This was where ASM started losing me. Judgement Day Axe, totally lame, especially after the Tombstone arc which was really good. Even the issue that had the throwback to the robot from the old ASM issues was really good, alo the Vulture issue was cool!. The next few issues on ASM after this one were good, not great. Then I threw in the towel after issue #14 with the Dark Web crap. But this is where ASM 2022 started to decline for me.....

HOT GARBAGE! GOOD-BYE SPIDEY IT WAS NICE KNOWIN' YA! I think I'll check out Spider-man once they drop this Dark Web trash. As of now, I'm done with ASM. Collected up to this issue and I'm just sick of it, lackluster, no story at all. Sorry, it sucks. Better comics are out there that actually still have talented writers and care about story, so I'll put my hard earned money toward that. Total let down especially with the first 5 issues being much better (Though that is not saying much). This pile of dog poop is unreadable, forgettable gibberish, I did not even finish reading it. BORING. DULL. LAME. UNIMAGINATIVE. It all went down hill since the Axe Judgement day stuck it's nose in ASM and ruined the pace. Dark web not only ruins the pace, it pisses all over any enthusiasm one may have over Spider-man right now. Bye bye for now Spidey, but for now if I get a Spidey itch, I'll fare better reading the old ASM issues I have. This new rendition does Spider-man no justice at all!!!

Really, are we really salivating out the mouth for this? I understand why people are excited for this new run. No more Zeb Wells, now we can start fresh. Well not exactly. Starting this issue the first panel was striking and really popped out but the dialogue in the action panel was so disjointed and lame I had to look it over a couple times to really find the flow. Which there wasn't any flow at all no matter how hard one tries. Going on, it seems like a step up that we are now reading from Peter's perspective but it feels to fast paced and rushed and when the moment Doctor Doom comes in the impact is not what it should be. It all just comes off kind of schizophrenic. SPOILER When Peter becomes like Doctor Strange or whatever Doctor Doom turned him into so Spider-Man can fight the forgettable generic demon thing, Peter has to die each time and when he dies for the first time being sucked into the black hole of the demons mouth it was just. Dumb. Even explaining this moment for this poor humble reviewer here has deduced some IQ points. Like it was something you would come up with when talking to your goofy friends when you use to be in middle school. When your a middle schooler at that time maybe that idea sounded really epic bruh, but on paper its just stupid. Maybe the lack of build up toward Peter's horrifying black hole death is what ruins the moment maybe? After finishing this the same feeling came over me like when I finished #6 of the Zeb Wells run. But at least I enjoyed the first 5 issues, until it quickly got scrapped and it went downhill from there as we all know. Yet here we are a new start and already I am so underwhelmed and feel like there is no thought to this. It just feels like pulling out so many tricks at once you see through the illusion right away. I don't care if people don't like what this review says who will actually read it? But if you even go far back too those old comics even to the very beginning of Spidey's existence, even with some of the silliness it all made sense to a degree. This is just bad. Only giving it a 5.5 because I don't want to be to harsh for the new start but not liking its direction.... Screw you I could give it a 2 but at least the art is nice...

Just no. I did a pretty good write up on the previous issue giving it a 5.5. This issue doesn't even deserve an explanation on why it is receiving a low score from me. The reveal of the last demon just turned me off so much I am not looking forward to what these "writers" have in store for #63. Please God make them stop give Spidey a good long break... Lame, corny, bad.

Amazing Spider-Man is dead. This was nothing but the Demon Cyrios dragging Peter through all of his tragic 'member moments throughout his life. The dialogue was even worse than the previous issue, no improvement at all. Was willing to give it another chance but I'm dropping ASM for good. I lasted 14 issues with Zeb Wells, this lasted me by issue #3. And I mean for good... Not a single line of dialogue stuck with me, it all went out one ear and out the other, not a single panel had a decent action drawing or just good drawing at all. The best part about this comic was page 12 or 13 where Peter fools Cyrios punches her down the floor, and she is shown laying down in a sexy position wearing lingerie with her ass pointing right at the reader, no joke. Amazing Spider-Man is dead, your all just fondling it's corpse at this point and I refuse to support this trash.

Great Start! After reading Timeless #1 I wasn't sure where it was fitting into this issue but it all makes sense by the end and I loved it. Jed Mackay knocked it out of the park with this ish. How he went back and forth showing the present battle the Avengers were having to 7 days ago Captain Marvel persuading this avenger, present day battle, 6 days ago etc. At first it was a little jarring but once I got into the rhythm of the story I couldn't drop the ish. I love the "Were called the Avengers as a warning to ourselves of what we can lose." Each small introduction to each Avenger was a nice slice of what they will be like during this run and I really like what is on offer here. I don't feel the need to read anything previous except for Timeless which I already did, and am happy to just stick with reading this run without crossing over to anything else.

Excellent flow, really feels like Mackay knows his stuff and how to handle different characters.

Love it!

I am just really enjoying these no-brainer pure Avengers comics.

Out of all the weird Halo 4 like villains (I mean Diadem makes me think of the forerunner aliens from Halo lol) the best one I liked was between Captain Marvel and Lord Ennui. The idea of Lord Ennui going to the busiest most populated place and basically bringing stillness to it slowly is a great idea.

