Rushed first issue, the writer seems to want to get rid of Chips status quo as quickly as possible and the story suffers heavily because of it.

Kuder is a good artist but his art doesn't fit for Daredevil. After the last tremendous run this needs to be special and it simply isn't.

"Somehow." That's the one word "explanation" on the splash page for how MM returned from the dead, and with total amnesia.
"Somehow" Matt, with no memory, no training, no ID, becomes a priest, working in a place that calls for close contact with children, no less. That's some screening process!

Not nearly as good as Jason Aaron's Conan, but still a fun set of issues.

Tom killed this issue. Normally this is a mid-tier book for me, but this issue was my Pick Of The Week, so great. Here is my video review for it. https://youtu.be/8l8czOKI3ow

In the afterward of Excellence #1, writer Brandon Thomas admits that this is a very personal story for him. Some of the events in this book are real to his life. Writing from personal experiences gives an author the ability to draw from a deep emotional well and ground fictional stories with real feelings. Sometimes however, that emotional well is too deep, too dark, and too difficult to climb out In the afterward of Excellence #1, writer Brandon Thomas admits that this is a very personal story for him.

The art wasn't great. Maybe in trade all at once this would be a good read, but as a single issue, we were introduced to random characters I can't remember now, and that's about it, I didn't really feel there were any hooks in this book to make me want to come back for an issue 2.

Strong showings from Warren Ellis, Scott Snyder, Paul Dini, and James Tynion. Worst of the bunch is either Kevin Smith's or Geoff Johns's stories.

What exactly happened in this issue? Don't buy it! It's literally a waste of an issue that doesn't tell you anything and highly doubt it will come up later especially how this is just a nightmare.

I'm not sure if read Dark Nights: Metal and not liking it just made me more suspicious and critical of Snyder's writing here, or this issue is genuinely worse than the previous two. I'll probably have to come back to it later to be sure. But I feel like the tightness of the original, more metaphorical conflict is being stretched out by a more and more complicated plot.

Darkseid gets #metoo'd

Al Ewing is awesome, but this didn't stick the landing. I really dug the first two-thirds, but I didn't love the ending. Art was decent though, and it was a decent effort overall.

This is my Pick Of The Week. The main character is ridiculous, but really fun. This book overall is really fun. Great debut issue from Mark Millar. 9/10.
