don't put out perfect scores. But I think this is my definitive Green Arrow run. Yes, I love Joshua Williamson's run on Green arrow. he's one of my favorite writers of all time. But Chris Condon surpassed my expectations, and I love his writing for Oliver Queen. It's a shame that this run was so short, but it ended on a high note. This is just a standalone story, but this is a run that I will be r more

Lo and behold, Condon writes the best issue of his run for the series finale. Still wasn't perfect, but it carried more emotional resonance than his previous issues all combined. This series launched with a great run by Williamson and healthy sales. I'm sorry that it didn't last longer, but I continued to support it even after Williamson left with the abrupt change in direction. Here's to Absolut more

THE ULTIMATE GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY! America Chavez takes center stage in this issue as a group of galactic travelers from a far-flung, Maker-free future arrive in search of her!

Rise of the Powers of X #5
THE BATTLE FOR ALL TIME!
The X-epic concludes in a battle between those who are outside time and that which is now and forever...and the result is being decided by whether someone can ultimately make the right choice. The end of the Krakoan Age barrels our way as the two series that are one conclude!
Rated T+
This little break from the main story was a little over the top for me, although it did have its moments

Wonder Woman #7
FOR THE BATMAN WHO HAS EVERYTHING! Amidst their adventures as Superman and Wonder Woman, Clark and Diana take a thrilling journey into space to get a birthday gift for their dear friend Bruce.
I'm not sure why the low reviews. I'm not sure what people are expecting. I thought it was exciting and entertaining to see Polaris come into her own.

Fall of the House of X #2
NOT WITHOUT A FIGHT!
The X-Men may be at their lowest spot, and they may be on the brink of complete eradication...but they are not going down without a fight! Polaris returns to guide the X-Men home, bringing a wicked surprise for Orchis! This epic tale split in two continues as the Krakoan Age nears its conclusion!

Now it falls to Storm - as the epic conclusion to the Krakoan age looms - to bring their oldest enemy home to fight against the FALL OF THE HOUSE OF X...but after all he di...
I think this is really great and I don't understand the lukewarm response to it. This issue is the start of something new yet not new, that Hickman fans should be hyped about. Bryan hitch delivers lots of cool 2-page spreads, to boot.

2025 In Review:
Lemire's run is untouchable.
Most of what Lemire does in untouchable. It's weird though that he isn't regarded as well as those like Hickman, Johns, Morrison, Snyder, etc. He is very consistent. Not everything will blow you away but it's ALWAYS good. Even on that list, all of those writers have duds. I haven't read a dud of Lemire's. Brubaker is the same.