So basically the Avengers get their version of the Justice League's watchtower. Very neat, I love how simple this series is, feels very much like the classics.

Eh, I took a two month hiatus on reading new comics and coming back I have to say I did not miss much. The last good issue for this series was #20 when Black Panther was in that pocket dimension helping some resistance group, I loved that concept. But it really has been just going through the motion since that ish. This should be great, Kang hiring Black Cat to help steal (well honestly I forgot what it was called), Black Cat getting her father in on it. But it sucks. I don't know, the writing, the pacing, the dynamics between each member. Just sucks... Gonna go back to staying away from this. Will probably check it out when Black Panther comes back.

Very dark, gritty, and fast-paced comic. Wanted more after I finished it so quickly! Can't wait to see where this mini goes!

The art is phenomenal. This second issue though lacks the intrigue I felt from the first issue. Nonetheless enjoying it very much and can't wait for #3!

Series is still going good, loving it still!

It's okay, feels a bit water-down. Cool that you get the code at the end of the comic to apply toward the game.

Improvement from the first issue. Story is starting to connect with the game world. *SPOILER* Court of Owls in the 1800s show up in this issue. Pretty cool so far, not anything mind blowing but consistent story.

Beautiful, comic nirvana. I was coming in not knowing what to expect but after the first couple of pages I fell in love with this humble one-shot. Seeing JMS as the writer definitely got my attention. Nonetheless the art was great and the dialogue was perfect, bringing depth to Volstagg like this is extremely creative. Going to check out the previous issue of Doom and Rocket now because I liked this so much and will read next ish, I mean Nick Fury and Fin Fang Foom?!! Now this is comic book heaven for me!!!

Definitely the top issue of this series, plenty of great moments to absorb in #10! Still my only grief is, why Nightwing as the King of Vampires? This has not been answered, and just does not fit Nightwing's character to me. I don't like him as the villain, but I don't know that is me. Nonetheless great series for crazy vampire stuff!

I really liked the choice of characters for this series. Deathstroke, Midnighter, Azrael, and so many unique DC characters!

This is just really nice, it's the characters that make this so interesting, and how they adapt to the situations.

While the action was fast-paced and fun in this issue, the writing was a bit scattered. There were some plot-holes that kind of bothered e too, but nothing that killed the story for me.

This was the issue that got me back into reading comics again at age 25. Listening to Thinking Critical's Youtube channel, he recommended this comic for wrestling fans. I'm glad I listened, not only have I been loving this series and hope the artist decides to do more and expand one day on this, but I also am thankful for Do a Powerbomb for getting me back into a great hobby.

Words cannot describe how much I love this short series. Great art, great story, fantastic characters. Wrestling fans, rejoice!

Okay the writers definitely have been reading Do A Powerbomb and want to have some wrestling with the Flash. Does it work? YES! This issue was a lot of fun to read!!

I did not think I would enjoy this issue as much as I did! I have been underwhelmed lately with the Amazing Spider-man run that is going on right now. Nonetheless I wanted to give Gold Goblin a shot since it has a different creative team working on it. The writing is interesting, to the point, and strings you along the psychological ups and downs of Norman's new life as the Gold Goblin. Even with his past sins removed, his conscious is growing guilt, where his past evil deeds are whispering in his ear (literally). It' not only the writing that is a huge upgrade from the current Amazing Spider-man issues, it is the art as well! The art by Lan Medina hits it on the nail and enhances Christopher Cantwell's flow of writing. I know it is not right to compare this to the current ASM run, but I cannot help it as this new series is branching off from ASM into a main series for Norman. My hope is they can retain this quality for a long time, unlike ASM 2022 which was only good for the first five issues and then totally lost it's beat when they dropped Tombstone for the lame Dark Web or Axe Judgement day nonsense. Sorry that's just how I felt. Also to illustrate the superb flow of art and writing, Gold Goblin does a much better job when bringing in Gwen Stacy to show the reader Norman's guilt manifesting before our eyes. Compared to when ASM brought Gwen to talk to Peter and give him a "Thumbs Up" if I remember to say he is worthy or some baloney.The ASM version was totally devoid of any emotion, missing the mark big time. While Gold Goblin uses Gwen's horrific moment of death and the action of it to show Norman's inner torment. This is an unexpected great start to a new series, my only advice to the creative team: keep your focus on your story. Leave the "events" out, don't drop your story like ASM did to Tombstone to rush in Dark Web. Give Norman a brutal, "Goblin Odyssey" of Redemption and you will have a gem no one would have guessed!!!

