Knight Side's Profile

There's something inherently fun in opening the book and having absolutely zero idea what's coming up. Grant Morrison, once again, delivers the goods on this front.

I greatly enjoy how Morrison and Sharp use their British Isles frame of reference in writing/drawing this title (and not just this issue). Faeries, wizards, knights in shining armor...it's fun, it's different, it's tripp y. Definitely not for everyone.

Fun book, written and drawn on a giant scale. I'm enjoying the ride. In fact, it's the only ongoing DC title I feel committed to reading on a regular basis.more

The book is largely slow and plodding.

(And Rucka has a problem with what the Trumpies are doing with family separation. So say we all.)

Lois did what she does. She sleeps with Superman and does journalism. So those bases were covered.

WAIT A MINUTE. Lois Lane has The Question on retainer? That was The Question working in Moscow for Lois, right?

I mean, it makes sense -- journalist working with journalist (Even if Lane doesn't know that Sage is a journalist). The fact didn't really make this particular issue of this book much better, but it sets the stage for better to come.

The art is not good, not good at all. But I'm seeing this style elsewhere in DC books (Justice League), so someone must like it.

Not really much of a book, but it's issue 1 and we can't all be DCeased.more

Fantastic and engaging.

Only time will tell if this event is based on a shallow gimmick, or is it something surprisingly deep and complex. Look at Injustice - a simple concept quickly evolved into a long multiversal conflict. DCeased has all the potential to become a new elseworldwith its own mythos, but it also can end up being a self contained one-off story.

The story didn't progress much in this issue, whic h actually was a good creative choice. We have a chance to delve into few main characters' lives, and see how are they dealing with this global disaster. That's a very important narrative element, which good writers utilize properly (look at Geoff Johns' Doomsday Clock) and bad ones either ignore completely (Scott Snyder's No Justice, for example) or don't create anything but it (Tom King's Heroes in Crisis trainwreck).

Similarly to the last issue, which I find a bit weaker than this one but still pretty decent, it's a comic I generally feel okay with, but I'm not mesmerized with it by any means. I could be, if it becomes something more than what it is now. So, worth picking up? Why not? Give it a try if you have nothing better to read.more

Rucka continues to prove how talented he is.

Good start for the series. Super excited because Rucka has always has a knack for writing good grounded characters

Solid issue by Tom king. As long as this remains a limited series I'll be happy, it reminds me of the friendly neighborhood spider Man series marvel is doing where Spidey takes on much smaller ground level problems and inspires others rather than epic tales

A good first and well-illustrated issue that captures perfectly how much Superman is willing to go through to save people even if it's just one small case.

Absolutely awesome. It's a must pick for anyone who loves doom patrol.

Man I never expected such good story from Tom Taylor. The series has been an absolute blast for me.

I'm a sucker for cosmic stories and exposition dumps, so this issue was definitely for me.

Honestly, this issue is filler. But it's filler in the best way where the B-stories are still interesting even if the A-story moves very little

Strong, great start. Looking forward to issue #2.

60 pages of annoying narration, awkward dialogue, gigantic heads, derivative tropes and plot points, and next to nothing happening. What waste of a Year One and DC Black Label title. And Toolsters? Really?

For a Black Label comic, I expected something unique. Maybe some new details on young Clark Kent. Him in school was interesting but it largely was too cheesy, the dialogue of him as a toddler/baby in the space capsule was strange and the worst of all ... Clark Kent joins the Navy?! I was hoping for some impactful stories, not a retcon of quite a few parts.
