needs to. Jon is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters in comics, can't wait to see where this goes next.

That's more like it, But JON, that pizza is gonna be damn COLD. I was loving the covers of this book a lot more earlier on, I don't understand the covers that are out with these current issues, they don't feel like theyre a part of this story... Anyway, WOO HEE things are about explode. The little moment between Robin and Jon made my heart skip.

This is the issue that's felt the closest to SEVEN SECRETS. Undercover organizations, complex scenarios ripe with misunderstanding (on purpose and not on purpose). I feel bad for Jon, how's he gonna get out of this one. Also Aquaman's in this one and he's fun.

The Bendix plan is revealed and I admire how Jon is presented to do whatever it takes to protect those who need it. The manipulation and gaslighting from Bendix makes for quite the easy-to-hate villain, I'm looking forward to seeing him fall.

I loved this, out of the two titles, NIGHTWING is the much stronger one, and that energy bleeds into this issue. Best issue of this series so far.

Continues to be as enjoyable as ever. And a Tom Taylor classic hell-of-a-cliffhanger. SUPERMAN: SON OF KAL-EL is the sort of series I would have loved to see animated as a kid growing up. Great moments between characters and ugh really wanna punch Lex in the face right now.

Some great character moments sprinkled throughout. The plot's moving forward. A little messy towards the end but the stage's been set for a confrontation. The mixed artwork on this series has been too inconsistent for my liking, but it gets the job done enough. Let's see what happens next issue.

A very solid issue, Taylor's tackling large systemic threats, while it's not as strong as the sibling title: Nightwing, there's at least several moments with the little doggo. This is also the strongest issue of this series in a few months. What felt out of focus and all over the place is beginning to lock into place. There are also some loving responses to THE BOYS here. Been binging the series finally and the nods to it here are quite a bit of fun. Can't wait to see what happens next!

First, I'm a he/they latine nerd who loves comics too much. This issue should have knocked it out of the park. Dreamer's short during 2021's PRIDE issue was exceptional and much better than this. First, the artwork is kinda meh, the colors are flat and the action is flat, panels are so wide and we spend so much page on empty spaces. The best part of the issue is the character of Dreamer, as she has an interesting powerset and a very likable look and personality. She can move through dreams and to me that sounds like something that has the potential to be so visually interesting and creative, but they don't do anything with her powerset other than the cover. The plot also takes some sharp turns and developments making me feel like I missed a few issues on a series that's already taking its sweet time developing Bendix as a villain. Son of Kal-El #13 should build up on what it's done so far, and the debut of a character like Dreamer really had the chance to be something special. Here's to hoping the rest of the arc utilizes her better.

The book is getting back on track. An important character is finally getting development and the stakes have sky-rocketed!

A shucks! This drama is engaging!

Is James Tynion IV OK? The mysterious femme killer in this looks a lot like Bimini Bon Boulash.

Sometimes I'm like I read too many comics, Im still reading comics, I should stop or slow down cuz im getting older and everything. Then I read something like this issue and I'm like, yeah, this is why I buy and read comics!

Feels like a sister series to NICE HOUSE ON THE LAKE

Intriguing, but this is getting messy.

I get a good mystery required patience, but this feels like theyre drawing a lot of this out. Not saying it's bad, it's just starting to get kinda boring and expected.

Very strong set ups, even the back up is haunting. Can't say I understand what's happening 100% but that's the thing with mysteries. Really looking forward for the rest of this series.

I really like both stories here, but I wish theyd be told in their own arcs. Split like this, it splits my focus and I can't fully appreciate both. Maybe I'm getting old, LOL. The second half story with Gordon is the better of the two, feels like old school Vertigo. The art is amazing.

I am enjoying the tone and writing on this a lot. I really love Ram V and Spurrier's styles and both their tales have their strengths. Sometimes though, I wish they got to write their own thing, in the sea of BATMAN tales I am currently reading, this just feels like "another one"

I am losing interest in this tale, lots happening but it's all falling kinda mute for me now.

Vibed with this one much better!