Harley Quinn is going in a whole new direction and I am very happy with this issue! I caught up on my reading with this series, I took a little time off because I was underwhelmed with the previous issues of Harley. The previous issues aren't as bad as many make it out to be, I got some genuine laughs from them, but I was left with feeling that Harley deserves more and she can be better. And this is certainly a good step forward for one of my favorite characters. I must add that the new art is spot-on, beautiful, and lovely! The art on the previous issues were nice, mediocre at best, fit for a child's graphic novel. Harley should be grittier, with some light moments... The new look by Matteo Lolli is simply great and I pray that DC comics KEEPS MATTEO LOLLI FOR A LONG TIME ON HARLEY QUINN, this will be good for the series. So for those of you who are not sure about giving this series a shot, this is now the time to jump in. I believe it's about to really pick up now. And the next issue proved my instinct as issue #23 was even better than this! Can't wait to read issue #24!!!! I would like to say more but I will reserve those thoughts for my review on issue #23, and the big one I am looking forward to picking up #24 (with the cool 90's variant cover). I am not a critic, nor being payed for this review, or getting any freebies to write this. I am genuinely a Harley fan who has been sticking with Harley even in some rough cycles.

Sorry but I am enjoying this! As the last two issues really started picking up, issue #24 continues the rhythm and is really fun to read for me. I found the dialogue between Harley and Zsasz to work well, and was very funny when Harley forced him to help find out who her murderer was by dressing up as detectives. The comic is not the best comic ever, but it is still a good time in a quirky way. The reveal at the end is pretty cool and I hope issue #25 has a good fight sequence between Harley and her killer. Again the Art by Lolli fits this story, love the style now, and the pacing of the panels are a good beat.

I don't know.. Not bad, but not good either... Okay so coming from someone who did read the whole Stephanie Phillips run and one of the minority that enjoyed a good amount of it I must say this is not a good start to a new Harley Quinn run. Tini Howard turned me off completely so I've been out of the Harley comics since issue #30 I think? I was pissed then because I thought Phillips was really getting a good beat on Harley and just when it was really getting good (for me personally) they took her off in place of Howard, like why? So I heard recently that they started a new run with this writer and honestly there is good potential here in the writing style. Elliot certainly has a good grasp of Harley's ebb and flow and how she perceives the world around her but what is really dragging it down is this art style. I am so sick of this Disney cartoon style for Harley Quinn, the anarchist, the "villain" and I guess sometimes anti-hero to but I prefer when she is full evil. Phillips played around with this good guy bad guy side of Harley but I thought it worked giving the context of each scenario. This comic has no hook at all that makes me look forward to reading the next issue which I am about to do. Of course none of these writers hold a candle to Paul Dini' previous works but we have to work with what we have right now. Writing is good could use a little less pop culture to it, and a little more grit, art style needs to change asap, this art is crap and totally water down the badass Harley really could be. Harley can still be goofy (I guess) but she needs a badass look or something more that pops. I like the hairstyle she has, but nothing stands out about the costume at all. Begrudgingly going to read #45 but not enthusiastic to do so...

Slightly improved from issue #44 I guess... ...That's not saying much though. While there was more action in this issue the action was predictable, lame and poorly drawn. There's one panel where Harley goes for the final blow with her bat against this generic henchman and it is so bad. The proportion makes no sense and it has no impact at all. That action panel was the perfect opportunity to do a bloody crazy drawing of Harley smashing the dudes face in but no this is Harley for kids I guess. Which is absurd because Harley is constantly letting us know what a horny lesbian she is, because you know tumblr and shipping is just dandy when writing comics. As I stated previously, this Disnification of Harley is still a mistake that needs to stop, and they need to bring grit and roughness to Harley comics. The writing is slightly cute and the whole sympathy for the Chicken Fingers character is touching but really it all feels like nothing. Like there's no meaning at all to anything I'm reading here. I get what the author's beef and message is throughout the comic but honestly it is really not a good motivation for Harley. It just feels like reaching for ideas here that aren't really there. Last issue I gave a 4 and only made this a five because it was a little better in terms of pacing. Still crap though, not diarrhea, its that kind of crap that no matter how hard you try to squeeze it out it just sticks there ya know? Poor Harley, she deserves better...

DC sucks. Stop making comics and spare us from this garbage. Please people stop giving your hard earned cash to DC they have completely ruined every character. Better comics from Marvel, and if that doesn't do it go back to the oldies. Do not support this, Harley deserves better.

Another epic comic this month! So again I misjudged this book because I wasn't that impressed by the cover. I still wanted to give it a shot being WWII themed. So happy I did because just like my surprise from the gritty Sabretooth #1 this gritty Wolfenstein-esque comic was fantastic. The art is just right and really gives you this Band of Brothers feel that takes a supernatural twist. I know this has been done plenty of times but this jumped you right into the action and wasted no time. I love that between this and Sabretooth the writer and artist are not afraid to get bloody and violent in their panels allowing the reader to invest in the life and death situations of these dark worlds. Of course Nick Furry has to be in this, so him teaming up with this Ghost Rider is gonna be crazy! Also I notice Szardos may be wearing an Eye of Agamoto around his neck? My only nitpick is why make Peggy Carter French resistance, I would have kept her as SAS or English? I mean she even still has the same name. Carter being either English, Scottish or Irish. So even if you made her Irish or Scottish it wouldn't be as far fetched as French. But still happy to have Peggy in the Howling Commandos going to be epic! Keep up the great work!!

Just started this series and #1 is great, the art is just right, and the story while not starting from scratch or being to heavy on past context gives the reader a great base to start on Thor.

