This was...a start. I enjoyed Rowell's Runaways run but this just felt like like it was all set up for this story. That is not bad per se but I did not find it super engaging. The twist at the end will be interesting come the next issue and I really did like the art and inks. I think that my opinion on this issue will improve when I read it in a sequence of serialized stories as this book comes out, but this first issue as a standalone was not my favorite book this month by any means.

I am revisiting some moments from DC Rebirth. I am a huge Lantern fan and I enjoy both Cruz and Baz but I found their dynamic together, at least in this issue, a tad annoying. Additionally, one of ComicsGates' worst illustrates this story. I love Lantern books as a whole but it is always a shame to see his work comprising a good bit of the character's recent runs.

I did not love this two parter but it was a nice side story. I am ready to get back into the Bendix arc and see more of what he has to offer at the major threat of this book.

An improvement upon the Rebirth one shot for this book. The status of the Red Lanterns is odd but they are a set of characters I always love to see utilized.

I have been picking up Marvel Voices since the Pride anthology and I love them. The Big Two rarely put our anthologies so Marvel consistently putting these out is a good change of pace and very important to culture. It is nice to enjoy shorter comic stories in between my ongoings and minis. Overall, this has been the briefest Marvel Voices I can remember and that is shame. I hope that the next time they create one of these for indigenous creators and characters there is more overall content. Although this anthology is very brief - the content that here is very strong. We get characters both old and new. The American Eagle story, to me, is the highlight of this book. This coverage of Native Americans and their culture being exploited harkens back to a class I took on the Ethnohistory of Native Americans. This tale was sad but rang very true. This story made me very hungry for an American Eagle ongoing or mini in this same vein. I would love to see this team get that opportunity.

Found this issue to be a pretty fun coming of age story centered on a biracial protagonist. It is light and shows us the effects of a hero, Batman in this case, on a child whose parents work for various villains. This is an interesting story and I am glad it is being told. The ending brings in some goofy body horror and I am interested to see where that goes ultimately.

I have decided to revisit this series because it came up on Twitter in a discussion of the Lanterns' treatment during the New 52. This title is really great and often gets lost in the shuffle when it comes to New 52 books as a whole. In this issue, Cullen Bunn does a great job depicting Sinestro rising from the ashes of the Rise of the Third Army and Wrath of the First Lantern story arcs. I thoroughly enjoyed this first issue, although I had to read it digitally.

This was my least favorite issue of the series so far, but that says a lot given how good this issue still is. I loved the Truth setup, the Aquaman crossover, and the setup for next issue. I think I will like this issue more when I get to read both parts of this story together. I do miss John Timm's art but this issue is still beautiful.

A strong start to DC's next big event makes legacy the star of the show. Cape comics can be an impenetrable hobby due to the shear amount of canon and baggage attached. It can be overwhelming and stories too steeped in canon can be slogs to read, especially for anyone who is not caught up, which is virtually most people who don't read and write comic books for a living. Joshua Williamson is one of my favorite writers because he has this ability to respect canon and to make it easy and fun. This book features a wide swath of characters. It harkens back to many incarnations of the Justice League and the DC continuity. It even pokes fun at there being two mostly different Blue Beetles on the team. Williamson makes this stuff and playful and fun but also adds emotional weight and depth to this blockbuster. When it comes to the art, Sampere does a great job drawing a large number of DC heroes and villains. I loved the designs and a lot of Sampere's facial expressions are very well done. There is an exchange between Jon Kent and Nubia in the book and the facial close ups really help relay what the characters are feeling in this moment. This issue sets the stage for legacy characters and obscurer characters to step up to the plate and I am excited to see that hopefully continue throughout the series. If you are looking for a big event book, I think this issue sets a strong start for this one.

This was a beautiful issue due to Schmidt's art and inks. The story was pretty good and allowed a lot of players in this story to come together.

World's Finest Sons was a fun book. I think that, so far, I prefer this two parter to the last Son of Kal-El two parter. Son of Kal-El #8 ended with us finally getting some answers about Bendix's plan so I hope that this two parter builds onto that. I liked the dynamic we see between Dick Grayson and kid Jon versus Dick Grayson and grown up Jon. I dig that Taylor writes a very hopeful view of superheroics. Jon Kent and Dick Grayson seek to do good both in and out of costume and that helps flesh out these characters more. I also love this cover by Bruno Redondo.

