The whirlwind adventure of the fall ends here, in an oversized and overwhelming DAREDEVIL epic as only Charles Soule and Phil Noto could deliver it.
Face forward, True Believers, this one'll have you talking for MONTHS!

Avengers #10
THE EARTH'S MOST HATED HEROES?!
After 700 issues of saving the world, you'd think the Avengers would be due some celebration.

And that's not to mention the shocking surpri...

Heroes In Crisis #3
Tragedies deepen as more secrets behind the "superhero hospital" called Sanctuary are revealed! What compelled Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman to create it in the first place? How was it built? And if the hospital truly is alive via A.I., who - or what - is the brain of "Sanctuary?" Another layer peeled back in the biggest mystery woven through t...

I want to like this but it was so confusing. There is just so much going on. As a jumping on point this will be a rough read. The art is ok, like a B, but could've been so much better, especially for one of Marvel's premier titles. It's like Marvel used their B artists to draw this X-men B roster book. It really brought down the experience for me.

New ongoing series kicking off with a 10-part weekly epic, the flagship X-Men series that started it all is back and better than ever!

This issue is a disappointing start to a much-hyped series. It's a bloated mess, with too many characters--including several newer X-Men who are at best uncompelling and at worst silly. The plot is unoriginal, and the sloppy art looks like it was rushed. To top it off, it's overpriced.

Daredevil #608
• In a surprising turn of events, Matt Murdock's fictional twin brother, MIKE MURDOCK, has shown up alive in Hell's Kitchen!
• Dodging DAREDEVIL'S attempt to capture him, Mike hunts down the only person who can help him find his brother - FOGGY NELSON!

This arc, a kind of reboot of the series, has fallen short of its potential. Dan Abnett's new lineup pays nice homage to the classic Wolfman/Perez run, which also featured Dick Grayson, Donna Troy, Gar Logan, and Raven. Here Miss Martian subs for Starfire, and Steel subs for Cyborg. Abnett has also given this team a clear and straightforward reason for existence as first-responders to emergent ev more

This is getting in WTF territory story wise. Duggan does not have or relay much clarity for motives of characters which leaves me with an empty feeling reading this 3rd chapter. The art saves this issue really. Let's hope it gets better in the next one.

With Requiem tearing through the Marvel Universe, Loki whispering around its fringes and a new threat looming to devour everything, the very fabric of reality warps around the heroes of Earth... and the only way through winds through infinity itself!