The elder gods are Thor's answer to Cthulu and honestly I'm loving the dark horror of what is threatening our Norse god.

AN ACCIDENTAL MASTERPIECE? This ish had some great dialogue between the shape shifting Loki god of stories and Thor. How Loki starts boyish, to girlish and then a mix at first came off as agenda driven however the further you read the story it makes sense in the context of what Loki is doing. Loki is offering to aid Thor and clearly the reader in one panel sees how Loki is somehow pulling the strings but as to why one can only guess? As Loki gives Thor a necessary test to prepare him for the next battle with Toranos Loki changes constantly in emotion and physically as well until he reveals his full androgynous god form. It is a bit creepy, a perfectly drawn female head with twisted horns and hair but the body of a man at least that's what it seems. At first I was put off, but the more I thought about it the more horrifying Loki became in this particular ish. Why am I focusing on this aspect? Well like in the Vote Loki comic there is a small part where he shape shifts into a woman. The reason was actually logical and comedic simultaneously. When asked why are you now a woman Loki responded with "Trying to see if this will improve my chances to win the Presidency." Clearly a subtle jab and cultural joke on how politics is surface level bullshit. In this ish Ewing is probably aiming to get your goad because of his ideology if he has one but if that is the case he fails in this respect. Instead by accident Ewing created a Loki that is endemic and symbolic of our current turbulent times. Constantly changing, unsure, a pendulum swinging from right to left, boy/girl. This is the embodiment of madness, Loki has reached truly the height of deception and insanity. For Thor reminds the reader throughout this ish that "the storyteller lies" and only stays true for the story. Why this particular theme really excites my imagination is because being a fan of the Loki TV show as well, this makes me wonder if Loki when becoming the god of stories retained his new persona of selflessness from being with Sylvi, Mobius, B-15 and company. Or did he attain his goal of ultimate godhood where even Thor if Thor would understand this new height of Loki, would be absolutely terrified of his brothers ascendance. In other words, is all of this the work of Loki? Does Loki being the god of stories, the maintainer of the multiverse, does he even have sway on the elder gods? Thus his constantly shape shifting form throughout this ish symbolizing this possible inner conflict of accepting this new godhood and using it for nefarious purposes or fighting to retain his heroic capabilities? This is probably over thinking it, but isn't that the fun of reading comics? So just for that intellectual stimulation this ish gets a perfect 10!

Though not as masterful as previous issues this was still a blast to see everyone sharing Thor's hammer to take down Toranos. My only beef in this is some of the characterization going on, Storm is pretty mean these days and not just in Thor but in the Avengers run too I've noticed. She is very short with people and has an uppity attitude like her shit doesn't stink. I'm sure there's a good reason for this that I might of missed in some series but I still don't like her current persona. Like when Thor ask for her help, Storm treats him like dog shit, she uses her atmospheric pressure powers on him to make him feel the crushing weight and strikes him hard with lightning which of course he speaks to the lightning to ease off and it obeys. Storm has this same cliche line that also came up on Avengers #20 or #21 by Jed Makay I think where she says "I must be equal." In avengers when talking to Scott she says roughly "I no longer work in groups that have a leader, only in groups that are equal to eachother." Storm sounds like a pissy 5 year old to me and clearly her anger comes out more when the person she is talking to is white. This hatred really comes out on poor Thor! None of the others come off like this though Jane was pretty nice, Bill having felt angry about Thor ended up making up with him after the defeat of To ranks and they had a real bro moment that I loved. Obviously Storm being mean is some kind of editorial agenda if she is just like this now I guess. Nonetheless the Thor stuff in this is golden baby!

I accidentally wrote all of my thoughts about this two issue arc on the previous review so you can see my detailed thoughts on both this and previous ish on the #4 page.

This was good but some things left me with more questions than answers.

The art is chefs kiss but the story in this was a bit lacking, the most memorable part was when Thor was told to pick up the cute little green cat. I laughed when he picked it up by the stomach and it stretched like Mr. fantastic then slowly transformed into the beast you see on this issues cover. That was great fun!

TURNS ON THE IMAGINATIVE JUICES The foreboding atmosphere each panel brilliantly throws at the reader keeps the intrigue high. Thor coming face to face with mother Gaia gets some background on Atum the Sun god and how Gaia has the ability "key" from Utgard Loki to unlock the gates which causes extinction level events when she pleases. Obviously being a symbol of the environmentalist climate change ideology mother Gaia is tired of humans using her and treating her like shit with Roxxon oil. A bit on the nose and kind of hokey but Thor's response brings you back into the comic world. Thor chops her head off with a vicious swing, I loved this. Again I'm sure Ewing is a leftist and is trying to push his politics but like I said about his interpretation of Loki's shape shifting on ish #3 Ewing accidentally pisses on his own beliefs. Having Thor full of righteous anger at mother Gaia threatening mass genocide is kind of calling out the climate ideology as just that. As a giant green genocidal monster that needs Thor to decapitate it before it kills us. Of course Gaia in the comic only activates the coming horror she does not perpetrate it technically. Luckily Gaia is not as insane as the climate change cult and was nice enough to "create" Thor to give humanity another chance. So thanks mother Gaia for that!

