An incredible disappointment. I'll read every issue, but, at this point, who gives a crap about #6. We'd be fools to get our hopes up about it.

I give it a 10 on artwork. The story leaves me cold, so I give it a 7.
Heroes In Crisis #1
There's a new kind of crisis threatening the heroes of the DC Universe, ripped from real-world headlines by C.I.A.-operative-turned-comics-writer Tom King: How does a superhero handle PTSD? Welcome to Sanctuary, an ultra-secret hospital for superheroes who've been traumatized by crime-fighting and cosmic combat. But something goes inexplicably wron...
Bendis' best issue overall since he took over the character. His take on Perry White and Clark Kent remain standouts, the new characters are interesting, the Cat Grant cameo was welcomed, and the main plot of the secret underworld of Metropolis moves along well. The characterization of Guardian was a little odd and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to take it at face value or not. The artwork is incr more
Action Comics #1002
A bold new era of the adventures of the Man of Steel continues as bodies fall from the sky and buildings burn around the City of Tomorrow. Even Superman must wonder how well he knows the city he protects as an unknown criminal element begins to rise throughout Metropolis.
I never would have picked Bendis to write Superman, and now I am surprised at how much I have enjoyed his first few issues. His takes on the Daily Planet and the city of Metropolis have been refreshing. I am not sure if I like where the overall story is headed, but I do know that I eagerly anticipate the next issue.
The art is a big part of the fun... it is superb.

I'll start with the worst, the art is really weak in large portions of the book and sometimes it can be very distracting. Contrary to many, this was my favorite Hunt for Wolverine series and I really wanted to collect this on trade, but it's hard to justify paying the cover price with such low quality art.
This issue, and maybe the whole story arc, was clearly just a way to streamline

Hunt For Wolverine: Mystery In Madripoor #4
ONE OF THE X-MEN IS CHANGED FOREVER!
Past and present clash in final battle on an island of secrets and sin! What darkness lies within Sapphire Styx?
Can a ghost from the past save Psylocke from oblivion?
Parental Advisory
The art in much of the book was so unattractive it distracted me from the story. I found many of the main characters hard to recognize.

Parental Advisory
The final battle was so big it was difficult for the artwork to convey the scope of it all, and many panels required narration to explain just what you were looking at
Avengers #6
THE FINAL HOST concludes!
The final battle against the Dark Celestials. A battle unlike any the Avengers have ever experienced. A battle a million years in the making. The new team of heavy hitters assembles at last. But will the young, inexperienced Ghost Rider prove to be the most important and powerful member of all?
Rated T+
The inevitable Hulk Fight was poorly staged, predictable and dull. The characterization of Banner was a one page recap of him being abused as a child. The charterization of Awesome Hulk throws us the new direction of Cho having anger issues of his own, seemingly out of nowhere, attempting to make Cho more of a copy of the original Hulk. The story was almost pointless. As a fan of the original Hulk more
Generations: Banner Hulk & The Totally Awesome Hulk #1
BRUCE BANNER. AMADEUS CHO. Both have carried the curse of the Hulk. Now they come face-to-face at last - but will they meet as friends or foes?
Fan-favorite Hulk scribe GREG PAK is joined by red-hot artist MATTEO BUFFAGNI (X-MEN BLUE) for a time-bending tale that will finally answer the question on everyone's minds: WHO IS THE STRONGEST ONE ...
The art fits the character perfectly. I found the first pages of Ben Reilly talking to himself quite annoying, and I grew to hate every moment that Reilly "talked" to the Jackyl and the Scarlet Spider.
Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider #1
One of the most controversial characters in comics has returned - and the controversy has only BEGUN! In the aftermath of THE CLONE CONSPIRACY, Ben has a new take on life...and he's not the same Scarlet Spider he was before. Come witness what will be the most talked about comic of the year!
Rated T+
Emotional moments and great/long detective speak. Definitely left wanting more!

Probably the best Batman-Flash team up I've read. The story does a fine job of explaining the things that Batman and Flash have in common, making them natural allies. As a fan of DC's long and complex continuity, I was fascinated by what we saw during the trip on the Cosmic Treadmill. I can't wait to see where this story goes in the next two installments.

It's called Unleashed, and look at the cover. And then read Marvel's tease. There's no new Hulk in this issue, or in the entire series! Marvel's marketing 100% lied. This is an irreparable breach of trust between Marvel and us readers. Hugely disappointing!

While it looks like the She-Hulk might finally appear next issue, the storyline is so decompressed its non existent. The page is littered with clumsy thought boxes. Even competent art can't save this series.

Who thought it would be a good idea to launch a She Hulk comic with no She Hulk in the book until issue 6? Did Marvel want this book to fail? What a waste of time!

Bachalo is the perfect artist for Dr Strange. The story was great, offering insight into the relationship between Wong and Strange.
Doctor Strange #19
• Mister Misery has kidnapped Wong and is using everything Strange's friend and companion knows about the Sorcerer Supreme.
• A compromised Strange must find a way to defeat the sadistic entity without killing Wong!
Rated T+
I know. I really am going to miss their art. It was perfect for the story.
The artwork was fantastic. The story was predictable to a fault, and the entire storyline as empty as a 1960's JLA. The arc should have lasted two issues, tops. Keep the artist, and get a new writer. I give it a 7.5 just because the art was great.
Justice League #19
"TIMELESS" finale! In the unbelievable conclusion, the Justice League reunites to discover they've been deceived. How can Earth's greatest heroes save the world when everything they know is wrong?
RATED T
A waste of time. The content of this book could have been condensed down to five pages or less of the Trinity talking over the new unknown status quo of the DCU. For a monthly book to waste an issue like this is hard for me to understand.

A "Superman: Reborn Aftermath" tie-in! In this essential chapter of the "Superman Reborn Aftermath" epic, Kal-El reveals to Batman and Wonder Woman what had happened to him-and how they all may be in danger!

A little plot and dialogue heavy, and not the kind of story arc that you want to use to begin a new series. Batwoman begins her series dropped into a setting we've never seen before, full of characters we don't care about.

I would give it a TEN based on the gorgeous artwork alone. Beautiful superhero comic book. And the story was fun, too.

This book was good. There's a lot in here to digest and a lot of the plot holes have been explained well. This issue shows how Spencer had this all planned out.
Art can be better but I ignored the was art because I was so into the story and I didn't want to miss anything. The material is dense and this book is high on dialogue but good dialogue.
