Sonic is back! After the heart-breaking, if inevitable, cancelation of Archie's run on Sonic, this is a wonderful return. Having Ian Flynn and Tracy Yardly continuing on the book is awesome. The issue itself is a very fun and exciting action scene, and while there isn't that much in the way of overarching plot, it is a very excellent set-up. It is especially awesome that readers only have to wait Sonic is back! After the heart-breaking, if inevitable, cancelation of Archie's run on Sonic, this is a wonderful return.

This comic is rescued with Kelly Thompson doing co-writing duties and the inclusion of Kate Bishop, which tells you what a bad shape this comic is in, and even then the quality barely goes up... did I mention America #3 sold only 12K units? give it a couple more months and it will be selling as many copies as My Little Pony, 'cept My Little Pony, more often than not, can actually be read without d This comic is rescued with Kelly Thompson doing co-writing duties and the inclusion of Kate Bishop, which tells you what a bad shape this comic is in, and even then the quality barely goes up... did I mention America #3 sold only 12K units? give it a couple more months and it will be selling as many copies as My Little Pony, 'cept My Little Pony, more often than not, can actually be read without d more

Over a year ago, I read an issue of Teen Titans by Scott Lobdell, and declared it the worst single issue I've ever read, for its sudden shove in of the awful villain Harvest, and its shocking stupidity regarding Conner Kent's morality and future. Now it is known that DC got rid of the then Superboy to make room for John Kent, the current Superboy, who is now one of my favorite new Superhero charac Over a year ago, I read an issue of Teen Titans by Scott Lobdell, and declared it the worst single issue I've ever read, for its sudden shove in of the awful villain Harvest, and its shocking stupidity regarding Conner Kent's morality and future.

Alright, I had hopes for this comic, I thought it would be like Secret Empire, except with teeth and balls. Instead its utterly incomprehensible. My initial reaction was a bored "eh, its ok", but that devolved into antipathy pretty quickly. This book seems designed to get as much controversy as possible, scenes depicting racism, transphobia, islamic extremism are shoved forward faster then the rea Alright, I had hopes for this comic, I thought it would be like Secret Empire, except with teeth and balls.

Well...this is better then it has any right to be. This really is a pleasant surprise, the set-up is decent, the world is well-established for new readers who haven't read the original Youngblood (Honestly...who has), and the art is solid (I hope this new guy, Jim Towe, sticks around). A very good beginning to a book that no one had any expectations for.

Its pretty good. I'll be honest, I'm not really sold on the new Aqualad. Kaldur in the Young Justice Cartoon was serious and badass and confident, and it feels like a complete 180 to make him this indecisive person who desperately wants to be accepted. I should be clear, this doesn't make him a bad character, at all, it makes sense for his situation and he is handled alright. It just feels odd to Its pretty good.

Alright, as the title says, this is a return to basics, and so far it seems to be a solid return. Guggenheim seems to have a good handle on everyone, I like Kitty as leader, and it seems to be setting up a simple, solid plot for the next Story. However, I hate how Marvel is still trying to pull the "Inhumans are perfect angels that did nothing wrong, and the Mutants are horrible aggressors" bull.

Pretty Solid Action Packed Climax. Really, this final issue is an opportunity to talk about the series as a whole. I thought it was a really good comic with solid action and excellent art. Its nice to see that Mark Waid hasn't lost his groove, I was worried with Champions and his bland Avengers Run, but this and Archie show the man is still able to do good work.

I rather enjoyed this. I didn't read the Death of Hawkman miniseries, because it honestly didn't look very good, but I'm a pretty big Adam Strange fan, and I thought this was an enjoyable little romp. I hope it leads into a new Adam Strange book detailing his adventures in the Multiverse on his way to being reunited with Alanna. The Top Cat backup was pretty cool, and I like the idea for his book.

I feel cheated on two fronts.



First, the reveal of the whisper that brought down Thor feels like a reenactment of the Heckler messing up Happy Gilmore's mojo at a golf tournament.



Thor has had self-doubts in the past; heck, even Jane commented him having doubts is what made him strive to be a better god and be worthy of Mjolnir in a previous issue of Unworthy I feel cheated on two fronts.

Pretty solid so far, Captain Atom is a character I am fond of, even if he is often stuck between being Charlton's Superman Knock-Off and the Legacy of Doctor Manhatten. This comic manages to give him his own style and voice with a story that is fitting to him. Good Book, I would definitely pick up a Captain Atom Ongoing if that is what DC ends up doing from here.

This comic continues to show me why Superman is the Greatest. Can't wait to see the rest of Superman Reborn!

This was the extra issue?? It was pointless, what a cash grab. 9 issues in total, if you paid retail you shelled out roughly $50 to read an event that was spectacularly mentally challenged. Luckily I have a friend who would buy dog poop if Marvel produced it and his comics are always on his coffee table along with his monthly subscription to Hustler.

A perfect piece of Christmas, wonderful, simple, exciting, and a ton of fun. Grant Morrison needs to do more here, there is just to much to explore, to much to do, and I want to see as much of it as possible!

A bit of a bump, but it still features gorgeous art and some great character work, really excited to see what comes of this.

And so, a mess of an event comes to an end. This series was a mess of schedule slip and issues, but at least they got it out within a good time frame. As it stands, this was an explosive, fun conclusion, and I'm excited to see whats next!

Awesome! A wonderful first meetup of the characters, some excellent character work, just a lot of fun. I can't wait for Super Sons!

Hell Yeah! Finally, a Comic starring the Real Thor, and it is damn good. My main annoyances with this comic stem more from previous grievances, such as Thor being unworthy because Nick Fury whispered something in his ear (Which, come on, when it gets revealed its going to be disappointing, I think everyone knows that) I also don't like how Thor became a drunk immediately after losing his powers, w Hell Yeah!

It barely ties to the wider event, but I don't care, Thundercraker and his friends are so much fun to watch.

Fact: There are pretty pictures in this book.
Fact: There are also words.
Fact: There is a lot of characters.
Fact: Most of those characters have nothing to do but stand there.
Fact: I can't tell if issue 6 is better than issue 5 because I don't really remember it...