MINOTAUR AMERICAN PSYCHO I did not expect Minotaur to be this compelling of a villain but this was well done. Expecting a cheeky hokey political message from Ewing, instead we receive something more honest about never ending entertainment and consumerism and breaking down humanity to economic units. When Thor ask Minotaur why he wants to turn the world to shit and have a small population of a people divided by class status, Minotaur's response was classic. "I like it when the number goes up. That's all. Because that means I win.That means I'm better. And that's all there is." Its simple but the art and how the panels flowed to this really hit home. This was Patrick Bateman level thought process, cold, evil. Ewing must have read works of Brett Easton Ellis because Minotaur is a Brett Easton Ellis character if he was a comic book villain. If you don't know who the author I'm referring to is look up the 1991 novel American Psycho or just watch the Christian Bale film adaptation truly a classic. Finally, a memorable quote by Minotaur, "'Art'. I never liked that word. I prefer 'content'." Ewing has a way of mixing modern day cultural entropy and solidifying it in writing to make sense. Anyone reading about this time in our history in the future, I will point to that last quote when describing social media, and how art devolved to "product" and "content" to be consumed and how people were referred (and probably will still be in the future) to as "consumers" instead of people or human beings or even customers. The economic terms used to dehumanize clearly should make any thinking person feel like something is off and of course the other side of the spectrum dehumanizes by generalizing people and placing them into a amorphous blob called the "collective", " group", "tribe" or skin color.

This was funny and clever this ish, true to our times without beating you over the head about it!

Started off a little slow but picks up!

Great art, taking a bit to get to the point, but some of the dialogue is excellent! Really feels like the Joker at times!

Ooooff! This issue jumped the shark! I enjoyed issue #1 and #2, but this issue turned me off completely. The Joker getting a bullet in the head, shot multiple times in the chest area (as he shows to the doctor he holds hostage to help him), falls in cold ocean water, then he gets the bullet removed from his head with no anesthesia. What is this Saw IV? I forgot which movie it was but I'm pretty sure Jigsaw had brain surgery the same way. I thought it was stupid then, the concept is still stupid now. I don't care if it's the Joker getting his head open, okay sure, he tore his face off once but it's just kind of redundant, it's just purely for shock value or absurdity. (Oh but it's the Joker it should be absurd), too a point. The only difference, Saw is just stupid. But your playing with "The Joker". Feel like he is being thrown around like a rag doll and treated like shit without any good purpose or narrative that is remotely satisfying. That's if this Joker is even the real Joker. Done with this comic, and after that lame WildC.A.T.s comic, I'm not going to be looking for any Matt Rosenburg comics for a long time or maybe ever again. Lastly, the art on these comics are okay at best nothing great. You would think for the Joker you would really try to do something great, but I'm not feelin' it Mr. Crabs.

Geoff Johns does it again!

Really good story, can't wait for the next issue! Geoff Johns does an excellent job giving the cartoonist Muddy a real-life feel. Then bringing Junkyard Joe back in makes it a unique tale for sure! This second issue took more time building up Muddy, what happened to him between now in his old retired life from his experience in Vietnam from issue #1. Without too much exposition or too many details, the story gets the right rhythm on getting the reader to relate to Muddy. Losing his buddies from Vietnam who still haunt him in his dreams, his wife who died from cancer, and the tole of life in general makes for an interesting character. Issue #3 is definitely going to get really sci-fi especially how it ended on this cliffhanger, plus Geoff Johns revealing the "Unnamed War" timeline. I highly recommend jumping into this series while it is fresh, it's gonna be a hell of a ride!

Not really knowing much about this character I gave this a try and enjoyed it. Like other reviewers on here I feel the same that her design in this ish is bland. But the design on ish 2 looks phenomenal so hopefully it changes. Story was nothing amazing but kind of cookie-cutter anime vibes,for me it specifically took inspiration from Bleach. Her Darkchilde trying to take over is very much like Ichigo Kurosaki' Hollow that is always trying to take him over. Her sword and fighting demons make me think of this sorry can't help it!

Wow an actual DC comic I enjoyed reading?! Decided to give this a shot even though I've been practically avoiding DC for a long time. They have been real shit. Seeing Al Ewing writing caught my attention and I'm happy I read this! This feels like it came straight out of the silver age, the dialogue has a nice rhythm and feels very natural along with the classy art. Can't wait for the next ish! Keep this up please!

This issue of Minor Threats felt like a faster read compared to the last two issues which were filled with plenty of writing. That is not a bad thing, this issue had more action. Which is weird to say because the last two had some great action too. We find out more about Scalpel and why she is the way she is. Some good stuff on her for sure! The funniest part of this issue was when they enter a time-warped part of the city and run all around in different dimensions being chased by different iterations of The Searcher. This was hilariously drawn and almost feels like a parody on "the multiverse" of comics we all know about. The characters are great, most of the attention was on Scalpel this time since she had to save Playtime from a bullet wound. Without saying more, Minor Threats continues to be a very imaginative, well-written, well-drawn, semi-spoof on comics. Yet at the same time is doing a good enough job where it is building up a universe of characters and world setting that is very likable and should be taken seriously! Can't wait to read issue #4!

