The art was definitely the saving grace of an otherwise quite dull book. I get that this is only the first issue and the writer is trying to get the readers up to speed, but it took too long to finally shift into gear for me. I also disliked the increased use of slang for miles' dialogue, but could probably get used to as it's only a minor point. After a disappointing series in 2016, this is not r more
Miles Morales: Spider-Man #1
Balancing his normal life, school, parents, etc...and super-heroing has never been easy, but when the Rhino and a cadre of mysterious criminals start plaguing Brooklyn, things take a dark turn. And Miles doesn't even know the half of it yet. Eisner Award-winner Saladin Ahmed (BLACK BOLT) and Young Gun Javier Garr n (ANT-MAN & THE WASP) bring you th...
I would love to rate this higher, but the art changes mid way through and it's a massive quality drop, it looks like something you'd see in a web comic from an inexperienced artist, very disappointing. The story was otherwise very solid, but also very short and didn't have much of a meaning to it, overall not bad for a one shot. This wasn't much of a what if kind of story though, just felt like a more
What If?: X-Men #1
From the publisher that gave you OLD MAN LOGAN and HOUSE OF M... The X-Men as you never imagined! Welcome to the EXE/scape, a digital wonderland of business and pleasure accessible to anyone with the social (or monetary) capital for the bio-mods needed to log in... Or you can bypass all of that by being born carrying an .EXE/gene! But circumventing...
Not a massive fan of the art, but the story has been good so far and I would say one of the better mini series to come from marvel in a long time
Cosmic Ghost Rider #4
The Rider is determined to save the universe by ridding it of the greatest threat that ever existed...and that's why he's kidnapped Thanos to raise him right! How's that gonna work out? He's about to learn.

What a waste of 25 issues. Peter David has clearly lost what it means to write a good comic because this series has been all over the place, with this by far being the worst. Awful art, dumb story and awful ending.
Don't buy this comic, you'll regret the minute you open up the book
Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider #25
• Ever since the conclusion of THE CLONE CONSPIRACY, everything in Ben Reilly's life has been leading to this.
• With young Abigail Mercury's life in his grasp, will Ben find the strength within himself to do the right thing and save her, and his soul?
• Or will he succumb to his worst instincts and...
Border Town #2
After barely surviving a supernatural showdown at Jack in the Box, the kids regroup over nachos to debate what to do when your town is overrun by monsters of myth. Frank's freaked and wants to go to the cops! Julietta can't because her family's undocumented. Aimi wants to know the secrets of the underworld! And Quinteh might just be hungry. Meanwhi...
This series does involve a lot more reading than some other comics, but it is a very interesting series that plays into the theme of conspiracy theories and what if they were real. It's definitely worth picking up if you enjoy that kind of thing and it has a corgi in it too
Beyonders #2
With his one-eyed, genetically enhanced Welsh Corgi in tow, Jake finally confronts the secretive underground resistance known as the Beyonders. And as the global conspiracy to end all conspiracies begins to unfold, Jake finds himself unraveling a mystery thousands of years in the making, with a long-hidden prize waiting to be found.

I can feel this book building towards its end and this issue felt like it was just stretching the story to 25 issues if I'm honest. I won't say this was a bad issue, just a bit of a dull one where the whole plot is basically a chase scene with the two scarlet spiders. This is hardly Peter David's best work, but it's still better than some of the stuff Marvel has been putting out lately.

Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider #24
• They say the road to Hell is paved with good intentions, and in BEN REILLY's case, that may be literal!
• For months, Ben's attempts to cure a young girl's rare illness have proved fruitless - that is, until a mysterious benefactor from the DIOGENES INITIATIVE reaches out to him with the promise of salvation...for a...
I'm very torn with this comic.
The art work is really really good and I will definitely be picking future work from the artist, but the story is average at best and just screams fill in. Now I know we all know that this is nothing more than a fill in and it seems even the writer feels that and has decided not to give this his full effort but just make it passable. This is a very Average story

Detective Comics #989
ighting off Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum and two versions of the pyro-maniac Firefly shouldn't be too difficult for Batman...but the real threat comes from the fact that they're pairs! For some reason, Two-Face doesn't want Batman to discover the truth behind the murder he's investigating...but what's his angle?
Awful art.
#10 of Marvel 2-in-1 serves as a good finish to the series (even though there's still 2 more issues left) and would serve as a good lead into Fantastic Four (if it hadn't already been released and shown that it ignored all character development from this series), but it was also probably the worst issue of the series. 2-in-1 has been a very solid book from Marvel, at least for the

Marvel Two-In-One #10
"NEXT OF KIN" CONCLUDES HERE!
Ben and Johnny's final stand to reclaim the name... FANTASTIC FOUR.
Rated T
A very missable tie in.
I think if you're a massive stranger things you'll pick this up regardless of quality, but for me this wasn't very impressive.
The writing of the issue was decent enough, but the narration style used doesn't really fit in with the theme of the stranger things tv show and so it feels out of place. This is also an issue where not a lot of new things really happen a

Stranger Things #1
The nostalgia igniting hit Netflix original series comes to comic shelves. Follow Will Byers into a dimension of decay and destruction where he must use his wits and resolve to dodge the pursuit of the Demogorgon and escape the Upside Down.

