I saw the solicited multiple artists and cringed....however the fill-in artists were used in the best way possible: to do art for parts of the story that happen out of the main story. it all worked out superbly in a phenomenal finish by Al Ewing.

Al Ewing continues to dominate.

continues to be amazing.

Not sure why so many people are hating on this series. Al Ewing succeeds with every single book he writes.

I really like what Justin Jordan is doing with this series so far, and Zircher's art is fantastic, as usual. It's not a deep or epic comic, but it is very fun and entertaining. I found a lot of memorable dialogue as well. Valiant has a great lineup so far in their relaunch; I'd definitely recommend a pickup.

I'm having a really hard time caring about these characters. This is probably my last issue that I'll pick up of this series.

Daniel Way is one of the most divisive writers in the industry. Most either hate him or love him. I'm a victim of Daniel Way, and by that I mean that despite the fact that I know what I'm reading is completely ridiculous and off the wall, I actually enjoy it. I'll be the first to say that this is a bad comic. But there's just something so addicting about it that makes me want to read more.

I take back everything I said about this series. I wasn't convinced by the first issue, but after three fantastic issues of all-consuming hilarity and hijinks, I'm sold! Deadpool is incredible. It's been a good while since I've laughed so hard in a comic book. There are so many jokes and comedic references that some of them will pass right over your head.

Wow. This is why I read comics. This issue has it all, romance, drama, fantasy, tragedy. I can't stress enough how fantastic a job Morrison has done with this book; which makes me all the more sad that he's leaving it.

Do you remember what happened in ASM#563? Probly not. But how many people are going to remember what happened in ASM#698? Everybody. Spidey is my primo character. And although a lot of people hate what Dan Slott is doing, what with taking Peter out of the webs, I love it.

Hawkeye is still a very solid read. Fraction delivers another great story, further evolving our two main Hawkeye heroes. Pulido is great on art too, but I want Aja back. That guy is a freak.

A pretty solid issue from Chris Bachalo. Story was witty at times, bland at others.

The art is a definite booster.

So Guillem March is missing from art after TWO - repeat TWO - issues. WHAT?! In all honesty, I like Ryp's work better than March's (and it's great in this issue), but the mere fact that we have an artist switch after two issues is absurd. That fact dropped my score by a whole point. In terms of writing/story: I just seem to be having trouble getting onboard with the overarching story with Talon.

I don't know what it is about this series, but I just can't seem to get excited about it. I love Brian Wood, and his short X-Men run was outstanding. But this title is just consistently okay. It's never been bad, it's never been great. The actual dialogue is solid and realistic, but the story/plot/central characters just fall very flat in my book. This title has been plagued since the get-go. So f I don't know what it is about this series, but I just can't seem to get excited about it.

Another fantastic issue. Dammit, I am sure going to miss Andrea Sorrentino' art on this title. He's leaving for Green Arrow after issue #15, I believe.

Bendis' final issue is a decent wrapup to a long career on Avengers. I wasn't that stoked about the villain, but at least we are given a sense of finality to the major characters he brought together during his very long run. There were some cool moment interspersed throughout.

With Reis gone to Justice League, Pete Woods and Pere Perez fill in pencils this issue, and I was pleased with their artwork. But there is a definite change in the feel of the book with Reis and Prado out of the picture; different, but still good. Of course, Geoff Johns continues to do wonderful work here, and the whole book is based on a conversation that Aquaman has with his brother, whose face With Reis gone to Justice League, Pete Woods and Pere Perez fill in pencils this issue, and I was pleased with their artwork.

I feel that this series has always just been consistently "good," with a few great moments interspersed, and this issue continues that trend.
