Marvel has insisted on a sliding timescale for some time now.

I realize that having characters not age significantly over decades can lead to problems in a fictional universe, but in my opinion, the best way to deal with this strange phenomenon is to not address it at all. It's just not possible to reconcile every story with actual history, so why try at all?

Goodbye Marvel.
This story is good. Chip has (as should we all) forgotten about Batman and is back where he is inspired. The art from Valerio is, again, well above average. In all (as you can see from my rating) a decent start to what I hope will be a worthwhile run...So, why am I leaving ALL Marvel books?
Captain America is my favourite character. I own a nice copy of Avengers #4. BUT,

This comic is just sooooo good. I'm sitting down, on a day in the late 1970s or early 80s and just loving the read and super art! Thank you Mr Zircher.

For those who can't understand the interpretation of 'hero' in the Ultimate Universe...Did you read the first ever series by the great Mark Millar?

As I said, I don't know anything about them and don't care to go back and read the old stuff. I assume the Millar original is a Marvel version of harsher "heroes" kind of like his Millarverse stuff? Wouldn't they be different now with a different past? Also, the new stuff is pretty different from the original I've heard. Either way it feels more like Camp being Camp and just writing the characters as more of a self insert than anything else. To me anyway. Maybe not, IDK.

I'll be honest...I liked issue 65(!) but I've disliked this story ark from the beginning. For me, the whole concept hasn't worked and I won't reiterate the reasons which the reviewers here on this site have already espoused.
I see the problem as being one of...ability. We need Marvel to engage Writers and Artists who are at the top of their game to do justice to - what is - their best and mo

Batman: Gotham by Gaslight - The Kryptonian Age #6

As threats from the past resurface in his present, Batman must work alongside strange new heroes to save the day--including the steel-hearted sheriff of Smallville, Kansas! The Kryptonian Age may have come to a close, but an age of Justice has only just begun!
5.0
It's average...nothing more to add.
Why though do 'critics' give it marks of 9.5 or laughably 10? The 'Death of Gwen Stacy' is a 9.5, how can a critic give this the same? Please, explain and let me understand the logic.

I have always wondered this. Is this issue as good as Watchmen? As good as the best issue of Sandman? If not, how can it have the same score as those?

Positive reviews pretty much guarantee that they continue to receive issues for free. Consistent criticism if you're a smaller reviewer or don't work for an actual company/site means you might get cut off. I also think that daspidaboy is right. The overall quality has dipped across the board from the big two. While there are still standouts that actually deserve 9s and 10s, objectively, there should really be more middle of the road scores. Not everything needs an 8 or even a 7.
7.5
Finally - after some 6 years - an issue, of what used to be my favourite comic (yes, I have them all from #1) worth reading.
No, by no means faultless but at least it had really(!) good art and a story that actually portrays Marvel characters as themselves...Yes, he's Cap but like T'Challa we all know he's really the Falcon, the Vision as more than a feeble 'love-bot' etc..
