It's funny because even before he got to write ASM one of the things I always saw next to Zeb Wells name was "edgelord" and a bad writer. People claiming he writes as an edgelord etc and I thought that this was a very weird thing to say.
Sporadically I would read a story or an issue by him and would try to understand why readers called him an edgelord and a bad writer. Unfortunately it's this

Amazing Spider-Man #26
Now fully in the present, the Emissary has returned and his power is so far beyond Spider-Man's abilities. The heroes may figure out a way to win, but the cost of victory will be so immense that you may hope they don't...
Rated T
This issue somehow manages to be even worse than the first one. I'm not even gonna touch the fact that after 50 years of being canonically written as vegan, she suddenly is exclusively carnivore.
Wilson is trying to push Poison Ivy back into being a villain but she does it in such an awkward and lazy way that's just laughable. In this issue Ivy acts like a more unhinged version of Carnage. If

Poison Ivy #2
Destroying humanity is a lot of work, and a girl's gotta eat! On her journey to doom humankind, Ivy makes a pit stop at a roadside restaurant, where she meets a hungry poet who makes her question her motives-at least until the cops show up. Ivy has left Gotham, but she can't seem to escape the law!
Despite the cover, this is not a PRIDE book. There are traces of Ivy's relationship with Harley but it's a rather underdeveloped subplot. Unfortunately this story throws all the character progress of Poison Ivy under the bus for a story beat that doesn't even make sense (exterminating mankind would lead to nuclear collapse and global destruction in a few hours). There's a twist coming (hint: googl more
Poison Ivy #1
Pamela Isley has been a lot of things in her life. A living god, a super-villain, an activist, a scientist, and dead. In a new body that she didn't ask for and with a renewed sense of purpose, Ivy leaves Gotham and sets out to complete her greatest work-a gift to the world that will heal the damage dealt to it...by ending humanity.

You are an idiot. The book features a lgbtq character. And it's a new series out during pride month. Sometimes people just want to read a well written story, not every lgbtq characters story has to be about their sexuality. That's boring as fuck. Grow up a 1/10 just because the book didn't focus on her being gay the entire issue? This is why a lot of comic fans can't stand people who make everything about their sexuality. Just enjoy the story. They didn't make her straight lol.
This is why you guys don't deserve any of this marketing like the "pride" stamp. You don't care about the characters at all, all you want is freaky stuff. There's pornhub for that.
In short: Stephanie Phillips reunited Harley and Ivy just to break them up in just a few panels. The only reason the issue exists is for the worlds fastest first date and breakup. It's pure queerbait, avoid it. I was very supportive of this run but unfortunately neither the book nor the writer deserves my money anymore. Tee Franklins book is a better choice for anyone who wants to read a fun Harle more
Harley Quinn #10
You know those real cheesy rom-coms where two unlikely lovebirds lean in for the same book and knock heads in the poetry section of the school library and fall madly in love? Well, this story is nothing like that. For starters, Kevin met his new muse in the middle of Scarecrow attacking Gotham (how's that for a meet-cute?). And second, despite his ...
My review is only about the Ashes Of Eden story by Sam Johns and Laura Braga. A horrible story that erases all character progress of Poison Ivy and pretty much turns her into a Nazi planning to murder the entire Gotham City as a response to her garden getting burned. Laura Bragas art is buried underneath 90s edginess and what pretty much is a copy paste of Carnage USA only with Ivy in the place of more
Batman: The Joker War Zone #1
Gotham City is a battleground as The Joker takes over the Wayne fortune and wages a street war against the Dark Knight and his allies! Enter the "war zone" with short stories featuring characters like Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, and Luke Fox and see how they're fighting back in a city under siege! Also, the brutal full debut of the mysterious ...
I bought this as well as the previous issue after a small discussion with Tynion. The art is really beautiful and so are the colors. But good art is not enough to make a comic good. The plot here is nonexistent. The plot in the whole arc is nonexistent. There is no risk, no sense of danger, of urgency. The Alfred dialogue was unnecessary and it lacked emotional depth. But the worst part of it. Oh more
Batman #98
"The Joker War" part four of six! Batman is at his most vulnerable following a massive dose of an experimental new Joker toxin. With the Dark Knight haunted by demons and visions, it's up to Harley Quinn to protect him while he recovers-because Punchline is on her way!
This is what happens when a bad editor (Brian Cunningham aka the dude who kicked Gail Simone off Batgirl in hi first day at the office) teams up with a yes man writer. A badly written, horribly edited mess of a book with no redeeming qualities. We could talk about the elephant in the room that is the erasure of Harley and Ivy as a couple but the writer will blame it to the editor and the editor to more
Harley Quinn #74
Harley Quinn's sojourn in L.A. has been full of tragedy and heartbreak, from the death of her friend to uncovering a deep web of moral compromise that'd make even the most sadistic Batman villain's stomach churn. In the epic finale to our story, Harley will come face to face with the person pulling the strings and learn who's out to see her fail!
Eh, never liked Palomotti's and Conner's version of HQ in the first place/ And tbh i don't see much of a distinction with Humphire's version either.
Same here, Liem. I really hate how Harley was turned into a one dimensional Mary Sue after Dini stepped down, and I certainly don't see much of a difference between Palmiotti/Conner take on the character and this one (or Tieri's for that matter). Same trash. Albeit I gotta say calling Humphries a "yes man" is pretty much spot on.
No. The way suicide is used to push the story is ridiculous and badly written. The queer erasure of Harley Quinn and the forced thing with Booster Gold adds to the low score. 0/10
Harley Quinn #73
Los Angeles turns on everyone eventually, and now it's turned on Harley Quinn! As she discovers more about the death of her friend, she decides it's time to leave town-but the wrestling league she almost considered a family won't let her go! She's hit on a big conspiracy-and it just might kill her!
Emanuela Lupacchino deserves better writers. It is astonishing how DC put out such an overtly racist and badly written book. Stiff, robotic dialogue, google translated sentences. Harley despite her growth, still being defined by Joker. A boring story that makes no sense and is horribly misogynistic. Azzarello desecrating the characterisation of the protagonists.
This feels like a diffe

