This is more like it. Hickman really dropped the ball with Ultimate Invasion. Whether that was an editorial mandate to keep it to 8 issues and not go anywhere with it being an ultimate universe set up is a mystery, but here Hickman has a new playground to go off in and it's very enjoyable.

Def agree with everyone on this. Should have been a 6 or 12 issues. With the effect this is supposed to have, everything feels super rushed. All the character stuff was cool, but introducing these versions of characters needs a lot more baking in order for the story to hit. For me, Howard Stark dying really was just like ok that's something that happened rather than feeling an emotional impact Def agree with everyone on this. Should have been a 6 or 12 issues.

Pretty entertaining, but feels like a filler issue. Nothing happens really that pushes the plot forward. It just sets up a character that MAY be important in the upcoming issues; however, it also sets up that character for doom. Art is great tho

Thought I'd read this as part of the X-Men come back for me and immediately I'm like alright I'm out again. It's crazy how bad marvel fumbled the bag with this era that Hickman set up. I understand that they wanted to stay in the krakoa era longer than intended, but everything Hickman set up feels like it's completely buried or wasn't followed up in a satisfying way since he left.

Pretty good start, lots of ppl r gonna be mad at the ending, but it's an ongoing. Give it a chance. And also, the most shocking thing: JRJR's art in this wasn't bad. Recent JRJR art has been so bad (I'm a fan of JRJR especially his old art in Spidey and Daredevil, so don't assume I'm a hater), if you don't believe me, look at his action comics. But here, it's actually good. Hopefully he can k Pretty good start, lots of ppl r gonna be mad at the ending, but it's an ongoing. Give it a chance.

I'm seeing a lot of reviews bash Taylor for not having an over arching story and just adding filler. It's like people have never read comics before the 2000s. If you read anything from the Silver Age, Bronze Age, or even the early Modern Age, almost every series had filler issues and one off issues. A lot of the time, these issues were among the best since they were easy to read and allowed the I'm seeing a lot of reviews bash Taylor for not having an over arching story and just adding filler.

the story's fun, but the art is such an issue here. Sara Pichelli is amazingly talented, her work on Miles Spider-Man is some of the best art in modern comics. She also gets the excuse of losing her main colorist Justin Ponsor, which is a tragedy. However, her art in this issue just looks insanely lazy.

Reed's one liner made this entire issue worth it, despite it already being good. Probably one of the better Iron Man series we've gotten since Fraction's run

One of the best series out right now

If Wells can keep this kind of story telling when Peter comes back, his run with JRJR should be great. This entire Beyond era has done a lot for me in wanting to read Spider-Man again after Spencer's elongated run. I think I read somewhere that Ben Reilly will have his own series in Hollywood, I'd be fascinated to read that.

It's like Civil War, but much better.

Status: currently depressed that Hickman X-Men is almost over.
This is by far the best treatment the X-Men have gotten in years. The Hickman era from HoX/PoX to X of Swords to this has been just amazing story telling on his part. It's such a shame it is coming to an end soon

Shaping up to be one of my favorite King miniseries. The dialogue reads like a noir movie, which is clearly the vibe from the visuals as well from Smallwood. It all really comes together perfectly as a nice set up to the characters of the story as well as setting up its mystery as well. King continues to nail his miniseries.

Wow. This might be Jimenez's best art in my opinion. Every page of this book looks like art that should be hung up in a museum. You can spend hours just pouring over the detail of the art on each page. The story is very good and cool as well, an origin for the Amazons. Honestly, they should just delay the book even more if the art needs time to look like this. One of the best comics of the y Wow. This might be Jimenez's best art in my opinion.

Really liked this issue. After the Cates run, I was worried that whoever was gonna take the reigns wouldn't be able to live up to the hype. Ewing and Ram V really start the series off on a high note. Love the focus on Dylan and how he is different than Eddie. I love the two stories of Eddie and Dylan about them being apart and how it affects each other. It's just a great starting point.

I feel like this series is underrated and not talked about enough. Gillen deserves a lot of credit and praise for what he's doing with this series. He's quietly writing one of the best ongoings at Marvel currently in my opinion. Ribic is as good as ever as well. Consistently great writing, story, art. It's really everything you want in an ongoing.

I think I'm at a point where DC limited series and black label stuff seems to work a lot more for me than their ongoings. The only ongoings I have right now are Superman Son of Kal El and Nightwing, both written by Taylor (hint hint to my likability towards the man's writing). For me, Tom Taylor feels like the best DC writer in ages. He understands nearly every character that he writes, so each I think I'm at a point where DC limited series and black label stuff seems to work a lot more for me than their ongoings.

It's a fine issue. I don't like change in artists in a series, but this was serviceable. What I do have a problem with is I feel like Duggan is trying his damnedest to get that Hickman vibe, and it was semi successful in the first couple issues of the series. But then inferno came out, and we were all reminded how powerful Hickman as not just a writer, but world builder, really is. Once you re It's a fine issue.

this is a fine issue, which means compared to the previous 74 (plus side issues and annuals) from Nick Spencer, it's pretty damn good. It's a great introduction into this era of Spider-Man, bringing back the fun quippy dialogue, the simplicity of villains, and re-introducing Ben Reilly.

There's definitely character development alongside the political landscape, even if the police acting by the seat of their pants feels a little ham-fisted. But seeing Jon with family and friends on a journey in trying to make the world a better place feels okay, especially with how Lois feels like the most important part instead of Clark. Not to mention the inclusion of Bendix's insane absurd plan There's definitely character development alongside the political landscape, even if the police acting by the seat of their pants feels a little ham-fisted.
