Ooof. This was bad. The parents are actual idiots, Clark is a jerk, Lana gets to be a victim. Wahoo. Won't be going back for the second. Miller was not a good choice. At least not old, cranky Miller.

One of the best looking comics I have ever laid hands on. Good set up for what's to come...

Series had promise, but the end shows that as usual, Marvel has no idea what to do with the Inhumans. Pretty sure we won't see them for a while - as another commenter wrote the X-Men are back so no need for the Inhumans now...

High end writing, story and art. Really good! Happy to Have Kate Bishop, Gwenpool and America Chavez in good hands!

Looked a bit busy when I did a quick flip through, but when I read it I was really drawn in. Fantastic sci fi with a full dose of FF throughout. Nails it. Love the new series.

Yes! It's like a 90s kids cartoon, Plant vs. Zombies and Little Shop of Horrors all squished into one!

Weak art, weak story. Disappointing.

Cates is killing it at Marvel! Home run.

This comic is a ripper! Really like the tone and the set up for what is to follow. A thrill ride for sure!

Woah! That was pretty gnarly. I like Moon Knight when things get uncomfortable, and they sure do here.

The expanding world of Black Hammer is fantastic to take in.

Straight up one of the best Marvel comics I have ever read. It is epic. It is funny. It is expanding what we know about the Marvel Universe. All this with great art, both character and splash pages are incredible to look at. Oh and do you like it when a character is introduced with their sweet logo on the page? Then prepare to be a very happy comic reader. Seriously this comic rules.

 Thanos (2016) #15 Jan 28, 2018

Solid book. Great art, used well to separate the narration threads. Felt like the Inhumans of old, proud, a bit different, bound by tradition and duty and most importantly, powerful.

Disappointing end to a fun crossover. Oh well.

Great Hulk action! Looks fantastic.

Very cool art, clever how they merged all the different Thors and stories together. Fun! The frog makes it all work though.

All over the place. Decent art with a very confusing narrative. Stopped trying to decipher it 3/4 of the way through and didn't feel like I was missing anything. Pass.

Solid 7. Looks great, but the dialogue felt rushed and didn't do the art justice.

Should be better. Then I realize it's the same guy that did Lucas Stand, which I also thought coulda been better. Over-hyped and derivative.

Robin's neverending scowl doesn't get old - seeing him get put in his place some is great! Super Sons is Super Fun. Yea it is.

Best issue of the series in a while. War Thor!!!

Superb.

Stunningly well written. One of the best issues yet of one of the year's best series. Don't miss it.

Cross Black Monday Murders with Kill or Be Killed with a dash of The Omen and you get this book. Not bad, but not great.

Solid start. Could've done with more comic, less Luke Cage 'interview'.

Phenomenal. Can't wait for the next issue. A psychedelic sci-fi ghost story. Yea, that's right and you'll love it too!

A step up from recent issues. Feels tighter, with fun moments and good character development bits.

What the hell did I just read?? One of the most confusing narratives and presentations I have ever tried to follow. Is it a good story? Who the hell knows. No thanks.

Bit cluttered, both art and story, but an enjoyable read.

Makes me forget about all the negative noise surrounding Marvel's output right now - fantastic stuff. Totally catches the spirit of Marvel without trying too hard.

Confusing story jumps, art that looks rushed for certain pages...not the best issue of the arc.

Getting better. Heavy on the action, which is a strength for this comic. Domino is the best part of the run yet.

Kirk does some great covers, but boy does his interior work need some cleaning up. Weak, rushed art. Decent writing.

Great dialogue, interesting mix of heroes with fun reveals, jump off the page action - I loved it. Wasn't expecting to pick it up and so glad I did. Rosenberg is totally in his element and clearly enjoying it (his afterword is good fun too)! Great use of the heroes involved - best part I've read of the Secret Empire story so far.

Looks great. Bit thin on the writing. It's a combo of Black Widow and Hawkeye - but not quite as good as either of them. But it looks great.

Superb. So many cool things happening here - big reveal that I can't wait to follow! Fave new series since Seven to Eternity.

Deserved a better final issue. Kind of muddled and doesn't feel like things were concluded at all.

Breathtaking art. Not a book I follow, but I'm into the Inhumans and get sucked into crossovers! I read in another review that IVX feels more like a war than Civil War II, and that's totally true. This is a gnarly book that adds some real colour and character to the main storyline of IVX - hope the regular readers of Uncanny X-Men didn't mind the intrusion!

I was a bit scared after issue 11 that this series was starting to slide, but I'm happy to report it was a blip. This Christmas (sorry - Saturnalia!) themed issue is a lot of fun, and my girlfriend's vacuum cleaner is in it. Seriously, Cap has her vacuum cleaner.

Superb. Mesmerising. Challenging. I have enjoyed every bit of this volume of Moon Knight, and this issue takes a step back into Marc's childhood and makes the reader wonder about everything that has happened up to this point. Brilliant writing by Lemire and Smallwood's art is some of the best yet of the series.

Super fun!! Nadia as Wasp is like taking a bubble bath even though you think this might be dumb, but then totally loving it and being so happy you did. Good set-up for future girl-genius team stuff (Moon Girl maybe??) which bodes well for the Marvel Universe. Loved this debut book.