This issue was obviously a dialogue heavy build to things to come. Rainbow Rowell is great at building up a cast of characters that we care about and I am certain many of the interactions throughout this issue will pay off later. We see a lot of time spent between Jack and She-Hulk and I love the two's dynamic in this issue. Additionally, Bartel is an excellent artist and brings a fun feel to this book.

I think I prefer #10 but this series is hitting the point where we seem to be reaching the climax of the Bendix arc.

This was another well-done issue. It focused primarily on the action of Deathstroke's assault on Titans Academy. I loved the Green Lantern content at the end of the issue and the art continues to be solid.

Really enjoyed this second issue! The art and designs are beautiful. The coloring of this book makes it look zany and fun and dynamic. It serves to give the book a very fun vibe overall. In terms of story, this issue helped to begin assembling the titular Jurassic League while also building upon the Robin & Batman dynamic and giving us more insight into our villains. I loved the inclusion of Atrocitus in this book as I did not expect it at all. This is a fun little book and I am excited to read it further.

This was a very strong second issue. I was not super impressed by #1 but this was a strong follow up. The art and narrative both flowed really well.

This was a fantastic issue that really showed off the badassery of Lois Lane. Taylor obviously has immense respect for Lois Lane as a character and I absolutely dig it. I miss Timm's artwork but Tormey is not too shabby. This issue has a lot of highlights and a cliffhanger I am unsure about but I am interested to see how this story progresses.

This story is amazing and, through both Clark and Jon content, shows the reader that Tom Taylor deeply understands Superman as a character. I have grown tired of edgy and cynical takes on the Man of Steel so seeing a writer so proudly write about the Man of Tomorrow is so important. I have been loving this book and this annual just continued that trend. Lex Luthor plays off of both Superman's very well. His underestimated of Jon Kent plays well and works as a good way to end the book. I am excited to hopefully see Lex and Jon interact more in the future.

I really enjoyed! These anthologies are always very exciting for me because it allows me to read about characters I usually might not pick up and read the work of writers or artists I may be unaware of. Marvel Voices does this well. Women of Marvel does this well. I felt as though the Black Cat stories sometimes felt disjointed but overall this was an enjoyable group of stories. I recommend picking this up.

This was another very exciting issue! I loved the Batfamily dynamic and am excited to see Bruce wage this war against the vampires.

This issue ups the ante as we see the two major factions against the Vampires intersect for the first time, the Batfamily and the Arrow Family. I am excited to see the groups mingle more but the underlying distrust the vampires are sowing is making this series very captivating. The art is amazing and the moments between Batman and Zayna are very strong. The cliffhanger of this issue is sure to have disastrous ramifications so I am pumped for the next issue.

The story of this issue is amazing. The art did not initially work for me but the sequences towards the end, especially the final fight, work very well artistically.

Another fun collection of short stories!

This was a really fun detour for Devil's Reign. It works as a standalone story, and allows us to see more of Hunter's Moon.

This was a really fun little special taking place between Superman: Son of Kal-El #1 and #2. This book is just a fun adventure where Tomasi gets to write these characters again and it is amazing. I never read the original Supersons, but as someone who has been enjoying Son of Kal-El I have heard how good the run was and how controversial Bendis' aging up of Jon is. I loved Tomasi's time on the Green Lantern Corps book long ago and his writing continues to be fun here. The art and inks of this book are also whimsical and light. I recommend this book if you are a fan of Jon Kent or Damian Wayne.

This is an extremely strong issue to start with. It gives us a good sense of this world and just how far-reaching this comic intends to be. This issue uses the framing device of Spider-Man explaining how this world came to be, and this works brilliantly. This issue shows the X-Men, Avengers, Runaways, Champions, and more. Tom Taylor represents a large swath of the greater Marvel Universe - and no one seems safe from death. The deaths in this initial issue are horrifying as the Unmaker (which has a design I really liked btw), tears apart the Thing and the Scarlet Witch, before stabbing Dr. Strange. The Vision is also presumably dead as he was inside of the Unmaker when the EMP blast went on. This issue shows the darkness of this world and I am excited to see where Tom Taylor takes it. The page showing Iban Coello's Iron Man design is also really neat - as his art works really well for this book.

