Avanvolk reviewed Captain America #5 Apr 27, 2025
This earned extra points for the great last two pages, but otherwise it was pretty bad...the writing was really lackluster and Romita Jr.'s art is just sloppy looking.

Avanvolk reviewed Superman: Secret Origin #6 Apr 27, 2025
This was a fine read. A little hoaky at times, but I think that was kinda the point. As a Superman origin/coming-of-age/early days tale, I liked American Alien by Max Landis far more, but this was decent.
The reimagining of Superman's early days concludes as he faces his toughest foe yet his childhood friend Lex Luthor! The victor will be Metropolis's hero. If you think you know how this plays out, then you underestimate how much Luthor wants that title

Avanvolk reviewed Captain America #4 Apr 26, 2025
These time jumps are a bold move...it moves the plot forward, but it doesn't really give you time to settle in. The flashbacks to Steve's past are honestly the best part. JRJ's art is a little rough...I normally enjoy his work but he's not at his best here.
