Yeah, I didn't like this. A lot of the narration and dialogue is cringe, "cOlOnIaLisM iS iN yOuR bLOoD, xAvIeR", I rolled my eyes so hard at that, all the pseudo-phylosophy that Percy insists with, even though he sucks at it, all this Jean nonsense that needs to stop, Omega Red lying in bed with him which was super weird. Also how is Sabretooth contacting the Professor (if that's Xavier)? I'm bein more

THE FATE OF ALL EXISTENCE LIES IN THE HANDS OF FIVE TWISTED MINDS!
Five of the world's greatest heroes - Spider-Man, Black Bolt, Blade, Wasp, and Iron Man - took a chance and read from the cursed Darkhold. They were meant to gain the power to fight back the dread elder god Chthon - but instead they've lost their minds and all they once held dea...
pepe Larraz art is great here, but it is wasted on bad plots. Cyclops being Captain Krakoa was very obvious, I'm not even sure how this work in universe like " Cylops died and then thi new guy show up from nowhere covering his face".
Sunfire says that FeiLong can't stay on Phobos, but why? If mutants can claim Mars, he can be on Phobos

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO CAPTAIN KRAKOA?

Inferno #4
TO EMBERS!
Jonathan Hickman's time on X-Men ends with the dramatic conclusion of one of the first and best mysteries he brought to the line. Valerio Schiti returns on art to help bring down one of the foundations of the era.

I'm giving it a 1 because I can't give it a 0. this story seems to be the start of a bunch of poorly written stories to come to please mcu fans. Wanda's personality is a door, the heroes of the council have the most meaningless votes in the world, two telepaths in the council and nobody read Groxo's mind to know if he was telling the truth? This sucks. this Leah Williams should be fired, she can' more

I'm very critical of the hype Al Ewing receives, but this issue was so good. Great plot twist and very consistent with the early issue.

Batman / Catwoman #9
Batman and Catwoman may have just gotten back together, but Joker is ready to complicate things by asking Selina for a favor that could lead to Batman's demise! That's not the only trick he has up his sleeve...he's also hiding a secret that will drive Phantasm mad. Plus, Batwoman hunts down her own mother!
For a last issue, it was decent.

Over the top characterizations, it was so funny when Wiccan exploded at Wanda saying he defended her his whiole life.
It's incoherent stories and charcterizations. Wanda doesn't remember doing bad things because she was ressurrected with only younger memories. Wanda already accepted responsability for her actions and move on.
This mini isn't adding anything interesting to Wan

X-Men: The Trial of Magneto #4
DOUBLE, DOUBLE TOIL AND TROUBLE! A Wanda divided cannot stand......but there are many other things she can do. Chaos comes to Krakoa.
Other writers turning X of swords into a dance off event didn't help at all. I mean I liked some of hickman's x-men run, but overall it felt way too disjointed and messy for me
Cates wrote this to showcase Ottley art. The story is very decompressed, feel like we are on the second part of the pilot of a tv show. But it is really fun and there is a easter egg about Authority. The end really picked my interest.
If you are a specuato, you may want to get this issue
Hulk #2
"MAD SCIENTIST" Part 2 of 6 Bruce Banner finally has total control with the Hulk locked away. But with a tight grip on his plans, Bruce forgot one thing...variables can happen at any time...and this one? Even Bruce couldn't have imagined. The craziness continues, as the Hulk hurdles farther into space, but he is not alone out there!
Dissapointing ending that isn't even a ending

I thought about writing a review but really this says it all, and more succinctly.
Very dissapointing. Logan knew a woman for few hours and already had a deep connection with her

It is clear to me, clear as day, that Tom Taylor hates Batman from the bottom of his heart, given how many times he has characters scorn him. Yes, he does "cool" things with him here and there, but that's just for the fanbase because he is the type of writer who knows his skills are limited and relies a lot on pleasing the fanbase, it's his modus operandi, hence also the "Jon is bi thing".

Monarchs will die, kingdoms will rise, and what seemed the end of the world for many...was only the beginning! An epic high-fantasy story set in a DC Universe where nothing is what it seems... From worldwide bestselling writer Tom Taylor (DCeased, S...
I also loved Injustice, hated DCeased, liked the first issue here but with the second I'm already not liking where this is going. I don't like the constant shade throwing at Bruce, he does it all the time. As for Supes, he totally was a douche to Bruce without any reason whatsoever other than to create tension between them. I don't like how he's treating a lot of characters here. I hope next issues will be better.

I dropped this book a long time ago because it was unreadable but I wanted to get back for the anniversary at least. And I had some fun. One of the reasons I had fun is that I could feel Aaron's pain for having to turn She-Hulk back to her sexy self, probably because of the tv show. Dude still carries a grudge for fans hating his version of She-Hulk and he peppered the book with hints at that, jus more

Decent response, you're not wrong. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I also remember liking the first arc but then it started going downhill faster and faster. I know some people liked it but overall the reaction to it was very mixed and Aaron's childish tantrums didn't help either.