Why is Ice Man back for another series? Who knows? Does anyone care that it's back...probably not.
This comic was plain and simple not worth $3.99.
The artist does a really good job, but Sina Grace needs to learn how to write dialogue effectively, the actual plot was decent at least.
If you really enjoyed the first iceman series then this is just more of the same so you'll probably

Ice Man #1
He's back!
Iceman is back! Which is good, because someone is hunting the Morlocks for sport. Now it's up to Bobby Drake to prevent another potential Mutant Massacre. But who's behind this horrific hunt? You won't believe it if we tell you! Guest-starring Bishop!
Rated T+
The artwork was very good and probably the best part of the comic.
I'm not enjoying this current storyline all that much and miss the involvement of wally West into the flash series.
This story will all the different forces seems like it could be a long one, but it just seems kind of dumb.
Flash #53
It's a slippery slope for the Scarlet Speedster when he must team up with the frosty Commander Cold to stop a powered-up Trickster from trashing Central City. The Trickster's first target is the maximum-security prison Iron Heights, which could mean a criminal breakout the city would never survive.
I liked the conclusion the first storyline, but it wasn't my favourite issue of the series. This does set up some things for future stories at least. The artwork was very good but not as good as the previous artist.
Justice League #7
It's wall-to-Source-Wall Justice League action as artist Jim Cheung rejoins writer Scott Snyder! Hawkgirl takes wing against Legion of Doom leader Lex Luthor; John Stewart faces off with old foe Sinestro; the Flash must run down the Still Force-empowered Gorilla Grodd; and Wonder Woman tackles the tag team of Black Manta and Cheetah-underwater, no ...
I didn't enjoy the first 2 issues of this series as they were just average and then issues 3-5 were really solid so it's a bit of letdown that this final showdown felt a bit rushed. The artwork was really good as always
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+
Solid origin story that was probably unnecessary and feels more like a filler issue more than anything.
The art is good but not Pichelli's best work by far.
Avengers #7
FEATURING GHOST RIDER 1,000,000 BC!
If you thought you knew the beginnings of the Marvel Universe, you were wrong! Odin and his Prehistoric Avengers represent a period of Marvel history that's never been explored. That exploration begins this issue with the origin of the very first Ghost Rider, one who rides a flaming woolly mammoth and battles...
I liked the use of the terminals in this comic, it's interesting how they can change their appearance and makes them a fun villain.
The art style won't be everyone's taste but I enjoyed it.
The story seems like it could go somewhere interesting, but I'm ready to move from it and get into something new.
I didn't enjoy how nightwing was represented at times and he's not a "gym

Nightwing Annual #1
The smart city overhaul of Blüdhaven was just the beginning-a single battle in a larger cyberwar that Nightwing is only starting to understand. But now the story of the Dark Web organization begins to expand as Grayson travels to Gotham City and partners up with Vicki Vale. We live in an era of fake news, alternative facts, disinformation. The gat...
Too much camp and hamfisted dialogue.

The writing is so bizarrely innocent and ignorant of technology that I legitimately think it reaches the ridiculousness of a B-movie and is a fun read, despite it feeling like being funny was not its intention.

Good god, why do they insist on giving Nightwing such crappy shallow writers? Hes not a "gym rat" plase stop.
I know some people dig Otto, but everyone looks like an eastern European doll/tool designed to sit on an end table and deshell nuts, and I dont dig it.
I read rumors they are going to drop Dick off a friggen cliff or something, major brain storm there Mr King, but its

This was okay and the art was solid. Really this story doesn't feel 100% necessary but it does fit into the plot. I was disappointed that the silencer didn't feature more in this issue considering it's only a 2 part crossover. This current storyline has gone on too long and sacrifices certain parts of nightwings character to make work
Nightwing #48
Guest-starring the Silencer! Dick Grayson is forced to participate in the world's greatest motorcycle race, a three-day affair hosted on a remote island and populated by the greatest riders on the planet. Nightwing reluctantly complies, but only to save the life of an old friend. That brings him into competition with the Silencer, who's ...