Another great issue that continues to set up exactly what this will be. One thing that I appreciate about this series is that it is not fully a dark series. The world is post apocalyptic and gritty, but Taylor is sure to tell a story of cooperation and hope even when things fall apart. I think many stories in this vein tend to dive way too deep into the edginess, but this series maintains an even yet varied tone. The art and inks continue to be superb. The inclusion of Purple Man, who I always think of due to his depiction in the Jessica Jones Netflix show, was really rad and I cannot wait to see the other characters this series utilizes.

Issue #3 continues the trend of great things from this issues. Marking the halfway point of this 6 issue miniseries, we see Quicksilver used to attack our heroes. I loved the Doctor Doom design and dialogue in this issue. The idea of some villains working with the heroes instead of Apocalypse is interesting and I hope this is not the last we see of Doom specifically. I love Spidey's role in this series because he continues being narrator without making this a Spider-Man book unnecessarily.

I. fucking. love. this. book. Peter Parker begins to take stage moreso as a character and less than a narrator and it works very well as we enter the second half of this series. This issue brings humor, edge, and action. The Nick Fury sendoff works very well and I got my wish when it comes to further Doom representation. The art and inks continue to fucking slap and Taylor keeps the story extremely engaging. I love the world that this team has built.

First of all, this cover is fantastic and will likely stick out in my brain when I think of this series years from now. Tynion and Rosenberg craft a fun, yet horrifying story here as we follow Andrew Bennet as he tries to warn the DC heroes of the coming threat. Otto Schmidt's art and inks were a huge highlight in this book for me. The red tint given to the flashbacks were beautiful. The flashback including Lex Luthor was my favorite part of this issue because of Lex Luthor's character moment where he tells Bennet to let people know that he saved them. I am excited to see where this goes next.

This shit is dumb and I adore it. The art and inks are beautiful and the story is fun and light so far. I dug this first issue.

So this is my reread of this book, as I want to revisit issues 1-6 as they are in the first collected edition of this series. The vampire story in this issue is interesting and fun to me because the vampires talk about vampirism as if it is this massive pyramid scheme in which each person you turn into a vampire (bringing them into the structure) becomes your sub-ord. It is a really fun play on vampire tropes and I am glad that this is the first threat we see Moon Knight protecting his Mission from - as he is a superhero deeply tied to a lot of Marvel's horror characters. Rachelle Rosenberg's colors in this book really make every action scene, drawn by Alessandro Cappuccio, pop. The oranges used in the scene between Moon Knight and the vampires is beautiful and perfect, as it compliments the red of their eyes. Additionally, the idea of Moon Knight having a neighborhood under his jurisdiction and his protection if very interesting to me. Daredevil has Hell'S Kitchen. Spidey primarily operates out of Brooklyn. Luke Cage is in Harlem. Having Moon Knight protect his Midnight Mission I think helps to ground the character. We get to see Moon Knight talking to a therapist throughout this arc, which is something I very much enjoy. This dialogue lets us get deep into the psyche of the character without it just being him monologuing. I love the cast that is being built around Moon Knight here - Soldier. Reese. Dr. Badr. The Therapist.

This is such a fun issue spinning out of the chaos of last issue (where Moon Knight, Zodiac, and Hunter's Moon all clashed). We get to see more Tigra. We get to see 8-Ball return from the first issue. We get to see Moon Knight tear through villains. This issue is fun and brutal and explains to us one of the reasons why Moon Knight is so interesting - he is deeply unpredictable. I love this series a lot and this issue brings so much to light, while also keeping readers interested in things to come.

I think this may be my favorite issue of this series so far. This issue is written, drawn, and inked beautifully. It features great twists and turns and dialogue. And it allows us to see a dark side of Moon Knight before we prepare for what seems to be the ultimate clash against Zodiac. I love this book.

Now THIS style of crossover, in my opinion, is the lifeblood of shared universe superhero comics. I love how this developed two characters, Jon and Dick, while also advancing The Rising arc currently unfolding in Jon's book. This reminded me of the style of crossover I used to read as a kid when The Punisher would pop up in the Ghost Rider book for a couple of issues. Absolutely no hate to big event comics, but this is the kind of crossover I find myself enjoying a lot more. I loved everything about this little crossover :)