Huh. I'm not going to lie, I actually really enjoyed this. At first I went in not expecting much but I actually like the characters in this. I didn't read the Steve Fox Spider-woman run yet I'm still finishing the previous Pachinko run first so I don't know the whole backstory for these characters but Steve does a good job giving you some insight on what you might have missed. This is a new kind of era where a comic cover sucks but the actual material inside is good. Like that cover is so bad but luckily some reviews even reviews that did not like this issue peaked my interest to check it out. I like the personalities for me they are not too much, or overbearing/annoying for how young the characters are suppose to be. I'm adding this to my pull list.

At first I was not sure where this comic was going, but boy does it pick up!!

Not only is the story interesting, the art is very nice!

Fantastic, the writer really captures Posion Ivy. I like how the series illustrates how Ivy can justify her evil acts. Whether it's for mother nature, or what. But it never turns out the way she plans.

All in all, a very good series!

A very fun comic read, I really enjoyed some of the action sequences. Got a lot of 90's vibes from this issue which is a good thing for me.

What a disappointment... I was really looking forward to this, but wow I couldn't believe how poor the writing was and how jumbled and stupid the whole plot comes off. The art is not enough either to keep my attention. There are some good panels but most of this feels rushed. I liked how it was showing how she was figuring out how to survive but it lost focus at some point I think when those creatures disturbed her in the cave she was sleeping in. Coming from a Super Rogue fan, like I have all of her comics, love them all even the not so popular ones. But this is awful. If I was writing this I would have really emphasized the savage land and bare basic survival. Really play on that more than this. What really pisses me off is they made sure to make a great looking cover including the variants which are superb pieces. But that's it, inside is an empty shell like your average materialistic American female who only cares about money and status. Do not buy, stay away, I was only fooled by dat Savage Rogue look baby lol.

BAD-ASS. I hesitated to check this out but once I picked it up I couldn't stop. Just the beginning where Wolverine tells the millennial off by crushing his smartphone was so gratifying. Then going back to 1909 to see Sabretooth break Wilson Fisk' great grandfather I think out of Ravencroft asylum was so nasty and brutal I couldn't believe how gritty the art was I love it! I am getting Vampire the Masquerade and Gangs of New York vibes but with Wolverine and Sabretooth lore as a twist! This is so brutal especially that finishing move at the final panel of this comic, this is an absolute must read! Can't wait for the next ish!

Really did Steve dirty in this, forget about how much he's been through. According to the writers Steve is privileged. Anyone who starts off a comic with vampires attacking a soup kitchen should immediately be unemployed, and to top that promoting segregating superheroes because "white people bad bruh". Go to hell.

Woah... Just excellent, from the writing to the character design and overall interior work this is truly a masterpiece. The cover of this ish does not do this story justice, the next ish needs better cover art. This is the second new series from DC that I've genuinely enjoyed Metamorpho being the other one. Otherwise most of what DC is pumping out is bad right now but this is one that is a must-read!

I don't have anything new to add that hasn't been said but for me the dialogue is golden. I already feel like I know these characters in just 2 issues Ram V is simply amazing here!

Kang is badass in this issue starting before Jed Mackay's Avengers run. Really got a good taste of King's insane time travelling abilities.

I wanted to like this as a fan of Loki but the art is really bad. Feels kiddish, and the whole spider-gwen being a character is kind of lame. Would have been fine with just the cast from the show. Sylvi doesn't even show at all even though she is on the cover, and Captain Britain comes off so generic and lack of any personality. Mobius and B-15 are great in the show and the writing fits their characters in this comic but it doesn't feel right, something is off? This had a lot of great potential and really could have taken advantage of some of the Orwellian themes of the TVA and expand more Loki lore but no it felt like a cash grab. I will read the next issues and stick with it until #5 but not impressed...

SYLVIE! Alright so this was a big improvement from issue #1. Nothing huge happens in terms of action, comic is mostly dialogue but feels like it is getting back to its Loki roots. Was a faster read than the previous ish but that might be because it was more to the point. Highlight of the comic is Sylvie shows up so I'm happy about that and clearly a good build up to a Loki reveal hopefully but it will most likely happen by ish #5. Nonetheless my only criticism is that the characters going to hell or specifically Hellstroms city where people can right wrongs,was like no big deal. Then when Sylvie shows up she applauds spider-gwen and Gambit for their gusto walking into hell. Like what? Why do I have issue with this little comment? Well this is Sylvie, who lived her entire life hiding from the TVA by living in moments in time where apocalypse would begin to avoid detection. So she never lived in a stable world until Loki controlled the multiverse. Most importantly she was one of the main forces through sheer vengeance to find and kill Kang being the one responsible for the collapse of the almost invincible tyrannical TVA and also the multi verse going awry in the first place. So a couple of characters walking in the safest version of hell is peanuts when compared to what Sylvie went through. That's bad writing and I have to call that out. Please next ish do not diminish Sylvie to raise up the lesser characters, she needs to stand out more, including the original cast like Mobius, B-15 and OB. They are integral and honestly spider-gwen and Gambit should be side characters to the Loki' cast journey. Still this comic I would only recommend to fans of the Loki show, it is a hard sell to a broader general audience of readers.

