I agree with you, it's getting nowhere, just stuffing after stuffing to sell us shit.

Another good issue in this series. The artwork and storyline are great, leaves you wanting to read the next issue. We are starting to find out more about America's childhood and the choices she had to make being a super-hero.
America Chavez: Made in the USA #2
LIFE. LIBERTY. AND THE PURSUIT OF A MASKED INDIVIDUAL...
The irony of America Chavez's life suddenly shattering into a million pieces is not lost on her... But facing a mysterious threat who seems to know a whole lot about her - maybe even more than America herself? Well, now she's on the brink of breaking apart.
Rated T+
A boring number to die for, again Dick's successes on his 20 suits, what he did etc, we went on to meditation on what a hero is and then to spend the money that Alfred inherited only to him to buy pizza.
Just a little bit of action at the end to make them say it wasn't filler. If you are not a die-hard fan Nightwing fan, don't spend your money, unless you want it to build a bonfire. It's no w

Nightwing #79
Dick Grayson has inherited Alfred's fortune, a puppy, and a whole lot of questions. Who is Mayor Zucco, and what is her relation to the man who murdered Dick's parents? What sinister plans does Blockbuster have for Blüdhaven? What kind of dog food is best for a three-legged puppy? To answer these questions, Dick's going to need a little help from ...
Silence Il n'est pas le seul, DC arrachent les cheveux avec les nouvelles directions qu'ils prennent.
I do not know if DC is going to do it with this, I know that their sales are going down a lot and their strategies are not working. I think they had high hopes for Urban Legends and Chip, but the price coupled with bad stories is not allowing UL to achieve what The Three Jokers did.
I thought this book was great. Story was super captivating, great dialogue and flow. Artwork was done well. I'm a fan, second issue here I come.
Nocterra #1
"FULL THROTTLE DARK," Part One-Ten years after the world is plunged into an everlasting night that turns all living creatures into monstrous shades, the only way to survive is to stay close to artificial light. Enter Valentina "Val" Riggs, a skilled ferryman who transports people and goods along deadly unlit roads with her heavily illuminated eight...
The story pulled me in and I'm eager to read the rest of it. Artwork and colors are done well.
The end is good too because it leaves you wanting more.
Geiger #1
Industry heavyweights GEOFF JOHNS (Superman, Green Lantern, Batman: Three Jokers) and GARY FRANK (Superman, Supergirl, The Incredible Hulk) of DC's DOOMSDAY CLOCK reteam for what will be one of the most anticipated new series of 2021 in the forthcoming GEIGER. This mind blowing new series will take local comic shops by storm in April from Image Com...
Not bad. The art and coloring was done well. It didn't blow me away but I'll most likely pick up issue #2.
Spider-Man: Spider's Shadow #1
WHAT IF PETER PARKER BECAME VENOM?
Peter Parker once put on an alien suit that nearly destroyed his life - but what if he'd never taken it off? Ignoring every warning, Spidey embraces the dark symbiote! Haunted by terrible nightmares and exhausted by an endless barrage of bad guys, Peter can't seem to catch a break these days. So when the Hobgo...
This was pretty bad and generic writing. Artwork was the only thing I enjoyed about it. Definitely wouldn't pick up the second issue.
Darkhawk: Heart of the Hawk #1
Celebrate the 30th anniversary of the '90s hottest hero in three spectacular stories!
First, an untold story from Darkhawk's early days by creators Danny Fingeroth and Mike Manley!
Then explore the winged hero's cosmic years by Dan Abnett and Andrea Di Vito.
Finally, find out what the future holds for Darkhawk by Kyle Higgins and...
This was awful. Two bad issues for Aquaman, won't be a 3rd for me. Artwork is fantastic, but the storyline is pitiful.
Future State: Aquaman #2
Andy Curry, daughter of Arthur and Mera, has had a pretty terrible month. Jackson Hyde, a.k.a. Aquaman, won't stop calling her Aqualass when she's told him a thousand times it's Aquawoman. She's manifested a new power that scares the absolute hell out of her. Oh, and she and Jackson just got ripped apart in the midst of a cosmic space ocean and she...
The idea was a good one but the flow is just so off on this book I couldn't enjoy it.
It felt like someone in a hurry, trying to get through it all. Artwork was really good.
Overall just seems rushed, won't be picking up the next issue.
Beasts of Burden: Occupied Territory #1
The eight-time Eisner Award- winning comic book series blending fantasy and humor returns in a historical adventure blending Japanese and Western occult!
An elder member of the occult-battling pack of Wise Dogs recalls a harrowing mission-in U.S-occupied Japan after World War II, a mysterious curse creates an army of crawling, disembodied heads...

But those worlds are about to collide, as an investigation into a series of gangland murders puts Silk and everyone she loves in danger! Who is this powerful new player i...
The storyline drew me in. The humor wasn't too forced and the flow of the story is good. Not hard to follow at all.
I thought the art on some of the pages was a little weak, my only complaint really.

