I feel your pain my friend. I jumped on board in fifth grade when I just happened to pick up an X book while staying the night with my grandparents. It was the mutant massacre and had to beg my parents to drive to an out of the way gas station every month because it was the only place with a spinner rack near me. It's how I started loving comics and I held on tight to X-Men till a little after X of swords.

A step up from the prior issue.
I like Steve Pugh as as an artist but I’m not sure he’s the right fit for this book
And some of the panels just look very flat.
I think it needed someone like Kevin maguire.

End of Life #6
By: Kyle Starks, Steve Pugh
Released: July 15, 2026
Eddie is losing allies fast, and with the tiniest drop of goodwill from Leona all but dried up, he’s got no one to turn to. Has Eddie had it with Pluto, or is a chance with Sophie enough to keep him around? While he hurts his brain thinking it over, Richard Smiley has a plan—and it involves two of the most unsavory types Eddie Stallion has ever com...

End of Life #5
By: Kyle Starks, Steve Pugh
Released: June 17, 2026
Richard Smiley has kidnapped Trent and taken him back to the abandoned Wrongdog theme park…but have the people of Pluto softened Eddie enough to care? It’s a confrontation between two incredibly annoying guys, with a fallout that will leave Eddie at his lowest. Which is really saying something!

Smiley is pretty annoying and I think the sincerity at the end didn’t quite land. Couple really funny moments though, especially Eddie praying his Dad doesn’t kill him while he’s shooting up Smiley’s goons.

While the Earth parts are interesting, well-paced, and engaging, everything happening on Asgard is mind-numbingly boring.

This is wild.
Maybe too confusing to be a 10 though. I will reread the whole story when it’s complete.

Uncanny X-men …here comes the final rant. Gail hyped this issue up on her Facebook page. Here is Gail in her own words. “ Just saying, if you have been away from UNCANNY X-MEN for a bit, today is the day to jump back on board. It's a new arc, and some important new characters are involved, and I can't say more but this is a good jumping back-on point and this story REALLY goes bananas.Gambi

This was a bit slower and less bombastic compared to the other issues. I dont really havve strong feelings for the new butler, and it's confusing on whether Bruce Wayne is hallucinating Alfred. But Jorge Jiminez manga style comic book art really carries the issue, and I like how it's just a simple entertaining one-off Batman issue that doesn't take itself too seriously

Absolute Superman is an absolute blast to read. This is a one-off issue, but I like how in this issue Jason Aaron makes Superman literally eat a lot of hits, but he keeps on standing up to make sure Metallo remembers who he is. Juan Ferreyra's art is also amazing as well

I slept on this book for some reason. Probably because I’m not a die hard Thor fan.
But that was a mistake. I picked up the last three issues.
Great comics.

What a banger of a first issue! Combines so many things that I love about comics: weirdness, an attitude of self criticism, beautiful art, ugly people, multimedia shenanigans, and a commentary on the past, present, and future.