Really enjoyed the writing and the art is chef's kiss! A great start!

This was a lot of fun!

Great but the character reveal at the end left me feeling meh.

The worst Ish by far! This has been a stellar run so far and I have been loving most of the issues which I have yet to review. With a couple issues lacking in good art, most have been fantastic with just the right amount of action and story. The character development has been golden with Ororo and T'Challa being my favorites. This issue feels like a filler and the only good part about it is T'Challa trying to go out of Wakanda to extend his reach and defeat Moonknight's ideological grasp on the people. Otherwise a big step downward for a great Ultimate series and hope it picks up again on issue #12.

2 Minute Read... Okay so a solid 5/5 for the art I'm loving most of the panel work. But the writing continues to fall apart at least in terms of pacing. I finished this comic in at least 2 minutes or at most 3 minutes. Starting off with a great scene where Tchalla goes out of character to behead his defeated foe Moon knight it only turns out to be a dream. I get it, but honestly would have been cool to commit to this especially that this is an Ultimate universe created by the Maker that will eventually be fixed by The Ultimates eventually? From there he finally has his fight and easily defeats Moonknight with a swift upper kick to the face sending him flying. Seriously. That's it. Kind of anti-climactic after all that build up unless there will be a second phase of fighting in issue 13 but that would be silly. Then he sees these four giant dark figures trying to influence him to end Moon Knight only to be stopped by that chick I already forgot her name but she is Sorcerer Supreme in this ultimate universe or something. Sorry to make it sound so bare minimum but that's how it felt for me. After the many great issues of nice lengthy dialogue and world building it seems the writer is losing steam. Issue 11 was not terrible but not good either. Well this one was bad. I don't want to give a super low devastating score because I don't think it would be fair to totally give up. The artist is still doing a tops job and most of this run in this reviewer's opinion has been solid so it is okay to have a few bummers. But not giving a high score either because if the story continues to intellectually weaken like this it should not be rewarded.

One word... Excelsior!!!

I really loved this, though the AI spidey suit with Peter's son was not that good but it didn't ruin this. The best part for me was Kraven throwing Peter and Harry into the Savage Land. The action in this was perfect! Of course.dialogue is still top notch!

This was an forgettable generic story. Art is really nothing to brag about and this doesn't make me more interested in the Ultimate world.

I just started reading the new Ultimate stuff starting with Spidey and loved it so I wanted to try this. I must say this is excellent and has some really interesting concepts and characters. I actually find Iron Lad' anger toward his father to be a good hook and how they are trying to bring the 616 back. Marvel is not perfect but certainly between this and Ultimate Spider and Black Panther there is a lot more going on here than at DC unfortunately. Can't wait to read next issues when I have more time.

TOO MUCH INFORMATION (TMI BRO) I haven't reviewed previous issues but I would say I enjoyed issues #1-7 and didn't feel like I had anything to add to the conversation because most people liked them too. But this was just bad. Like I can tell the writer has a lot of big ideas and some of them sound really epic but so many crammed in one comic felt kind of lame and rushed and honestly incomprehensible. Like retaining it is not really possible because there is nothing to relate to in order to remember some of the large amounts of information thrown at you so fast. Captain Marvel is like that NPC that just has so much dialogue about lame quest you could care less about. Then when she demands an emotional response there is nothing there because it is so routine. This issue is information overload or simply TMI. Honestly America Chavez taking up this much space is stupid, you should have a separate comic or miniseries if you wanted to cover more of her and her unknown history with these new Guardians of the Galaxy. Because I am more attached to the Ultimates you started us off with. Like their back stories didn't feel this convoluted and as bloated as your dead fat Galactus is floating in space lol. I am still looking forward though to seeing how Iron Lad fairs, and of course I want to see more of this Doom even though I know people who say that its been done before. I hope attention is kept on the others as well and that balance returns, but if the format is going to be like this on the next issue that will be a bad sign.

Great issue here!

Not bad pretty good issue!

I liked it but pacing definitely slowed down here. And Nightcrawler being called a furry and liking it was peak stupid. Like he's religious, kind of hard to believe Nightcrawler would ever say something like that? I guess Gail Simone is into that furry crap? Not bad though, not as good as #1-2 or even #4.

I love the cover, also I really just enjoy the Rogue dialogue and seeing her in action. The art for me is great and really matches with Rogue. Not that crazy about the whole Sarah Gaunt villain, comes off way too cliche and shallow to me. So I really just like this Uncanny series for the dynamics between Gambit and Rogue though the comic has not made clear why she is able to be with a man without accidentally killing him? I'm sure this was on another run but for someone just jumping in familiar with Rogue this will break the moment without explanation.

Loved this issue, and the part about Harvey helping Rogue against Gaunt was really good. This is Rogue, very compassionate and loving. Well done!

Trash Issue. Previous issues were ranging from good to excellent, what happened with this issue?! Art was horrible and the writing was just corny and atrocious? Hopefully #7 fixes itself...