Birds of Prey #1
Black Canary's life has spiraled out of control: her personal life is going through the ringer and her band is in crisis when an old flame resurfaces only to flicker out and set her on an all-new mission against an all-new opponent. The only thing she has to be grateful for is the fact that she's not alone, as Huntress finds herself on a collision ...
Harley Quinn #72
Some mysteries just don't want to be solved! As Harley digs deeper into the death of her friend, it becomes clear that there are forces in Los Angeles that don't want her this close to the truth. Will Harley be broken by the City of Angels, or will she be able to avenge her friend's death? And will she be able to convince Booster Gold that he is n...
Absolute trash with a horrible almost pro-Bolsonaro edge. A horrible take on Poison Ivy and racist undertones in a tone deaf mess. Avoid this crap.
Batman: Gotham Nights #3
Batman is hot on the trail of a series of murders in Brazil, where government officials and various captains of industry have been mysteriously murdered by their own bodyguards. None of the assailants knew each other, but the Bodyguard Murders story went viral. As the Dark Knight starts assembling the pieces of the puzzle, he notices the things all...
As a Brazilian myself, I fail to see how this comic is pro-bolsonaro and racist whatsoever.
The book follows the recent trend of DC of "no ending". I guess some cokehead at DC believes this is good marketing. It's not. I've been a supporter of this book since day one. But #6 fails spectacularly in every level. Poison Ivy is shelved once more, or perhaps fridged, her relationship with Harley Quinn gone and the previous five issues readers bought as well as Ivy's death and rebirth in HiC n more
Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy #6
It's the end of the road for our Gotham City sirens...and the revelation of Poison Ivy's shocking secret will rock you to your core! Will Harley Quinn be able to make the ultimate sacrifice to become the hero she so desperately wants to be? Or will old habits die hard and end Harley and Ivy's friendship forever?
There is great chemistry between the collaborators of the book and that is visible. Adriana Melos art is astounding and gorgeous adding small cartoony details, like i.e a heart when Ivy and Harley hold hands, that enhance the emotional impact of the book. It's been a long road for both heroines and hopefully they acn find some peace of mind after beating Floronic Man and the new, weird threat that more
Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy #5
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy have had it up to here with the Floronic Man's attacks, and now they're ready to bring the fight to him. The only problem is...they don't know where to find him! So they seek out the help of Batwoman-who's hesitant to believe in the good intentions of former villains. Will Harley and Ivy convince Batwoman that they can b...
I had some complains about #1 and #2. It felt that the book was a Harley Quinn book because of the focus on her but #3 starts showing us us the Ivy side of things. We see how Pammy is slowly getting better, learning to control her powers and her new connection to the Green. There are a lot of questions to be answered. Remember that Ivy literally knows every secret in the world (Everyone Loves Ivy) more
Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy #3
Down the rabbit hole and through the looking glass, and what did Harley and Ivy find there? A tea party with some very unexpected and uninvited guests! It turns out the Mad Hatter has a game of his own to play, and Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn must decide between fight and flight. And is that gift Lex Luthor dropped off for Ivy actually of any use, ...
After the events of Heroes in Crisis it's nice to see Poison Ivy strong, proud, kick ass, sexy and alive again. This issue essentially is two stories, we see Floronics man attack on Ivy and Harley and we get the beginning of a second story with a certain "hat aficionado". The writing is very good and we see glimpses of what the future will bring to the book for both characters. I have some questio more
Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy #2
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are on the run with the Floronic Man hot on their trail, desperate for Poison Ivy to understand her connection to the Green and join his new Parliament of Flowers. Knowing Gotham City isn't the safest place for them under the new Bane order, Harley takes a hard left down a rabbit hole to seek sanctuary with a former pati...
This is probably the best Harley Quinn story ever and this is definitely THE BEST Poison Ivy ever written. Excellent writing, perfect characterization, beautiful, gorgeous art. Definitely check it! This is going to an Eisner winner guys!
Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass OGN
With just five dollars and a knapsack to her name, 15-year-old Harleen Quinzel is sent to live in Gotham City. She's not worried, though-she's battled a lot of hard situations as a kid, and knows her determination and outspokenness will carry her through life in the most dangerous city in the world. And when Gotham's finest drag queen, Mama, takes ...
Despite the impact heroes in crisis and year of the villain has in this book, it's a great, well thought story that starts slowly but climaxes into a dangerous and unexpected visitor. An opener that serves as a recap and an initiation to the plot lines that it will follow. Adrianas art, Hi Fi colours, and Morales inks are spectacular, beautiful, creepy, funny and sexy. A great start. We missed Pam more
Harley Quinn & Poison Ivy #1
Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy are taking their show on the road in this new miniseries! They'll have to evade villains and heroes alike while they explore their relationship and unpack their time and experiences at Sanctuary. Set after the events of HEROES IN CRISIS and smack in the middle of "Year of the Villain," it's a journey across the DC Univer...
"Wait for the final issue" "You just don't get the story" "You are too stupid to understand it"
"Everyone loves HiC and those who don't are clickbaiters"
Well. Here we are. HiC is a collection of tropes coupled with some really nice (yet problematic) art. You can see that the artists, especially Mann - despite finding his portrayal of women problematic - loved working with this and put t

@Hi! I'm TP your PS at the end of the review still stands. It does not sound like you are saying "maybe" therapy will work for you. In essence you confuse me, since you contradict yourself. You're also putting words in my mouth when you say I said Therapy is useless, again this is not a black and white issue. To be honest I think Therapy works for the majority, putting me on the side of Therapy. Just because it didnt work for me doesnt mean it wont help you.
I would never tell someone not to go to Therapy. However I sure as hell won't tell em all thier problems would be solved either. Infact it was that sort of attitude that made Wally feel so isolated, cause it wasnt helping him... at the end of the day, the only person that can fix you... is you.
To the people who said "wait for the final issue, you can't judge an incomplete title". We did and to no one's surprise it did nothing to change how it's perceived. This title is garbage, plain and simple. The worst "crisis" since Identity and wholly underserving of that moniker.
The real crisis was King's writing. There is nothing this issue did to resolve the various egregious faul

Seen people say that Heroes in Crisis is hated because they don't get the subtext -- you know, Wally dealing with loss and so on -- but if it really was about that, then we should have had a book that dealt with that. If that was really the case, why is that particular thing a small percentage of the story? Why is it a bad murder mystery that is not even resolved, but for a taped confession? more
