Leave it to Joshua Williamson on making Superman Prime cool. I love the art, action, dialogue and pacing of this issue. Keep this up Joshua Williamson. his writing for Superman really works for me. And of course Dan Mora's art is superb, arguably the best DC Artist of the 2020s.

Tom Taylor does it again. He puts out a solid issue so far, I like seeing Batman being all detective and grounded in this story.

well this was an unsatisfying ending to this series. I dont think this series was bad, and it was decent. But it's not as memorable as Frank Miller, Brian Michael Bendis, Mark WAid, Charles Soule, and Chip Zdarsky. It was still solid, and I'm happy that Daredevil is consistent. Overall the entire series is a 7 out of 10, but the ending falls flat and felt unfulfilled, even if Matt Murdock and Elektra are together. I dont mind Matt Murdock regaining his memory for Daredevil, but I wished the writing was stronger than usual, the entire storyline of sins kind of fell flat.

The art is the saving grace, and perhaps if I re-read the series I can enjoy it. more

Easily the worst issue by far. Damn it's sad how disappointing this book has become. I am intrigued to read this till the end, but oh boy is this poorly made series.

Again, is this a bad issue in a vacuum? No. Enjoyable one. But the idea is so stupid.

This. This??? We have 3 issues left after this and this is what Hickman decides to start focusing on??? A side villain???

Yeah it's nice to get backstory for a character introduced 14 months ago. BUT IT'S NOT THE MAIN PROTAGONIST OR THE ANTAGONIST. AND WE KNOW SO LITTLE OF EITHER OF THEM .

Like I don't get how this book is praised as a good Spider-Man comic. How is this a Spider-Man comic at this point??? It's like Hickman is deadly afraid of showing us anything related to Peter at this point.

Sure you don't need to focus on the main cast every issue. But it would be nice if you focused on them at all.

Remember the punch last issue? That was praised because MJ was so badass? Well that's ignored. As usual. Why even bother with cliffhangers at this point.

We see one panel of Spider-Man. And even that raises a lot of questions. It seems to be AI Venom. Is Richard controlling it? Has it gone rogue? Does Richard even know what it did to Fisk's men? Who knows! That would be interesting to follow, right? But stupid me, expecting Spider-Man stuff in Spider-Man comic.

JJJ and Ben do literally nothing. We are given an illusion that they have progressed ,but in truth, they seem to be in the same spot as in #10. So you know, 11 months ago.

If anyone wants to say this is a good Spider-Man comic, I would ask you: can you tell me anything about this Peter? Even how he and MJ met and established their relationship? Got married? The one thing that is constantly marketed?

No? Well screw me I guess, another issue focused on side villains backstory then. more

I am going to make the executive decision to stop reading this book, and basically read the final issue. Jonathan Hickman is a writer that a lot of people love, but I have reservations. It's like after Hickman left his X-Men books, he just doesn't have that spark or hook like Fantastic Four, or Avengers, Secret Warriorsor even his Ultimates. Ultimate Invasion, G.O.D.s, Imperial just don't have that magic in it.

Hickman likes to shake up status quo and change things to make sure the characters aren't stagnant. But he also likes decompressed long-running story-telling. He takes some high-level concepts, but he makes it vague sometimes. But he also has really strong character moments with GREAT dialogue that hits home.

I bring this up because in Ultimate Spider-Man, he Is so focused on developing the other characters, yet not Peter Parker. And I agree with Afre on how this Peter Parker is so woefully underdeveloped. If there was a person who has never seen the Spider-Verse animated films reading this, I guarantee they would not be attached to this Peter Parker. It's very clear that Hickman loved Peter B Parker in those movies, but at least that movie has strong characterization for Peter Parker in a short amount of time.

Even if I can get over how it's just fleshing out the characters and making them attached.... I don't care. The art is not as good, the writing and dialogue don't engage me, and too many things happen off-screen. Last issue Peter and Mary Jane had a date with Harry and Gwen, now Peter is.... fighting with Venom? In one panel? What? J Jonah Jameson and Uncle Ben literally have been investigating Kingpin, and it's briefly mentioned but also the writing isn't good? I don't care about Mister Negative because the writing for it is not as interesting. How is this an Ultimate Spider-Man series, yet Peter Parker barely gets focus.

Overall, maybe in 2030 I can appreciate this series. A lot of things are praised retrospectively. But I ask you this. Do you genuinely like this series because of the writing, characters, action, dialogue, pacing, and art? Or did people highly praise this because it was released alongside Zeb Wells Spider-Man.

Overall, Simon Spurrier's Flash is just confusing. This is the confusing, disjointed run I have read in a Flash run. Compare to Mark Waid, Geoff Johns, Joshua Williamson, and Jeremy Adams this lacks focus. Simon Spurrier is a writer that I'm hard to get behind because he likes to get all dense and crazy. I can tell that Simon Spurrier wanted to make a Flash version of Immortal Hulk where he goes all out bat-shiz crazy, but after the fan and critic response you can tell that Simon Spurrier had to be more family friendly and his heart wasn't in it.

I appreciate Simon Spurrier for taking risks and not having Wally West be stagnant. But the problem was that the writing, the dialogue, the art was not consistent, the story just felt dry and rambling. It feels that Simon Spurrier is writing the story he wants to write..... but it doesn't work with Wally west. The heavy mathematical and scientific concepts he’s weaving in just do not work. Don’t really make sense, don’t contribute to the story, and are just a hassle to read. Honestly, the only thing about this run that I like is *hot take The new suit.

So overall, not horrible. But forgettable. more

I was actually surprised by this. Everyone knows that I hated Zeb Wells Spider-Man run, and I had low hopes. But surprisingly the main story was good. I dont think people understand, but it is so surreal seeing Deadpool AND Joker standing next to each other. It just blows my mind on how monumental this is. And I have to give credit, but Zeb Wells writing here actually didn't offend me at all. It was good, and I liked the back up stories.

So overall, aside from the coloring I did like this issue. I will give out credit to Zeb Wells, he proved me wrong. He can put out good stories, so I got to acknowledge this. more

this was actually a satisfying ending to this series. I had low hopes considering Stephanie Phillips isn't one of my favorites, but got to give credit. It was good.

and this is the penultimate issue of the series. I can't wait to see how it ends. I love Mark Waid's writing for a young Dick Grayson and Bruce Wayne

I'm speechless.

I just love the origin story for Absolute Riddler, Penguin, Two-Face. I am so excited to see how Batman deals with Bane, and Nick Dragotta's art fits so well in this universe

bland, mediocre, and forgettable with the climax not having me feel anything. The art was also not as good for me as well, and I think after Dan Slott's original Spider-Verse event, Marvel just can't write a good Spider-Verse story anymore.

and thus DWJ's era of Transformers is over. Did it have a couple of bumpy rides? Yes. But every run has them. But was it great and consistent? Absolutely. Plan to re-read this again to appreciate it more. It was so fun and entertaining, and this was my first Transformers series. Congrats to the Image comics, you made me into a Transformer fan. I want to read more Transformers comics now.