Nice! Okay so thank God that whatever happened with issue #6 being such trash didn't happen on this issue. The art is not as good as the first 5 issues but thankfully the style is consistent with those issues unlike #6. I like this style alot but would like it to be a bit more detailed even with those far away shots of the characters. Nonetheless everyone looks great and Rogue is really shining here design wise and character development. I will forget about how bad issue #6 was because obviously something or someone else got in the way there from what I can tell but at least its back to the premise. Plus Gail Simone I know will continue to write a solid enough story here. I did like her Wonder Woman run from 2006 I think. Mostly good stuff from that and I'm getting the same vibes from this. I hope she continues to have Rogue as the lead and figures out more character building situations for Rogue she deserves a good lead role! I am giving this a solid 10 just out of relief that it got back on track with the style I was really liking, please avoid mistakes like #6. Otherwise art is great just needs more detail but it fits!

Forget anything Uncanny or X-Men at least for me... I really was hoping this would be a long series that would last for me but no I think this issue turned me off for good. My biggest beef is the art changing so much, the artist in the beginning was superb I thought but now they keep changing too where it has no consistency at all. Modern comics really are garbage and to the ones that aren't as bad they are still a chore to read when you want to stick with them. For example, I started reading the 1998 Iron Man run written by Kurt Busiek and drawn by Chen. Now I won't claim it too be the best comic EVAH! However it is in a masterclass in itself. In two days I read 25 issues and an annual without getting tired of it. Getting ready eventually to read 64 more issues of it. Iron Man 1998 unlike this crap called Uncanny X-Men is consistent throughout those 25 issues I've read, even the worst issues were still entertaining. The romance and flings Tony has feel real and gives you a glimpse into him as a man. Whereas in Gail Simone's romance between Rogue and Gambit it feels like a cheap attempt at fanfiction or at best cliche fans service (is there a difference Idk?).I am not learning anything new about Rogue or Gambit through there love in this series, nothing significant that effects the story dramatically at all. This whole issue especially was so drab and stupid and you know what I'm sick of every woman character having a beef with some male lead for reasons that is not explained. I get it everyone hates Scott now but honestly I think its stupid. I like Scott Summers, I think he's a good character that deserves respect but no he is getting the Captain America treatment in current comics. Cap is also being treated like used toilet paper in comics that should "know his place" when "DA STRONG WAHMEN COMEZ IN DA PANEL DUH!!" I gave this garbage another chance even after that horrendous abomination called issue #6 but that's it!

I liked DC vs Vampires and All-Out War, I have all the issues so I figured this should be good since Matthew Rosenburg wrote it. Nope, garbage, no idea what is going on here. Lame art, writing is atrocious. The next issue sucks just as much.

Just wow! From the simple back to basics Wolverine story to the amazing artwork what more is there to say?! I'm loving this!

The story is good but what really stands out is this art! It looks fantastic, there's one panel where Wolverine is describing the sunset of Canada during certain times of the year. The panels is of him sitting on a high cliff sitting by the fire and a tent overlooking the amazing scenery drawn. I know it sounds simple but the art is golden.

Solid issue, I did like the whole hunt with Cyber in issue #1 and think he is a really badass character. Just wish we would have more of Cyber instead of him being possessed by this gold adamantium. And as one reviewer pointed out, how fast Cyber ended up in Japan (5000 miles away) to infect Lady Death strike with the golden adamntium was goofy. My personal complaint would be I think the whole Wendigo thing could have been solved on issue #2 and this issue could have had a new plot or get right into Cyber and Lady D. Nothing would beat the brilliant back and forth between Cyber and Wolverine from issue #1 that was great.

We are Venom... I mean we are Adamantum... The writing is lacking in this issue and it just feels like one Macguffin after the next just to forward the story. The artist is still doing good but must be getting tired of the story as well because some panels are just not doing it here, not like the details and beautiful work of issue #1 and #2. This whole Adamantum thing or whatever is a common theme in Venom and now even Ultimate Black Panther with it's "anti-vibranium" concept. And you can see advertised on issue #5 Wolverine and the others possessed by the Adamantum. It should have said on the advertisement. We are Adamamntum... Oh shit here we go again...

Improved from last ish, still good art but honestly the story is just not doing it for me here...

I liked it, its okay. For me the beginning was bad, the art looked incomplete and totally rushed just to get the action out of the way. The action looked better on the Uncanny X-Men than on this one. It was so bad the beginning I almost lost interest but than halfway through the art changed for the better and so did the dialogue. Nothing huge in the plot but I am digging the friction between Rogue and Scott about Charles being free or not. The whole comic took me 5 minutes to read though probably less. Like it just went too fast and it felt like nothing really happened. Out of this run and the Uncanny run I prefer the Uncanny art style and writing. Gail Simone is doing a good job capturing some of the characters diatribe (with the night crawler furry comment being the horrid exception and screw #6). Jed McKay did good through most of the X-Men issues but on this one it felt like the attention to detail and build up was thrown aside I guess for the crossover? Still looking forward to #11 just hope it feels a bit more in-depth than this.