I thought this issue was great. It was a bit fast paced but given the length of the comic, some things had to be skipped. Great artwork and storyline. Looking forward to the next one.
The Last Witch #2
Captured by the witch known as The Cailleach, Saoirse discovers the true power of her mysterious mark!
But even though she's saved her brother Brahm, Saoirse must grapple with the truth about her family and their shocking connection to an enemy more dangerous than they ever imagined.
Every issue of The Last Witch is oversized, fea...
I'm really tired of this COVID mask motif we see in a lot of comics today. Don't get me wrong, wear a mask, it's good for you, I just see enough of that in the real world, could I please escape from this nightmare at least in my comics or do I have to get tortured there too? King continues with his classic boring deconstruction: the pykkts are actually not that bad, they supposedly fought with hon more
Strange Adventures #9
The Pykkts are attacking Earth. As the only warrior in all the cosmos to ever defeat them, Adam Strange leads the planet's mightiest heroes in all-out war! The only thing is, evidence is mounting that Adam's victory on Rann may not have been everything he says it was. There is time unaccounted for, circumstances left unexplained. Even Batman has st...
Regardless of the reason inside the book for which he was doing the mission, the parallel to COVID is pretty obvious, they could have chosen other types of masks, but no, they specifically chose this type of mask for "awareness" probably.
Mark Russell is a fucking loser
Future State: Superman vs. Imperious Lex #3
Could the last days of Lexor be here already? Thanks to Lex Luthor's greed, his adopted home is on the brink of financial and planetary ruin after leaving the United Planets. Now it's up to Superman to act as a champion of these people and show them there's a way through all of this. Will Lex stand down? Or is this the final showdown? The future of...
I never met the man but from his writing I can get a sense of what a truly vile and distasteful person he must be.
Artwork was great, parts of the story were ok. Just left me feeling, meh and not wanting to read the next issue. I had higher expectations, this isn't the Aquaman I want to read. Aqualad is simply weak and lame.
Future State: Aquaman #1
When Jackson Hyde accepted the mantle of Aquaman, he didn't expect to also have to mentor Andy Curry, Arthur and Mera's teen daughter. Nor did he expect that he and Andy would get sucked into the Confluence-an interdimensional nexus that connects distant planets and galaxies through the One Great Ocean. And he certainly didn't expect to lose Andy i...
I actually really liked the book. Art was well done and I liked the bits of humor. The flow and pacing of the story is spot on, you are left hanging with a mysterious figure. I'll grab the second issue for sure.
America Chavez: Made in the USA #1
WHO IS AMERICA? America Chavez is incredible - her origins, her strength, her dimension-shattering star portals! But when the foundation of everything she believes is shaken, America will stand up and face the parts of herself she's been running from. From writer Kalinda Vazquez (Marvel's Runaways) and artist Carlos Gomez (Amazing Mary Jane) comes ...
A Dark Interlude
After the stunning success of Fearscape, comes A Dark Interlude, the story of-No! The only offence to literature greater than the loathsome synopsis is the sequel. I will not stand idle while some poor excuse for an editor mangles and confuses my story, which is intact, perfect, and concluded, with this derivative drivel. Mark my words, this nonsen...
Strange Adventures (2020)
After winning five Eisner Awards and topping year-end "best of lists," the comic book of 2019 was Mister Miracle. The comic book of 2020 will be Strange Adventures.
The Mister Miracle team of writer Tom King and artist Mitch Gerads are joined by fan-favorite artist Evan "Doc" Shaner to bring you an epic tale in the tradition of Watchmen, The D...
Flipping through this juvenile rag, I have come to the realization that I outgrew Deadpool.

Yeah miss me with this run. Spider-Man is broke and sells out ... AGAIN ?
Peter Parker is Marvel's Peter Pan , and I'm tired of it. I'll pick it up again when shit gets mature.
Last thing I needed to see was Spider-Man cashing in on social media - not as a developer (which would be expected , mature), but as a goddamn wanna-be influencer.
Another bromance with a second rate superher

Amazing Spider-Man #61
• Peter Parker gets a new job!
• Spidey gets a new look!
• And Kingpin's plans start coming together!
Rated T+
He doesn't WANT to be an influencer they told him it was recorded but not like they brought onto him in the fight
Thank you for the engagement. Just because you don't want to be something, does not mean that is the monster you have allowed yourself to become.
This one is hard to rate because the Red Hood story is a 10 for me. The Grifter story is good as well. However, the Black Lightening/Katana part? What is that? Awful, I couldn't get through it fast enough. The whole Harley Quinn/Poison-Ivy thing didn't fit in with the rest of the stories for me either. Given the price tag, it is hard to warrant paying that, when less than 50% of the book is a more
Batman: Urban Legends #1
Batman may be the biggest name in Gotham City, but there are lots of other heroes-and villains-who will get a turn to shine in Batman: Urban Legends, a brand-new monthly series tying into the biggest events in Gotham City. The series begins with these can't-miss tales:
