I'm a bit sorry to see this go. It wasn't groundbreaking but it was fun, and used its main cast well. It was definitely better than the lacklustre Spider-Woman arc that introduced the team.

It leaves a bouncy little void in my pick-up list.

I'm giving a somewhat generous mark because what this series got right was at least having an ambitious story. It never quite gelled which was a shame but the potential was there, and there were some real highlights along the way. Sadly, most of what failed was the attempts at humour that never seemed to fit or find their right moment.

It's fun and has some nice quirky touches. Something about the ending was insatiably corny though. Still interested to see how the arc develops.

Bit of a drop from last week, mostly because the art falters. It's inconsistent.

This issue is less about action and more about bonding and intent, and it provides more emotional content and a satisfying connection between Blue Bolt and Firestar, it just doesn't really move things forward in any way, and the stakes are no higher than they were at the end of the last issue.

This was my favourite issue so far.

It did the nice retro art thing I liked from the first issue. It gave a plausible explanation and interesting dynamic to the multiple Ultrons. It allowed Spider-Woman to shine, again, and quite honestly I could get used to that. It dialled way back on the goofiness. It had an intriguing meeting with the Illuminati. Plus it had *that* cover.

I enjoyed Dark X-Men by Steve Foxe. It wasn't perfect, it maybe needed a longer arc to flesh out the individual plot lines, but it meant business.

Sadly his Spider-Woman run was awful, so I was not inclined to pick this comic up (after all these characters were introduced in that book.)

This comic is messy. I get that the team are supposed to be bad at working together, but giving such a massive introduction to Firestar, which served no purpose, and didn't add to her flaking out, seemed a misjudgment when the Angelic Ultron was reduced to pretty much one page with risible and basic dialogue. On that point, the voices are indistinct, Spider-Woman and Blue Bolt both saying "you're This comic is messy.

I wish Duggan would stop trying to be funny. It just comes off awkward. Now Firestar is an alcoholic? I'm not sure why he's trying to make a new Thunderbolts team out of this. Is it a surprise to anyone that Ultron is still evil? This could be a good title if they drop the criminal side of things and just make it a team. I do miss Tigra not being a part of the team, but bring in She-Hulk and Hawk I wish Duggan would stop trying to be funny. It just comes off awkward. Now Firestar is an alcoholic?

This was a bit messy and clunky, but the premise shows promise, and that ending elevates it.

So much time was given to Tony's backstory that the issue began with an info dump rather than a compelling narrative, and we did not get much team interaction, which is a bit of a shame in a team book.

The first five pages should have been jettisoned. The comic would then have begun This was a bit messy and clunky, but the premise shows promise, and that ending elevates it.

Thank goodness it's over.

I guess it was nice to see Spider-Woman finally coming off the bench for a few scant moments in the final issue but it amounted to nothing.

There was never any sense of danger, despite the hyperbolically written teasers, and no real resolution to anything. Overall, it was pointless and toothless. If the Gang War section was slow and painfully obviou Thank goodness it's over.

I must be reading a different comic to a lot of others.

Yes, it has a nice cover, the art is vibrant, and the use of Angar is creative, so there's the three stars, but...

The early scenes with Liberty were mawkish, and set Jess up, again, as being a generally useless. She's solved nothing. Even the idea to reuse Angar, and the spy stuff, belonged to Liberty. Jessica is liter I must be reading a different comic to a lot of others.

Best SW cover ever.

Sadly, I'm not feeling this book at all.

I guess I should be glad it finally seems to be picking up the pace, but to all intents and purposes this issue, end reveal aside, repeats its predecessor. Jess encounters a villain with a grudge against Echidna, The Assembly swoop in, Jess remains suspicious. Even the jokey song themed title remains the same this Best SW cover ever.

Effectively this is a repeat of the last issue but with a less appealing guest star. The new artist is fine although some of the facial expressions seem peculiar.

Turns out Jessica is now the Patron Saint of all kids, and the way things are going I fully expect her to become a surrogate parent to the mini-me New Champions.

It seems that Marvel has decided Jessic

AmericanHealthCare says it all really.

Ever since the Hopeless run Handmaidened her into having a kid Jessica has been defined by no more than three things; being a mother, being Carol Danver's bestie, and, mostly, being useless.

This title really struggles. The story and questionable action stuff would be easier to forgive if the voice worked, but Jess herself and the dialogue in a broader sense are all off. This is not working.

This one issue was more fun, and worked better, than all the Gang War issues combined.

Finally, it felt that Jessica's voice worked, and worked well. I'll never be a fan of the decision to make the one woman saying "No!", a mother, and could care less if the next time we see Gerry he is found dead behind a dumpster, but I actually empathised with Jessica for the first time.

A step up the last few issues!

What is happening? I've usually liked Foxe's work in the past and this run started out at least functional. This feels so weird with Madame Web just coming out. Do writers just hate Spider-Wom(e)n? There are some decent story beats happening here, but the level of bonkers stupidity is just egregious. We have to suspend disbelief for comics, but everything about this issue breaks immersion.

I think this had the potential to be better, but I thought it was still fairly good for what it was. I am interested in the story between Jessica and Gerry, and I thought the way this ended between them, for now, was good and leaves the door open for my exploration later on.

Steve Foxe's initial arc for Jess has had its ups and downs. It's been good when Jess has been kicking butt, but has struggled when her entire personality is confined to her being an emotional mother. I don't like that she is reduced to a blubbering female who is only defined by her motherhood.
